Technology Market / Guess What New Dope Patent Apple Filed by tweetsme(m): 1:45pm On Jan 28, 2017
We've seen our fair share of eyebrow-raising patent filings from Apple, but this one from Cupertino might be the most unexpected yet.

The company has filed a patent application for a vaporizer, yes a vaporizer.

The application, which was first spotted by Digital Trends, was published on Thursday, although it was originally filed in July 2016. It describes "an apparatus for vaporization or sublimation of a substance." The filing doesn't speculate how the vaporizer may be used or what type of substances would be vaporized.

Though vaporizers have been used in a number of settings for decades, vaping — the act of consuming nicotine or marijuana via personal vaporizers — has become its own kind of subculture as technology costs have dropped.

But while the thought of a Jony Ive-designed vape is intriguing, that may not be what Apple has in mind. The image accompanying the patent looks more like a device that would be used in an industrial setting than toking on your couch.

It also goes without saying that a personal vaporizer wouldn't exactly be "on brand" for the controversy-adverse Apple, which is rumored to be eyeing a bigger play in the healthcare industry.

Still, if Apple ever did decide to make a company-branded vaporizer, we're pretty sure it would be an instant hit.

Investment / Forget MMM: Nigerian Domain Investor Sold The Domain Name Gud.com For $32,000 by tweetsme(m): 6:58pm On Jan 20, 2017
foremost Nigerian domain investor Paul Arthur just concluded the sale of Gud.com for $32,000. Paul Arthur who is the owner of Tuoky.com ( domain brokering and acquisition company) sold the domain some weeks but just decide to share the details.
According to him, this is not the first domain to be broker by him, he wants to keep a very low profile.

The domain buying business which is still not fully practice in Nigeria unlike other countries is a big business which many fail to realise. just imagine selling a name for just $32,000 (#14,000,0000), goes to show how big the market is.

All those who are killing themselves from MMM, should learn from this. congrats to Paul Arthur

Science/Technology / This Picture Shows Life Exist In Other Planets by tweetsme(m): 12:35pm On Jul 18, 2016
The never-before seen photograph shows a mysterious dragon-shaped organism found in space, which they claim also reveals that all life on Earth, including humans, is extraterrestrial in origin.

It was discovered in dust and particulate matter gathered deep in the Earth’s stratosphere.

Its finders say it is a “biological entity” made of carbon and oxygen – the building blocks of life.

And the scientists who made the incredible find insist there is no way it could have blown up into space from our planet – and so must have originated elsewhere in the universe.

It was discovered by Professor Milton Wainwright and his team from the University of Sheffield and the University of Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology.

Professor Wainwright sent balloons into the stratosphere 27 km above the Earth’s atmosphere to collect particles from space.

He claimed what they have discovered is not only proof that life exists in outer space, but that extraterrestrial organisms are continually raining down on earth.

He said: “The photo shows a structure colloquially called ‘the dragon particle’ which scientific analysis shows is made of carbon and oxygen and is therefore not a piece of cosmic or volcanic dust.



Scientists claim the dragon particle is conclusive evidence of life elsewhere in the universe
“This is clearly a biology entity (about 10micron in size), although it is unclear whether it is part of a single organism or is made up of smaller, individual microbes.

“It is certainly unusual and seems to be like nothing found on Earth.

“What is amazing is that these organisms appear on the sampling stubs in an absolutely pristine condition.

“There is no pollen, grass or pollution particles found with them, or for that matter soil or volcanic dust.

“Unless a means of lifting them from Earth exists which selectively sieves them out from other Earth-derived debris then they must be incoming from space.

“This, plus the fact that some of the biological material samples by the team produce impact craters when they hit the sampler, confirms their space origin.”

It comes just weeks after astronauts said they found traces of life on the surface of the International Space Station (ISS) which orbits Earth

Romance / Ways To Have A Good Realtionship by tweetsme(m): 8:44pm On Jul 15, 2016
Do a Google search on how to get your best body and you’ll be inundated with pages of training tips. For those who want to take that same, proactive approach to creating your best relationship, I have your “exercise regimen” below.

