A great option when it comes to vegetables is juicing. Juicing is not as difficult as it seems and the tips below will help give you the guidance you need to make an informed decision when it comes to juicing.<br /><br />When it comes to juicing, one thing that you want to keep in mind is that you need to inform yourself about the signs of aging for all of the ingredients that you will be using. This is important so that you do not cause a health risk to you or anybody consuming your juice.<br /><br />If you don't want to drink vegetables, don't. Juicing doesn't have to freak you out every time you throw something into the machine! Start with things you know you don't mind drinking, like oranges and apples or even carrots. The money saved and knowledge of what really is in your drink is what makes juicing so awesome!<br /><br />In regards to juicing, it is important to consider consulting with a doctor if you are currently pregnant or planning on getting pregnant in the near future. This is important because you want to make sure that the potentially powerful effects of consuming homemade juice will be beneficial to your baby.<br /><br />A good juicing tip is to start using cranberries in your juice. Studies have shown that cranberries contain a tremendous amount of antioxidants. Not even broccoli has the amount of antioxidants that cranberries have. Adding cranberries to your juice can be very beneficial if you can tolerate them.<br /><br />Juicing allows you to get the nutrients that are found in vegetables without having to actually eat them. Many people are not able to eat the quantity of vegetables that is needed to stay as healthy as they possibly can. The tips that were provided above gave guidance on how to juice vegetables and what things to consider. You have to make the ultimate decision to juice or not.Juliana W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12896030866298899835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032625722140902348.post-79224315150289233792013-03-22T17:39:00.000-07:002013-03-22T17:39:23.699-07:00Must Learn Wine Tips To Boost Your KnowledgeThe simplicity of enjoying wine starts with a foundation of knowledge.

This will lead to many years of great enjoyment.<br /><br />If you are entertaining guests, you should choose the wine you serve in function of the meal you prepared. A Sauvignon, a Merlot or a white Zinfandel is an excellent choice if you are serving beef, but you should choose a Pinot or a Cava if you are having seafood.<br /><br />When cooking a food that has lemon or orange as an ingredient, you should pick a wine that has high acidity. This will complement the food and bring about a pleasing experience for your guest. Do not choose bold and heavy wines for this type of meal because they can leave a metallic taste in the mouth.<br /><br />A great tip if you love wine is to look into joining an online message board that caters to fellow wine lovers. There are message boards for literally all kinds of communities. This is great because you'll be able to connect with people that share the same interests, and you'll learn a lot.<br /><br />If you have a cellar or even just a rack where you can store wine, do not fill the space completely with the wines that you like right now. Your tastes are bound to change over time. You don't want to be stuck with many cases of a brand you no longer drink.<br /><br />With all of this advice under your belt, you're sure to know more about wine now. This will allow you to be a better sommelier in your own home, at a friend's house or elsewhere. This will lead to many more delicate glasses of wine gracing your lips and a great deal of enjoyment ensuing.Juliana W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12896030866298899835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032625722140902348.post-53969003820124955642013-03-10T18:51:00.000-07:002013-03-10T18:51:21.184-07:00How To Find The Best Tasting Coffee BeansDo you really enjoy drinking coffee? Are you searching for ways to create a delicious brew at home? If so, there is help available to you. This article has a number of suggestions to help you, no matter what your experience level. Read on to see what you can learn to impress your friends.<br /><br />Have you ever tried drinking ice cold coffee or cappuccino? This is a good way to get the caffeine you need while drinking a refreshing beverage. You can either use instant coffee, mix it in cold water and add some ice or put some coffee grounds in a fine filter and place it in a glass of cold water.<br /><br />Many people use bacon soda to keep smells from permeating refrigerators, but used coffee grounds have the same effect. Coffee acts like a natural sponge, and it will absorb any odors it comes in contact with. This is why you should place a small dish of them in your refrigerator to keep odors at bay.<br /><br />Buy your own grinder. The freshest coffee usually tastes the best, so think about grinding your beans at home yourself. Check out the different grinders out there and make sure you can handle it easily. Be sure that it turns evenly, too. With the right grinder, you can enjoy the freshest coffee at any time of the day.<br /><br />Protect your coffee by putting it into an air-tight container. Keep it away from heat, light and air. This will help your coffee to stay fresh instead of turning rancid, and you will get a better tasting cup of coffee out of it too. Try an opaque container for best results.<br /><br />Hopefully, this article contained some new information that you can start applying today. Using these tips and tricks should allow you to create excellent brew. Not only will you be pleased, you will also be able to provide a great beverage to your guests.

