Drink and Dieting - the Best Drinks for Dieters

When people diet they don’t think carefully about what they drink – You need to though.

Eating and drinking are closely linked eat the right foods and drink the wrong drinks and you will reduce your chances of losing weight.

What are the best things to drink when on a diet?

Here we will look at the best drinks to aid weight loss and the ones that can slow down, or make your diet ineffective.

Let’s look at drink and dieting and start with the best drink of all first.

1. Water

Water pure and simple is the single best drink for losing weight and is the most important catalyist for weight loss in ANY diet.

A dieter should drink at least eight glasses of water.

Water is quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off.

It acts as a natural appetite suppressant by keeping your stomach full and fending off dehydration which can lead to hunger pangs.

Many times when you feel “hunger signals”, they are actually “thirst signals”, so before eating, drink a glass of water instead.

Most importantly of all, water helps your body metabolizes stored fat by helping the kidneys flush out waste.

When you don’t drink enough water the liver which works to provide stored fat for energy also takes on the task of helping out the kidneys and thus becomes less effective at metabolizing fat.

Drinking eight glasses of ice cold water a day burns about 62 calories because your body has to work to raise that waters temperature to body temperature – That amounts to about 430 calories per week.

2. Alcohol and soda

When dieting, don’t drink to much alcohol or sodas that are high in sugar. They contain plenty of calories and also make you feel hungry. So moderation is the order of the day.

Not all alcoholic drinks contain the same ingredients and have different affects on a diet.

Pure spirits are one of the best type of drinks to consume while on a diet because they contain approx 100 calories and very little in way of carbohydrates.

Examples would be shots of vodka, rum, Bacardi, or gin - With no mixer added.

If mixing these drinks when on a diet make sure you use diet tonic and diet cola’s etc

Wine is ok in moderation and many people like a glass with their meal a typical glass of red or white is both low in carbohydrates and calories.

Don’t go for sweet wines though stay with dry as they are not so fattening.

Beer is full of calories and really when dieting drink in moderation. Keep in mind that a pint of beer can contain a whopping 300 calories.

3. Coffee & Tea

Coffee is fat-free, but drinking it can be detrimental to diets why? - Because even though coffee in itself is fat-free, it is what can be added that hurts your diet.

Low and fat free milk is fine, but avoid cream. Finally, go easy on the sugar, if you have a sweet tooth.

All you have to do is remember that without added sugar or cream, coffee does not contain any calories.

Plain tea does not have any calories before you add your sweeteners and milk.

If you are looking for an option that does not contain caffeine, you may want to check out black or green tea. Many herbal teas possess a diuretic effect.

When it comes to the drinking of iced tea, you need to check the label to make sure that it contains no sugar.

4. Green Tea

A favorite diet drink is green tea.

The benefits of drinking green tea can be seen through the high concentration of antioxidants that can be found.

Studies have also shown that the benefits of green tea for dieting are visible when drinking just one cup a day and weight loss is speeded up.

5. Fruit Juices

When choosing a fruit juice while dieting, you should always look at the nutritional information found on the label.

You need to make sure that the juice is made from real fruit and not the sugar-filled concentrates that are loaded with calories. Providing the juice is natural any fruit or vegetable juice can be incorporated in your diet.

6. Milk

Milk contains calories but if used correctly in a diet can help you lose weight. Make sure that you choose low or fat free varieties that contain far less calories

One of the reasons that milk helps some to lose weight because it makes you feel full. It also aids in bone strength, as well as lowers blood pressure and provides a load of other nutrients our bodies need.

When dieting we all have to drink and the choices we make can have a big affect on how much weight we lose as you can from the above.

By all means enjoy any drink even alcohol but do so in moderation

Plastic Fluorescent Light Covers

October 31st, 2006

Saltwater Aquarium Lighting - Making The Correct Choice

Most people prefer to buy a plastic hood for their tank that includes a cover and lighting. Most packages contain either one or two fluorescent bulbs that are built in to the hood. This type of setup is very simple. You just place the hood on top of the tank, plug it in, and turn it on.

