How to choose a safe adn healthy suppliment?

Today, when you walk down the pharmacy and supermarket, you can find one-hundreds and one health supplement product on shelf. But which of them are effective and most important safe.

There are mainly 3 types of health supplement:

1. Synthetic - man-made vitamin, extracted from Lab.
2. Natural - Not fully organic, there is still some unnatural process involve in production
3. Organic

Out of these 3 types, don't waste your money on the synthetic vitamin. Your body can only absorb 30%-60% of the vitamin value.

If you have to choose one, go for the Organic Type. It might be slightly expensive but they are definitely a wiser and healthier choice.

There are few important things that you msut consider when choosing a suppliment:

• The product is froma satisfied organic farm (recognize by WHO)
• The way they growth the plant is in right ways and using high quality technologies
• The brand is well-known for at least more then 10 years
• The process of making suppliment is in quality control (quality control by the same company fromt eh seeds till the end packaging)
• The ingredient are safe to consume, especially those multi-vitamins or combined ingredients suppliments

WATCHOUT, for the fake and lier brand...!!!

Many brand claim that they have lots of professor and researcher to do research on their products and safe to consume by everyone. PLEASE do your your common sense, if there are really that much of people researching a pill, will you think they can afford to pay them? Plus, will the suppliment cost become cheaper then those branded?

Moreover, there are many people just want to push their slaes so they will simply asking you to take this and that for health but ends up you will beocme more worst or death (as we can see in newspapers).

And many company claim that they pattented their product, but do not forget, they only pattented only one particular item, and not all their products are safe to consume ot have copyright. Plus, it is not easy to pattent their products.

Many companies do not used high quality technology to process their products and sub-out to other company to process it, but yet they claims that their products are using high quality technology adn have quality controls.

So, be smart to choose and choose wise. DO NOT choose soemhting that is CHEAP so I buy it. Do nto forget, this suppliment is go into your body, not apply on the surface of your skin where if you feel not nice, you can wash it. BEWARE!

How to lose weight without suffering?

Many people want to lose weight but yet want the easy way. Therefore many people start to take diet replacement meal, carbohydrate blocker pills and etc...

But asked yourself, does it really works?

If you asked me, the answer is YES but the moment you stop taking, you weigth increase rapidly.

To lose weight without suffering there are 3 important nutrients that we need to convert to energy:

1. Carbohydrates
2. Fats
3. Protein

Carbohydrates take about 2 hours to digest fully, and the balance that haven't digest, will convert to fats and store under the skin.

Fats on the other hand takes about 3-4 hours to digest fully. Therefore compare to carbohydrates, your energy level will last longer.

Protein is among all the bestsource of energy as it will take 6 hours and mroe to digest fully. that is why if you eat meat, you will not easily feel hungry.

Tips:

• Cut down carbohydrates intake (flour, rice, noodles, mee and etc...). Replace it with fruits and vegetables.
• Take high protein but low fat food (protein from beans is the best)
• Stop Snacking.
• Eat lesser per meal but increase the number of meals to keep the metabolism high at all times.

"Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, "And if that damned ice cream truck hadn't come along, he'd still be alive today!"

Girls Night Out

Girls night out

Two women friends had gone out for a Girls Night Out, and had been decidedly over-enthusiastic on the cocktails. Incredibly drunk and walking home they suddenly realized they both needed to pee. They were very near a graveyard and one of them suggested they do their business behind a headstone or something. The first woman had nothing to wipe with so she took off her panties, used them and threw them away. Her friend however was wearing an expensive underwear set and didn't want to ruin hers, but was lucky enough to salvage a large ribbon from a wreath that was on a grave and proceeded to wipe herself with it. After finishing, they made their way home.The next day the first woman's husband phones the other husband and said, "These damn girls nights out have got to stop. My wife came home last night without her panties." "That's nothing," said the other. "Mine came back with a sympathy card stuck between the cheeks of her butt that said, 'From all of us at the Fire Station, Well never forget you!'

After a few hours later, mother feels horny now. She calls her son to ask his father whether father still wants to use Washing-Machine or not because it had been fixed. Few minutes later, the son comes back with answer…” Daddy say fixed already also no used because Daddy already wash with HAND”…

Hope you understand…!!!

The Important of Breakfast 3

Everyone knows that breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. To "break a fast" means to end a long period when someone hasn't taken in any food, such as when they have slept all night. Starting the day without breakfast is like driving a car without stopping to fill up the gas tank. Children who eat breakfast tend to have longer attention spans and to do better in school. In addition, they are less likely to be overweight and less likely to have behavior problems. Unfortunately, many children do not eat breakfast.

