We need significantly more harm reduction posts/tips.
No, you shouldn't turn to purging, you shouldn't take laxatives you don't need, detox shit does nothing -that's the point of your liver and kidneys, if you feel like you are going to faint or your heart rate is too high please eat something and go to the ER if you need to, your brain is literally eating itself so try to eat 500cal worth of food or more to help that and anything below that is nearly useless, try to actually prevent a binge by eating what your body needs- not distracting yourself, pay attention to your nutritional needs, fiber, protein, minerals, and vitamins is very important and you should be eating it even if your not eating carbs (which you should still be eating but I understand if it's too scary to do so), yes, you are sick and shouldn't promote and worship your ED, it is not your friend.
The biggest part of having an ana buddie is having someone tell you when you SHOULD eat and not push you too far. Stay away from ana coaches.
Starving for a month or starving for years, regardless you have damaged your body in some way. Your bones, organs, immune system, will have permit repercussions even well into recovery. Especially if you relapse over and over too. The sooner you get better the less damage is risked.
There are so many ways of getting thin and not hating your body. If you even think you don't want to do this any more, please, please, please take your chance out.
If not as a community we should still take the time and effort to keep each other as safe as possible.
Please remember to be kind to yourself and others, everyone is already going through something.

Complete Guide : How to looksmax & drastically improve your appearance
Looksmaxing refers to the practice of enhancing one's physical appearance through various methods like grooming, skincare, fitness, etc. It's about YOU and feeling the need to constantly remind yourself that you can be better. In this guide, I’m sharing with you ridiculously specific tips to drastically improve your appearance.
body language
Being beautiful is not only about having big lips and a striking jawline. No, it's about the feeling you give to other people, about your energy. Furthermore, it's about how you have embodied your energy. The only way you can embody this truly, is by accepting your authentic energy.
· make eye contact
· keep your head up
· don’t play with your jewelry
· be extremely, obnoxiously confident
· stand up straight, push your shoulders back slightly and open up your chest
· smile more often, it will make you look more charismatic & happy, so you will appear more attractive, as many say “be happy and you will be beautiful”
diet
Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in transforming your skin from the inside out. By eating a balanced diet that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, you can help to maintain healthy, glowing skin. You will not only look your best, but also feel your best. Your diet should look like this :
· low carb
· low sugar
· 3L of water daily
· lots of veggies & fruit
· high protein, fibre & potassium
· only eat organic grass-fed meat (for meat)
· 3 Brazilian nuts a day, they improve your skin health & hair health
· ginger shots, a combination of ginger, freshly squeezed lemon juice & water or coconut water. The health benefits of ginger shots include : decreasing inflammation, calming indigestion, and boosting immunity. Keep in mind that ginger shots are meant to be drunk all at once as a quick shot. Be careful not to drink more than one shot a day since too much ginger can cause heartburn.
makeup
· keep it natural, don’t overdo it and remember, less is more
· curl your lashes & mascara (Dior iconic overcurl is my fave mascara!!)
· contour & bronze cheeks (Chanel bronzer 395)
· wear skin tint, NOT foundation. Less is more.
· sublte white highlight on the inner corner (I recommend dior glow palette) DO NOT grab a white pencil and think it does the job. It doesn’t. It will make you look tacky.
· black or brown liner on the upper waterline
· blend your skin tint in with your hand, then go in bak with a damp beauty blender for a flawless finish
· for a natural eye lift effect, draw a line (with a skin coloured pencil) from your outer crease all the way to the temple & blend in a sculpted effect
lashes & brows
Facial harmony is important to the face, and your eyebrows need to work well with all of your face.
For face harmony ask the eyebrow tech this: the eyebrow arch of the eyebrow should be aligned with the upper orbital rim of your eye, reaching it’s highest point slightly lateral to the outer edge of the iris.
For the length the eyebrow should start at a point above the inner corner of the eye and end diagonally from the outer corner of the eye, extending slightly past it.
Also the thickness of the eyebrows should be balanced and in proportion to your facial features.
Ask to maintain thick eyebrows if you do and ask to get it if you don't. Thick eyebrows are good because thicker eyebrows are preferred for a more youthful appearance like you're still in your 20s. Think of an example as Brooke Shields.
Also the distance between the eyebrows should be approximately equal to the width of one eye.
Furthermore the overall shape of the eyebrows should complement your face natural contours, and tell them to take into account your facial structure and features.
Also, your tech needs to be well skilled and knowledgeable to even know these. So I highly recommend going to a very qualified professional in order to get your brows done. At the end of the day, it’s like you’re giving your beauty in their hands. You alternatively do it at home, remember to be precise.
· get fuller brows : brow serum, micro blading, brow pencil, etc.
· grow out your eyelashes with a mix of aloe vera & castor oil (apply as a serum) or use a lash serum (I recommend Latisse)
· dark brows & lashes are more attractive, in order to darken them here’s some advice :
solutions to darken brows & lashes
· brow tint & eyelash tint
· hybrid dye : lasts up to 7 weeks on the hairs & 10 days on the skin
· tint : lasts up to 4 weeks on the hairs & 3 days on the skin
· brow pommade & brow pencil
skin
· in order to achieve your perfect skin tone, eat more carotenoids.
what are carotenoids?
