Choose Your Sweets Wisely

Can�t resist the candy bowl? There may be a way to control your sweet tooth without depriving yourself entirely: New research suggests that people eat less candy when it�s individually wrapped or served with tongs, according to a new series of studies appearing in the December issue of Appetite. In the studies, researchers asked participants to taste-test wrapped and unwrapped chocolates and dried fruit. In some scenarios, they were served with tongs, while in others, they were served without them. Interestingly, people ate nearly 30 percent less when they had to unwrap the food or use tongs
to serve themselves (the two different strategies didn�t differ significantly, say study authors).Researchers suspect that making food just a little more difficult to eat�by wrapping it up or using a utensil to serve it�might help you eat less (the more time you spend serving or unwrapping the food, the more time you have to consider whether you really want to eat it). That said, researchers won�t know whether this trick works on non-snack foods (or when you�re really, truly hungry, rather than mindlessly snacking) until more studies are done.In the meantime, satisfy your sweet tooth without overdoing it by purchasing individually-wrapped candies (luckily, they�re super easy to find this time of year!). Then, stick some tongs in your candy dish and pledge to keep your fingers out of the bowl. Or, put even more obstacles between you and the candy by storing the sweet stuff out of sight in a closed container. That way, you�ll have to open a cupboard and remove a lid to treat yourself.

Eye Health Tips in Urdu for Women

Health And Attraction Of Eyes:  Eyes are most Attracted part of our body.For a women eyes are the best assets, but eyes need some special care for getting attractive, beautiful and magnificent.

Your eyes are an important part of your health. You can do many things to keep them healthy and make sure you�re seeing your best. Follow these simple guidelines for maintaining

healthy eyes well into your golden years.

Have a comprehensive dilated eye exam. You might think your vision is fine or that your eyes are healthy, but visiting your eye care professional for a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only way to really be sure. When it comes to common vision problems, some people don�t realize they could see better with glasses or contact lenses. In addition, many common eye diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and age-related macular degeneration, often have no warning signs. A dilated eye exam is the only way to detect these diseases in their early stages.

During a comprehensive dilated eye exam, your eye care professional places drops in your eyes to dilate, or widen, the pupil to allow more light to enter the eye�the same way an open door lets more light into a dark room. This process enables your eye care professional to get a good look at the back of the eyes and examine them for any signs of damage or disease. Your eye care professional is the only one who can determine if your eyes are healthy and if you�re seeing your best.

Know your family�s eye health history. Talk to your family members about their eye health history. It�s important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with an eye disease or condition, since many are hereditary. This information will help to determine if you�re at higher risk for developing an eye disease or condition.

Eat right to protect your sight. You�ve heard that carrots are good for your eyes. But eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables�particularly dark leafy greens, such as spinach, kale, or collard greens�is important for keeping your eyes healthy, too.i Research has also shown there are eye health benefits from eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut.

Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing diabetes and other systemic conditions, which can lead to vision loss, such as diabetic eye disease or glaucoma. If you�re having trouble maintaining a healthy weight, talk to your doctor.

Wear protective eyewear. Wear protective eyewear when playing sports or doing activities around the home. Protective eyewear includes safety glasses and goggles, safety shields, and eye guards specially designed to provide the correct protection for the activity in which you�re engaged. Most protective eyewear lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is 10 times stronger than other plastics. Many eye care providers sell protective eyewear, as do some sporting goods stores.

Quit smoking or never start. Smoking is as bad for your eyes as it is for the rest of your body. Research has linked smoking to an increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, cataract, and optic nerve damage, all of which can lead to blindness.ii, iii

Be cool and wear your shades. Sunglasses are a great fashion accessory, but their most important job is to protect your eyes from the sun�s ultraviolet rays. When purchasing sunglasses, look for ones that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation.

Give your eyes a rest. If you spend a lot of time at the computer or focusing on any one thing, you sometimes forget to blink and your eyes can get fatigued. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds. This short exercise can help reduce eyestrain.
                                    

