Health20 Effective Tips To Lose Belly Fat (backed By Science) by izuch(op): 3:28pm On May 15, 2018
Belly fat is more than just a nuisance that makes your clothes feel tight.

Fat inside the belly area is also termed visceral fat, and it is seriously harmful.

This type of fat is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes and heart disease, to name a few (1).

Many health organizations use BMI (body mass index) to classify weight and predict the risk of metabolic disease. However, this is misleading.

People with excess belly fat are at an increased risk, even if they look thin on the outside (2).

Although losing fat from this area can be difficult, there are several things you can do to reduce excess abdominal fat.

Here are 20 effective tips to lose belly fat, backed by scientific studies.

1. Eat Plenty of Soluble Fiber

Soluble fiber absorbs water and forms a gel that helps slow down food as it passes through your digestive system.

Studies show this type of fiber promotes weight loss by helping you feel full so you naturally eat less. It may also decrease the amount of calories your body absorbs from food (3, 4, 5).

What's more, soluble fiber may help fight belly fat. An observational study of over 1100 adults found that for every 10-gram increase in soluble fiber intake, belly fat gain decreased by 3.7% over a 5-year period (6).

Make an effort to consume high-fiber foods every day. Excellent sources of soluble fiber include flaxseeds, shirataki noodles, Brussels sprouts, avocados, legumes and blackberries.

2. Avoid Foods That Contain Trans Fats

Trans fats are created by pumping hydrogen into unsaturated fats such as soybean oil.

They're found in some margarines and spreads, and they're also added to some packaged foods.

These fats have been linked to inflammation, heart disease, insulin resistance and abdominal fat gain in observational and animal studies (7, 8, 9).

A 6-year study found that monkeys who ate a high-trans-fat diet gained 33% more abdominal fat than monkeys that ate a diet high in monounsaturated fat (10).

To help reduce belly fat and protect your health, read ingredient labels carefully and stay away from products that contain trans fats. These are often listed as "partially hydrogenated" fats.

3. Don't Drink Too Much Alcohol

Alcohol can have health benefits in small amounts, but it is seriously harmful if you drink too much.

Research suggests too much alcohol can also make you gain belly fat.

Observational studies link heavy alcohol consumption with significantly increased risk of central obesity — that is, excess fat storage around the waist (11, 12).

Cutting back on alcohol may help reduce your waist size. You don't need to give it up altogether if you enjoy it, but limiting the amount you drink in a single day can help.

In a study of more than 2000 people, those who drank alcohol daily but averaged less than one drink per day had less belly fat than those who drank less frequently but consumed more alcohol on the days they did drink (12).

4. Eat a High-Protein Diet

Protein is an extremely important nutrient for weight control.

High protein intake increases release of the fullness hormone PYY, which decreases appetite and promotes fullness. Protein also raises your metabolic rate and helps you retain muscle mass during weight loss (13, 14, 15).

Many observational studies show that people who eat more protein tend to have less abdominal fat than those who eat a lower-protein diet (16, 17, 18).

Be sure to include a good protein source at every meal, such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy, whey protein or nuts.

5. Reduce Your Stress Levels

Stress can make you gain belly fat by triggering the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, also known as the "stress hormone."

Research shows high cortisol levels increase appetite and drive abdominal fat storage (19, 20).

What's more, women who already have a large waist tend to produce more cortisol in response to stress. Increased cortisol further adds to fat gain around the middle (21).

To help reduce belly fat, engage in pleasurable activities that relieve stress. Practicing yoga or meditation can be effective methods.

6. Don't Eat a Lot of Sugary Foods

Sugar contains fructose, which has been linked to several chronic diseases when consumed in excess.

These include heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and fatty liver disease (22, 23, 24).

Observational studies show a relationship between high sugar intake and increased abdominal fat (25, 26).

It's important to realize that more than just refined sugar can lead to belly fat gain. Even "healthier" sugars (such as real honey) should be used sparingly.

7. Do Aerobic Exercise (Cardio)

Aerobic exercise (cardio) is an effective way to improve health and burn calories.

Studies also show it is one of the most effective forms of exercise for reducing belly fat. However, results are mixed regarding whether moderate-intensity or high-intensity exercise is more beneficial (27, 28, 29).

Regardless of intensity, how often and how much you exercise is important. One study found postmenopausal women lost more fat from all areas when they did aerobic exercise for 300 minutes per week versus 150 minutes per week (30).

