How to Become a Better Version of Yourself

[ninetynine]

Below is a list of things that anyone can do to become more attractive and/or healthy.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Work Out and Eat Better

Work to become lean and fit. For weight loss and toning, focus on cardiovascular exercises (running, bike riding, swimming, etc). A nice body will significantly raise attractiveness level, and working out in general will significantly help with confidence and stress.

As for eating healthy, here are some dos and don'ts:

Do

- drink more water (staying hydrated also adds color to your face and gives your skin a natural glow)

- eat more whole foods and vegetables

- cook at home often, as opposed to going out to eat all the time

- limit your intake of meat

Don't

- drink soda or sugary drinks

- snack on processed junk-food

Practice Good Posture

Keep your head up and shoulders back when you're walking. Good posture exudes confidence, an attractive quality. Certain exercises can help fix bad posture, as exemplified in the video below.

Go Shopping for Clothes

Get a nice clothing and shoes style, and put more effort into what you wear on a daily basis. Looking put together will make you more attractive and approachable.

Have a Bedtime

Go to bed at a decent time and allow yourself 8 hours of sleep. This is important for your health and will give you the energy to make the most out of your days.

Whiten Teeth

Whiten your teeth to brighten your smile. Crest 3D Whitestrips work great. Look at what a difference it can make.

Spend Less Time on the Internet

It’s easy to spend a lot of time on the internet; it’s fun, entertaining, and you can do it in your underwear. But try to go out and experience life more. Go to more local events. Browse bookstores. Try new cafes or restaurants. Go hiking. Jog on a trail. Meet people; talk to strangers.

Get off your ass , stop eating junk, decrease the sugar & increase the meats !

just thinking of sugar reminds me of Morgan Spurlock when his nutritionist has that tub of sugar in front of him [ eww ] the clear tub of fat no thanks !

Quit sugar free , cause it's only making you fatter! Stevia won't make you fat!

All artificial sweeteners are not created equal

The FDA has approved five artificial sweeteners: saccharin, acesulfame, aspartame, neotame, and sucralose. It has also approved one natural low-calorie sweetener, stevia. How the human body and brain respond to these sweeteners is very complex.

One concern is that people who use artificial sweeteners may replace the lost calories through other sources, possibly offsetting weight loss or health benefits, says Dr. Ludwig. This can happen because we like to fool ourselves: “I’m drinking diet soda, so it’s okay to have cake.” The AHA and ADA also added this caveat to their recommendation.

It’s also possible that these products change the way we taste food. “Non-nutritive sweeteners are far more potent than table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. A miniscule amount produces a sweet taste comparable to that of sugar, without comparable calories. Overstimulation of sugar receptors from frequent use of these hyper-intense sweeteners may limit tolerance for more complex tastes,” explains Dr. Ludwig. That means people who routinely use artificial sweeteners may start to find less intensely sweet foods, such as fruit, less appealing and unsweet foods, such as vegetables, downright unpalatable.

In other words, use of artificial sweeteners can make you shun healthy, filling, and highly nutritious foods while consuming more artificially flavored foods with less nutritional value.

“Sugar-containing foods in their natural form, whole fruit, for example, tend to be highly nutritious—nutrient-dense, high in fiber, and low in glycemic load. On the other hand, refined, concentrated sugar consumed in large amounts rapidly increases blood glucose and insulin levels, increases triglycerides, inflammatory mediators and oxygen radicals, and with them, the risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other chronic illnesses,” Dr. Ludwig explains.

I think I’ll have a glass of water and an apple.

just for the record, whitening your teeth is actually bad for a number of reasons, some of the active ingredients in whitening products is titanium oxide and concentrated hydrogen peroxide that when absorbed into your teeth will cause the nerve endings and pulp chamber to become damaged and eventually recede, and if you take whitening treatments then the super bright UV lamps they use will dry your teeth so much that it'll become brittle and will absorb anything and everything until it no longer can, drinking anything besides water will permanently discolor the affected teeth (yes even milk)

[renogaza]

also on top of that, teeth that are whitened tend to look completely fake as opposed to normal teeth, no living being on earth has natural teeth as white as lacquer paint, not even a new born baby.

"A nice body will significantly raise attractiveness level, and working out in general will significantly help with confidence and stress."

My experience is the opposite. Working out has made no difference to how women perceive me and has become the main source of insecurity and stress in my life. If you are ugly going to the gym will not save you.

[19MK34]

All of this stuff is pretty fixated on peoples looks, which are the one thing you have almost no control over, its almost entirely genetic whether or not you are attractive to the opposite sex.

[ninetynine]

I didn't say working out would "save you" or make you attractive.

I said that being in shape looks better than being out of shape. Getting in shape makes people look more attractive (or less unattractive).

[19MK34]

You said it will "significantly raise attractiveness level". It doesn't do that.

[ninetynine]

I guess it's a matter of opinion. I think it does significantly help a lot of the time. I do see what you're saying though, maybe I shouldn't have included that word.

[19MK34]

In my experience working out has done nothing to make me more attractive to women. It hasn't even made my body more attractive to women.

[Truthatanycost]

Has your body changed a lot from working out?

[19MK34]

@Truthatanycost Not really. I've gained 25lbs but still look skinny and weak because I have a narrow bone structure. It's unlikely women would ever find my body attractive.

[Fathoms77]

I try and practice 4 of those 6 on a routine basis. :)

[ninetynine]

Nice! I need to work on the getting more sleep one, haha.

[YourFutureEx]

Apart from whitening my teeth, I do all of these. I brush my teeth tho.
I love your avatar :D

[NajemEddine]

najemeddine = the brightest star in the sky
i can't do better than that 😂 😂 😂
but srsl good advices

[Thetruthfullathiest]

That's not allways how it works the metabolism in your dna will either make skinny to a limit fat to a limit or somewhere in the middle

[Fathoms77]

I really can't believe people still believe this.

Tell you what: Drop someone who uses the slow metabolism or DNA excuse on a remote island somewhere and come back in a month.

If they haven't lost weight, I'll give you eight trillion dollars.

[ninetynine]

@Thetruthfullathiest There's a simple formula to losing weight: burn more calories than what you consume. Obviously losing weight will take more time and effort for people who are overweight, but it's not an impossible feat (unless you have some sort of rare disease, which the vast majority of people do not). Exercise helps to boost your metabolism.

Also, I hope I didn't imply that "lean and fit" looks the same on everyone, because it doesn't. We all have different bone structures and fat distributions and whatnot.

I'm totally going to do this in college in 3 days.
Bookmarked it ;)

[Colton5]

Nice!

But about the teeth one, toothpaste doesn't seem to deal with the problem radically?

[COCOCHANEL]

[Prettyapathetic]

Bedtime is the hardest 😭😭😭

[ElissaDido]
