Eye contact flirting is the easiest and safest way to get the message across and get a sign back in no time.
It’s simple, instinctive and something that all of us indulge in.
Eye contact flirting is exciting, no matter where you are.
It doesn’t matter if you like someone or not.
If someone stares at you now and then, it instantly catches your attention and rouses your interest.
You could stare at someone and exchange a few stolen glances.
Or you could try to strike up a conversation.
Flirting by eye contact is safe, fun and an easy way to find out if someone is interested in knowing you better, without the pressure of making the first move.
The happy side of eye contact flirting
Let’s face it, eye contact flirting is harmless.
You could exchange a glance on the street or while having coffee at a restaurant.
As long as it’s mutual, it’s a fun and flirty experience that can bring a smile at the end of the day. [Read: Why some guys stare even when the girl isn't interested]
Who doesn’t love a few stolen glances now and then, even if you don’t intend to date that person?
The best part of eye contact flirting is the fact that it can help you gauge someone’s interest in you without even asking them out. And secondly, you can let someone know you’re interested in them and warm them up to a first date without even saying ‘hello’.
10 eye contact flirting moves to get someone interested in you
What do you do when you see someone you like at a coffee shop or at a party? If you’re not sure what to do, well, eye contact flirting may be the best thing in the world to help you get their attention and make an impression in no time.
Just use these 10 simple eye contact flirting tips and you’ll be able to get the right message across. [Read: Reasons why guys are so crazy about breasts]
#1 Casually stare now and then. See someone you like? Casually stare at the person now and then. Soon enough, the one you like will notice you back.
#2 Exchange a fleeting glimpse. Don’t be hasty or you’ll end up looking like an annoying stalker. When the person you like catches you staring and stares back at you with curiosity, lock eyes for a second and look away immediately.
#3 Repeat the glances. Look at the person you like again. Stare at him or her, but look away immediately as soon they look back at you. Don’t linger and stare back for more than a second just yet. [Read: First glances and love at first sight]
#4 Let them know what’s on your mind. At first, the person you like may assume it’s a passing glance. But as they catch you sneaking a few glances now and then, they’d understand that you’re interested in them. Don’t stare for more than a second because you’ll kill the excitement. Instead, build the excitement.
#5 Build the excitement. Now that you’ve got the one you like looking back at you now and then to see if you’re still staring, it’s time to build the excitement. Stop staring for a couple of minutes. Wait for them to stare at you now and then.
The person you like will wonder why you aren’t staring anymore and may start to stare at you more often, to check if you’re still staring. By doing this, you’re actually making the one you like as interested as you are in building the staring game.
#6 Reverse the eye contact flirting. Notice the one you like from the corner of your eye. Don’t stare directly, but keep an eye on the person you like. Wait for that person to look at you. And just as the one you like looks at you, stare back at that person. By doing that, you’re now discreetly making it appear like they’re the one interested in looking at you, and not the other way around.
#7 Stare for a longer duration. You’ve been exchanging fleeting glances until now, but now that you’ve got the one you like excitedly waiting for you to stare back, lock eyes for more than a second before looking away. [Read: 10 tips to look sexy without trying]
#8 Smile and blush. Talk to your friends or appear busy, and stare for a second or two. And each time, look away smiling or blushing in an obvious manner. Don’t smile while staring just yet. Always smile only while looking away.
#9 Watch their response. Is this person looking at you as often as you’re looking at them? If they are, it’s working and you’re on your way to a fun evening. If the one you like isn’t reciprocating your glances no matter what you do, they’re not interested, so give up and move on. You can’t win all your eye contact flirting games.
#10 Smile while staring. Now that you’re certain that the one you like is equally interested in staring at you and exchanging stolen glances, it’s time to take the plunge. During one of your longer glances, look straight into their eyes and stretch a little smile. There’s no turning back here. If the person smiles back, you’ve struck jackpot. If the one you’re staring at looks shocked or looks away hastily, they just need a little more time to warm up.
If the smile’s worked in your favor, here’s what you need to do. If you’re the girl, give the guy an opportunity to talk to you. If you’re the guy, what are you waiting for, make a move!

