There’s an old saying: If you find yourself standing in a deep hole with a shovel in your hands, stop digging. Yet when it comes to our rapid weight loss, most of us dig ourselves a little deeper into the hole every single day.

In this video we’ll explore 6 bad-habits that may be keeping most people from losing that weight and keeping it off.

1.Skipping Breakfast
It can be hard to make time for breakfast during the rush to get out the door in the morning, but if you're trying to lose weight or keep it off, make the extra effort to fit it in. Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism, forcing it to begin burning calories.
Your first meal of the day should include proteins, a small portion of a healthy fat food, and combined complex carbohydrates.

2.Consuming Sugary Drinks: 
Sugary drinks like soft drinks, which contain a high amount of added sugar or other artificial sweeteners are the major contributor to the obesity epidemic in the world. People who consume sugary drinks do not feel full when compared with the same amount of calories consumed in the form of solids. Try to drink 8-10 glasses of water everyday instead. Consuming water helps flush away body toxins. and maintain your body weight.


3.Eating too quickly.
A busy life and working schedule force us to eat faster. There are days when we don’t even have time to sit still and spend a few minutes eating peacefully. It is said that it takes almost 20-minutes for the stomach to inform the brain that it is full. Thus, it is important that we eat slowly and take at least 20-minutes to have a meal. This will aid in better digestion too. Follow the rule that says a single bite should be chewed a minimum of 20-times.

4.You Avoid All Fats
You know that eating trans fats can increase your risk of heart disease, weight gain and stroke, so you’re smart to stay away. But not all fats need to make your “do not eat” list. Consuming healthy fats like flax-seeds, Avocado, and nuts can actually help you slim down and stay healthy. Fats not only help us absorb many of the vitamins from our diets, but they also help keep us fuller longer, which can aid weight loss efforts.

5.Eating before going to bed
Most likely, we eat late at night because it’s a habit – not because we are hungry. If you were to keep track of all you ate at bedtime for one week, you may notice a pattern. You may be consuming something sweet and high in calories. If you feel you must eat something, select a piece of fruit.


6.Sleeping poorly
Keeping a set sleep schedule should enhance your sleep. If you don’t have any set time to go to bed, your body’s chemistry may get out of synch. 
This creates hormonal imbalances that trick you into believing you will only be satisfied if you eat.

How you look and feel when you’re older may depend on how you live your-life when you’re younger. To a great extent, good senior health means making good choices early-on. That means getting rid of bad-habits now that could threaten your physical well-being later.
Here are 7-culprits that speed-up the aging process and will make you look twice as old in half the time.

1.Holding Grudges
Forgiveness is something most of us believe in, but we don’t always practice it. Holding grudges against any person or situation is not good for your health as well as appearance.
If you are not able to forgive, you are adding more-stress to your life, which boosts your level of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol leads to weight-gain, high-blood pressure and high blood-sugar.
Stress even leads to more frowning, one of the key causes of wrinkles on the forehead
2.Not Getting Enough-Sleep
Beauty-sleep is a real thing
Just one night of bad sleep can make you look and feel tired. It can even lead to dark circles and bags under your eyes. Now, imagine what lack of sleep for days can do to your skin appearance. Make Sure You Get at-least 7-8 hours of sleep every-night.


3.Smoking
It’s certainly no secret that smoking is bad for your health. But did you know it’s bad for your looks, too? Studies show that in addition to shortening your life by increasing your risk for heart and lung-disease, smoking can activate enzymes that break down the elasticity of your skin. Even if you’re a closet smoker, the fine wrinkles and pallor that cigarettes cause can give you away — just one more reason to snuff out those smokes.


4.Feeding Your Sweet-Tooth
A sugar-packed diet can take a toll on your waistline and weight. It can even accelerate the skin-aging process. It can make your skin-dull and wrinkled.
This happens due to the process known as “glycation”, in which sugar attaches to and damages proteins like collagen and elastin. These proteins are needed to keep skin smooth and flexible. According to a 2014 study published in the American Journal of Public-Health, drinking sugary sodas may also speed-up your body’s aging process.

5.Not Staying Active
working out won’t only keep your muscles taut, but it’ll also do the same for your skin.  exercise has been shown to keep skin looking healthier for longer by improving blood-flow to the outer layers, which in turn boosts oxygen-levels and sweeps away harmful waste products.

6.Stressing the Hell-Out
Over the years, scientists discovered that stress, and the elevated cortisol levels that goes along with it, can be tied to anything from heart-disease and hypertension to decline in libido levels, erectile-dysfunction, and so much more. So it’s not at all surprising that stress can mess with the skin, further decreasing collagen over-time.

7.Drinking Alcohol in Excess
Alcohol is a natural diuretic, so when you drink in excess it causes dehydration. Dehydration depletes the natural moisture from your-skin, which automatically makes you look older than your-age.

The use of herbs and spices has been incredibly important throughout history. Many were celebrated for their medicinal properties, well before culinary use. Modern science has now shown that many of them do indeed carry remarkable health benefits.
Here are 6 of the world's healthiest herbs and spices you should include in your diet
1.Cinnamon Lowers Blood Sugar Levels 
Cinnamon is a popular spice, found in all sorts of recipes and baked goods. It contains a compound called cinnamaldehyde, which is responsible for cinnamon's medicinal properties.
Cinnamon can lower blood sugar by several mechanisms, including by slowing the breakdown of carbs in the digestive tract and improving insulin sensitivity.

2.Sage Can Improve Brain Function and Memory
Sage gets its name from the Latin word Salvere, which means "to save."
It had a strong reputation for its healing properties during the middle ages, and was even used to help prevent the plague.
Current research indicates that sage may be able to improve brain function and memory, especially in people with Alzheimer's disease.
Other studies have also shown that sage can improve memory function in healthy people, both young and old.

3.Peppermint Relieves IBS Pain and May Reduce Nausea
Peppermint has a long history of use in folk medicine and aromatherapy.

Many studies have shown that peppermint oil can improve pain management in irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS
It appears to work by relaxing the smooth muscles in the colon, which relieves pain experienced during bowel movements. It also helps to reduce abdominal bloating, which is a common digestive symptom
4.Turmeric
Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its yellow color. It contains several compounds with medicinal properties, the most important of which is curcumin. Curcumin is a remarkably powerful antioxidant, helping to fight oxidative damage and boosting the body's own antioxidant enzymes.
This is important, because oxidative damage is believed to be one of the key mechanisms behind ageing and many diseases.
Curcumin is also strongly anti-inflammatory, to the point where it matches the effectiveness of some anti-inflammatory drugs.

5.Ginger Can Treat Nausea and Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Ginger is a popular spice used in several forms of alternative medicine. Studies have consistently shown that 1-gram or more of ginger can successfully treat nausea. This includes nausea caused by morning sickness, chemotherapy and sea sickness.
Ginger also appears to have strong anti-inflammatory properties, and can help with pain management.

6.Garlic Can Combat Sickness and Improve Heart Health
Throughout ancient history, the main use of garlic was for its medicinal properties.
We now know that most of these health effects are due to a compound called allicin, which is also responsible for garlic's distinct smell.
Garlic supplementation is well known for combatting sickness, including the common cold. If you often get colds, then adding more garlic to your diet could be incredibly helpful. There is also convincing evidence for beneficial effects on heart health.
For those with high cholesterol, garlic supplementation appears to reduce total and/or LDL cholesterol by about 10-15%.