The Best 5 Winter Safety Tips for Kids

1: Be Ready to Play Inside 

No matter how well bundled a child is, and no matter how much that new sled wants a workout, children should not play outside during snowstorms. And even if there's no snow on the ground, there may be a point when it's just too cold to go outdoors. You don't want your child to run recklessly through the house, nor do you don't want him or her to sit in front of the television all day, munching on holiday candy. That's why it's important to have safe but active indoors activities on hand for the winter.

While it's always a good idea to have board games and art supplies on hand for those times when your family is snowed in, make an effort to think of ways that your children can safely move around when they can't get outside. Some ideas include playing dress-up, dance parties and beanbag tosses. Scavenger hunts and obstacle courses can be fun, too, as long as kids are limited to a defined, safe space. If it's safe to drive, take your kids to a local YMCA or indoor gym for fun and games.

2: Don't Mess with Fire

Once your kids come in from a long day of sledding and building snowmen, they'll probably want to relax in front of a hot fire, or at least enjoy some central heat. No matter how you heat your home, fires are a huge risk for families in the winter months. Before building a fire, install a smoke alarm on every floor of the home; you may also need acarbon monoxide detector, as this silent killer gives no warning of its presence.

If you use a fireplace, be sure that the screen is firmly attached, not free-standing, as a child could knock it over. You may want to install an extra fireplace gate if you have particularly adventurous tots on your hands, but regardless of how well-guarded the fireplace is, you should never leave a child unattended in a room where a fire is burning. Keep matches and lighters out of children's reach.

Thousands of fires each year are caused by space heaters. Don't let a child get too close to a space heater. In fact, don't let anything get too close to a space heater -- it should always be at least 3 feet (91 centimeters) away from particularly flammable things like curtains, bedding or furniture [source: Debrovner]. These devices should be turned off when you leave the room and when you go to sleep.

Even if you see yourself as the king or queen of fire safety, create a fire safety plan for your family and have fire drills for your children.

3: Be Careful with Those Sleds, Skis and Skates

4: Winter-proof a Child's Skin

5: Bundle Up

Sculpt a Lean Body Workout

 Get the enviable physique dancers are famous for with this body shaping workout. The best part: You'll barely move a muscle

The secret to scoring a dancer's trim and toned shape is to work your muscles less than you're used to. Yep, you read that right. Dancers practice concentrated movements that function as deep sculpting tools to create long, lean muscles. Those coveted results are what have inspired dance-infused fitness
programs such as Pure Barre, the total-body workout that combines Pilates, yoga, and dance to target the body areas all women struggle with�core, hips, butt, and arms.

"Pure Barre is an athletic approach to dance and Pilates," says Carrie Rezabek, CEO and founder of Pure Barre Technique. "It uses calculated isometric movements to work each muscle, then stretches the muscle back out to create long, lean lines�without the bulk."

Isometric exercise involves supporting a weight (in this case, your body weight) without moving your muscles�for example, holding a pushup in the lowered position. (That's different from most standard exercises�lunges, crunches, curls�in which you move your muscles through a full range of motion.) "Keeping your muscles in a fixed position increases the time they're under tension, which makes them stronger," says strength and conditioning specialist Mike Mejia, a personal trainer in Plainview, New York.

Dance-inspired moves are a great way to round out any workout. Here's why:

They're excuse-proof.
A closet-size apartment, no gym membership, or even a bum ankle is no reason to dodge these exercises. Because they don't require big movements or a single piece of equipment, they're perfect for small spaces. "And they also promote strength and endurance in muscles and joints that have a limited range of motion because of an injury," says Meg Lesniak, a trainer at The Sports Club/LA in Miami.

They'll make you lean but well-rounded.
Isometric exercises develop the kind of muscle fibers that are key for endurance and balance. Both are important to your overall fitness, making isometric training an ideal complement to workouts that develop speed and agility, like cardio intervals or plyometrics, Lesniak explains.

They make you flexible and injury resistant.
Ever wonder how dancers can bend, twist, and split their bodies�and then stay there? They practice isometric holds at insane angles. When a dancer holds her leg up, the main muscles recruit other, smaller muscle fibers that are often neglected in dynamic exercises. Strengthening these fibers gives them better range of motion, making them more flexible and less prone to injury. And you don't need to make like a pretzel to benefit. You'll become more Gumby-like from any of the moves in "Go Deep". 


Do the Workout
They may not look like much, but these moves promise big results. 

