Tips for meat eater


EWG meat eater guide.
Kari Hamershlag, EWG Senior Analyst, reports most Americans, especially kids, consume much more meat than vegetables. The report says, young children eat more than three times the recommended amount of protein, mostly from meat.

From 1971 to 2010, worldwide production of meat tripled to around 600 billion pounds while global population grew by just 81 percent (US Census Bureau, International Data Base). At this rate, production will double by 2050 to approximately 1.2 trillion pounds of meat per year.

Producing all this meat and dairy requires large amounts of pesticides, chemical fertilizer, fuel, feed and water – takes a toll on our health, the environment, climate and animal welfare. generates greenhouse gases and large amounts of toxic manure and wastewater that pollute groundwater, rivers, streams and, ultimately, the ocean.

Eating large quantities of beef and processed meats increases your exposure to toxins and is linked to higher rates of health problems, including heart disease, cancer and obesity.

Environmental Working Group has came out with their Meat Eater's Guide. Great information and tips for greener diet and reduce climate and environment impacts.

Here's the helpfull tips for meat eaters:
  • Eat less meat and dairy. Eat less meat and chease on Monday and make meat a side dish, not a main course on the othe 2 days.
  • Eat greanner meat. Check the labeling and look for grass fed or pasture-raised meat,
    no antibiotics or hormones, certified organic, certified humane, unprocessed and nitrite-free and low-sodium.
  • Eat more vegetable.
  • Eat lower fat dairy product.

Bike riding to shape up

Bike riding is great way to shape up by burning up to 500 calories per hour. It’s also an efficient way to burn excess calories, shed body fat and improve cardiovascular health. The motion of bicycling, especially uphill and high intensity cycling, is a great way to develop muscle and burn fat.

Bicycling also works to strengthen the core region of the body, the abdominal and back muscles. The beauty of developing more muscle is that it not only makes the body look leaner and stronger, but it raises the resting metabolic rate.

Choosing the right bicycle is not so easy. It actually get more complicated each year as the bicycle's technology keep improving. The first thing you have to determine is the type of bicycle that is right for your needs.

In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:
  • Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels, and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
  • Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing, and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
  • Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.
A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.
  • Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
  • Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
  • High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultralightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.
Titan Fusion dual suspension all-terrain bicycle are one from many model found with good suspension system design. This all-terrain bike was constructed with a combination of durability and mobility in mind. The dual-fork suspension grips the street and the trail with confidence.

The Obesity Master Gene


Photo by: Thermogenic Fat Burning Cofee

LONDON - Scientists have found that a gene linked to diabetes and cholesterol is a "master switch" that controls other genes found in fat in the body, and say it should help in the search for treatments for obesity-related diseases.

In a study published in the journal Nature Genetics, the British researchers said that since fat plays an important role in peoples' susceptibility to metabolic diseases like obesity, heart disease and diabetes, the regulating gene could be target for drugs to treat such illnesses.

"This is the first major study that shows how small changes in one master regulator gene can cause a cascade of other metabolic effects in other genes," said Tim Spector of King's College London, who led the study.

More than half a billion people, or one in 10 adults worldwide, are obese and the numbers have doubled since the 1980s as the obesity epidemic has spilled over from wealthy into poorer nations.

In the United States, obesity-related diseases already account for nearly 10 percent of medical spending -- an estimated $147 billion a year.

Type 2 diabetes, which is often linked to poor diet and lack of exercise, is also reaching epidemic levels worldwide as rates of obesity rise.

Scientists have already identified a gene called KLF14 as being linked to type 2 diabetes and cholesterol levels, but until now they did know what role it played.

Spector's team analyzed more than 20,000 genes in fat samples taken from under the skin of 800 British female twin volunteers. They found a link between the KLF14 gene and the levels of many other distant genes found in fat tissue, showing that KLF14 acts as a master switch to control these genes.

They then confirmed their findings in 600 fat samples from a separate group of people from Iceland.

In a report of their study, the researchers explained that other genes found to be controlled by KLF14 are linked to a range of metabolic traits, including body mass index, obesity, cholesterol, insulin and glucose levels.

"KLF14 seems to act as a master switch controlling processes that connect changes in the behavior of subcutaneous fat to disturbances in muscle and liver that contribute to diabetes and other conditions," said Mark McCarthy from Britain's Oxford University, who also worked on the study.

"We are working hard...to understand these processes and how we can use this information to improve treatment of these conditions."

Aromatherapy:Be Happy, Healthy and Wealthy


Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile plant materials, known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a person's mind, mood, cognitive function or health.

Some essential oils such as tea tree have demonstrated anti-microbial effects. Evidence exists that essential oils may have therapeutic potential. Aromatherapy may have origins in antiquity with the use of infused aromatic oils, made by macerating dried plant material in fatty oil, heating and then filtering.
 
