Little-known natural cures for toenail fungus and natural remedies that will finally get rid of your unsightly looking toenails and give you new nails that shine!</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
<a href="http://www.healthdigezt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/image149.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; border: 0px none; color: #444444; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;"><img alt="image" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5718" height="171" src="http://www.healthdigezt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/image149-300x171.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(203, 205, 204); display: inline; float: left; height: auto; list-style: none; margin: 2px 8px 3px 3px; max-width: 100%; outline: none; padding: 4px;" width="300" /></a><br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />Let’s be honest, toenail fungus is a ghastly and hideous looking problem.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
What Is Toenail Fungus And How Do You Treat It?</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Toenail fungus is exactly what its name says – a fungus. And the only way to kill a fungus is with a combination of oral and topical treatments. Most books and web sites only give you topical treatments for toenail fungus, and although these will work, if you don’t cure the problem internally as well you will eventually see your fungus return.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Home Remedies and Natural Cures for Toenail Fungus That Really Work…</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
So here are the most potent internal and external natural remedies for toenail fungus you are going to find.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Remember though… for any treatment to work you must be consistent in your efforts. If you are, you will see your toenail fungus vanish in just a few short months… and be gone forever!</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Olive Leaf Extract: Olive leaf extract is an amazing “cure all” substance. It’s called “natures natural antibiotic” because dozens of research findings have found olive leaf extract to be the only substance discovered so far that can actually kill every virus, bacteria, fungus and protozoa it gets tested against!</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Olive leaf extract is known to control and treat fungus problems such as candida and tinea, along with being one of the ultimate natural cures for toenail fungus. The reason it works so well is it destroys the fungus from the inside out, as well as killing any bacteria or parasites which may be unknowingly living in your body (you would be astounded to find just how many dangerous and life-threatening parasites actually grow and breed in your body).</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
So olive leaf extract has a twofold benefit. It not only kills the fungus, it will cleanse and detox the body so you will find yourself with more energy and developing less illness such as colds and flu.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Probiotics: Without enough “friendly” flora such as the lactobacillus bacteria residing in our bodies, the “bad” bacteria will easily gain dominance. This allows fungi to grow and thrive uncontrolled.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
The lactobacillus bacteria produces a potent substance which kills the bad bacteria along with any viruses, protozoa and fungi. This includes candida fungus and nail fungus.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
So be sure to also take a natural pro-biotic supplement every day to kill the fungus from the inside out (this does not include sugar or artificial sweetener filled commercial yogurt’s, or any “gimmick” pro-biotic supplements such as Yokult).</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Your local health food store should be able to help you out with this or places such as Amazon stock a wide variety.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Gelatine, silica, biotin, vitamin C and essential fatty acids: None of these are actually natural cures for toenail fungus as such. However, what they will do is keep your nails, and your skin and hair, looking shiny and healthy. These nutrients are all needed for nail health, so what will happen is as the old nail grows out, the new one will come along and it will look the best you’ve ever seen!</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Gelatine can be bought from health food stores or your local pharmacy. Essential fatty acids should come from fish oil, cod liver oil or evening primrose oil (this is especially recommended for females). The other nutrients should preferably come from a good liquid colloidal mineral supplement or a specific “skin, hair and nail” supplement available from most health food stores or online.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) and Epsom salt:</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
233<br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />This topical home remedy works really well for toenail fungus. Soak your foot with 1/3 of a cup of full strength apple cider vinegar, two cups of hot water and 1/3 of a cup of Epsom salt once or twice a day for at least 30 minutes (it’s easily done while watching TV or on the computer). The longer you can soak your feet for this the better.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Also, drink apple cider vinegar every day as it’s a potent internal fungus and bacterial killer. Just make sure it’s organic apple cider vinegar that still contains the “mother” apple. Mix up two tablespoons of ACV with a teaspoon of manuka honey in a warm glass of filtered water. If you find you can’t handle the taste of the ACV liquid, take the tablets or capsules instead.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Borax Powder (Boric Acid) and Baking Soda: Borax and baking soda kill all types of fungus, whether they be internally or externally located. And as a natural cure for toenail fungus and athletes foot, they work a real treat!</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Mix up some borax powder with baking soda (and water) to make a paste. Then simply wet the feet and toenails and rub with the borax/baking soda mix twice daily.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Be aware that borax powder has actually been band in some countries so you will need to check and see if it’s available in your particular area. You can usually find borax at your local supermarket in the cleaning section or you can purchase boric acid online.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