Standard normal-output fluorescent bulbs are perfectly acceptable for fish-only tanks, but they will not be able to support photosynthetic animals, and they will not be bright enough to accommodate other marine animals than need extreme amounts of light to survive.

Saltwater Reef Aquarium Lighting

If you intend to create a reef aquarium, your lighting needs will be different. For example, even placing a piece or two of live rock or soft corals will require you to replace at least one of the bulbs in your hood with a higher Kelvin normal-output bulb. A 10,000K bulb will usually be sufficient for some reed life, but only soft corals like mushroom coral (actinodicus) and sea mats would be able to live under the low lighting provided by two of these tubes.

Saltwater Aquarium Lighting - Types of Bulbs

There are four main types of fluorescent bulbs:

1. NO - Normal Output
2. HO - High Output
3. VHO - Very High Output
4. PC - Power Compacts (also known as Osram)

There is also another type of bulb altogether known as metal halide (MH). Metal halide bulbs are rated solely by wattage and spectral output. Since iodines and sodiums are not suitable for marine aquariums, you absolutely must avoid the type of metal halide bulbs that are found in commercial buildings and parking lots.

Saltwater Aquarium Lighting for Fish-Only Systems

For fish-only systems, standard fluorescent bulbs are sufficient. For reef aquariums, you need to ensure that you select enough watts for the number of gallons of water your tank holds. A 55 gallon aquarium, for example, would need at least 165 watts, and up to 275 watts in order for photosynthesis to effectively take place.

In order to get that kind of wattage, you might need as many as 4-6 fluorescent tubes, which is far more than any standard hood can accommodate. Thus for marine aquariums, one must generally choose VHO bulbs which require special ballasts. Or you could choose to go with metal halides instead.

Please note that a pre-made lighting system is NOT suitable for reef tanks. You will have to develop your own custom setup if you want the best possible solution. Some people use egg crates in their halide systems, but this is not advisable. A 250 watt halide bulb will melt egg crates!

Saltwater Aquarium Lighting - Metal Halide Bulbs

The trouble with metal halide bulbs is heat. They get very, very hot. You’ve probably touched a normal 70-100 watt light bulb in your house before. They get quite warm, but a 250 watt incandescent metal halide bulb will cause your tank temperature to rise precipitously.

Saltwater Aquarium Lighting Tips

You will need to make sure your hood keeps the bulbs at least 12 inches away from the water surface, ideally even higher. A distance of 15 inches would be better. This will allow some air to move between the bulbs and the water, but you will still need to use fans or a commercial chiller. Chillers can cost $500 or more, so this may not be a good option for you. But fans are acceptable for cooling if you cannot afford the added expense of a chiller.

Basic Guide To The Causes And Cures For Snoring

The sounds of snoring are possible since there are collapsible parts at the back of our mouth that relaxes when we sleep. Once these are at their relaxed states, the air flow will drive them to flip since they are dangling loose nearest to the throat. These structures will then strike each other as air passes which then cause them to vibrate and create sounds.

Persons bothered by this condition are affected by one of these following causes:
Excess fleshy structure in the throat- With more tissues that collide, it is more likely that snoring can occur. This explains why people snore when they have abnormal tonsils or adenoids. Overweight individuals, on the other hand, have larger necks that narrow the air passage while adding more obstructions due to the presence of excess tissues. Although rare, cysts and tumors can also directly cause snoring.

Some people have extra long uvula and soft palate. These muscles can dangle as a person breathes. These act as flutter valves that impede the normal air passage through the throat.

Obstruction in the nasal passage can also inhibit the movement of air from nose to lungs- If the person has stuffy nose, he is encouraged to breathe extra hard which then creates the vacuum in the throat. The parts that dangle loosely in this section of the respiratory tract are then subject to excessive movements. While a person doesn’t normally snore, the possibility that he would during hay fever season is high. Thus, many reports of snoring only when they have colds.

Problems with the nose construction- The nasal septum, the underlying bone of the nosal bridge that separates one nostril from the other, can also have deformities that may cause obstruction in the air flow.

Mouth breathing can also directly result to snores- Once the jaws drop during our sleep, a space will be created that would allow the tongue to fall back towards the throat. Again, this would create the obstruction that will encourage vibration, thus creating snores.

