Water Plays A Vital Role In Weight Loss

Hi guys did you know that water play an important role in weight loss? Well I have done some research and below are some tips that will help you with your weight  loss goal.

These tips are for people who find it quite difficult to get in their eight glasses of water each day. Everybody should consume at least eight 8ounce glasses of water each day whether you are trying to lose weight or not. Below are some tips to help you accomplish your goal! Go here for more tips.
  1. Always carry a bottle of water in your bag or pocket book when traveling.  
  2. Have a glass of water at every transitional point of the day: when you first get up and before you leave the house.
  3. Drink 8 ounce of water at every hour of the day.
  4. If you are drinking any type of juice whether it’s (apple, grape, or orange) fill half the glass with water.
  5. Don’t throw away the 16-ounce plastic water bottles that you bought at the store keep it on your desk and keep sipping it until the bottle is empty.
  6. Drink an 8-ounce glass of water after every trip to the bathroom it will replenish your system.
  7. Drink an 8ounce glass of water before and after every meal.
  8. Instead of drinking a glass of sugary beverages drink some ice cold water, ice tea or a cup of coffee.
  9. Using a straw – you tend to take bigger gulps than a sip and you will get down much more than just a sip.
  10. When you are taking more than one tablet instead of taking them all at once take them one at a time that way you will take in enough water by the time you are done.
  11. If you are eating something that contains 10grams of fat, drink 20 ounce of water.
  12. Try drinking two glasses of ice cold water immediately when you get up in morning.
  13. Full a 2-liter bottle with water and don’t stop drinking until it’s empty that way you can keep track of how much water you get each day
  14. Remember your body won’t function properly if it doesn’t get enough water each day! And not to mention your weight loss goal!

The Healthiest Way To Cook Vegetables


The Healthiest Way To Cook Vegetables


Steaming vegetables is one of the healthiest ways to cook them. By using a minimal amount of water helps keep in the nutrient in the vegetables, rather than boiling them away. However, steaming alone produces vegetables that can be a bit on the plain side. But if you add a little oil and some seasonings and you’ll have vegetable that are exciting on their own and aren’t dependent on sauces.
Rather than using them and having to clean – a collapsible steaming basket or boiling vegetables in lots of water, which can leach out water-soluble nutrients and requires draining them in a colander (another item to wash), this technique uses a small amount of water and a little bit of oil to both steam and sauté the vegetables in a pan.
It’s perfectly suited for firm vegetables, which benefit from some added moisture to speed up their cooking process like:
                                                                                   
    Broccoli
    Cauliflower
    Asparagus
    Green beans
    Carrots
    Fennel
    Turnips

All those vegetables can be eaten raw and only need just two tablespoon of water or a tablespoon of oil to steam them. Steamed the vegetables in a covered pan until nearly tender, and then simply take the cover off so that the water can evaporate. The oil sauté the vegetables so they become fully tender and more intensely flavored.                                                              
  
Using the one pan technique, it’s easy to add seasonings and accompaniments that suit your fancy. Our Fennel with Raisins and Pine Nuts pairs the aromatic vegetable with its classic southern Italian partners. Cauliflower with Walnuts and Parmesan highlights the vegetable’s creamy, nutty flavor.


                                                          
           
For those who enjoy a little more complexity, try Spicy turnips with Jamaican Jerk Flavors or Carrots with Indian Spices. Simplicity, versatility, and flavor make steam sauté a win win-win technique.
