Are you healthy or hungry?

The key to weight Management.

Maintaining a healthy weight throughout life is vestal for the ohysical and psychological health of an individual. Eating habits and attitudes are usually established early on in life and are most often influenced by the environment. Just switch on the TV or open up a magazine and “healthy” is seen to equate “thin”. The way eat is also influenced by our emotions and “comfort eating” is often a result.The desire to gain weight is less common than the need to lose weight. Nevertheless it can be vary important for some people. Failure to maintain an ideal weight can be due to medical, biochemical or psychological problems where there is ca poor relationship with food resulting in compulsive eating, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and orthopedic.

ARE you UNDERWEIGHT?

As most people are trying to lose weight, the group of people who are trying to gain weight are often ignored, but some reasons for low weight could be a low calorie intake, psychological problems, malabsorption, nutrient deficiencies, poor digestion and increased intestinal permeability. This can lead to a number of health complaints such as nutrient deficiencies, degenerative diseases, low self esteem, anxiety disorder as well as eating disorder.

ARE you OVERWEIGHT?

Obesity and increased weight is becoming a serious problem globally even through there are more medical diets that claim to ‘lose those unwanted pounds forever’ and hi tech gyms with the latest equipments designed to tighten muscles that we never even knew we had. Even through you may do Pilates, yoga, aerobics or weight training, if you are not educated about food and don’t listen to your body, weight will always be an issue.

TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT AND TO AVOID HUNGER.

WATER.

Water is very essential if you are trying to lose weight as it flushes out stored toxins that accumulate over the years in fat cells. Ideally you should be drinking a minimum of one 300ml glass of good quality bottled water every one and a half to two hours. Please avoid ordinary water as it may contain chemicals and xenotoxins that the body is trying to rid itself and these are stored in fat cells increasing body weight over time.

CARBOHYDRATES.

Carbohydrates supply our bodies with the energy it needs to function as it is the main source of blood glucose, which is a major fuel for all the body’s cells Carbohydrates are divided into simple carbohydrates where the sugar is absorbed quickly into the bloodstream and complex carbohydrates including fiber and starches where the sugar absorption is at a slower rate. Good sources of carbohydrates are fruits, vegetables, wholegrain-wheat products, peas and beans as they are nutrient dense. Their slower sugar imbalances such as low and high blood sugar are avoided as are stripped of fiber and nutrients.

FATS.

Fats contrary to general opinion are vital to our well-being. There are three types: saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. The fat that we should be avoiding is saturated fats found un animal products as well as coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Excessive intake of this can increase body fat. Essential fatty acids are a combination of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. As their name suggests they are essential as they must be obtained from the diet. Good sources of essential fates are oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, nuts and seeds.

PROTEINS.

Are vital for essential growth and development and are needed for the manufacture of hormones, antibodies, enzymes and tissues. Amino acids are the “building blocks” of protein and any food that contains all the essential amino acids is called a complete protein. Good sources containing all the essential amino acids are meat, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs and soy beans. It is possible to make a complete protein food for vegetarians by combining partial protein foods such as combining brown rice with beans, nuts, seeds and wheat or beans with corn, nuts, seeds and wheat.

FIBRE.

Fiber acids in the function in the digestive system by retaining water resulting in better bowel movements. A high fiber diet can help lose weight over time. Good sources of fiber include wholegrain brown rice, whole wheat bread, oats, bran, rye, fruits, raw vegetables and legumes

Make a cake with your child

Most children love to create things, so it would be the rare child that doesn't want to get in the kitchen with mom and dad and find out what baking is all about. Kids get so excited about their creations; parents can encourage this by letting them help bake a cake. By helping in the kitchen, kids learn the basics of nutrition and cooking which will guide them the rest of their lives. It's also one of the best ways to spend quality time with your youngsters.
Pick out a simple cake recipe to get them started; a chocolate chip cake recipe is something that just about every child loves. Simple butter cream frosting that's brightly colored will keep their attention and be fun to frost the cake with. Candies, such as gumdrops, jelly beans and Lifesavers will bring out the artist in every child when they arrange them on the cake after it's frosted.
Go through the cake recipes with your child step-by-step and be sure and supervise any contact with the oven. Teach them how to measure correctly with measuring cups and spoons and the correct ways to mix the batter. If you have small children it's best that you use an electric mixer if one is called for.
After the cake has finished cooling, set up a frosting station with bowls of different colored frosting and different colorful, small candies. This is a great idea for slumber parties, also. Just use cup cakes instead of one large cake; each child can have their own little cake to decorate the way they like. And the kids will love eating their artistic creations!
So many parents don't get to spend much time with their children these days. Between work, school and activities, family time is put on the back burner. Take some time out of the rat race and spend it with your kids in the kitchen. Your children will be so proud of their baking accomplishments and you'll be creating memories that will last you and your children a lifetime.

