Healthy living tips: if you want to slim, eat less meat

In studies conducted in Europe on more than 400,000 adults found a strong correlation between weight gain with the consumption of meat, especially processed meats such as ham or sausage.

In general, the effect of increased weight loss due to meat consumption was seen in men and women. The participants in this study came from 10 countries involved in long-term studies on diet and cancer. Their weight recorded before and after the end of the study. They were also asked to fill out a list of daily meal intake.

Once counted, the people who consume excess calories up to 250 grams of meat per day, equivalent to the small size of the steak, will experience a weight gain of about 2 kg within a period of five years. Although consumption same amount of calories, if the consumption of meat is excessive weight gain will still be higher.

The results of this study also refute dit opinions about high protein and low in carbohydrates can reduce weight. Nevertheless, experts warn that cutting meat alone is not enough to lose weight. Weight loss must be balanced with exercise and lifestyle changes. To maintain health, are encouraged to eat a varied diet and nutrient sources, including meat.

In Mevagissey, Cornwall last month browsing in Hurley Books, I came across a copy of Maps and Diagrams: Their Compilation and Construction by F.J. Monkhouse, et al. (1967). At three pounds - a historical bargain. Prompted by the charts above I will scan the cover and share some of the text/ideas here in the near future.

I was saddened to see that in Padstow The Strand Bookshop has closed - apparently in January 2009. As a listed building who knows perhaps it might smell of books once again!

Benefit of Melinjo Seed Increase Body Endurance

As mentioned melinjo, most people probably know him as a raw material chips with his trademark sense of bitterness. There are people who abstain because of fear of melinjo uric acid. But, you know, beans rich in antioxidants and can melinjo increase endurance?

Researchers from the University of Jember, Tri Agus Siswoyo, considered that the antioxidant activity of seeds is equivalent to vitamin C. melinjo This antioxidant activity obtained from the high protein concentrations, 90-10 percent, within each seed melinjo.

The main protein is very effective in eliminating free radicals causes various diseases such as hypertension, high cholesterol, a narrowing of blood vessels, and premature aging.

Great potential that is contained in a seed or Gnetum gnemon melinjo made sure melinjo Tri is a suitable source of functional protein used as a food supplement nutrasetikal (nutritious food for health), including to prevent and treat disease. Moreover melinjo seeds are easy to obtain.

Cheap Supplements
Recognized until recently had no formal studies on the use of seed proteins as sources of antioxidants melinjo. In fact, if the use of antioxidant peptides from hydrolysis gnemon Gnetum seed was successful, will be available nutrasetikal supplements can be cheap and safe alternative.

Unlike in the country, Japan has already looked at the potential of antioxidant from the seeds of this Gnetaceae family. Tri research results on isolation and characterization of antioxidant peptide from the seeds of this melinjo making it one recipient of research funds from the Indonesia Toray Science Foundation, a foundation established textile company and Japan's largest synthetic fiber.

Similar ginkgo
Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) revealed, melinjo including the evolution of an ancient plant near the existing plant ginkgo biloba in Japan. These same reasons make the Japanese people are interested to develop it.

Ginkgo is the oldest tree species that has grown over 150-200 million years and is trusted as a brain tonic for strengthening the memory. Ginkgo leaves also have strong antioxidant properties and plays an important role in the oxidation of free radicals cause premature aging and senile dementia.

However, not merely an ancient plant that makes the Tri interested in researching the plant that grows in Southeast Asia, but melinjo resistance to disease, good bacteria, fungi, and pests. For two years studying melinjo, Tri has examines the interaction between starch and lipids in seeds melinjo, protein stability to heat and melinjo phenolic content, as well as the source of flavonoid antioxidants.

Natural antimicrobials
Until now, biochemistry doctorate from Osaka Prefecture University, Japan, that have isolated two types of proteins that show high antioxidant activity. From all parts of the plant melinjo diekstraknya ever, ranging from leaves, bark, roots, until the beans, Tri find the most potential of seed proteins. Research shows this is equivalent to the antioxidant activity of synthetic antioxidant BHT (Butylated Hydroxytolune).

Of the two protein fractions that, found another function melinjo as a natural antimicrobial. That means melinjo protein can also be used as a natural food preservative as well as new drugs for diseases caused by bacteria. Gg-AMP peptides isolated from the seeds of a potential active melinjo indicated inhibit some types of positive and gram negative bacteria.

Healthy snacks
To obtain its benefits, can be eaten directly melinjo by boiling and used as a snack, or as a mixture of vegetables. It was also recognized activist medicinal plants, Pudji Rahayu, from Bekasi. He often utilizes melinjo seeds as ingredients to add endurance.