Carotenoids are yellow, orange & red organic pigments that are produced by plants and algae. Carotenoids give the characteristic color to pumpkins, carrots, corn, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, spinach, salmon, shrimp, kale, broccoli, cantaloupe, papaya, mangoes, oranges, bell peppers, watermelon, apricots, tangerines.
(In summary they are brightly colored fruits and vegetables)
So make sure to include these foods into your diet. If you want a shorter list of the foods that are the highest in carotenoids :
spinach, kale, corn, oranges, bell peppers, tomatoes, watermelon, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, broccoli, carrots.
· get custom spray tan
· get laser hair removal (don’t forget to shave before your appointment)
· smile line removal : volufiline
· for clear skin, STOP eating sugar & dairy
· drink CELERY JUICE everyday for glowing skin
· a rich moisturizer, spf & a good diet is all you need
· it is better to get a real tan, not fake tanner
· laser mole removal
· to prevent ageing, you should SPF every single day, never use tanning beds, never smoke, use a retinoid nightly, wash your makeup off & maintain a skincare routine
· stay hydrated: drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated help maintain healthy, hydrated & plump skin
lips
Brushing your lips with a toothbrush. Brushing lips with a toothbrush each day can temporarily increase lip fullness. The brushing may stimulate blood circulation in the lips, leading to temporary redness and slight swelling. This increased blood flow can create the appearance of fuller lips for a short period. Brushing the lips with a toothbrush can help exfoliate the surface layer of dead skin cells, promoting smoother and potentially plumper looking lips, removing the buildup of dead skin cells.
· lip liner (love the Charlotte Tilbury liner & MAC lip pencil)
· ombré lips effect
· keep them plump & glossy
· if you want to whiten your teeth I suggest you get professional teeth whitening or use whitening teeth strips (if you have sensitive teeth, make sure to buy the right kind because you risk damaging the area)
get rid of face fat & bloating
Bloating significantly impacts your appeal by concealing the underlying bone structure, which plays a crucial role in defining the contours of your face.
Without well-defined bone structure, your facial features appear less distinct & with a rounder appearance, and it becomes challenging to achieve the desired prominent cheek bone effect.
This is probably the simplest way to get the perfect jawline ; all you have to do is massage your face regularly. A good massage will boost blood circulation and tone your facial structure. Make sure to start massaging from the bottom to the top, to prevent sagging. In case you’re asking yourself if this really works, believe it does. Stay consistent.
Even though you will hear many people say that 5-6 hours of sleep is sufficient for them, it isn’t enough to look your best. Without 8-10 hours of sleep, your body will start looking tired, and your face will look bloated and fluffy. 
· avoid SALT & SUGAR & CARBS
Why? Because salt, sugar & carbohydrates each have distinct effects on your body that contribute to bloating. Refined carbohydrates, as well as excessive sugar intake (particularly added sugars that convert into glucose), can cause blood sugar spikes and subsequently lead to bloating. These substances, such as sugar (glucose), have the ability to draw water from your body or hinder its proper absorption.
· eat POTASSIUM (spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, bananas, avocados, spinach, tomatoes, watermelon)
· do intermittent fasting
· rub an ice cube on your skin in the morning, as ice tightens your skin and helps reduce puffiness.
· drink 3L of water daily
It is very important to prioritize the consumption of a substantial amount of water every day. Water plays a vital role in flushing out sodium from the body, effectively reducing sodium levels. Also, water intake helps regulate the body's water balance, preventing unnecessary water retention that can lead to facial bloating and puffiness.
· do face massages
· contour & bronze your cheeks
· mewing : smile with closed mouth and swallow, don’t force your tongue. It’s about keeping your tongue in the correct position at all times. There is also a bunch of videos on YouTube.
IN SUMMARY
· working out
· intermidate fasting and calorie deficit
· drink a ton of water
· try to eat less salt, sugar, carbs
· eat more potassium (bananas, potatoes...)
· rub an ice cube on your skin
hair
· Kerastase shampoo & conditioner and dyson for styling
· when doing a high ponytail or bun, don’t forget to slick back your baby hairs around your ears
· rinse your conditioner with cold water
(locks in the moisture, makes your hair look smooth, shiny & reduces frizz)
· use a scalp massager 5 minutes
(stimulates & exfoliates the scalp)
· do Aloe Vera hair masks
· use homemade rosemary oil
· microfibre towel - dries your hair x2 faster plus it is so much better than a regular towel! Why? Microfibre treats your hair with care to help prevent frizziness
· add coffee to your shampoo (stimulates and exfoliates the scalp). It’s a great alternative to scalp scrubs
· rice water rinse twice a week
body
The ideal waist to hip ratio backed by science is 0.6. The target 0.6 ratio is ideal and is genetic, so don't blame yourself if your natural physique doesn't fit it. Enhancing it to 0.6 requires hard work & surgery, implants if you're not naturally gifted. 0.6 is ideal and 0.7 is average. It's bone structure / genetic, if you're already slim and don't have 0.6 it's not your fault. You can only get the desired (0.6) by surgery or possibly by extreme diet if you don't have it genetically.
