Why American Brands Are Best In A Healthy Kitchen

By Nick Jaggs

What a bold statement, especially when you consider some areas of American manufacturing today. You only need to look at their automotive industry which now very rarely produces world class cars. Yet in the kitchen for those who follow a raw food lifestyle or who are keen on health and nutrition, American made kitchen equipment is now some of the best in the world.

Any raw foodists or health enthusiast will expect a great deal more from the gadgets that they have in their kitchen compared to the average household. In some cases they may use their juicer also as a kettle. Plus the blender they use will need to be able to cope with more demanding tasks and be used regularly.

As for a dehydrator or food dryer these will be used more than the oven that the person has in their kitchen to ensure that the nutrients found in foods are preserved so providing them with a wide array of nutritious foods to eat. If you are someone who is thinking about buying such equipment to improve one's health and change one's lifestyle there are certain things you need to be take into consideration to ensure that you select the right sorts of kitchen equipment.

Of course value for money is an important consideration especially over the long term. Typically one would expect to pay 2 or 4 times as much for an American made blender, juicer or dehydrator, but over the long term the returns you get from these machines when used in a healthy kitchen makes the most economical. Yes you want equipment that will last but you also want equipment that can tackle more demanding tasks and this is where the American made equipment outshines the normal kitchen appliances one can purchase.

Don't expect the juicer you have at home currently to be able to grind nuts into butter or to produce a sorbet from frozen fruit in an instant. But if you were to purchase the Californian Champion Juicer then it would have no problems getting these tasks completed for you. However, these machines don't come cheap, but when you take into consideration what it is capable of and that this machine is bomb-proof and likely to last a lifetime the price you pay is very reasonable indeed.

As for the blenders you can purchase locally you wouldn't expect these to grind dried chick peas into flour in less than 30 seconds or make vegetables and other fibrous raw greens into a smooth raw soup. If you did, then you are likely to find your blender won't be working within a week, unlike say the American VitaMix or Blendtec versions.

Raw fooders who fail to recognize the above fact in the beginning will end up wasting considerable amounts of money on some normal domestic blenders before they realize that the American ones we mention offer them in the long term better value for money. If you are after versatility and variety where food is concerned a food dehydrator that can create dried snacks and recipes is to be considered. There are many machines available but the Excalibur Dehydrator from California is not only far superior to many other models but it is much larger as well.

As for the Champion Juicer which in its brand logo declares it is the "The World's Finest Juicer" I would have to agree with this statement. The first Champion Juicer I brought has now been given to my son because I decided to replace it with a new black coloured model following the range of colours in the USA being made available in the UK. The juicer my son now has is almost 20 years old, but although it doesn't look as pristine when I first got it, it still works well.

There are other juicers available, but not many that you can say have been used regularly for more than 20 years and still work like they have just come out of the box. Plus this one hasn't been used solely for juicing, it has been regularly used to create healthy fruit ice cream by having frozen bananas and raspberries rammed through it with some considerable force. Over a period of more than 50 years there have been over a million of these juicers sold worldwide. But more would have been sold if like the today's brand managers the producers of this juicer had remembered to use "built in obsolescence" when marketing it. Today the Champion Juicer which comes in four different colours is available in the UK through UK Juicers Limited visit them at www.ukjuicers.com.

Although the Blendtec Total Blender is not readily available in the UK you may have already seen it when it appeared on the "Friday Night With Jonathan Ross" show. Here the machine was put to the ultimate test when Jonathan Ross placed a mobile phone in it and blended it with ease. Along with this demonstration of the food blenders power the manufacturer's website shows several videos where this American food blender actually designed for blending food is used to blend other things including a lava lamp and baseball. These videos may be overstating the power of this over engineered piece of kitchen equipment, but it provides you with the assurance that the money you spend on it will ensure that this piece of equipment won't be troubled by the kinds of tasks raw fooders will expect of this type of kitchen equipment, unlike the normal domestic blenders you can buy.

