How to lose weight while you sleep? We can all agree that exercising regularly is the best way to lose weight and stay healthy. But do we exercise daily? No. Do we sleep daily? Yes. So what could be a better way to lose weight than to do so while we sleep? The first thing you’ll need to do is boost your metabolism. As scientific studies show, cold water forces your body to burn more calories since it has to heat up to get that water in your belly warmer. The same concept works with the water you’re bathing in. By the way, all these tips will help you burn calories as you sleep. But just sleeping for 8 hours gets rid of 300 calories on its own! TIMESTAMPS: Boost your metabolism 0:25 Chug that water 1:01 Take cold showers 1:28 Snooze 2:08 Lower the room temperature 2:48 Get yourself that morning pick-me-up 3:22 Change the oil, not the recipe 3:55 Spice things up with your meals 4:22 Season with apple cider vinegar 4:53 Eat carbs 5:20 Munch on those proteins 5:54 Hit the gym 6:23 Do some high-intensity workouts 6:53 Add fiber in your diet 7:32 Don’t cut your calories 8:02 NIH Clinical Center - Aerial: By National Cancer Institute, Public Domain https://creativecommons.org/publicdom..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...

How to Survive Natural Disasters. Here’s a list of survival tips that can save your life in an emergency. We live in a time when natural disasters occur more and more often and get more and more devastating. Many of us believe we should blame the human race for that. Whether it’s true or not, we all want to know how to survive when those disasters happen. Some rules are universal for most natural disasters. A national campaign called Ready was started in the United States to inform the population about how to get ready for and survive in different emergency situations. It recommends having a basic survival kit to provide you with the most important things just in case. Remember you will need to have enough food, water, and other supplies for at least 72 hours after the disaster. “Other supplies” include a battery powered weather radio, flashlight, first aid kit, a whistle, a dust mask, personal sanitation items (such as moist towelettes), pliers, can opener for food, maps of your area and an emergency cell phone with backup batteries. TIMESTAMPS Hurricane 0:40 Tornado 1:45 Tsunami 3:15 Flood 4:10 Avalanche 5:03 Wildfire 6:00 Earthquake 7:00 SUMMARY - If a hurricane starts while you are driving, leave your vehicle and find a building to shelter in, or a ditch. Stopping in an overpass will not save you. If your home is a trailer and there is enough time to flee to a safe area – do it. - If a tornado starts when you are in a public building, follow the same rules. You want to stay as low as possible. Avoid windows and open spaces such as auditoriums, gyms, and large hallways. Desks and benches can give you some extra protection if you get under them. It is impossible to outrun a tornado. - Tsunamis are so fast they hit the coast minutes after the earthquake. Remember that tall buildings, including hotels right in the beach area, can provide an excellent shelter. In case a tsunami finds you at sea, stay there instead of going back to the coast. It won’t be a safe haven. - Don’t try to be the bravest person around and stay in your house once you hear the evacuation warning. Leave for safety in higher grounds with your important papers in a waterproof container. If a flash flood gives you no time to evacuate and the water is all around you, don’t try to swim across it. - When an avalanche starts, try to move to the side of the slope as fast as you can. There will be more snow in the center of the flow. To move faster, drop any heavy equipment you have on you. If you can’t escape it, try using a sturdy tree to keep you above the snow. - If you find yourself in a wildfire area, it is critically important to ensure that you can breathe. If you fail to do it, you can pass out in the midst of a danger zone. Use a wet cloth to cover your nose and mouth and escape to safety. - If an earthquake starts when you are inside, stay where you were. Experts say that during an earthquake you must drop to the floor, get underneath a table, cover your neck and head with one hand, and hold on with the other hand. Your entire body must be under the table. Don’t try to run out of the building - the exterior of a building is one of the most dangerous places.

There is enough evidence that the drink provides better endurance and more energy during workouts. - Lemon with baking soda will provide cleansing for your body. Lemon, in particular, is a diuretic. It stimulates your body to urinate - therefore the excess of water, salts, toxins, and fats is expelled. - This combination can also be used for dental care. Be careful - its abrasive qualities may harm the teeth if you try to use this mixture for whitening them. - Lemon combined with baking soda improves digestion. It works as a perfect antacid reducing bloating, heartburn, cramping, and other symptoms of indigestion. - Lemon baking soda drink prevents the negative effect free radicals have on your body. The result? It is very beneficial for your skin as it can slow down the signs of aging, surprise your skin with a healthy glow, and reduce the speed at which wrinkles appear.

Here are ten scientifically proven tips on how to achieve your dream body in almost no time. TIMESTAMPS Use blue plates 0:38 Be more optimistic 1:05 30 minutes of exercising is enough 1:35 Eat slowly, and eat alone 2:05 Avoid eating in front of your computer or TV 2:55 Don’t overheat your house 3:54 Reading food labels 4:35 Eat more yogurt and nuts 4:59 Add hot peppers and spices in your diet 6:06 Drink plenty of water 6:26 If you’re hungry, smell bananas 7:06 SUMMARY - A study involving 3,000 volunteers who smelled these foods when they were hungry found that their appetites decreased. And the results were soon reflected on the scales. - One recent study has shown that the color blue decreases appetite. So try some changes like decorating your table with a blue tablecloth, blue napkins, blue plates, and glasses. - Every positive thought matters. The idea is to focus only on good thoughts and repeat your goals as if they were your mantra. - A healthy diet plan does help you lose weight, but it’s critical to combine good nutrition with some physical exercise. Even low-risk activities, such as walking will be beneficial. - When you’re eating out, always choose the smallest portion.

