The Benefits of Green Tea – 5 Things You Must Know

February 3rd, 2011 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

I am shocked when I see all the advertisements promoting green tea as a weight loss product. Of the many reported benefits, this is one of the least supported by the evidence. Some studies have suggested that green tea might speed up your metabolism slightly but it is unlikely you will notice the difference.

Some of the advertisements even admit this so their solution is to drink numerous cups per day supplemented with mega doses of extract in pill or capsule form. The problem is that this approach can cause stress and insomnia. In addition, the tannins in the tea at these concentrated levels can actually cause cancer of the stomach and esophagus. It will also reduce the absorption of some minerals such as iron, a problem with women or anyone with anemia, and the essential B vitamin, folic acid.

Keeping in mind the potential risks of over consumption, I am going to suggest some more accepted benefits that come with drinking green tea in moderation or using smaller doses of extract.

1] Cancer prevention

Green tea’s four constituent polyphenals are collectively referred to as catechins. Of all the different teas, green tea contains more catechins by weight [about 30%] and about half of that is epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG. This is a powerful anti-oxidant that inhibits the start of cancer cell growth and slows down any growth that is already there.

2] Lower cholesterol levels

3] Better heart health

Independent studies from Japan, the Boston area and Holland found that tea drinkers of only one to four cups per day had a 44% to 50% lower risk of a heart attack than those who drank almost anything else. It has also been effective in lowering LDL ["bad"] cholesterol levels.

The latter is important because the formation of abnormal blood clots or thrombosos is the leading cause of heart attacks. EGCG is given a lot of credit here because it seems to keep the platelets in your blood from excessive aggregation.

Fewer blood clots lead to less chance of a heart attack.

4] Lower blood pressure

5] Reduced risk of stroke

This blood thinning quality also leads to lower blood pressure. In a related benefit the catechins in green tea along with its vitamin C content strengthen and help relax blood vessel walls. A study of six thousand female Japanese tea drinkers found that they had a 50% decrease of the risk of a stroke.

This is significant in that the World Health Organization estimates that 30% of total deaths world wide are caused by heart and blood vessel problems. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of both women and men.

It is important to note that there are powerful antioxidants that are not present in green tea in significant amounts. Some these are L-Glutathione, Lutein, Bilberry, L-Camosine and grape extract among others. Green tea in moderation is the best way to get its benefits without the side effects of large portions. A better way to achieve this is with a balanced multivitamin supplement that contains green tea extract in combination with other nutrients and antioxidants.

Why is Deep Sea Diving Ideal in Spending your Holiday?

February 3rd, 2011 Posted in Sea Food | No Comments »

In the world, we’ve got many exciting things to try. Unique and delightful things to do when on vacation depend on people’s different incomes and interests.  Although there are many different options, most of them still take the same forms of vacations.  Wouldn’t it be fascinating to go for deep sea diving?

Toggle things up a bit. Think and do something fresh instead of planning the same tedious vacation where you go to a beachfront hotel and set on the beach the whole week.  Certainly, you will probably have a lot of amusement on the beach.  But how about chartering your own private boat and book for a deep sea diving holiday instead?

Consult with your travel agent.  Detail what you want to do and how you want to do it.  You deserve to get a good deal on a vacation package with consideration to the location.  Different regions of the world are on different time schedules.  Off season for one part of the world is peak time for another part.  This information could be pinned down to you by your travel agent.

Deep sea diving vacation packages can be reserved with everything such as your air fare, charter, room, dining and diving included.  All you have to do is pay for it all at one time.  Think of it! The only things you have to do are just to lay back and unwind on your chartered boat.  Dive at your own pace.

If a private chartered boat for you is much too expensive, invite a few friends to contribute for the expenses. Splitting a leisurely vacation aboard in a private boat with close friends filled with plenty of food, drinks and sunshine is a good idea. Good food, good drinks and good friends! It will surely be a pleasurable time for everyone!

What is so great about this option is that you still get things your way.  This vacation is suitable even for people that do not like to scuba dive, snorkel or swim. Your friends could be still onboard the boat doing other things while you are in the water diving and exploring the beautiful view. Everyone gets what they want and is enjoying.

Around the world, there are so many different diving spots to choose.  You can get as busy or as slow of a tempo. Your travel agent can coordinate with you.  If you want to go for the best luxury dive boat and crew available, plan in advance with enough funds. Be able to manage well your holiday.