As for dehydrating this allows you to gently heat food to create some healthy items such as fruit leathers, energy bars, crackers and complete meals that you can take with you when out and about. These machines not only help to ensure that more of the nutrients within the food are preserved but storing them for a lot longer is a lot easier. Aficionados of dehydrators have learnt that the best ones to buy are those that dry the food using horizontal air flow (as a fan oven does). So one should avoid buying the stacking tray types of these machines because as the food is going through the drying process the trays need to be moved around to ensure that everything in them is dried evenly.

The Excalibur Dehydrator which is made in Sacramento, California for more than 30 years now is one of the most reliable on the market today. It comes from a part of the US where seasonal produce is readily available and where people still like to prepare and store foods in their homes for future use using traditional methods. To get hold of the Excalibur Dehydrator and other kinds of American health food machines mentioned they are being imported into the UK by health enthusiasts at UK Juicers.

You may find it a little hard to understand why I as a Brit should be recommending you as a health enthusiast look at purchasing these appliances rather than homemade ones. But for performance and one that will provide long term value you should only be considering these American brands as they will deliver on what you need from them. - 17269

Tea and Coffee

By Damian Papworth

Tea and coffee are two beverages with very rich histories. There?s a whole culture surrounding these beverages. You don?t just drink coffee or tea; usually, it?s a social event or an event invested with ritualized meaning. Here is a brief glimpse at the history of these two very significant beverages.

According to ancient legend, coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia, where it grew wild. Goat herders made the realization that their goats, after eating the coffee berries, couldn?t keep still and couldn?t sleep during the night. There?s another story about a dissident who was sent into the desert to die of starvation. The man, whose name was Omar, and his disciples happened upon the coffee plant and in despair, they ate it. It was the coffee plant that saved their lives. They made it to a nearby town called Mocha, where local residents saw it as a miracle.

According to researchers, coffee made its first appearance as a beverage in 1000 AD. Sufi monks, in Yemen, in the south of Arabia, supposedly made and drank coffee in their monasteries. Coffee was first brought to Yemen and Egypt through Ethiopia. The Arabians are the ones that get credit for making coffee, roasting it and brewing it, as we know it today. Coffee spread from the Middle East to the North of Africa by the middle of the fifteenth century. It made its way to Europe first through Italy; from there it went to Indonesia and soon enough it arrived in the Americas.

The Arabians weren?t keen to share their precious coffee beans; so in order to make sure no one else could grow them, they cooked or boiled the beans, making them infertile. However, according to one tale, an Indian by the name of Baba Budan smuggled out some fertile beans by taping them to his belly. This way, coffee arrived in Venice and spread all around Europe.

By the year 1616 the Arab ban on exporting coffee was flouted by the Dutch who began to export and import coffee at their own behest. They grew coffee in the Dutch colonized areas of Java and Ceylon. By 1711, this new Indonesian coffee was being exported into the Netherlands.

Of course, now coffee is a staple. Making a great cup of coffee takes time and practice, but it?s well worth it.

Tea has an equally colorful and varied history. It all starts back in old China. Some 5,ooo years ago, according to ancient tales, the wise emperor Shen Nung happened upon tea somewhat by accident. Shen Nung, being a wise emperor, required that all water be boiled before drinking. As the story goes, on a journey in a distant land, Shen Nung and his court were resting and water was to be boiled by the servants. Some dried leaves from a bush fell into the boiling water, rendering it brown. The emperor, a curious man, tasted the beverage and found it to be refreshing. Thus tea was born.

Tea culture was pervasive in ancient China. In 800 AD Lu Yu wrote the first guide to tea called the Ch?a Ching. The book detailed various tea rituals, cultivation methods and preparation. The work was heralded as a masterpiece and backed by the Emperor himself.

The Japanese weren?t introduced to the beverage until the priest Yeisei brought it back to his homeland from China some years later. After that tea was big in Japan.

Tea was introduced to Europe in 1560 via the Portuguese Jesuit Jasper de Cruz. From there it spread like wild fire. - 17269

Read How To Care For Your Body While Bodybuilding After Forty

By Scott Fisher

Now is a great time to turn your chubby or unfit body into an athletic figure. There is no reason to believe that bodybuilding over 40 is less effective than it was 20 years ago. However, there are some precautions you should take to protect your health as you exercise.

