PARADISE...A PLACE...WHERE YOU BELONG

Rio Experience

2011-06-16T21:15:00.000-07:00

The day started with me waking up in the bright side of the bed, when I got off the bed I saw my little Ashley already smiling at me and all excited saying, “We’re going to watch movie!”

And sure it was, we decided to get an early movie because it wasn’t only cheap, there are also only a few people who are in the movie theater and really makes it peaceful (nothing beats that!).

Ashley then excitedly puts in her 3D glasses, which is for the adults (she looked funny with the big glasses), so I told her to change it with the small ones for the children. The movie started out with colorful paradise birds that are singing to a lively beat. All throughout the movie, my daughter was just smiling and laughing all the time while munching a medium bag of popcorn all by herself.

There were a lot of funny scenes, and funny lines which really made the movie entertaining. It also raises the awareness of people about endangered species who are traded by smugglers for tons of money, without thinking about the effect of their actions to the environment. There is also always a share of love story, which added some spark in the movie, and it shows how vigorous the Brazilian culture is.

As expected with every children’s movie, this one has a happy ending. And as we went home, we were still smiling from the movie, so overall it was a good movie for kids and for those who are kids at heart.

Kung Fu Panda 2

2011-06-09T20:51:00.000-07:00

The weekend was approaching and it’s been a while since I had gone out to watch a movie. My hubby and I decided to have grandma baby set Ashley so we could go out and see scary movie in a theater. We asked grandma if it’s okay on her to watch Ashley but to our surprise Ashley was standing nearby and wanted to go with us. We said no, she had to stay home because we wanted to watch a scary movie but she loves watching it at the house, so there’s no way we were going without her.

As we got to the theatre, there were signs all over the place for Kung Fu Panda 2. Guess what? When she saw those signs, she doesn’t want to watch anything else but that. Plans had change. We paid for the movie, got some popcorn, soda and M&M’s for her. The movie started. She was very happy and excited. Plus, she was enjoying eating candy, soda and popcorn too. After about ten minutes setting on the chair, she wanted to sit on daddy’s lap. The next things I know she was fall asleep. We thought about leaving but the movie was cute and we paid nearly $40.00 dollars just to see it then so we decided to stay.

When we got home, Ashley awoke from her nap and told grandma and uncle all about the movie. Even though she only saw about fifteen minutes of the show she talked as she had seen the whole movie. I can’t wait ‘til it comes out on DVD so we can rent the movie and she can watch the rest of it. This time, we won’t let her sleep through it.

Weekend Getaway

2011-06-06T17:18:00.000-07:00

I always work 40 hours a week. After long hours of working, a little relaxation can surely bring me back to life. So, I’m planning to have fun on my days off. I asked my hubby about it and he suggests, how about going to the lake? Sounds good with me, since, fishing was one of my favorite activities when I was a kid. My three year old daughter Ashley also loves fishing. So last weekend, my family, together with my brother in law and his wife and son, decided to take the boat out and go fishing at Lost Creek lake. It was a very nice day. For a couple hours of fishing, we caught quite a few fish. If I’m not mistaken, we caught nineteen trout fish.

I really enjoyed our family weekend getaway and it was totally a blast especially for the kids.

Avoid the Saturday Chump Slump

2008-12-07T10:41:00.000-08:00

Watching what you eat, busting it at the gym and still not seeing the results you want? Maybe it's time to take a closer look at your weekend behavior—specifically, what you eat on Saturdays.

Recent research shows that even strict dieters and those who exercise faithfully tend to lose weight at a slower pace than expected because on weekends—particularly on Saturdays—they tend to eat more than during the week.What to do? Keeping a food journal helps, as does planning ahead. "If you know you are going to be out all day shopping, pack a healthy lunch to avoid the temptation of the food court. If you're going to be at the park with your kids, bring snacks for everyone so that you don't need to make an emergency stop at McDonald's."

Pickle over Sodium?

2008-11-06T20:40:00.000-08:00

For crunchy goodness, pickles are one of our favorite go-to snack items. Slow down, according as what I have read, "The problem with these delicacies is the sodium content. So, though they're low-cal and satisfying, most of us can ill afford all that salt, which can hover around 280 to 350 milligrams per pickle." That's a whopping amount considering that experts recommend keeping our daily sodium intake below 2,000 milligrams. To keep on snacking, why not try this other alternative.

"Mt. Olive now offers Reduced Sodium Kosher Baby Dills and Kosher Dill Strips. The baby dills have about 135 milligrams of sodium and the strips about 120 milligrams." That's something we can sink our teeth into!

Liquid Intelligence

2008-11-06T20:34:00.000-08:00

Thirsty? Sports drinks like Gatorade provide important mineral salts that your body loses through sweat during intense, sustained exercise. But they're also full of sugar. This means if you’re quenching your thirst with a sports drink, those 45 minutes on the treadmill just went bye-bye, along with your thirst. Am I right? You can probably stick to plain old H20.

