Cooking: Five Tips

By Owen Jones

There can not be a lot of individuals who do not enjoy their food, but the human race, being what it is, I expect that there are a a small number of them. Nonetheless, for the rest of us, food is a font of every day delight and, like a beverage, it is often employed to commemorate a celebration. not only that, but different foods are used for the different meals or distinct events. Festive meals were unquestionably considered around the seasonal foodstuffs available, but some foods were ferried great distances for the consumption of those who could pay for them. For instance, my father thought it a grand treat to get an orange in his stocking on Christmas Day 60 years in the past. How the times have altered! Very few kids would deem an orange a present, special or otherwise, any day of the year these days.

Nonetheless, the preservation of food is still a daily affair and therefore, I have written a few good guidelines on preserving foodstuff below, so that you will obtain the best from that which you have bought or grown in your garden even a long while later.

Chicken Stuffed With Spoons: a great way of preparing chicken to be eaten at a cold buffet or in sandwiches, is to put as many spoons as possible into the cavity of the chicken (not silver or plated ones though). Then, place the chicken in a large saucepan or pot and bring the water to the boil slowly. Simmer for 10 minutes, cover and leave until the water is room temperature. The spoons will retain the heat and cook the chicken from the inside out. it will be one of the most succulent chickens you have ever eaten.

Roasted Crisp And Light: if you like crisp-skinned roasties, it is best to parboil them first, but that is only half the story. so, boil the potatoes for five minutes and drain thoroughly. Put the lid on the pan and shake it about violently. Bang it hard on the chopping block several times. The harder the better. Then put the parboiled potatoes in the baking tray with the meat or fowl to cook as you would normally.

Salad Soup: Do not throw away salad that has been soaked in salad dressing. Whisk it up in a food processor with a can of tomatoes of tinned soup. Add lots of garlic to taste and adjust the thickness to suit your taste. Chill it down and you will have one of the most delicious summer soups ever.

Curdling Cure: if your mayonnaise has curdled there is one sure fire way to bring it back to life. stir in a couple of tablespoons of Hellmann's mayonnaise and your problem will be over.

Simply Scrumptious Topping: a really, quick, delicious and almost infinitely variable topping for a savory pie can be made in seconds. Choose the flavour you want from the crisp rack; puncture the bag to let our the air and then crush the contents in the gag. it really adds something to a pie. The same trick can be used on the bottom of a potato pie a Texan housewife told me. - 17274

Is it Day 19 Already?

By Amelia Handley

It's day 19 on my HCG Diet. I've lost another pound. It's like an amazing game that I'm winning. Every day I follow the rules and then I lose more weight. It's just lovely. It's exactly how a weight loss program is supposed to work!

This morning I got on the scale a bit later than I normally do. I figure it's alright though because I hadn't eaten anything yet. My daughter was sick in the night so it threw me off my morning schedule.

Anyway...I lost a pound. That puts me at 154 pounds. That means that I've lost a total of 17 pounds on the homeopathic HCG diet so far. I'm loving these results. The promoted average weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds per day (men, of course, claim the higher averages). And I'm really right there with the average. I find that SO exciting!

I noticed that there are HCG Diet Direct reviews floating about online and I have to say that I'm absolutely going to get on there and leave a one of my own. HCG Diet Direct reviews should be all over the place and they should all be fabulous. I've tried a lot of dieting options and this one is by far the most effective and the most seemingly long lasting one I've ever experienced.

For lunch I had leftover steak with grapefruit and Melba Toasts. I'm pretty good at reaching for healthy foods. It's a big change for me.

At dinner I had Buffalo Chicken salad (it's a recipe found in the HCG Diet Direct cookbook). I also had Melba Toasts and an apple. That's another thing...HCG Diet Direct reviews should definitely point out the cookbook. It's amazing! - 17274

Best Lower Ab Workout - Lower Abdominal Exercises

By Marquis Walls

It is practically everyone's dream to get that sexy, flat-as-a-plank abdomen, yet it can often appear one of the hardest parts of the body to lose pounds in.

The abs are a special set of muscles, comprising of the upper, lower and oblique muscles, which work in synchronization with one another to help flexibility and movement between the upper part of the body and the lower part below the hips.

Double Leg Lifts : Lie down on your back, with your hands placed under your butt, with the palms facing the floor. Then, contracting your lower abdominal muscles, and tightening the muscles of your legs, lift them straight up vertically, and hold them there for a few seconds. Then lower them down until they are definitely a few inches off the floor, and hold it there again for 1 or 2 seconds. Repeat 5-8 times to start with. Later, as you're feeling your abs getting stronger, increase the reps to 15-20 times. Then, as you get even stronger, you can lift your head and shoulders off the floor while performing the leg lifts.

Swapping Leg Walks : Begin by lying on your back, placing your hands under your butt, and take a few deep breaths. Then, contract the lower ab muscles and lift your right leg up slowly, until it is 90 degrees to your body. The, equally slowly, lower it back down, till it's a few inches off the floor, while concurrently raising your left leg. Keep lifting your legs otherwise about 8-10 times to start with. Later, as your abs become stronger, you can increase the count to 15-20 times. And, as in the prior one, lift your head and shoulders off the floor while performing the exercise.

Double Leg Reverse Crunches : Lie down on your back, with your hands under your butt. Lift both your legs up until they're in a vertical position. Now bend your legs at the knees, so that the lower part is parallel to the floor. Then, contracting your lower abs, and keeping up your bent knees, gradually lower your legs until the soles of your feet are just a couple of inches off the floor. Keep your abs contracted and hold this position for a few seconds. Then increasing the contraction in your abs, lift your knees up again, bringing them towards your chest.