Don't be fooled by the tiny movements: While you may not be pumping iron like a power lifter, you will feel the burn during this workout. That's because Pure Barre uses small isometric movements to work each muscle to fatigue, then stretches it out to create long, firm muscle, says Carrie Rezabek, founder and CEO of Pure Barre. And you don't even need a barre to do the workout. As long as you have a support, like a chair or kitchen counter, and a stopwatch or clock, you're good to go. Your body weight does the rest.

Move 1 Wall Pushup

Stand facing a wall with your arms extended in front of you, shoulder-width apart, palms resting on the surface. Bring your legs together and rise up onto the balls of your feet (a). Bend your elbows until your chest nearly touches the wall (b). Push back to the starting position. Do this for 30 seconds. Then continue for another 30 seconds, this time using a smaller range of motion and a faster pace.

Move 2 Standing Turnout

Place your hands on your support, feet in a narrow V. Extend your right leg behind you (point your toe to five o'clock), lifting your foot off the floor. Slowly lift your leg up and down by an inch for 30 seconds. Repeat, smaller and faster, for 30 seconds. Next, make small circles�as if your toe were tracing a quarter�for 30 seconds, then reverse the circles for 30 seconds. Repeat the entire sequence with your left leg (toe pointing to seven o'clock).

Move 3 Scissor Curl

Lie on your back with shoulders and feet raised, right leg extended up, and hands behind knee. Slowly curl up and down by an inch for 30 seconds. Continue, smaller and faster, for 30 seconds. Next, bring your left arm up to your ear and curl for 30 seconds. Then reach your left arm toward your right ankle, curling for 30 seconds. Switch sides and repeat the sequence.
                                                         
                                                  Move 4 Parallel Extension
Stand next to your support, and extend your right leg in front of you, keeping your left knee slightly bent. Slowly lift and lower your raised leg by an inch for 30 seconds. Repeat, using a smaller, faster motion, for 30 seconds. Next, make small circles with your leg (as if your toe were tracing a quarter) for 30 seconds, then reverse the circles for 30 seconds. Switch legs and repeat the entire sequence.
                                   Move 5 Semi-Foldover

Place your forearms on your support and rest your head on your arms. Lift your right leg, foot flexed, and bring your heel toward your butt. Press your heel up and down by an inch for 30 seconds. Continue, only smaller and faster, for 30 seconds. Extend your leg and slowly lift up and down by an inch for 30 seconds. Continue, smaller and faster, for 30 seconds. Switch legs and repeat the entire sequence.
                                                                         Move 6 Curl

Sit with your knees bent, holding the backs of your thighs. Round your back and lower it toward the floor, contracting your core. Slowly curl down and up by an inch for 30 seconds. Then bring one arm up next to your ear and continue curling for 30 seconds. Switch arms and repeat. Finally, bring both arms to your ears and curl up and down for 30 seconds.

Move 7 High V

 Stand next to your support, feet in a narrow V. Rise onto the balls of your feet, keeping your heels glued together; bend your knees, bringing your butt down toward knee level. Slowly move down and up by an inch for 30 seconds. Repeat, smaller and faster, for another 30 seconds.

Move 8Wide Second

Stand next to the support, feet more than hip-width apart, toes turned out. Lower your body about six inches. Slowly move down and up by an inch for 30 seconds. Continue, smaller and faster, for 30 seconds. With knees bent, rise onto the balls of your feet, then lower your feet; continue for 30 seconds. Repeat, faster, for 30 seconds.

Your Best Cardioversion Workout: Cycling

Once upon a time, exercising wasn't a chore. Remember it? Back when you were a kid, hopping on a two-wheeler wasn't a way to burn off last night's ice cream cone�it was fun. Today, many women are rekindling that childhood love by pedaling to work, competing in races, or just tooling around town. They're finding that biking isn't just a welcome break from mind-numbing elliptical sessions: It's a surefire way to slim down and tone your tush�and look smokin' in those spandex shorts
"In the past five years, an unprecedented number of women's cycling clubs have cropped up throughout the country," says Rachael Lambert, women's product and marketing manager at Specialized Bicycle Components in Morgan Hill, California. Part of that surge may be due to a sour economy (a bike is cheaper than a car or a gym membership). Another factor is the popularity of triathlons: Women's participation has soared 700 percent (no, that's not a misprint!) in the past 10 years. Toss in the fact that biking is one of the most efficient and effective workouts�both on the open road and in a class�and it's easy to see why this fitness staple is gaining speed..

