HOW TO EMBRACE YOUR CURVES.

-
Image
At one point in life or the other, we have all been self-conscious about how we look and how others perceive us. Hollywood has created this ridiculous stereotype that for you to be viewed as sexy, you have to fit a particular body type. I have started several workout programs after watching Beyoncé’ singing or watching a movie where the actress looked for ridiculously hot. Those programs did not last long because I was trying to look like someone else. Everybody is unique, just because you have curves does not mean you are unhealthy. I have been with people who I admire because they workout, they eat a healthy balanced diet but they also do not deny themselves that treat one’s in a while. They have curves, and they are proud of them because they are living a full, well-balanced life. Getting to the point where you accept yourself for who you are and live your best life is hard, but we are here to help with that. We came up with several tips to help you embrace your curves.

Flatten Your Tummy: Center Your Tummy and Waist

-

We all want a flat tummy and most of the time we work and work so hard on it and see no results at all. Well today i decided to branch out do some research on how getting a flat tummy works. That coupled with my experience on weight loss this is what I came up with I hope you find it helpful.
One thing I have not added to my list and I swear by is green tea, I know its too popular right now and most of you might think its hyped but it works. I drink about 4-6 cups of green tea a day no sugar. At first the taste will be a little off putting but keep to it, it gets better with time.

Other than that I have this five tips for you:

1. EAT MORE FIBER

the best way to loss weight whether it is your tummy waist or just general body weight is to reduce the number of calories you eat in a day and still be full, the best way to do this is to eat more fiber rich food. It is best in every way because you end up being full faster, consuming less calories and it helps in bowel movement so no bloating, but just like everything else do not overdo it you might end up being gassy.
Examples of fiber rich foods you can eat:

Chia seed


Which contain all the nine essential amino acids needed by the body necessary for muscle building and it also has a lot of potassium, calcium and phosphorous.

French beans, cooked




Lentils, cooked

















Chick peas














Black beans













Flax Seeds














Apple



What the doctors say is really true an apple day keeps the doctor away, here I will say an apple a day keeps the tummy away.










These are just but a few examples of fiber rich foods that you should include more in your diet not to mention vegetables that are super rich in vitamins.


2. QUIT SUGAR AND SODIUM


I know I know what you are going to say that without sugar or salt food is tasteless, but sugar has not nutritional value so it is basically just empty calories while salts helps your body retain water which leads to bloating and puff flat tummy gone.
Do not worry thou I am not leaving you out their solo their are great substitutes to sodium and sugar. Try to get as much natural sugars as possible from fruits around you, but if you need added sugar you can use stevia or saccharin which has low caloric count. On salt front you can use sea salt or spices like garlic, onion and pepper, also natural herbs bring great flavor to food.


3. DRINK LOTS OF WATER


I know a lot of people say this but drinking water helps with weight loss process and here are some of the reasons how:
  • Makes you feel full.
  • Increases metabolism by boosting caloric burn.
  • Helps heed hunger cues.
  • Helps clean up your kidneys.
  • Drinking before eating helps you get full faster.
So make sure you load up in about 8 glasses of water a day, trust me it helps.





4. GET YOUR HEART RATE UP

I am not suggesting you go for a sprint or join the marathon today, thou you should do this some day when you are fit, start slow but not too slow you do not feel some impact. 
Go take a thirty minute walk sometime it will improve your mood and increase your heart rate. Increase the time you walk daily until you start jogging lightly and before you know it you will be Usain Bolt.
If you are a seasoned athlete go for a jog at least five times a week or do the HIT workouts, these are great for the whole body.

5. TUCK THAT TUMMY IN AND SIT LIKE YOU ARE ROYALTY

This basically means that you should sit up tall on your chair, tighten your belly, straighten your spine and place your feel flat on the floor. Slouching on your seat pushes your tummy out and weakens your spine which affects your abs. Hey you are royalty, seat up and be proud it will help not only to show your confidence but also your tummy.











That is all I have for you today do not forget to click subscribe for new tips everyday.

COME TO WORK WITH ME: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS I TOOK AGAINST COVID-19

Excitement fills each pore in my body as I get out of bed, another great day that the Lord has granted me. As usual, I wake at six o’clock and prepare to head to work. It is not a normal day like I am used to; even as I leave my house today I have to be careful. I have to stay on alert and take care of myself. With the corona virus spread around the world, finally, it has made its way into Kenya. I appreciate the government for taking very swift measures and encouraging those who can work from home to do so. Unfortunately, I fall into the category of people who cannot work from home. Even though I do not live hand to mouth where I depend on everyday wages, my job involves a lot of physical work where I have to be present and the inventory is too large and equipment too expensive to carry home. I appreciate my employer for considering my safety and dividing the number of people who have to report to work into three groups of seven people to reduce congestion and

DEAR PRECIOUS YOU - WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT DURING COVID-19 [SIMPLEHAPPYSELF]

I do not know about you but deep down I am scared. I am scared about what will happen to me, I am scared for my family, I am scared for my job security, I am scared for my country and most important of all I am scared for the whole human population. The Covid-19 came to us like a thief in the night, no warning, no time to prepare. One day we were fine and going about our businesses, a few weeks or months later everything changed. The bridges that we formed as a society were crossed. Nobody was safe anymore. Rich or poor. White or black. Babies or the young or the elderly Man or woman. Africa or the USA. We are all affected. Jobs closed. Countries locked down. Gatherings whether happy or sad shutdown. Churches, schools and places of worship are closed. At this moment, nobody knows what is going to happen to the world. We are all at the edge of our seats, waiting with baited breathe for it to blow over. I would love to wake up tomorrow and find