1. Do the things you did the first year you were dating.
As the months and years roll on, we tend to slink into our proverbial sweatpants and get lazy in our relationship. We lose our patience, gentleness, thoughtfulness, understanding and the general effort we once made toward our mate. Think back to the first year of your relationship and write down all the things you used to do for your partner. Now start doing them again.

2. Ask for what you want.
Over time, we assume that our partner knows us so well that we don’t need to ask for what we want. What happens when we make this assumption? Expectations are set and just as quickly, they get deflated. Those unmet expectations can leave us questioning the viability of our partnership and connection. Keep in mind that “asking for what you want” extends to everything from emotional to sexual wants.
3. Become an expert on your partner.
Think about who your mate really is and what excites him or her (both physically and emotionally). We can become consumed by what WE THINK he/she wants, as opposed to tuning in to what truly resonates with the other person. Remember that if it’s important to your partner, it doesn’t have to make sense to you. You just have to do it.

4. Don’t ask “how was your day.”
At the end of a long day, we tend to mentally check out of our lives and consequently, our relationship. We rely on the standard question, “How was your day?” Generally, that boring question will yield a boring answer such as, “Fine, how was yours?” This does nothing to improve your connection and instead, can actually damage it because you’re losing the opportunity to regularly connect in a small way.
Instead, try asking things like, “What made you smile today?” or “What was the most challenging part of your day?” You’ll be amazed at the answers you’ll get, with the added benefit of gaining greater insight into your significant other.

5. Create a weekly ritual to check in with one another.
It can be short or long but it begins with asking each other what worked and didn’t work about the previous week and what can be done to improve things this coming week. Additionally, use this opportunity to get on the same page with your schedules, plan a date night and talk about what you would like to see happen in the coming days, weeks, and months in your relationship. Without an intentional appointment to do a temperature check, unmet needs and resentments can build.

The Nigerian city even had a starring role in the newest Captain America movie, sparking the tongue-and-cheek trending hashtag #CaptainAmericaInNigeria. Brooklyn-based Nigerian artist Olalekan Jeyifous has his own futuristic twist on the city. In a series dubbed Shanty Megastructures, he’s recreated a Lagos in 2050 where massive tin shacks tower over the city’s luxury real estate areas.

Romance / Top Ways To Have A Peaceful Realtionships by tweetsme(m): 1:51pm On Jul 14, 2016
made a million and one mistakes in relationships. I’ve expected too much. Or not asked for what I needed in fear of rocking the boat. I’ve been competitive. I’ve been suspicious. I’ve been dependent. I’d like to think what redeems me from all these mistakes is that I’ve also been honest.

Being self aware, in my opinion, is far more valuable than being perfect—mostly because the former is attainable and helpful, while the latter is neither.

Relationships are not easy. They mirror everything we feel about ourselves. When you’ve had a bad day, the people around you seem difficult. When you’re not happy with yourself, your relationships seem to be lacking.

If you’ve ever gotten in a fight only to find yourself wondering what you were really upset about, this post may help you. If you’ve ever been disappointed because someone didn’t meet your expectations, this post may help you, too. Feel walked on and unheard? You guessed it—there’s likely something in here that will help you change that.

We don’t live in a vacuum. We have thoughts and feelings that can be confusing. Other people do too. And just like in the movie Crash, they don’t always collide smoothly.

When I apply these ideas, I feel confident, strong, compassionate, and peaceful in my interactions. I hope they can do the same for you.
1. Do what you need to do for you.

Everyone has personal needs, whether it’s going to the gym after work or taking some alone time on Saturday morning. If someone asks you to do something and your instinct is to honor you own need, do that. I’m not saying you can’t make sacrifices sometimes, but it’s important to make a habit of taking care of yourself.