# Acknowledge his stare and drop a few signs to get him to talk to you. If you’re taking a trip to the ladies room alone, look towards the ladies room when he’s looking at you, look back at him, smile and get up. Walk slowly and look at him one more time as you walk by.

Acid reflux is an extremely common health problem, affecting as many as 50% of the US population. Other terms used for this condition are gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or peptic ulcer disease.
Symptoms of acid reflux, or GERD, include:
- Heartburn - Hoarseness
- Wheezing - Feeling food stuck in throat
- Asthma - Tightness in throat
- Dental problems - Bad breath
Typically, acid reflux is believed to be caused by excessive stomach acid production. However, this "conventional wisdom" has been shown to be incorrect.
What's the REAL Cause of Acid Reflux?
It's important to understand that acid reflux is NOT due to having too much acid in your stomach, but rather it's a condition related more commonly to hiatal hernia – a condition in which the acid comes out of your stomach, which is where it's designed to be confined to.
After food passes through your esophagus into your stomach, a muscular valve called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) closes, preventing food or acid from moving back up. Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when the LES relaxes inappropriately, allowing acid from your stomach to flow (reflux) backward into your esophagus.
In the early 80s, Dr. Barry Marshall, an Australian physician, discovered that an organism called Helicobacter pylori (initially called Campylobacter) causes a chronic low-level inflammation of your stomach lining, which is largely responsible for producing many of the symptoms of acid reflux.
One of the explanations for why suppressing stomach acid is so ineffective - and there are over 16,000 articles in the medical literature attesting to this - is because when you decrease the amount of acid in your stomach, you suppress your body's ability to kill the Helicobacterbacteria!
So suppressing stomach acid production tends to just worsen and perpetuate the condition. I'll elaborate on the hazards of these drugs, but first, let's review a few gems from the medical literature.
Some Natural Remedies Work Better than Drugs - Including Water!
The first study... in Digestive Diseases and Sciences, found that even something as simple as drinking water can help suppress acute symptoms of acid reflux by temporarily raising stomach pH. [pH is a scale of zero to 14 that measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. A pH of zero is most acidic; normal stomach acid level is about 2 or 3; water is neutral at pH 7; and pH 14 is most alkaline.]
A dozen subjects were given either:

A pH of zero is most acidic; normal stomach acid level is about 2 or 3; water is neutral at pH 7; and pH 14 is most alkaline.]
A dozen subjects were given either:
1. A glass of water
2. Antacid [alkaline base plus chemical helper such as magnesium; e.g., milk of magnesia]
3. Ranitidine [histamine receptor blocker, over the counter or prescription; e.g., Zantac]
4. Omeprazole [prescription proton pump inhibitor, e.g., Prilosec]
5. Esomeprazole [prescription PPI, e.g., Nexium]
6. Rabeprazole [prescription PPI, e.g., Aciphex].
Their gastric pH was recorded for 6 hours after each drug intake. In 10 of the 12 subjects, water increased gastric pH by more than 4 after just one minute. In contrast, antacid took two minutes, and the remaining four drugs took between 50 minutes and almost three hours to reduce pH by the same amount.
The gastric pH remained raised for three minutes after drinking water, and 12 minutes with antacids. The other drugs maintained the raised pH for at least six hours - but again, suppressing your stomach acid in this way may eventually worsen your condition, particularly if Heliobacter pylori bacteria are involved.
Now granted, drinking a large glass of water may not be sufficient for many with acid reflux (although I'd say it won't hurt to give it a try!), but this study just goes to show that very simple strategies can oftentimes accomplish what you're aiming for, without resorting to potentially dangerous drugs.
In this case, one strategy in particular should be at the very top of your list if you suffer with heartburn…
Your First Line of Treatment – Increasing Healthy Bacterial Flora
Ultimately, the answer to heartburn and acid indigestion is to restore your natural gastric balance and function. Not only is it useful for optimal gut function but it is crucial for your long-term health, as your gut flora can increase your absorption of nutrients by 50% and create useful B vitamins and vitamin K2.
It is very clear from reviewing the literature that you can't be healthy until your gut flora is optimized. That is one of the ways sugars harm you - they push your gut flora balance in the wrong direction.
So one of the first things you'll want to do is to make sure you're consuming enough good bacteria. This will help balance your bowel flora, which can help eliminate Helicobacterbacteria naturally. It will also aid in proper digestion and assimilation of your food.
Ideally, you'll want to get your beneficial bacteria from traditionally fermented foods, such as:

