Wanna Loose Weight???
Eating small amount of chocolate regularly could help you lose weight
London: For chocolate-lovers feeling guilty about their indulgence it is the best kind of news – eating more can help keep you thinner. Although chocolate contains more calories than many other foods, those who eat it regularly have less body fat than those who don’t, a study shows.
Researchers suspect the calories in chocolate are not like ‘normal’ calories.
According to the Daily Mail, the ingredients in chocolate appear to make your metabolism work harder, which means they offset the fat that might otherwise have stayed around.
As a result, the metabolic effects of certain ingredients make chocolate a good slimming food because it is calorie- neutral, says the U.S. study.
The study, published last night, did not specify which type of chocolate was best.
But it appears to back up the claim by Hollywood star Katharine Hepburn about her slim physique when she said: ‘What you see before you is the result of a lifetime of chocolate.’
Study leader Dr Beatrice Golomb, from the University of California at San Diego, said: ‘Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their ultimate impact on weight.
‘In the case of chocolate, this is good news, both for those who have a regular chocolate habit, and those who wish to start one.’
The scientists investigated the chocolate-eating habits of 972 men and women with an average age of 57 for a study of statins – cholesterol-lowering drugs.
The participants did not have any known heart problems but were asked diet and lifestyle questions including: ‘How many times a week do you consume chocolate?’ Their Body Mass Index, which relates weight to height, was also recorded.
The surprising findings showed those who ate chocolate on more days of the week than average were statistically likely to have a lower BMI.
This was despite the fact that people who ate more chocolate did not consume fewer calories overall, or take more exercise. In fact they ate more. Chocolate consumption was associated with greater overall saturated fat intake from other sources.
Volunteers had an average BMI of 28 – meaning they were overweight – and ate chocolate on average twice a week.
The study did not look at what type of chocolate the participants ate or how much. As a result, no link was seen between the amount of chocolate eaten and either higher or lower BMI.
The researchers warn the study’s findings may not apply to all products containing chocolate and do not rule out the possibility that some people can put on weight with frequent modest chocolate consumption.
But the results, published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, broadly fit with previous research on rats showing benefits from some chemicals found in chocolate, including speeding up the metabolism.
Epicatechin, one chemical derived from the chocolate ingredient cocoa, has been shown to boost numbers of mitochondria, the cells’ energy-generating ‘power houses’.
Mitochondria burn up calories and epicatechin reduced weight in rats whose calorie intake and exercise levels were unchanged. Another antioxidant ingredient theo bromine is a stimulant.
Other studies have found that the benefits of chocolate can include a drop in the risk of heart disease and strokes, a reduction in blood pressure and a cut in the risk of diabetes.

MATERIALS
A cup of room temperature water
At least 2 nail polish colors (thin polish works best)
1 clear or white base coat
Tape (we used packing tape since its extra sticky)
Toothpicks
Cotton swabs
Nail polish remover
A cup of room temperature water
At least 2 nail polish colors (thin polish works best)
1 clear or white base coat
Tape (we used packing tape since its extra sticky)
Toothpicks
Cotton swabs
Nail polish remover
1. Apply a base coat to your nails. Once it’s dry, use tape to mask off your nails. Wrap the tape around the back of your finger too, to protect it from polish.
2. Unscrew the lids of your polishes so that they’re easy to access. Drop a bead of the first polish into the center of the water. Remember, we want room temperature water! If the water is too cold, your polish drop will sink to the bottom instead of spreading across the surface of the water. Then, as the first bead spreads out, add a drop of the second polish color. Keep adding as many drops as you like, but remember that polish dries quickly — do this step as fast as possible!
3. Use a toothpick to swirl the colors together.
4. Find your favorite part of the swirled polish, and dip your taped-off nail against it and into the water.
5. Holding your nail in the water, lightly blow on the rest of the floating polish. Then, twirl your toothpick in the water to gather and remove the extra polish from the cup.
6. Take your finger out of the cup, and carefully remove the tape around your nail. Use your cotton swab and polish remover to clean up any excess polish.
XOXO Muaahhhhh :-*

Some Homely Beauty Tips and Measures to apply
We go and spend loads and loads of money for our daily Beauty needs like body scrub,Lip balm and what not.I agree all that sweet smell, amazing look of them and the feel they give us makes us run back to the store and grab them but lets try the NATURAL way for once. Here are some DIY natural beauty products you can make at home not only do they work wonders but since they are natural they will have a very positive affect on your skin. Get ready to use these from next time girls.
Lip Balm
Are you surprised that this is on the list? I know, we think that lip balms are very hard to make and everything but you are so wrong.These are one of the easiest things to make and here is how. Take some beeswax, Coconut oil, fragrance oil(optional and depends on what flavor you want it in) and sweet almond oil. Melt all of these together in a boiler and pour these into a container and TADA!! your lip balm is ready.Its very natural and good for your lips.You can get all these products in any stores.From now on, say bye bye to the lip balms in the store and try these.
Moisturizer
I am sucker for those coco-butter, Shea butter moisturizers. Oh boy, They make me go crazy but if you want something really amazing for your skin then throw those moisturizers from the store away and use coconut oil instead( When i say coconut oil buy pure coconut oil from the stores) They smell wonderful but if you hate the smell of coconuts then use virgin olive oil instead as it works the same way.
Hair Mask
If you are one of those girls who uses straightener or blow dryers then this tip is for you. Take a egg and whisk it and mix a table spoon of water and apply it to your hair. Take a plastic cover or shower cap and stuff your hair in it for the best results,Leave it like that for 10-15 minutes and then take a shower.This is will repair the hair and will make it stronger.
Body Scrub
Body Scrubbing is one of the most important things any girl should do.We take care of our face well enough but some how neglect the body.For a body scrub you don’t need to go spend good money on them.Here is an alternative, Take olive oil and sea salt and use it as your body scrub.You can feel your smooth skin all shiny and pretty after its done.
Hair Treatment
One more Hair treatment for you girls. Take some Apple Cider Vinegar and rinse your hair with it.Once that is done take some shampoo(less than how much you would usually use) and wash it off so that remaining of the vinegar would leave the hair.
These are some of the best DIY Beauty treatments you can do it home in NO TIME and would give out the best results.Try them a couple of times and see the results for yourself.Hope you liked this post.Till next time…
XOXO :)))))))))))))))))))))