For more information on borax and it’s amazing healing properties we recommend you click on the link here. It’s well worth the read!… health-science/the borax miracle.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Listerine mouth wash: Yes I know, this is technically not a natural remedy for toenail fungus but it works extremely well so we’ve included it here. Soak toes and feet in Listerine with two cups of hot water at least once a day for 30 minutes. Because Listerine is such a powerful antiseptic, it kills the fungus fast!</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Tea tree oil: Living in Australia, this oil is easily available for us but in some countries it’s quite hard to get. If you have access to tea tree oil then simply clean the nail with alcohol first and then apply the tea tree oil after. Do this at least once a day and you will see almost immediate benefits (this is the treatment my wife used with great success).</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Emery boards and scissors: To achieve maximum results with any natural remedies and topical treatments for toenail fungus, it’s absolutely essential that you keep the nail trimmed short and filed every week. Also remember to disinfect the scissors beforehand so the fungus doesn’t spread to your other nails when you trim them and discard the emery boards after each use.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
…Note: You can use only one or two of the topical treatments listed here or a combination of some or all of them. Just remember though that you will have to continue with the treatment until the old nail has completely grown out or your nail fungus will return. With the internal treatments, you really need to use all of them or you won’t get lasting results (or be as healthy) so don’t scrimp on any of those.</div>

The 5-minute Recipe To Boost Your Immune System

This super simple recipe contains all the ingredients you need to give your immune system a quick boost! And a single dose is all you need to recover from the onset of a cold.  It contains garlic, cayenne pepper, lemon and honey. You probably expected more but this is all you need to ward of viruses and boost your immune system.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So why does it work?  As we all know, garlic is a hundred times stronger than antibiotics in combating bacterial diseases, colds and flus.  This is likely due to its immune boosting effects as well as  garlic’s potent antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties.   Cayenne pepper contains <i style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">capsaicin </i>which can open up your sinuses, fight inflammation, cardiovascular support, helps with ulcers, boosts immune system and metabolism.  “Cayenne pepper’s bright red color signals its high content of beta-carotene or pro-vitamin A.   Just two teaspoons of cayenne pepper provide 47% of the daily value for vitamin A. Often called the anti-infection vitamin, vitamin A is essential for healthy epithelial tissues including the mucous membranes that line the nasal passages, lungs, intestinal tract and urinary tract and serve as the body’s first line of defense against invading pathogens.” <a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=140" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease 0s; border: 0px; color: #5c995e; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">source.  </a>  The honey and lemon also have the reputation, in terms of healing. Together they form a veritable elixir that will set you free from your cold or flu.</div>

You’d love to have a flat belly for the party tonight, but thanks to one too many sodas or that basket of tortilla chips, zipping your pants is a real struggle. Abdominal bloating not only looks bad, but can cause physical discomfort. The good news? Experts say stomach bloating is a condition you can avoid pretty easily.<br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />We’re not talking about extra pounds of stomach fat here, but the temporary abdominal distention that plagues most everyone from time to time. Unless your stomach bloating is because of a medical condition, such as liver or heart disease, the only real cause is intestinal gas not “water weight,” says Michael Jensen, MD, an endocrinologist and obesity researcher at Mayo Clinic.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“It is a myth that bloating in the stomach is from fluid accumulation in healthy adults, because the abdomen is not a place where fluids accumulate first,” Jensen says. “Instead, you would see it in your feet or ankles as long as you are upright.”<br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />So what causes gas to accumulate and wreak havoc on how you feel and look? Experts say there are several causes, from food intolerances to constipation.</div>

Flat Belly Tip No. 1: Avoid Constipation.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Too little fiber, fluids, and physical activity can lead to constipation, which can result in bloating, Jensen says.<br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />To avoid this, eat a diet high in fiber (25 daily grams for women and 38 for men) from whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Also, drink plenty of fluids (aim for 6-8 glasses a day) and aim for physical activity for at least 30 minutes, five times a week.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