8. Cut Back on Carbs, Especially Refined Carbs

Reducing carb intake can be very beneficial for losing fat, including abdominal fat.

Diets with under 50 grams of carbs per day cause belly fat loss in overweight people, those at risk of type 2 diabetes and women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (31, 32, 33).

You don't have to follow a strict low-carb diet. Some research suggests that simply replacing refined carbs with unprocessed starchy carbs may improve metabolic health and reduce belly fat (34, 35).

In the famous Framingham Heart Study, people with the highest consumption of whole grains were 17% less likely to have excess abdominal fat than those who consumed diets high in refined grains (36).

9. Replace Some of Your Cooking Fats With Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is one of the healthiest fats you can eat.

Studies show that the medium-chain fats in coconut oil may boost metabolism and decrease the amount of fat you store in response to high calorie intake (37, 38).

Controlled studies suggest it may also lead to abdominal fat loss.

In one study, obese men who took coconut oil daily for 12 weeks lost an average of 1.1 inch (2.86 cm) from their waists without intentionally changing their diets or exercise routines (39, 40).

To boost belly fat loss, it's best to take about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of coconut oil per day, which is the amount used in most of the studies reporting good results.

However, keep in mind that coconut oil is still high in calories. Instead of adding extra fat to your diet, replace some of the fats you are already eating with coconut oil.

10. Perform Resistance Training (Lift Weights)

Resistance training, also known as weight lifting or strength training, is important for preserving and gaining muscle mass.

Based on studies in people with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease, resistance training may also be beneficial for belly fat loss (41, 42).

In fact, one study in overweight teenagers showed that a combination of strength training and aerobic exercise led to the greatest decrease in visceral fat (43).

If you decide to start weight lifting, it is a good idea to get advice from a certified personal trainer.

11. Avoid Sugar-Sweetened Beverages

Sugar-sweetened beverages are loaded with liquid fructose, which can make you gain belly fat.

Studies show that sugary drinks lead to increased fat in the liver. One 10-week study showed significant abdominal fat gain in people who consumed beverages high in fructose (44, 45, 46).

Sugary beverages appear to be even worse than high-sugar foods. Because your brain doesn't process liquid calories the same way it does solid ones, you're likely to end up consuming too many calories later on and storing them as fat (47, 48).

To lose belly fat, it's best to completely avoid sugar-sweetened beverages such as soda, punch and sweet tea, as well as alcoholic mixers containing sugar.

12. Get Plenty of Restful Sleep

Sleep is important for many aspects of health, including your weight. Studies show that people who don't get enough sleep tend to gain more weight, which may include belly fat (49, 50).

A 16-year study of more than 68,000 women found those who slept less than 5 hours per night were significantly more likely to gain weight than those who slept 7 hours or more per night (51).

The condition known as sleep apnea, where breathing actually stops intermittently during the night, has also been linked to excess visceral fat (52).

In addition to sleeping at least 7 hours per night, make sure you're getting sufficient quality sleep.

If you suspect you may have sleep apnea or another sleep disorder, speak to a doctor and get treated.

13. Track Your Food Intake and Exercise

Many things can help you lose weight and belly fat, but consuming fewer calories than your body needs for weight maintenance is key (53).

Keeping a food diary or using an online food tracker or app can help you monitor your calorie intake. This strategy has been shown to be beneficial for weight loss (54, 55).

In addition, food-tracking tools help you see your intake of protein, carbs, fiber and micronutrients. Many also allow you to record your exercise and physical activity.

You can find 5 free apps/website to track nutrient and calorie intake on this page.

14. Eat Fatty Fish Every Week

Fatty fish are incredibly healthy.

They are rich in quality protein and omega-3 fats that protect you from disease (56, 57).

Some evidence also suggests that these omega-3 fats may help reduce visceral fat.

Studies in adults and children with fatty liver disease show fish oil supplements can significantly reduce liver and abdominal fat (58, 59, 60).

Aim to get 2-3 servings of fatty fish per week. Good choices include salmon, herring, sardines, mackerel and anchovies.

15. Stop Drinking Fruit Juice

Although fruit juice provides vitamins and minerals, it's just as high in sugar as soda and other sweetened beverages.

Drinking large amounts may carry the same risk for abdominal fat gain (61).

An 8-ounce (248-gram) serving of unsweetened apple juice contains 24 grams of sugar, half of which is fructose (62).