Yes, there are plenty of vacations that you can arrange.  You might want to go again to Grand Canyon for the 5th time.  Or visit Niagara Falls again for the 4th time.  Or maybe go for another exciting cruise.  Yes, these vacations are cool, but do something a little bit on the wild side this time.

A deep sea diving trip package suits the bill perfectly.  It’s a change that is greatly necessary to shake things up a bit. Aim for somewhat new and have a ball.

The Organic Food Brand Name

February 3rd, 2011 Posted in Organic Food | No Comments »

Many organic food brands are not exactly what they claim to be. Some unscrupulous farmers label their agricultural products as organic just be able to sell them at premium prices even if they do not really practice sound organic farming practices. Failure on the part of the farmer to practice sound organic farming practices may lead to contamination of the food products thus these food products can no longer be called organic.

To make sure that you are eating real organic food, you should always look for the USDA organic seal next to the organic food brand name. Note that only those organic food brands that pass the stringent requirements of the USDA are allowed to use the USDA seal on their labels.

What Does the USDA Organic Seal Tell Us?

According to the rules and regulations issued by the United States Agriculture Department, before an organic food brand can be classified as 100 percent organic, it must pass through trick standards of inspection. All the ingredients used by a certain organic food brand must be certified as organic before that organic food brand is allowed to use the words 100% organic.

On the other hand, before an organic food brand can use the organic to describe its products, the ingredients used in the food products must be 95% certified as organic. This means that if the food producers want to add non organic ingredients such as minerals and vitamins into their food products, they must make sure that such minerals and vitamins do not exceed 5% of the total composition of the food products.

In the event where the organic food products fall below the 95% mark, these products can no longer be referred to as organic. At most, it can only be referred to as made with organic ingredients.

Why is It that Organic Food Brands with the USDA Seal are More Expensive?

Organic food brands that bear the seal of the USDA take longer to produce. Note that without growth hormones and without any chemical additives that promote growth, most agricultural products take a lot of time to grow.

Moreover, farms that are certified as organic cannot use chemical pesticides, herbicides and antibiotics to protect their crops and livestock thus it is often doubly difficult to product agricultural products in these farms compared to those conventional farms. To help these organic farms stay in business, the USDA allow them to sell the products at premium prices.

Effects of alcohol in beer, wine and liquor intakes

February 3rd, 2011 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Effects of alcohol in beer, wine and liquor intakes

Higher alcoholics occur naturally in alcoholic beverages as by-products of alcohols Fermentation.  Recently, concerns have been raised about the levels of higher alcohols in surrogate alcoholic ( illicit  or home-produced alcohol  beverages) that might lead to an increased incidence of liver diseases in regions where there is a high consumption of such beverages.  In contrast, higher alcoholics are generally regarded as important flavor compounds. European legislation even demands minimum contents in certain spirits. 

Consumers’ perceptions about alcohol are shaped by numerous factors. This environment includes advertisements, public service announcements, product labels, various health claims, and warnings about the dangers of alcohol consumption. 

 However, moderate intake of alcohol beverages has beneficial effects on bones, but the effects of different classes of alcohol beverages have not been examined.  The association between intake of total alcohol or individual alcohol beverages and bone mineral were studied in 1182 men, 1289 postmenopausal women, and 248 premenopausal women in the Framingham Offspring cohort (age 29-86 yr).  After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the alcohol intakes and BMD (bone mineral density) at 3 hip sites and the lumbar spine were evaluated.  The men were mainly beer drinkers and women wine drinkers.  Compared with non-drinkers, hip BMD was 3.4-4.5% greater in men consuming 1-2 drinks/day of total alcohol  or beer, whereas hip and spine BMD was 5.0-8.3% greater in postmenopausal women consuming >2 drinks/day of total alcohol or wine.  Intake of >2 drinks/day of liquor in men was associated with 3.0-5.2% lower hip and spine BMD vs. intake of 1-2 drinks/day of liquor in men.  After adjustment for silicon intake, all inter-group differences for beer were no longer significant; differences for other alc. sources remained significant.  The statistical power was low for premenopausal women and the associations were not significant.  Thus, moderate consumption of alcohol was beneficial for bones in men and postmenopausal women.  In men, high liquor intakes (>2 drinks/day) were associated with lower BMD.  The tendency toward stronger associations between BMD and beer or wine, relative to liquor, suggests that constituents other than ethanol may contribute to bone health.  Silicon appears to mediate the association of beer, but not that of wine or liquor, with BMD.   