If you’re eating a low-fiber diet, gradually bump up the fiber level, making sure you also drink plenty of fluids for better tolerance.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 2: Rule Out Wheat Allergies or Lactose Intolerance.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Food allergies and intolerances can cause gas and bloating, but these need to be confirmed by your doctor. Many people self-diagnose these conditions and unnecessarily eliminate healthy dairy and whole grains from their diets. If you suspect you have an allergy or intolerance, see your doctor for tests.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
You may benefit from reducing the amount of the suspected food and/or eating it with other foods. In the case of dairy, it can help to choose aged cheeses and yogurts, which are lower in lactose.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 3: Don’t Eat Too Fast.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Eating quickly and not chewing your food well can cause air swallowing that leads to bloating, says Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.<br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />So slow down and enjoy your food. Your meals should last at least 30 minutes. Also, keep in mind that digestion begins in the mouth, and you can decrease bloating just by chewing your food more, Blatner says.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
There’s another benefit to slowing things down: When you take your time to thoroughly chew and taste your food, your snack or meal becomes more satisfying. And studies have shown that if you eat more slowly, you may end up eating less.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 4: Don’t Overdo Carbonated Drinks.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
The fizz in carbonated drinks (even diet ones) can cause gas to get trapped in your belly, Blatner says.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Instead, drink water flavored with lemon, lime, or cucumber. Or just reduce the number of fizzy drinks you consume each day. Try some peppermint tea for a soothing beverage that may help reduce bloat.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 5: Don’t Overdo Chewing Gum.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Chewing gum can also lead to swallowing air, which can cause bloating.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
If you’ve got a gum habit, alternate chewing gum with sucking on a piece of hard candy or eating a healthy, high-fiber snack like fruit, vegetables, or lower-fat popcorn.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 6: Watch Out for Sugar-Free Foods.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Many of my patients suffer from bloating because they consume too much sugar alcohol in artificially sweetened foods and drinks,” which can lead to bloating, Blatner says.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Experts recommend consuming no more than 2-3 servings per day of artificially sweetened foods and drinks.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 7: Limit Sodium.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Highly processed foods tend to be high in sodium and low in fiber, both of which can contribute to that bloated feeling, Jensen says.<br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />Get in the habit of reading food labels, Blatner advises. When buying processed, canned, or frozen foods, shoot for no more than 500 mg of sodium per serving in any product — or a total of 2,300 mg of sodium per day.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 8: Go Slow with Beans and Gassy Vegetables.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
If you’re not used to eating beans, they can cause that gassy feeling. So can the cruciferous family of vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
That doesn’t mean you should give up on these super-nutritious, high-fiber vegetables.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Don’t be nervous about beans,” Blatner says. “Just work them into your diet slowly until your body adjusts to the compounds that can initially cause gas.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Or, you can take an enzyme product like “Beano,” which can help reduce gas from beans or vegetables.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 9: Eat Smaller Meals More Often</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Instead of three big meals per day, try eating smaller meals more often. This can keep you free of the bloated feeling that often follows large meals (think Thanksgiving). Eating more frequently can also help control blood sugar and manage hunger.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
So go for five to six small meals each day, but make sure the quantity of food and calories are proportionate to your needs. To create a daily meal plan that includes the recommended amounts of all major nutrients, visit the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s “mypyramid” web site.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 10: Try Anti-Bloating Foods and Drinks.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
A few studies suggest that peppermint tea, ginger, pineapple, parsley, and yogurts containing probiotics (“good” bacteria) may help reduce bloating.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“These are safe foods that are good for you when used appropriately, so why not try them and see if they help you de-bloat?” says Blatner, author of The Flexitarian Diet.</div>
<h2 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 30px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
A Final Word About Stomach Fat</h2>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Experts agree that laxatives, water pills, fasting, and skipping meals are not recommended, either to help you de-bloat or lose weight.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
