Friends and family members commend your empowering and positive attitude. As a lover, you are very sexy and above average! After all, red is the color of passion and power.

4. Choosing to open the OWL door means:

Your family and friends treasure you because of your big heart and tender personality. Those of the opposite sex are drawn to you, which is not surprising, given your boldness and self-confidence.

Did you know that how we perceive images can tell us a lot about our personality? For many decades, images have been used in psychological tests; one example would be the infamous Rorschach Inkblot Test. It was primarily a method to examine personality characteristics and emotional health as well.

Seeing a girl in the photo means that you are inventive. Many people think that you have a special kind of charm, perhaps this is because of the fact that your mysteriousness draws people in closer to you. They are curious about you and you know it, which is why you tend to use this as a chance to build relationships.

Even though you are not the type who would share everything about yourself easily, this does not mean that you do not open yourself up to love. Once you have found someone whom your heart desires, you learn to trust them bit by bit.

You are also quite generous to anyone who is in need!

Apart from being kind and helpful, you also have the ability to judge fairly and rationally – a rare characteristic for someone who tends to connect with their emotions often.

Sight Outside

• Are Considerate and unselfish towards others

Many people look up to you and are convinced that you are an accountable person because you make decisions quickly and stick to them firmly no matter what.

Many people are strongly convinced that eggs cause high cholesterol, which is why many stay away from eating them too often. Nutritionists also often recommend avoiding eggs when giving advice on weight loss.

But despite the bad reputation of eggs, various studies still claim that a good and healthy breakfast should include an egg – boiled, fried, sunny-side up or even an omelet. Chicken eggs are high in cholesterol, but the effect of egg consumption on blood cholesterol levels is minimal compared to both trans and saturated fats. Many doctors believe the high sodium bacon, ham and sausage that is regularly consumed with eggs are more to blame. For those who are still in doubt, read on to find out 9 surprising health benefits of eating eggs daily:

9 Health Facts About Eggs:

1. Decreased Cardiovascular Health Risks

Did you know that an egg contains 400 mg of cholesterol? Those figures can scare off even those who love eggs! High cholesterol is a health concern as it can lead to coronary failure. However, the good news is that the 400 mg of cholesterol found in eggs cannot increase the cholesterol level in our bodies.

In fact, a mere ⅓ of the cholesterol found in our blood vessels are from the nutrition in the food we eat. Most of the cholesterol is actually being produced by our own bodies. But this does not mean that we can consume as much as we want. Ingesting greater amounts of cholesterol can also slow down the process of cholesterol production in our bodies.

In a research conducted by the Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 152 overweight participants were divided into 3 groups. The first group had to choose what they wanted for breakfast, the second group had 2 eggs while the third group had bagels.

Surprisingly, the second group managed to lose 35% of their body fat and 65% more of their weight compared to the other groups. Even more surprisingly, their cholesterol levels did not change at all.

2. Rich In Folic Acid and Decreased Risk of Birth Defects

Studies show that eggs are rich in vitamin B9 – with one egg containing on average 0.7 micrograms. Vitamin B9 is also known as folic acid.

Pregnant mothers are advised to record their folic acid levels regularly. Any insufficiency of folic acid throughout pregnancy could cause nervous system damage to the baby. In some cases, the spinal cord can also develop deformed.

Eating an egg a day should supply the necessary amount of folic acid the body needs.

3. Slower Rate of Aging

A study conducted by Charite, a medical center located in Berlin, states that free-range eggs are a good weapon against skin cancer. The same study also says that it can also slow down aging.

Research faculty members, Professor Jürgen Lademann and Dr. Karoline Hesterberg, discovered that free-range eggs contain an increased level of yellow organic pigments. These pigments are  rich in carotenoids, which are antioxidants.

These carotenoids are said to be beneficial when it comes to slowing down aging. The body is not capable of producing carotenoids on its own, so an egg is the easiest source of such an antioxidant.

However, in order to truly benefit from eggs, it is important to learn how to cook them for such a purpose. Professor Lindemann states that a well-cooked egg contains more carotenoids than a raw one.

