It seems like one of the slow & bluey Mondays..
I am in a mood to read book.
As usual..
The ones in where the characters
are born in a king and queen era.
The rebellious Hero & The stubborn Heroine!
Haha..or maybe more to the Suspense thriller
yet with a tint of romance!
LoL..

Well..Since I cant grab a book..
I was checking a few cool stuff..
and heres some for your view!

What is My Ayurvedic Diet Type?

Vata

In Ayurveda, Vata is a cold dosha governed by air and ether.
"Vatas tend to be light, fast, wiry, creative people,"
says Amadea Morningstar,
author of The Ayurvedic Cookbook.
Although you're more prone to being underweight from poor digestion,
you can put on extra pounds if you eat too many sugary foods.
(Haha..Thats so true..
Especially when we tend to get
into one of those mood swings
& start binging!)

Celebrity Vatas: Gwyneth Paltrow

, Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts.

Vata diet plan

"Choose warming foods and spices," says Morningstar,
and avoid cold or frozen foods and drinks.
Warm cooked whole grains, soups and hot drinks are especially healing.
Vatas should avoid raw foods, which are cold and take more energy to digest.
Also stay away from foods that create gas and causes Vata to be out of balance.
(hehe..Yogurts & Sundaes! yum yum!Sinful Pleasures)

Eat more of:

Fruits: Avocados, bananas, berries, cherries, grapes, lemons

Vegetables: Asparagus, beets, carrots, cucumbers, green leafy vegetables, peas, seaweeds, sweet potatoes

Meat / Fish: Chicken, seafood, turkey

Grains: Oats, quinoa, rice, wheat

Spices: Cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, ginger, mustard seed

Warm foods such as soups and stews

What is My Body Type?

An Endomorph

Endomorphs are generally
pear-shaped and curvy,
with shoulders narrower
than their hips.
Although this body type
tends to store fat
around the thighs,
hips and lower abdomen,
endomorphs who keep in
shape are blessed
with
A sexy and
curvaceous figure.
(Ehem!)

Famous Endomorphs

Jennifer Lopez, Liz Hurley and Oprah Winfrey

Diet Strategy:
Endomorphs should stay away
high-carb sugary,
fatty and high-calorie foods,
and instead load up on fiber,
very lean protein
(such as skinless chicken meat)
and water.
It's also best to take frequent
but light meals to rev up
your metabolism.
Training Strategy:
Endomorphs would benefit
well from 30-60 minutes of moderately intense
aerobic activities
three to six times a week
for fat- and calorie-burning.
Sticking to a total-body weight
training routine two to three times a week
(using light to moderate weight)
helps add muscle tone.
To add definition to your upper body,
you may want to double up
on upper-body exercises.