If you’re looking to flatten your belly for the long term, there’s no substitute for losing a few pounds, Jensen says.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“For most everyone, when you lose total body fat, your body reduces belly fat preferentially,” he says. “Even though people lose weight differently, there is a little more lost in the abdominal region than elsewhere.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Experts also say that doing ab exercises all day long won’t get rid of the excess belly. Although you can’t necessarily spot reduce, you can strengthen abdominal muscles with routines like Pilates and exercise ball workouts. And, stronger muscles can help your belly appear flatter.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Toning and strengthening the abdominal muscles can help you look less fat [and] improve your appearance, muscle tone, and posture, which is also very good for your back,” Jensen says.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Dark coloration of the skin in the underarms region is usually not a disease or medical condition. Dark underarms can be thought of as the skin’s response to exposure to certain elements, similar to a suntan that results from exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Some of the main causes of dark underarms are <strong style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">shaving, regular use of hair removing creams, excessive sweating, poor ventilation of underarms, accumulation of dead skin cells, and use of alcohol-based deodorants and antiperspirants</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
You can easily get rid of dark underarms using simple home remedies that are safe, effective, natural and affordable.</div>

However, at times dark underarms may also be as a result of a medical condition that is known as acanthosis nigricans which is often associated with insulin resistance, obesity, hormonal disorders, certain medications, and cancer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
If your dark underarms are caused by this condition then you must consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.</div>

1. Potato</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
The mild acidic property present in potatoes is a <a href="http://www.top10homeremedies.com/how-to/get-rid-hyperpigmentation.html" style="color: #20c10b; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;">great natural bleaching agent</a>. Unlike strong bleaching agents, it will not cause skin irritation.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Simply rub a thin slice of potato on your underarms.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">You can also grate the potato and apply the juice to the affected area, allow it to dry for 15 to 20 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water.</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Use either of these remedies twice daily for better and faster results.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 7px 0px 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
2. Cucumber</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Just like potatoes, cucumbers also have natural bleaching properties to help lighten discolored skin.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Simply rub a thin cucumber slice on your underarms or grate a cucumber and apply the juice under your arms. Do this once or twice daily until you are satisfied with the results.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Another option is to extract the juice from a cucumber and mix it with a little turmeric powder and lemon juice. Apply this paste on the affected area. Leave it on for 30 minutes, and then wash it off with water. Repeat this home remedy once daily or every other day for best results.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 7px 0px 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
3. Lemon</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Lemon works as a natural bleach and a powerful antibacterial and antiseptic agent. This is why lemon is used in the treatment of various skin-related problems including dark underarms. Lemon can dry out your skin, so apply a moisturizer after using these remedies if needed.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">To remove dead skin cells and lighten your underarms, rub a lemon wedge on the skin for a few minutes. Leave the juice on your skin for about 10 minutes and then wash the area thoroughly. For better exfoliation, you can sprinkle a little sugar on the lemon wedge and then use it. Do this a few times a week.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Another option is to mix a little turmeric powder, honey or plain yogurt in some lemon juice and apply it to your underarms. Leave it on for about 10 minutes and then wash it off. Repeat three or four times a week.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 7px 0px 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
4. Baking Soda</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Baking soda can be used to make an exfoliating scrub to get rid of dark underarms. This will help remove dead skin cells, which is one of the main causes of dark underarms. It will also help unclog skin pores.</div>
<ol style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Mix baking soda and water to make a thick paste.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Use this paste to scrub your underarms.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Wash it off and pat dry the area thoroughly.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Repeat a few times a week.</li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
You can also apply a light dusting of equal parts of baking soda and cornstarch to neutralize body odor.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 7px 0px 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
5. Orange Peel</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Orange peels can be used to lighten the skin under your arms, thanks to their skin lightening and exfoliating properties.</div>
<ol style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Put some orange peels in the sun for a few days until they dry out completely.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Grind the dried peels into powder form.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Mix two teaspoons of powdered orange peels with enough rose water and milk to make a thick paste.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Gently scrub your underarms with the paste and then leave it on for about 10 to 15 minutes.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Finally, wash the area with cold water.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Repeat the process two or three times a week.</li>
