Benefits of Quinoa on Health

 Everything in the world have its history behind, so do this nicely packed bag of Quinoa. It was the main food of the Incas more than 5000 years ago. They call it in no other way than "the mother of all grains" and "golden grain", which is not surprising, in fact, it was the basis of their diet along with potato and corn. Inca warriors ate quinoa with fat and believed that it would give them strength in the long battles.

  Emperor planted the first seeds of the season himself by using a golden tools. I guess that's a big deal if emperor himself make his hands dirty on the field. 

  

What is Quinoa?

 It is a unique powerful protein-rich mineral plant which grows in the harsh climate of high mountains in spite of dryness and high winds, and most important point is that it can withstand UV radiation of the sun with no harm.

It grows in energy-active zone of the Andes at an altitude of 500-4000 meters above sea level, which is pretty much unique I think:) 

  Only in the 60's of last century it was rediscovered in USA and Europe, where scientists have found very useful qualities of this grain. Let's look at them more close. 

100 grams of Quinoa contain:

Main:

 Benefits of Quinoa on health:

 1. This magical grain contain 12-18% of easily digestible protein, far more than in any other. Just for comparison, rice contain only 7,5%. This protein is able to replace the meat which make it attractive to vegetarians. Solid vegetable protein is also needed for athletes, pregnant woman (but need to be careful, don't overeat), children and those who are forced to cut back on the number of animal proteins in the diet because of diseases (arthritis, allergies, diets and so on).

2. Lysin - the most important amino acid which help of calcium absorption, tissue healing and immunity strengthening. Especially children need it for bone strength and good growth. 

3. Quinoa contain a lot of Magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorus which is necessary for creation of serotonin in the body. 

4. Contain a high quality fiber, both soluble and insoluble, which make it necessary for diabetes, people with heart disease and hypertension.

5. Quinoa clean the body from toxins and cholesterol, thereby purifying it and restore its healthy functioning.

6. Regular consumption of Quinoa will reduce the sugar level in the blood and help to get rid of migraines and severe headaches as well as its calming effect on nervous system.

7. Don't contain gluten (it could be found in wheat, barley and rye, used as thickener and binder) which is very good for people who have allergy on this product or could be used in gluten-free diet.

 Side effects: 

There is not so much of them. You should apply it into your diet slowly or ask your doctor before, because Quinoa contain Oxaletes. Their accumulation in the body can cause problems with the kidney, up to the formation of the stones. So, if you have kidney decease - be careful!

Benefits of Good Breakfast

  Today many experts note that more and more people begin to think about healthy lifestyle. After all life in a big city is not the same that life upstate or in the village. Away from skyscrapers air is clean, you get out to the nature more often and if you will just put aside a hectic city life with all its technology you will see the difference. Plus most of us got a "bad habits", stress and slip deprivation. 
 The one thing we can do about it at list is to eat healthy. You will note that after you start to input a healthy lifestyle into your life you will fill energize, wake up easier, will be more focus and fill good and many more other "side effects".
  Often people wonder how it is possible in the morning to fill refreshed and workable. The right breakfast is one of the key for that. Even though many people, especially dieting girls skip breakfast, believing that it will help them to lose weight... In fact, breakfast is the most important meal that starts the metabolism and gives the body source of energy for a new day.
 Lack of breakfast or wrong morning diet could cause various problems. The goal of the morning meal is to start all processes in the body, "wake it up" to prepare for the day of work. This is why sweet croissant, toast or hight - calorie chocolates are not good for breakfast. They contain empty carbs and no nutrients. 
 I used to be one of those "wrong dieting" girls. I thought if I skip breakfast I will lose some weight in the result. And here I am, "driving" my morning on 1 cup of coffee and tiny tinny toast... The only thing I can think about is food... Can't concentrate and my neighbors as well, my stomach produce loud hungry noises.. What happen as a result? Many people will agree with me... You eat like a horse in your lunch break.. guilty feelings after..promise to skip dinner... etc.. and tomorrow all over again=)) Here we are.. But we can easily avoid all of this by just eating right food in the morning, which will keep us "full" till lunch time. 
  Oatmeal was a great solution for me. So easy and fast to make, very cheap and consider one of worlds best product for breakfast. Here are some of its benefits:

  - Oats is excellent antioxidant. It's contain a lot of biotin which is very good good for skin. People from a big cities should consider to add oatmeal to their daily diet because it could remove from our body even the most difficult substance and metals. 
  