Our bodies as women influences the type of men we attract. You attract and get chased by higher quality, financially well and genetically attractive men. It's because slimness is associated with elegance, higher class and higher social status. It also signals good health and youthfulness and that you respect your body enough to keep it healthy.
Capture body images
Take photos from the front, side, and back angles, along with a face selfie. This step is crucial and can serve as a powerful source of inspiration in the future when you feel demotivated or lose interest.
Measure your weight
I strongly recommend stepping on the scale on day one, the day you genuinely embark on your weight loss journey. This will be another significant step as it helps establish your starting point and, as you make progress, serves as motivation to keep going.
Develop a plan
Whether your plan is to follow a diet (ketogenic diet & intermittent fasting), to get a gym membership or to buy a scale : reflect on your goals and determine what you want to achieve such as how much you want to lose weight. You need to make a plan that you can fully commit to. And get it done.
Portion control
Although what you eat does matter, its about how much of it you eat. You’re going to consume smaller portions of whatever food, but make sure your plate is smaller because it’s all about calorie deficit. Also try to limit snacking as such as you can, because it’s not a little bar that’s going to make you any fuller. For 15 minutes maybe, but at at what cost? Eat proper meals (in smaller plates). But if you really have trouble with restricting yourself to a smaller plate I advise you to eat foods that are voluminous but low in calories. For example one cookie (15g) is small & thin, filled with 150 calories. But on the other hand, 1 kg of lettuce is 150 calories. See the difference? Same calories but different amount.

Plant-Based Benefits and Tips!
A couple of lovely people asked for some elaboration on plant-based eating! I studied nutrition & dietetics in college before I dropped out so I'm not a professional in nutrition but I do have a broad understanding of the biochemistry behind what we eat.
This is kind of a long post, so continue under the cut!
Starting with the basics!
I aim for a more whole foods plant-based diet, which is essentially a low-fat diet that focuses on removing all animal products, limiting processed food, and minimizing oils.
Looking at micronutrients, both protein and carbs have about 4 calories per gram, but oil has 9 calories per gram. Low-fat diets are often easier to manage calories on, as you can fill up on a higher volume of protein and carbs (specifically fiber) to reach satiety, whereas processed/high-fat foods are higher in calories per serving, meaning you get less volume.
You DO need fat in your diet, but it's preferable to reach for nuts, seeds, avocados, etc. instead of oil, which is comparatively nutritionally void.
FIBER IS YOUR BESTIE. Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are low in calories meaning you can eat more of them, reaching satiety faster than you would with something processed. Fiber makes your digestive system happy. Be sure to incorporate more plants into your diet gradually so your digestive system can adjust.
Let's talk about animal products...
They are inflammatory by nature. If it comes from an animal, particularly red meat and ESPECIALLY processed meat, it will cause stomach issues in most people.
Fun fact, we are biologically closer to herbivores than carnivores. Our digestive tracts are much longer and our stomachs are less acidic than a carnivore's, meaning we are designed to most efficiently digest plant matter. Carnivores, on the other hand, have short digestive tracts and significantly more acidic stomachs for breaking down flesh and bone. This is why many people experience gastrointestinal discomfort when consuming meat. This leads to bloating, gas, and constipation. We are omnivores because we CAN consume animal products for survival, but it is nowhere near optimal.
Dairy is highly inflammatory and is directly linked to hormonal cancers (breast, prostate, etc.) It is also high in saturated fat, which is inflammatory. When we are born, we have the "gene" necessary to process breastmilk, but for many people, as we age, this "gene" gets switched off. Past infancy, we don't need milk (or other dairy products) because we can get our nutrients from other food sources. Black and Asian individuals have the highest rates of lactose intolerance. Not to mention, dairy is full of foreign bacteria, especially from factory farms, which causes an immune response in the body, leading to further inflammation.
Eggs are saturated fat and cholesterol bombs. They're high in protein, sure, but you can get protein and a wide variety of other nutrients from things like tofu.
To summarize, animal products are high in fat, high in cholesterol, high in calories, and cause inflammation, bloating, gas, and of course, constipation. Eating whole foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans/legumes, tofu, nuts, and seeds will boost your fiber intake, fill you with antioxidants, foster healthy gut bacteria, and reduce gastrointestinal issues.
Make sure you add more plants to your diet GRADUALLY. If you immediately go full force into eating plant-based, your stomach will experience distress due to the sudden increase in fiber, creating gas and bloating. But this will subside, and you'll feel better overall!
I highly recommend listening to seminars on YouTube by Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, and Linda Davis RD to learn more in depth about what I've talked about.
Extra tips:
An air fryer is going to change your life when it comes to cooking without oil and making stuff taste good and have a better texture! I use mine multiple times a day.
TOFU!!! I'm a soy addicts, and tofu is my favorite source of protein. There's so many ways to prepare it, too!
Berries are so nutrient dense and delicious-- nature's candy!
There's honestly nothing wrong with protein powder even though it's processed. Just be sure to opt for vegan protein powder so you aren't loading your body with whey.
Stevia is a godlike sweetener, imo.
Eat a wide variety of different plants to diversify your gut microbiome and to get a variety of vitamins and minerals!