This is a somewhat challenging exercise, so start by doing just 3-5 reps. Later, as you feel yourself getting stronger, increase the reps steadily, until you can do 15-20 reps. - 17274

Get Rid Of Hemorrhoids, Get Rid Of Discomfort

By Rand Fortescue

Hemorrhoids are the swelling in anal tissue; they can either be internal or external. But when you have them it really doesn't matter. What will be most important to you is how to stop the pain and to get rid of hemorrhoids as quickly as possible. There are many ideas out there that will work. There are a few things you can try that will help get rid of those hemorrhoids quickly.

One of the best ways to go about helping to get rid of hemorrhoids is adding in some fiber to your diet. Many people don't eat enough fiber in their daily diets. But when you are suffering from hemorrhoids it is a good idea to eat more of it and to drink plenty of water. Add in fiber rich foods to your daily diet or use a supplement. Those supplements can be bought in a pill or a drink mix. Some taste pretty good too, so that is no longer an issue for most people.

Many creams are available just for hemorrhoids; however, most of these help with the pain and itching but don't really work to get rid of hemorrhoids. Not that it's not great to have those problems relieved, but you can also try a cream that has witch hazel in it. This herb is a great help in taking the swelling down from hemorrhoids. Plus it can help you with the itching and bleeding and promote healing.

Along with witch hazel, there are other herbs that can help with the problem of hemorrhoids. Try some horse chestnut tea to combat the swelling associated with hemorrhoids. You can also find this in the form of a pill if you don't think the tea will be that tasty. Horse chestnut is also available as a cream that can be applied to the affected area.

One herb that will work well to get rid of hemorrhoids is butcher's broom. This herb helps to end the swelling of hemorrhoids and will assist in them ending quicker. Like horse chestnut, butcher's broom is available as a tea or in a pill form. Remember that these are two different herbs; you cannot purchase them as one product. It is also not a good idea to combine different products to use at the same time.

Soaking in tub filled with warm water can help soothe the pain and tenderness of swollen hemorrhoids. Avoid using very hot water to avoid aggravating the painful hemorrhoids. You can also use a sitz bath. For added relief, try adding several drops of essential oil such as chamomile or lavender to the water.

There's is no need to continue suffering from the pain and itching. Herbal remedies can help reduce the pain of hemorrhoids and even get rid of hemorrhoids. Most natural health food stores and many vitamin stores sell these herbs. You can also check online and possibly find better prices. A visit to your doctor may be necessary to explore other options if you're a chronic sufferer, but herbal remedies and a fiber-rich diet are good first steps to eliminating hemorrhoids. - 17274

Chiropractic Nutritional Products For Your Well Being

By Julio Riess

Dr. Chris Cormier is a holistic chiropractor who has made a personal crusade out of nutritional care. A Chiropractic Nutritional Products developer, Dr. Cormier came to the conclusion that vitamin supplements were not an effective way to take in the nutritional elements our bodies need. Once he had been a believer and recommended them to his own clients, but years of experience taught him differently.

The chiropractic doctor explains his theory with his "Wellness Triangle." The 3 corners of the Wellness Triangle consist of the following:

Genetics - We are all products of our DNA. There is nothing we can do about that, in his opinion.

Physique - This is our body and everything to do with our body, including the things we can change, such as our posture or exercise routines and the things we cannot change, like accidents of fate or destiny. We have fifty percent control over our physique

Diet - As long as we have the ability to access them, we have 100% control over the foods we eat. We can choose whether or not we wish to eat nutritional food or packaged and processed foods.

Dr. Cormier focuses on what we can do to improve our health, namely, improve our diet. He believes that diet should be our number one concern because what we take into our bodies determines how healthy or unhealthy we will become. He lists some very impressive statistics to bolster his theory. He cites the incredible fact that while the US spends far more on health care than any other country, our life expectancy ranks a dismal 42nd place!

Aside from our appalling diet, which includes far too much junk food and far too little fruits and vegetables, Dr. Cormier points to our high stress levels, lack of sleep and prescription drugs as other contributing factors.

Dr. Cormier's is not a doomsday message. He offers many Chiropractic Nutritional Products that in his opinion can help us enjoy longer, healthier lives. - 17274

Looking For The Best Diet Plan

By Cristina Cook

Actually there is not "best diet plan" that will guarantee you successful weight loss, and reason to that is ridiculously simple - we are too different. We are built differently and our bodies work differently so different methods will work differently for each of us. Traditional weight loss methods still work for most of us though.

Most important is to find the right things to include into your diet plan.

Internet is a great place to search for various advices and methods but be prepared for huge amount of information. Simply type "weight loss" in your favourite search engine and you will get plenty of tips advising you take a diet pill or to stick to a certain diet.

I don't say that these tips or products are wrong; actually most of them can be good for weight loss somehow. Also they can give you some idea of what alternatives are available to traditional weight loss strategies.

The best thing to do overall is to break down each area of weight loss into segments like diet, exercise and diet supplements and determine actions for each of them bringing larger benefit in total.

Highly respected newspaper called Telegraph had an article 'Top 5 ways to lose weight for 2008' focusing on list of actions of successful weight loss and weight loss plan. Let's look at it.

Generally, they discussed these 5 points in the article:

- start your metabolism with eating breakfast every day;

- eat 6 smaller meals a day instead of few large;

- set a realistic exercise plan to remain motivated and to continue exercising;

- remain motivated by surrounding yourself with support network;

- find and take diet supplement that works for you.

This example of 5 main points showed how strong diet plan should look like. Each segment of weight loss should be explored and covered by appropriate action.

Best diet plan is what works for you and if each of weight loss areas is effective and will help you lose weight then all together they will ensure that you will succeed.

Finding a good weight loss supplement may be the hardest part but internet should help you again. Don't go for the first one you can find but look around and you will see that there are some pretty good products available. - 17274