There has been much clatter about recently about genetically modified foods and the hazards posed by consuming them. While the United States Government and FDA take a stance that these foods are 100% safe, this is not the opinion of other countries, governments, and even many of the citizens of the United States.<br />
<br />
Countries all around the world have voiced their negative opinions about Genetically Modified (GM) crops, the most vehement of voices coming from Russia, which banned the use, sale, and possession of GM corn, plants, and seeds in the country, after tests conclusively proved that GM corn causes cancer. In-fact, there are a number of genetically modified plants that we -- as Americans -- eat everyday that have already been banned in other countries of the world. A few examples include:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Corn</li>
<li>Tomatoes</li>
<li>Strawberries</li>
<li>Carrots</li>
<li>Zucchini </li>
<li>Cucumbers</li>
</ul>
The curious case of the cucumber stems from a European test that connected genetically altered cucumbers to cases of pubic baldness. The fact is, that we too are made up of genetic makeup like the strands found in plants. The danger in toying with the genetics of the plants we eat, is the possibility that those plants may begin toying with <i>our </i>DNA, causing diseases such as cancer and other mutations.<br />
<br />
The only way for a citizen of the United States to avoid these dangerous GM foods, is to grow your own foods. Unfortunately, the foods in our country that we eat in restaurants and purchase from the grocery store, do not necessarily need to be GM-free, and we don't even have the right to demand to know when we are eating these products. Hence, the only way to stay away from these products is to get yourself a <a href="http://www.texasgreenhouse.com/american-hobby.html" target="_blank">small greenhouse</a>, plant some heirloom seeds that have been certified as non genetically modified, and to conform to a rigid diet of only foods you have personally cultivated. This sounds like it is a lot of work, but it may very well save your life.<br />

Intolerance <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5rVYs2SMr9o/UMo938e1sFI/AAAAAAAAAYs/v5CeX0C8_l0/s1600/AD2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="164" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5rVYs2SMr9o/UMo938e1sFI/AAAAAAAAAYs/v5CeX0C8_l0/s400/AD2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
There is a large misconception today about whether or not so many Americans are truly developing food allergies. Food allergy cases have skyrocketed in the past few decades, raising alarm to the FDA and other health associations.<br />
<br />
The cause of this exponential rise is still being investigated. Some experts insist that these new cases are a <a href="http://histame.com/what-is-food-intolerance" target="_blank">food intolerance</a> rather than a food allergy. Food intolerance differs from a food allergy in several ways, the most important being that a <a href="http://histame.com/" target="_blank">food intolerance</a> is usually not fatal, whereas a food allergy is much more severe and quite often ends in death.<br />
<br />
In either case, the reaction to the food or foods in question results in the body producing histamines to try and fight what it believes is a dangerous foreign object or substance. These histamines are the cause of many of the body's natural functions such as rashes, swelling, sneezing, mucous, and in some cases even vomiting.<br />
<br />
For those suffering from these reactions to food intolerance, there is a treatment histamine blockers such as <a href="http://histame.com/" target="_blank">Histame</a> are supplements that are ingested, and have the effect to stunt the body's urge to send out these attackers when the questionable food is ingested.<br />
<br />
While much more research is needed to prove whether or not humans are gaining more allergies to substances, or simply more intolerance cases. But, at least for those suffering with intolerance, there is a remedy in histamine blockers. However, whether you have an intolerance or an allergy, if you have a reaction to certain foods, the best idea is to stay away from those foods until you have discussed the issues with your doctor. Both food intolerance and allergies are known to spontaneously show up and disappear throughout peoples lives, and you never know whether or not that reaction is going to be simply a burden, or life-threatening.Juliana W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12896030866298899835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032625722140902348.post-46004761271578300562012-12-07T07:46:00.000-08:002012-12-07T07:46:35.237-08:00Tis the Season...

