  3. CRANBERRIES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT MEMBERS CONTROLLING YOUR DIURESIS AND HENCE MAINTAINING THE FUNCTIONING OF KIDNEYS
  4. ADD SERVING OF APPLES , BLUEBERRIES AND STRAWBERRIES IN YOUR ROUTINE DIET 
  5. MODERATE AMOUNT OF GREEN TEA IS ALSO BENEFICIAL
  6. KEEP AWAY FROM PACKED AND PROCESSED FOODS 
  • AVOID PAIN KILLER ABUSE - THEY KILL YOUR HEALTH NOT THE DISEASE [OVER-THE-COUNTER DRUGS ARE THE MAIN CULPRITS FOR ALL YOUR HEALTH RELATED ISSUES ]
  • DETOX RECIPE FOR KIDNEYS INCLUDE WATER, BERRIES, ALOE / CITRUS JUICES , LEMON AND APPLE CIDAR VINEGAR. THIS WILL HELP TO FLUSH OUT THE TOXINS AND OTHER UNWANTED SUBSTANCES FROM YOUR BODY.

DEBUNK WORKOUT STEREOTYPES FORGET ABOUT 70% DIET & 30% TRAINING ; IT'S 100% DIET, TRAINING AND PASSION AS WELL....NOTHING GREAT HAS EVER BEEN ACHIEVED BY PARTIAL EFFORT. ONCE YOU FEEL FIT, EXERCISE BECOMES AN ADDICTION.  PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IS NOT SYNONYMOUS TO EXERCISE. IF YOU ARE MOVING WHILE YOU ARE WORKING, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU NEED NOT WORKOUT. WORKING OUT MEANS TAKING OUT SPECIAL TIME DEDICATED TO YOUR OWN SELF AND YOUR BODY.    THERE ARE A LOTS OF MYTHS ABOUT WORKOUTS- ESPECIALLY CARDIO AND STRENGTH TRAINING. MOST OF US DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT EXACTLY THESE TERMS ARE. IN SIMPLE WORDS, CARDIO IS AN AEROBIC EXERCISE [UTILISES CARBS, PROTEIN AND FATS ]AND STRENGTH TRAINING IS ANAEROBIC [USES ONLY CARBS] - WHICH MEANS EXERCISE IS SCIENCE AND STRENGTH IS SKILL.   SPOT REDUCTION IS NEVER A GOAL - IT MEANS EVEN IF YOU DOING SQUATS AND YOUR BACK IS STRAIGHT, YOU ARE WORKING OUT THAT MUSCLE TOO. IT IMPLIES THAT YOUR POSTURE AND TECHNIQUE SHOULD...

AND YOUR WORDS SHAPE THEIR DESTINY.  FROM THE WOMB OF THE MOTHER TILL ADULTHOOD, THE CHILD IS INFLUENCED BY HIS PARENTS AS WELL AS THOSE WHO SURROUND HIM. IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT CHILD ACQUIRES HABITS AND TRAITS AS WE SHOW THEM. SCHOOL EDUCATION WILL NOT ESSENTIALLY HELP HIS PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT. IT'S THE PARENTING THAT PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN A CHILD'S LIFE. A CHILD IS A GREAT IMITATOR - WILL FOLLOW YOUR ACTIONS. SO IT'S BETTER FOR PARENTS TO PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH TO CHILD . IF YOU AREN'T GETTING UP EARLY IN MORNING, DON'T EXPECT YOUR CHILD TOO. AND IF YOU ARE SHORT TEMPERED, HOW CAN THE CHILD STAY CALM!!!  IF THE CHILD IS STUBBORN , IT MEANS ...