  - Oatmeal is recommended for those who want to keep their mental capacity and memory till the old age. 

  - Eating oatmeal it's a good way to prevent anemia, because of its high content of iron.

  - It's help to straighten bones and muscle growth.

  -  Oatmeal is the best way to normalize cholesterol level and get rid of vascular lesions. 

  - Oatmeal cover the stomach and don't let bad cholesterol go into blood stream. So, if after a small portion of oatmeal you will eat a heavy breakfast (which is not really a healthy choice, but we all do it sometime), like sausage, sandwiches with any quantity of oil - no harm will be done.  

  Besides oatmeal it is many other healthy breakfast choices..like: smoothies, egg whites with veggie, milk shakes, greek yogurt with granola, cereal. It's all the matter if you really care about your health, body, state of mind and weight. I can write a dozen of articles about a healthy choices, but it's you who make a decision...so think about it.

Old Chinese Proverb quotes

Pineapple

 The homeland of pineapple is Guadeloupe. Christopher Columbus first saw this fruit in 1493. But  pineapple that we have today (I mean sort) on the market have been brought to us from Brazil and spread to whole world from there as well. Commercial plantations of pineapple were established in Philippines, Hawaii, Florida, Southeast Asia and Cuba. It is one of the most popular fruit in the world. To fully understand how good is this fruit I'd like you to join me in its discovery.

 Trace Elements: iodine, potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, phosphorus and zinc.

 Bromelain: a biologically active substance that destroy the enzyme proteins. This element has anti-aging effect, maintaining the tone of the skin and holds it from age changes. His discovery added more popularity to this fruit, even though it located mainly in the "stalk". Based on it many dietary supplement, teas and other homeopathic remedies contain it now.

 Calorie: Pineapple contain from 45-53 calorie per 100 grams, this is why its widely use in diets.   

 2. Benefits of pineapple on health.

 Pineapple have a wide specter of positive effects on human health. However, this qualities could be apply only on fresh pineapple, it have nothing to do with canned one. 

  They are: 

• Stimulation of digestive system by increasing the enzymatic activity of gastric juice.
• Decrease blood pressure. 
• Dilution of the blood, prevention from blood clots.

The regular consumption of pineapple considered as prevention of decease of cardio-vascular system, such as, atherosclerosis, stroke, myocardial infarct.

It's could be a good addition to the arthritis, bronchitis and pneumonia treatment therapy. Very helpful for central nervous system and as one of the support after getting sunstroke. 

 Pineapple, due to high content of ascorbic acid, is indispensable in flue time, it will help to cope with its first symptoms and malaise.

3. Indication for use:

 In normal quantities, pineapple is very useful for most of the people. Cut pineapple or pineapple juice is recommended between meals, because it stimulate digestion process by increasing enzymatic activity of gastric juice. So, when you ate a roasted lamb leg and polish it with bowl of Borsch after, it's very advisable to drink a glass of pineapple juice or eat a piece of it...if you still have place for it=)   

 Nutritionists recommend to arrange a fasting days, once in a while, during which you can only eat one pineapple. It should be divided into four portion and eaten during the day with no more food. You should drink a lot of water as well! Those days not only helps to get rid of an extra pounds, but also to cleanse the body from toxins and strengthen the immune system.

 Pineapple is female saving fruit because it helps us to cope with painful menstruation. Include it in your daily menu just before the "critical days" and the discomfort will be reduced or may not exist at all.