<br />
Looking forward to a new year can fill you up with inspiration, excitement, and a feeling of fresh and new beginnings. Take advantage of this great spiritual and emotional motivation and make a promise to yourself that the new year will bring a healthier you through diet and exercise. Those suffering from <a href="https://plus.google.com/101467912588263007021/about?gl=US&hl=en-US" target="_blank">compulsive eating</a>, <a href="https://plus.google.com/112501165964175714097/about?gl=US&hl=en-US" target="_blank">overeating</a>, or other severe food-related ailments should especially take advantage of this new time. Not only are many dietary and <a href="http://www.hungryheart.org/program-options.php" target="_blank">weight loss programs for women</a> and men offering deals right now, but some of the best programs for <a href="https://plus.google.com/101391121744544468947/about?gl=US&hl=en-US" target="_blank">overcoming emotional eating</a> tend to have a high enrollment in January.<br />
<br />
Another benefit to beginning a weight loss program at this time of year is that as the months get warmer, and spring rises, your body's metabolism will also speed up, increasing the results you will be able to see as the year moves on.<br />
<br />
So before the holidays are over, put some serious thought into making that promise to yourself for a healthier, happier New Year.Juliana W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12896030866298899835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032625722140902348.post-35533092125164226622012-10-09T10:27:00.002-07:002012-10-09T10:27:32.926-07:00Replacing Diets with True Healthy Eating<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I am not much of a believer in traditional diet plans. I just can't believe that replacing a natural diet with Styrofoam, processed food is a healthy regimen for anyone.<br />
<br />
This is why I like the diet plans introduced by <a href="https://plus.google.com/101391121744544468947/about?gl=US&hl=en-US" target="_blank">hungryheart.org</a> so much. Hungry Heart knows that dieting is not about replacing an unhealthy diet with a lacking diet, but rather replacing an unhealthy diet with a natural diet rich in raw and essential vitamins and minerals.<br />
<br />
This approach do dieting has proven successful for many men and women, and is a viable program for battling food-addiction, <a href="http://www.hungryheart.org/overcoming-emotional-overeating.htm" target="_blank">overeating</a>, emotional eating, and <a href="http://www.hungryheart.org/program-options.php" target="_blank">compulsive eating</a>. <br />
<br />
The programs offered by hungry heart vary depending on the person, and their own personal issues with overeating, to browse through the programs offered, and find the one that best suits you, visit:<br />

One of the greatest renewable resources on this earth is the plant. Plants give so much for what small amount they take from the earth. In-fact, what they do give us is so vital to life and health.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.willisorchards.com/category/Fruit%2BTrees" target="_blank">Fruit trees</a> especially, are essential to us as human beings because in addition to giving us oxygen to breathe, shade from the sun, and a pleasing appearance, they also give us their truest gift, their fruit. The fruit produced by orchard trees such as <a href="http://www.willisorchards.com/category/Palm+Trees" target="_blank">cherry trees</a> and <a href="http://www.willisorchards.com/category/Apple+Trees" target="_blank">apple trees</a> plays a pivotal role in our health; antioxidants, vitamins, essential oils and many other nutrients that keep us healthy and looking well, are found in large quantities these fruits.<br />
<br />
Blueberries have been touted for years for their healing and protective properties. <a href="http://www.willisorchards.com/category/Blueberry+Plants+%28Northern%29" target="_blank">Blueberry plants</a> alone have been considered one of the best foods to protect against heart disease and cancer.<br />
<br />
Even with all of their miracle qualities, the most miraculous quality of all, is the ease it takes to cultivate and care for these plants. You don't need to own a 500 acre orchard to continuously yield fresh fruits for the entire year. These plants and trees can be easily planted and cared for in urban environments as well as rural.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.willisorchards.com/" target="_blank">Willis Orchards</a> makes it easy for anyone, no matter what city, town, or county they live in to easily care for these plants.

