Belly fat can often be stubborn to deal with. It takes a lot of time and dedication to work out and get rid of it to achieve that 6-pack abdomen you’ve been putting in your New Year’s resolution for years. 

To help you get rid of that Noche Buena, Media Noche-fats, here’s one secret you might want to try for yourself.

You will need the juice of a lemon, 1 cucumber in slices, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, a handful of either cilantro or parsley, ½ glass of water.

After preparing your ingredients, simply add the ingredients together, blend them, and gulp down that glass of nature’s juice before bedtime.

Why drink this, you ask? To begin with, lemon is a great way to flush out unwanted toxins in the body and to melt fat by helping metabolism while you sleep. 

Cucumber slices are also good for you because of its water content which will help refresh you. Ginger, on the other hand, helps in firing up the metabolism and get it pumping as you slumber. The leafy veggies such as parsley and cilantro are extremely low in calories and full of antioxidants.

Don’t Like Buko Juice? Here Are 5 Reasons To Start Drinking It!

Commonly known to the Filipino people as “buko juice”, coconut water is one of nature’s gifts to humankind. It is packed with vitamins and minerals, with a flavor that is as natural and refreshing as it gets. 

This clear liquid is extracted from coconuts that can grow as large as a basketball.

Dubbed as “Mother Nature’s Sports Drink” by the advertising world, the demand for coconut water has went through the roof over the past couple of years. 

This is because Filipinos just love their buko juice and if you didn’t have enough reasons why, here are 5 more to get you on the buko juice bandwagon!

1.) KEEPS YOU HYDRATED – Composed of a well-balanced fluid filled with calories and sugars, coconut water is an ideal drink to combat dehydration. Professional tennis player John Isner swears by coconut water as his drink of choice that has kept him on his feet for his epic 11-hour Wimbledon win.

2.) BETTER DIGESTION – Coconut water is packed with enzymes that help the digestive tract, helping you get rid of those unwanted toxins in your body.

3.) CAN LOWER BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS – The magnesium levels in coconut water are enough to aid in increasing insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar levels.

4.) MAY PREVENT KIDNEY STONES – For all you alcoholics out there, gulping down a huge amount of water for a day after a night of heavy drinking is a good idea, but drinking coconut water is even better. Drinking buko juice can help in preventing kidney stones from forming. 

5.) STABILIZES BLOOD PRESSURE - The high potassium content of coconut water can counteract sodium buildup, one of the root causes of clogged arteries which results in cardiac arrests.

This Ancient Spice Can Help Improve Your Eyesight By 97% In Just Three Months!

Perfect eyesight is wonderful to have, but not everyone can have perfect 20-20 vision. Some people are just unlucky and are born with bad eyesight.

These people are fated to wear eye-glasses for the rest of their lives. Others don't care too much for glasses and settle for the alternative, i.e. contact lenses.

Of course, these items have their own disadvantages.  

Your glasses can break and need constant care. Contact lenses can get lost – or worse still if you fall asleep and forget that you're wearing them. There are a lot of bad things that could happen to your eyes if you leave your contacts on while sleeping, such as getting an infection that could lead to permanent eye damage.

How can we improve our vision without expensive eye surgery? Go all-natural, of course.

Saffron is an ancient spice that has been used by humans for 3000 years. According to research, saffron may prevent macular degeneration and improve eyesight. Saffron contains 'red stamens' which have been used in the production of food coloring.

According to saffron researcher Silvia Bisti, "Saffron appears to affect genes which regulate the fatty acid content of the cell membrane, and this makes the vision cells tougher and more resilient". 

We suggest taking 20mg of saffron supplements, just like how Professor Silvia Bisti did during her research. Within three months, the results may surprise you!

Remember to always consult your doctor concerning matters of personal health.

WARNING: Don't Take Receipts From Cash Registers And ATM's After Transactions! FIND OUT WHY HERE!

The most convenient thing that happened to society is the birth of fast food restaurants and automated teller machines (ATM). However, did you know that these machines can be dangerous for your
health? It may sound peculiar but studies had proven that receiving receipts with your bare hands can be the cause of the transfer of BPA or Bisphenol A to your skin.

What is Bisphenol A (BPA)? According to Medical News Today, "Bisphenol A, often known as BPA is a chemical found in hard plastics and the coatings of food and drinks cans which can behave in a similar way to estrogen and other hormones in the human body.

 BPA is used to make many products, including water bottles, baby bottles, dental fillings and sealants, dental devices, medical devices, eyeglass lenses, DVDs and CDs, household electronic and sports equipment.

 BPA can also be found in epoxy resins which is used as coatings inside food and drinks cans." Exposure to BPA can cause illness such as problems in the reproductive system, behavioral problems among children, diabetes and cancer. Forbes released an article about BPA found in receipts and according to their article, "The chemical has been banned in chippy cups and bottles, and advocates have petitioned for its ban in adult products, too.

 The problem is that it seems to be everywhere: In plastic bottles, the lining of tin cans, in dental fillings, and in cash register receipt paper." Frederick vom Saal, together with his team, studied the effects of BPA in the human body. "Our research found that large amounts of BPA can be transferred to your hands and then to the food you hold and eat as well as be absorbed through your skin," he said to Forbes.

 He also said that BPA is found in the surface of store and fast food receipts, airline tickets, ATM receipts and other thermal paper. “The problem is, we as consumers have hand sanitizers, hand creams, soaps and sunscreens on our hands that drastically alter the absorption rate of the BPA found on these receipts," vom Saal said. That is why it is advised that we always wash our hands.

 However, the Environmental Protection Agency or EPA did a possible alternative for thermal papers. Their conclusion was that "decision makers may wish to consider alternative printing systems," according to Forbes.