To help reduce excess belly fat, replace fruit juice with water, unsweetened iced tea or sparkling water with a wedge of lemon or lime.

16. Add Apple Cider Vinegar to Your Diet

Drinking apple cider vinegar has impressive health benefits, including lowering blood sugar levels (63).

It contains a compound called acetic acid, which has been shown to reduce abdominal fat storage in several animal studies (64, 65, 66).

In a controlled study of obese men, those who took 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar per day for 12 weeks lost half an inch (1.4 cm) from their waists (67).

Although no other human studies yet exist, taking 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar per day is safe for most people and may lead to modest fat loss.

17. Eat Probiotic Foods or Take a Probiotic Supplement

Probiotics are bacteria found in some foods and supplements. They have all sorts of health benefits, including improved gut health and enhanced immune function (68).

Researchers have found different types of bacteria play a role in weight regulation, and having the right balance can help with weight loss, including loss of belly fat.

Those shown to reduce belly fat include members of the Lactobacillus family. These include Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus amylovorus and especially Lactobacillus gasseri (69, 70, 71, 72).

Probiotic supplements typically contain several types of bacteria, so make sure you purchase one that provides one or more of these bacterial strains.

18. Try Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting has recently become very popular for weight loss.

It is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of eating and periods of fasting (73).

One popular method involves 24-hour fasts once or twice a week. Another involves fasting every day for 16 hours and eating all your food in an 8 hour period.

In a review of studies on intermittent fasting and alternate-day fasting, people experienced a 4–7% decrease in abdominal fat within a period of 6-24 weeks (74).

More details: How Intermittent Fasting Helps You Lose Weight and Belly Fat.

19. Drink Green Tea

Green tea is an exceptionally healthy beverage.

It contains caffeine and the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), both of which appear to boost metabolism (75, 76).

EGCG is a catechin, which several studies suggest may be effective for losing belly fat. The effect may be strengthened when green tea consumption is combined with exercise (77, 78, 79).

20. Change Your Lifestyle and Combine Different Methods

If you do just one of the items on this list, then it won't have a big effect on its own.

If you want good results, then you need to combine different methods that have been shown to be effective.

Interestingly, many of these are the same things we generally associate with healthy eating and an overall healthy lifestyle.

Therefore, changing your lifestyle for the long-term is the key to losing your belly fat and keeping it off.

When you have healthy habits and eat real food, fat loss tends to follow as a natural side effect.

How to show your man you love him? 10 Things you should be telling your partner besides just ‘I love you’

When you are in a long-term relationship, the words ‘I love you’ can become a little overused. You say ‘I love you’ so many times every day that, even though you may well mean it, the words lose some of their impact and meaning. When you sit down and really think about it, ‘I love you’ means so many different important things. Perhaps, we should be a bit more specific about expressing our love for our partners and tell them exactly what we mean. Don’t just assume that those three words can tell your partner how you truly feel, spell it out for them, with these ten things you should be telling your partner besides just ‘I love you’.

1. I love you more every day

Let your partner know that your love for them is growing on a daily basis and that, even though the honeymoon period may be long gone, that love has matured and grown deeper. Love does change over time, and people do change too. It’s always good to know that, despite those changes, the love that you have for each other remains as strong as it ever was.

2. What do you think of this idea?

Another tip on how to show your man you love him is to ask for his opinion. This one may not be as romantic as some of the things that you could say, but showing your partner that you value their opinion is still important. Asking for your partner for their thoughts on what you should do about a problem at work, or even which dress to buy, means that you trust his judgement and you care about what he thinks.

3. Boy am I glad to see you!

When you’ve had a bad day and you are really glad to be home, tell your partner how pleased you are that he is there for you. Tell him that, no matter what goes on outside of the relationship, you will always be glad to get home to him.

4. You look great

Don’t forget to compliment your partner sometimes, especially if he’s made an effort with his appearance for you; this is another tip on how to show your man you love him. Men have pride too, and they like to know that you think they look smart and attractive. Give him an ego boost occasionally and let him know that you do still notice how he looks.

5. I’m so proud of you

You should both be each other’s biggest fans, so let him know how proud you are of his achievements. Guys love doing things for their women, so that promotion he got at work was as much for you, as it was for him. Sharing your successes and victories, as well as sharing your problems, is all a part of what it means to love someone.

