5 Good And Bad Things That Happen When You Stop Eating Meat

1. You lose weight. A team at George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, USA recently tried to pinpoint how much weight a person loses if they switch from being a non-vegetarian to a vegetarian. The study, which reviewed previous studies and was published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, showed that participants who cut meat out of their diets lost around 10 pounds on average without monitoring their calorie intake or increasing the amount they exercised. "The take-home message is that a plant-based diet can help you lose weight without counting calories and without ramping up your exercise routine," Neal Barnard, M.D., lead author of the study and an adjunct associate professor of medicine at the George Washington University, said at the time. 2. Your gut bacteria will change. You are what you eat, and that relates to your digestive system as much as any other part of your body. A 2014 study exploring the difference between the gut bacteria found in non-vegetarians, vegans and vegetarians found differences in all three. However, the biggest variation was between non-vegetarians and vegans, who don't consume any animal products whatsoever. Researchers at City University of New York found that vegans had more protective species of gut bacteria. 3. You could become deficient in nutrients. A balanced vegetarian or vegan diet can provide enough nutrients with enough planning. But it can be harder to get enough iron and Vitamins B12 and D, according to the National Health Service (NHS), UK. The body recommends eating plenty of pulses, such as beans and lentils, nuts, fruits, dark green vegetables, whole grains, and cereals with fortified irons to get enough iron. Vitamin B12 can be found in yeast extract products such as fortified breakfast cereals and soya products. Eggs, fortified fat spreads, cereals and some types of milk can be a source of Vitamin D. 4. Your risk of developing cancer could drop... A recent World Health Organization (WHO) report classed processed meats as carcinogenic, and so products such as bacon and salami found themselves categorised alongside formaldehyde, gamma radiation and cigarettes. Red meat was also labelled as "probably" having cancer causing properties. Eating just a 50g portion of processed meat - or two rashers of bacon a day - increases the risk of bowel cancer by 18 per cent, the experts concluded. However, others believe the risk is not as serious as that. 5. ...as well as your chance of having heart disease. Scientists recently found that red meat is linked to heart disease. A study by Lerner Research Institute in the US showed that carnitine, a nutrient found in the meat, sets off gut microbe reactions that contribute to the development of heart disease.

15 Easily Forgotten Life Lessons

1. Small gestures can mean the most Sometimes giving a small gift, or sharing a smile while walking by can make another persons day. Spread positivity with small gestures and watch the world be positive in return. 2. Our self-worth determines how we perceive others' actions If you think negatively about yourself, youre going to assume people are always being negative towards you. Having a self-worth that reflects well on yourself will stop that perception and help you view others actions as positive towards yourself. 3. Separating yourself from the situation makes the solution easier to see When youre head first in a situation and feeling backed up against a wall, finding a solution can be impossible. Moving yourself into a neutral corner of the arena can help you find a compromise that will make both parties happy in much better timing. 4. Dont take anything for granted When things are going good, and staying good, we forget that not everything is permanent. Never take anything for granted and appreciate what you have because it could be gone tomorrow. 5. Not everyone is going to like you You could be the most likable person on the planet, but that doesnt change that there is going to be someone who doesnt like you. Once you accept that, its easy to move forward with life. 6. We accept the love we think we deserve If you believe no one should love you, you wont notice the love that comes towards you. If you believe you are worthy of lots of love, you will notice and accept that love that comes towards you. 7. Everything happens for a reason Sometimes it can seem that the whole world is against you, but everything happens for a reason. There is a plan for each of us, and sometimes that plan has a few bumps. 8. Approach life with a smile If you smile at the world, the world will smile back at you. 9. Mean people arent mean, theyre hurt No one is born naturally mean. Those that act rudely towards others are trying to cope with their own hurt, so be kind to those who treat you horribly. They need it. 10. A step back is healthy in a relationship When youre in the early stages of any relationship its all too easy to jump in and lose yourself. Take some time to clear your head and reflect on where the relationship is going. It will help your relationship in the long run. 11. Every success deserves celebration It doesnt matter whether you won the Nobel Peace Prize or just finished filing your taxes, take the time to celebrate all your successes. 12. Take negative people out of your life In order to live a fulfilling life that makes you feel good you have to weed out the bad. Remove the people who bring you down and see how it improves your daily life. 13. Always do the thing that gives you the most out of life If the option is to stay inside and watch Netflix or to go to a gallery opening, choose the option you believe will help you grow emotionally and in your knowledge. Always choose the option that gives you the most. 14. Be well rounded, but focus on what you love Its important to know a little bit of everything in order to be a well-rounded person. However, choose things that mean the most to you and focus on them (sailing, criminal law, etc.) its important to have true interests, not just general knowledge. 15. Remind people how much they mean to you Promote good relations with those in your life by reminding them how much they mean to you. Send them a note or even an email.

11 Easy Ways To Boost Your Confidence

Regardless of the source of the moodiness, these tips can help: 1. Try to be understanding. Some people are simply going through a difficult time. Teenagers are prone to all sorts of hormonal issues that make managing their emotions challenging. Sometimes people are depressed, sick, tired, or chronically upset about something in their lives. It’s important to attempt to be understanding during these times. However, some people are simply bullies and use their moodiness to get what they want from others. Read on for strategies for dealing with this type of moodiness. 2. Take a break. If you’re forced to live or work with a moody person, give yourself a break at regular intervals. Go do something fun and get away for a bit. Find a non-moody person to talk to for 15 minutes. Dealing with moody people can be exhausting. 3. Stay calm. There’s no reason to get upset. Nine times out of ten, you’ve probably done nothing wrong. Others are generally moody for reasons that have nothing to do with you directly. You don’t have to solve the moodiness or allow it to make you feel bad. 4. It might be best to consider removing the person from your life. If you’re dealing with someone that always seems to dictate the mood around them, they are controlling. If your patience, concern, and advice don’t seem to have any effect, and they are making you miserable, consider removing them from your life. Any relationship should consist of both people giving and taking. If you’re always giving and they’re always taking, why are still spending time with them? 5. Avoid falling into the trap. Moody people stay moody because it helps them to get what they want. Others allow them to have their way in order to keep the peace. But giving in on a short-term basis only increases your challenge in the long term. If you reward them, they’re much less likely to change. 6. Learn to ignore the negative mood. Pretend the other person isn’t moody at all. Just go about your day as if nothing were wrong. We can’t control others, but we can control our reactions to them. With practice, it becomes easier than you think. 7. Address the behavior. Sometimes you can put an end to moodiness by letting them know that you’re onto their game. This can be as simple as asking, “I’ve noticed you’re irritable a lot. Why is that?” The last thing a moody person wants is for their moodiness to become a topic in itself. They want to use it as a tool. 8. Be sensitive to those that are moody due to dealing with a significant challenge in life. Some people simply need sympathy and understanding. Those that use moodiness as a means to manipulate are a different story. 9. Avoid rewarding these bullies by having some personal boundaries. Don’t let their moods affect the choices you make. Learn to act as if there were no moodiness at all. Letting these folks have their way is a huge mistake. You’re only encouraging the behavior to continue in the future. 10.The moodiness of others doesn’t have to have a huge impact on you. 11. Use these strategies to effectively deal with their negative moods so they don’t become a challenge in your own life.

Tips on Filling Fuel in Your Vehicles

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR VEHICLES IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS STILL COLD. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... Your litre is not exactly a litre. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products play an important role. A 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps. WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE. If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that are created, while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour. Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL. The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can Imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every litre is actually the exact amount. ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP - most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom. Hope, this will help you get the maximum value for your money.