Ideally, you'll want to get your beneficial bacteria from traditionally fermented foods, such as:
• Natto [a traditional Japanese soy food fermented with probiotic B subtilis, producing the systemic enzyme, Nattokinase]
• Fermented vegetables, like Kimchee
• Kefir, a fermented milk drink made from RAW milk
• Yoghurt made from raw milk.
However, you can be virtually guaranteed that if you are purchasing products like yogurt and kefir from a conventional grocery store, they're worse than worthless. Not only do most of them have no live cultures but they are loaded with sugar to make them taste better.
So make sure to check the labels of any commercial products you buy, and avoid those with ANY added sugars. Also avoid pasteurized products [if possible].
Some health food stores might have the authentically fermented healthy foods but most likely you will have to make them yourself or purchase them from healthy organizations like Weston Price Chapters that hook communities up to sources of these types of traditional foods [see their state-by-state directory HERE].
If you are unable to find access to these traditionally fermented foods then it makes perfect sense to use a high quality probiotic.
There is little doubt in my mind that if you can only do one or two supplements, probiotics are the one that should make the cut.
Before I move on to discuss potential drug complications and my top six recommendations to safely eliminate heartburn and acid reflux, I want to highlight four additional alternatives, based on a quick review of the medical literature.

• Sauerkraut or cabbage juice - is one of the strongest stimulants for your body to produce acid. This is a good thing as many people have low stomach acid which is the cause of their gut problems. Having a few teaspoons of cabbage juice before eating, or better yet, fermented cabbage juice from sauerkraut, will do wonders to improve your digestion.
• Astaxanthin - This exceptionally potent antioxidant was found to reduce symptoms of acid reflux in patients when compared to a placebo, particularly in those with pronounced Helicobacter pylori infection. Best results were obtained at a daily dose of 40mg.
• A dietary supplement containing melatonin, L-tryptophan, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, methionine and betaine was found to be superior to the drug omeprazole in the treatment of GERD.
Part of the success is thought to be due to melatonin’s inhibitory activity on nitric oxide biosynthesis, which plays an important role in transient lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation, which, as I mentioned earlier, is part of the real underlying problem of GERD.
Impressively, 100% of patients receiving this supplement containing melatonin, B vitamins and amino acids reported a complete regression of symptoms after 40 days of treatment, compared to just under 66% of those taking omeprazole. The authors concluded that “this formulation promotes regression of GERD symptoms with no significant side effects.”
• Ginger has been found to have a gastroprotective effect by blocking acid and suppressing Heliobacter pylori. According to a 2007 study, it’s also far superior to lansoprazole for preventing the formation of ulcers, exhibiting six- to eight-fold greater potency over the drug!
This is perhaps not all that surprising, considering that ginger root has been traditionally used against gastric disturbances since ancient times.
Drugs are NOT Advisable for Majority of Heartburn and Acid Reflux Cases
Now on to the drugs… One of the most commonly prescribed drugs for heartburn and acid reflux are proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or drugs that VERY effectively block your stomach's ability to produce acid. While that may sound like a good thing, in most cases it's the worst possible approach, because as I mentioned earlier, the problem typically stems from having too little stomach acid.
Proton pump inhibitors like Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid are severely overprescribed and misused. As a result they end up hurting far more people than they're helping, because these drugs are actually designed to treat a very limited range of severe problems.
According to Mitchell Katz, director of the San Francisco Department of Public Health, who wrote an editorial on this topic, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are only warranted for the treatment of:

According to Mitchell Katz, director of the San Francisco Department of Public Health, who wrote an editorial on this topic, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are only warranted for the treatment of:
• Bleeding ulcers
• Infection with the ulcer-causing bacteria Helicobacter pylori
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (a rare condition that causes your stomach to produce excess acid)
• Severe acid reflux, where an endoscopy has confirmed that your esophagus is damaged.
PPIs were never intended for people with heartburn, and according to Katz, "about 60% to 70% of people taking these drugs have mild heartburn and shouldn't be on them."
However, I believe the number may be even higher than that, because there are over 16,000 articles supporting the fact that suppressing stomach acid does NOT treat Helicobacter pyloriinfection (which Katz included above).
If you're taking a PPI drug to treat your heartburn you're doing two things, but neither of them is actually beneficial to your health:

