You Are Definitely. Extraordinary. And. Fantastic

Hi, my name is Nadira Norris and I would like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself.I was born in Montreal, Quebec and moved to To-ronto with my family when I was three years old. I attended Bridlewood Junior Public School and later moved on to Northern Secondary School, I graduated from Agincourt Collegiate Institute. Throughout my childhood and Adolescent years I was a very enthusiastic student who played nu-merous sports along with performing arts. Vol-leyball, basketball and track and field were my favorite sports of them all.

After graduating from high school I was con-fused about what my career would, should and could be due to my hearing loss. At this point in time I continued to grow into a woman of cu-riosity. I had tried my best to making the right

decisions that would not affect my future in a negative way. Most of all I believe that develop-ing integrity is an important aspect to obtain. I always developed a mind-set from childhood to seek my accomplishments from within, while re-ceiving very limited to no help at all. I knew that I always wanted to become a woman who estab-lished her career and the life that she deserved. However, I still didn’t know who I wanted to be professionally at this time. From my teen years I had developed a metaphor for the meaning of life and I still continue to live by this quote; “Life is like a book! It has a chapter of our life expe-riences that are imprinted in our mind." As you grow and experience new moments you have developed a new chapter to your life and so the story continues. Life is about growing and evolv-ing.

Who I Am

I developed a new chapter in my life in 2007 when God had granted and blessed with me a beautiful daughter who I love very much and is my inspiration along with my mother and foremost God. Having my daughter had made me realize that being a mother is incredible and can’t compre-hend the emotion that comes with it. From this moment I realized that I want to make a different in people’s lives especially my community. I want to be a motivational speaker for the deaf and hard of hearing children’s and student, furthermore, I want to establish a magazine which is now be-ing accomplished. This magazine will pres-ent topics about the world around us as well as within our community. I also want

to address articles of those who struggled but got up, those who established a ca-reer that they desired. I want to present so much more because we are worth it like everyone else. Everybody has a magazine that is published and relates to them in some way. Now we have one too in Can-ada and I am proud to say that it’s called D.E.A.F MAGAZINE.

I will continue to make my dreams come true, and that is to wake up every morning being proud and feeling good about my-self because of the accomplishment that I made and will continue to make.

My Life Begins

What is D.E.A.F MAGAZINE

D.E.A.F MAGAZINE (Definitely, Extraordinary, and Fantastic) is a sole proprietorship owned by Nadira Norris-Charles who is also hard of hearing. This business is located in Mississauga, Ontario. D.E.A.F MAGAZINE is a Lifestyle trends publication that re-flects cultural within the Deaf, Deafened, Hard of Hearing community.Furthermore, it will enhance the experiences of diverse minorities, and attract vari-ous women and men globally, appealing to a broad array of individuals despite eth-nicity, socioeconomic class, and other social concerns. Therefore, this business will motivate, inspire, and encourage clients to achieve their goals. Ms. Norris believes that everyone can succeed and accomplish anything that they want, need and de-sire. We aim to provide an opportunity for individuals to explore their potential and to find guidance on their personal journey. Primarily, we will focus on the five most important aspects fundamental to one’s well being such as; hope, faith, belief, be-longing and self esteem. A drastic increase in individuals who have been born with or who have developed a progressive hearing loss is now apparent and these indi-viduals experience marginalization and lack of opportunity in life. The development of this magazine provides a resource for members of the deaf community to obtain employment, and will be the one and the only magazine providing compelling in-formation to the specific demographic. Nonetheless, D.E.A.F MAGAZINE will draw attention to those who want to know about the deaf world such as teachers, manag-ers, corporations and community centers that specialize in deaf and hard of hearing clientele.

In today’s world, applying a healthful approach to one’s eating habits is often referred to as being on a diet; which is often defined by its verb form, as restricting one’s food choices. However, the word diet entails the intake or con-sumption of food for nutritional benefit. Therefore if you EAT, you are on a diet. The truth is, we are ALL on a diet. For example, some of us are on a ‘fast food diet’, ‘a red diet’, or ‘I eat whatever I want diet’, or known conventional “di-ets”, like a vegan diet or vegetarian diet. It’s safe to say we all hold our own perception of the word. As a result of our skewed perception, we tend to alienate the word ‘diet’ as something temporary, unattainable, and nearly impossi-ble. The most important tasks we face today, in which the majority of us really need to begin to put into perspective is maintaining a balanced diet; which will 1) contribute to

our overall health and well-being 2)Sustain health over a period of time, and 3) reduce the chance of nutrient defi-ciencies and sickness or disease. What is a balanced diet? A balanced diet includes eating nutritional (quality) foods that provide the carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins and minerals needed for the body to sustain optimal health. In other words, the majority, if not all of your meals should contain the following; colour and variety. Most of our colourful foods come from fruit and vegetables, which should be approximately 50% of each meal. To create variety, make smart choices from other food groups like starch, grains, poultry, meat, diary, nuts, and legumes. The following are smart foods from the food groups listed: brown rice (starch), lean poultry/meat, almonds, (nuts), natural Greek yogurt (diary).

Healthful Approach to Your Daily Life

1) Be consistent; generate a routine that will allow yourself to be consis-tent on a daily or weekly basis.

2) Create your own meals: home prepped meals tend to have more nu-tritional value and less harmful sub-stances then fast food

3) Choose colour and be diverse; when your choosing foods to pur-chase, keep this in mind.

