Struggling with your weight loss goals? Do you toss and turn in bed wondering how to burn belly fat? What if we were to tell you that you can eat to burn that fat? Surprised? Do not be stupefied, yes, you can eat to burn fat. While you may think that crash dieting and denying yourself food is the only way to lose a few pounds, it is not so. On the contrary, eating smart is the way to burn fat. Today we give you a sneak peek into a list of Superfoods to burn belly fat. Read on to know more about Flat Belly Diet! We have all been there, wondering what to eat, and staring fondly at our favourite cookies stacked up in our kitchen closet, while knowing we are better off eating just some plain yogurt. They may both contribute the same number of calories, but sadly the cookies definitely do not fall into the category of stomach flattening foods. So what food makes their way into a flat belly diet? 7-super-foods-that-burn-belly-fat 1. Low-Fat Yogurt Helps to Lose Belly Fat Several nutrition reviews and nutritionists themselves will advocate for yogurt. This is simply because there is a very strong and established link between higher intake of calcium and how the body composition improves when the percentage of calcium intake increases. When the percentage of calcium dips in your body, it secretes certain hormones that make the best use of the calcium you have. However, this doesn’t help beat fat. The body is signaled to hold onto the fat in your belly! So, do not reduce your intake of milk and dairy products, as this will not help with weight loss. Consume at least 3 servings a day in order to slowly but steadily burn belly fat. 2. Oats and Barley – An Amazing Flat Belly Diet One of the foods that top the list of almost any flat belly diet is oats, closely followed by none other than barley. In a study conducted by the famed American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, those on a reduced calorie intake were asked to move to consuming whole grains and the results were stupefying. Not only did these people lose weight, but they lost considerable weight from their belly region! Rich in soluble fibre barley and oats are hands down some of the best flat belly diet, that mankind has ever known. 3. Almonds for Tummy Fat Loss These tiny nuts can aid in getting you one step closer to a flat stomach. They are rich in fibre and help you feel full and satiated for longer durations of time. Though they are a tad bit high in calories, they do not contribute to increasing belly fat. The next time you feel like snacking, steer clear from potato wafers, instead chomp on a handful of these nuts. 4. Lemon Juice for Stomach Fat Loss A glass of lemon juice can be just what you need if you are serious about losing all that belly fat. This is considered one of the most popular home remedies to lose belly fat fast. But try a variation of the lemon juice to accelerate weight loss. Ditch the cold glass, instead add a pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice to a glass of warm water, and gulp this down as soon as you wake up, each morning. This will boost your metabolism and help you get rid of that ghastly looking paunch. 5. Apples Help to Lose Belly Fat Fast Did you ever think that your favourite food can help you in losing weight around the abdomen. It is needless to say that a bloated feeling and look can be a great hit to your confidence. However, do not lose hope. “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away”. And this adage holds a lot of weights. Apples are rich in fibre and other nutrients, that will keep you full, and reduce the urge to binge while giving your body, the nutrients it needs. 6. Green Tea is Awesome for Tummy Fat Loss This tea has grown popular over the last few decades, and for good reason. Rich in antioxidants, you will not just be fighting cancer, but also will be losing considerable weight from your midsection, when you switch from coffee to green tea! Drink a cup of freshly brewed green tea with breakfast each morning. Coupled with a moderately intensive exercise regime, you will go flab to fab in barely a few weeks. 7. Avocados Can Do Wonders to Trim Your Belly Fat Who does not like a cup of this mushy and simply yummy fruit. But wait until we deliver the more good news! This fruit like an apple is loaded with nutrients and fibre that will keep you feeling full. What’s more? It also has mono saturated fatty acids that make it one of the best fat burning foods.

No, the iPhone 7 didn't explode like a Note 7, but the device allegedly gave a pregnant woman in Australia second degree burns after she fell asleep on her smartphone. There's a lesson here, folks, is that you shouldn't sleep and text, even if there's likely a very small risk for this to happen to you too. Melanie Tan Pelaez plugged in her iPhone 7 while she was watching movies and she fell to sleep, News.com.au reports. The next morning she woke up feeling pins and needles up and down her arm, which was red. Doctors told her that she suffered a second-degree burn from a foreign object, and instructed her to find the "object." At home, Tan Pelaez realized that her iPhone 7 had to have caused the injury. The markings on her hand matched the phone and the charger. Strangely, the phone itself did not explode and was not harmed in the process. Also, the bed did not catch fire. It's likely the handset overheated while charging, and heat did not dissipate as it regularly would on a device that's not covered by a body, or anything else for that matter. This is just a guess at this time, however. But it still quite a scare, especially in light of the whole exploding Galaxy Note 7 scandal. Apple is said to be investigating the matter. Tan Pelaez took the supposedly faulty phone in for a check up at a nearby Apple Store. She was told that the iPhone lacked a certain distinctive smell that would have proved the phone was at fault. Even so, Apple staff packed up the device and sent it to Cupertino for testing. They offered her a replacement iPhone 7 unit, but she refused to take it. Tan Pelaez doesn't trust the iPhone after the incident, even if she has been an iPhone user from day one. She's going to need plastic surgery to fix her arm, but her pregnancy is fine.

