runDisney Nutritionist Tara Gidus: Fuelling your morning run

 Here's a tip for divas who need a boost of energy in the morning.

 

Seasonal clothing apparel

It's chilly out here from where I live.  So it's important to dress accordingly, especially for the weather.  Some divas don't bother doing so because they think what they're buying to wear is all about the look, showing off.  That's why some of us tend to get sick with colds and flu or fevers or any health problems.  You could still look good through all kinds of weather, but you need to pick out clothes for seasonal purposes, it all depends on the color and the thickness of the fabric for the clothes you're wearing.

For example, you can't wear clothes that are light weighted, like sheer, mesh, lace, satin or flannel in the middle of winter.  These kinds of fabrics are for the summer only.  They're can withstand the summer heat especially from the sun itself.

Instead, wear clothes with thick fabric such as cotton, wool, denim, fleece, velvet, leather, or felt.  These fabrics have natural instillation to protect your skin and body from the dangerous winter chills, especially when the winds are blowing.

You can use cotton, denim and leather for all seasons.

For color, I suggests you pick out winter clothes that are neutral and dark colored.  For autumn seasons, wear earth toned colors like brown, red, orange, and yellow, just like the falling leaves.  Bright colored clothes are for the summer and light colored clothes like pink, lavender, mauve, turquoise, shamrock green, lemon yellow, sky blue and strawberry red are for spring.

White and black are all seasonal, just don't wear all white during winter unless the fabric is real thick and all black during the summer unless it's loose fitting and very light weight.

You can mix and match the colors to coordinate your outfits, but you must do it according to season.  If you're going to wear skirts or dresses whether they're long or short, then you need to wear something thick to cover rest of your legs such as thick cotton tights or leg warmers.  Your health is much more important than your appearance.

Remember, You don't have to be rich and famous to be a diva, being yourself is what a diva is all about.  Blessing!

Here's an interesting tip about avocado.

Let's talk: parental responsibilities

Let's face it.  We live in a time where single parenthood is normal.  Before then there TWO parents living in the same household, where the father works and the mother says home with the children, doing the cooking and the cleaning.  There there are two parents who have jobs, living on a two family income.  Now, we got single women having children out of wedlock, some are ignorant because they should have known better than to have unprotective sex, some are very naive because their parents never gave them THE TALK when they were growing up, so therefore they got no clue what they're getting into when they hook up with boys at a young age.

Young divas between age 13 and 21, (I hope you're reading this article carefully).   If you're are a virgin, I strongly recommend that you remain staying that way until graduate from college and have good job to support you.  If your parents never gave you a pep talk about the birds and the bees, then ask your school's guidance counselor or grade advisor to help you sign up for or create a sex education class for students.  If you're dating, be extremely careful of who you're courting.  What you don't know can hurt you in the long run.  Don't ever let a man push you into sleeping with him.  I don't care how fine he is, how popular he is in school, how good he is to you.  Both of you are not financially, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually ready to become parents.  You're practically babies yourselves and you got an awful lot to learn when comes to being an adult.  If you are sexually active (and some of you are out there, I know), take safe sex more seriously everytime you hookup with a guy.  If a guy forces himself onto you, go whatever it takes to get out of there and call the police on him.  Wear a condom when you get intimate, this could not only prevent you from getting pregnant, but it also proctect you contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STD) like HIV and AIDS.  If you are pregnant, seek some help as soon as possible.  Talk to your guidance counselor, your family doctor, your preacher, someone you really trust because it's hard to tell your parents first, they would throw lots of negative reactions on you but give them a chance to calm down.  Talk about adoption agencies that are legit if you want give it up for adoption.  Know the laws in your city and state in terms of abandoning your child in the street.  In New York City, there is a state law called safe haven law for mothers who abandon their unwanted babies on public streets, they could get arrested for that.  In this law, a mother is suppose to leave her unwanted child at places like hospitals, police stations, fire house, anyplace where there is a lot of people who have connections to child services and adoption agencies.  No questions will be asked.  Talk about abortion clinics if you want to abort the pregnancy, know the state laws regarding abortion and KNOW YOUR RIGHTS, there are authority figures who don't believe in abortion.  If you want keep the baby and raise him or her, ask about government programs to support you and your child such as welfare, food stamps like SNAP (used to be EBT) or WIC program, affordable health insurance programs for your child, and public housing programs in case you want to move out.  You must know who the child's father is, it takes two to make a baby.  If you do know who it is, then you need to let him know, he has the right to know and so does the child.  Make him take a paternity test to prove it.  Every child needs a father figure in their lives, I mean a man who can be there for the child, who can provide for them, who can protect them, who establish discipline and structure for the child.  And for God's sake, don't ever use child support to spend the money on yourself, that's selfish, that's greedy and it shows that you're using your child to get what you want and milking the baby dady out of his hard earned money which he needs to pay his bills with.  (Excuse me for getting real)  If you don't know who it is because it could more than just one guy you've slept with, track down every guy you hooked up with and make them take paternity test until you find the exact DNA match.