"The trick is to boil it, like a boiled peanut or vegetable mixture made with tamarind leaves. People are not many people know that if melinjo have antioxidant functions, which are generally known to a new high purinnya content and can cause uric acid," he explained.

Simply boiled or disayur
No complicated actually utilize melinjo seeds. Simply boil it, such as boiling beans, or make mixed vegetable or vegetable acids ve. Because that is used is the seeds, how to eat them is also quite easy. Can be eaten immediately (used as snack or dessert) after the skin peeled.

Choosing melinjo actually no specific benchmarks. All types can basically be used. If you do not want to get seeds that are still very soft, with young melinjo can choose a green skin. Conversely, old melinjo aeneous, seeded a little strong.

If you have a high purine content or at risk of uric acid (gout), should not consume too much melinjo. The recommended dose of normal consumption quite a handful of beans boiled in a day melinjo. Remember, before boiling, melinjo seeds should be washed until completely clean.

Imitate of the Japanese eating habits

Soyjoy Healthylicious Winners, Yuliana Tan and Sri Primadika Agustina, recently on vacation to Japan as the main prize of the competition healthy lifestyle products. What message he brought from State Sakura implement discipline known that a healthy lifestyle? Yuliana Tan (31) shared his experience to the Compass Female when meeting in Jakarta on Monday (7/26/2010).

Slender body of a woman or a man possessed of Japan, according to observations Yuliana, was not only obtained from the habit of running feet. Their diet each day plus a character known Japanese food freshness and tend to be laden raw, like sushi, is also very crucial. Of course, healthy lifestyles is still balanced with exercise.

"For five days in Japan, we rarely eat fast food. Every hour meal came, portions and menus are complete, from appetizers, main meals, until the closing. Carbohydrates are presented even before dessert, when the stomach had begun to fill. Not like a habit meal in Indonesia, where rice is presented since the beginning of eating, "said Juliana, his experiences during a visit to Japan on June 29 to July 4, 2010.

Yuli said, every meal, portions are small and run out in just a one-time gusto. For example, foods such as opening a few pieces of fish cooked with vegetables. Then the main meals such as steak or choice of rice and noodles, and cover in the form of fruit or ice cream. Patterns and good portion of this menu for the body because, when hungry, the stomach was not immediately filled with heavy food. Intestine is left to digest the food slowly in small portions, gradually until a little heavy.

"From this way, we learn to eat slowly, and blood sugar went up slowly does not directly change drastically. Carbohydrate was presented when the stomach already full, so that consumption is not too much," said the woman who claimed to have problems with this weight.

Before the competition who wants to inspire healthy living, Yuli had set eating patterns in order to reduce weight. Understandably, then, the sales manager for one of these private television station was preparing a wedding. However, he sought his own way was not able to provide solutions. Until finally Yuli get enlightenment from a series of activities Soyjoy competition for three months.

From his experiences while in Japan, Yuli admitted, fresh food to other factors that influence the change in him. Fish is fresh and cooked just as would be eaten, or raw foods that turned out not as imagined before, making Yuli appetite changed.

"At first I did not like raw food because they think it smells fishy. However, the Japanese way of cooking in a fresh raw food but still good to eat. Of the 10 fresh food (raw), only three that I can not eat," said Yuli.

Despite getting different experiences and lifestyles in Japan (especially about diet), Yuli admitted difficult to implement it in Jakarta. How to cook and access to fresh food in Jakarta is rather difficult. In Japan, Yuli said, the snacks are cheaper, the same diet. Food always begins with small portions and gradually so safe for blood sugar and digestion.

Japanese-style way of eating healthy is deemed appropriate Yuli nutrition classes Soyjoy obtained in the competition. For two hours, while still running the competition, the finalists get knowledge about nutrition that is usually given in one semester. Yuli recorded important message is to select and sort out the types of foods contain lots of fiber with the priorities, manage a varied diet and eating patterns and eating only fresh foods that are not processed in time.

"Food is undergoing a long process reduces the nutritional content and will only accumulate fat when fried in a long time," said Yuli, who claims his weight began to fall from 68 pounds (before the competition) to 63 kilograms today. Target market, want to lose another five pounds. It was here, it may be achieved by Yuli habit that began to change plus the awareness to better maintain their habits.

Disciplined Healthy Diet Tricks

Information about healthy diet certainly is easily accessible from various media, but do you often find it difficult to run consistently? Healthy lifestyles needs to be, one of them by finding the right mentor.

Winners Soyjoy Healthylicious, Yuliana Tan, reveals that a proper understanding of the experts and health record medical check-up results so motivated him. That is, show a greater awareness to change unhealthy eating habits.

"Maintaining a healthy diet needs to be, especially after getting an understanding from the experts. That way we can know the condition of the body and how to change the habits with the right technique," said Yuli told Compass Female in Jakarta, Monday (26/07/2010) then .