The concept of aromatherapy was first mooted by a small number of European scientists and doctors, in about  1907. In 1910, Maurice Gattefossé, a chemist  burned a hand very badly in a laboratory explosion. The hand developed gas gangrene, which he successfully, and intentionally, treated with lavender oil.
 
Another successor are the French surgeon, Jean Valnet, pioneered the medicinal uses of essential oils, which he used as antiseptics in the treatment of wounded soldiers during World War II.
 
Lavenda: The essential oil been used in the whole of aromatherapy. Has a reputation for slowing down wrinkles, brings deep relaxation, calming, soothing to the intestines and improves digestion.

Balances mood swing and uplift moods. Mostly used for relaxing  muscles and lessens aches and pains. Vapours can open the sinus and breathing passages and hence soothes chesty spasmodic coughs.

Basil, French Oil: It is known mainly for its effect on the nervous system. Is a good stimulant and tonic and is helpful in coping with unwanted emotions, such as fear, jealousy and negative thoughts.

It can treat a variety of respiratory ailments: restoring a lost sense of smell, avert attacks of asthma and relieve sinus congestion.

It has stomach-soothing properties and relieves stomach cramps and vomiting. Dispels gas and prevents constipations. Stimulate appetite and aids digestion.
It clears the head (headaches and head colds), gives the mind strength (sharpens the senses) and clarity (clarifies thoughts) and relieves intellectual fatigue (increases concentration).

It can revive someone who has fainted.


Jasmine: Some people call it as romantic oil because of it's anti depressant and ahrodisiac property. This oil brings you in mood for love and also enhances your libido. Jasmine been use in during the first night in some Indian Subcontinent. It also helps cure problems such as premature ejaculation, frigidity, impotency etc.

Relief to those women who suffer from irregular, obstructed and painful menses or an untimely menopause. Increases milk secretions from breasts and is thus very good for lactating mothers and the feeding babies.

Also good for uterine health as it tones it up and promotes flow of certain hormones which ensure good health and proper functioning of uterus. It also helps protect it from tumors, particularly after menopause, by restricting flow of estrogen.

Calms down body, mind and soul and brings forth your positive and constructive emotions. It gives relief from anxiety, stress, annoyance, anger and depression as well as from inflammations.

Other Benefits: It is good for skin and keeps it smooth and free from cracks. It can be used to free people from narcotic and other addictions. It also cures muscle pain.

BUT, make it sure to avoid using this oil if you're pregnant since it is an Emenagogue. It is highly relaxing and sedating and thus heavy doses should be avoided.

Lime: May helps fight and protect against viral infections which may cause common cold, mumps, measles, pox and other such diseases.

Serves as an appetizer or aperitif. It activates secretion of digestive juices into the stomach even before you start eating and increases your hunger.


Aromatherapy works in two distinct ways either through the sense of smell or through the skin. Essential oils are highly concentrated and a little goes a long way. Essential oils should be stored in a cool, dark place, in dark amber or cobalt blue bottles.

Essential oils shall be applied trought bath, diffuser, massage, as a perfume, or body/room spray.

Embarassing Fishie Odour Vagina



Why some women just smell fishier? Is it normal for woman to have vaginal bad odor? Yes, the fact is all women have it, but how bad it was are differ to each other. The vaginal bad odour is caused by bacterial vaginosis. Some of the bacteria multiply so that more are present than is normal.

Bacterial vaginosis is not an infection caught from your partner, it is due to bacteria that are normally present in the vagina. It's happens when the natural bacteria that lives in the vagina starts to over grow.It’s completely natural and not something to stress about but, in some serious cases a vaginal discharge that can be milky white, yellow or even a gray color.

Other symptoms can also include itchiness, burning upon urination as well as the areas in or around the vagina may also be sore to the touch. You should see your gynecologist, who can test for it and, if you come up positive, prescribe an antibiotic that should clear it up.

One final note: While BV isn’t a sexually transmitted disease (STD), vaginal odor can sometimes be a sign of one, so your gynecologist may want to rule out that, too. Bacterial vaginosis is treated with an antibiotic, metronidazole, from your doctor.

A vegetarian friend says, some certain  fruits and vegetables may gives come affect on vaginal fluid. For example pineapple and celery give your vaginal fluids a milder taste. While meat, fish, and dairy products, on the other hand, make them taste stronger. So do garlic, spices, and caffeine. Drinking a lot of water may  help you flush out any possible offenders.

If you’re prone to BV or yeast infections, it's a good advice to wear all-cotton of undergarment for better air flow. This will keep moisture to a minimum which good in controlling bacterial breed.
