⭐ ⭐ No More Myths ⭐ ⭐

Carbohydrates are your body's main source of energy. Carbs help to fuel your body organs and systems.

Most importantly, fiber is a carbohydrate that aids in digestion, helps you feel full and keeps blood cholesterol levels in check.

Carbs also contain a good amount of many vitamins and minerals as well as essential amino acids.

Most important tips to lose weight are portion control and calorie deficit.

You don't need to stop eating carbs and even if you do that but don't go for calorie deficit, it will definately not help you to reduce your weight.

Wrapping food in newspapers or any kind of printed or hand written paper with ink used on it is an unhealthy practice and the consumption of such food is injurious to health, even if the food has been cooked hygienically.

Printing inks may also contain harmful colours, pigments, binders, additives, and preservatives. Besides chemical contaminants, the presence of pathogenic micro organisms in used newspapers also poses a potential risk to human health.

Even paper/cardboard boxes made of recycled paper may be contaminated with harmful chemicals like phthalate which can cause digestive problems and also lead to severe toxicity.

Older people, teenagers, children and people with compromised vital organs and immune systems are at a greater risk of acquiring cancer-related health complications if they are exposed to food packed in such material.

1. Use a smaller plate

A standard-sized portion will look small on a larger plate, making you feel dissatisfied. Use a smaller plate to prevent overloading.

2. Don’t double your carbs

If you already have some starchy carbohydrate with your meal, do you need bread, naan or chapatis as well? You could be doubling your portion, so if you like to have some bread on the side, you’ll need to cut down the amount of starchy carbohydrate on your plate accordingly.

3. Give measuring cups a go

Finding it difficult to gauge the right amount to eat? Try using measuring cups. You don’t need to have special cups, though; you could use any teacups, mugs or containers that work for you. It’s just a simple way of measuring the amount for you every time.

4. Be selective with your seconds

Finish your meal with fruit rather than chocolate cake. An apple will help to fill you up more than a couple of squares of chocolate, but both contain similar amounts of calories.

5. Don't pick at leftovers

"Avoid the temptation to polish off children’s or grandchildren’s meals or to nibble leftovers"

Wasting food certainly isn’t ideal, but it doesn’t mean you need to finish off everyone else’s portions. Avoid the temptation to polish off children’s or grandchildren’s meals or to nibble leftovers when there’s not quite enough for a whole portion.

If you find it happens regularly, then get into the habit of cooking less or have a plan to use up leftovers in another meal.

6. 20-minute rule

Think you haven’t had enough? Wait for about 20 minutes before reaching for a second helping. It can take a little while for you to feel full after you have eaten. So avoid the temptation to keep eating and see if you get that feeling.

7. Check food labels

Make sure you know what portion the nutrition information on the front of pack relates to. It might be different to the amount you would normally serve yourself.

8. Ask for less

When you’re eating out, watch out for supersized portions. It’s easier to avoid temptation if the food isn’t on your plate to begin with, so say no to the bread basket and think about whether you need to have chips with your burger.

Dark circles appears when your under eye area starts to loose fat and collagen. It results in thining and of skin under eyes and his can make reddish-blue vessels under your eyes more prominent.

These are several dietary changes you can make to take a step to healthier diet and get rid of dark circles;

1) Eat a low salt diet+ drink more water:
When your body doesn’t have enough water but too much salt, you can look and feel puffy and bloated. The skin around your eyes is especially thin and vulnerable to dehydration. When you eat a salty meal but don’t drink enough water, your body will literally “look” dehydrated – i.e., red, puffy eyes.

2) Add fish and nuts to your diet:
Omega 3’s can be found in foods like salmon and walnuts. These fatty acids improve blood flow to the skin, moving blood out and away from your eyes instead of allowing it to pool there and cause dark under eye circles.

3) Eat more fruits and vegetables:
Fruits and vegetables contains vitamins, minerals as well as phytochemicals which works as antioxidants and also helps in reducing the signs of aging.

A combination of good sleep, healthy diet, proper hydration, good skincare, exercise and meditation works well to get rid of dark circles permanently but we mostly skip the part of healthy diet and rely on using different remedies and cosmetic creams on our eyes. So, whenever you work on any issue start with excluding the main cause of that issue and in this case start with taking a good diet.