4. Decreases The Chance Of Cancer

According to a study by the “Breast Cancer Research”, a daily dose of eggs can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 18% – especially among teenage girls.

It is a known fact that eggs are rich in vitamins, minerals and also amino acids. Amino acid levels can affect a woman’s estrogen levels as well, which often have links to breast cancer.

5. A Good Choice For Your Liver, Hair, and Skin

Among the many types of vitamins found in eggs, it’s also important to note that eggs are a good source of vitamin B12, protein, and biotin – all of which are beneficial for hair and skin. Egg yolks are also said to contain sulfur and protein which aids in getting rid of dull hair.

Eggs are also rich in lecithin, a component that is good for improving intestinal problems and helps with detoxification.

6. Maintains Healthy Eyes

Many people are not aware that eggs are also quite beneficial to our eyes. They are rich in carotenoids, zeaxanthin, vitamin A, and lutein, all of which aid in maintaining healthy eyes.

Zeaxanthin and lutein are primarily responsible for protecting our eyes from free radicals, and they are also important for color vision and night vision. Vitamin A is known to be essential for light and dark vision.

Having a decreased level of zeaxanthin and lutein can lead to eye tissue damage, cataracts, and macular degeneration as well.

7. Quicker Weight Loss

Did you know that proteins have a lower glycemic index than carbohydrates? Blood sugar levels tend to rise after consuming foods that have a high glycemic index. After a sudden drop in blood sugar levels, one would most likely feel hungry quicker.

In order to avoid this, it is recommended to include low glycemic index foods in your diet. The glycemic index of an egg is 0, which makes it a perfect addition to your meal.

8. Improved Digestion and A Secured Mind

Eggs are rich in choline; a supplement that is required for various metabolic procedures. Choline is transformed into acetylcholine (e.g. the neurotransmitter) which is needed to transmit stimuli to our mind and also our sensory system.

By eating 2 eggs each day, you’ll get the correct measure of choline for ideal health.

9. Higher Calcium Levels and Solid Bones

If you are keen on obtaining solid teeth and bones, you need to make sure you’re getting enough calcium and vitamin D. An examination by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in Bethesda Maryland found that when proteins and calcium are joined, people are able to maintain solid calcium levels.

Eggs contain a lot of vitamin D, which encourages our body to ingest calcium in a more effective manner.

Based on this information, we can conclude that eggs are still good for our health. Try to buy your eggs from organic farms as they are free from chemicals, and free-range eggs come from animals that have been free from unnecessary suffering and stress.

Despite the many health benefits of eggs, there are individuals with certain medical issues that ought to abstain from eating 2 or 3 eggs each day. Such individuals may be suffering from heart issues, or are diabetic. In these cases, it is suggested that they eat up to 3 eggs each week.

Everyone has their own personal routine when it comes to washing in the shower. Some start with their chest and arms, some with their face and hair, but we all begin somewhere.

It is believed that your shower routine is connected to certain aspects of your personality. Which part do you start out washing first?

CHEST:

You are a practical, direct and straightforward person. Convenience makes you feel comfortable and beating around the bush is not something you do. When you’re focused on something, being distracted is quite irritating and you can be somewhat impatient with people who do not see things your way. In terms of your love life, you match well with those who wash their hair first.

FACE:

Making money is one of your primary motivations, and many of your goals are built around achieving financial success. You see your plans as often more important than the plans of others, so if friends cannot adhere to your schedule, the two of you often can’t meet. The strengths of not caring what people think is self-confidence, but without remembering to be kind to others, it’s possible others can view you as self-centered. Your could have some selfish tendencies in your love life, but the one you’re dating most likely places a high value on you and wants to stay anyway. Your best match is with those who wash their ‘privates’ and others first.

HAIR:

Creativity and artistic would be two words to describe you. Your daydreaming has resulted in very creative expressions and a uniqueness that others have trouble duplicating. Your dedication to ordinary things is not very strong as things lacking excitement can easily lose your interest, but your goals on the other hand receive your full attention. You value intellectual friends over money. For your love life, you are highly sought after as your energy is beautiful and passionate. Your best partner is those who chose chest and privates to wash first.