6. You are so hot!

It’s also important to tell someone you love that they can still turn you on. Sure, you see them every day, and sometimes you see when they are not at their best, but that’s no reason not to let them know that they still have what it takes in your eyes. Don’t take it for granted that he knows you still find him attractive, tell him, and show him.

7. I can’t imagine life without you

We all have our little insecurities, so make sure that your partner knows that he is still the only one for you. Tell him that you are not together just because you have to be, you are together because you want to be. It’s important for you to both know that neither of you wants to be with anyone else.

8. Let’s go out

Don’t let things get boring and fall into a rut. Going out on dates shows that you want to spend some quality time with your partner and that you do still enjoy their company. Forget about your favourite TV show, and show your partner that he is the priority in your life and that you want to go out and have some fun with him.

9. I missed you

If you go away on a business trip without him, then tell him that you missed him. This is a way of saying ‘I love you’ without even uttering the words. You can get very complacent in a long term relationship and, sometimes, it takes a little time apart to make you realise just how much you do love someone. Don’t keep that discovery yourself, share it with your partner, and let him know how much you missed him being around

10. Let me help you with that

It’s not just the romantic words and gestures that will show your partner that you love them, it’s also the things that you do for them. Offering to help him with a task, or listening to him when he has problems, is a way of showing him that you are happy to share his burdens with him and show him that he is not alone.

4. Baking soda

HealthThings That Happen To Your Body When You Eat A Banana by izuch(op): 8:48am On May 11, 2018
Bananas are one of the world’s most popular fruits, commonly available across the globe to eat on their own, sliced up and on top of cereal, in smoothies and many Indian dishes like sheera, kheer, and malpua. This natural “fast” food is not only convenient and easy to take on the go, when you eat one, you’ll be flooding your body with all sorts of important nutrients to support better health.

Originally grown around Malaysia, bananas made their way to India and eventually to the West, but it wasn’t until 1876 that they reached America’s shores. There are many types of bananas, which vary in size, color, and shape, though the most common types if the yellow banana, which is actually green before it ripens.

The average, medium-sized banana contains just 105 calories but is jam-packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, B6, C, potassium, magnesium, copper, manganese, a good amount of fiber and even a small amount of protein.

Here’s a look at just what happens to your body when you eat a humble banana.

1. You’ll Improve Your Digestive Health
The average banana contains about three grams of fiber. A ripe banana contains pectin fiber, while an unripe banana contains resistant starch. As dietary fiber is known to help improve digestion, when you eat a banana you’ll be supporting your digestive health. In addition to aiding digestion, the pectin in ripe bananas helps to eliminate heavy metals and toxins in the body.

The high amount of fiber in bananas also gives the fruit the ability to address problems like constipation by normalizing bowel motility. On the opposite end of the spectrum, they also soothe the digestive tract to aid in restoring lost electrolytes after a bout of diarrhea. Bananas are also considered to work as a potent natural antacid, offering relief from issues like heartburn and acid reflux.

2. You’ll be Able to Learn Smarter & Faster
Bananas are a great food for the brain. In fact, a wide array of research has suggested that consuming them might even make you smarter, thanks to some of its vitamins, minerals and amino acids which play a role in keeping the brain functioning at optimal levels.

This wonderful yellow fruit contains vitamin B6, a nutrient that’s important for cognitive function. Research out of Tufts University in Boston published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition including giving a series of cognitive tests to men aged 54 to 81, found that those who had a higher concentration of B6 in their bloodstream were able to perform better on two measures of memory, as compared with those who had lower levels of B6.

The magnesium in bananas plays a key role in brain functioning too. When your body metabolizes protein, it produces ammonia. Magnesium triggers an enzyme that transforms ammonia to urea so that the body can eliminate it. Even traces of brain ammonia can negatively impact the ability to focus and pay attention, which means consuming foods rich in magnesium can also help improve brain function, aiding in the facility of electrical activity between nerve cells.

Ever experience brain fatigue? It may be because your brain had a lack of fuel. Just like a car, it’s not going to run well without it. Cells in your brain use glucose for fuel, and as the brain can’t store it, it requires a continuous supply through the food you eat. If you consume foods like candy, pastries, sugary cereals and so on, the body quickly depletes those carbs, particularly from sucrose, which leaves you feeling sluggish. It also results in hunger pangs not all that long after you’ve eaten. But if you eat a banana, its fiber content helps to slow the breakdown and release of sugars, primarily from fructose, into the bloodstream. As your body is able to utilize fruit sugars more gradually than foods with refined sugars, when you eat a banana, you’re getting a steady stream of brain fuel.

