Eat more, lose more.
Usually when people are trying to lose weight they think they need to eat less of everything and therefore they start the hunger diet, but fortunately these people are wrong. Scientists have proven that instead of eating very little for only two or three times a day, people should continue to eat little but six times a day. The science behind this explains it all. When you eat more and sufficiently your metabolism is always active and therefore burns more calories. The only problem to this theory is that when people decide to eat six times a day instead of three they are unable to control the amount of food in each meal and end up eating too much in all of them. The correct thing to do is to eat regularly at breakfast, lunch and dinner time and to eat less and light food during the morning and afternoon breaks. If you have a second breakfast in your morning break this won’t help you at all. It is obvious, however, that if one is trying to lose weight this new diet form will not be the glorious solution. Exercise also needs to be in the plans of someone who is planning to enter an appropriate diet. At least one hour a day of exercise is fundamental for good health and especially for those who want to be thinner.

Learn the benefits and the recipe of the honey wax
The honey wax is ideal for waxing because of the properties of the honey which is an allergy free product. It is indicated especially for the most sensible parts like the armpits, the fluff and the groin, but it can and should be used in any placed that will be waxed. Interestingly it is also indicated for people who have problems with circulation. Unfortunately it is sometimes not the best option for women who have been shaving with a blade for a long time because they tend to have thick hair. It is important to remember that one can only appear in the sun after 24 hours because the recipe contains lemon, which can stain the skin.
Ingredients:

- 1 spoon of water
How to prepare:
Begin by stirring the sugar slowly in a pan. Then pour the honey and continue stirring. When the mixture becomes consistent, squeeze half a lemon. After it starts boiling, squeeze the other half of the lemon. Then you just need to pour the water and wait the wax cool for 5 minutes and you can apply to the skin.

Tips to maintain a good memory
Many people tend to associate the loss of memory or Alzheimer with genetics, but they can be very wrong. A study made by scientists in the University of Columbia in the USA showed that a good diet and exercise is just the key to maintain a good memory for a long time. This way it was found that people who did exercise regularly, had a diet rich in fish, oil and vegetables were 60% less probable of developing this disease. Also, other diseases can contribute for an individual to develop this disease, some include: diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular related diseases. Overall the study showed that any inflammatory disease can contribute for the development of the disease. Another way to prevent this disease is by trying not to consume many medicines because this also jeopardizes memory in general.

A good experience....
On many of my posts, or at least some I have talked about how it is important to sleep well and I even gave tips on how to sleep well if one wasn’t able. Today I feel I need to share an experience that emphasizes the importance of sleeping well in someone’s life.
Yesterday night I was a bit nervous because today I would have my Portuguese IOC and I took longer than usual to sleep, but here is what I did. I went to bed before midnight since I had to be up at 8 am today and I closed my eyes and thought about good things. I remembered good experiences I had lived and when I realized it was already 8 am. Sadly I had to go to school on a Sunday to do an IOC at 9 am in the morning. Everything went just alright.
When I came back I felt I had to sleep more because it is Sunday and I needed to rest for another long week of school. I was able to sleep from 10 am until 1 pm and when I woke up I felt so relaxes that after lunch I was able to write an English written task in less than one hour and I still researched a bit.
At about 4 I felt I needed more sleep and I slap from 4 to 6 pm which scared me a bit because it was so great that when I woke up I was feeling lighter and I was able to finish my work very fast.
Sleeping is essential for productivity.