4. Disadvantages:

 When you eat to much of fresh pineapple it may cause damage to mucous membranes of the mouth and stomach disorder. It's really irritates your tong and lips when you eat it too much. People who have high secretory activity of gastric juice, gastritis and pregnant women should exclude it from the diet.

 Pineapple juice, because of its high acidity can be harmful to the teeth. After use rinse your mouth with fresh water.  

 As everything in our life, pineapple also has its pros and cons, but positive qualities in a huge demanding. It's all the matter of right balance and smart use! Eat smart!

“Pick your own” farm.

   First of all I should tell you a little about my country, just to show the difference between farm’s system in my country and in the USA.  In Belarus we have just few farms with one owner. Most of farms belong to government and nobody really care about them. People can work for a farm during a harvest time and earn some money or products, such us vegetables, apples and berries. Nobody comes to the farm to spend time on the nature and take some outgrowth for money; we just don’t have this kind of farm. Sometimes I feel sorry because of this, the farms deprive themselves an opportunity to get some income and people can’t just come and enjoy the farm’s environment. 

    So, I never attend this type of farm before. We went there with friends, who never did it in US too. We arrived early morning and everywhere was silence and emptiness. Only animals was making faint sounds while we were there. They live on the farm behind a fence and everybody can feed and stroke them. For children farmers created straw’s labyrinths, where little explorers can play and hide, but there were playing in silent just a few attenders.

   Right before enter we bought tickets, two boxes for four people (more than enough) and grabbed one cart. We decided to walk instead of taking a ride with tractor and were all the way by ourselves while making our observation. The good things was that we were on the nature, far away from the people and any kind of civilization, but the bad thing was that we didn’t know what we can pick up and where we should go. The farm is not so big, but we spent 3 ours for walking, taking pictures, talking and picking various vegetables. Right before exit our booty was apples, cabbages, zucchinis and some beans. We could take more if we know what exactly we can pick. In the end we discovered that we could take whatever we want, nobody really checked. The price was a little higher than in regular store, but we hoped that the products were more organic and healthy too.

   After all we were happy to come back to civilization because after that time on the fresh air we were starving and tired. We are typical representatives of urban population, who can be poisoned by fresh air and can’t walk more than 3 hours.    

P.S. We understood that the end of October was too late for many vegetables, next time we should make it earlier. 

Green color

   We are very rarely think whats going on in the moment when we distinguish the colors. What does the color mean and which effect it has on us. 

  Green! That's the theme of our topic for today.
  Quality of green color is balance. It's located right in the middle of the color specter. If red and yellow - warm colors but blue and purple are cold, green could be both, depends on its tone.  

 While getting away from the gray and hectic cities to the nature most of the people experience a relief when they see a green valley and calmness of it. Green spectrum is perceived by our eyes better than others color varieties. By looking on it our eyes relax and our nervous system calm down. 

  The meaning of green color, above all, lies on its serenity and neutrality. It symbolizes nature, spring, life and youth.  This color is associate with life's possibilities, birth and hope. Symbol of fertility. 

   In general, the green at the same time soothing and toning. It stimulates mental activity. In this connection, the green is widely used in the design of offices and classrooms.

  This color is not recommended in the bedroom. Excess of green will not give relax to the brain and will provoke its work. But great for the studying places. You can add it by placing a table cover in green or paint the wall in front of studying area.

 Green slightly helps to increase (10-20%) mental capacity and  ability to concentrate. 

  

Add green in your life if:

- you need to adapt to changes and you afraid of unknown.

- you need a fresh ideas.

- you need to reach the balance.

- you feel that your plans interfere by something. 

  

   It's could be anything but green color. A flower, new blanket, curtains, wall paint or even walk in the park will make you feel better and confident in your thoughts. 

   For me the best "green therapy" is to go to the forest or park. When you leave the city behind and it's only you, trees, birds and fresh air - you feel so good! After this I really feel powered from this getaway and  realize that my problems is so small and sometimes they just in my head... Nature in its green color really help to straighten things up.. Take advantage of it, it works ;)