ARMPITS:

You are known for your dependability and aren’t afraid of doing hard work to get what you want. You value real and tangible qualities, and have a solid foundation. You are popular within your social circle and love to help others. Your judge of character isn’t always 100% accurate and sometimes things don’t always go the way you planned in your relationships, but you always have a large circle of people to fill your schedule. Your best match is those who chose shoulders.

PRIVATES:

You are known to be shy around people you don’t know too well. Self confidence has been a struggle at times even though your emotional landscape is quite a beautiful thing to behold. You give up too easily at times so a little training in perseverance is necessary. There’s something people can’t quite understand that draws them to you, yet you don’t show your feelings to just anyone. Close, intimate and passionate relationships give you strength as you are able to open up fully. Your best match is with those who chose face and hair.

SHOULDERS:

Sometimes excessive in what you like to do, being extreme is something you’re drawn towards. Whether it’s in sports, gambling or eating, thrills excite you. You tend to get discouraged by failure, even though it is just a stepping stone to success. Negative habits can be easy to pickup when being a thrill-seeker, so remember to take care of yourself. Your best match is with those who chose hair.

OTHERS:

You are likely still unaware of your inner strengths, but regardless of what you’ve learned, they are there. Deep within you is a person to be loved by many, you just need to follow your heart and open up a little bit more. An average love life applies to others, unless they are willing to get serious in reading books on relationship techniques and psychology. Your best match is those who chose to wash face.

Many Japanese women are known to drink water each day immediately after waking up, and researchers have begun to wonder if this habit is partially related to the country’s high amount of toned bodies and low rates of obesity.

Drinking water daily after waking is known to have many health benefits, and is known to prevent many different types of disorders as well, so maybe it’s time we learn a thing or two about ‘water treatment’ from our neighbors in Japan.




70% of the human body is made up of water, so it’s essential to hydrate as often as possible. When the body’s water requirement is not met, it can lead to many negative short-term and long-term consequences such as migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, obesity, and kidney stones.

Staying hydrated by drinking water helps to avoid these conditions, and you can stay healthy for years to come.

How To Start Using The ‘Water Treatment’

• Drink 2-4 160ml glasses of water as your first activity after waking up. In the beginning this may feel like a lot, so start small and work your way up. Eventually your body will be comfortable with drinking more and more water each morning.
• Don’t eat anything for the next 45 minutes.
• Make sure to drink water again within 30 minutes before eating breakfast, lunch and dinner.

These Are The Five Main Benefits From Drinking Water Each Morning On An Empty Stomach:

1. Improves Metabolism

Drinking water on an empty stomach increases your metabolism by as much as 30%. The increase in metabolism means calories are burned faster signaling weight loss, and also an improved digestive system.

2. Rids The Body Of Toxins

Water naturally brings about bowel movements, and after your body has spent a night resting and repairing itself it has also set aside toxins that are ready to be washed out. Drinking water flushes out these potentially harmful toxins and increases the production of new blood cells and muscle cells.

3. Promotes Healthy Weight Loss

Drinking water in the morning causes cravings for food to decrease, thus giving you a 2 for 1: increased metabolism and less food intake, both of which help tremendously for weight loss. If lowering your weight is a goal, then drinking water in the mornings needs to be on your to-do list.

4. Alleviates Heartburn and Indigestion

Indigestion occurs when the acidity levels in the stomach rise, and heartburn occurs when the acid refluxes into the oesophagus. By drinking water on an empty stomach, acid is both diluted and washed back down into the stomach. Water consumption also helps to prevent kidney stones and bladder infections.

5. Improved Skin Complexion And Shinier Hair

While dehydration causes wrinkles and deep pores, hydration increases blood flow in the skin and creates a healthier looking ‘glow’. The increased consumption of water also causes more toxins to be released, making skin appear more radiant over time. Drinking water also hydrates the hair, which itself is over 25% water.

If any of these benefits seem useful to you, then here’s a water ‘Cheers!’ to start your mornings.