The wine, liquor, drinks or beverages included several different brands from various sources such as : apple juice, acai juice ,black cherry juice , blueberry juice , cranberry juice  concord grape juice , black tea green tea white tea, malt, barely, potatoes, rice , other serials and any sugary and carbohydrate  varieties of fruits and plants thereof.

The orange juice industry produces, at the end of the residue extraction, a by-product called orange press liquor.  Considering its high content of soluble solids and the large volume of the liquor produced in Brazilian orange juice plants.

The Chinese date’s beverage is composed of fermented Chinese date vinegar 10-40, honey 5-10, Glycyrrhiza root extract  4-8, aspartame 0.05-0.3, and water 50-70 wt. part.  The fermented Chinese date vinegar contains sol. salt-free solid 7-15, total acid 1-5, vitamin C 0.01-0.09, amino acid 0.5-1.5, and water 80-92 %.  The Glycyrrhiza root extract can greatly improved pharynx dryness caused by fruit vinegar beverage.   

A medicinal liquor is claimed to be manufactured. from the traditional Chinese medicine which including Penis et Testis Cervi 5-10, Lycium barbarum fruit 2-10, Schisandra chinensis fruit 10-20, Panax ginseng 5-10, processed Radix Glycyrrhizae 10-20, Dioscorea opposita 5-10, Osmanthus fragrans 5-10, and Ipomoea batatas 20-30.  The manufacturing method comprises soaking raw materials in baijiu (Chinese liquor) for 15-25 days, sealing, storing for 6-8 months, precipitating, separating, filtering, mixing, adding honey, precipitating for 7 days, filtering, and bottling.  It is claimed to have a health promoting effect.   

The tomato juice wine comprises the steps of: removing impurities from tomatoes, washing the tomatoes, squeezing to obtain tomato juice, adding honey and sucrose, soaking, inoculating Saccharomyces cerevisiae, fermenting at 30-40°C for 10-15 days, filtering, and sterilizing.  The wine contains abundant vitamins and minerals, and has good health-care functions

However, all in all the exuberant consumption of alcohol from whatever source or beverage can invariably lead to serious diseases and ailments such as increased incidence of liver diseases, diabetes, glaucoma  gastric dysfunction and others.

Order Food Online with a Flourish!

February 3rd, 2011 Posted in Japanese Food | No Comments »

One of the prime reasons why the UK foodie portal Food Kingdom has become so popular is because it respects the dignity and sensibility of the user. Think about it. When you order food online from any routine food website, all you get is a fixed menu card from where you have to make your choice and then you have to place your order for them by paying the price upfront or on delivery. You might think that this is the right way to do, but then why should you have to restrict yourself within just the menu that they have given? Why can’t online à la carte menus be expanded to actually include what you really want to see there?

 

Food Kingdom understood this big drawback in the online restaurant industry and then came up with a brilliant plan which honours your respect in full measure. They have launched Dishpedia, which is already being heralded as one of the most interesting things to happen to the world of online food ordering.

 

Dishpedia could be considered as a complete encyclopaedia of food recipes. There are various cuisines here, including African, American, Argentinian, Bangladeshi, Brazilian, British, Cambodian, Caribbean, Chinese, English, French, Greek, Indian, Iranian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin American, Lebanese, Malaysian, Mauritian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Moroccan, Nepalese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese. You just pick the country you want to taste the food from and then select from among the dozens of dishes that are featured in each category.

 

Or, you might just simply download the recipe of the food and then prepare it at home if you are so gastronomically inclined. It is your choice! Now, how is that for respecting your sensibility rather than shoving down your throat what a restaurant wants to serve you?

 

It doesn’t end at that. For most of these recipes, you can easily find a restaurant in your local area that makes this exact dish and then you can order it to be home delivered. Food Kingdom has tied up with some of the biggest restaurants in the East London and South London area, within the postcodes E1 and E8 for East London and SE1, SE8, SE13, SE16 and SE17 for Southeast London. These restaurants are constantly checking Dishpedia and duplicating dishes that are featured there, which you can place your orders for.