For divas, 21 and over, you should know right and wrong and should know better about what you're doing, what you're about to do and the consequences of your actions by now.  You have more self respect and self worth.  Some of you out there want to party once you've reach 21, but if you have a child your partying days are over.  You have a responsibility to take care of, which means that it's time for you to really grow up.  You need to start changing gears and set a very positive example for the child. You and the child's father must stay in contact, even if you're not a couple and you can't get along and seeing other people.  Start by taking parenting classes.  Find a way to co-exist together for the sake of the child, not just money wise but also emotionally because children can mimic your attitudes and emotions by watching you, so watch what you do and what you say in front of your children.  What you and your baby's daddy do right now can affect the child's future in life.

For divas who are in their late thirties and over and has a teen daughter who is suddenly pregnant, don't get upset, don't panic.  You may think that this will never happen to your own daughters because of the way you raised them.  Please, don't make assumptions like because you probably don't know what's going on out there and times are changing.  This is now the time to be there for your daughter in her time of need, she's very young, scared and doesn't know what to do.  You got to help her make good decision and be open minded for options regarding health and pregnancy.  Don't ever throw your daughter out of the house.  That shows abandonment and neglect and selfishness.  She can't handle herself in the streets alone, especially when she is with child.  If you find out if your teen son got a girl pregnant, make him take parenting and child care classes, that way he will learn to be a good father to the child.

The main reason why I'm addressing this issue to all you divas because this generation has too many absentee fathers.  Some women have too much pride in raising children alone without telling them who their birth father is.  Most children never knew their father because their mothers never talked to them about him.  That could cause consequences.  For example, I recently heard about a young woman dating an older man nearly twice her age, they got intimate a few times, then she brung him to her home so he can meet her family, but the woman's mother suddenly recognized him and confessed to her that the man the man the woman is dating is really her birth father and the DNA confirmed it.  Both the woman and the man felt devastage never knowing about their hereditary.  Basically this is the mother's fault because she was selfish and foolish to make decisions to hide that information from both the man and her daughter for so long.  This is karma for her.  Please, don't betray your daughters or sons by denying their rights to know who their father is.  Don't keep the child's father out of the picture by ignoring the fact that he has a child with you.  Think about it.

Remember you don't have to be rich and famous to be a diva, being yourself is what a diva is all about.  Blessings!

Diva Tip: Bowls instead of plates.

Some of you want to start off the New Year by losing weight, which is common every New Year.  Some do it naturally, others try diet plans or programs.  And therea girls who think its ok to starve themselves to an early grave just to lose weight (something I clearly don't recommend).  Every time we eat a meal whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, we tend to fill our plates in larger portions, we might have a temptation of having everything we see that's appealing to us by the sight, the aroma and the taste.  This is the habit we have since we're little girls when we first started eating solid foods.  We care more about the taste more than nutrition.  Sometimes we overstuff our plates and eat more than we can digest, sometimes we skip breakfast and go on to eating lunch and ignoring dinner.  These are the kind of cycles we need to stop.

So for this week's tip, we're going to use bowls instead of plates.  Why?  They can cut meal portion size in half.  When on a diet, we are told to eat meals at small portions, but we don't know how much or how little.  When we use plates, we don't know how much we going eat and it could be tempting to overstuff our plates.  With bowls, you know exactly how much meal you're filling. 

Use regular sized bowls to eat meals with.  No bigger bowls like mixing bowls, that's cheating.  No small bowls either, that's shaming yourself.   Use any regular sized bowl as a measuring instrument.  Fill your bowls with food.  You meal must not reach above the rim of your bowl, it shows that you're eating too much.  Your meal must be filled 1/8 below the rim.  Never fill your meal only at the base of your bowl like a 1/4 full or smaller that shows that you're eating too little.