"Refueling on lost electrolytes isn't necessary for a regular 30-minute cardio workout, but hydration is. So be sure to drink water often. If you're training for a marathon or doing a three-hour cardio-kickboxing workshop, then opt for sport drinks with electrolytes, since they'll give you both the minerals and fluids you need. To avoid the sugar altogether, then go for Smart water or Function Water."

5 Small Changes, 1 Big Payoff

2008-11-02T16:20:00.000-08:00

"It's more stressful to continue being fat than to stop overeating." We say amen to that. The road to healthy living can be a bit challenging, we know. We also know that it doesn't have to be overwhelming. Here are some small, practical that will impact your diet in a big, big way:

Add just one fruit or veggie serving daily. Get comfortable with that, and then add an extra serving until you reach 8 to 10 a day. Eat before you meet. Have this small meal before you go to any parties: a hardboiled egg, apple and a thirst quencher (water, seltzer, diet soda, tea). Use mustard instead of mayo. See what you eat. Plate your food instead of eating out of the jar or bag. Instead of whole milk, switch to 1 percent. If you drink one 8-ounce glass per day, you'll lose 5 pounds in a year.

Exercise Your Willpower

2008-11-02T16:12:00.000-08:00

Tempting foods can increase your willpower and help you stick to your diet. Yeah, you heard us. We're not sure if that's crazy or brilliant, but as what I have read that mixing all indulgent foods from your daily life may not be the best weight-loss solution: "Challenging yourself to resist temptation may be more effective than banning all sweets and snack foods from the house."

Here's the lowdown: By removing all temptation, dieters stop flexing their self-control muscles. And when the temptation arises outside of that safe, controlled eating environment? Well, we don't have to tell you how devastating one moment of weakness can be. Maybe it's time to exercise our willpower as well as our glutes.

Most of the people that buy properties internationally are in South America. That was I always seen in the television especially in travel channel. They usually go to countries like Mexico, Panama, then in the Caribbean. When they are being interviewed why they go to such places they simply like the beautiful place especially if the property is near the ocean shore. Also, the real market there is booming and they get the best value of their money. Some invest with property and turned it into a resort or have it rented for vacationers once they come back here in the US.

Spoil Your Appetite!

2008-10-25T11:15:00.000-07:00

In the hours between your afternoon snack and dinnertime, you could be susceptible to impulse snacking... especially if you're dining out. You know how it goes: It's been hours since you last ate and—plop!—comes the breadbasket (or chip bowl), calling to you with its empty calories. The horror! To avoid the calorie pitfall of the dreaded bread basket, why not try this pre-dinner snack? (Finally! Permission to spoil your appetite!)

An apple or pear and 1 tablespoon natural almond butter1 to 2 Laughing Cow Light cheeses or 1 Babybel Light cheese2 slices ham or turkey, rolled up and ready for snack!

Healthy Snacks for the Road

2008-10-25T11:10:00.000-07:00

Whether you're road-tripping' with your best girls, or just out for an afternoon of errands, eating healthy on the run can be... tricky. In a pinch, we can fall for junk food, simply because it's easier. What to do? Packing along one of these satisfying snack options:

Vitamuffins: At only 100 calories, these little muffins boast 6 grams of fiber and no artificial ingredients. Paired with a protein like nut butter or string cheese, they make a terrific on-the-go snack.
Hummus packs: These are often found with baked pita chips packed into the lid. For a slightly better option, trade the pita chips for a bag of soy chips.

Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal: The added protein powder makes it extra filling. Duck into a coffee shop to ask for a cup of boiling water and you have a perfect complete snack.

Bust Your Buns at Work

2008-10-20T18:44:00.000-07:00

If you've got some time (lunch break not quite over?) and aren't worried about strange looks from your cube mate, why not try these no-equipment-necessary, bun-tightening Standing Booty Kicks? Here's how:

Stand tall and place your hands on your hips. Put all the weight on your right leg, keep both legs straight and lift your left leg directly behind you. Let your glutes do all the work. Keep your left foot flexed and work on lifting your heel as high as you can without leaning your chest too far forward. Engage your abs to help you stay balanced. Lower your left leg so it's parallel with your right, but don't let it touch the ground, then lift it back up behind you. Repeat this move 20 times at a moderate pace, and then repeat these steps with the other leg.

Yippy Skippy

2008-09-26T14:23:00.000-07:00

Getting into a running habit requires a little bit of patience. It takes time to build up the kind of endurance required for a 30-minute run, and if you're like us, it can be really tempting to throw in the towel the minute we start feeling winded. Don't quit! Skip!

"Whenever you get the urge to stop and walk, try skipping instead. Skip for a minute or two and either return to running or walk for a few minutes if you still feel the need for break. Skipping will keep your heart rate elevated, and you'll burn more calories than you would if you were walking. Plus, it's a fun way to mix up your workout so you don't get bored. Do be prepared for some funny looks. But ignore them, because skipping is fun."