A study carried out by researchers from The University of Western Australia has found significant detrimental effects to the vascular system from smoking cannabis, including early ageing. The study discovered that long-term use of cannabis increased the biological age of those studied by 11 per cent, due to the impact of the hardening of arteries in those who used the drug. For example, a 30-year-old person would have a biological age of around 33 years old. It is well established that cannabis use has toxic effects on the brain, lungs, respiratory system and many parts of the reproductive system, and has been linked to a variety of cancers. However this is the first study to show that varied toxic effects are not just related to malfunction of organs, but are related to an acceleration of the ageing process. “We found that for those who used cannabis over a long time, not only does it age you, it increases ageing at an exponential rate over time which is alarming,” Professor Reece said. The Brisbane-based study compared 11 cannabis-only users, 504 tobacco users, 114 combination tobacco and cannabis smokers and 534 non-smokers over a five-year period. Those with known cardiovascular disease or acute exposure to alcohol, amphetamine, heroin or methadone were not part of the study. Associate Professor Stuart Reece, from UWA’s School of Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, said the results of the study suggested patients exposed to cannabis aged much faster than other groups in the study, including tobacco users. “We found that for those who used cannabis over a long time, not only does it age you, it increases ageing at an exponential rate over time which is alarming,” Professor Reece said. “The level of cannabis exposure in the group studied was much higher than we have seen reported before in other studies for developed nations.” Professor Reece said it was concerning that this was the first study to look at the long-term effects of smoking cannabis on the cardiovascular system and there were comparatively few studies across the world looking at its long-term effects. “It is important to the health of populations worldwide that such research be continued, with the study highlighting the large-scale costs to the health system from cannabis use,” he said Source: http://gabrielatanbiyi..com/2016/11/cannabis-users-age-faster-study-reveals.html

As we often report, several countries are pushing some impressive goals to transition their car fleet to electric. Now China is feeling the pressure to act because of its growing air pollution problem and the country looks likely to turn to a ZEV mandate to achieve its own goals for the transition to electric transport. The latest draft of the proposed legislation is pushing for a relatively aggressive mandate that is already causing some panic amongst automakers heavily investing in the country now that it has become the biggest car market in the worldThese new proposals are always useful to show the true face of carmakers. Most of them are claiming unprecedented commitments to electric vehicles, but when new legislations are put forward to encourage those supposed commitments, they lobby against them. We have witnessed it recently with strong lobbying against a possible strengthening of California’s ZEV mandate. The latest example comes from China where a new proposed ZEV mandate being considered by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology would see zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) represent 8% of new car sales as soon as 2018 and quickly ramp up to 12% by 2020. China has about 20 million new car sales per year. In comparison, Quebec is the latest market to adopt a ZEV mandate. The new mandated ZEV market shares, which are modelled after California’s mandate, are much slower to ramp: 3.4% in 2018, 6.9% in 2020 and 15.5% in 2025. German magazine Suddeutche Zeitung is reporting that German automakers are worried about the proposed rule and they are now counting on Economy Minister Gabriel’s visit to Beijing in order to clarify the situation. German automakers are relatively big producers of plug-in hybrids, but they manufacture very few all-electric vehicles. Under the latest draft of the proposed mandate in China, plug-in hybrids would get 2 credits while all-electric vehicles will get 4 credits. As the magazine reports, German automakers will be looking to know the threshold of all-electric range necessary to get the most credits possible. Otherwise, some of them could find it difficult to ramp up production in time. A similar situation arose in Hong Kong earlier this year when German officials plead with Hong Kong regulators to increase plug-in hybrid incentives in order for German automakers to compete with Tesla, which currently has about 80% market share of Hong Kong’s electric vehicle market. Hong Kong and mainland China are increasingly becoming important battlegrounds for electric automakers and we will be following closely a possible ZEV mandate, which could make the market even more interesting.