Having said all these, we then suggest that cures can be initiated when any of these results are directly counter acted.

Say for the excess tissues in the throat, the best possible cure is to remove the tissues that cause the blockage. This can be done through surgeries or through loosing weight.

There are many techniques used to surgically eliminate unwanted tissues. Some actually scrape these tissues while other allow electrically-induced disintegration of such muscles which will then be reabsorbed by the body. As for weight loss, there are also various methods of loosing pounds. Only, the person has to follow a comprehensive exercise or diet plan that will best fit his condition. Surgery is also used when the main cause of snoring is deviated nasal septum. This choice of cure will of course require careful examination and determined decision.

Mouth breathing, on the other hand, is best cured by shifting to nasal breathing. Many exercises had been devised to actualize this as much as there are a number of stop snoring devices that encourage the shift of breathing.

Problems on nasal passage are a bit less complicated to resolve. There are various stop snoring aids that aim to maximize the size of the nostrils through the use of clips and straps to facilitate better breathing.

Dr Oz Flu Prevention

October 30th, 2006



Cold and Flu - an Epidemic We Don’t Need

It’s the season, or should we say this is not only seasonal, but could occur anytime of the year. Perhaps it doesn’t have to happen at all. Who has the time for it? Wellness Formula by Source Naturals, has every herb to enhance the body’s Healing Powers every day. We are more aware in these times of how to take care of ourselves, but even so the stress of modern day living takes it’s toll. Standing at guard is the centuries old Dr. Christopher’s Super Garlic Immune Formula, especially for those that can’t shake off the Cold and Flu and have re-occurring bouts. Since it comes in liquid, just put some in juice. A Sensational Remedy!

Now how about those that want to avoid garlic altogether. Planetary Formulas has Yin Chiao Classic, written up in the Chinese Materia Medica, unmatched with all those Chinese Herbs, you just may not come down with anything. It is also known to help with allergies. Oh you’ve heard about Snake Oil? In the covered wagon days in the 1800’s, the so-called medicine of that time, the one they claimed cures everything, was in a brown liquid bottle. Well known today as Echinacea and Goldenseal, it could be your first line of defense. Zand has the Insure Herbal in Orange and Banana flavor for the little ones. For more prevention and protection of our Immune System, and to fight off those bugs, Alpha CF by Boericke & Tafel is a serious Cold & Flu, Congestion Formula for all those miserable symptoms. Warding off and nipping them in the bud, before it starts to get cha is the very famous Oscillococcinum by Boiron Homeopathics, originally from France. Coughing also could be an issue here. For calming that cough which could lead to Bronchial conditions, Now Foods has Bronchial Support in Tincture, dealing with this on an ongoing basis. Biggest secret in Las Vegas is Old Indian Wild Cherry Bark Syrup by Planetary Formulas, also known as Rolling Thunder for those Horrendous Chest Coughs. Wild Cherry Throat Drops are Sugar Free and soothes the Throat. Chinese Tonic Herbs known as Astragalus Jade Screen by Planetary Formulas protect from Cold Wind, tones the body (wei) and (chi) immune defense, energize and warms and can be taken safely year round, particularly for those with weakness. A professional patented Silver-by-Silver Biotics in 10 PPM. You’ve heard of Silver? Not that kind! or 10 PPM. What does that mean? The smaller the silver particles are, the better absorption into your bloodstream. Silver is known since the 17th Century as a natural antibiotic that works with 650 conditions. Also Source Naturals has a Colloidal Silver Spray for Sore Throats for Red Stuffy Noses and dealing with Allergies and Sinus and Dust. Bioforce USA has Pollinosan Nasal Spray, and they also have a Sinna Nasal Spray for Colds & Flu.

Now we address the Ears. Source Naturals has an Earache Formula and Clear Products has the Stash Oz’s (Master Chinese Herbologist) Formula called Clear Sinus & Ear with a blend of Chinese Herbs and Homeopathics. Children can also take this in 1/2 adult dosage.