Someone once told me people are like glasses of water. If we don’t do what we have to do to keep our glass full, we’ll need to take it from someone else—which leaves them half full. Fill your own glass so you can feel whole and complete in your relationships.
2. Give people the benefit of the doubt.

It’s tempting to doubt people—to assume your boyfriend meant to hurt you by not inviting you out with his friends, or your friend meant to make you feel inadequate by flaunting her money. People who care about you want you to feel happy, even if sometimes they get too wrapped up in their own problems to show it well.

Sometimes they may be hurtful and mean it—let’s not pretend we’re all angels. But that won’t be the norm. It will likely be when they’re hurting and don’t know what to do with it. Odds are they’ll feel bad and apologize later. If you want to get good will, share it by seeing the best in the people you love. When we assume the best, we often inspire it.
3. Look at yourself for the problem first.

When you feel unhappy with yourself, it’s easy to find something wrong in a relationship. If you blame another person for what you’re feeling, the solution is on them. But this is actually faulty logic. For starters, it gives them all the control. And secondly, it usually doesn’t solve the problem, since you didn’t actually address the root cause.

Next time you feel the need to blame someone for your feelings—something they did or should have done—ask yourself if there’s something else going on. You may find there’s something underlying: something you did or should have done for you. Take responsibility for the problem and you have power to create a solution.
4. Be mindful of projecting.

In psychology, projecting refers to denying your own traits and then ascribing them to the outside world or other people. For example, if you’re not a loyal and trusting friend, you may assume your friends are all out to get you. It’s a defense mechanism that allows you to avoid the discomfort of acknowledging your weaknesses. There’s no faster way to put a rift in your relationships.

This comes back to down to self awareness, and it’s hard work. Acknowledging your flaws isn’t fun, but if you don’t, you’ll continue seeing them in everyone around you. And you’ll continue to hurt. Next time you see something negative in someone else, ask yourself if it’s true for you. It might not be, but if it is, identifying it can help create peace in that relationship.
5. Choose your battles.

Everyone knows someone who makes everything a fight. If you question them about something, you can expect an argument. If you comment on something they did, you’ll probably get yelled at. Even a compliment could create a confrontation. Some people just like to fight—maybe to channel negativity they’re carrying around about the world or themselves.

On the one hand, you have to tell people when there’s something bothering you. That’s the only way to address problems. On the other hand, you don’t have to let everything bother you. When I’m not sure if I need to bring something up, I ask myself these few questions:

Does this happen often and leave me feeling bad?
Does this really matter in the grand scheme of things?
Can I empathize with their feelings instead of dwelling on my insecurity?

Foreign Affairs / British Royal Family News – Prince Harry Took An HIV Test And Tested Negative by tweetsme(m): 1:44pm On Jul 14, 2016
Better safe than sorry! On Thursday morning, Prince Harry took to Facebook Live to share footage of himself getting tested for HIV at the Guys and St. Thomas’ Hospital in London.

The 31-year-old red headed royal met with a doctor to show just how easy it is to get tested. Noting that he is currently “single,” Harry still thought it was important to have the test done, “whether you’re a man, woman, gay, straight, black, white, whatever, a ginger!”

He was asked to wash his hands and then got his finger pricked. The results were instant and Harry was given a clean bill of health.

Prince William’s younger brother continued to promote the simple steps to get tested, saying, “Why wouldn’t you? It’s a normal test.”

Prince Harry is determined to carry on his late mother Princess Diana’s legacy of fighting against HIV. Last month he announced his plans to work closely with charities dedicated to HIV awareness and prevention.

“The Prince is now determined to help his generation understand that the battle against the disease has not yet been won and still needs fighting,” a royal spokesperson said.

The royals have also recently been making headlines for their stance against bullying. Just last month, Prince William appeared on the cover of the LGBT magazine, Attitude, making history as the first royal to do so.