It is very important that every child (and adult for that matter) eats breakfast every day. Often-reported reasons for skipping breakfast include not having enough time, not liking traditional breakfast foods, and not feeling like eating early in the morning. Fortunately, you can make time for breakfast, eat nontraditional breakfast foods and eat breakfast later in the morning.

Make Time For Breakfast

Although mornings can be busy times, there are things you can do to help make everything run more smoothly, so there is enough time for breakfast.

Do some of your morning chores the night before, such as selecting clothes to wear, signing permission slips and putting homework in backpacks.

Set the table with breakfast dishes and nonperishable food items, such as dry cereal, bread and bagels.

If adults in the home drink coffee, get the coffee pot ready to run the night before and then just hit the "on" switch in the morning.

Make sure all family members are assigned chores to do in the morning. Do not turn on the television set.

In addition, breakfast does not need much preparation time. There are lots of fast, easy foods that can provide a healthy start to the day. For ideas, see the list of breakfast suggestions below or leave your comment here and I will reply you on "ways to prepare suitalbe and health Breakfast wiht only 15 minutes".

Try A Variety Of Foods For Breakfast

Although cereals, pancakes and waffles are felt to be traditional breakfast foods, in fact, any food can be eaten for breakfast, including last night's dinner. Breakfast simply refers to the morning meal after the nighttime fast, and not to specific foods. As part of a well-balanced diet, breakfast should provide a significant portion of the day’s nutrients. Using the food pyramid as a guide to healthy eating, a nutritious breakfast typically includes foods from three or four of the five food groups:

One serving of fruit: fresh whole fruit (bananas, apples, oranges, strawberries, grapes), fruit salad, sliced fruit (added to cereal, yogurt, oatmeal), canned fruit, fruit juice

One or two servings of grains: whole-grain breads, dry cereal, oatmeal, English muffins, bagels, muffins, pancakes, waffles, flour tortillas, rice, potatoes

One serving from the dairy group: reduced-fat or nonfat milk, yogurt, cheese

One serving from the meat group: eggs, lean meat, peanut butter, beans, tofu

Eat Later In The Morning

Some children say they are not hungry in the morning because their stomachs seem to wake up more slowly than the rest of their bodies. Getting up 10 minutes earlier may give their appetites time to wake up; in some cases, breakfast can be served later. Send breakfast foods that travel well in the car or on the school bus. Purchase breakfast at school, if available.

Some children simply are not hungry for traditional breakfast foods. In this case, try offering a variety of nontraditional foods for breakfast, including leftovers from dinner.

Breakfast Suggestions

• Whole-grain cereal with fruit and reduced-fat milk
• Whole-wheat toast, eggs, and juice or reduced-fat milk
• Fried egg and reduced-fat cheese on whole-wheat toast
• Oatmeal with raisins and reduced-fat milk
• Waffles, turkey bacon and juice
• Low-fat yogurt with fruit and granola
• Bagel with cheese or peanut butter
• Fruit smoothie: fruit and milk or yogurt mixed together in a blender

• Whole-wheat toast, hard-boiled egg and fruit
• Turkey sandwich and reduced-fat milk
• Leftover pizza and juice
• Breakfast burrito: scrambled eggs, cheese and veggies wrapped in a flour tortilla
• Peanut butter and jelly sandwich and reduced-fat milk
• Grilled cheese sandwich and juice

Breakfast Reduces Diabetes & Heart Disease

Proper Morning Meal May Reduce Obesity, Other Health Risks By 50%

Mom was right in saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Researchers report that breakfast-eaters are far less likely to be obese or have diabetes or heart disease.

A daily breakfast may reduce the risk of becoming obese or developing signs that can lead to diabetes -- called insulin resistance syndrome -- by 35% to 50% compared with skipping the morning meal, say researchers. The study has tracked for 10 years the dietary habits of more than 2,900 Americans between ages 18 and 30 who live in four U.S. cities.

Insulin resistance syndrome is a metabolic disorder in which the body doesn't use blood sugar (glucose), efficiently, significantly boosting the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. This syndrome is characterized by a combination of several factors, including obesity, high amounts of abdominal fat, high blood pressure, and elevated blood sugar or insulin levels. It can elevate triglycerides and reduce levels of "good" HDL cholesterol.

"The take-home message of this particular finding suggests that if you're trying to control or lose weight and lower risk factors of heart disease, not eating breakfast is not a good option," says researcher Linda Van Horn, PhD, MPH, RN, of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. "Unlike what most people may think, in trying to lose weight by cutting out foods, calories, and meals ... people who have breakfast in the morning do better. At the end of the day, they wind up eating fewer calories, and less saturated fat and cholesterol and have better overall nutritional status than people who skip that meal."