<br />
One formula that is critical to health, but sometimes forgotten, is simply H2O -- water. It does often get overlooked due to its simplicity and common uses.<br />
<br />
It is very important, however, to remember that a human being is 70% water, so 70% of your overall health is directly related to water. The most important factor being the PH balance of that water.<br />
<br />
We all have seen or read stories about how entire populations and species of fish have died off just from a minute change in their home-water's PH levels. The cells and systems inside a human body are just as sensitive to these types of changes as well. Re are now beginning to realize that wrinkles, heart disease, allergies, and other ailments are directly related to water quality and PH, so it's no surprise that more and more individuals are beginning to reap the health benefits from <a href="http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com/water-ionizer-comparisons" target="_blank">water ionizers </a>these days.<br />
<br />
By ionizing water, the PH can be held at healthy levels, and will promote healthier body function. <a href="http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com/enagic-water-ionizers" target="_blank">Kangen Water Machines</a> have grown in popularity recently and tend to be the most popular choice for water machines, but each and every <a href="http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com/water-ionizer-comparisons" target="_blank">water ionizer</a> is going to have its own positives and negatives.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="rcpdetail" id="mainstats"> <strong> </strong><br />
<strong>Yield:</strong> Makes 64 truffles<br />
<br />
</div><div class="rcpdetail" id="ingredients"> <h2> </h2><h2> </h2><h2> </h2><h2> </h2><h2>Ingredients</h2><ul><li> 18 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped</li>
<li> 1 cup whipping cream</li>

<li> 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-processed)</li>
<li> 64 candy corns (about 3 oz.)</li>

2. In a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of hot water, use a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon to stir together chocolate, cream, Grand Marnier, and marmalade until chocolate is melted. Scrape chocolate mixture into prepared pan, smoothing top.<br />
3. Chill until firm, at least 2 1/2 hours or (covered with plastic wrap) up to 1 week.<br />
4. Put cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Remove chocolate mixture from pan. With a long, sharp knife, cut chocolate mixture into 64 squares, each about 3/4 in. wide. Roll squares in cocoa powder to coat; place 1 square in each paper cup.<br />
5. Gently press a candy corn into the top of each truffle. Store between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.Juliana W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12896030866298899835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032625722140902348.post-13628156346316988752010-10-22T19:57:00.000-07:002010-10-22T19:57:00.200-07:00Halloween Treats#4 - Spooky spider eggs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img4.sunset.com/i/2009/07/spider-eggs-l.jpg?400:400" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img4.sunset.com/i/2009/07/spider-eggs-l.jpg?400:400" width="320" /></a></div>No recipe - I figure everyone has their own favorite on this... but the design is cute for us Big Kids:)Juliana W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12896030866298899835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032625722140902348.post-17423374515457697062010-10-14T09:53:00.000-07:002010-10-14T09:53:00.107-07:00Halloween Treats #3 - Tombstone Cookies<div class="rcpdetail" id="mainstats"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/uimages/kitchen/2008_10_29-Halloween.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/uimages/kitchen/2008_10_29-Halloween.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><strong>Yield:</strong> Makes about 2 1/2 dozen<br />
<br />
</div><div class="rcpdetail" id="ingredients"> <h2>Ingredients</h2><ul><li> 2 tablespoons cocoa (or cacao) nibs (see Notes)</li>
<li> 6 tablespoons butter, softened</li>
<li> 1/2 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling cookies</li>
<li> 1 large egg</li>
<li> 1/2 teaspoon vanilla</li>
<li> 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour</li>
<li> 1/2 teaspoon baking powder</li>
<li> 1/4 teaspoon salt</li>
<li> Melted semisweet or bittersweet chocolate</li>
</ul><h2> </h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div></div><h2>Preparation</h2>1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a blender, whirl cocoa nibs until each is about the size of a grain of rice.<br />
2. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar until creamy; beat in egg and vanilla.<br />
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa nibs; gradually add to butter mixture, blending thoroughly, to form a soft dough. Divide dough into thirds, cover each portion tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm (at least 1 hour), or up to 3 days.<br />
4. On a floured board, roll out dough, a portion at a time, to a thickness of 1/8 in. (keep dough refrigerated when not in use). With a sharp knife, cut out free-form tombstone shapes (about 1 1/2 by 3 in.; cut bottom edges at an angle to make them easier to poke into the pots de crème), and place slightly apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle generously with sugar.<br />
5. Bake cookies until edges are lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool completely before handling.<br />
6. Using a pastry bag with a very fine tip, pipe the letters "RIP" in chocolate on at least 8 of the cookies. Stick these cookies into the Dark Chocolate Graveyard Pots de Crème and serve the rest of the cookies alongside.Juliana W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12896030866298899835noreply@blogger.com0