Romance / Signs To Know You Have Found Your Soul Mate by tweetsme(m): 10:45am On Jul 12, 2016
This is an interesting article, and I hope you settle down, read and understand this article, it will give you, a deep insight, regarding if your current spouse is your soulmate or not. I hope you enjoy this article and it helps you choose the right partner for life.

Your soul mate is loyal

There is something about loyalty in relationship that is very difficult to see. Most especially in this 21st century, dating someone who is loyal is like discovering Daimond.

Lack of trust, loyalty is among the 85% backbone of broken relationships. Loyalty is an essential quality of any close relationship, and you should definitely be able to check this off the list when seeking your soul mate. Having a strong assurance that they will be there for you in all times is a must, because a Relationship is not a bed of rose, it isn’t something that is always great, there are also down times, and having someone who you know, will stick by you, during this rainly period, is a must for you.

When you’re having any issue, especially Health issues and financial problems, your soul mate will also be willing to remain by your side. When you finally start dating the right person, there will be a connection and union which is made that goes far beyond any superficial situation.

Your soul mate is supportive

Support from your significant other is vital, and a soul mate should be able to provide this at all times, in all situations. Your soul mate will help uplift you, will stay aware of your emotions, and help pick you up when you’re feeling down.

Of all people, the person who touches your soul will know your vulnerabilities, and much like the ancient art of Kintsugi, your soul mate will help fill your cracks and make you stronger than ever before.

Your soul mate has similar morals and values

In the “talking” phase of your relationship, you probably talked to your partner about your hobbies, interests, favorite memories from childhood, and what your family is like. Sharing these things with your partner helps them get to know a little bit about you as a person, and likely set the stage for a second date.

Somewhere down the road, you probably wanted to know them on a deeper level and get an idea of their core values and morals. If both of you have very different interests and hobbies, but connect on a deeper, spiritual level, you will have a higher chance of making a lasting connection than two people who have no core values in common. In other words, the way you choose to live your life should match up with how your partner chooses to live theirs. If both of you have the same outlook on how to handle finances, how to raise children, where to live, have similar spiritual practices, and have the same general outlook on life, you will probably be able to maintain the relationship in the long-term.

The main point to take from this is that hobbies and interests change, while core values and beliefs usually don’t. Having these in common is key to making relationships last, according to a study done by researchers at Michigan State University.

Your soul mate sparks passion in you

When someone inspires you to bring out your best self and create from your heart, there’s a good chance that they could be a soul mate. This person will not suppress or distract you from your inner desires, but rather act as a catalyst to help you propel into the life you’ve always dreamed of.

You and your soul mate have the potential to become the best versions of your own selves, giving way for growth that you’ve only imagined. They know the importance of seeing you fully live (not just exist) as your best self, and will take the positive steps necessary to help you see your passion come to life.

You communicate comfortably with your soul mate

You can be confident that you may have found a soul mate when your words towards each other are kind and loving (more often than not). Of course, you’ll have your ups and downs, but if kind communication is consistent, you have a winning formula. You also know that you can tell your partner ANYTHING without being judged or criticized.

Likewise, you can be honest and expect understanding and love. If you feel like you cannot be open and honest, even during a moment of “human error”, that’s a sign of someone who may not match the energy of your soul.

Romance / Top 5 Qualities To Tell If He Is An Husband Material by tweetsme(m): 10:35am On Jul 12, 2016
If He Doesn’t Have These 5 Qualities, He’s NOT Husband Material – Especially, if he’s lacking the Number 1 and number 4 listed qualities on this page (in this article)

There are certain signs that plainly points out to a lady, if the Man you’re dating is the right person for you or not. There are general qualities that make a man much more appealing, desirable as a husband and more successful as a life partner.

Today, i want to show you, the top best six qualities you should look for in a man before ever deciding to marry him. Ensure he has the qualities before you decided to settled down, except you want a divorce in the nearest future. This article will stand as a pinpoint and compass, to show you the right way.

1. He shares important core values with you

Values are those ‘rules of life’ that inherently guide the way you live your life. They’re deeply rooted in personal beliefs that are fundamental to who you are. They’re also very difficult to change.