Save Your Vision

2008-09-26T10:04:00.000-07:00

Some of us experience vision problems especially if were getting older. My mother in law had this kind of problem. She is a diabetic that’s why her vision of sight is affected. She does undergo surgical treatments and after the procedure, she experience pain. After searching for better treatment she found this LASIK and after reading the LASIK information, she was overwhelmed because she did not know that there is a procedure to correct vision problems that is not invasive.

The Department of Defense (DOD) and NASA have been encouraging their personnel to undergo iLasik procedure to correct their vision. And 95% of the U.S militaries achieved a 20/20 vision. “LASIK exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness” said the retired U.S Navy captain.

LASIK technology is a great invention. It corrects vision by reshaping the cornea and creating a corneal flap to correct the vision. Before the procedure, you must be evaluated by your doctor if you are can be a candidate in the procedure but most of the healthy adults are qualified. iLasik uses a 3-D map of each eye called customized Wave Scan map. This will serve as road map for your iLasik procedure. It is painless because it uses two cool lasers to correct vision. That is why it is not painful. After the procedure, you are advised to wear sunglasses to protect your eye. The entire procedure is totally completed after 20 minutes only.

Diet to Avoid

2008-09-26T10:02:00.000-07:00

Easy does it! Weight loss takes time and patience, and while it's tempting to join in the latest get-slim-quick fad diet, it's far better to take an educated, practical approach. "Just because a diet makes headlines or a celebrity has success with it does not make it a healthy diet. Fad diet disasters may promote quick weight loss, but they will also cause even quicker weight gain—or put your health in serious jeopardy. A good rule to follow is to steer clear of any diet or eating plan that requires you to:

Shun an entire food group.
Eat less than 1,200 calories.
Restrict your ability to find substitutes or selections outside the framework of the diet.

Fresh Funds features these cute and corny episodes featuring The Sproutwells. Mrs. Sproutwell is kind of a crazy soccer mom. I have only one kid that is too young to make me a soccer mom; rather I am a soccer wife! Soccer game is a favorite past time of my husband. Usually every Sunday, our family used to have a picnic in the soccer field. It was fun especially seeing my little angel that she’s having fun also and says “yehey…go, go Daddy!” Isn’t that great? She’s having a good time and of course I’m crazy chasing her also all around on the field.

Below is the latest Sproutwells episode:

Honey!

2008-09-16T17:55:00.001-07:00

It's taking everything we've got not to make a joke about "nice melons," but, cross our hearts, the honeydew is one of our absolute favorites. Naturally fat-free, low in sodium and high in vitamin C, honeydew melons are mild, sweet and perfectly velvety in texture. In short, they're scrumptious. To get the most from your melons, keep these tips in mind:

Choose honeydew with a creamy white to yellow rind. Overripe honeydew can be bitter.Wash before cutting—melon rinds can hide bacteria. Ripen your honeydew at home by keeping it at room temperature or warmer for a day or two.

Serve it raw in a salad, have a slice for breakfast or blend it up in a smoothie.

Easy Swaps for Better Baking

2008-09-02T14:32:00.000-07:00

I love baking. It is one of my hobbies and feeding your sweet tooth while keeping a watchful eye on your waistline might not be as hard as you think. Some of your favorite fresh-from-the-oven recipes can be made a whole lot less of a diet threat with just a few simple swaps. Try:

Splenda (instead of sugar) has all of the sweet, but zero of the calories in sugar.
Applesauce (instead of butter) keeps your cookies and brownies moist, but without all that fat! Look for "no sugar added" varieties for even lower-cal treats.
Egg Beaters (instead of whole eggs) are low in calories, fat-free and cholesterol-free—they're a baking substitute that can't be beat.

Dinner date? You might be worried about how restaurant food will measure up to your diet—after all, there's often a shortage of good-for-you veggies on the menu. Don't let the menu hold you back. "Ask your waiter or waitress if you can add veggies to your meal. Ask for specific veggies that you love, or ask them to surprise you with a mix. Chinese, Thai and Italian restaurants are usually happy to accommodate your request, but it can't hurt to ask when you're dining at other places, too."

Veggie up items like pizza, pasta, stir-fry, sandwiches, burgers, omelets and wraps. There may be an added charge, but the boost of flavor (not to mention fiber and nutrients!) will be worth every penny.

Eat healthy for a healthy body!

What Seafood Recipe You Like?

2008-08-25T12:36:00.000-07:00

I love cooking and its one of my favorite chores if I’m not working besides cleaning the house. I love to try new recipes because eating same dish every day is tiresome. I like to get recipes from my friends, relatives and most of all in Internet.

Recently the Great American Seafood cook off had just launched and I've found this site which offers a lot of interesting and new recipes by a well known chef. Besides, we can also vote for our favorite recipe which used domestic, sustainable seafood. By voting and entering the contest, we might get a chance to win a trip to New Orleans. The prize package includes two Southwest Airline roundtrip tickets, hotel accommodations, dining experiences and many more! Isn't that great?