Although this finding -- presented at the American Heart Association's annual conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention -- only looked at the importance of breakfast itself, these researchers have previously investigated the best type of morning meal to protect against these health risks.

Their recommendation: A bowl of whole-grain cereal. In a previous study, Van Horn compared whole grain cereal to other breakfast foods -- including refined "kid" cereals, breads, and other carbohydrates typically consumed for breakfast. "Whole-grain cereals were the predominant food that had a positive association, whereas other foods did not," she says.

The researchers found that overall, nearly half of whites surveyed and only one in four blacks reported eating a daily breakfast. "We have started looking at what people are eating when they eat breakfast, which led to our finding that eating whole-grain cereal each day was associated with a 15% reduction in risk for the insulin resistance syndrome," lead researcher Mark A. Pereira, PhD, of Children's Hospital in Boston, says in a prepared statement.

In past research, published in 1999, Van Horn and her colleagues found that the fiber in whole-grain cereals may protect against obesity and heart disease by improving blood sugar and cholesterol levels. And last April, they also found that dairy foods may improve insulin resistance. Insulin resistance occurs when the body begins to lose its ability to respond the hormone insulin, which is needed to convert blood sugar to energy.

"These whole-grain cereals provide a good quality source of dietary fiber that is difficult to get in other meals of the day because the concentration of fiber in whole-grain cereal is so much higher than you'd find in bread or other foods," Van Horn tells WebMD. "Perhaps the only other food that rivals it would be beans. So unless you're having minestrone at lunch, perhaps the only other way to get as much fiber as you can is in a bowl of whole-grain cereal."

Whole-grain cereals are particularly good sources of soluble fiber -- the type associated with reduced risk of heart disease. That's because soluble fiber forms a gel-like material that prevents cholesterol and saturated fats from entering the bloodstream, where they can collect and form plaques on artery walls. The insoluble fiber in these cereals, meanwhile, helps keep bowel movement regular and may help reduce risk of colon problems.

These "heart-healthy" cereals list whole grain or bran as their first ingredient and contain at least 2 grams of dietary fiber per serving. Among the most fibrous choices are bran cereal and oatmeal, which contain at least 7 grams per serving -- about one-quarter of the recommended daily intake. Van Horn says that whole-grain cereals, which are typically fortified, also contain hefty amounts of vitamins C, E and various B vitamins, as well as folic acid and various phytochemicals -- nutrients that have been implicated with reducing heart disease risk and other health problems.

The Important of BREAKFAST 2

Breakfast is 'most important meal'

Eating breakfast is the secret to staying healthy, according to evidence unearthed by doctors in the US.

They believe skipping the first meal of the day increases the chances of becoming obese, developing diabetes or even having a heart attack. Their study found that people who eat whole-grain cereals every morning are among those most likely to see the health benefits. Dr Mark Pereira and colleagues at Harvard Medical School analysed the eating habits of 1,198 black people and 1,633 white participants. Overall, 47% of whites and 22% of blacks said they ate breakfast every morning.

They found that people who ate breakfast every day were a third less likely to be obese compared to those who skipped the meal. In addition, they were half as likely to have blood-sugar problems, which increase the risk of developing diabetes or having high cholesterol, which is a known risk factor for heart disease. The researchers believe that eating first thing in the morning may help to stabilise blood sugar levels, which regulate appetite and energy. They suggest people who eat breakfast are less likely to be hungry during the rest of the day and are, therefore, less likely to overeat. "Our results suggest that breakfast may really be the most important meal of the day," said Dr Periera. "It appears that breakfast may play an important role in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease." The researchers have recently started to examine what those involved in the study ate for breakfast, to see if certain foods were more likely to help them stay healthy. Initial results have suggested that whole-grain cereals may be of benefit. They found that people who ate these were 15% less likely to have blood sugar problems but Dr Pereira said: "We need to do more research."

Growing evidence

The British Dietetic Association said the findings added to the growing body of evidence in support of eating breakfast every morning.

"There is a lot of scientific evidence behind this," spokeswoman Catherine Collins told BBC News Online.

"Obviously the traditional fry-up is too fat and calorie rich to aid weight control, but cereals and toast are of benefit.

"Breakfast can be a very good source of vitamins. Many processed cereals are fortified with vitamins and minerals which people can find it difficult to get elsewhere if they are just having two meals a day."

The study was presented at the American Heart Association's annual conference in Miami.
