Top 10 Healthy Food

kevin — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 10:59:54 +0000

Healthy eating and physical fitness go together, but there are no magic foods that cause you to be one hundred percent healthy by just eating the one food. No, you need a variety of foods from each of these food groups each day. It’s also important to watch the portion size so as not to overeat. Make your mealtimes pleasant and relaxed occasions and your healthy foods will work effectively with your healthy emotions to give you a healthy body.

1. Berries
You may like all types of berries or just one or two favorites, but you can never go wrong by adding a few fresh berries as a quick energy snack or frozen berries made into a luscious smoothie in place of calorie laden desserts. Berries are high in vitamin C across the board, but some are high in other nutrients as well. Choose ripe blueberries for vitamin C and heaps of anti-oxidants for the health of your circulatory system. Gogi berries are less well-known but are wonderfully rich in many of the nutrients your body needs to be nutritionally and physically fit.

2.Citrus
The foods of the citrus family are widely recognized as a valuable source of vitamin C. Choose fully ripe citrus fruits for the best nutritional value and choose citrus as near to the tree as possible. Tree ripened fruits picked at the peak of perfection and consumed with hours of picking give you the top nutritional rating. Try grapefruit for breakfast. Add a dash of fresh squeezed lime to your salad as a dressing and enjoy slices of orange with coconut in a light honey dressing for dessert.

3.Vegetables
The variety of vegetables is amazing. For people who are vegetarian or vegan, choosing vegetables to be part of a nutritionally sound diet is a way of life. Your vegetable group provides many of the minerals required in a good diet. For example, you may realize that potassium is necessary for healthy nutrition. Many people claim the benefits of potassium found in a single banana. But did you know, you can also get adequate potassium in your diet by eating a stalk of broccoli? Try a salad of fresh young spinach topped with pine nuts and stirred with lightly cooked penne’. Feta cheese and a light vinaigrette dressing to create the perfect light luncheon meal.

4. Whole Grains
Like many other of the best foods, choosing only one type of whole grain for your meals doesn’t provide all the variety you need to be nutritionally sound. Often, mixing two or more whole grains together will give you complete proteins. For example, brown rice and wheat kernels with a spicy seasoning are a popular dish in many countries.

5. Salmon
Salmon is lean fish and nutritionally one of the best fish choices. It is rich in Omega-3 oils that are noted as helping improve the functioning of the brain. Salmon baked whole with just lemon or lime as a seasoning makes a fantastic main dish or a hearty luncheon featured menu item. Salmon is also commonly found in chilled seafood dishes.

6. Legumes
A legume is the name for a variety of fruits with a single dry seed. Legumes are sometimes called pods. Examples of edible legumes are soybeans, peas, dried beans and peanuts, among others. Legumes are rich in iron and high in fiber, making them excellent nutritional choices. Peanuts are a type of legume that have been used to make hundreds of different products some edible and others with various types of helpful uses.

7.Nuts and seeds
Nature has packed a lot of goodness into small packages. Most everyone has heard of walnuts and pecans which are very good nutritional products, but did you realize that flax seeds are brain food–containing critical non-meat sources of the Omega-3 oil.

8.Lean proteins
The keyword here is lean. Americans eat far too much protein compared to the rest of the world. Cut down of portion sizes–three ounces will provide all the needed protein needed for your day. Also, trim all visible fat from your protein source. Alternatively, use non meat substitutes such as the complete proteins found in vegetable dishes like beans and brown rice.

9.Tea
Depending on the type of tea you prefer, you can get an energy boost from a cup of green tea, or the calming effect of chamomile tea. Get going with mint teas or start your day with Earl Grey Breakfast Tea. Herbal teas are soothing, tasty and good for you. Non herbal teas will help you to stay alert when you need help to function.

10.Olive oil
Olive oil is probably the healthiest substance you can use to keep fat in your diet. You can use it on your salad, mix it with a little vinegar to create your own, or fry other foods in the hot oil. Just make sure that the temperature is not too hot so that the oil is broken down.

Love Martinelli’s Apple Juice? You may want to switch to unfiltered apple juice like the kind offered by Odwalla.

A group of researchers in Poland found that cloudy apple juice is richer in antioxidants — up to four times higher — than clear apple juice.

Even actresses brown-bag it. Jennifer Lopez, the most influential Hispanic entertainer in America, brings meals to the recording studio, while completing her fifth English studio album.

Her enchilada recipe: Combine 4 oz cooked shredded chicken breast, 1/4 light sour cream, 2 tbsp shredded lowfat Chipotle cheese, 1/4 cup pico de gallo, and 1/8 cup enchilada sauce in a bowl. Place the mixture on a whole-wheat tortilla. Roll up and put in a microwave-safe portable dish.

Pour 1/8 cup enchilada sauce on top and sprinkle with a bit more cheese to your liking. At lunchtime, microwave on high for 3 minutes.

One of J.Lo’s enchiladas has 10 grams of fiber and a mere 200 calories.

The Art of Shaving for Women

kevin — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 12:14:13 +0000

Kelly never stops raving about how great his Art of Shaving products are, but I never really listen since they only cater to men… or so I thought! The Art of Shaving for Women is a unique concept guided by the expertise and hands-on attention of the founders.

Passionately devoted to the very best in skin care, the Art of Shaving has created a luxurious line of shaving products that promises optimal shaving results for legs, bikini area and under arms. They call it The Perfect Shave™, made of botanical ingredients and essential oils, includes both pre and post shave products, plus accessories.

I’m going to have to give it a try and see if they really are as good as Terry says.

Step-by-step guide to The Perfect Shave

1. Prepare

Shave while showering or bathing.
Always use hot water while shaving. Hot water softens the hair, opens pores and relaxes the skin.
Before shaving, apply The Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil to protect the skin and soften the hair, especially in delicate areas such as the bikini, under arms, at the ankles and behind the knees or legs.

2. Lather Up!

Allow a few moments for the hot water to soften the hair, then lather up with shaving brush or fingers.
Use The Art of Shaving’s coconut oil based Shaving Cream for a rich, luxurious lather that provides a close, comfortable shave.
For best results, use our custom contoured Shaving Brush made of badger hair. It helps generate a warm, protective lather, softens and lifts the hair and exfoliates dead skin cells.

3. Shave

Always use a sharp, clean blade and a properly balanced handle. Avoid applying too much pressure on your razor, this is often the cause of razor burn and skin irritations. Glide the razor gently over your skin and rinse your blade after every few strokes. Pull the skin straight and taut with one hand, while you shave with the other.

FOR LEGS:

Shave against the direction the hair grows. Place the razor at the base of your ankle and pull gently up the entire length of the leg, in one smooth stroke. To avoid nicks & cuts that often occur behind the ankle, flex your heel to stretch the skin while you shave.

FOR BIKINI AREA & UNDER ARMS:

The skin in these areas is softer and more pliable, and the hair is coarser, making it prone to razor burn and ingrown hairs. Take precaution by first shaving gently with the direction of hair growth, then re-lather and shave lightly against the direction of the growth.

4. Moisturize

The Art of Shaving After-Shave Body Milk soothes and protects the skin, and replenishes lost moisture after shaving or at any time. Apply all over the body, legs and delicate areas. Leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized throughout day with a delicate aroma.
INGROWN HAIRS can be prevented by using The Perfect Shave products and techniques. If they do occur, moisturize the affected area after shaving and again at bedtime with The Art of Shaving Ingrown Hair Night Cream