Among the five recipes listed, I voted for the Gulf Shrimp recipe by Chef Mark Holley from Texas. I love shrimp a lot that’s why I voted his recipe. Apart from that, I also love the ingredients that used to cook the dish such as bacon, eggs, black pepper, black beans and cheese. If I were to try out this new recipe myself, I think I would like to add a little bit of chili powder, just to spice up a little bit since I like spicy food.

Do you like to cook? Do you like to try out new recipes? If you do, you should really check out this site. There are a lot of recipes there that used domestic seafood which is fresh, healthy and tasty!! Check it out!

Good Fatty Foods

2008-08-25T12:20:00.000-07:00

In the battle of the bulge, fat is the dirty old F-word. But good fats are absolutely essential to a truly healthy diet. Not only does dietary fat help your body absorb vitamins A, D, E and K and aid your immune system, some essential fatty acids also increase your metabolic rate and help you burn stored fat. You read that right: Eat fat to lose fat. Choose from these good fats:

Avocado Oils like olive, canola, peanut or sesame
Nuts like almonds, cashews or macadamia nuts
Olives
Fish like salmon and tuna

Don't forget—along with choosing the right kinds of fats comes watching the serving size. Keep your fat intake to less than 30 percent of your total calories!

Can I Borrow?

2008-08-25T11:59:00.000-07:00

When I was in my high school days, I was staying in a boarding house because our house was far in the school. I was fourth year high school that time and our final examination was coming. Before the exam, our teacher in history used to check our notebook notes. It was included to get our final grade in history. I have no problem on that because I take note every time our teacher’s discussion. One of my classmates wants to borrow my notebook. Take note he is the one have crush on me too. Whew! I told him to get it tonight after the class because that time I left the notebook in my boardinghouse. That night, my land lady told me that there’s somebody looking at me outside. When I get out in my room I already bring the notebook he wants to borrow because I know he’s the one looking at me. I’m not wrong he’s there setting at the couch. I hand him the notebook and I thought he will go then but he still setting and asking for a few things regarding on the exam. So, I sat beside him and discuss all the pointers that might be come out on the exam. After that, he asks if I have boyfriend, what I like and dislike. It’s started like that. I realize he’s courting on me. After he comes twice, trice, many times in my boarding house to court finally he got his Victory Hair!

The Look to Get Their Attention

2008-08-15T17:16:00.000-07:00

Some people told me that I have strict face. There was a time that somebody told I am a snobbish person but my friend told them that I am not. I am friendly once I get to know the person. Maybe they hesitate to smile at me because they are afraid that I will not smile them back. The truth is, I am just afraid to take the first move. I am a shy kind of person. I didn’t talk if you didn’t talk first. That’s what I am. I just remembered on my high school days, lots of guys have a crush on me but no one of them has the courage to approach on me. They are afraid. They think I’m strict. Whew! Good for them because they are not my type. They didn’t flirt well that can catch my good heart.

There are many ways on how to flirt and of course it really depends on how the person sees it as well. I never imagined that I impressed of someone’s flirting and that’s my loving husband. Honestly, this is a very interesting thing to try and gladly Extreme Style by VO5 has given us a chance to join their Ultimate Flirting Championship to prove how good we are on that area. Isn’t it exciting? I guess others made fun about this and why can’t we? Have fun and experience Victory Hair to the fullest.

Coconut Shrimp

2008-08-15T16:30:00.000-07:00

I like seafood. But most of all, shrimp is the best. That’s why I loved making coconut shrimp. Thought coconut shrimp was one of those dishes you find only in restaurants? Think again! It's easy to make at home, and it'll earn raves from the whole family.

You just need the following: 2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, Shake and Bake coating mix, original chicken flavor, or your favorite bread crumbs, 2 tbsp ground ginger, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, 3/4 cup flaked coconut, Dash white pepper (optional), 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 egg white, beaten until foamy.

To make is easy. Preheat oven to 350°F. To make the coconut crumb mix, combine Shake and Bake (or your own crumbs), powdered ginger, nutmeg, flaked coconut and white pepper (if using). Mix well and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine milk, honey, fresh ginger, brown sugar, and egg white. Beat together thoroughly. Dip shrimp in milk mixture and roll in coconut crumb mix. Bake in oven approximately 10 to 20 minutes depending on size of shrimp.

My husband really loves it. You can try it also.

Meat Healthy Tips

2008-08-14T16:14:00.000-07:00

Missing something? You could be if, as part of your low-fat diet, you've been avoiding red meat. Beef is an excellent source of high-quality protein and iron (two things your body might be craving), and it's surprisingly easy to include in a healthy low-fat diet. Just keep these tips in mind:

Choose lean or "extra-lean" cuts, like sirloin, tenderloin or round cuts.Keep portions to around 4 ounces (slightly bigger than a deck of cards). Trim the fat before cooking.Add flavor without adding calories by using vinegar-based marinades or a dry spice rub.

