Wild Salmon
Slimming Superpowers The fish’s omega-3 fatty acids could help you fight flab more effectively. They alter the expression of certain genes, shifting your body to burn fat rather than store it. The amazing proof In a study analyzing the diets of 35,000 women, published in Public Health Nutrition, those subjects who ate oily fish such as salmon two to four times per week had the lowest basal metabolic indexes, a common measure of body fat.
Quinoa
Slimming Superpowers A complete protein, quinoa has all the essential amino acids needed to build metabolism-revving muscle. The amazing proof Reduced-calorie dieters eating about 115 g of protein daily lost 22 percent more fat after four months than those who ate 70 g per day, The Journal of Nutrition reports.
Kiwifruit
Slimming Superpowers A large kiwi has 84 milligrams of vitamin C—more than a day’s quota. C helps form carnitine, a compound that transports fat into cell mitochondria, where it’s burned for energy during exercise. The amazing proof People with low blood levels of C burned 10 percent less fat per pound of body weight while walking than did those with normal levels of C, a study at Arizona State University in Mesa shows. But when subjects got a dose of C, their fat burning increased fourfold.

Dear Fellow Tumblr,

I understand you and I don’t know each other, but I understand you’re a fitspo/thinspo blog. While you are out there everyday trying to change your life for the better, whether that being losing weight or to tone your body, there are hundreds of kids out there that will never be able to make these decisions. Right now, you have a choice to change your life for the positive, but for many it’s not even an option. There are many kids out there dying. Many kids who will never learn how to ride a bike or fly a kite. I am asking you to support me in a 12 hour dance marathon supporting the children of our future.

Support me!

I will be participating in the fundraising efforts of the Terp Thon charity organization for the upcoming year!

Terp Thon is a Dance Marathon and a part of the largest collegiate philanthropy in the country! Terp Thon benefits the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., which is the local affiliate of the Children’s Miracle Network. One hundred percent of the funds raised will go towards the hospital’s greatest needs, ensuring that children from our area will continue to receive world class care regardless of their ability to pay. This spring, Terp Thon will be hosting the 3rd annual Dance Marathon at the University of Maryland. Last year, we became the most successful second-year Dance Marathon in history, raising over $140,000. This year we are looking to raise even more to help create miracles!

Terp Thon cannot be successful without the help of family and friends. I have set a personal fundraising goal of $500, and would sincerely appreciate any donation that you are able to offer. Donating online is safe and easy! If you want to donate, please visit my personal fundraising page, and click on the “support me!” button. Remember, any contribution will help, and all donations are tax deductible. Help save a child’s life; help create a miracle!

Thank you for considering this request for your support.

For the Kids,

Jonathan Yuen

Support me!

Please. Even if you can spare $1, you are making a difference. Let these kids have the opportunity to make the same decisions you have made to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