Take care of yourselves :') 💚🌿 I may add to this post as more things pop in my head!
When I tell you it's so goddamn easy to do dishes when you don't cook with oil 😭
Don't drink alcohol... this is the most hypocritical thing I can say lmao but it will wreak havoc on your gut microbiome

The Sweet Health Benefits of Grapes 🍇 #grapes 
The Benefits of Regularly Consuming Grapes: A Sweet Path to Better Health Grapes are not only a delicious and refreshing snack but also a powerhouse of nutrition that offers numerous health benefits. Rich in vitamins C and K, grapes support immune function and promote healthy blood clotting. They are also packed with antioxidants, particularly resveratrol, which has been linked to heart health by helping to lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation. The high water content in grapes keeps you hydrated, while their natural sugars provide a quick energy boost, making them an ideal choice for a mid-day snack or post-workout treat. Regular consumption of grapes can contribute to improved overall health and may even lower the risk of chronic diseases. Please visit https://healthywaysandfitness.com for travel tips and guides.
 Incorporating grapes into your diet is easy and versatile, as they can be enjoyed fresh, dried as raisins, or added to salads, smoothies, and desserts. Their sweet flavor and satisfying crunch make them a favorite among both children and adults. Additionally, grapes contain dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy weight. The potential health benefits of grapes extend beyond physical health; they may also support cognitive function and promote healthy skin. By making grapes a regular part of your diet, you not only indulge in a tasty treat but also invest in your long-term health and well-being.

Why You Should Buy Organic Fruit: Protecting Your Family's Health and Wellness
As we become more aware of the impact our food choices have on our health and the environment, the decision to buy organic produce is becoming increasingly important. When it comes to fruit, opting for organic can have profound benefits for your family's health. Studies have shown that non-organic fruit can contain such high levels of toxic pesticides that the juice of a conventionally grown strawberry could theoretically be used as a pesticide spray on fields. This alarming fact underscores the importance of making informed choices when purchasing fruit.
The Dirty Dozen: What Are They and Why Buy Them Organically?
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) releases an annual list known as the "Dirty Dozen," which highlights the fruits and vegetables most contaminated by pesticides. These foods are tested for pesticide residue, and the Dirty Dozen consistently show the highest levels of contamination. For 2024, the Dirty Dozen includes:
Strawberries
Spinach
Kale, Collard, and Mustard Greens
Nectarines
Apples
Grapes
Bell and Hot Peppers
Cherries
Peaches
Pears
Celery
Tomatoes
Purchasing these items organically is crucial to minimizing your family's exposure to harmful chemicals. Pesticides have been linked to a range of health issues, including hormonal disruption, developmental problems in children, and an increased risk of certain cancers.
The Health Benefits of Organic Fruit
Reduced Pesticide Exposure: Organic fruit is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. This significantly reduces the risk of ingesting harmful chemicals that can negatively affect your health over time.
Nutrient Density: Some studies suggest that organic fruits contain higher levels of essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These nutrients are vital for maintaining good health and boosting your immune system.
Better Taste and Quality: Many people find that organic fruit tastes better than conventional fruit. Organic farming practices often focus on soil health and plant nutrition, leading to more flavorful and vibrant produce.
Environmental Benefits: Organic farming practices are designed to be sustainable and environmentally friendly. They help to preserve biodiversity, reduce pollution, and conserve water and soil quality.
Making the Switch: Tips for Shopping Organic
Start with the Dirty Dozen: If you're new to buying organic, begin by prioritizing the Dirty Dozen list. This will help you focus your budget on the fruits that most need to be bought organic.
Shop Seasonally: Buying seasonal produce can often be more affordable and fresher. Visit local farmers' markets where you can find organic fruits that are in season.
Use the Clean Fifteen: Complement your organic purchases with items from the "Clean Fifteen" list, which includes fruits and vegetables that typically have lower pesticide residues.
Grow Your Own: If you have the space, consider growing some of your own organic fruit. This can be a rewarding way to ensure your produce is fresh and free from pesticides.
Protecting Your Family's Health
As homemakers and caretakers, one of our primary roles is to protect and nurture our families. By choosing organic fruit, we reduce the risk of exposing our loved ones to toxic chemicals, support sustainable farming practices, and provide our families with the most nutritious options available. Small changes in our shopping habits can make a significant difference in our health and the health of our planet.
Making the shift to organic fruit is a step toward a healthier lifestyle and a cleaner environment. The next time you’re at the grocery store or farmers’ market, remember the impact your choices have. By investing in organic fruit, you're investing in your family's future and well-being.
Here's to healthier choices and a brighter, more vibrant life!
With health and happiness,
Kimberli Almonla

7 Good Habits American Women Are Embracing for a Healthier, Happier Life
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, American women are increasingly seeking ways to nurture their well-being, improve their quality of life, and find balance. Whether you’re a busy professional, a dedicated mom, or somewhere in between, adopting good habits can make a world of difference. Here are seven habits that American women are embracing to lead healthier, happier lives, along with valuable tips and examples from well-known women who exemplify these habits.
Tumblr media
1. Prioritizing Physical Fitness
Tip: Find a workout that you enjoy and can stick with consistently.
