How To Get Rid of Side Fats?



Most women laugh off their side fats by calling them ‘love handles’ but deep inside they are as much annoyed by those love handles as their men. Even though they are extremely tough to get rid of, there is no reason you can’t lose them if you follow a correct exercise regimen. In fact most of the fat on the sides can be eliminated by targeting the oblique muscles. These are the muscles that are found on either side of your torso. A workout that involves these muscles will help in toning them. Read on to know some of the most effective exercises to get rid of side fats:

Oblique twists: This set of exercise involves twisting and turning of oblique muscles. Lie down on back and rest your feet straight on a chair. Ensure that your lower legs are exactly perpendicular to the floor while the knees are raised above your hips. Bring your hands gently behind your head and hold the position. Now start exhaling and lift your right elbow towards your left knee. Stretch yourself unless you start feeling the pressure in your side abs and the right hip area. Lower down your leg and repeat this with your left elbow and right knee before returning to your original position. Five sets in the beginning are more than enough and you can continue increasing the sets as your stamina builds up. 


  Side bends: Side bends work on your waist muscles and tone them. This exercise works well with almost 5 to 10 pounds of weight in your hands. Open your legs in shoulder’s width and stand straight. Keep your back straight and start bending towards your right while holding the weight. Try not to lose your balance and hold on to this position for more than two seconds. Repeat in the same way by bending towards your left. Remember to keep your knees straight while you bend. Avoid bending forward or backward as this won’t help your cause. Repeat in sets of five and go on increasing the number of sets as you get comfortable. 

  Side-lying oblique: This is a time and tested exercise and known to offer visible results. Lie on one of the sides on the floor. Line the legs on each other. Extend the lower arm for balance. Carefully lift the top arm and place the hand gently on the head’s back. Now gently lift the top leg and simultaneously try touching the elbow behind your head to the lift the knee. It is rather very difficult to touch the two but what really matters is the effort behind it. You can feel the mush at the waist while doing this exercise to kill the side fats. Concentrate to pull the abdominal muscles above the hips contracting thee left leg up. Repeat this set for five or seven times and then continue with the other side.


It is essential to start this workout under the guidance of a professional trainer or you might end up stretching up yourself. Then you can continue doing them on your own.

Megan’s 10th Birthday – A day to remember

Birthdays & anniversaries are always celebrated with fervor to make others feel how much you care & are concerned for about your loved ones. It expresses a feeling that he or she is very special to you & we do everything to make them feel happy.

I remember my sister Megan’s 10th birthday and my parents & I decided to pretend as if we all don’t remember her birthday. We all decided that mom, dad & I won’t be available on her birthday as every one of us is busy with our own personal work. To surprise Megan, we placed an online order for her birthday gift on From You Flowers store through coupondivvy.com which offers discount coupons.


We all know how highly enthusiastic children are to celebrate this day, my sister used to tell everyone a week ago that this extraordinary day is coming soon so be prepared with some exciting gifts.

But this time she was annoyed and went to bed early without talking much to anyone for entire day. It has became a tradition that entire family will be together throughout the day on anyone’s birthday or at least spend half of the day together.

Next day Megan heard a doorbell early morning and when she opened the door she found her favorite flowers, small chocolate basket & birthday card which brought a big SMILE on her face. It was one of the happiest moments of my life to see that look on her face. We all came out, gave big hug & wished her. Mom & dad gave her birthday gifts & spent entire day together. When we talk about our childhood days, she still recalls her 10th surprise birthday party.

Healthy & Nutritious Pet Food



Pets love eating no matter what they eat. You might have seen your pet running around on the streets, sniffing tons of road side things, maybe eating them too. This makes it pretty clear that when it comes to food, they are not concerned about whether the food is nutritious or healthy. It is our (the owner's) responsibility to provide with the best nutritious food possible.

Feeding Your Pet
Pet food available in the market is designed specially to fortify your pet’s bones and body while they grow. Different kinds of pets require different amount of vitamins & proteins which are present in these meals to help attain a healthier life. If you have a puppy, make sure you feed him at least 3 times a day according to the veterinarians. This is because, the digestion of puppies responds better to frequent meals.

