What Causes Stretch Marks

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

The following has been extracted from sections of the ebook “Getting Rid of Stretch Marks

What Causes Stretch Marks

Stretch marks occur when your skin is stretched for a long period of time, and happens either by rapidly gaining or losing weight. Once the fibers in the skin are pulled or “stretched” to their maximum levels, they cause scars. While men are less prone to these unsightly lines it is not unusual for guys to get them.

Pregnant women have to sit by and watch every part of their bodies grow. Naturally their stomachs grow rapidly to the point of no return. And with this sudden growth comes inevitable stretch marks. And don’t forget that if you have blond or red hair, have dry skin or are dehydrated, you’re at an ever larger risk of developing them. And once you have these scars, it’s tough, but not impossible, to reduce them.

The stretch marks that are directly related hormone activity mostly happen during:

  • Pregnancy
  • General growth for adolescent boys and girls
  • Rapid weight gain/loss
  • Depression or extreme unhappiness (believe it or not)
  • Long term lacking of certain vitamins and nutrients
  • Sudden change in physical or environmental conditions.

Most people think that stretch marks are completely incurable. To be sure, they are very difficult to get rid of, but they don’t have to be.

Honey Benefits | Discover the Benefits of Raw Honey

Benefits of Honey

Benefits of Honey

I have often wondered what the true benefits of honey are. Even though I choose to use honey in my morning coffee in preference of sugar, I have not really known why, only that I think that honey is healthier. It has just been had a personal preference for many years to use honey instead of sugar without knowing why.

Well I have been reading through an eBook titled “The Magic and Many Uses of Honey“ to discover the secrets of honey benefits. I wanted to find out more about “what are the health benefits of honey vs sugar’.

It seems that using raw honey definitely has greater nutrient that using refined sugar that has no nutrient value. However both are calorie dense, which means that eating large amounts of either while not exercising is go a good idea if you are concerned about increasing body weight. As honey is absorbed into the body quickly, it could be a better than sugar if you need quick energy for exercise.

According to this eBook, there are many uses of honey beyond the question “honey vs sugar”, some of which are unexpected that seem to have explored and developed since people first stated experimenting with honey 7000 BC.

The medical uses of honey may not be just for your Immune or digestion system, but for many other unexpected but everyday situations. However, there seems to be real health and medical benefits of honey use due to the fact that honey is naturally absorbed into the body and can used with other ingredients such as cinnamon, vinegar or lemon juice. Mainly because of the natural qualities and characteristics of raw honey, which is in unprocessed state, that retains vitamins and nutrients.
Many honey recipes aim to assist with aliments such as improving digestion, cholesterol, immune system and weight loss to name few from the eBooks’ list of honey uses.

However, due to today food processing methods and requirements, there is a concern about choosing the most appropriate honey for specific uses. There is a chapter titled “Choosing The Right Honey” which talks about. Raw honey benefits. Raw honey is unprocessed which means that it has not been heated, filtered or processed with additives. Raw honey is therefore is more beneficial for health as the valuable nutrients have been retained.

Some Raw Honey Recipes to try

Cinnamon Clove Honey Cookies

  • 1 cup sugar

Vegetable Garden Planting

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

Learn about home vegetable garden planting, vegetable garden planning and when to plant vegetables

An Australian TV program “Sixty Minutes” (http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/), recently aired a story titled “Backyard Revolution” by Reporter: Liz Hayes.”

A quote from the story “So, if you’ve had enough of tasteless vegetables, fruit that’s been sitting in a freezer somewhere for months and packaged food with less flavour than the cardboard it’s wrapped in, why not join the world-wide revolution. Grow your own, turn your backyard into a fruit and vege garden.” http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=797223

The story highlighted a new phenomenon of “Home Vegetable Gardening“ within the city environments in both backyards and inner-city areas that can be made available including run down tennis courts. There seems to be a growing resurgence of growing natural and healthy home – grown food for greater nutrition and awareness of what we are actually eating.

The supermarket produce may not be as fresh as it could be, thus not as nutritious as fresh food straight from the garden. Home Vegetable Gardening can be set up to produce food all year round that is both cost effective and plentiful. The benefits of home gardening may include “cheaper”, with a greater emphasis on fresher, healthier with nutrition.

For a greater insight into Home Vegetable Gardening, a free sample of the eBook “Home Vegetable Gardening” is available from “Advanced Digital eBooks” gift page “http://www.advanceddigitalebooks.com/freebooklets.php

Or for a full copy of the “Home Vegetable Gardening” eBook go to www.advanceddigitalebooks.com/wellness/vegetable-garden/

Home Vegetable GardeningThe main goal to having a home vegetable garden is to save money by growing your own food that is both healthy and fresh, as well as having food that is free from additives.

Well maybe easier said than done, the eBook  outlines guidelines for working towards the goal of having a consistent supply of healthy home grown food by first learning about a planting plan before starting.

The ebook indicates that to have a productive garden requires a systematic approach and constructive plan to work smarter and not harder.

Working harder could lead to frustration from unsatisfactory results by making mistakes by not knowing the correct course of action. By working smarter means learning and knowing the what, why and how and applying the information with appropriate action using systemised methods.

The ebook “Home Vegetable Gardening” does provide a step by step approach to what has to be done by when, from the garden location selection, to the soil preparation and what varieties of vegetables are appropriate to sow for various times of the year. The activities are looked as a big picture format and discussed under the headings, planting plan, planting table, check list and garden record. The follow content chapters are from Part One of the ebook.

PART  ONE
I Introduction
II Why You Should Garden
III Requisites Of The Home Vegetable Garden
IV The Planting Plan
V Implements And Their Uses
VI Manures, Fertilizers And Mulching
VII The Soil And Its Preparation

An extract from Chapter II “Why You Should Garden”

“The big thing, the salient feature of home gardening is not that we may get our vegetables ten per cent cheaper, but that we can have them one hundred per cent better.“

An extract from Chapter III “Requisites Of The Home Vegetable Garden”

“In the average moderate-sized place there will not be much choice as to land. It will be necessary to take what is to be had and then do the very best that can be done with it. But there will probably be a good deal of choice as to, first, exposure, and second, convenience. Other things being equal, select a spot near at hand, easy to access. It may seem that a difference of only a few hundred yards will mean nothing, but if one is depending largely upon spare moments for working in and for watching the garden–and in the growing of many vegetables the latter is almost as important as the former–this matter of convenient access will be of much greater importance than is likely to be at first recognized. Not until you have had to make a dozen time-wasting trips for forgotten seeds or tools, or gotten your feet soaking wet by going out through the dew-drenched grass, will you realize fully what this may mean. “

Chapter III also goes into the topics Exposure, The Soil, Drainage, Soil Antecedents, and Other Considerations.

An extract from IV The Planting Plan

“In the new way of gardening there are four great helps, four things that will be of great assistance to the experienced gardener, and that are indispensable to the success of the beginner. They are the Planting Plan, the Planting Table, the Check List and the Garden Record.”

Imagine being able to Enjoy fresh healthy food all year round that is practically free from budget restraints. Wouldn’t that be great?

Or what about if you could just walk out to the side garden to pick out a few items for fresh foods that you know are free from chemicals and additives.