Gone are the days when exercise was just about looking good. Today, women are hitting the gym, yoga studio, and the great outdoors to feel good, reduce stress, and boost their overall health. From high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and strength training to more gentle forms of exercise like yoga and pilates, the options are endless. The key is finding something you love, so it doesn’t feel like a chore. Regular physical activity not only helps maintain a healthy weight but also enhances mental clarity and emotional stability.
Example: Serena Williams, a tennis champion, incorporates a mix of cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises into her routine, demonstrating the importance of a well-rounded fitness regimen.
Staying physically active is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. Many American women are incorporating regular exercise into their routines, even with busy schedules. One convenient option is the Himaly Mini Exercise Bike, which can be used under a desk for both arm and leg exercises.
Tumblr media
This portable exerciser is perfect for those who want to stay active while working from home or the office. Its adjustable resistance levels and LCD screen make tracking your progress easy. You can check out this handy device here.
Tumblr media
2. Eating Mindfully
Tip: Practice portion control and avoid distractions while eating to truly enjoy your meals.
In a world filled with fast food and convenience meals, more women are turning to mindful eating. This means savoring each bite, listening to your body’s hunger cues, and choosing nutritious foods that fuel your body. It’s about enjoying a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, while still allowing room for the occasional treat. Meal prepping and cooking at home are becoming popular as they offer control over ingredients and portion sizes, ensuring healthier choices.
Example: Michelle Obama, with her "Let's Move!" initiative, has advocated for healthy eating habits and balanced nutrition, emphasizing the importance of fresh, whole foods.
Helpful tool for those looking to maintain a healthy diet is the Momo & Nashi Keto Cheat Sheet Magnets Booklet. This magnetic cheat sheet provides an easy-to-follow food list and meal planning tool, perfect for anyone following a ketogenic diet.
Tumblr media
This guide is perfect for beginners and includes baking recipes and a comprehensive food list to simplify your keto journey. Find out more about this useful tool here.
Tumblr media
3. Getting Enough Sleep
Tip: Establish a consistent bedtime routine and create a sleep-friendly environment.
Sleep is often the first thing sacrificed in a busy schedule, but American women are increasingly recognizing its importance. A good night’s sleep (7-9 hours) is crucial for overall health, impacting everything from mood and cognitive function to weight management and immune health. Creating a bedtime routine, reducing screen time before bed, and ensuring a comfortable sleep environment are some strategies women are using to improve their sleep quality.
Example: Ariana Huffington, co-founder of The Huffington Post, has been a vocal advocate for the importance of sleep, even writing a book, "The Sleep Revolution," to share her insights.
For those seeking a better night's sleep, the Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows are an excellent choice. These down alternative pillows offer superior comfort and support for all sleeping positions, and their gel cooling technology ensures a cool and restful sleep.
Tumblr media
These pillows are hypoallergenic and designed to be resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew, making them a perfect addition to your bedroom. Learn more about these highly-rated pillows [here]
Tumblr media
4. Staying Hydrated
Tip: Carry a reusable water bottle and set reminders to drink water throughout the day.
Water is essential for life, yet it’s easy to forget to drink enough of it. Staying hydrated supports every system in the body, from skin health to digestion and energy levels. Many women are now carrying reusable water bottles, setting hydration goals, and infusing their water with fruits and herbs to make it more enjoyable. Adequate hydration can lead to clearer skin, better digestion, and enhanced overall vitality.
Example: Jennifer Aniston credits her glowing skin and overall well-being to staying well-hydrated, often mentioning the importance of drinking water throughout the day.
Tumblr media
5. Skincare as Self-Care
Tip: Use sunscreen daily and choose products that suit your skin type.
Skincare routines have evolved from basic cleansing to elaborate rituals that serve as a form of self-care. Women are investing time in understanding their skin types and needs, using products that protect and nourish their skin. This includes daily sunscreen application, moisturizing, and using serums that target specific concerns like aging or acne. Beyond the physical benefits, taking time for a skincare routine can be a moment of relaxation and self-love in a hectic day.
Example: Rihanna, through her Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin lines, emphasizes the importance of skincare and self-care, encouraging women to embrace their natural beauty.
Lastly, to achieve an even skin tone, many women are turning to the Beautzilla Moisturizing Intimate Area Dark Spot Corrector. This product offers instant results for knees, elbows, underarms, and thighs.
Tumblr media
This corrector is perfect for reducing dark spots and achieving smooth, even skin. Find out more about this effective product here.
Tumblr media
6. Focusing on Mental Health
Tip: Incorporate mindfulness practices into your daily routine, such as meditation or journaling.
Mental health is finally getting the attention it deserves. American women are prioritizing their mental well-being by engaging in activities that reduce stress and promote happiness. This can include practicing mindfulness and meditation, journaling, or seeking therapy. Breaking the stigma around mental health, women are more open to discussing their struggles and seeking help when needed. Building a strong support system of friends and family is also crucial in maintaining mental health.
Example: Oprah Winfrey has long been a proponent of mental health, advocating for meditation and mindfulness practices to maintain emotional balance and well-being.
For a comfortable and functional workout, the IUGA High Waist Yoga Pants with Pockets are a fantastic choice. These leggings provide tummy control and come with pockets for your essentials.

