Miso Soup, MMMM so healthy
Pump it1 Dump it0      Posted on: 25-May-2009

Miso soup is a Japanese cuisine which is healthy and tasty too. With a soothing and mild flavor, miso soup is light and "brothy". Miso soup is very popular because of its rich taste, short preparation time and health benefits. In Japan, where miso soup became popular about 750 years ago when the samurai warriors were in power, everyone knows how to make miso soup. In Japan, miso soup is most often eaten during breakfast. When buying miso look for an organic brand without added MSG.

  • Miso paste contains soy, which helps regulate estrogen in women, a hormone that can cause tumors to develop.

  • Studies show that simply consuming one bowl of miso soup per day, as most residents of Japan do, can help cut the risk of breast cancer.

  • The wakame seaweed added to miso soup also possesses its own nutrients, helping to lower blood pressure and reduce cholesterol.

  • The combination of wakame and miso is also said to be an effective fighter against nicotine-related disorders.

Eggplant and Cheddar Omelet
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 17-May-2009

Eggplant is native to India. It has been cultivated in southern and eastern Asia since prehistory but appears to have become known to the Western world no earlier than 1500 CE. The raw fruit can have a somewhat bitter taste, but becomes tender when cooked and develops a rich, complex flavor. Salting and then rinsing the sliced eggplant (known as "degorging") can soften and remove much of the bitterness. Some modern varieties do not need this treatment, as they are less bitter. The eggplant is capable of absorbing large amounts of cooking fats and sauces, allowing for very rich dishes, but the salting process will reduce the amount of oil absorbed. The fruit flesh is smooth; as in the related tomato, the numerous seeds are soft and edible along with the rest of the fruit. This recipe is absolutely delicious and will be new family favorite.

Wrong ways of losing weight
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 15-May-2009

To lose weight generally people opt for shortcut methods that seem working fast however in a longer run the result can be more dangerous. The healthiest way to lose weight is neither crash diets nor bursts of exercise. The body likes slow changes in terms of food and exercise. The most effective way to lose weight is to reduce the amount of calories you eat and increase your levels of activity.

Some wrong methods for losing weight:

  • Starving: When you suddenly start starving themselves. Diets that severely restrict calories or the types of food 'allowed' can lead you to be deficient in the nutrients and vitamins that your body needs.

diets

  • Dieting: US scientists conducting a comprehensive review of dieting research have concluded that dieting does not work. Through dieting you can initially lose 5 to 10 percent of your weight on any number of diets, but then the weight comes back. A few of the essential elements of any diet are that it must result in long-term changes in eating patterns, and it must be individualized to you and your lifestyle. It must also include 3 meals a day, contain adequate calories for you to function and stay healthy, and it must contain a good balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and fat. And once you start dieting your body gets deficient of important nutrition.

Know the facts about Fat free food
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 04-Apr-2009

For a product to be fat free, it must contain less than 0.5g of fat per serving. This is all very well if we eat the stated serving size of that food, say one cookie. But if we consume more than a serving of that food, it ceases to be fat free. All those fractions of a gram will count towards your daily fat intake. Remember, fat free doesn't mean calorie free.

How Much Fat Should We Eat?

  • Total fat intake should be between 20 and 35 percent of total calories.