When you go out, make sure you bring a disposal paper bowl with you.  You can bring a heat resistant plastic bowl with you, when having lunch at work (Remember to clean your bowl when you're done eating lunch).  At a restaurant, ask the waitstaff worker to serve your meals in bowls only.

Here's the factor in daily meals.  3 meals a day, 4 snacks a day and water in between.  You read me right, 4 snacks.  You are allowed to eat snacks as long as they're healthy.  So never mind what people said about not snacking between meals.  Has it worke for them?  I bet not.  You can eat what you want, but make sure you eat in moderation.  3 meals in bowls only, 4 small snacks, and 8 ounces of water 8 times a day (preferably spring water).

Try this tip and you won't feel starved or missing out on what you love to eat and it could help you lose weight as long as you add exercise and physical activity to the mix.

Remember, you don't have to be rich and famous to be a diva, being yourself is what a diva is all about.  Blessings.

Diva health

As women, we must learn to take better care of ourselves as well as well as we take care of our loved ones.  Often times, we devote too much time and attention on everyone who has needs and neglect our health, our wants and needs, our endevours, our dreams, our own lives, mostly inportantly ourself.   For wives, their job is to keep the home clean and cook and care for their husbands.  To the mothers, their job is to take care of the children and rasie them right.  As employees, we devote all our eight hours a day to perform the duties their jobs require of them, sometimes the hours can be longer and much more work than usual.  As businesswoman, we have to bounce from place to place, overseeing everything, making sure business is running smoothly, conducting corprate meeting, statying longer hours for last minute tasks to finish.  For most of us, it's stressful, pressuring, yet challenging.  You might be going though panic attacks, anxiety, depression, mid life crisis, post patum depression, any type of psychological issues you're personally dealing with.

Often times, we tend to neglect our eating habits and choice of food we consume.  Since we mentally trained to be the busybodies, we don't make time to exercise, we engage in poor diet, we don't plan for physical activity.  It is why some of us gain weight, develop conditions of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. 

So we need to take time to watch our health on a regular basis.  You can do so by taking regular physical checkups, keep up with visits to the psychiatrist if you're having mental and emotional problems, stay in therapy and on medication if you have physical or mental conditions, take a multi-vitamin daily, exercise daily, do self examinations for breast cancer once a month get plenty of rest, and eat a well-balanced diet.  If pregnant, take extra special care of yourself and your baby.

You can also try these methods like taking a thirty minute break for yourself to relax or if you have more free time, say like two hours, you can take a little cat nap so you'll have the chance to rest your body and put your mind at ease.  This is go for girls-on-the-go with extreme busy schedules.  Try meditation to quiet the mind and soothe the emotions.  Practice yoga postures to relieve tight tension in the muscles.  Do some deep breathing exercises to calm the nerves.  You can do more research on these subjects on youtube. 

If you like, you can use alternative medicine to mix.  You can research at home remedies online or you can read Natural Cure They Don't Want You To Know About by Kevin Trudeau.

Rule of thumb: Good health means long living.  So, live for you by taking care of your diva health!

Remember, you don't have to be rich and famous to be a diva, being yourself is what a diva is all about.  Blessings!

How to Use Kosher Salt

The nutrition diva discusses the importance of using kosker salt instead of table salt.  Please, take note.

Inexpensive Yoga Tips

Here's s few tips on getting in shape with yoga.

Basic necessities for a diva

What a diva needs for daily life:

1.  Get a job:

You need a job to support your divaism among other things that are important like paying rent and putting food on the table.  Even if you already got a  job, it will not be enough at a time like this.  You can add a part time job to earn extra money.  Evening jobs and weekend jobs are acceptable.  For divas under 18, you can get a summer job while school is out, you can also take an after school job or weekend job as well.  You can also check with you school advisor or counselor about any youth employement programs that are available.  This step is about building self worth and independence, that way you don't have to depend on anybody to pay your way all the time.

2.  Get a financial advisor

It doesn't have to be a professional advisor.  If you cannot afford one, that's o.k.   Just pick someone you trust with money, who has lots of financial sense, knows the ecomonics like the back of their hand, and gives wise adice that are legitimate.  This person can help you set up a budget planner, teach you how to balance the the budget, how to save the money you earn, make wise investment decisions, what is the best credit card to use, and how to build good credit or repair bad credit.  It will help you learn self discipline when it comes to personal money management.