7. Continuous Learning and Personal Growth
Tip: Set aside time each week for personal development activities, such as reading or taking a course.
Personal growth and continuous learning are empowering habits that many women are adopting. Whether it’s reading books, taking online courses, or learning new skills, the pursuit of knowledge keeps the mind sharp and opens new opportunities. Engaging in hobbies and passions outside of work also adds a fulfilling dimension to life, helping women to grow personally and professionally.
Example: Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel Prize laureate, exemplifies the power of continuous learning and education, advocating for girls' education worldwide and pursuing her studies alongside her activism.
Conclusion
Adopting these seven habits can lead to a more balanced, fulfilling life. It’s not about perfection but about making small, consistent changes that improve overall well-being. By prioritizing physical fitness, mindful eating, adequate sleep, hydration, skincare, mental health, and continuous learning, American women are paving the way for a healthier, happier future. So why not take a step today to incorporate one of these habits into your routine? Your future self will thank you!

Boost Your Immunity: 10 Superfoods That Really Work
Welcome to Docare! As we navigate through the seasons, it’s vital to arm our immune system with all it needs to fight off illness

Dear doctor Bile,
I recently got my seasonals vaccines, since my planet has issues with epidemic and I happen to be quite vulnerable to the Grandfather's blessing. That said, the miracle of immunisation have wrecked havock on me, and left me feverish. Any tips on how to feel better?
Similarly, what if your personal recipe of chicken soup?
It is quite incredible that the Imperium cares enough about its citizens to provide them with the necessary vaccinations. But if it does - so much the better! This completely absurd belief of some lunatics that the immune system is a muscle that needs to be exercised by mindlessly exposing it to pathogens directly to the face has often made me doubt humanity - and its continued existence! No, attenuated pathogens administered as a vaccination to generate an immune defence is the way to go! Good for you!
Your body's reaction will vary from person to person and depends on all kinds of factors, such as your previous illnesses or your age. And if this reaction is a little stronger, that's good too.
The only thing that will help you in this case is rest. Allow your body to concentrate fully on learning about and combating this controlled threat. Of course, painkillers are a good thing. But depending on the type of vaccination, it is important to wait a few hours! Ask your doctor about this. I don't know your physiology and therefore won't give any medical advice! Anyone who is not your doctor should refrain from doing so.
Just the usual things: plenty of rest, preferably sleep. Light food. No drugs! I don't know if I need to say this as emphatically to everyone as I do to my brothers. But it can't hurt: No. Drugs. I mean it in all seriousness. Nothing. Not even alcohol! Not even weed! Nothing.
As for the soup … I've been off animal protein in most forms for a while now, as I struggle with various problems as my … condition progresses. I often have to deal with a number of things as my health starts to deteriorate, where plant based foods reduce inflammation. I recommend a mushroom-based soup. If you have a particularly good cook, it's a good idea to have them use the whole orc. The nutritional value can be incredible. About five gretchin are equivalent to one orc, but are worse in terms of macro nutritional values. If you only have gretchin to hand, you should add fresh vegetables.

Here are some tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle while sticking to your budget
Rising costs and high inflation continue to take a toll on Maritimers' wallets and their health.
According to Naturopathic Doctor Joyce Johnson, people don't have to spend a lot of money to optimize their health, even during these uncertain times.
Johnson provides a number of tips on how to maintain a healthier lifestyle while sticking to your budget.
MEAL PLANNING
Johnson says the best tool to eating healthy on a budget is meal planning.
"Meal planning is making a grocery list of what you need, what's on sale, there's a lot of really great apps that you can put onto your phone that show all the sale flyers. So, you can get a little bit of a comparison and you can find what are your best prices, especially on things like dairy, and meat and protein," she said during an interview with CTV Morning Live Atlantic Monday.
Johnson also suggests "shopping your pantry first."
"So, go to your pantry before you go to the grocery store. See what some of the basics are that you have on-hand, what potatoes and starches you have. Do you have pasta? Do you have rice? These types of things. Look at your proteins, look at what's sort of hiding in your [fridge] crisper," she said.
Johnson said it's also important to think about what leftovers can be turned into new meals.
PROTEIN REPLACEMENTS
The cost of certain meats are out of reach for some Maritimers. Johnson says there are lots of other options to make sure you are getting your fill of protein.
"When it comes to protein, for example, we know chicken breasts can be pretty expensive. Chicken thighs are still just as nutritious and they tend to be a little less expensive," she said. "They still have things like iron, zinc and protein in there. The same as flank steak compared to strip loin."
"You can get protein sources from eggs, also beans and lentils, and look to canned [items]. Canned tuna, canned salmon. These are other great sources."
INCORPORATE VITAMINS, SUPPLEMENTS
Johnson says taking vitamins and supplements can also help fill a gap in someone's nutritional intake.
As some can be quite expensive, she says Vitamin D and Omega-3 are the top two she would recommend.
"Vitamin D is pretty inexpensive when it comes to a vitamin. It has so many good important properties to it. Everything from bone building, it's that sunshine vitamin, it can be important for supporting your immune system, helping to boost moods even for people that are afflicted or affected by seasonal affected disorder," said Johnson.
