How to Keep Your Pet Healthy. You can choose and plan your own diet, but your pet doesn’t have that luxury, and it eats whatever you’re giving it. Even if you only want the best for your pet, you’re likely to make some common mistakes and feed it some foods that are dangerous for its health and can even kill it. How to avoid food poisoning in your pet? Onion and garlic, for example, have a chemical in them that destroys an animal's red blood cells, causing anemia, which, in severe cases, can do serious damage to the internal organs. Bones are a great source of minerals and nutrients for your canine companion, but poultry bones, like chicken or turkey, as well as pork bones and any cooked bones are strictly forbidden. The same goes for coffee, chocolate, ice cream, and tomatoes.

What would happen if you quit showering for a year? While there hasn’t been much experimentation on this subject, scientists do still know some consequences of this dirty decision. So let’s find out exactly what they are!

The good news is that it won't kill you. So, there’s that. The bad news is that you definitely won't be a happy camper in the end or along the way.

Without proper exfoliation, your skin will quickly become either super oily or really dry. And it doesn't matter which one it's gonna be, both imbalances lead to an overgrowth of yeast and bacteria. According to Dr. Carolyn Jacob, the director of Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, the oiliest parts of your body, such as your armpits, behind your ears, and so on, would slowly collect dirt and pollutants.

Let’s keep this nasty snowball going. The next major trouble you’ll face is that you'd become way more prone to different types of infections. Since washing your hair and scalp come along with showering, then prepare yourself for some major itching on your head. As for a whole year without washing your face in the shower, your face would be covered in zits! And, of course, where there’s bacteria and broken skin, there can be infections and health problems, so it’s not just all about aesthetics here.

There’s actually a guy named Rob Greenfield who went a whole year without showering.

According to the experts, there are a couple of tips that you should follow in order to shower the right way. Make sure the water temperature is not too hot because hot water will suck the moisture from your skin by removing a lot of your natural oils. Long showers can dry out your skin as well. Having two or three showers a day will do the same thing, so it's not that great of an idea either. Instead of lathering up your entire body, it's better to just stick to the areas with a bunch of sweat glands, such as your armpits, groin, underneath the breasts, and wherever else you tend to sweat a lot.

If you want to lose that extra stubborn weight and get the perfect body but have no time or energy to work out at the gym, there is an easy effective weight-dropping solution for you.

Believe it or not, it's way easier than it seems, you just have to give up certain everyday habits and replace them with healthy alternatives. So let's see what can help you get the body of your dreams with minimal effort!

The added sugar and preservatives in canned vegetables remove a lot of their vitamin content. Then you just end up with a not-so-healthy product that only makes you gain weight.

Even when it comes to dried fruit and nuts, know your limits and do everything in moderation, and you’ll see big changes in your weight and appearance. Don’t forget that dietologists suggest having fruit only in the first half of the day. They say it’s even better to eat fruit for breakfast first thing in the morning because it strengthens your immune system and keeps infections at bay.

If you want to be healthy and lose weight, you’ve got to give up the sour cream. The main problem is that it's way too high in fat! Change it up with some natural Greek yogurt.

To cut down on hundreds of extra calories, you may want to hold off on the cream and sugar and try to drink it black. Again, it sounds gross at first, but you can get used to it with time.

You consume about 1,000 calories every time you go to a restaurant, so try eating something light at home before going out. Just try it at least once, and you’ll notice that you’ve had only a couple slices of pizza instead of the whole pie! And if you do this regularly, you'll find yourself losing weight faster than you'd think.

Light meals contain much fewer calories and don’t leave you with that heavy feeling of being so full that you can't even look at food. So don't forget about this important switch before you begin your diet plan.