Eat healthy for a healthy body!

Colic Calm for Babies

2008-08-14T15:30:00.000-07:00

I’m a mother of a precious baby girl that was 8 months old now. She is perfect for me but there is one thing bothers me…she was fuzzy and farted a lot. I’m breastfeeding but she must feed in the bottle when I’m working. I’m frustrated coz after the busy day in work when I’m coming home I heard my baby crying. Beside, every night I need to get up because she was fuzzy. I don’t know what to do then one of my friends at work suggest trying colic calm. I must tell you this - Colic Calm is my savior! It's better and it helps lot. Within 30 minutes of receiving a dose or two of this gripe water, my baby stops screaming and is actually a happy baby. My daughter can now sleep at night without waking up with baby gas pains. It allows me and the rest of our family to get better nights sleep and piece of mind. I can't believe how wonderful this product is - it cures everything from gas to teething to hiccups. I am really happy for this product!

Baby's discomfort from colic, gas or reflux can be devastating for the entire family. Thanks to Colic Calm Homeopathic Medicine, there is finally a safe and natural remedy that ensures relief for everyone. Thank goodness there is no longer any need to suffer while "waiting it out".

For all moms, if you have same problem like me, try this product.

Food Substitute

2008-08-01T08:14:00.000-07:00

Getting more roughage in your diet can be as easy as making one of these simple swaps:

Substitute your white English muffin for the whole-wheat version.
Substitute your cornflakes for bran breakfast cereal or oatmeal.
Substitute your white rice for whole-wheat couscous.
Substitute your juice for fresh fruit.

Not ready to trade in your favorite cereal? I totally understand. For me, I start small by adding popcorn or carrot and celery sticks to my afternoon snack. Or my personal favorite—adding a half cup of Fiber One cereal to my yogurt—will give my 60 small calories and more than half of my daily fiber. See? Little changes can add up to a big difference!

2008-07-31T10:52:00.000-07:00

Bite and Write

2008-07-30T12:48:00.000-07:00

It is normal for every person have a secret in life. Usually, we have a diary to write down all the stories happen in our lives. But have you ever heard food diary? It sounds weird right? Food diary is writing down what you eat. Maybe you should be. According as what I have read, keeping a "food diary"—whether it's the old-fashioned pen and paper or an online spreadsheet version—can sometimes double your rate of weight loss.

How does keeping a record translate to diet success?Makes you pay attention to every bite you eat and provides accountability to yourself—a major boost to focus and discipline, the basis of all successful plans.

If you're just getting started with a weight-loss plan—of any type—an easy and effective tool is a food diary. Give it a try. You've got nothing to lose but extra pounds!

Viddiction Videos

2008-07-29T10:14:00.000-07:00

I like watching videos especially on my spare time. As a matter of fact, I always used the YouTube site. One night when I was browsing the internet I accidentally found a new video site that gets my interest. It is called Viddiction Video and it is new user oriented video site on the web. This website is all users created, so there are no corporations taking over all of the top rated video spots or featured video spots. I’m very curious with this site so I decide to watch some of their videos. After I watch, I can’t decide which one is my favorite. Honestly, all their videos are very nice and look like real. I have found that videos here at Viddiction are higher quality of content than most of the stuff on YouTube and other video sites. Meaning that I really get the things I want to see. It’s really true that Viddiction is a nice video site that I ever experienced.

Be Aware

2008-07-29T10:10:00.000-07:00

We have fallen for it before: the cereal box that screams "Fiber!" But one glace at the nutrition label reveals about as much whole grain as a powdered donut. "Buyer bewares!" Just because something is marketed as "healthy" doesn't mean it's actually good for you—even if it's from your favorite health-conscious brand or store. You need to watch out. For example, "Rice Dream, a company that offers ice cream alternatives, now offers chocolate pie." Sounds tasty, right? Before you toss it in your cart, take a good look at that label. "Three of the four pie choices are covered in a chocolate coating made with coconut oil and butter. Those are artery-clogging fats." Yucky!

So, all consumers be aware!

Does Too Much Fiber Make You Fart?

2008-07-26T12:02:00.000-07:00

A well-balanced diet means eating a lot of vegetables and fiber. And eating a lot of fibrous foods can—let's be frank—make you a bit... gassy (hehehe)Am I right? Not only can it be pretty uncomfortable, but it can become a bit of a social hazard. Believe it or not, we know. No one wants a new nickname that rhymes with "party."

But never fear! According as what I have read, if you increase your fiber intake by only 1 to 3 grams of extra fiber a day (eventually building up to a total of 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day), your body will adjust to this new, good-for-you, high-fiber diet and produce less gas. In the meantime, you can always try paying a visit to the pharmacy for some over-the-counter relief.