3.  Apply for a bank account

Your income has to go somewhere to pay bills.  Open savings account and checking account at the bank of your choice.  Shop around first to find the best benefits and the requirements that are easy for you to apply.  You must have a clean credit history before applying.  It's also essential to set up an emergency fund for only emergencies, and a retirement fund which you will live on when you reach your golden years (age 65 and over)  It's also a good idea to set up an investment account if you want to build a stock profolio for stock options.  You can also get into real estate investing, which is much less riskier than stock investing.  It's best that you do read books and do research on real estate or stock markets before taking part in them.  One of the best books regarding real estate investing is Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. 

4.  Use prepaid debit cards. 

Start with debit cards that are prepaid first.  You can add some of your earnings into your card by phone or online by purchasing a MoneyPak from stores like Rite Aid.  Look up the MoneyPak website to find a store location near you that sells the MoneyPak card.  It's only $4.95 for the processing fee.  You can also load your paycheck and tax returns into your prepaid card directly.  Check the annual percentage rate (APR) and the monthly fees before applying for a prepaid card.  Zero APRs are best to start with.

5.  Do a 30 minute beauty regimine

Take some time to do a little self spucing like facials or manicures.  It's important to keep your beauty in tip - top shape

6.  Assemble aparrel that are in season

Light and bright colors are for summer, dark colors and neutral colors are for winter.  Spring and autumn, you can mix and match.

7.  No smoking

I don't care it this sick habit calms you down when under stressful pressure.  I don't care if it keeps you from overeating.  Any kind of excuses you have don't really matter, your health does and so are the people around you, especially children.  So, think twice before putting it to your mouth.  For non-smokers, be aware of your indoor surroundings regarding second hand smoke.

8.  No alcohol

It's O.K. only if you're a social drinker, but you must watch your intake.  Too much alcohol can impair your judgement and your clear sight temporarily and it can mess up your health.  So, you must pick a designative driver if you're planning to go out for drinks.  Never ride in a car with a drunk driver.  And under any circumstances, never take perscription pills with liquor.  Young divas, I strongly recommend that you wait until you are the age of 21 and never attend parties that involved underaged.

9.  No drugs

Whether it's illegal or legal drugs, you really need to stay clear from.  Doing too much can not only mess up your health, but can also be fatal.   If you're prescribed medication, use them only as directed.  Stay clear from your peers who do drugs or sell them.  They might manipulate into doing drugs as well.

10. Buy what you can afford

I know it's a deal breaker for the materialistic type of women, those who only want the finer things in life.  But that's only for women who have wealth and not debt.  In other words, if you only living on fixed income, then you cannot afford the finer things like diamonds, furs, cars and expensive clothes and shoes.  YOU MUST STAY WITHIN YOUR BUDGET AT ALL TIMES.  You must not waste your hard earned money on items that are of petty use.  Remember, bills, rent, and food comes first before anything.

11. Check for deals and sales when shopping

The lower the prices the better.  Sign up for store cards for huge discounts on merchandise.  Read their current flyers before shopping.  Always keep current coupons handy.

12. Exercise on a daily basis

You need to do that to stay healthy and fit.  One total hour of exercise a day.  Sport activities are also great to keep active.

13. Add raw fruits and vegetables to your daily diet.

Remember, you're eating to live, not living to eat.  So, get into the habit of eating fresh raw vegan foods besides cooked foods.  Watch your intake on salty, sugary, starchy, and oily fried foods.

14. Set aside money for charities

When you give a lot, you'll receive much in return.  So, save some of your money to donate and support your favorite non-profit organizations for worthy causes.

15. Set aside time to volunteer

You'll be doing a great deal of service when you help out those in need by volunteering.  Plus, you might build some job skills.

14. Every season, purchase three sets of business outfits, five sets of cusual outfits (for divas under 18 years old ten sets of causual, two sets of bed clothes, and two sets of formal attire.

Do this every year to keep up with the latest trends

15. Meditate daily

One of biggest stress busters. You can meditate indoors in a nice quite spot or outdoors if you prefer to be in tuned with nature.  Start with 15 minutes a day if you're very busy and work you way up to at least an hour depending your schedule.  Any time of day is good as long as it's quiet.

Remember, you don't need to be rich and famous to be a diva, bein yourself is what a diva is all about.  Blessings!

Nutrition Diva Discusses Nighttime Eating

Here's a tip on nigh caps when you're trying to loose weight.   I know some of you are snacking a little something after dinner at times.

Making Your Personal Health Contract With Tips from The Diet Diva

Forget about that nonsense on not snacking between meals, you have rights to eat a little someting between.  Just eat the right kind of snacks.  Now, here is tip on how to do so.