Embrace Yourself

Today is the day that I embrace

Today is the day that I received hope and faith

Today is the day that I feel and know that I can

Conquer the world

To be who I desire to be

A wife, a mother and a daughter to my family

With everything I have, my spirit and soul

Today is going to be the day that I embrace a brand

New me

The day where I conquer the world that I see

I will stand tall and give my everlasting love

Because today is the day that I embrace my identity

Losing stubborn belly fat can be tough especially if you don’t know want exercises to do. Research has shown that carrying excess belly fat puts people at risk for heart disease and cancer compared to those their carry their fat in other areas of the body. Your diet, stress, and sleep levels play a major role in destroying most of your belly fat, however doing the right workouts can lit-erally allow you torch the fat.

So the question is, what workouts and exercises are effective for eliminating belly fat? Here are some tips from our online person-al trainer. Here are 6 tips to Eliminate Belly Fat with Online Personal Train-ing – 1. Aim to incorporate exercises that involve the entire body or multiple muscle groups

By incorporating exercises that target the entire body or multi-ple muscle groups you burn more calories. This is especially true when you target the larger muscle groups such as your legs.

Examples include:

Burpees with Push-upsKettlebell SwingsSquat and RowSquat PressSplit LungeJump SquatsRenegade row with Push-ups

2. Increase the intensity of your workouts

In a study published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, people who completed a high-intensity workout regimen lost more belly fat than those who followed a low-in-tensity plan (In fact, the low-intensity exercises experienced no significant changes at all). High intensity workouts mean you’re going all out for as long as you can. If this sounds intimidating, think of it this way: you’ll burn more calories in less time. 3. Include both strength training and cardio workouts

The more muscle you have, the more calories you’re able to burn during rest. “You need to do a combination of weights and cardio-vascular training,” says Sangeeta Kashyap, MD, an endocrinolo-

gist at Cleveland Clinic. Strength training increases muscle mass, which sets your body up to burn more fat. “Muscle burns more calories than fat, and therefore you naturally burn more calories throughout the day by having more muscle,” says Kate Patton, a registered dietitian at Cleveland Clinic. Patton recommends 250 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 125 minutes of high-intensity exercise a week. If you need help with accountability, use of our online personal trainer. 4. Incorporate circuit and interval training into your workout rou-tines

A circuit is a series of exercises in succession with minimal rest in between the sets (an example is exercise 1 – 5 in Example 1 be-low). An interval represents a segment of time or period of work (for example, 30 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest). Both circuit and interval training have been shown to torch fat off the waistline. See some examples below. Example 1 – Circuit 1 (no rest between sets)1. Jumping Jacks (2 mins)2. Squats (1 min)3. Burpees (2 mins)4. Push-ups (1 min)5. Rest (1 min)*Please note: Interval segments are 2 mins and 1 min in this ex-ample Example 2 – Circuit 2 (rest within sets)1. Jumping Jacks (2 mins [4 rounds] – 20 seconds work, 10 sec-onds rest) – this is also an interval time2. Squats (1 min [2 rounds] – 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest)3. Burpees (2 mins [4 rounds])4. Push-ups (1 min [2 rounds])5. Rest (30 s – 1 min) 5. Change your workouts periodically

Doing the same workout week-after-week will eventually lead to a plateau. The goal is to keep your body guessing, allowing it to work in different ways. It’s best to change your complete workout plan every 4 weeks or your workouts every week.

6. Do challenging workoutsSimply focus on doing exercises that challenge you. If the work-out doesn't test you physically, then your body won't respond to it the way it would if the workout was easy. In order to see contin-ued results, you must challenge yourself!

Toronto, ON – Your Fit Body Now, Canada’s largest on-line personal training company realizes that fitness apps can be a powerful tool; however if not paired with personal training, there is no guarantee of weight loss success.Mobile health and fitness apps are soaring in popular-ity as more people have the ability to count calories, track fitness progress and make their own workouts. However recent studies show there is no guarantee to improve a user’s health, let alone allow them to lose weight. The findings don’t mean fitness apps don’t work for people who want to lose weight, said the study’s lead author, Dr. B. Yoshi Laing from the Martin Luther King Jr. Outpatient Center in Los Angeles. Instead, simply rec-ommending it does not lead to weight loss, compared to people who don’t get recommendations. "This just shows us again that losing weight is really tough," said Dr. B. Yoshi Laing. The new study published in journal Annals of Internal Medicine has revealed that weight loss can't just hap-pen by using a fitness app unless people remain fully committed. In order to conduct the study, the research-ers looked at data from over 200 overweight or obese patients over a span of six months. Half of the partici-

pants were assigned and instructed to use a popular fitness app, while the other participants were told to choose their own activities to lose weight. Researchers found that the difference in weight lost between the two groups was not that noteworthy as overall level of weight loss was minimal.According to Travis Edwards of Your Fit Body Now, one of the biggest problems that people face when trying to lose weight or stay healthy is sticking to unrealistic goals and expectations. “A fitness app can be a useful tool for monitoring day-to-day progress, but it should not be used solely by itself. This is where working with an online personal trainer becomes extremely help-ful. They help you set realistic goals, provide support and motivation as well as hold you accountable. Most importantly, they keep you committed to your goals. We ensure that individuals use both a fitness app and an online personal trainer doubling their chance of weight loss success.”Your Fit Body Now provides its clients with an online personal trainer in Toronto among other cities in Ontar-io including Mississauga, Hamilton, Vaughan, Pickering and Ottawa. The company offers customized work-outs, nutrition tracking tools and meal plans through their online portal and fitness app.

Fitness App's are not for everybody to lose weight' according to studies
