Have you already tried all the existing diets including no-carb, fat-free, and low-protein ones? If you’ve followed a diet with no solid food or tried to count the calories of every meal and yet somehow all of your attempts to lose weight haven’t been successful by now, you may realize that something’s wrong with all of these techniques.
Here are the most common mistakes we make when we want to lose-weight.

1.You're Not Getting Enough Sleep
Lack of sleep can contribute to weight-gain. One study found that women who slept 5-hours a night were more likely to gain weight than women who slept 7-hours a night.
• Losing sleep may make you feel hungry, even when you're not.
• Sleep deprivation can affect the secretion of cortisol, one of the hormones that regulates appetite.
• When you're tired, you may skip exercise or simply move around less, which means burning fewer calories.
• Getting enough sleep is crucial if you're trying to lose weight, not just because of how it affects you physically, but mentally as well. Sleep deprivation makes you cranky, confused, and can even make you feel depressed or angry.
2.You're Too Stressed Out
Stress and weight gain, or lack of weight-loss go hand in hand. Though you may not be aware of it, being under constant stress has the following consequences:
• Like sleep deprivation, too much stress increases the production of cortisol. Not only does this increase appetite, it can also cause extra fat storage around the abs.
• Cravings for foods that are high in sugar and fat, comfort foods to make us feel better.
3.Your digestion and absorption is not optimal.
• You are not what you eat; you are what you digest and absorb! Our gut health will determine our overall wellbeing. The bacteria that lies in our gut helps us to fight disease, process our food, make nutrients and make hormones etc.
4.You're eating out too much and not cooking at home.
• Trust me, you just don’t know what that restaurant is using to cook your food. Assume they're using the worst vegetable oils, heavy amounts of butter and oil, and poor-quality produce. Unless you're dining at a place that claims healthy cooking and uses healthy produce, learn to love your kitchen!

5.Your hormones aren't balanced.
If you are fatigued, experience irregular menstrual cycles, find it hard to lose weight, feel depressed or anxious, you may have a hormonal imbalance. Best to see a nutritionist or doctor who can support you and suggest certain tests that will confirm this so you can take appropriate action.
6.You're scared of good fats.
Don't be! Good fats are so so important to your brain and for making hormones. (So you can imagine why many of those who suffer from hormonal imbalances usually eat a low-fat diet) and your heart. The body actually uses the good fats and they will help to lower your LDL cholesterol.
7.Your liver is sluggish and you need a good cleanse!
If you're feeling low, tired, and moody and your diet contains alcohol, coffee and sugar, you need to give your body a break. When your liver is sluggish, it struggles to process substances/toxins/hormones efficiently and this leads to toxic build-up and this will inevitably cause weight-gain. You might benefit from a seasonal liver cleanse.

There’s no denying that Americans love avocados. During Superbowl festivities alone, 79-million pounds of avocados are eaten. That’s roughly 158-million avocados!
Research shows that people who eat avocados tend to be generally healthier, with a much higher nutrient intake and lower Body-Mass-Index than those who don’t.
So don’t just limit your avocado consumption to Superbowl season, you’ll be missing out on these 8 great health-benefits if you do!
1.A Source of Healthy Fats
Although the fat content of avocados is high, they contain ‘good-fats’ including monounsaturated fat. This type of fat can reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack along with the levels of bad-cholesterol in the blood.

2.Fight Inflammation
Chronic inflammation in the body is thought to be responsible for asthma, allergies, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, heart-disease, cancer and most of today’s modern diseases.
Avocado might just help fight inflammation, thanks to its oleic acid-content. Oleic acid has been linked with reduced inflammation in several studies.

3.Healthy Skin and Hair
With healthy fats and inflammation fighting properties, avocado can give you smooth-skin and glossy hair.
One fruit also contains over 20% of your daily dose of Vitamin-E which protects body tissue from damage by free radicals, thought to play a role in aging.
Instead of buying expensive Vitamin-E enriched skincare creams, eat avocados or try avocado-oil and fight aging from within!