"And Omega-3. So, this is one of those nutrients that the majority, a lot of people, are deficient in. They're not getting enough Omega-3 from their diet. So, you're looking at either a fish oil or a flax seed oil, if you're a vegan or vegetarian."
BETTER SLEEP SCHEDULE
Johnson says getting a good night's sleep is also important.
Some tips she provided to help include:
Take a hot bath before bed to help relax
Incorporate some deep abdominal breathing
Look for some guided sleep apps
Drop the phone time before bed
EXERCISE
Getting a form of exercise is also important when it comes to your health.
"Exercise doesn't have to be super expensive. It doesn't have to be a really expensive gym membership or classes," said Johnson. "Whatever works in your budget. Things that you could do at home, there are thousands of free videos, different types of classes, even pick up yourself something easy like resistant bands. You can use these for a full-body workout. You can train every part of your body with something as simple as this."
Johnson says there are also many different kinds of body weight exercises that cost nothing to achieve at home.
"I know sometimes the classes are a little bit extra motivation, but you know what, there's a lot of free trials that you can look into as well. There's options for you," she said.

Lactation 101: Everything You Need to Know About Breastfeeding
Welcome to Lactation 101, your comprehensive guide to the world of breastfeeding. Whether you're an expectant mother, a new mom, or simply curious about the topic, this article provides you with all the essential information you need to embark on a successful breastfeeding journey. From understanding the benefits of breastfeeding to practical tips for establishing a healthy breastfeeding routine, we've got you covered. So, let's dive into the wonderful world of lactation and unlock the knowledge you need to nourish and nurture your baby.
Tumblr media
The Beauty and Benefits of Breastfeeding:
Breastfeeding is not only a beautiful bonding experience but also offers an array of benefits for both mother and baby. Breast milk provides optimal nutrition, boosting your baby’s immune system and reducing the risk of illnesses. Additionally, it enhances the emotional bond between you and your child. Understanding these benefits will motivate and inspire you on your breastfeeding journey.
Preparing for Success: Antenatal Education and Support:
Preparing for breastfeeding during pregnancy along with pregnancy yogais essential for a smooth transition into motherhood. Attend breastfeeding classes and seek guidance from healthcare professionals to gain valuable knowledge and support. Connecting with lactation consultants or support groups can provide you with the assistance you need when challenges arise.
Latching and Positioning: The Key to Comfortable Feeding:
Proper latching and positioning are crucial for successful breastfeeding. Ensure your baby latches deeply onto the breast and find comfortable breastfeeding positions for both of you. Understanding the mechanics of latching and positioning will help ensure effective milk transfer, minimize discomfort, and promote a positive breastfeeding experience.
The Rhythm of Milk Production: Supply and Demand:
Breast milk production operates on a supply and demand basis. Your baby’s feeding cues stimulate milk production, so it’s important to respond to those cues and empty your breasts regularly. If concerns about milk supply arise, there are practical tips available to help maintain healthy milk production and meet your baby’s needs.
Common Challenges and Troubleshooting:
Breastfeeding may come with its fair share of challenges, but rest assured, most issues can be overcome with the right support. Sore nipples, engorgement, and mastitis are common challenges. Seek assistance from lactation consultants or healthcare professionals for troubleshooting and guidance. Remember, you’re not alone, and help is available to ensure a positive breastfeeding experience.
Nurturing Yourself: Self-Care for the Breastfeeding Mother:
As a breastfeeding mother, it’s crucial to prioritize self-care to maintain your physical and emotional well-being. Ensure you’re getting adequate nutrition, hydration, and rest. Seek emotional support from your partner, family, or support groups. By taking care of yourself, you’ll be better equipped to become your child nutritionist.
Pumping and Storing Breast Milk:
If you plan to pump breast milk or have occasional separations from your baby, understanding the basics of pumping and proper milk storage is essential. Research different types of pumps, learn pumping techniques, and follow safe storage guidelines to maintain the quality and safety of expressed breast milk.
Breastfeeding is a remarkable journey filled with love, nourishment, and countless benefits for both mother and baby. Equipping yourself with the knowledge shared in this Lactation 101 guide sets you on the path to a successful breastfeeding experience. Remember, every breastfeeding journey is unique, and it’s okay to seek support and guidance along the way. Trust your instincts, be patient with yourself and your baby, and embrace the joy and fulfillment that breastfeeding brings.

Meal Prepping 101
Tumblr media
Taking maximum credit loads, commuting, and working a part-time job can make eating a balanced diet seem impossible.
I mean, how many more responsibilities do you need?
But that’s the thing - eating a nutritious diet is the foundation to your success. It can give you the energy to study for exams and stay awake during three-hour seminars. And it may even grant you better grades.
Also, eating a balanced diet may improve your immune system, which results in fewer absences.
Yes, you’re not the only one snoozing in three-hour seminars. 
One way to guarantee that you’re eating nutrient-dense and filling meals is to practice meal prepping. Meal prepping is cooking multiple servings of a meal in a single day. For instance, you can make your lunches for Monday through Friday by cooking in bulk on Sunday. All you have to do is pop it in Tupperware and grab it before you go out the door.
Click here to see some examples of lunches that are easy to meal prep.