Food For The Eyes 1. Spinach Home-Remedies-To-Improve-Eyesight-7 Spinach is rich in not only vitamins A, B, C, E, and minerals such as iron and zinc, but also in lutein and zeaxanthin, the chemical components that help keep the eyes healthy. Eating spinach on a daily basis can prevent disorders like macular degeneration and cataract. Spinach also helps to keep the corneas healthy. Many people despise the way spinach tastes and smells. But you can surely get past the smell by adding a zing to spinach. Add raw spinach to your fruit smoothies or use spinach and parsley to make a green smoothie and consume it daily. The sweetness and flavor of luscious fruits like strawberries and currants camouflage the taste of spinach really well while maintaining its nutrient content. You can make a spinach soup or cook it with pulses. Sandwiches and lasagnas containing fresh spinach taste heavenly. So why not add a twist to spinach and include it in your diet for a sharper vision? 2. Carrots carrot-juice Carrots are a gorgeous and wholesome vegetable. They are so versatile and give a dish an amazing color. Apart from being scrumptious, carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, which later transforms into vitamin A, that enhances the general wellbeing of the eyes. You can find several recipes for carrot soup on the internet. Add it to the curries and pair it up with other veggies. You can derive maximum nourishment from raw carrots since the cooking process slightly deteriorates its nutritional profile. Munch on a carrot whenever you get an urge to snack or add it to your salads. But remember to drink lots of water, because carrots are high in fiber content. You can consume one cup of carrot and gooseberry juice on an empty stomach. Like carrots, gooseberries are rich sources of vitamin A and antioxidants. 3. Broccoli Broccoli is one of the super-foods with amazing health benefits. Including this food in your diet is another natural way to improve eyesight! Like spinach, broccoli too contains vitamin B, lutein, and zeaxanthin. These nutrients not only conserve vision, but also help improve it. Eating broccoli helps keep exhaustion, soreness, and blurred vision at bay. When the eyes are not subjected to a lot of stress, they perform better for longer. Broccoli promotes healthy eyesight by strengthening the eyes and reducing eye fatigue. Baked, grilled, sautéed or raw — broccoli tastes delicious. Toss in a floret or two in your salad, or puree it to make soup, you can incorporate the goodness of broccoli in your diet in numerous ways. 4. Fish Oily fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardine are packed with the healthy omega-3 fatty acids. These work like an antioxidant, protecting your eyes from damage caused by the free radicals in the body. The omega-3 fatty acids prevent dryness of the eyes that is generally caused by the use of contact lenses. Eat fish at least twice a week for a noticeable improvement in your vision within a few months. Baking or grilling is the best method of cooking these fish, which keeps its nutrient content intact. For a change, you can even make a sandwich by stuffing the grilled fish between two slices of wholegrain bread and some lettuce, mayo, and seasoning. Who can say no to a properly made tuna fish sandwich? 5. Avocado Avocado is yet another veggie that contains lutein and beta-carotene. It is loaded with vitamin B, C, and E as well. As I mentioned before, lutein works wonders for your eyes. It is a photochemical that brings down your eyes’ sensitivity towards light. This ultimately reduces the strain on the eyes and promotes healthy vision in the long run. Make some guacamole and enjoy the guilt-free dip with your favorite nachos. Or how about a luscious and creamy avocado soup? Regular consumption is the best way to improve eyesight. 6. Berries Berries are bursting with not only tangy flavors, but also with the goodness of abundant antioxidants. They contain a component named rhodopsin, which accelerates cellular regeneration that is vital for maintaining healthy eyes. The nutrients found in berries like blackberries, cranberries, and blueberries fortify the blood vessels and improve the blood circulation throughout the body, including the eyes. This also keeps swelling and irritation of eyes at bay and enhances the quality of your vision. 7. Nuts Home-Remedies-To-Improve-Eyesight-5 Like fish, nuts too contain omega-3 fatty acids that keep your eyesight on track. So, don’t shy away from gorging on a handful of almonds, walnuts or cashews. Avoid eating roasted or processed nut. Go for fresh and raw nuts instead. Simply soak almonds in hot water and peel off their skin. Add these almonds to one tablespoon of pure honey. Consume daily to improve weak eyesight. 8. Dry Fruits Home-Remedies-To-Improve-Eyesight-4 Image: Shutterstock Soak 15 raisins and two figs overnight in a bowl of water. Eat them on an empty stomach the next morning. The high amount of fiber and vitamins in these dry fruits help speed up the digestive processes and help the body get rid of toxins. This would thereby help to resolve eye-related problems. 9. Chocolates Chocolates, particularly the dark ones, are rich in flavonoid, a sort of antioxidant which is good for the retina and cornea. A piece of dark chocolate twice a week won’t hurt. So go ahead and indulge yourself in the sinful goodness of chocolate. 10. Eggs Eggs comprise of a lot of proteins. Proteins are the building blocks of our body. If you want the cellular regeneration process in your eyes to take place at a right pace, you need to supply your body with high-quality proteins. The egg yolk is surely a winner in this case. Why not crack up an egg or two and make a ‘sunny side up’ in a capsicum ring to make a funky breakfast?

