Not everyone who overeats is depressed. Large amounts of food can also be eaten when a person is happy or might be looking forward to an upcoming event. Food can be an emotional therapist for some and helps in both times of ups and downs. This can be a hard cycle to break but what is even harder for some is acknowledging they are an overeater: it takes courage to admit this type of behavior is happening. For every person who is an overeater or has a different kind of eating disorder, it is okay to admit to yourself you have a problem. This type of problem must be addressed though as it can be detrimental to health if left.

'Mission Indradhanush' - A Shot in the Arm for India's Universal Immunization Programme
Vaccination is one of the surest methods of ensuring healthy children and eventually a healthy nation. As per the direction of the Prime Minister of India, the goal of Intensified Mission Indradhanush is to increase the immunization coverage to 90 percent by the end of this year. This can be achieved only when we reach out to those 'unreached' children who are left out of routine immunization sessions. What is important is India does not need money to push these things but unwavering focus and meticulous planning.

Keeping Those New Year's Resolutions Going From January and Beyond
Ok friends, it's done and gone! If you were on a "diet" or had other resolutions you were working on in January... you made it! The first month of 2018 is over. How did you do? Maybe you have already achieved your stated goal (no alcohol for a month, for example) or maybe you are still working on it (such as weight loss), but either way, the long-term goal is to continue these new healthy habits in some form and sustain that progress through the year.

Here's How to Clean Your False Eyelashes the Right Way
A great pair of realistic-looking fake eyelashes can be pretty costly, so there's no reason they should be a single-serving beauty product. It's actually pretty easy to rid your false lashes of mascara clumps and glue strings, leaving them looking as pristine as the day you bought them.
EDITOR'S PICK
According to Tymia Yvette, professional makeup and lash artist, a single pair of false eyelashes can be good for multiple uses. "You can reuse strip lashes two or three times," Yvette says.
Knowing how to clean your fake eyelashes without ruining them can extend the life of your falsies and save you money. Here are some tips from the pros.
How to Remove Fake Eyelashes
Listen, no one is super fond of touching their eyes, but removing fake lashes with tweezers, picking at them with your nails, or clamping and yanking with an eyelash curler can seriously damage your fake lashes—not to mention your, you know, eye. The best way to peel off your false lashes:
1. Thoroughly wash your hands with antibacterial soap.
2. Grip the outer corner of your false lashes between your thumb and forefinger, and then gently tug them off. If you're using bunches of individual lashes, take them out section by section with your fingers. The key word here is gentle—you don't want to pull the real thing out alongside your false lashes!
3. Use eye makeup remover and a cotton ball to clean any remaining glue from your real lashes. It can be tempting to pick at pesky glue clumps, but don't give in—if you do, you'll be so much more likely to pull away a sticky glob of your own eyelashes.
How to Clean False Eyelashes
Most of us apply a coat or two of mascara over our fake lashes because, hey, anything worth doing is worth doing right. But product buildup can lead to creased, broken, and gunky-looking fake lashes, not to mention opening up the possibility of getting an eye infection next time you wear them. However, you've probably got all the products you need to clean your false eyelashes in your medicine cabinet right now.
1. Start with cotton swabs, paper towels, and either rubbing alcohol or oil-free eye makeup remover.
2. Place the false lashes on a paper towel and douse the end of your cotton swab in alcohol or eye makeup remover, squeezing off any excess product.
3. Use the cotton swab to gently rub away eye makeup and glue from your lashes, making sure to pay extra attention to the lash bands, which usually get pretty gross.
4. Finish the makeup removal process by using another cotton swab dipped in warm water to clean off any remaining mascara.
5. Never squeeze your false lashes dry after cleaning them! Let them air dry on a paper towel.
Investing in a spray bottle for your cleanser can help make cleaning a cinch, according to Noël Jacoboni, a pro makeup artist in New York City.
"I would suggest placing the lashes on a clean, dry tissue and spraying with alcohol," Jacoboni says. "Granted, this doesn't work for all types of lashes but has a great return rate for me. This is mostly for synthetic fiber lashes and not natural fiber lashes. Make sure you know the difference!"
Mink lashes, made from natural fiber, generally don't need any additional mascara. If you'd like to wear mascara with them, use it only on your real eyelashes before applying your mink lashes. When you're finished wearing them, gently remove glue with tweezers. Water and cleaning products will cause them to lose their shape.
Another way to clean mascara from synthetic false eyelashes is to soak cotton pads in alcohol or eye makeup remover and lightly press lash strips between pads to dissolve eye makeup. When the pads come away clean, finish washing your lashes by pressing them between two cotton pads soaked in warm water.
How to Remove Eyelash Glue
After you finish cleaning the mascara off your false lashes, you'll probably still have a few glue clumps stuck to the lash bands. Don't try to scrape or scrub them off. Instead, use a pair of tweezers to pull away any remaining glue.
Time to Store Them
When you buy a great new set of fake eyelashes, don't toss the box! Instead, use it to store and shape your lashes until the next time you need them.
And remember, a used set of lashes is for your personal stash only. "Never bring a used pair of lashes to a professional or makeup counter to have them applied," Jacoboni says. "Reuse is for personal application only. There's a risk of spreading eye infections to the professional—I never allow my clients to bring me used lashes for application. They need to buy a new pair every time."
While it may feel a little silly to stand over your bathroom counter diligently swabbing a set of eyelashes, knowing how to clean your false eyelashes means that not only will they last longer, but the next time you wear them, it will be a lot easier to place the lash naturally on top of your real lash line without a bunch of gummy buildup. There's really nothing worse than having someone point out the fuzz in your eyelashes, only to have to explain that, no, it's eyelash glue, not some kind of weird eye dandruff.