3. Your Mood Will Be Lifted
Feeling blue? Eat a banana. It provides both tryptophan and tyrosine, amino acids in the body that are utilized for making the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, “feel-good” hormones that are known for their ability to regulate one’s mood. When your body gets an adequate amount of these amino acids, it can help you stay more focused and calm, while easing stress and feelings of anxiety at the same time.

4. You’ll Be Supporting Better Heart Health
Bananas are a superfood for the heart, thanks to their high level of potassium, a mineral considered essential for heart health, and particularly controlling blood pressure levels. Your body depends on potassium for many functions in the body, including keeping control of the electrical balance of your heart. Many studies have shown that following a potassium-rich diet can help to lower high blood pressure. In fact, those who get lots of potassium in their diet have been shown to have as much as a 27% lower risk of developing heart disease.

Arteries tend to stiffen as we age, and that rigidness is a significant risk factor for heart disease, which is something that, according to the CDC, kills roughly one in four Americans every year.

Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, conducted a study to determine if potassium might help keep the arteries more flexible. Mice that were engineered to be susceptible to heart disease were given minimal, average or large amounts of potassium. Scans of their hearts taken afterward found that the animals who were given the least amount of potassium, had stiffer aortas and harder arteries, as compared to those who were given more of the mineral. The experts say the results reveal a causative association between healthier arteries and potassium.

Additionally, foods high in fiber are also said to be good for the heart. Research out of the UK from the University of Leeds found that eating more fiber-rich foods like bananas, also helps to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease.

5. You’ll Be Improving Insulin Sensitivity
Insulin resistance is one of the major risk factors for type 2 diabetes, a serious disease that’s been skyrocketing across the globe in recent decades, rising from 180 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014, according to the World Health Organization. A number of studies have shown that consuming foods with resistant starch like bananas may help improve insulin sensitivity by as much as 50% in just four weeks. Of course, it’s unripe bananas, as mentioned, that contain resistant starch, so you may want to toss one in a smoothie to make it more palpable.

In addition to their resistant starch content, the fiber in bananas is especially important for those with diabetes as it helps to slow the absorption and digestion of carbohydrates. This, in turn, reduces blood sugar spikes and improves blood sugar control overall.

6. You’ll Improve Athletic Endurance & Ease Muscle Cramps During &/or Following a Workout
Bananas are considered by many to be the ideal food for athletes, mainly because of their mineral content and easily digested carbs. Eating a banana before a workout may help to decrease that exercise-related soreness and muscle cramps, which is a common problem for about 95% of the population.

At the same time, they’re great for fueling activity to improve endurance too. Bananas are famous for providing energy, something that occurs due to the combination of all those important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that work together to fuel the body, providing an instant hit of energy when you need it the most. As bananas are mostly carbohydrates, they also help power-up the muscles.

7. You’ll Start to Look Younger
Eat bananas regularly, and you may start to look younger too, as their benefits show up on the outside as well as inside. Rich in phytochemicals, antioxidants, and other nutrients, get in the habit of eating a banana a day, and you’ll be nourishing and revitalizing dryskin, and protecting it against free radicals that can lead to premature aging. If you suffer from acne, you may find that it clears up too, as the fruit is great for skin that’s acne prone, thanks to its zinc and lectin which battle against acne-causing bacteria.

8. You’ll Be Protecting Your Vision
While carrots get the spotlight when it comes to supporting healthy vision, bananas should share some of that praise due to their vitamin A content which is well-known for protecting the eyes. Vitamin A helps you to maintain normal vision and even see better at night.

9. You’ll Be Supporting Weight Loss
A medium banana, as previously mentioned, contains just 105 calories, and calorie for calorie, they offer a ton of fiber which can play an important role in weight loss. Consuming the fiber your body needs has been associated with a lower body weight in several studies, likely at least in part because that fiber will make you feel fuller for longer, resulting in fewer calories eaten overall.

FamilyDon’t Marry A Guy Who Has These 10 Habits by izuch(op): 8:40am On May 11, 2018
Imagine if you married a guy…but then realised he had bad habits that couldn’t be cured? In this article, Beauty and Tips takes a look at why you need to avoid guys with these 10 habits.