Consult Friends, Family & Relatives
Always consult friends, family or relatives who have pets at their place for nutritious diet of your pet. Avoid selecting a pet food based on how popular it is. Many a times people are fascinated by attractive advertisements and end up buying pet food that have artificial coloring which harm your pets health.


Water at Regular Intervals
Make it a point that you are providing water to your pet at regular intervals, rather than leaving a bowl full of water the whole day. There is a chance of the water getting contaminated which might result in various health issues for your pet.

Check Ingredients before Purchase
Checking for ingredients before purchasing any pet food is a good practice. There are so many choices when it comes to choosing a natural brand pet food. You should always opt for those reliable companies who have been doing it the longest. If the food contains natural preservatives, never buy more than a month's supply.

Purchasing Pet Food with Discounts
You can even order all kinds of pet food online. There are dozens of coupon sites which exclusively provide coupons for all kinds of pet foods available. LavishCoupons.com is the website I count on for ordering food for my pet. The website frequently offers latest deals & discounts on top brands. I recommend checking this website to save good amount money.

Coupon Website For Huge Discounts



So you all know how we have been talking about careful shopping, not getting carried away with everything you like and instead becoming a smart shopper, the myths about shopping that cost you money, etc. While I was trying to save on my hosting subscription renewal yesterday, I stumbled across a rather unusual site that showed up for one of the search terms (I am not going to say what that was). This site called itself CouponCodeSeptember2013.com - gosh, was I surprised. How can someone actually have a site for a calendar month? Do they actually shut down the site after a month? I thought it might be some untrustworthy site but decided to check it out.


However, I was pleasantly surprised. The site was clean, loaded fast, did not throw any pop-ups and appeared simple. I explored the stores page and found out that they had thousands of store coupons listed there. Moreover, they had a nicely sorted list of 90% off coupons from several participating stores! Most deals had set expiry dates on them as well. I thought of going one step further. I tested one random deal for a store that I usually buy from. I used a coupon code from their page and it actually gave me a discount on my shopping cart.

While I was telling myself that it is great to see some useful coupon sites still out there (by useful I mean a site where a coupon code listed would actually work and give a discount); I still couldn't understand why couldn't they come up with a better name? Or maybe, they are trying to improve their visibility or traffic by "stuffing" the words in the domain name itself? If that is the case, it sounds pretty like a cheesy game to be playing.

Why Some Over-The-Counter Drugs Need Prescription Now?



Do you remember going to the drug store and asking for allergy and cold medicines like Advil Allergey, Sudafel Nasal Decongestant Tablets, Tylenol Flu NightTine Gelcaps? Once they were easily available over-the-counter? But after the Patriot of 2006, most of the drugs that were sold over-the-counter were now kept behind the counter. 

Wondering why? Because most of the drugs used to relieve nasal congestion contained pseudoephedrine. Yes it is the same ingredient that is used to make methamphetamine- a highly addictive stimulant. 

Confused as why was this Act brought into life? It was introduced to ensure that the methamphetamine was not produced in bulk and law enforcement became easier. The step was also taken as research shows that methamphetamine lead to serious side-effects like paranoia, violence, aggression, memory loss, brain damage and hallucinations. The Drug Enforcement Administration also reports that there is a direct relationship between increased number of child abuse and domestic violence cases with the use of methamphetamine.


 To tackle this situation some drug companies reformulated their products and eliminated pseudoephedrine whereas other companies replaced pseudoephedrine with phenylephrine to market the drug. 

So, next time when you need medicines to treat nasal congestion or sinus here are some tips on how to buy them:
    
1. You need prescription to buy these medicines.

2. You need to show your ID card like driver’s license and also sign a logbook. Drug stores must keep records about all the purchases made that include name of the drug, name of the buyer, address of the buyer and quantity purchased, date and time of sale of the drug. 

3. There is a limit to the quantity of buying this drug. One can only buy 3.6 grams per day and nine grams per month.


This information must have made you think that the government really cares for its citizens and concerned for their well-being. To provide better health care services many Government even offer healthcare apps where citizens can seek help from professionals and nutritionists if required.