Connecting on a spiritual, emotional and value level with a man you wish to marry is a key indicator for long-term marital success. When you and your partner know that you are on the “same page,” you’ll feel more confident that he’s truly the man you want to marry.

When you both think ahead into the marriage and know you can respect each other’s perspective on important marital issues (such as family dynamics, child rearing, finance, in-laws, roles and responsibilities), you know you’re making the right choice.
2. He’s emotionally mature

A responsible, emotionally intelligent man who can control his impulses shows true maturity. As such, he likely has the capacity to deal with the change, disappointment, stress and conflict that life (and marriage) invariably bring.

A well-grounded man with a sense of balance can confront life and face ups (and especially downs) in a constructive way while remaining a resilient, supportive and engaging partner. Look for a man who can respond to a challenging issue responsibly, rather than react to it impulsively.
3. He appreciates you and accepts your shortcomings

The old saying “Happy wife, happy life!” is true and valid (and, it goes both ways, too … “happy spouse” equals “happy house”).

Appreciation goes a long way when creating a happy relationship. In fact, feeling appreciated is a primary quality of happy life. If you don’t feel appreciated or loved by your man, you’re paddling into dangerous waters. But when he openly demonstrates his respect and appreciation for you (with his words and actions), you know you’ll live a happy life with your man.

That said, while he appreciate your qualities (good cook, caring, social, engaged, supportive etc.), he should also accept your shortcoming (little messy, not so organized, talking a bit too much, not being on time etc.). He must deeply recognize and accept that no one is perfect (including him). His overall view of you should be positive.
4. He manages conflict well

Arguments, disagreements, and conflict are not only unavoidable parts of any relationship, but also are necessary ingredients to forming a strong, lasting intimacy.

Many couples communicate in a destructive way that leads to frustration, anger, and disconnection. Many other couples avoid having meaningful discussions at all to avoid fighting. But, healthy communication is the basis of any successful relationship.

One of the most important factors that helps couples thrive is their ability to deal with different conflicts, manage difficult emotions (such disappointment, frustration and anger), de-escalate arguments, and disagree with respect.

A man who shares his thoughts and feelings with you without reservation; a man who talks things out with you; a man who discuss difficult subjects with you and can disagree yet still come to some kind a resolution is a man who has healthy communication skills and will make a great husband.

Family / Top Questions Pregnant Moms Love To Ask by tweetsme(m): 8:59pm On Jul 11, 2016
Real talk: The idea of getting pregnant and giving birth is terrifying — namely because we don’t know WTF you do after you pee on a stick and realize you are indeed up the duff.

Which is why Cosmopolitan UK enlisted the help of Jane Mason, an ex-National Health Service midwife and owner of Natural Birthing Company, to answer 14 questions every twentysomething has about pregnancy and giving birth that don’t usually get answered.
1. “Will sex feel differently after giving birth?”

“In all honesty it will — not necessarily worse — just different. Your vagina may feel a little looser initially but by doing plenty of pelvic floor exercises regularly the tone will return.

“Initially there can be some discomfort, so make sure you feel ready to try and explain this to your partner so they are aware to take things slowly. It’s a good idea to try intercourse before you have your six week check-up with your GP so you have a chance to report any issues to them. You may experience some vaginal dryness due to your hormones, especially if breastfeeding — so get some lube ready! Lots of women report that after the initial discomfort is resolved, sex ends up feeling better than before. They are more sensitive down there and enjoy more orgasms than before, so it’s not all bad news.”
2. “Will my vagina tear at all?”

Your vagina is a large muscle that has the ability to stretch to accommodate the baby as you give birth. It tends to be more common to tear on the perineum which is the area of between your vagina and anus because this has a lot of stretching to do as the baby comes out. There is less chance of tearing if you avoid giving birth lying/sitting down, if the birth of the baby’s head is slow and controlled, and if you did perineal massages during pregnancy.
3. “When I find out I’m pregnant, what do I do first?”

