Oranges

As I'm sitting here eating oranges, I decided to see the benefits of oranges (besides deodorizer and in foods).


For Your Skin & Health:

• The flesh of an orange contains 3.1 grams of fiber
• Orange zest contains 3 grams of fiber
• The skin of the orange contains natural oil - perfect for moisturizing your skin & keeping it young.
• Oranges contain vitamin C - fights cancer
• Orange peels help lower your cholesterol and keep blood pressure at the normal rate
• Oranges contain Beta-carotene - protects skin cells from getting damaged

Music that will make you slimmer!

I received the newest copy of Self Magazine the other day. I picked it up for the first time today & something caught my eye: "Weight Loss Playlist: Music Proven to Slim You Down Faster". Whaattt?!?!?!? According to the magazine, "science says listening to tunes signals your muscles and mind to wake up ---it's like a jolt of caffeine, with a melody!" There's also a "to burn 150 calories" chart & a "to burn 200 calories" chart. It has songs listed, how long they are, and the speed you should walk while listening. I think I'm in need of some new tunes ;)

If you want to save one/all of the charts, just right-click & save it :)
Happy summer!