4.Improve Nutrient Absorption
When it comes to vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, it doesn’t matter how much we eat. What matters is how much we absorb. Some nutrients are fat soluble, meaning they need to be combined with fat in order for our bodies to assimilate them. Examples of fat-soluble nutrients include Vitamin-A, Vitamin-D, Vitamin-E and Vitamin-K, along with certain antioxidants. The healthy fats in avocado helps absorb these nutrients better.

5.Role in Cancer Fighting
Research points to avocado being beneficial in fighting cancer. One study has shown that avocado extract may stop or slow the growth of prostate cancer cells. Another has shown that it may help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, However, these studies are limited so it may be best to just enjoy avocado for the wealth of other benefits it brings.


6.Improve Digestion
Fiber is an important component of any balanced diet – it keeps your digestive-system running smoothly. Even though fruits and veggies are absolutely loaded with fiber, it’s something that most Americans don’t get enough of! Aim to hit your fiber target by eating more avocado – one fruit contains 13 grams, around 54% of your recommended daily fiber intake!

7.Enhance Your Mood
An avocado a day might cheer you up thanks to its vitamin and mineral content – especially potassium and folate.
Some studies have found a link between a lack of potassium and depression. A review of several scientific studies on the relationship between sodium, magnesium and potassium in depressed patients, found that depressed men and women all had low levels of potassium.
Folate, too, is important to stave off low mood and signs of depression, something researchers have recognized since the 1960s.

8.Improve Immunity
Avocados are a great source of the B vitamins, which help you fight off illness and infection. They also give you plenty of Vitamin-C and E – both natural immune boosters. High blood levels of vitamin C may be the ideal nutrition marker for overall health.

Just about everyone is familiar with the health benefits of olive oil – the first pressing of oil from olives, referred to as extra virgin olive oil, is not only highly prized among chefs across the globe
But another part of the olive tree is less known, yet it provides incredible benefits: the olive leaf. This traditional medicinal herb with therapeutic uses that date back centuries has become popular among health advocates and can be used in a variety of medicinal applications, thanks to its powerful plant compounds that contain natural polyphenolic antioxidants.

Check out these 5 Remarkable Benefits of Olive Leaf Extract
1.Reduces cancer risk
Olive leaves can play an essential role as part of a natural cancer treatment, as well as reducing the risk of developing the disease. This is due to its ability to stop the angiogenic process, which triggers tumor growth. The substance oleuropein delivers a potent antiangiogenic and antioxidant effect by preventing the reproduction and migration of advanced tumor-cells.
Research conducted out of the University of Ioannina in Greece 2009 found that the extract of olive leaves had high antioxidant potency that was able to inhibit cancer and endothelial cell reproduction. It was also able to slow the growth of cells linked to brain-cancer, urinary bladder cancer and breast cancer.
2.Younger-looking, healthier skin
Olive leaf extract offers many benefits to the skin. In fact, according to a 2008 study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, researchers found that using the oleuropein extract of olive leafs was able to significantly reduce skin reddening, improve blood flow and dehydration, better than Vitamin E. 
thanks to the high level of antioxidants in olive leaves as well as its ability to eliminate toxins, it’s known to have the ability to reverse years of skin damage, including signs of aging, to help one’s skin become healthier and look younger too.

3.Boosts the immune system
Thanks to its antiviral properties, olive leaves may not only treat dangerous viruses, but it might even be able to help fight off the common cold. Studies have shown that the extracts of olive leaves can battle a host of disease-causing microbes, including some viruses that are known to cause respiratory infections and the flu.
Powerful substances that are found in olive leaves work by destroying organisms that invade the body, preventing viruses from replicating and causing an infection.
4.Lowering blood pressure
Olive leaf extract also offers anti-hypertensive properties that can address hypertension, lowering blood pressure and ultimately helping to lower the risk of potential heart complications.
The patients that were given 500 milligrams of olive leaf extract twice each day for a period of eight weeks and experienced dramatically reduced diastolic and systolic blood pressure.

5.Improving brain function and fighting Alzheimer’s disease
It has long been proven that those who follow a Mediterranean diet and keep physically and mentally active, are less likely to suffer from dementia. Olives, in particular, appear to play a key role in this regard, as well as the olive leaf.
The olive leaf has been shown to offer powerful effects on brain function. Research has found that one of the main compounds in the leaf, oleuropein, is able to lessen the symptoms or occurrence of brain age-related conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