Think about the date of your last period and then put it into a calculator online. It will tell you how many weeks pregnant you are. Ring your GP and ask to make an appointment to see the midwife — they may want to know the date of your last period so they know how quick to get you in to see her. Ideally it’s best to see her between eight to 12 weeks pregnant.

If you haven’t already been taking the recommended pregnancy supplements since you started trying for a baby (or maybe this baby was a surprise), then it’s best to start taking 400 micrograms of folic acid daily until 12 weeks, as this helps to protect your baby from neural tube defects like spina bifida. Ten micrograms of vitamin D daily is now also recommended in pregnancy, but make sure you don’t take any vitamin A supplements as these can harm your baby.
4. “How do I choose a hospital?”

“You don’t have to give birth in a hospital. You could have a home birth, then the midwife comes to you instead. However the best way to choose a hospital is to ask friends and family of their experiences there. It’s not always about what birth they ended up with although this is important, but it’s also about how the staff was and what the facilities were like. Some hospitals have separate birthing rooms set up specifically aimed at natural births with pools, soft lighting, and music.

Every week it seems like you hear about another woman being shamed for breastfeeding in public. Well, for anyone who feels compelled to criticize or shun a mom who's just taking care of her kid, here are 10 things breastfeeding moms want you to know.

1. Breastfeeding is fucking hard. Sure, there were magical moments breastfeeding each of my children when I felt ~in harmony~. But for many women (including me), breastfeeding is about as easy as putting lip liner on a thrashing, slippery ten-pound trout. You have to worry about different positions, latching, having a good supply, cracked nipples, mastitis (that's a painful infection that affects breast tissue), nursing strikes (when your baby outright refuses to be fed), and then worrying about worrying too much, because relaxing is the best thing for you and baby after all! So, while breastfeeding can be wonderful, it can also be challenging. We don't need anyone making it even harder.

2. Babies have to eat all the time. You know that thing where you have to eat food in order to continue living? Same with babies! And we moms are responsible for that, which is a tall order. Imagine going about your day and then having to stop whatever it is you're doing to do jumping jacks for 10 to 60 minutes — every two hours. And then, imagine that if you don't do those jumping jacks, the thing most precious to you in the world will die or at the very least will scream in agony like a howler monkey until you resume said jumping jacks. That is the basic schedule of a new mom. Oh, plus she has to clothe, change, nurture, and comfort her baby. On top of that, she has to clothe, nurture, feed, and comfort herself, so that she's strong enough to do those things for her child. So, you tell me, how the Bleep is she supposed to do all of that without ever feeding her baby outside her house?

3. Breasts were made for this — not the thing that you've decided they are for. Listen, I know society likes to think that women's bodies are not our own. Women feel that every time we're catcalled or groped or maybe raped and then our rapist barely gets a slap on the wrist. If you've bought into that and think that a breast is mainly for sexual arousal, I must tell you that you have been misled. I checked with both biology and logic, and it turns out that the reason women have breasts is actually not so that other people can motorboat them — it's so we can feed our babies!

4. Many babies refuse to eat under a cover. And they shouldn't have to eat in a bathroom stall just because you, Shamer McShamerston, are an idiot. I mean, would you like to eat with a hot blanket covering your face? Would you like to eat in the same space someone else just took a shit? I'm guessing not.

5. Not every mother can pump and not every baby takes a bottle. Not that this matters, because every mother should be able to feed her baby whenever and however she wants, but some people still say, "Well, I would just pump a bottle for my baby, that way I wouldn't offend anyone." Good for you! However, many women don't make enough milk to pump extra. My milk had too much of an enzyme called lipase, so it wouldn't stay palatable for my baby for long once pumped. Also, many babies won't take a bottle. But why should a mom worry about pumping, storing, and transporting milk when she can just feed her child with the perfectly designed vessel that is her body?