Kimberly Snyder Gives Us 5 Reasons to Quit Counting Calories for Good
We’re not into counting calories. We know it works for some people, but the majority of the time it’s super stressful, often inaccurate, and slightly embarrassing to whip out a calculator before every meal. It also takes the focus away from enjoying what we are actually eating: Should I log this frozen yogurt as 205 calories or 225 calories? Just eat the damn fro-yo, friends.
Kimberly Snyder, nutritionist and New York Times best-selling author of The Beauty Detox series and Radical Beauty, knows a thing or two about staying healthy, and guess what? She doesn't count a single calorie. So we asked for her top tips on how she lives a healthy life and maintains her weight without paying attention to numbers. Turns out, it's totally possible. Here's what she had to say.
1. Just eat the right foods.
The old-school way of "dieting" was to eat healthy foods and exercise. Sounds simple, right? But nowadays we are getting too consumed with counting carbs and calories. For me, when I put the focus on eating a fiber-filled, plant-based diet full of greens, fresh fruits, veggies, seeds, nuts, and healthy whole grains, I always feel satisfied and energetic, and I'm not counting a single number.
When you look at food holistically (meaning, look at all it has to offer, not just the caloric value it's adding to your plate), you can evaluate how a food is going to affect your overall health rather than trying to figure out how to balance a bunch of numbers.
When you stop obsessing over calorie counting, you can start to pick up on signs of how your body is reacting to certain foods you are eating and then you can get a much better sense of how it's really making you feel. Yogurt may be 100 calories per serving and a healthy choice for some people, but if dairy doesn't sit well with you, maybe eating a 200-calorie oatmeal is the better bet.
2. Focus on the lifestyle, not the diet.
The idea of counting calories was only introduced a few decades ago, and before that, people were making out just fine. They were slimmer as a whole and mostly stuck to unprocessed foods (the snack aisle wasn't as robust as it is now). Then counting calories became the norm for anyone who wanted to lose weight, but the problem is that it never seems to work for the long term. It's like a full-time math class, and who wants to stick to that?!
It also doesn’t take into account how eating high-fiber foods keeps you far more full than foods without it. So you can eat up all of your "allotted calories" for lunch and still be starving. How miserable is that?
When you’re hangry, you may not realize it but it can negatively affect your focus in all other areas of your life. You're easily irritated, you don't have the energy to work out, and you might not sleep as well either. Think about eating as a lifestyle, not a math-based diet, and leave the calculator at home the next time you go out to dinner.
3. Don't get caught up in keeping track of each number you’re consuming.
If I haven't made my point yet, let me be clear: Counting calories is not something I encourage for anyone. Ever. It’s not the best way of evaluating what or when to eat, or if something is healthy or not. This brownie only has 150 calories, it must be good for me! Not quite.
Some people start off counting calories and feel like the numbers give them control over what they are eating, but really, it can do the opposite. Numbers are simple, but our bodies are complex. Though some people may be temporarily successful in losing weight by counting calories—how long can you really keep it off? And how much energy are you using just to count every single meal? Probably too much to make it last.
I work with many different clients, but for the majority, when we just put the numbers aside, it becomes easier to lose or maintain weight. By removing the numbers, it makes it easier to achieve your health goals in general and have more energy.
4. Do you define yourself by a list of numbers? Probably not.
Can you imagine if we only defined ourselves by how much we weigh, or our age, or the size jeans we wear? They’re fixed numbers, that, frankly, don't mean a lot. (We've all seen the 95-year-old woman doing yoga.) These fixed numbers are out of tune with what's really going on inside our bodies. Guys, we’re so much more than numbers can ever express or quantify.
If you’re not going to categorize and restrict yourself to a quantitative description, why would you want to do it with your food?
5. Listen to your body rather than trying to force yourself to over or undereat.
If you’re not hungry first thing in the morning, don’t eat right away. (Just because you've heard that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" doesn't necessarily make it true.) Don’t eat just because you feel that you should or because some diet plan said you need a certain number of snacks per day to keep your metabolism burning.
If your body is still hard at work digesting the last meal you ate, the last thing it needs is a snack. Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're satisfied, and if you ate too much at one sitting, don't worry because that one meal won't ruin your entire healthy eating plan.
The Takeaway
Eat well, get in your daily exercise, and don't worry about the numbers going in. You'll lose focus on what's really important, and that's getting in nutritionally dense foods as often as possible yet still enjoying a cupcake every now and then (without asking the baker how many calories are in it!).

Weight Loss - The Concept Of Food Volumization
When you are on a fat loss plan, one concept you should keep in mind is that of food volumizing. This refers to how much food you can eat at a given calorie level. Consider it "food density" so to speak. How much food is going to be permitted without going over your calorie target? This is a critical concept to consider because eating a lower calorie intake is what is necessary for fat loss to occur, and you need to get control over your hunger. If you are planning to eat say 1200 calories per day, and you choose to go for a fast food gourmet burger, fries, and large soda, there is a good chance that is all you will be "allowed" to eat for the entire day.
