Dear Friends,
We all know that it is very important to take care of our health. These days, due to our busy schedules, we are unable to manage the balance and continue with habitual procedures of taking care of our health.
Now, for everything, there is technology! Washing machines, mixers, grinders, and so on... We are not doing anything manually, so where is the chance of exercise? We will end up with diabetes.
Let us share tips for health such as weight loss, skin management, body care, and healthy recipes that can keep us fit. I will surely share the same in this thread!
I request all of you to share the same so that it will be very useful to one and all.
I request my dear friends not to joke and make fun of others' posts and tips. I hope to have your kind cooperation.

Eye Care - Tips to Rejuvenate Your Eyes
Be it pollution, stress, or examination tension, you have enough reason to be worried about your appearance. After all, you don't want to be called the 'Queen of dark circles' or 'Princess puffy eyes'. Fortunately, there are simple remedies to treat your eyes. You don't need to visit a cosmetologist or even a salon. You can sit at home, relax in your easy chair, and take care of your eyes.
"The common advice given is to cool and relax one's eyes with slices of cucumber placed over eyelids." A few drops of coconut oil massaged around the eyes help get rid of dark spots. When one does not have time for face packs, using an under-eye concealer is the best option. A solution of glycerin and lemon juice applied around the eyes removes dark circles. Also, cotton pads soaked in cold milk and placed around the eyes cool the eyes.
A mixture of saffron and honey applied around the eyes can do good. It is believed that washing one's face every night with rosewater refreshes the eyes. In order to remove puffiness from the eyelids and also for long eyelashes, a thin coat of castor oil can be applied before going to bed. Baggy or puffy eyes can be treated by keeping ice cubes on them.
Most people tend to doze off while reading. However, those who wear contact lenses must ensure that they take them off before sleeping, as this could lead to puffy eyes.
Eat Healthy: Green leafy vegetables are a must. Carrots are good for the eyes. Ensure that your diet is rich in Vitamins A, B, and C.
Drink plenty of water: Your system needs purification.
Use user-friendly makeup: Make sure you remove your makeup before you retire to bed.
Finally, sleep: It is important to get eight hours of sleep. You will feel revitalized, and this will reflect in your eyes.

10 Essential Health Tips
"He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything." -Arabian Proverb
1. Move More
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…. Then do it!
2. Cut Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!
3. Quit Smoking
The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.
4. Reduce Stress
Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them.
5. Protect Yourself from Pollution
If you can't live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: 'Smoke gets in your eyes'…and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants….hum the tune daily.
6. Wear Your Seat Belt
Statistics show that seat belts add to longevity and help alleviate potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down and buckle up.
7. Floss Your Teeth
Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don't? Thought for the day: Floss and be your body's boss.
8. Avoid Excessive Drinking
While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time.
9. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook
There's a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can't be unhappy when you're smiling or singing.
10. Choose Your Parents Well
The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn't mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny.

Hi Nithya,
Here is mine...
One of the common spoken subjects: Dieting & Weight Loss!! Hope you find it useful... 🌟
Rice is very commonly consumed in India, which contains high amounts of unwanted carbohydrates that can easily cause weight gain. So, either control the intake of rice or opt for whole grain breads and brown rice, which will be useful!! 🌟
Switching over to Low-Fat Milk or Skimmed Milk!! 🌟
And yes, Cooking Methods also make a world of difference. Avoid methods like deep frying where we use excessive oil. Instead, try using healthy methods like baking and grilling!! 🌟
Fruits and vegetables are low in Calories. So, increasing the intake of these will help!! 🌟
One common tip I regularly read is finishing off Dinner by 7-8 pm. And that does not mean eating snacks later on!! 🌼
No skipping Breakfast at any cost!! 🌷 Studies indicate that when one has breakfast regularly, the person feels less hungry in the evenings! No wonder, breakfast takes the credit of being the most important meal!! 🌟
Try to divide food into smaller portions and consume them at regular intervals!! 🌟
Taking warm water instead helps in burning unwanted calories!! Drinking a minimum of 5 liters per day surely helps!! 🌟
And, EXERCISING regularly is also important if one is serious about shedding weight. Walking is a very effective exercise. My Aunt, a doctor, says taking a 10-15 minute walk before meals helps suppress your appetite. 🌟
And to top it all off, a POSITIVE approach and a goal to reduce weight are necessary!! 🌟