</ol>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 7px 0px 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
6. Coconut Oil</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Coconut oil is another good option to get rid of dark underarms. Coconut oil contains vitamin E that can help lighten the underarms. At the same time, it will also work as an effective natural deodorant.</div>
<ol style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Massage the dark underarms with coconut oil.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Wash it off with mild soap and lukewarm water.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Repeat two or three times daily until you achieve the desired results.</li>
</ol>

Everyone knows the keys to losing weight: Eat less and exercise more. Sounds simple enough, but in the context of real life and its demands, it can be anything but simple. So how do successful losers do it? To find out, WebMD asked experts across the country for their best diet tips.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 1: Drink plenty of water or other calorie-free beverages.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. So you can end up eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of water is really what you need.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“If you don’t like plain water, try adding citrus or a splash of juice, or brew infused teas like mango or peach, which have lots of flavor but no calories,” says Cynthia Sass, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 2: Think about what you can add to your diet, not what you should take away.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Start by focusing on getting the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“It sounds like a lot, but it is well worth it, because at the same time you are meeting your fiber goals and feeling more satisfied from the volume of food,” says chef Laura Pansiero, RD.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
You’re also less likely to overeat because fruits and vegetables displace fat in the diet. And that’s not to mention the health benefits of fruits and vegetables. More than 200 studies have documented the disease-preventing qualities of phytochemicals found in produce, says Pansiero.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Her suggestion for getting more: Work vegetables into meals instead of just serving them as sides on a plate.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“I love to take seasonal vegetables and make stir-fries, frittatas, risotto, pilafs, soups, or layer on sandwiches,” Pansiero says. “It is so easy to buy a variety of vegetables and incorporate them into dishes.”</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 3: Consider whether you’re really hungry.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Whenever you feel like eating, look for physical signs of hunger, suggests Michelle May, MD, author of Am I Hungry?</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Hunger is your body’s way of telling you that you need fuel, so when a craving doesn’t come from hunger, eating will never satisfy it,” she says.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
When you’re done eating, you should feel better — not stuffed, bloated, or tired.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Your stomach is only the size of your fist, so it takes just a handful of food to fill it comfortably,” says May.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Keeping your portions reasonable will help you get more in touch with your feelings of hunger and fullness.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 4: Be choosy about nighttime snacks.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Mindless eating occurs most frequently after dinner, when you finally sit down and relax.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Sitting down with a bag of chips or cookies in front of the television is an example of eating amnesia, where you mindlessly eat without being hungry, but out of habit,” says American Dietetic Association spokesperson Malena Perdomo, RD.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Either close down the kitchen after a certain hour, or allow yourself a low-calorie snack, like a 100-calorie pack of cookies or a half-cup scoop of low-fat ice cream. Once you find that you’re usually satisfied with the low-cal snack, try a cup of zero-calorie tea, suggests Perdomo.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 5: Enjoy your favorite foods.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“I think putting your favorite foods off limits leads to weight gain because it triggers ‘rebound’ overeating,” says Sass.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Instead of cutting out your favorite foods altogether, be a slim shopper. Buy one fresh bakery cookie instead of a box, or a small portion of candy from the bulk bins instead of a whole bag.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“You can enjoy your favorite foods, but you must do so in moderation,” says Sass.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 6: Enjoy your treats away from home.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
When you need a treat, Ellie Krieger, RD, host of Food Network’s Healthy Appetite, suggests taking a walk to your local ice cream parlor or planning a family outing.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“By making it into an adventure, you don’t have to worry about the temptation of having treats in the house, and it is a fun and pleasurable way to make it work when you are trying to lose weight,” says Krieger.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