Prince Charming might have flaws, but he doesn’t have bad habits that can ruin a relationship. While it’s impossible to find the absolute perfect man (we’ve looked, he doesn’t exist) that doesn’t mean you should drop your standards and marry a guy who has annoyingly bad habits. For a man to be marriage material, he has to be completely the right man for you. Sure, he will still have flaws (don’t we all?), but flaws are different from habits. Habits are things we’ve learned to do over the years; they’re ingrained in our behaviour and we do them automatically. Not only can they annoy you, but it’s also practically impossible to get a man to change his ways. If a guy has some of the following 10 habits? He isn’t marriage material.

He’s Full Of Excuses

He can’t just give you a straight answer for why he let you down, and instead resorts to his Big Book Of Boyfriend Excuses. Each time he makes an excuse, he’s displaying his immaturity to you. Moreover, there is a good chance he’s lying. Excuses are the resort of children – and you want to marry a man, not a child.

He’s Narrow Minded

Guys who are narrow minded really frustrate us, don’t they? We just wish they would be more open to doing something other than watching sports all weekend, and we wish they would stop making snap, judgemental comments about people. Some guys can seem to be the most open-minded people about certain topics, but become closed off when it comes to other topics. And it’s really annoying because it can contaminate your relationship. For example, imagine you want to hang out with a guy friend you haven’t seen for a while. You know what this guy is all about, and you know what his “intentions” are – to hang out and catch up! Meanwhile, your partner mistrusts him, tells you all guys just want sex from you and won’t let you see him. If your man is still stuck in the 19th century with his close-minded views, he’s hardly worth marrying.

He Shouts

Any guy who has a habit of exploding with anger is a no-go as far as Beauty and Tips is concerned. If you’ve met a man who shouts, screams and verbally abuses people, stay well away from him.

He Breaks Promises

If your man casually breaks promises with you all the time, it isn’t a good sign. What this should tell you is that this is a bad habit he’s picked up down the years and is unlikely to change anytime soon. Broken promises are frustrating. If he breaks a promise early on in the relationship, it’s not a huge deal. But if he keeps doing it, you need to take this as the huge red flag that it is. In simple English, he’s disrespecting you and the relationship, and taking you for a fool. It’s a sign that he doesn’t care enough about you (or anyone for that matter) and probably won’t be changing in the foreseeable future. After all, he doesn’t seem to see it as a problem. But as the movies teach us, those who break their promises suck (it’s usually dad’s breaking their promises to their kids, and yes, they suck. And can you imagine what would happen if you guys had kids and he broke his promises to them, too?!)

He Lies

Breaking a promise is one thing, but if he brazenly lies to your face and you know it’s a clear lie, it’s a major warning sign that this is a guy you can’t trust. Lying is a bad habit that’s easy to get into and hard to get out of. If you’ve caught your man lying red-handed on more than one occasion, you’ll need to consider the very real possibility that he isn’t worth marrying.

He Doesn’t Put You First

If a man doesn’t put you first, you have to ask yourself the question – when will he put me first? The answer is probably never. Guys who don’t prioritise their women are instead in the habit of prioritising their buddies, their work or their hobbies. Love comes last, and if it’s always been this way in your relationship, there is a good chance that it won’t change.

He’s Possessive

It’s okay for someone to be a tad possessive at first. It’s even kinda cute. But you two have been together a while and he’s still being extra clingy, it’s a habit he’s probably not going to break. In fact, it probably means he’s a control freak. And that kind of man isn’t worth walking down the altar with.

He Likes To Win Arguments

If he gets a smug sense of satisfaction whenever he wins an argument between you guys and literally hates the fact that even once he could be wrong, it’s a bad habit that you should take as a red flag. No one in a relationship should go into an argument wanting to win. Instead, the goal should be a resolution that suits both parties. If your partner always has to be right? He isn’t worth your time.

He Won’t Take Responsibility

When we refuse to acknowledge our mistakes and take for responsibility for something that was OUR fault, we’re behaving like children. Worse still, we’re passing the blame onto someone else. Even worse, we’re not giving ourselves the chance to learn from our mistakes. If this sounds a lot like your man, he isn’t marriage material at this point.

He Has An Unhealthy Lifestyle

If he drinks and smokes too much while you’re trying to lead a healthier life, it’s a strong sign that you guys aren’t meant to be. Sure, he could cut down on his drinking and quit smoking. But if he’s tried in the past to no avail, it might be best if you avoid this kind of guy.

Stay happy!