6. Nursing in public is not some politically charged, sly mission to get your attention or piss you off. Contrary to your brilliant conspiracy theory, we're not trying to intimidate or arouse or do anything other than feed a tiny fragile baby. Actually, while we're breastfeeding, we don't want your attention in any way, shape, or form!

7. If you still feel uncomfortable, just look away. I have such exciting news for you! While you don't have control of all women's bodies, you actually do have control of your eyes and what they see! There are a lot of things that make me uncomfortable to see, like stains on white fabric, spiders, and people chewing with their mouths open. But instead of screaming at the spiders for just being all spidery, I simply engage my neck muscles to turn my head like five degrees. But if that is too much work, you can just have those trusty ocular muscles shift your eyeballs slightly to the right or left of the super-offensive breast (which is presumably already covered by the baby's head). See, easy!

8. You could always turn your rage toward the real problem. Instead of setting out to solve the world's "exposed breast offenses" one hungry baby at a time, maybe turn your attention toward the millions of advertisements for lingerie, burgers, and spark plugs that inundate us with images depicting women as nothing more than sexual amusement parks. Perhaps ask them to tone it down a notch. What's that? Oh, right, there are no horrifying nipples in those ads! It's just all of the other stuff? OK, I see. Well, great news there: When a baby nurses, his or her mouth and head covers the nipple, so we're square!

Romance / Top 12 Free Recipes For Losing Weight Fast by tweetsme(m): 8:43pm On Jul 09, 2016
These 12 foods will start narrowing your waist the minute they leave your fork and enter your mouth! Make sure these are added to your shopping list on your next trip.

Grapefruit

Vitamin C helps with the proper metabolism of fat, foods rich in it make great choices for burning fat. Eating half a grapefruit for breakfast or about thirty minutes before eating meals will help you feel more full and prevent overeating.

Black Pepper

Piperine, the important substance in Black Pepper, has shown signs of reducing the formation of fat cells in your body. Black pepper also helps to increase your metabolism. This is great news for those Ssck of eating bland food and looking for an easy way to shed some pounds!

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is known to lower blood sugar levels; this can help in suppressing monster appetites. Adding cinnamon to teas, coffee, and yogurt (plain!!) are some easy ways to get it in your system.

Note** Try your best to purchase Ceylon cinnamon; the ingredient Coumarin, found in high amounts in Cassia Cinnamon, is known to have harmful effects on the liver.

Egg

The beauty of eggs is that they are low in calorie and contain 7 grams of protein, as well as other beneficial nutrients. Studies have shown that eating eggs for breakfast will significantly lower the amount of calories you may want to consume later in the day. Although the yolk is high in cholesterol, it does hold its benefits – consuming inmoderation is advised.

Apples (and of course fruits in general)

Fruits are your friends when it comes to losing weight; they offer countless benefits and still satisfy your tastes buds. The beauty of fruit is that it’ll satisfy your sweet tooth and does not harm the body the same way processed sugars do (sugar is the reason people accumulate fat). Apples, when eaten with skin, hold a good amount of fiber and water and help you feel full.

Green Tea

The importance of green tea in battling body fat could not be stressed enough; the phytochemical catechins, found in green tea, is known to speed metabolisms. It is better to consume green tea hot because it will help you lengthen the experience and increase the benefits. Adding honey and lemon to your green tea will not only add to the health factor, but will make the tea incredibly delicious.

Blueberries

If you have been getting your blueberry intake through muffins and pancaks, then you’ve been doing blueberries wrong. Not only are blueberries high in insoluble fiber, antioxidants, and tasty goodness, a half cup worth of them are only worth 40 calories. For something different try blueberries on salads or in smoothies.

Almonds

Although nuts in general will aid in body fat loss, almonds are the best for your wallet. They are packed with protein, fiber, and heart healthy fats. One serving of almonds (about 23) will help you stay full. The best thing about almonds is they’re portable. A serving is easy to carry with you wherever you go so incorporating them in your routine should be easy.