However, each person must be motivated from a variety of information that he gets. Most people also realize the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. However, how many are failing because they do not have proper guidance and technique?

Consultation with experts and do the "medical check up". Consultation with nutritional experts can become familiar with the early solution of healthy eating. Next, conduct a comprehensive medical examination is also very important. You can recognize the condition of the body and find a solution to the problem differently in each person, departing from the medical records.

"From the experience of the competition, I recommend a medical check-up to the parents. Because in this way, we can know the proper way to prevent disease, although the condition of every person is different and the handling is also not the same," said Yuli, who admitted to more understanding of his body after the medical check-up.

Results of medical examinations showed blood erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the high body fat so that potential. With this guide, Yuli more disciplined regulate his diet. Meanwhile, another understanding of what he got from the competition is a healthy lifestyle nutrition classes delivered nutrition expert. Yuli information obtained fairly complete, ranging knowledge about the types of food, select and sort the food, to the anatomy of organs.

Should keep and continually learn the material you get about nutrition, as did Yuli. Getting about understanding proper diet of experts will provide different experiences that make you more motivated.

"Explanation of the experts are better able to provide more awareness and motivate yourself," Yuli said.

Gratuitous Diets Make Bones Fragile

Has a slender body and pleasing to the eye is the dream of every woman. To make it happen, they often have no doubt undergo a series of diets to achieve an ideal body shape.

One way is to stop consuming dairy products and fad diets do, a type popular in the Western diet that promises quick weight loss. In fact, diet carelessly it can cause women at risk of osteoporosis or bone loss.

The experts had recently delivered a warning dangers of inappropriate diet. Research shows that nearly a third of British women in their ambition to streamline the body to stop eating some foods that contain calcium.

The warning was issued after a week after actress Gwyneth Paltrow revealed that she was suffering from osteopenia, or thinning of the bones that could be the forerunner of osteoporosis. 37 years old actress underwent a strict diet low that cheese, butter, milk and other foods rich in calcium which is useful for strengthening bones.

A poll in the UK on the eating habits of 4500 women found that 30 percent claimed to avoid all these health foods for lean body dreams.

As many as 28 percent of dieters said they stopped eating cheese. While 11 percent said cross out all dairy products from the menu. More than 41 percent no longer eat bread, but this has been fortified bread is good for bone calcium.

Approximately 26 percent of respondents said they saw only the fat and calorie content on food labels as well as ignoring other information about the nutritional value. In fact, this mistake could have an impact on the failure to build strong bone structure at the age of 35, which leads to an increased risk of osteoporosis later in life.

Faktaannya, this diet was poorly followed by three million people in the UK. Where found more than 230 000 cases of bone fractures each year with the most fragile bone condition found on the wrist, back and hips.

The Food Standards Agency has recommended requirement of calcium per day for adults to reach 700 mg, which can be obtained from various types of foods or diets through erimbang.

Calcium than there is in bread and dairy products can also be found in broccoli, cabbage, tofu, and nuts. Meanwhile, to increase mineral intake, you can eat sardines or fish eaten with bones.

"Recent research highlights that the ideal body appearance should be accompanied by a healthy bone. Where calcium and fats vital role in building strong bone structure. While diet performed poorly can damage your bones," said a spokesman from the National Osteoporosis Society.

"There are a lot of pressure to be slim, but it could be compromised if you stay lean, but your bones healthy. If you want to stay slim, but your bones stay strong try a low-fat dairy products rich in calcium. For example, skim milk has calcium higher than full cream milk, "he said.

Drupal musings 10: Archive & FAQ

There are now three archive pages more or less complete. I'm using HTML 5 and CCS3 (well trying) to mark and style the pages, with the addition of the new semantic tags:

article, aside, figure, footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, section {display:block;}

(I'm not sure if these disappeared at one point in the editor, so everything is a work in progress.)

Next up - the FAQs. As a live document this will be styled differently. As yet I am not quite sure how, but I still need to sort the way to handle quotes. The method I found includes blockquote: hover: after in the style sheet, then combines blockquote, cite and p on the page. The problem is you can't copy and paste, something that visitors may wish to do. A related issue is how to display when the page was updated and accessed - an essential piece of page furniture. A search reveals many other examples and now is the time to experiment.

I also have to remember that I still don't know what the final theme and look for the site will be. So global settings, columns and such like need to be kept in-check for the moment. There may be Drupal modules to add page access / updated details, so time to check on this and accessibility. And all with just ten days more to work - then Drupalcon! :-)

The questions and answers are being be completely revised; so if you have any you would like to see please get in touch: h2cmng at yahoo.co.uk