If the experimental technology can be commercialized, it can become an important tool for reducing the impact of climate change. Researchers used simulated sunlight to power a solar cell that converts atmospheric carbon dioxide directly into syngas, a combination of hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide that can be burned for energy or converted into liquid fuels. (Photo: University of Illinois at Chicago/Jenny Fontaine) A new type of solar-powered technology has the potential to play a big role in the fight against climate change if its inventors can take it from the laboratory to industrial-scale use. On Thursday, a team of scientists announced in the journal Science that they have created a device that absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and uses sunlight to break it into a mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen called synthesis gas or “syngas,” that can be used directly or turned into diesel or other liquid fuels, said Amin Salehi-Khojin, a mechanical engineer at the University of Illinois at Chicago who leads the lab that conducted the research. The team aims to produce fuel at about $2 a gallon, he said, a price that would be cost-competitive with gasoline and, in his opinion, make drilling for oil or gas obsolete. Although burning such a transportation fuel would release the carbon back into the atmosphere, it could be considered a carbon-neutral energy source. That’s because that carbon would have been removed from the atmosphere to make the syngas, thus producing no new emissions. “This is a real artificial leaf, ” Salehi-Khojin said. Where plants use sunlight to power photosynthesis, absorbing CO2 and turning it into sugar for energy, “we use the energy from the sun, and by CO2 remediation, we store the energy of the sun in the chemical bonds” of the syngas. Ikea’s Next Plastic Chair Could Be Made From Our Air Pollution “The beauty of this work is it directly uses the energy of the sun. This doesn’t need any electricity or external energy,” said Mohammad Asadi, the study’s lead author and a researcher in Salehi-Khojin’s lab. So far the team has created a working prototype of the device on a small scale, using artificial sunlight and a direct source of CO2 to study and optimize the chemical process, said Salehi-Khojin, who said a provisional patent has been filed for the technology. The Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation funded the research. “In terms of the size of the setup, we have used 100 square centimeters of the catalyst,” Asadi said. “We need to make it bigger than this to take it to the industrial scale.” He envisions a “solar park” that would draw CO2 out of the atmosphere, as well as smaller installations attached to power plants and industrial facilities to capture their CO2 emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change considers this sort of innovation—sometimes called “negative emissions” or carbon capture and storage technology—crucial to averting extreme climate change. Under the Paris agreement signed this year, nations pledged to keep global temperature increases below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit). But the amount of carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere all but guarantees that temperatures will rise at least 1.5 degrees above historic norms in the coming century. Global temperatures are already about 0.9 degrees Celsius above those of preindustrial times. There are many efforts underway to expand carbon-neutral or negative emissions technologies, such as an Icelandic pilot project that is converting power plant emissions into stone. There’s even a Carbon X Prize competition under way, with a $20 million payoff for the winning team. But most of these projects focus on storing emissions from smokestacks rather than dealing with the carbon already in the atmosphere.

AGUBANZE:everything will be better my friend |
I must confess that only a few months ago I was amazed to learn that the simple act of sitting can be damaging to my health. Okay, you have to be sitting for a while, but not all day. This is something you need to know more about. One observer called sitting the new smoking and I actually used that as a header on a blog post. You can decide for yourself whether that is inflammatory or not. When the New York Times gets into the discussion, I think it’s time to find out more. for more healthy tips http://gabrielatanbiyi..com/2016/11/do-you-know-dangers-of-too-much-sitting.html

Middle-aged women may remember more than men, but memory fades as estrogen levels decline. In the battle of the sexes, women have long claimed that they can remember things better and longer than men can. A new study proves that middle-aged women outperform age-matched men on all memory measures, although memory does decline as women enter postmenopause. The study is being published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS). Memory loss, unfortunately, is a well-documented consequence of the aging process. Epidemiological estimates suggest that approximately 75% of older adults report memory-related problems. Women report increased forgetfulness and “brain fog” during the menopause transition. In addition, women are disproportionately at risk for memory impairment and dementia compared with men. Despite these conditions working against them, middle-aged women still outscore their similarly aged male counterparts on all memory measures, according to the study. The cross-sectional study of 212 men and women aged 45 to 55 years assessed episodic memory, executive function, semantic processing, and estimated verbal intelligence through cognitive testing. Associative memory and episodic verbal memory were assessed using a Face-Name Associative Memory Exam and Selective Reminding Test. In addition to comparing sex differences, the study also found that premenopausal and perimenopausal women outperformed postmenopausal women in a number of key memory areas. Declines in estradiol levels in postmenopausal women were specifically associated with lower rates of initial learning and retrieval of previously recalled information, while memory storage and consolidation were maintained.