If you're taking a PPI drug to treat your heartburn you're doing two things, but neither of them is actually beneficial to your health:
1. You’re treating a symptom only; you’re not addressing the underlying cause, and
2. By doing so, you’re exposing yourself to additional, and potentially more dangerous health problems, courtesy of the drug itself.
Carefully Weigh the Risks and Benefits of these Drugs Before Taking Them!
PPIs suppress the production of stomach acid, and in the severe cases listed above, they may be warranted short-term. However, since upwards of 95% of heartburn cases are not caused by too much but rather too little stomach acid, these drugs may worsen your condition.
PPI drugs are also fraught with serious side effects, including:

PPI drugs are also fraught with serious side effects, including:
• Pneumonia
• Bone loss
• Hip fractures
• Infection with Clostridium difficile, a harmful intestinal bacteria
You'll also develop both tolerance and dependence on them, so you can't stop taking them without suffering repercussions. In fact, you should NEVER stop taking proton pump inhibitors cold turkey. You have to wean yourself off them gradually or else you might experience a severe rebound of your symptoms.
Ideally, you'll want to get a lower dose than you're on now, and then gradually decrease your dose. Once you get down to the lowest dose of the PPI, you can start substituting with an over-the-counter H2 blocker like Tagamet, Cimetidine, Zantac, or Raniditine. Then gradually wean off the H2 blocker over the next several weeks.
While you wean yourself off these drugs (if you're already on one), start implementing a lifestyle modification program that can eliminate this condition once and for all.

Safe and Effective Strategies to Eliminate Heartburn and Acid Reflux
The following strategies can help you get your heartburn under control:
Eliminate food triggers - Food allergies can be a problem, so you'll want to completely eliminate items such as caffeine, alcohol, and all nicotine products.
Increase your body's natural production of stomach acid - One of the simplest strategies to encourage your body to make sufficient amounts of hydrochloric acid (stomach acid) is to consume enough of the raw material. One of the most basic food items that many people neglect is a high quality sea salt (unprocessed salt), such as Himalayan salt. Not only will it provide you with the chloride your body needs to make hydrochloric acid, it also contains over 80 trace minerals your body needs to perform optimally, biochemically.
Sauerkraut or cabbage juice are some of the strongest stimulants for your body to produce acid. This is a good thing as many people have low stomach acid which is the cause of their gut problems. Having a few teaspoons of cabbage juice before eating, or better yet, fermented cabbage juice from sauerkraut, will do wonders to improve your digestion, as it can be made with high levels of Himalayan salt and the bacteria in the sauerkraut will help to heal your gut.
Take a hydrochloric acid supplement - Another option is to take a betaine hydrochloride supplement [made from beets], which is available in health food stores without prescription. You'll want to take as many as you need to get the slightest burning sensation and then decrease by one capsule. This will help your body to better digest your food, and will also help kill the Helicobacter and normalize your symptoms.
Modify your diet – Eating large amounts of processed foods and sugar/fructose is a surefire way to exacerbate acid reflux, as it will upset the bacterial balance in your stomach and intestine. Instead, you'll want to eat a lot of vegetables, and high quality biodynamic organic and preferably locally grownfoods.
Optimize your vitamin D levels - As I've mentioned many times in the past, vitamin D is essential, and it's essential for this condition as well because there's likely an infectious component causing the problem. Once your vitamin D levels are optimized, you're also going to optimize your production of 200 antimicrobial peptides that will help your body eradicate any infections that shouldn't be there.
You'll want to make sure your vitamin D level is about 60 ng/ml. As I've discussed in many previous articles, you can increase your vitamin D levels through appropriate amounts of sun exposure, or through the use of a safe tanning bed. If neither of those is available, you can take an oral vitamin D3 supplement.
Implement an exercise routine – Exercise is yet another way to improve your body's immune system, which is imperative to fight off all kinds of infections.