For most college students, this can seem like a daunting task.
“Where will I find the time to grocery shop?”
“What should I cook?”
“HOW do I cook?”
I’m here to reassure you that meal prepping is not as hard as it seems. Throughout my college career, I've been a commuter student who has taken maximum credit loads for every semester.
Meal prepping was the secret to staying organized and making the little time I had count.
There’s nothing like the reassurance of having your lunch ready and prepped next to you at all times. And- you’re in full control of what you are eating because we all know how easy stress eating is. Not to mention how hard it is to stop grabbing for the nearest salty snack.
If you’re unsure of how to begin meal prepping, let’s dive into how you can take care of your body by preparing your meals for the week! 
Basic Nutrition
The first step to meal prepping is deciding what you want to eat. I’m not a certified nutritionist, but I do have experience in eating for body function and performance since I am an athlete. These meal plans tend to be nutrient-dense and focused on eating whole foods.
What do I mean by whole foods? These are foods that usually don’t have a gigantic ingredient list listed on their packages. These include fruits, veggies, meat, beans, grains, and eggs.  
For example, I made sure to eat foods that would give me sustainable energy for my last Jiu-Jitsu tournament. My breakfast for the day was a sautee of quinoa, scrambled egg whites, and black beans. The combination of protein and carbohydrates kept me fueled through each of my fights.
Here’s the number #1 tip you should follow when grocery shopping: stick to the perimeter of the store. While following the perimeter of the store, you’ll find your veggies and fruits, the deli section and dairy.
But this is not to say that you won’t go down any aisles. There are a few “whole foods” scattered throughout the middle of the store such as beans and rice. 
The most important part of your meal plan and diet is BALANCE. Sure, you want to stick to whole foods mainly, but there’s nothing wrong with having Cheez-It’s as a snack every once in a while. Here’s a helpful grocery list you can follow if you want to meal prep your lunches:
- 2 types of fruits you enjoy 
- 2 vegetables you enjoy
- Chicken (or tofu if you don’t eat meat)
- Brown rice
- Black beans
- Yogurt (dairy or non-dairy, try to pick one with less added sugars)
- Almonds (omit if you’re allergic to nuts)
- Honey (substitute maple syrup)
- Dark chocolate
- 1 type of cracker/treat that you enjoy such as Doritos
Make sure to multiply this list based on how many days you’ll want lunch. Your meal prep can last however many days you want it to, but I usually cap it at five days. Here’s the meal you’re going to make:
- Brown rice bowl with chicken/tofu, beans, and veggies
- Side of yogurt parfait (yogurt, fruit, almonds, honey)
- Side of dark chocolate
- 1 treat *alternate every other day*
This list is just for lunches, but you can prep any meal of your choice. If you want to meal prep your breakfast, add these items to your list:
- Large eggs (white or brown)
- Egg whites
- Loaf of bread (whichever kind you prefer)
- Any spread you put on toast
There’s your breakfast! You can make 2 eggs + extra egg whites for added protein with toast.
And if you’re interested in meal prepping your whole day, all you have to do is choose a different dish than your lunch for dinner. Since every student has a different living situation, I’ll leave this up to you to decide. 
It’s important that when you go grocery shopping for your meal prep, you pick up any other items that you need such as laundry detergent or bottled water. This will save you time and stress throughout the week since your time is limited between classes to run to the store.
Budget
It’s easy to say what you need to get at the grocery store, but I know that not every student has adequate funds to purchase my entire grocery list. This doesn’t mean that you can't meal prep.
You can easily modify any grocery list to fit your needs. For instance, instead of getting two types of vegetables and fruit, you can only get one type of each. Or if raw chicken is too expensive, scour the frozen aisles for pre-cooked chicken tenders. They may not be the healthiest option, but they might be your only option at the moment. 
If you’re a student that works a part-time job, meal prepping will save you more money than you’d expect. Instead of picking up random fast food meals throughout the week or spending $20 for a coffee and a treat at Starbucks, your only large purchase for the week should be your groceries. 
For each paycheck, set aside $30-70 for your meal prepping. The more days you meal prep, the more you will spend. It’ll seem like a large amount at first glance, but $70 spread out over 5 days is $14 for multiple meal and snacks. 
How to Meal Prep
After following your budget and gathering your groceries, it’s time to start meal prepping. Let’s grab our Tupperware and get to work!
The whole concept of meal prepping is cooking your meals in one session. Most people like to meal prep on Sunday since that’s when they have the least amount of plans. Choose a day where you know you’ll have at least 2 hours free to cook. 
Here are a few tips to follow when preparing your meals:
- Empty the dishwasher and sink before you start
- Have multiple foods cooking at once (chicken on the stove, veggies in the oven, etc.)
- Always start with the food that takes the longest to cook (rice can take up to 45 minutes)
- Make sure to eat and get yourself in a good mood before cooking
- Clean as you go
With these tips, your meal-prepping session should go smoothly. Meal prepping is something that takes time to truly perform well. The more you do it, the better it gets.
It also may help to try meal prepping with a friend or roommate so that you can delegate and split tasks.
Don’t be discouraged if your first meals are poorly seasoned or cooked through. The only way to improve is to practice and stay consistent.