Beauty routines and regimines for the diva

At times like this when the economy is in shambles and unemployment is high even though it's getting low, it could be problematic for a diva to not only keep up with her appearance but also the care of her hair, skin, nails, body and health regarding the costs in services of beauty salons, health clubs, gym memberships, and doctor visits.  These normal regimines you can do yourself at home.  Yes, you!  Why?  You got hands.  You can do them yourself.  However, if you're a hand or arm amputee or born with no hands or arms, you can ask someone you know to help you.  There's no reason to get lazy on it.  The best part about doing them at home yourself is that you can save tons of money.  If you don't work how to, you can ask someone you know to teach you how or you can do some research on these routines through books on beauty or online.  If you're a busy body who is always on the go, I suggest you make a daily schedule and set aside thirty minutes day to practice one routine.  The following is my weekly schedule which is used an example.

Monday facial

Tuesday hair removal

Wednesday hair wash

Thursday pedicure

Friday manicure

You can rearrange your schedule on your routine to the point where you feel more comfortable with your time.  You can do it at anytime of day. I suggest that you can do the routines after you come home from work or school.  If you're a stay at home mom you can do it when the child is alseep, if you're a homemaker you can doing between chores or after your chores are done, but if you're always traveling, make sure you bring a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of condtioner, manicure set, any hair removal kits like shaving razors or electric razors, a tube of facial scrub, a tube of facial masque, facial toner,  facial exfoliant and moisturizer and lotion with you.  You can buy any of them at your local dollar stores like Family Dollar or Dollar Tree.  It's best if you place them in your carry on bag when you're flying.

As far as exercising is concerned, it's important to get in and keep in shape not just for the sake of your body's appearance, but  also for the sake of living longer and conditioning the health of your heart, your lungs, the joints in your body and nervous system.   You don't need to get kick your hard earned money in gym monthly memberships and any bulky equipment that takes up so much floor space that you have no room to move around.  What you need is plenty of floor space to do aerobics tai chi, dance, in home walking, or kickboxing on, a floor mat, a couple of blocks and a belt or strap for yoga and pilates exercises,  a set of weights for strength training, a chair for balancing, and jump rope or small trampoline for jumping,  and a step board for step dancing and a few blank vhs tapes or blank DVDs to record your favorite exercise shows. Now you got your own personalized gym.  This method is useful in case you can't make it to the gym and fitness center due to bad weather, natural disasters, lack of cash for car fare and car gas, or sickness.  Things like this can happen, it's better to be prepared.  But if you need help in keeping track of your process, you can make friends with a personal trainer and he or she will give you advice and routines on fitness, health, and diet.

And for your health, invest in taking a multivitamin daily, drink eight cups of spring water eight ounces of each cup (64 ounces total) daily and invest in eating five servings of fruits and vegatables daily.  Always visit your doctor for checkups on your health, also do some online research on at home treatments and remedies for any sickness and symptoms such as colds, stomach problems, etc.  You can also take a local health class to learn any issues regarding weight loss, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.  If you have a long term condition that is life threatening, do research on treatments, diets, and medications to help you overcome your ailments.  Be sure to medications only as prescibed daily, keep all your medications update, schedule yout time for oral medications that way you will mot for forget, and PLEASE, under any circumstances, watch your oral or injection intakes on your medication that way you will not overdose by accident.

Remember, you don't need to be rich and famous to be a diva, just being yourself is what a diva is all about.  Blessings.

Nutrition Diva's Quick and Dirty Tips for Shopping at the Farmers Market

Here's some tips on shopping at the farmer's market.

Seven principles a diva lives by

In order to claim your own divaship, you have to learn and apply the principles of a diva for yourself.  There are seven that are important and easy to use.

1. Trendy
2. Poise
3. Attitude
4. Wisdom
5. Compassion

7. Appearance

1. Trendy:  Attend local fashion shows or make one up.  Invest in purchasing fabrics patterns trimmings and crafts to create your own clothes and accessories.  You can have some of your friends who are talented in fashion design or sewing to help do the work with you.  Spend time in craft stores to create your own jewelry and accessories.  Take classes on design in fashion, cosmetics and hair dressing.  Purchase many drawing and sketch books or download programs to create your own style of clothing.   Subscribe to fashion hairstyle and beauty magazines or websites.  Use virtual makeovers to create new looks that match your style.  Make friends with with local or aspiring fashion designers, makeup artists, hairstylists, tailors, and photographers (students who study these fields are more affordable).