Oil and Grease Stains Removal.

Oil and Grease Stains on your Carpet.
After blotting oil from the carpet as much as possible, cornmeal is applied to absorb the remaining spill. Talcum powder can also be used instead. It is then removed with a brush. A commercial dry-cleaning solvent like “K2r Spot Lifter” is sponged onto the grease or oil spot, followed by the application of a dry spotter.
A dry spotter is prepared by mixing one volume of coconut oil with 8 volumes of dry-cleaning solvent.A pad moistened with dry spotter is placed over the stained area until the stain continues to be removed. The stain is then flushed with a dry-cleaning solvent.
If the stain continues to be visible, it is sponged with water and then applied with a wet spotter and white vinegar. A pad containing wet spotter is placed onto it, until the stain vanishes. It is then washed and dried.

Oil and Grease Stains on Cotton.
The procedure for removing oil stains from fabrics like cotton, linen and spandex is essentially the same as that for carpets except that ammonia drops are used instead of white vinegar, in combination with the wet spotter.

Oil and Grease Stains on your Driveway.

In order to remove oil or grease stains from a driveway, the soiled area should first be covered with Portland cement so that it sucks the excess fluid. The practice is carried out several times. Stain is wetted and sprayed with an engine degreaser or applied with a full strength concentrated cleaning powder.

The floor is scrubbed thoroughly with a hard brush and washed with a water hose. An alternate method for cleaning oil stains from a garage is to scrub the floor using a hard wire brush after absorbing the excess oil.

It is then wiped off with a rag that has been soaked in oil turpentine. Then a paste is prepared by mixing 2 volumes of hydrated lime and one volume of oil turpentine. A 5 mm thick layer of this paste is used to cover the stain while covering a considerable area around the stain as well. A plastic sheet is placed over it and left overnight.

The paste is removed and the affected area is rinsed with a water hose. Yet another technique employed to clean oil and grease stains from a concrete driveway is to spread sawdust or cat litter above the affected area to suck excess liquid from the surface. It is allowed to remain over there for one or two days, and then swept away. Dried cement is then poured over the area. After a few days, the cement is swept away, leaving no stain behind.

Oil and Grease Stains on Leather and Suede.

A thick paste is prepared by mixing fuller’s earth with water. The paste is rubbed into the grease stain on a leather surface. After the applied paste has dried out, the resultant powder is removed with a brush. If it doesn’t serve the purpose fully well, commercial leather cleaner may also be employed. An oil stain on a suede surface can be treated first with lemon juice and then with steam, followed by scrubbing with a brush.

Inks Stain Removal (Ballpoint, Marker etc.)

Ballpoint pen/ink stains
A wet sponge is used to absorb as much ink as possible. After the stain has been dried in air, it is applied with a hair spray. The stained area is covered with a paper towel at the top and with another one at the bottom. The stain is pushed with the towel placed underneath and is moved into the one placed above the fabric. A stain remover is then applied. The fabric is washed with warm water and is allowed to dry.

Marker Stain Removal

Water based marker stains are cleaned by way of placing the stained area over a dry towel. The stain is dampened with water and blotted with another cloth, hence causing it to be removed. A liquid detergent is then applied to the stain and is applied to remain on the fabric for about 3 to 5 minutes.

The fabric is then washed with water having the highest temperature it can withstand. The entire process is repeated if the attain is not completely removed. Permanent marker stains require a difficult multi-step process to be completely removed.

The fabric is placed over a white towel and is applied with rubbing alcohol. After the stain has been absorbed by the towel, it is washed thoroughly. The same process is repeated first using nail polish remover and then using acetone instead of rubbing alcohol.

A solution of baking soda in water is then applied to the fabric. If the stain continues to remain, it can be treated with a commercial stain stick or a stain gel.

Felt tip pen stains

A paper towel is pushed into the stain to absorb the maximum quantity of ink. Denatured alcohol is applied to the stain using a cotton swab. The fabric is washed. Care should be taken to carry out the process as quickly as possible.

Red Wine Stains Removal

Remove red wine stain from clothes.

If boiling water is poured over a red wine stain from above, the stain completely vanished provided it is a fresh one. If the stained has dried, it should be soaked in white wine, which serves to bleach the red color. It is then covered with a paste of baking soda, and washed after a few hours stains will vanish completly.

Remove red wine stains from carpets.

