How to Stop Biting Your Nails...

Did you know:  There are approx. 600 million nail biters world wide!  Both adults and children bite their nails for various reasons.

Now I don't feel so bad.  Nail biting is a habit difficult to stop. 

Nail biting can be a result of bordom, feeling nervous or suffering from stress / anxiety. 

If you are sick of biting your nails, here are some tips:

- Use a bitter nail polish as discouragement

- Alternatively you can try and stop biting one nail at a time.  Tell yourself you are protecting ..... nail this week and refuse to bite it.  

- Eat foods that are rich in calcium and magnesium 

- Take a photo of your nails and stick it up in a prominent place to remind yourself.  Take a photo each week and add it.  Then you can be inspired by your progress or non-progress.  Make a poster of a whole lot of really terrible bitten finger nails and put it up next to your mirror or computer to remind you.  This will definately put you off.

- Don't start another bad habit to try and stop biting your nails.  Some people suggest chewing a toothpick or something else.  This is not a good idea.

- Try to find the real reason why you are biting your nails:  bored/nervous/hungry/thinking/fiddling and then find a way to treat the cause not only the symptom.  There is something you can use like a stress ball or worry beads to keep your hands occupied or drumming your fingers but dont let it become obsessive.

Thought for the day: Notice it

“Life is full of beauty. 

Notice it.
 
Notice the bumble bee, the small child,
and ...the smiling faces. 

Smell the rain,
and feel the wind.
 
Live your life to the fullest potential,
and fight for your dreams.”

Make the best of something

"You're always on your way somewhere. 

The key is: find a way to be happy wherever you now are on your way to where you really want to be. It does not matter where you are; where you are is shifting constantly - but you must turn your attention to where you want to go. And that's the difference between making the best of something and making the worst of something."

 --- Abraham Lincoln

The worst 10 foods to eat....

Read all about it here:  http://www.realbuzz.com/articles/top-10-worst-foods-eat/

Extract:

True, we are surrounded by junk foods, packed with sugar, fat and salt and generally processed to the extreme — but which ones are the real no nos, foods that you really should avoid?

We've selected 10 of the big hitters, 10 foods that are really bad for your body and your long-term wellbeing.

Now we are not saying that these types of foods should never pass your lips again, it's just a heads up on the fact that they shouldn't feature too heavily in your diet if you want to maintain healthy nutrition and maybe lose a few pounds.

Pork scratchings (pork rind or crackle)
Heavy and hard, we are talking fatty pig skin deep fried and then doused in salt. Also, if you are lucky you might even get one sporting a few hairs; pig hair is usually removed by quickly burning the skin before it is cut into pieces and cooked in the hot fat. Plus they are not great for your teeth either; we couldn't get the stats on how many dental injuries have been inflicted by eating these suckers but we are guessing it's pretty high.

Fried desserts
Fried desserts feature high up on the list of worst foods to eat as essentially you are dipping something in batter that is already high in sugar and fat, and then deep frying it. And don't be fooled by pineapple and banana fritters either, they are no better because they are fruit, the layer of batter and the fact they are swimming in sugary syrup make them no go dishes too.

Cheesy fries Fries feature as a bad food on their own, but, as you know we are all about moderation here at realbuzz.com and seriously cutting these from your life totally would be a hard move. But a plate fried potato layered in cheese =  bad food. Cheese contains +10 x as much saturated fat as fish and white meat and together with deep fried carbs, a serving of cheesy chips are a big bad no no.

Fizzy drinks Contain massive amounts of calories, even in small quantities.  You are adding to your daily calories not getting any nutrition in return. Studies have linked fizzy drinks to osteoporosis, tooth decay and heart disease. Diet drinks are not recommended either, even though they are lower in calories - they contribute to dental erosion (the bubbles in the drink are acidic) they are a no go.

Alcohol
Chose limited/small amounts of clear spirits with soda, tonic or fruit juice and steer away from coloured alcoholic drinks.