After you have researched bodybuilding and fully understand the unique needs for fitness over 40, you should study the success stories of other men and women bodybuilders your age. Find several people whose fitness goals and body styles are similar to yours. Use them as role models to develop your own training schedule and program. Pay special attention to how gradually they began training, including reps, weights, rest, and cycles.

When you first begin bodybuilding over 40 it would be best to choose a longer cycle that gives you plenty of rest. Your body will need more time for renewal and repair because it is not used to or primed for this activity. Ideally you would work out one or two muscle groups on day 1. On days 2 and 3 you would rest. On day 4 you will train another muscle group and then rest for two days. On day 7 you would work out the remaining muscle groups and then rest for two days before beginning again. As you become more advanced, you can decrease your rest periods and shorten your cycles if you prefer.

Do not push yourself in the beginning by adding too much weight. Younger people often start off with too much weight. They cannot really start at a higher weight than you, but their bodies can repair the damage they are causing more quickly. In fact, you should start out at a very low weight. This amount varies, but make sure it is low enough so that you can maintain control at all times and perform the proper movements.

When you first begin bodybuilding over 40, you will want to start with higher repetitions in addition to your lighter weight. About 15 reps are a good beginning. Some fitness experts recommend a "periodized" style where every other cycle uses lower reps with higher weights. You will have to judge your body's ability to adequately renew and repair before you begin this type of cycle. As you advance in your bodybuilding program, you can eventually lower the reps and add more weight to every cycle.

If you want to prevent injury and get the maximum benefit from your training, you should start with a thorough warm up. After stretching, most experts recommend a light 5 to 10 minute session of cardio. Afterwards, you should warm up the body part you are targeting that day by lifting half of the weight for about 10 reps. For example, if your goal for that day is to lift 200 pounds, you should warm up with 100 pounds or less.

If you have a prior injury, you will need to protect it. Even if your injury is more than a decade old, you will have to take caution not to re-injure yourself. Always talk to your doctor before beginning a bodybuilding routine, especially if you have been hurt before. Your doctor may recommend you use a brace or avoid certain movements.

These simple tips will help you practice safe bodybuilding over 40. If you have additional questions or are worried about hurting yourself, ask a certified trainer. A trainer can show you the best way to train your body. Remember, using caution and asking for help is the best way to prepare for a more intense workout later and will get you safely started on the path to fitness. - 17269

Easing Into An Abs Work Out

By Jace P. Andersen

There are many machines available that provide abs work out exercises. These machines, such as treadmills and rowing machines, are available in gyms and for homes. In addition, there are innumerable exercise videos that promise blazing six packs and awesome abs in a few days and with little effort. But we are going to stick with an easy abs work out for individuals who may not want to add machinery to their homes and don't want to go to a gym.

In order to make an abs work out work a person needs to decide that they are serious about doing the work to get fit. Toned abs are an indication that a person is eating right and exercising regularly. This kind of decision is going to require that a few decisions be made. Among those decisions will be when an individual is going to exercise.

Keeping track of success is important for a beginner to exercise. Many times the changes in a person's body are small and go unnoticed very easily so it is important that time be set aside regularly to evaluate how well the abs work out program is working and what adjustments might need to be made to make it work better.

It is important to stretch before exercising. When first beginning to do an abs work out a person can easily pull muscles. By stretching before exercising this risk is cut considerably. In addition, for an abs work out to be effective the cardio must be increased. Stretching exercises will accomplish this and make exercising more efficient. An abs work out should be a 30-minute exercise period. It may be shorter if a person is just starting but 30-minutes is plenty of time to focus on one area of the body when exercising.

One of the problems with many exercise programs is that a person must get up, lay down, get up, etc. When a person is beginning an abs workout it will be more successful if there are fewer opportunities to stop. By starting the workout with some simple exercises that only take place on the floor there is much less likelihood that a person will stand up for an exercise and get distracted.

On all fours while looking at a point in front of you, tighten the tummy and arch the back. This is sort of like a cat arching it's back. Hold the position for a count of 10 then release and relax. When first starting out only repeat this five or six times.

A mini sit-up is the next exercise in the beginning abs work out. Lying flat on back with knees bent and fingers touching shoulders perform a mini sit up while tightening the stomach muscles as you roll up to touch your knees with your elbows. Hold in position for a count of 5 then lay flat take a breath and repeat. This exercise will also strengthen the back muscles and tighten the gluts.