Here we will incorporate a few more suggestions such as Nutrition Now’s Zinc Lozenges in Raspberry and Orange, not yucky tasting. A Tea by Longjiang river Health called Luo Han Kuo (LHK) 20 Sachets per pack, which has been used in the Orient as an ingredient in soups or stews or beverages for Respiratory, Lung, congestion and other Discomforts. Keeping Our Defenses Up, Because There is A Better Way!

Painting Windows & Doors Tips

Basically, the rule of thumb professionals house painters use, when painting trim is to work horizontally first, then vertically, and to proceed from the inside toward the outside.

Windows: You should always plan to paint the windows early in the day so they have enough time to dry before you close them in the evening. First thing to do is to remove any locks, curtain hooks and other hardware from the windows. This will speed up your work and produce a better looking paint job. Try not to apply too much paint to the window frame. Avoid getting paint on the window panes by using painter’s tape or just use a razor blade scraper once the paint has dried. Also, another handy tip is to open and close the window a number of times while the paint is drying so that it doesn’t dry shut.

Doors: When painting any type of door, always start with the edges. Flat doors or flush doors are best painted with a large foam roller. Foam rollers will leave a much smoother looking finish. The first step is to remove the door handle and any locks. Start by rolling the paint on the top half of the door. Dip the roller in the tray for more paint and continue to roll the bottom half of the door. To smooth the paint out, finish by rolling the full length of the door with light pressure strokes. This time do not re-dip for more paint. Apply a second coat following the same process once the first coat is dry. For panelled doors use a paint brush. Begin by painting at the top of the door, panels first, then rails (horizontals), and then stiles (verticals). To prevent drips less paint is best. It is better to apply two light coats of paint than one heavy coat.

Painting windows and doors can be a huge home renovation job, especially when you want all of windows and doors painted and looking their best. It also takes planning as it can become very inconvenient on your family and become a very messy process. No matter how good these tips are painting windows or door is not easy. It takes an apprentice painter years to complete training. To save on time and inconvenience, consider hiring a professional house painter. There are many Auckland Painters ready to provide you with quotes for you next home improvement job.

As Swine Flu Winds Down, Hurricane Season Revs Up

Carl Weinschenk spoke with Geary Sikich, the principal for enterprise risk and crisis management consultancy Logical Management Systems. 

Weinschenk: Before we specifically discuss hurricanes, what mindset should people have in general about disaster preparedness?
Sikich: Prepare for the worst and expect to survive. You should recognize worst-case scenarios but realize the likelihood is that a worst-case scenario probably is not going to materialize. Prepare, but expect the unexpected. 

Weinschenk: Anything specific, like keeping extra supplies in the basement?
Sikich: I don’t want to have a lot in the basement because that brings a bunch of legal liabilities. There are things that people do that are somewhat over the top. For example, during Y2K my biggest expenditure was to buy a Weber grill with charcoal. I still have two bags that I never used. I only used the first in 2004. The burgers were good. I didn’t go crazy and buy a bunch of stuff. You shouldn’t have stuff that you are not able to consume at some point in time. 

Weinschenk: We are approaching hurricane season and still dealing with the swine flu pandemic. What is your impression on how well that was handled?
Sikich: You have to be sensible in planning. With pandemic planning, everyone wanted to know about masks. But in practicality, they are not necessarily of value for an organization… I work with a company that was looking at buying masks. Pandemics historically last 500 to 800 days. So in order to be fully prepared and make sure that it is done right, you would buy masks that would be sufficient for that period of time. [For a 500-to-800-day pandemic] just providing one mask per day per employee – that means no eating, smoking or drinking during the day – means that you would go through a lot of masks. Number two, there are a ton of issues that complicate that. What happens if somebody breaks the seal? Do they get another mask? [For one company] we actually priced it out and it came to roughly $89 million. When you begin looking at those numbers, people take a different twist on whether they need them or not. 

Weinschenk: Tie that to the big picture of preparedness.
Sikich: We overreact to things. We don’t know fully what we are committing ourselves to. As a result, we go off haphazardly and do things like buy masks, buy anti-virals — which are potentially less than effective in pandemic situations. A lot of times, there are things we don’t really consider very well. 

