SHOULD WE LOVE ORANGES?
YES,WE SHOULD!
BUT WHY?
BECAUSE... OF ITS BENEFITS !
BENEFITS:
1.Oranges can help to suppress appetite for up to four hours after eating. This means that oranges are an excellent food for dieters.
2.Oranges help to activate the body's own detoxification process and even the skin and zest of this fruit contain anti-oxidants which help to transport oxygen around the body and protect the skin from free radicals which cause signs of aging. In other words, eating oranges can help to keep the wrinkles away.
3.oranges contain a natural skin cancer fighting chemical. This isn't an alternative to using sunscreens, but it does help.
4.Oranges are an excellent source of dietary fiber and can be added to salads. Slices of orange can really liven up a boring salad, especially if you are watching your weight.
5.Oranges contain large quantities of citrus limonoids which are thought to give some protection from cancers of the mouth, skin, lung, breast, stomach and colon.
6.Limonoids have also been shown to reduce cholesterol levels in human cells.
7.Oranges are a good source of vitamin B folate which helps to prevent birth defects and protects the heart.
8.One orange provides more than 7% of the daily requirement of potassium which is needed to keep the fluid levels within the body in proper balance.
9.Orange is a real powerhouse of phytochemicals which may help to prevent age related illness. Phytochemicals are plant chemicals that appear to offer no nutritional benefit for the body, but combine together to give protection to cells. This is already seen in plants and scientists believe that the same effect occurs in human cells.
10.Oranges contain water soluble pectin which helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels.
11.An average sized orange contains approximately 50mg of vitamin C, which is around two thirds of our daily requirement. Vitamin C helps with wound healing and resistance to disease.
12.Women who ate oranges regularly had 50% less risk of heart disease compared to those who didn't eat them regularly. This is thought to be because the flavanoids in this fruit are helping to protect the cells.

PIMPLES OUTBREAK ! WHAT TO DO ?!
Hey peeps !Pimples is one of the main causes which happens to teenagers.To teenagers of course, they think pimples makes them look ugly and destroyed their confidence.Well, your sorrow has come to an end, as we are here to teach you ways to keep your face clean and a good healthy body.
To keep up a good habit of keeping your face clean,you have got to be:
-Conscientious
-Hardworking
-Resist temptations
These three things can help you to keep a healthy and clean face!
Let's start with the different ways to cure pimples:
1.Keeping the face clean.
Use a good face scrub to prevent a severe outbreak of pimples.Make sure that you also find a soap that is soft and will not leave hard residue on your face. *If you tend to sweat more,wash your face more frequently*
2.Drinking more water.
As our body are 75% of water, we have to make sure that we keep our body as hydrate as possible.It may sound simple , but you will be shocked by how the water prevents acne!
3.Making sure you consume a lot of fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables already contain a lot of water, as well as other vitamins and nutrients. Like vitamin A, which helps with repairing and growing essential body tissues and helps maintain glowing soft skin. Vitamin B type vitamins help to prevent your face from being so oily vitamin C keeps from spreading, and vitamin E is good for preventing marks from being left on your face.
What other remedy do we have ?
-You can apply a tomato or tomato paste to your face.
You leave the solution on your face for an hour a day until you see results. You can also apply garlic to your face, some have reported seeing results within a few weeks. And last but not least, my personal favorite, witch hazel. Witch hazel is real simple and easy, all you have to do is apply its a piece of cotton or toilet paper. Apply it to your face, and go on your merry way. It's not instant solution by any means. However, you can add it in with the rest of the above selection, you will when the war on acne.
"I do not have any pimples,but I am afraid of having it.So how can I prevent from pimples?"
Prevent your pimples in 4 easy steps:
1.Become aware of how you take care of your skin.
Each morning, you need to wash your face thoroughly. If you wash your face in the shower, be sure to have a separate bar of soap for washing your face. This assures that you don't get any unwanted bacteria on your face, which can cause pimples.
2.After getting out of a shower,be sure to dry your face as dry as possible.
This includes drying behind your ears and around your hairline as well. Removing excess moisture helps prevent pimples. But, there is something more you can do to prevent pimples if you're a woman.
3.Avoid wearing heavy makeup. Makeup can block your pores and prevent sweat from escaping, which can cause more pimples. If possible, use a mineral makeup that allows your skin to breath.
4.When the end of the day arrives, men and women should both wash their faces thoroughly. The amount of grit and grime your face encounters throughout the day can cause bad pimples. By removing the excess dirt, you are also priming your face for products that will help prevent pimples.
