1. ENERGY drinks can boost your energy levels, alertness and focus but do you know they have a downside people don't talk about?

Addiction!

What are the symptoms and side effects? How can it be stopped? Find out!
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving Image
2. There's no 'official' definition of energy drinks addiction but if you consume excessive amounts of energy drinks without being able to control your intake, then you have an addiction.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
3. Energy drinks can become so addictive to some people because they contain several potentially habit-forming substances, such as caffeine, as well as sugar or artificial sweeteners.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
4. Signs of an addiction

- strong cravings
- a mental image of drinking energy drinks
- the inability to control your energy drink intake
- experiencing withdrawal symptoms when abstaining from energy drinks, such as headaches, irritability, fatigue, etc.
#AvonsPracticalTips
5. Side effects of energy drink overconsumption

a. For starters, energy drinks are acidic, and frequently consuming them can discolour your teeth and wear out your enamel over time. This can make you more prone to dental issues.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
b. Additionally, frequent energy drink consumption may cause weight gain. Full-sugar energy drinks contain around 110 to 275 calories — all from sugar.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
c. Studies have also linked frequent energy drink and sugar-sweetened beverage intake to chronic health issues, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and kidney disorders.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
d. While sugar-free energy drink options may seem more appealing due to their low sugar and calorie content, they still contain just as much caffeine.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
6. How to quit energy drinks

The two key ways to break an addiction include:

a. Quitting cold turkey: this involves quitting energy drinks all at once, but it may result in withdrawal symptoms.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
b. Tapering your intake: this involves reducing your energy drink intake slowly and methodically until you’re able to quit. Though it takes longer, it typically can help you avoid withdrawal symptoms.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
7. Healthier alternatives to energy drinks

- coffee (decaf)
- water, infused with your favourite fruits
- sparkling water, ideally unsweetened
- green tea, including bottled sparkling versions
- herbal or fruit teas
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
8. Other lifestyle tips

- Keep energy drinks out of the household.
- Create a support system to keep you accountable.
- Manage your stress levels.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
9. Just remember:

Drinking excessive amounts may lead to tooth decay, weight gain, and chronic diseases, such as heart disease or type 2 diabetes.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
10. If you find it difficult to moderate your energy drink intake, consider seeking medical help.

1. It is neither 'Brazilian' nor is it a butt lift.

The BBL is an augmentation of the buttock region using a patient's fat tissue.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving Image
The BBL procedure starts with liposuction of a different area, often the abdomen, flanks, thighs or back.

The fat removed from these areas is then injected into the hips and buttocks to improve shape and projection.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
2. BBL can be dangerous

The keyword is 'can'.

Although it is generally safe, there is a risk of fat getting into major blood vessels and clogging them when being injected.

5 things you should never say to a suicidal person

#Thread #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
1. “Suicide is selfish and Cowardly.”

This guilt trip is quite common but many people who consider suicide think their existence is a burden to the people they love. 'Self' is the last thing they care about.
#WorldSuicidePreventionDay #AvonsPracticalTips
Also, it's counterproductive to help someone by shaming them? Naturally, people would do everything possible to avoid death. We won't say suicide is brave but overcoming the fear of death isn't cowardly.

We often talk about what foods to avoid to prevent chronic diseases but what about foods we should eat more of?

#Thread #AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
When examining what risk factor is responsible for more deaths around the world than any other, the culprit isn't smoking or even high blood pressure.

It's a poor diet.
#Thread #AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
According to Ashkan Afshin, lead author of a 27-year global diet analysis recently published in the Lancet, this issue is not just about unhealthy food options; but a lack of healthy foods in our diets and high levels of salt.

Did you know some health conditions can affect your personality and make you act in ways that are out of character for you?

Here are a few...
#MentalHealthMatters
1. Schizophrenia

This can make you hear voices and see things that aren't there or believe things that aren't real. At first, you just might not be as social as normal. As it gets worse, it can be tough to keep your thoughts on track, making it hard to even talk to people.
2. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

This condition (OCD) makes you feel anxious and have thoughts and urges you just can't stop. For example, you might wash your hands over and over again. You might doubt yourself a lot and take a long time to finish simple tasks.

Exercising, quitting smoking, etc. Those are the 'regular' things your doctor will suggest to keep your heart healthy.

But there's more.

Here are 10 out-of-the-box things you can also do to ensure that your heart keeps going strong.

#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
1. Play between the sheets

Sex may add more than just pleasure to your life. It may also help lower your blood pressure and risk of heart disease. Research shows that reduced sexual activity is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular disease.

#AvonsPracticalTips
2. Brush your teeth regularly

Good oral hygiene does more than keep your teeth white and glistening. Some research suggests that the bacteria that cause gum disease can also raise your risk of heart disease.
