Juicing For Weight loss


Juicing for weight loss has been proven to be a safe and effective way of shedding off some weight. Since weight gain is caused mainly by taking in more calories than we can burn, then for us to lose weight we need to get rid of the excess calories and to only consume the required amount of calories. This could be quite a challenge when health is put into consideration and that is why juicing comes in very handy for you.
What does "Juicing for weightloss" mean?
Juicing for weight loss is simply taking in nutrients into your body in form of juices made from natural vegetables and fruits that contain the necessary calories and nutrients essential for normal functioning of the body. Basically you can choose from a wide range of fruits and vegetables but you should make sure you are taking in enough nutrients. The juice can be made using a juicing machine or a blender. You may also improvise your own ways of extracting the juice if you don’t have either of the two.
Tips while making your weightloss juice:
  • When extracting juice it is important to return back some of the pulp you left while extracting juice from the fruits so that you can have some fiber in your body. 
  • You should also observe hygiene and good preservation of the juice. 
  • The best juice would be the one you make and take on the same day. 
  • You should only use fresh fruits and vegetables. Vegetable juice should be extracted from raw vegetables. 
  • The rate at which you juice will highly depend on your weight and how much you need to loose. Sometimes it would be important to consult with your doctor first and get advice on how much weight you can lose without causing harm to your body.

What to use to make weightloss juice:
  • Some of the popular and delicious juices come from fruits such as:pineapples, oranges, passion fruits, lemon and mangoes. 
  • Vegetables such as beet root, spinach, red cabbage and carrots are also very advisable. 
  • A combination of any of the above fruits and vegetables will work well for most people. You can actually blend all for a juice rich in nutrients. 
  • Other fruits can also be used depending on your tastes and preferences. 
  • Most green leafy vegetables are nutrient rich. 
  • You might want to avoid sweeteners and artificial sugars in your juice since they contain a lot of calories.  

How to juice effectively and lose weight
  1. Taking alcohol and processed fats after juicing will also render all your weight-loss efforts useless.
  2. Besides taking juices, you should make sure that you keep your body active and do some exercise as well. Sweating is a great sign that you have kept your body active. 
  3. You will also need to drink a lot of water.Taking in water is the best way to remove toxins from your body and to keep yourself feeling fresh and relaxed.

How To Choose The Right Heel For A Healthy Posture

Shoes are one thing in a lady's life that cannot be ignored. Any lady would part with as much money they can just to have a unique eye catching shoe that will make her presence known to all along the streets.Feeling great in shoes is no offence in any way and should be a culture that is embraced by all women but the most important question we should ask ourselves is: To What Extent Can my love for shoes take me?

Some shoes will take you to hospital while others will keep you always on the move.


Heels and posture
Some heels tamper with your posture and interfere with your spinal cord which in turn affects your back.The effects of uncomfortable heels is not felt immediately .It is felt after a prolonged period of walking in heels continuously without changing to something flat and that calls for you to be sensitive about any pain on your  body.You should never overlook  any pain on your back or feet if you have the habit of wearing heels  and walking all day in them because this can cause you hospitalisation or land you in clutches for support. The less serious is having to stop wearing heels and having to wear belts to support your back.
Pick just the comfortable Heels.
How do You Know you are walking in the right posture?
  • Whenever you are walking make sure that your ear is directly above your shoulder so that you are not slumping forward or backward
  • Ensure that your leg is not stretched too at your heel and that you are not straining to walk.
  • The heel should automatically balance you so you should not struggle to balance