Therefore, we are not aware of how much we’ve eaten. - According to research published in the journal Obesity Reviews, there’s a link between reduced exposure to seasonal cold and increases in obesity in the UK, US, and other developed countries. - The Nutrition Facts food labels can be very useful in helping you make healthy choices and lose weight. A study published in the Journal of Consumer Affairs suggests that people who read food labels on a regular basis are more likely to lose weight, especially women between the ages of 37-50. - According to research conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health, eating yogurt and nuts is more effective in the long run for weight loss than eating fruits and vegetables. - Consuming chilies and other hot peppers also helps to make the pounds fly off since they accelerate your metabolism. Also, cayenne pepper reduces appetite and burns calories faster, according to research from Purdue University. - You should stay well hydrated every day. Make it a habit of drinking a glass of water in the morning on an empty stomach and a glass of water before going to sleep.

How to know if people think you're attractive? We all doubt our attractiveness from time to time, seeing more and more flaws every day. But if you think you're not that appealing, it doesn't necessarily mean it's true in the eyes of other people! There are a couple of clear psychological signs that can tell you a lot about your appearance and natural magnetism. When we see a naturally gorgeous person, we automatically think that they can't have low self-esteem. As a result, we give these people fewer compliments, and that’s simply because we assume they already know how beautiful they are. You look just as outstanding as you think! TIMESTAMPS: People rarely compliment you 0:57 Compliments coming your way usually sound apathetic 1:53 Strangers often try to make eye contact with you 2:44 People raise their brows when looking at you 3:44 People periodically make “duck lips” when looking at you 4:53 People try to get closer to you 5:40 People are surprised when they find out that you have complexes 6:20 People are usually either too polite or extremely unfriendly with you 7:11 #beauty #attractpeople #confident Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: - When we see a naturally gorgeous person, we automatically think that they can't have low self-esteem. As a result, we give these people fewer compliments, and that’s simply because we assume they already know how beautiful they are. - As we tend to think that attractive people know exactly how hot they are, we don't see much sense in paying extra attention to it. And that's exactly why compliments end up sounding so trivial and mundane! - We can lie with our words, but our body language always tells the truth. Accordingly, if someone keeps looking at you (even for short periods of time), this person obviously likes you. - We raise our brows to show our friendly attitude nonverbally. Moreover, it's also a subconscious attempt to open our eyes even wider to see something or somebody that attracted our attention. - According to body language experts, it's closely connected to a subconscious wish to kiss! The same thing goes for licking lips, and this gesture is clearly a bit more expressive. - We keep our distance from people who don't seem attractive to us and try to keep close to those who give off positive vibes. - If the people around you become extremely surprised upon hearing about your complexes, it's one of the clearest signs that your problem with your appearance is purely imaginary. - If people either love you or hate you, this means only one thing: you're not indifferent to them. A self-confident person who doesn’t have complexes and considers themselves attractive and successful appreciates the same qualities in other people.

Being a soldier often requires some real-life MacGyvering. But you don’t have to be in the military to benefit from tips like putting duct tape on your feet to prevent blisters or using cotton balls and Vaseline to get your campfire started. Here are 11 hacks from the men and women in uniform that’ll make your life a lot easier! For instance, there’s a very particular hack when it comes to those super shiny soldier shoes. Take a generous amount of shoe shine, rub it on your leather shoes or boots, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then, go over the area with a lighter or flame, and get ready to see your own reflection! For a finishing touch, use a clean damp cloth to polish the surface. If you want to know about other tricks, watch the video! TIMESTAMPS: Duct taping your feet 0:40 Ladder lacing for added ankle support 1:25 Maxi pads for first-aid 2:38 Putting sugar on wounds 3:17 Running tights for added warmth 3:52 Super shiny shoes 4:19 The military tuck 5:00 Cotton and Vaseline as a fire starter 5:42 Lose a tail when driving 6:18 Making a pristine bed 6:39 Peeing in the shower 7:34 #militaryhacks #lifehacks #makeyourlifeeasier Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: - Nowadays, soldiers use duct tape to prevent blisters and calluses caused by those notoriously uncomfortable military boots. - If you still have a lot of lace left (although you shouldn’t with this laddering technique), just wrap it around your ankle and then tie it. Tuck the remaining laces inside your shoe. - In case of an emergency, you can use sanitary pads to prevent a wound from bleeding out. - Speaking of first-aid in a pinch, you can put sugar on a wound to prevent bacterial infection. Don’t worry because this unconventional medical treatment has scientific backing based on a study by the University of Arizona’s College of Medicine. - Running or compression tights aren’t just for jogging or making a fashion statement. You can wear them under almost any pants without them being noticeable. - Covering cotton balls in petroleum jelly and lighting them on fire, you get a strong but steady flame that keeps on burning. A great hack next time you go camping! - If you ever feel like the driver in your rearview mirror is following you, all you gotta do is make 4 consecutive turns in a row. This is usually the best way to lose a tail! - According to the medical community, it actually prevents and cures athlete’s foot! Urine has natural properties like uric acid and ammonia that help fight fungal infections.