Weinschenk: Hurricanes, of course, affect the entire community. How closely should companies cooperate with local authorities?
Sikich: From a company perspective, it is important to have a fairly aggressive program of partnership with the community. In a disaster situation, the government essentially is going to be the entity in charge. As a result, your company is going to be directed to do certain things. You should work with the government and explain why your business needs to do certain things to stay in business and why they may want to coordinate with you on those issues. Essentially, a government could, under Eminent Domain, shut you down. The community is going to do what they have to do to protect itself. They can see that you do certain things and they could say, “Great, we are going to use those things for the good of the community.” 

Weinschenk: Does this work both ways? Do companies benefit by cooperating closely with the authorities?
Sikich: Coastal states such as Florida and North Carolina have done a fairly good job of developing hurricane preparedness programs. You need to follow them and mirror what they have so your program is a reflection of the program that the state and local communities have. Your ability to communicate with them effectively is pretty key. Local communications are the first stop. Think global and act local. Isn’t that where the issue is taking place? You need to ensure that on a local level you are coordinated. 

Weinschenk: What is important in terms of hurricane preparedness?
Sikich: Make sure that you have a plan in place. Most of the companies I deal with start to deal with hurricane plans months before hurricane season. It depends on what the company does. If I’ve got a refinery, they do different types of things to refine the crude oil. What does it take to shut [different] units down, as compared to companies [just] with computers in the office? The computer folks may just need to duplicate the data. [In other cases,] I’ve got to have a lot of stuff in motion before things go bang. For instance, a company may have a process that does a certain thing to a particular chemical product. It takes time to shut that type of thing down. 

Weinschenk: What has changed since Hurricane Katrina?
Sikich: I would have to say there is more awareness, but I am not saying there is any greater preparedness. People know what they have to do, but they do not necessarily take steps forward. 

Weinschenk: Do you feel that New Orleans has recovered?
Sikich: New Orleans is no better off, I would guesstimate. That is a pure guesstimation. I have not seen them do a lot of things to change their level of preparedness. They never recovered from that hurricane. I don’t know if the levees are any better off. I have no desire to do anything down there in terms of programs. They didn’t do some of the things that they needed to do – and they still need to do them. The cleanup was not what I considered to be totally adequate. Things just never got fixed like they should have gotten fixed.

How To Build Solar Panels For Power – A Beginner’S Guide To Building Solar Panels For Power

Here’s a simple beginner’s guide to building solar panels for home power…

Okay first and foremost, you must have all the necessary materials at the ready!

1) Solar cells
2) UV protector/paint
3) Silicon sealant
4) Wire
5) Solder
6) Flux pen
7) Non-reflective glass
8) Plywood panel and some wood

Once you have the above materials at your disposal, then it’s time to proceed with the assembling details.

1) How many solar cell you have? 80 cells will typically generate around 100 watts of power.If you have 80 cells, then cut the plywood panel to accommodate that amount.

If you need additional power, you can always build more panels and connect them together with some basic wiring setup.

2) The plywood panel should be coated with some UV protector/paint. After this you can start building the circuitry of the panel by linking together all the cells.

3) Take a look at the back of each cell. There’s a tab right on the back. This is where you put a tiny bit of solder and use the flux pen to get the job done pronto!

If you want to know how to build solar panels for power, you have to refine your soldering technique. Really basic stuff and it’s not that hard at all!

4) Now you should put the wire over the tab that you’ve soldered. Press it down a bit to make it stick. Now link cells together – negative meets negative and positive meets positive. Simple stuff!

5) Take out the silicon and attach all your cells to the plywood panel. Make sure you hold them all in place.  You can leave the wires exposed.

6) Create 2 holes to put the wires through the back of the plywood. Each wire goes through one hole.

7)  At this point, you can start fixing the glass and framing wood to the panel.

You know, back when I first leaned how to build solar panels for power, this is the step that I messed up badly!

I used regular glass sheet instead of non-reflective ones!

Once you’ve assembled the panel, then you can link the wire to either your deep cycle battery or charge controller.

Okay now you quit figuring out how to build solar panels for power because you’re all set to generate clean electricity for your home!
