Do you want to burn some of your belly fat? Try breathing differently. If you stand up, tighten your buttocks, breathe in for three seconds while sucking in your midsection

and then breathe out for seven seconds while still sucking in your abdomen, it will direct more energy into that area of the body and burn more fat.

Something as simple as learning how to read your food labels properly can be a real game changer. 

Here are a few tips. Whatever is first on the list? That’s what the

product contains the most of. Make sure you know what it is (if you can’t pronounce it, you might not). Any product that has grains in them? Don’t buy them

unless they contain three grams or more.

Don’t stress too much over high-calorie counts if the food also contains plenty of nutrients. As for sugar, the amount you see is not

as important as the kind. If the label lists corn syrup or sweetener or sugar is the first or second ingredient, rethink buying it. Both can do a number

on your system. 

We’ll be floored if you knew about this one. Apparently some researchers discovered that the public bathroom stall that’s closest to the entryway not only has the least amount of

bacteria levels, but usually the most toilet paper too. 

Why? The theory is that a lot of people avoid that door because they want to be around as few people as

possible, for privacy’s sake. The neglected stall appears to be the much healthier one. Give it a try.

If you want a tea that will help you and your family’s immune system, invest in some thyme. It contains antimicrobials to fight a sore throat, carvacrols to enhance your

moods and even is attributed to lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well as helping to prevent food poisoning from occurring. 

One of the best times of year to

drink warm thyme tea is during the summer. It might sound crazy, but studies indicate that drinking warm tea can alter your body’s temperature and increase sweat production. The more your

sweat, the cooler you’ll feel.

If you or especially your child has a high fever, one way to break it quicker is to place an ice pack underneath your arm. The theory is that since

that’s one place in the body where there’s a large supply of blood, by placing the pack there, it can alter your body’s blood temperature and break the fever quicker.

Warts really are the worst. Something that you can do to speed up the process of getting rid of one is to put a piece of duct tape on it.

No joke. When it’s on the wart, the duct tape irritates the skin and triggers your immune system to attack the virus causing the wart. As a result, you have

a lot less time with the wart lingering on your body.

Baking soda has the amazing ability to balance out the pH levels in the body. Know what else it can do? Help to relieve the symptoms of a urinary tract

infection (UTI). Because baking soda also has the ability to make the environment in your bladder more alkaline, that can keep the bacteria that’s causing the infection from multiplying. 

Simply put

a teaspoon of baking soda in warm water and drink it. Then repeat 10 hours later. Do take note that you shouldn’t drink more than that (too much baking soda

can be hard on your system) and it should never replace a doctor’s appointment. UTIs need a professional assessment before trying anything at home.

If you love the color red, try wearing it more often. Not only will it increase your energy levels, but red also gives you more willpower, determination and can strengthen

your leadership skills too. 

Red is also a proven libido booster, so at the very least, consider putting on some red lingerie. It could be just what you need to make

the evening go just right once you get home.
