Growing your own food organically is the alternative, but the tricky pest problem remains, fortunately, vinegar is a great alternative to these artificial toxins!

Vinegar can simultaneously enhance the life of a plant and kill weeds.

Get Rid of Weeds

Get rid of unwanted garden growth by pouring apple cider vinegar onto weeds.

Food for Acidic Loving Plants

Plants like gardenias, holly, azaleas, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and begonias grow beautifully in acidic soil. Spray them with a mixture of 1 gallon of water to 1 cup of white vinegar to help them grow.

Removes Fruit Flies

To keep fruit flies and household flies at bay, you should mix half a cup of apple cider vinegar, a tablespoon of molasses, a quarter cup of sugar and a cup of water.

Then, pour the mixture into a suitable container and hang it on the fruit tree. Fruit flies will be trapped in it as soon as they try to attack the mixture.

Cleanse Your Hands of Allergens

You can wind up with dirt and allergens on your hands after spending a day working in your garden. Wash your hands with some distilled vinegar to cleanse them of debris and make sure that they don’t itch.

Keep Rabbits at Bay

If rabbits are ruining your garden you can soak cotton balls in distilled vinegar and place them in a 35mm film container or something similar. Poke holes in the top of the container and place it in your garden to keep rabbits at bay.

Kill Ants

Spray ant hills with one part water and one part vinegar to kill them. Spray areas where ants are likely to invade to keep them at bay.

Wash Your Garden Tools

You can soak garden tools, like a rake or hoe, overnight in vinegar to get rid of rust and grime. You can also fill a plastic bag with vinegar and tie it over a water spigot to keep it submerged. Rinse everything off with water.

Get Rid of Slugs and Snails

If slugs and snails are compromising your plant growth, spray them with some undiluted vinegar. This will make them wither and die.

Clean Out Your Birdbath

Mix some undiluted water with white vinеgar and use it to scrub your birdbath. Make sure to rinse it off with water.

Keep Kitty Away

If your kitty is using your garden or your kid’s sandbox as a toilet then you can pour some distilled vinеgar into the sand or soil to keep them away.

Keep Flowers Fresh

Help freshly cut flowers from your garden last by adding two tablespoons of vinegar and a teaspoon of sugar to a quart of water before adding your flowers.

If you want to start a fasting challenge, you might as well get a chia recipe breakfast.

But before we get going… let’s take a look at chia seed for a moment!

What Are Chia Seeds?

Chia seeds are tiny black and white coming from the plant called Salvia Hispanica. They are arguably known to have originated from Mexico and discovered during Mayan and Aztec cultures.

Chia seeds have been used as tiny powerful energy boosters. What I love about them is that they are natural, unprocessed and they can be easily absorbed by the human body.

They are now classified as one of modern-day superfoods because of the properties they contain.

How Can You Benefit From Chia Seeds?

There are a number of ways that you can benefit from consuming these tiny black and white seeds.

They Contain High-Quality Protein

By that I mean, They are the kings of protein. They contain roughly about 16% protein in their overall weight. That a lot compared to other plants.

As you already know, there are a lot of health benefits to high-quality protein. One of the health benefits is Weight Loss. 

This is because foods that contain a lot of protein are known to be appetite suppressors. They can make you feel full for a very long period of time.

Resulting in you eating less food.

Chia seeds Contain High Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Chia seeds also contain a lot of omega 3 fatty acids. These fatty acids can help you reduce abnormal heartbeat rhythm. This means that they can also reduce the chance of suffering from heart attacks.

The blood pressure can also be reduced due to the effects of omega 3 fatty acids.

Omega 3 fatty acids are also known to be able to reduce or slow down the development of plaque in your veins and arteries.

They Contain a lot of Bone Nutrients

Chia seeds also contain nutrients like calcium, magnesium, protein, and phosphorus. The calcium content within chia seed is way higher than that found in dairy products.

Like I said earlier, chia seed is a superfood.

For those who are lactose intolerant like myself and don’t eat dairy products, eating chia seeds is a great way of getting calcium for their bones.

Chia Seeds Also Reduce Blood Sugar Levels

Blood sugar levels are known to trigger type 2 diabetes. Consuming the seeds can help someone reduce the risk of triggering type 2 diabetes.

CS can also decrease the risks of having other chronic diseases associated with high blood sugar levels because they can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.

How Are Chia Seeds Used For Weight Loss?

As I stated earlier, chia seeds can help you lose weight because they can easily fill you up and keep you from eating for a very long period of time.

But how can you take advantage of that and use them in a safe and good systematic way?

Through a certain recipe of course!

What are actually going to need?

• 2 tablespoon Chia Seeds per cup
• 2 Cups of Water or Smoothie
• 1/2 tablespoon of Raw Honey

What you need to do is to just soak the chia seeds in the water or smoothie for about 10 minutes. When the chia seeds are swollen, add a little bit of raw honey and now you can now consume your chia seed drink.

The honey is only used as a sweetener. Do not use processed sugar because they can be harmful to your body.

I prefer taking the drink early in the morning or before going to bed. But you can also take the drink during the day. It’s totally up to you.

I personally use a chia seed drink just before I start a fasting challenge for myself.

But we want the rewards of working out too so here’s a solution. You can always do at home work outs that focus on the areas you want to tone.

The legs are an area that really need the work but are often ignored. The legs need to be strong enough to support the body through all the walking and running we do and slim legs look amazing. Exercising the legs will also help shed weight overall. Check out these simple exercises that you can do at home:

1. High-Knee

This exercises focuses on everything between and including your core muscles to your calf muscles. It helps you stay more balanced and speeds up your metabolic activity. To do a fairly basic high knee exercise, raise a leg, pull your knee into your chest and hold it there a few moments before bringing it down. Do this with your other leg and keep repeating the movement. Keep your back straight throughout.

Once this becomes easy for you, you can try more complicated exercises.

2. Squats

A fairly common part of every workout, it is best to go for a deep squat if you wish to see great results. It will be difficult to get your buttocks to go below your knees but it will be worth it. They activate your glutes; make your ligaments stronger and your lower body more flexible. These two exercises require you to stand and that can be a slight turn off.

But there are workouts you can do just before going to sleep, and maybe even in bed. If you’re going all out and doing all of these exercises, do the aforementioned two in the beginning.

3. Oblique leg raises

This exercise can make you stronger because it activates a variety of muscles. It doesn’t look hard but if you don’t do it right, you can injure yourself. Ensure that one of your sides is touching the floor, especially your lower body. Your body should be in a straight line. Raise the leg on top at a 45 degree angle and bring it back down smoothly.

4. Inner thigh lifts

If you’re just trying to get toned legs, this is the right exercise for you. Lie down on your side with the leg at the bottom stretched out.

Cross the upper leg over it and let either the foot or the knee come into contact with the floor. Don’t move your upper body and focus only on the inner thigh.

This exercise can be modified in a multitude of ways. You can raise the leg below while you are exhaling and bring it back to rest as you breathe in. You can even rotate that leg while it is raised. But stay steady throughout so that you don’t injure yourself.

With that being said, let’s continue and happy hair care!
