FOOD MYTH

-
The Myth: There has always been a belief that the more you eat the more weight (kilogram or pounds) you add. This has instilled great fear in people who tend to reduce their consumption drastically and some later develop medical/health issues such as ulcers, low immunity, low strength, malnutrition, to mention but a few. These people end up requiring medical attention to get back balanced and full of good health. In the case of some people, they develop obesophobia- the fear of gaining weight: while some other persons give in to anorexia nervosa- pleasure at getting thin. These people require the attention of a therapist and other possible help. All of these come up just because of the myth- the more you eat, the fatter you become.

The Truth: The more but balanced and healthy food you eat, the less fat you develop, and the more healthy you become. Eat more if you want, only ensure it is balanced. The right proportion of carbs, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals, water and fibres is all that is needed for a good meal and a healthy body. Aside from eating, do not forget to reduce junks and increase workouts and other activities that will keep you working and your body system in action.
Making your body at rest always, inactive with constant feeding is one of the things that increase body size. Eat as much healthy and good food as you want. Embrace veggies. Sleep adequately not excess. Balance every other aspect of your life and get the best body size you want.
Leave out the myth. Don't be ignorant. know the truth.
Eat well. Live well.

7 Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime. If that seems like a big step for you, then you can start by saying ‘no’ to that annoying colleague who loves sabotaging your healthy eating habits by tempting you with a piece of chocolate cake. These might seem like small steps, but taking the opportunity to say ‘no’ to minor instances will help you say ‘no’ to bigger things – whether it’s