A Walk to End Alzheimer

2008-07-22T08:57:00.000-07:00

One of the important parts of organ in the body is our brain. Without it, our body will be useless. As we get older, our brain well changes just like the rest of our bodies. Most of us notice some slowed thinking and occasional problems remembering certain things. However, serious memory loss, confusion and other major changes in the way our minds work are not a normal part of aging. They may be a sign that brain cells are malfunctioning. In Alzheimer’s disease, parts of the cell’s factory stop running well. Just like a real factory, backups and breakdowns in one system cause problems in other areas. As damage spreads, cells lose their ability to do their jobs well. There’s no such cure for this type of disease and the person that have this well eventually die.

Here in United States, the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk® is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research – and it calls on volunteers of all ages to become champions in the fight against Alzheimer's. There are walks in more than 600 communities. A typical Memory Walk is a 2-3 mile walk held on a weekend morning in the fall. By teaming up with the Alzheimer's Association, you can walk with a purpose – and move us closer to a world without Alzheimer's. Together, we can MOVE a nation.

So what are you waiting for? Join the team now and offer a walk to fight Alzheimer’s disease. Show them the love and care you have!

Give Yourself a Break

2008-07-10T14:00:00.000-07:00

No, we don't mean the kind of break that sends you running for the vending machine with your pocket change. We mean that this business of eating right and slimming down to your healthy size takes time. Have patience. "The truth is that weight loss takes work and effort, and happens slowly.”No one complains that the weight crept on, so it should come as no surprise that it'll only creep off. So, what works best?

Secret of Healthy Eaters

2008-07-09T21:25:00.000-07:00

Did you know you can increase the lycopene and beta-carotene content of watermelon by storing it at room temperature for a day or two? Neither did us! But according to what I have read, some healthy eating do's are not so obvious. Here are a few more secrets of healthy eaters:

Release more lycopene in your tomatoes by baking them.
Reduce the production of cell-damaging AGEs (advanced glycation end products) by slow cooking meat as opposed to grilling or cooking it at high temperatures.
Activate more of the heart-protection compounds in garlic by crushing the cloves and letting them stand in a bowl for about 30 minutes.
Increase the cancer-fighting compounds in broccoli by steaming it.

Food Smart

2008-07-09T10:16:00.000-07:00

If you're counting calories, a day out at the ballpark can be almost as frustrating as it is exciting. Half the fun in America's favorite past time is the sensory experience of the food. Remember, healthy eating is not about going without; it's about being food-smart. It's all about asking yourself, "Is it worth the splurge?"

Investigate the calorie counts beforehand, so you know what you're getting into when you order. Here are a couple of tips for you to follow:

A loaded foot-long hot dog is equivalent to two regular dogs and buns. Instead, try turkey wrap (350 calories) or garden burger (300 calories). Forgo half the calories by splitting a jumbo pretzel, nachos or nuts. For the time it takes to pry them loose from the shell, a handful of peanuts will last you several innings--keeping you at 150 calories.

Taking Control: Future Therapies for a Host of Serious Diseases May Be Found in Women's Menstrual Blood

July 07, 2008: 01:28 PM EST

OLDSMAR, Fla., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With today’s hectic lifestyle, where most women are juggling careers, family, relationships, and a host of activities, the idea of possibly facing a serious illness in the future is not something that readily comes to mind -- especially when a woman is in the prime of her life. But what most women don’t know, is that the key to treating a number of possibly life-threatening diseases that she, a parent, a sibling or even her children may face in later years, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, may be found within her own body -- in vital stem cells, which can now be harvested from her own menstrual blood.

Now, thanks to the revolutionary research and technology of C’elle, a service dedicated to providing women with a safe and easy method of collecting and preserving stem cells found in her menstrual fluid each month, even the busiest woman can take control of her future, right in the privacy of her own home. With C’elle’s non-invasive collection process, menstrual cells are processed and cryo-preserved (stored at a very low temperature) for potential cellular therapies that may be used in the future. These self-renewing cells one day may even be used for sports medicine or cosmeceutical treatments, such as anti-aging therapies.

Tough Economy? Take control...with the click of a mouse on a pop-up calendar to mark your next cycle, order C'elle online for a limited-time introductory price at www.Celle.com

Do you want to avoid that after-lunch crash? To stay on top of your game, get a good, balanced midday meal. According as what I have read, choosing a 450-to-500-calorie lunch that has a balance of complex carbohydrates and proteins was best recommended. Oh, and go easy on the fats. Need a little more guidance? Try these “smart” balanced lunches:

1. Turkey sandwich on whole grain with romaine lettuce, low-fat mayo and mustard, and a yogurt.

2. Mixed dark, leafy greens with a variety of mixed veggies, topped with turkey and egg whites, and dressed with flaxseed oil and balsamic vinegar.