Next, prop the hips up with the hands and legs in the air. Make a bicycle riding motion with the legs while holding in the tummy. When the muscles start to feel tingly it is time to stop. These exercises do more than just tighten the abdomen. They strengthen the back muscles and also work the legs and gluts. By doing these exercises daily you should start feeling stronger in a short time and see results fairly quickly. - 17269

Suggestions and Precautions in Diet Change

By Jesse Regan

If you are bent on losing weight, you can decide to go on a diet. Doctors have declared it, after all, as one of the safest way of becoming fit and healthy. However, you should watch out over your eagerness as this may lead you to impose too much on yourself. If you get too impulsive with your diet program, you may just bring harm to yourself instead. This could result in a much longer process of losing weight, which may prompt you to end your diet change.

It is definitely not enough to have the motivation and the determination to succeed in dieting. There are cases when the most determined dieters just fold up and hit the kitchen with a vengeance after encountering some problems. Usually, these are caused by wrong ideas and bad diet practices. The most common among first timers is the erroneous thinking that dieting means not eating. Another common mistake is to continue taking in all types of food, including the fat and sweet ones, although in smaller amounts.

The truth is that one must eat. He should not forego meals but, instead, he should follow his regular eating schedule and take in enough quantities of healthy fares. These would include fiber to enhance his digestion, raw vegetables and fruits to provide him phytonutrients. Not everything with oil is bad; therefore, he should put nuts and fish on the menu as great sources good proteins and unsaturated fat.

Punishing the body by not eating for hours can be just as harmful as being overweight. One should not let himself starve for more than five hours. Instead, he should take some snacks in between meals. If he has just started changing his diet, it is recommended that he make the transition gradual so that he will not feel sudden deprivation. For the first week, he can just lessen his meals to only a small amount first. Afterwards, he may reduce it even further.

Try not to pity yourself for shunning those sinfully delicious foods but keep your focus on those healthy and good fares. Your self-pity might overwhelm you, prompting you to breaks some rules. It would be best if you take time to practice cooking healthy and fat-free food so that you will not find it practical to go to a fast-food joint and order a greasy quarter-pound burger. You can allow yourself to have some pasta and bread for your carbohydrate supply but do not overeat since you just need enough of this for your energy.

Certainly, you would want to see some developments in your diet to encourage you to move ahead. Any complement you hear from others about your fitness, eggs you to continue with the diet. You can make sure of this by doing a workout routine regularly. This will make you fitter by burning faster the fat left in your body while your diet ensures that you do not eat anything that can regain it.

A Brief Introduction To Fibromyalgia

By Pat Colapinto

Fibromyalgia is a controversial medical disorder is an extremely diverse and extensive set of symptoms which make it very difficult to diagnose. The most common symptoms simply include widespread pain in any area of the body. Other symptoms that are often experienced are excessive tiredness, interrupted sleep and stiffness in various areas of the body. The function of the bladder and bowels can also be reduced in more extreme cases and patients may also experience breathing problems.

The diagnosis of the condition is considered quite controversial, due to the fact that there have been a lack of laboratory experiments and confirmed diagnosis to prove that the disease actually exists and the symptoms actually belong to the specific condition. Although nothing is currently proven, there are also no absolute cures.

Recognition of the disorder has risen in recent times and many clinics to actively research the condition to try to set it apart from others. There are various forms of treatment that can help the problem go away to some extent, although there is no permanent cure. Rheumatology clinics are alerted to the problem and they may be able to help.

The majority of the sufferers of the condition are women between the age of thirty-five and sixty although there are plenty of exceptions to this rule. Fibromyalgia may also affect younger people for the elderly and can affect men as well. Approximately 5% of the population of the United Kingdom suffer from this condition.

Unfortunately, due to the wide variety of symptoms associated with the condition, it is particularly difficult to diagnose. However, it is still very important to get your local clinic since the symptoms that you are experiencing may be part of something else. By ruling out other conditions, sometimes an accurate diagnosis is possible although it does tend to take time and is certainly not easy to accomplish. - 17269