Cycling is no doubt good for your body, says Anne Lusk, Ph.D., a research associate at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. She studied more than 18,000 women over a period of 16 years and found that those who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than those who didn't ride. That's because even a casual ride delivers a one-two punch of cardio and muscle strengthening. A 135-pound woman can blast nearly 500 calories in an hour of cycling at a comfortable clip. And each pedal stroke works your entire lower body and your core, sculpting a tight body.

"I love getting women on bikes," says mountain-bike world champ Rebecca Rusch, who introduces women to the sport at her SRAM Gold Rusch Tour events. "They get the toned thighs, carved calves, and tight butt they want while doing an activity that's so freeing, fun, and social. They don't want to stop."

It's also a natural pick-me-up. Surveys in the Netherlands show that there is a huge amount of joy linked with riding, says Lusk. The carefree feeling you get from flying down a hill makes it hard not to smile. Not a road warrior? No worries. A study found that just 10 minutes of indoor cycling can improve your mood and energy level. You don't feel good just during your ride, either.

"Because it's a low-impact exercise, your hips and knees are strengthened, not stressed, so you feel better and less beat up after a ride compared with running," says Lusk. That makes it a lifelong activity. Make it one, and you may just have a few more years to enjoy it: On average, cyclists live two years longer than nonbikers and take 15 percent fewer sick days. 

A hotter, healthier body and a longer, happier life? Time to make your childhood sidekick your new best friend.

Get The most out of your cycling workout with these tips on proper cycling form and technique

You never forget how to ride a bike. But a few pointers can help you get more out of your workout. Olympian Alison Dunlap, who runs mountain-bike skills clinics in Utah and Colorado, offers these tips for elevating your ride to the next level.

Eyes On the Prize
Resist the urge to put your head down when you're going hard or getting
tired. It can slow your oxygen intake, tiring you out faster. (Not to mention it spells danger on the road.
Pedal Smoothly
Your goal: Cycle in fluid circles rather than jamming down on the pedals. With the ball of your foot on the pedal, push down, then pull your foot through the bottom of the stroke, then pull up and back around. Aim for about 90 rpm (to calculate rpm, count how many times your right knee comes up in 60 seconds). "A faster cadence works your cardiovascular system and doesn't tire your muscles as quickly as slower, low-gear pedaling does," says Dunlap. Your speed will naturally slow on hills and quicken on descents. In a cycling class, your instructor may call out specific rpms, and some studio bikes will give you a computerized readout. Though you don't need cycling shoes, they help transfer power into your pedals while keeping your feet from fatiguing.
Core Performance
While your legs are busy pumping, keep your upper body still�don't rock side to side, especially while climbing. Always maintain a flat back and keep your elbows bent and relaxed (it helps absorb shock when you hit a bump). Hold your arms in line with your body, not out to the side. Keeping your upper body relaxed will reduce strain on your lower back.
Get Up
Sitting is the most efficient way to ride--you can use up to 10 percent more energy when you're out of the saddle. But sometimes, like on a monster hill, you need extra power. When you stand, all of your body weight pushes down on the pedals, giving each stroke more oomph. If you stand, shift into a harder gear so your legs don't circle too quickly, rise up, and keep your butt over the seat.
Take a Seat
Your weight should feel evenly distributed, with 60 percent on the saddle (seat) and 40 percent on the handlebar. The saddle height should be positioned so there's a slight bend in your knee when your foot is at the bottom of a stroke. Most of all, you should be comfortable. Your best bet? Get a professional bike fit at a shop.
Stop Smart
Brake smoothly and evenly, lightly squeezing and releasing the brakes to control your speed rather than grabbing fistfuls at once," says Dunlap. About 75 percent of your stopping power comes from the front brake (left-hand side). But squeezing that one too hard can send you over the handlebar. Keep in mind that when you hit the brakes, your bike slows but your body keeps going forward, making it harder to steer. Shift your weight back to maintain better control.