3. Whole-wheat English muffin with peanut butter and half a banana or sugar-free jam, and two cups mixed raw veggies with yogurt dip. To make yogurt dip, mix 2 Tbsp French onion soup mix into one low-fat plain yogurt.

Foods for a Good Mood

2008-06-27T11:09:00.000-07:00

Do you have a cranky mood? The problem might be hiding in your snack drawer. What you eat can have a huge effect on how you feel - and we're not just talking about your rumble tummy. According as what I have read, quick-grabs like soda, candy and white breads cause spikes— and ultimately crashes in— blood sugar, leaving you feeling less than your best. "The goal is to maintain an even, steady keel". Foods like almonds, avocados, low-fat yogurt or dark green leafy veggies helping you find and keep your good food mood.

Believe it or Not

2008-06-27T10:57:00.000-07:00

Do you believe in magic? Was it true or just an imagination?

I have an experience of watching this kind of stuff when I was young. It was a fiesta in our place that time and it was traditions that there are a lot of entertainments were going to be held. One of the entertainments was called Circus - an entertainment that you may be able to believe or not. They said that there are performers that can do unbelievable things. I’m curious about it. So, I ask my mother to brought me and watch that Circus thing. When we got over there, there are bunch of people watching and I’m almost can’t see the person who perform because I’m short. So, my mom grabs me and let me stand in the chair so that I can see well. My eyes gets wide when I saw skull body dancing, person eating blades and flames, cut head that can talk and lots of unbelievable things to mention. It’s really amazing. “How they can do that? That’s the big question in my head”.

By the way, talking about circus, there’s a new Cirque Du Soleil performance featuring CRISS ANGEL called 'CRISS ANGEL Believe' now appearing at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. Be a witness, how are the skills of other illusionists, such as Harry Houdini, different from those of modern magical masters, such as CRISS ANGEL.

They have the current Text Message contest where you could win tickets. How to join? Text 'Believe' to 22122 to win 2 tickets to 'CRISS ANGEL Believe'. Text now!

Treat Yourself to a Time-Out

2008-06-27T09:59:00.000-07:00

I got this information in the book and it’s nice to share with this to all people who might read my blog.

You know what happens. The minute you outlaw something from your diet is the minute you realize you can't live without it. And then the cravings begin those beastly little things. That's why we say ix-nay on the nixing. Instead of banning chocolate or (drool!) ice cream, give yourself a little taste. Better yet, set aside some time every single day to really get into your favorite treat. Put your feet up, close your eyes, and really eat the heck out of that (responsible, single-serving-sized) brownie. One small, daily calorie splurge just might save you from a desperate, diet-killing lunge for the cookie jar.

Grilled Tilapia

2008-06-21T10:21:00.000-07:00

It’s time to hit the deck! Backyard parties are perfect for effortless healthy-eating. Not only is grilling a low fat cooking method (fat in the food item drips right off!), it's the season for delectable fresh fruit and vegetables. A few tips for keeping your cookout healthy:

1. remove the skin from chicken before cooking,
2. use low-sodium marinades and sugar-free sauces,
3. stick to healthier options of traditional side dishes.

Prepare healthy, eat healthy. Just like this recipe of mine, grilled tilapia. Instead of using chicken, I used tilapia for a change. Besides, I like fish also. Grilling is better than frying especially this summer time. Grilled tilapia is easy to make. You just need lemon juice and seafood seasoning to marinate the tilapia. You can put some onions and garlic underneath their bellies while you marinate it. Set aside the marinated tilapia for a couple minutes before you grill it. Cook it in a low heat. Using charcoal in grilling is best!

• The first sign of breast cancer usually shows up on a woman's mammogram before it can be felt or any other symptoms are present.

• Risks for breast cancer include a family history, atypical hyperplasia, delaying pregnancy until after age 30 or never becoming pregnant, early menstruation (before age 12), late menopause (after age 55), current use or use in the last ten years of oral contraceptives, and daily consumption of alcohol.

• Early detection of breast cancer, through monthly breast self-exam and particularly yearly mammography after age 40, offers the best chance for survival.

• Ninety-six percent of women who find and treat breast cancer early will be cancer-free after five years.

• Over eighty percent of breast lumps are not cancerous, but benign such as fibrocystic breast disease.

• You are never too young to develop breast cancer! Breast Self-Exam should begin by the age of twenty.Resources: American Cancer Society National Cancer Institute Komen FoundationYou can help the lives of many women by spreading the word aboutThe Breast Cancer Site pink button as many times as you can.

Healthy Food

2008-06-11T18:20:00.000-07:00

These are the foods that good in your health.

Strawberries. One cup of this fruit has more vitamin C than an orange and they’re excellent sources of fiber.

Eggs. They get a bad rap for being cholesterol bombs, But recent studies have shown that eating one or two eggs a day does not cause any measurable increase in cholesterol levels, and that eggs are great source of choline, which boosts brain health.