Tips to Remain Slim
First of all, we must be determined to remain slim and work towards it. Develop a mindset towards it. Set realistic goals. Make lifestyle changes like giving up alcohol, smoking, avoiding fatty foods, and refined foods. Include fresh foods as much as possible, as processed foods tend to contain high levels of salt and sugar. Do not expect immediate results. Never go for crash diets; instead, reduce weight gradually and slowly. Never skip meals, as you tend to eat more at the next meal. Do not skip breakfast, in particular. Include a lot of fiber in your diet as it gives a feeling of fullness, thereby preventing you from overeating spicy and fatty foods. Nuts contain a lot of fiber. They are satisfying and cause people to eat less at mealtime. Take warm lime juice mixed with honey first thing in the morning.
Go for skimmed milk. As far as possible, avoid weight loss supplements. When you have cravings for sweets, take a fruit instead. When you have cravings for a certain type of food like chocolates or ice cream, you can indulge in small quantities once in a while. Take fruits and vegetables with a high water content like watermelons, cucumbers, and white pumpkin. Keep yourself engaged as boredom leads to overeating. Drink a lot of water, at least 8 glasses per day. Use the stairs instead of the lift. Park the car a little farther away and walk to your office. Use every opportunity to be physically active.
Walk, walk, and walk as much as possible. Even if you are busy, go for a walk at least 5 days a week. Aerobic exercises like jogging, swimming, cycling, and running accelerate weight loss. Consult a physician before starting any weight loss program. Aerobic exercise combined with healthy eating will certainly help in weight reduction. Make your exercise sessions enjoyable. Keep yourself free of stress. Finally, weight loss is a slow process, so do not get disappointed and give up.

Include fresh foods as much as possible, as processed foods tend to contain high levels of salt and sugar. Do not expect immediate results. Never go for crash diets; instead, reduce weight gradually and slowly. Never skip meals, as you tend to eat more at the next meal. Do not skip breakfast, in particular. Include a lot of fiber in your diet as it gives a feeling of fullness, thereby preventing you from overeating spicy and fatty foods. Nuts contain a lot of fiber. They are satisfying and cause people to eat less at mealtime. Take warm lime juice mixed with honey first thing in the morning.
Go for skimmed milk. As far as possible, avoid weight loss supplements. When you have cravings for sweets, take a fruit instead. When you have cravings for a certain type of food like chocolates or ice cream, you can indulge in small quantities once in a while. Take fruits and vegetables with a high water content like watermelons, cucumbers, and white pumpkin. Keep yourself engaged as boredom leads to overeating. Drink a lot of water, at least 8 glasses per day. Use the stairs instead of the lift. Park the car a little farther away and walk to your office. Use every opportunity to be physically active.
Walk, walk, and walk as much as possible. Even if you are busy, go for a walk at least 5 days a week. Aerobic exercises like jogging, swimming, cycling, and running accelerate weight loss. Consult a physician before starting any weight loss program. Aerobic exercise combined with healthy eating will certainly help in weight reduction. Make your exercise sessions enjoyable. Keep yourself free of stress. Finally, weight loss is a slow process, so do not get disappointed and give up.

Nithya,
Calculate your calorie intake and understand the calorie values of common cooked foods. Here is a rough idea:
- For any fried item (sweet or salty): Multiply the weight by 6-7 calories. For example, a Samosa weighing 100-150 grams will be equal to 600-1000 calories, which is equivalent to one complete meal.
- For normal cooked items: Multiply the weight of the item by 3-4 calories. For instance, one roti weighing 30 grams equals 120 calories.
- Common cold drinks contain 50-200 calories per 100 ml.
- Calorie requirement: Calculate your calorie requirements. You generally need around 1 calorie per minute for your basic needs. Add 1 calorie per minute for normal activities like household chores (3-5 calories per minute) or very active exercises like running or gym sessions. To lose 1 kg per week, you need a daily calorie deficit of 500 calories or more.