And for those times you just can’t get out? Krieger stocks her kitchen with fresh fruit, which she thinks can be every bit as delicious as any other dessert.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 7: Eat several mini-meals during the day.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. But when you’re hungry all the time, eating fewer calories can be challenging.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Studies show people who eat 4-5 meals or snacks per day are better able to control their appetite and weight,” says obesity researcher Rebecca Reeves, DrPH, RD.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
She recommends dividing your daily calories into smaller meals or snacks and enjoying as many of them as you can early in the day — dinner should be the last time you eat.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 8: Eat protein at every meal.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Protein is more satisfying than carbohydrates or fats, and thus may be the new secret weapon in weight control.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Diets higher in protein [and] moderate in carbs, along with a lifestyle of regular exercise, have an excellent potential to help weight loss,” says University of Illinois protein researcher Donald Layman, PhD.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Getting enough protein helps preserve muscle mass and encourages fat burning while keeping you feeling full. So be sure to include healthy protein sources, like yogurt, cheese, nuts, or beans, at meals and snacks.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 9: Spice it up.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Add spices or chiles to your food for a flavor boost that can help you feel satisfied.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Food that is loaded with flavor will stimulate your taste buds and be more satisfying so you won’t eat as much,” says Perdomo.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
When you need something sweet, suck on a red-hot fireball candy for a long-lasting burst of sweetness with just a few calories.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 10: Stock your kitchen with healthy convenience foods.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Having ready-to-eat snacks and meals-in-minutes staples on hand sets you up for success. You’ll be less likely to hit the drive-through or call in a pizza order if you can make a healthy meal in 5 or 10 minutes.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Sass stocks her kitchen with:</div>
<ul style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">94% fat-free microwave popcorn (20-25 calories per cup, and you can make it in two minutes or less)</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Frozen vegetables</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Bags of pre-washed greens</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Canned diced tomatoes</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Canned beans</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Whole-grain wraps or pitas</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Pre-cooked grilled chicken breasts</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">A few containers of pre-cooked brown rice</li>
</ul>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Within minutes, she can toss together a healthy medley.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 11: Order children’€™s portions at restaurants.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“When you are eating out, order a child’s pizza or a small sandwich as an easy way to trim calories and get your portions under control,” suggest Perdomo.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Another trick is to use smaller plates. This helps the portions look like more, and if your mind is satisfied, your stomach likely will be, too.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 12: Eat foods in season.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“If you don’t love certain fruits or vegetables, it could be because you ate them out of season when they have little taste or flavor,” says Pensiero. “When you eat seasonally, fruits and vegetables are more flavorful, at their best, and I promise you won’t be disappointed.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
At GiGi’s Trattoria, her restaurant in Rhinebeck, N.Y., she serves simple fruit desserts, like naturally sweet strawberries topped with aged balsamic vinegar, or low-fat yogurt or fresh berries in a compote.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 13: Swap a cup of pasta for a cup of vegetables.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Simply by eating less pasta or bread and more veggies, you could lose a dress or pants size in a year.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“You can save from 100-200 calories if you reduce the portion of starch on your plate and increase the amount of vegetables,” says Sass.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 14: Use non-food alternatives to cope with stress.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Sooner or later, you’re going to be faced with a stressful situation. Instead of turning to food for comfort, be prepared with some non-food tactics that work for you.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Sass suggests reading a few chapters in a novel, listening to music, writing in a journal, practicing meditative deep breathing, or looking at a photo album of loved ones.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Best Diet Tip No. 15: Be physically active.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Although it may seem counterintuitive, don’t use exercise either to punish yourself for eating or to “earn” the right to eat more.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“When you do, it sets up a negative thought pattern, which is why so many people say they hate to exercise,” says May.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Instead, focus on how great you feel, how much better you sleep and how much more energy you have when you exercise. Physical activity is good for you whether you are trying to lose weight or not, so keep it positive and build a lifelong habit.</div>
