Tips on How to Choose Good-Quality Sunglasses
Good-quality sunglasses give your eyes year-round protection from the sun’s harsh rays. Today’s fashion sunglasses come in many styles. Choose your sunglasses to suit not only your face but also your personality.
You can buy a pair of sunglasses for a few hundred pesos and look terrific—or you can buy a pair for just a small amount and feel the same. What matters most is the lens inside the frame and the protection that it will give your eyes.
We take a lot of care in oiling and creaming our eyes, so why should we subject them to the harsh glare that results in nasty lines around the eyes? Sensitivity to light results in headaches and inflammation of the eyes, and it’s not limited to summer only.
The minute you find that you are squinting or feeling sensitive to light, you can be sure that you need sunglasses.
Buy glasses that will protect your eyes adequately. Don’t buy the very cheap ones. To test the quality of the lenses, put them on, focus on an object, and then wiggle the lenses up and down. If the object appears to move, the lenses aren’t good enough. If it remains in the same spot they are. What glasses you choose should depend on your life style. Consider where you spend most of the day, how active you are and whether or not you are constantly changing environments.
Graduated Lenses
The most popular lenses, these are darker at the top, and then fade to a lighter color at the bottom. They allow you to be outside for long periods, and then go inside without removing the glasses, because the lower half of the lens is reasonably light. These are great for dashing in and out of shops.
Photochromatic Lenses
These are sensitive to light. Outside they react to the sun and automatically darken. Inside, where the brightness is less intense, they lighten to suit the situation.
Polaroid Lenses
These absorb white glare from the sun, which makes them excellent for sailing, water sports and particularly the beach.
The smashing shapes in sunglasses today do away with the old hard-and-fast rules about face shapes and frame shapes. The minute you put a pair of glasses on you will have a feeling about liking them or not.
Then, get a friend to help with your final choice. You can’t completely understand how they look. If you have a definite face shape, use the guide here to help you choose a shape to flatter your face.
Your first choice should be an all-purpose pair. If you can afford a second pair, go for different-colored frames, not different lenses. Your eyes become ‘accustomed to a certain lens and it’s unwise to change.
With all dark glasses, once you begin wearing them your eyes become used to them and demand extra protection, otherwise you suffer discomfort.
Care for your sunglasses with a case when you are not wearing them—and don’t forget that beautiful sunglasses attract attention, so you don’t want untidy brows behind them.
When you get your summer passes, be seen wearing them all the year round—not just to look good but also to give your eyes a sunny view of things.
What Every Chocoholic Should Know
Chocolate has been used for medicinal purposes throughout history. Some uses included treating anemia, poor appetite, mental fatigue, poor breast milk production, tuberculosis, gout, fever, and kidney stones; stimulating the nervous systems of weak patients; and improving digestion and elimination. Other parts of the cacao tree were also used to treat some ailments.
Chocolates in general are not currently used to improve health. Although some women use it to help soothe a broken heart, recent studies on chocolate have suggested potential health benefits.
Chocolate is a plant-based food that has been found to contain flavonoids, a type of phytochemical that is also present in red wine, green tea, peanuts, cranberries, strawberries, apples, and many other fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids act as antioxidants by protecting cells from damage by free radicals. Chocolate high in flavonoids may improve cardiovascular health. Some research has indicated chocolate may work similar to aspirin to help keep platelets in blood from clotting. This improves blood flow and can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. In addition, flavonoids in chocolate may decrease oxidation of LDL or bad cholesterol. When LDLs are oxidized, they increase plaque buildup in blood vessels.
Chocolate may also increase nitric oxide activity, which is important for healthy blood pressure. Processing cacao beans can destroy some of the flavonoids, so flavonoid levels in the final product vary. Dark and semi-sweet chocolates are higher in flavonoids compared with milk chocolate. Cocoa powder and chocolate syrups are low in flavonoids due to processing methods. Chocolate contains quite a bit of saturated fat, which is known to raise cholesterol levels and contribute to heart disease. However, it is also high in stearic acid, a saturated fat that does not have the same cholesterol-raising effects. Unfortunately, stearic acid may lower HDL or good cholesterol.
As we all know, chocolates is high in calories, making it likely that including more of it in our diets will only expand our waistlines rather than improve our health. Until more conclusive evidence is available supporting the benefits of chocolate, we’re probably better off choosing a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables that offer the same important disease-fighting compounds.
For chocoholics like me who need to satisfy their cravings, here are a few lower calorie ideas:
• Eat chocolate with meals. You’ll be less likely to overindulge.
• Buy chocolates in small quantities such as one or two Kisses.
• Enjoy nonfat chocolate milk.
• Melt chocolate chips and use it as a dip for mini pretzels, strawberries or apricots.
• Use chocolate-flavored syrup on vanilla yogurt, fresh fruit or graham crackers. • Make a chocolate pudding with skim mi1k.
• Have a fudgesicle instead of chocolate ice cream.
The answer to weight loss: Discipline!
One of the problem that most woman encounters is weight loss or how to lose some extra lbs. It is very easy to gain weight, an ice cream pint can do wonders to make you heavier. An extra serving of rice is enough to gt you to the next bigger size of clothing. Ironically, losing some excess fat is the hardest to do. You can spend a day in the thread mill and it seems that you’re not losing any lbs.
Actually, weight loss is not that hard to attain. Weight loss should be partnered with discipline. 
Discipline not to eat more and discipline to work out and shed off some fats. I think, most of us lacks that kind of discipline. Admit it, it is hard to say no to the sweetest cake on the table. It is hard not take a sip from an ice cold beverage. It is hard to say no but in the end, we really have to say no to those things to attain our goal.
If you ask me, I am almost done with my first step on losing weight, that’s saying no to sweets and some delights that makes me fat.