 

Some of these restaurants include big names such as Curry Express, Moja Indian Takeaway, Royal Bengal Indian Takeaway, Mango Tree Indian Takeaway, Home Chinese Restaurant, Noodle and Rice Chinese Takeaway, Royal Palace Chinese Restaurant, Thailand Restaurant, Poppy Hana Japanese Restaurant and so many others.

 

It is not just about these exotic cuisines either. On Dishpedia, you will find foods such as pizzas and kebabs and even such a lot of drinks. Even these are duplicated by wonderful restaurants in the East London and South London area such as Pizza Mania, Pizza Classico and Times Pizza.

 

However, the best part is here: Who creates all these recipes? These recipes are submitted by the users of Food Kingdom! Yes, it is people like you who submit their favourite food creations! And then those are lapped up by restaurants and so many people stand a chance to order those from popular restaurants. It is no wonder that many food enthusiasts in London are considering Food Kingdom to be their best shot at popularity.

Sail the Slender Seas in a Partnership

February 3rd, 2011 Posted in Sea Food | No Comments »

I’m not suggesting by this title you take a cruise. But if you and your mate have found yourselves drowning in a sea of soft comfortable habits, like over eating and under activity,  a sea cruise for two does seem like an appropriate reward for slimming down and firming up together.

Have you heard the old saying, “the quickest way to get where you want to go is to help somebody else get there”?

Most Recommended Tips for Sail the Slender Seas in a Partnership http://www.dietbuzzer.com/blog/category/protein-diets

 Well the proof is in the low-fat pudding.

A recent study conducted at Indiana University in Bloomington found 94 percent of spouses who exercised together stayed with it longer and were able to achieve goals compared with only 57 percent who tried it alone according to Better Homes & Gardens.

You see, dieting with your spouse and enjoying the right combinations of foods, for the good of your common goal, is equally rewarding and can be great fun. Couples who dive into dieting and healthy living together enjoy consistently more success and lead happier, longer lives!

When couples plan their weekly meals together, they’re able to choose the right combinations of foods in advance and they’re able to implement proper strategies when faced with awkward dining out or home entertaining situations. It’s win, win.

And it’s no secret that couples who play together stay together. It’s because supportive partnered-activities produce healthier bodies, healthier relationships and healthier sex lives.

When you give thought, it makes natural sense for couples to set common goals to improve themselves. And if you’ve wrestled weight loss and fitness on your own you might agree a tag-team is the way to go.

Dig in. Attack those love handles. Fight fatigue. You can do it if you plan and eat the right foods and keep active. And what ever you do, don’t procrastinate. Procrastination only makes a good plan bad. When you wait to do something it usually doesn’t happen.

 Better Homes and Gardens give us this from Martica Heaner, author of Cross-Training for Dummies, “The later you wait the more reasons you’ll have for not doing it.”

So high five your partner and get started!

And remember good people, every body loses weight differently. Peaks and valleys are to be expected. One of you may lose weight faster than the other -actually men do tend to lose weight quicker than women – so stay aware of these differences and support each other. Don’t criticize. Don’t lecture. Celebrate every milestone together and feel good about yourselves.

Raw Foods Diet to Live Naturally and Long

February 3rd, 2011 Posted in Japanese Food | No Comments »

Ever wonder as to why the average age of the Japanese people is 92 for males and 94 for females? For that matter the average age of the people in so many other Asian countries where most live above 80 years. It can simply be pointed to their diet which includes a lot of raw foods. Raw foods diet is a revolutionary albeit a very old concept of living a healthy, clean and simple life which is in harmony with nature. Raw foods are very rich in dietary nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Most people would have heard that the enzymes that are provided with raw food are usually flushed out along with all the vitamins and minerals when the food is cooked. However what most do not know is that when the cooked food is digested without these nutrients and the enzymes, the digestive process suffers and leads to disorders such as constipation, gastritis, and heartburns. Besides our bodies are just not designed to take in the kind of junk that is such a norm these days. The oxidants that are added as a result steadily destroy the body’s regenerative abilities and lead to severe diseases such as cancer and asthma. People who live on raw foods diet naturally have all these issues taken care of as the body gets what it requires. It is worth noting that people who live entirely on cooked food are the ones who face almost all the problems mentioned above apart from obesity and other chronic ones; while those who rely on raw foods diet are seen to experience almost no such issues while having existing health problems solved. Try some raw recipes and see the difference it creates in your life.