The first step involved in removing red wine stains from a carpet is to absorb the excess liquid by a paper towel. A cleaning mixture is prepared by adding carpet shampoo in an amount of 1 teaspoon to a cup full of hydrogen peroxide. A sponge is soaked in this mixture, squeezed and then used to absorb the wine stain. The affected region is then sponged with warm water. A paper towel is used to blot the region in order to dry it.

Remove red wine stains from fiberglass.

After blotting away the excess liquid, the stain is sponged with water followed by the application of a wet spotter, which is prepared by adding one volume each of glycerin and detergent to 8 volumes of water. White vinegar is dropped onto the stained area. A pad soaked in wet spotter is used to cover the affected area and is replaced when it gets soiled. When the stain completely disappears, the pad is removed and the treated region is washed with running water.

Precautions to cleaning red wine stains.

In case of a red wine stain on silk and wool, the sugar deposit left by the wine should immediately be cleaned before it leads to the formation of a permanent stain. The paper towels employed for blotting purpose should be white because colored ones can result in staining the fabric. Scrubbing the stain can result in setting it deeper into the fabric and should therefore be avoided.

Chocolate Stain on Clothing Removel.

The loose chocolate on the garment is removed using a paper towel. A thick past is formed by adding a small amount of water to a detergent powder. A little paste is applied to the chocolate stained fabric.

The detergent paste is made to penetrate the material by means of gentle rubbing. It is allowed to set for about 10 minutes. The fabric is then machine-washed. If the stain has completely disappeared, the fabric is dried.

Otherwise it is again applied with the paste and allowed to set.Another effective method for removing chocolate stains from fabrics is to soak the stained garment in a mixture of bleach, detergent and hot water, followed by rinsing and laundering.

Yet another method involves the application of heavy cream onto the stained area, followed by rinsing and washing. If a chocolate stained garment is applied with white vinegar and then put out in open sunlight for several hours, the stain disappears.

A garment can also be soaked in cold water to get rid of the cocoa stain. A suitable chemical for removing cocoa stains is hydrogen peroxide.As chocolate stains are quite stubborn, the process for removing these stains involves multiple steps, the first of which is to rinse the backside of the stained region with cool water.

Liquid detergent is rubbed on the affected area and is kept applied for about 5 minutes. The garment is soaked in a tub containing cold water for duration of 10 to 15 minutes. After regular intervals, the stained area is rubbed.

After the fabric has been rinsed, it can be made to go through the entire process once again if the stain is still visible. In the end, the stained region can be applied with a stain removing stick, a stain gel or a stain remover spray to remove any oily remains.

Remove Chocolate Stain From the Carpet

In order to remove chocolates stains from a carpet, the first step that should be employed is to remove the maximum possible stuff with hand.

Care must be taken that this step does not serve to increase the stain size. A spoonful of a neutral detergent is added to one-cup warm water. The resulting solution is blotted onto the spot. A cloth dampened with clean water is pressed against the affected area.

A solution of ammonia in water is prepared by adding 1 volume of ammonia to 5 or 8 volumes of plain water.

This mixture is dabbed onto the chocolate spot. The stained area is then dabbed with plain water. The entire process may be repeated.Another method designed to eliminate chocolate stains from carpets is to let the chocolate solidify.

Once the chocolate has hardened, it should be scraped off using a blunt knife or a scraper. The stained area is then directly poured with hot water.

Pouring is continued until the chocolate spot is completely eliminated. A chocolate stain should be dealt with as soon as it is acquired, to avoid the difficulties faced while removing an old cocoa stain.

Lipstick Stain Removals

Half a teaspoon Vaseline, alternately known as petroleum jelly, is rubbed on a lipstick stain and is allowed to set for about a minute. Liquid detergent is then applied and allowed to set for a while.

It is washed with water with a temperature as high as the material can withstand. The garment should not be dried in the dryer until the stain completely disappears. Removing lipstick stains from silk is relatively easy.

If a piece of scotch tape is placed on the affected area and then removed with a jerk, it removes the lipstick along with it.

If the lipstick stain continues to be visible, a small amount of talcum powder is put on it. As the powder is shaken off, the stain is also removed.

This process may be repeated a number of times to eliminate the spot completely. A commercial product for removing lipstick stains is a stain stick. It is kept applied for several minutes and then washed off.

Using chemicals to remove lipstick stains

Quite an effective method of removing lipstick stains is the use of rubbing alcohol. A terry cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol is used to wipe the stained area. Ammonia can also be employed to eliminate lipstick stains. After blotting the maximum amount of lipstick from the stain, ammonia is applied onto it. The garment is then hand washed with warm water and soap.