Salmon. All fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids that essential for reducing blood pressure, decreasing the risk of heart disease and promoting healthy brain function but fatty fish like salmon have the highest levels of omega-3. The healthiest choice is wild salmon, not farmed.

Avocados. They taste so good, you worry that they’re loaded with fat, but they’re actually full of good for you monounsaturated fat. They supply lots of cancer fighting antioxidants.

For a better health, try to eat good foods everyday.

Grilled Hickory Pork Chops

2008-06-06T13:11:00.000-07:00

Its summer time and its nice to have picnic together with family outside. Talking about picnic, food is one of the things needed and grilling is the best to cook food outside.
Talking about grilling, this recipe of mine is good to make – grilled hickory pork chops.

How to make? It’s really easy. You just need the following: 2 boneless pork chops of course, ½ cup white wine, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove garlic crushed, ½ teaspoon dried sage, 2 teaspoons dried parsley, pepper to taste and of course hickory wood chips. Mix wine, oil, lemon juice, garlic, sage, parsley, and pepper in a small bowl. Place pork chops in a plastic bag shallow or shallow dish and cover with marinade. Refrigerate the pork, covered, for 2 to 4 hours. Meanwhile, soak the hickory chips in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. Put the soaked hickory chips over the coals. Cook the pork chops on the grill for 10 to 15 minutes, or until desired doneness is achieved. For best results, cover the grill while cooking so that the meat is infused with the smoke flavor. This recipe makes 2 servings. Try it, its really delicious barbeque.

Kinilaw na Tuna (Ceviche Tuna)

2008-05-30T13:28:00.000-07:00

I’ve been craving this kind of food since I never had this for almost over a year staying here in United States. I remembered when I was in Philippines, my mother used to make kinilaw na bolinaw(ceviche anchovies) for lunch or dinner and she made it so good!!! By the way, that’s the thing why I’m craving of kinilaw and missed the taste of it.

When I went shopping in grocery store and passing by in seafood aisle, something catches my attention, the ahi tuna steak. It is looks fresh coz of its redness and the price is not bad too. I thought also of making kinilaw for dinner and kinilaw na tuna is good. So I grab 4 steaks and put in the cart.

Making kinilaw na tuna is very easy. You just need the following: of course tuna fillets cut into cubes, vinegar(coconut wine is good), lemons, scallions, red onion, ginger, cucumber, red pepper and tomato is optional, salt and a little bit of monosodium glutamate.

How to make? First is soaking the tuna in vinegar solution and put some of the lemon juice. Then add ginger, onions, scallions, cucumber - by slicing or chopping.
Combine and mix all ingredients. Pour some salt and monosodium glutamate for better taste. Serve immediately. It’s really good especially when you put chili to make it spicy. For me, I just put some chops of jalapeno... delicious!

It’s all about our microwave!!!
I was in the kitchen cooking some dinner food when the fan goes on by itself. I didn’t turn it on, it’s really weird. So, I called my husband and asked him to check it out what’s going on. When he tries to turn-off the fan, it doesn’t goes off. He opens the microwave and something smell burn came out. I’m scared when I smell it, I thought it will explode and make our house goes on fire. So, my husband ran onto the garage and turn off the circuit breaker switch. Thanks God, nothing happened. Maybe just need to replace the microwave into new one!

2008-05-29T14:03:00.000-07:00

It’s been over one year living here in United States without having own cellular phone. Unlike when I was in Philippines, phone is not a problem. You can buy cheaper phones there as long you can text and call. The only problem is loading the phone, but at least there is pasaload or you can buy also e-lod that is also cheap. But when I got here in US, I just used my husband phone to call my parents and family in Philippines. It’s hard because I can’t used his phone whatever or whenever I like coz that his business phone. Last week, my husband planned to upgrade his phone, so I go with him. When we got there, one of their display phone catch my attention. It’s really nice and I like it. My husband asks me if I want to open an account for phone. Of course, I would like to. So, I open an account and it’s not bad I just pay $200 dollars. Next is the monthly bill, its ok…the good thing is “I got a phone!”

Helpful Tips

2008-05-29T13:24:00.000-07:00

Summer time rolls around, your local farmer's market can be a fantastic source of fresh fruits and veggies - this you know. But you might not know how to maximize your experience there - like how to get the freshest produce. Here are some helpful tips to follow.

1. Go for the items you can't get in the store. You love your gala apples, but have you sunk your teeth into an Arkansas Black or Harrelson apple? Farmer's markets can be one taste adventure after the next, if you're willing to open yourself up to something new.

2. Ask when it was picked. Why? According as what I've read "The sugars in foods like peas and corn turn to starch quickly after picking, so be sure you know when they came out of the fields.”Some vendors pick fresh in the morning, while others pick the night before because they have to drive two or three hours to set up for a 7 or 8 am market. Beware of anything older."

3. Take cash and a reusable shopping bag or shopping cart. Most vendors won't take your credit or debit card. And reusable shopping bags, while not a must, are just nicer to the environment.
