2010-06-23T05:15:00.001-07:00

Are you actively looking to understand how to burn fat without exercise? If so then today I will describe a way in which you can train your body to naturally burn 10-20 lbs! Best of all the only thing required to do this is food! First I'll mention an excellent supplement for those who want a little boost to their weight loss program.

A Good Boost to Burn Fat

Drink 1 tsp Matcha Tea Daily: This is the most powerful form of green tea, it is the entire leaf of the tea ground up into a powder which you drink. It provides a powerful boost to your metabolism as well as providing a great deal of anti-oxidants to boost overall health. However if you are caffeine or stimulant sensitive you may still want to avoid matcha or at least use a lower dose.

Train Your Body to Burn Fat Without Exercise!

It's known as the calorie shifting diet and unlike other diets which actually slow down your metabolism while starving your body of food to lose weight. With calorie shifting you are boosting your metabolism by eating food! The way the technique works is that you eat 4 full meals every day, based on a calorie shifting meal plan or meal generator you eat various kinds of meals throughout the day which "shift" calorie types constantly. What this does is in fact is trigger your metabolism to activate since it sees a great deal of food coming in of various forms it feels compelled to burn fat.

The interesting thing is though the meals are always healthy for you in some way and rarely add onto the body as fat, so you get to feel full, not add on any weight while your body burns fat! This is the reason why most people are able to burn 10 lbs in 12 days by using calorie shifting! There is simply no better dieting system in existence right now, this is also the reason calorie shifting has become the #1 online dieting system of 2008 and 2009!

Caffeine Junkies - Give Teas a Chance

2010-06-21T22:30:00.001-07:00

Coffee has long been the beverage of choice for countless people with demanding jobs, endless schoolwork and the myriad of challenges faced everyday. Those demands require energy. The morning cup of joe has become a cultural phenomenon. Drive-thru windows, coffee-shops and gas-stations all provide many varieties of coffee to the masses. Coffee, soda, energy drinks. It's become a part of our daily routine.

Although coffee does have some health benefits that have been touted for the last few years, such as reducing one's chances of Parkinson's disease, colon cancer and maybe even diabetes, there are some unwanted side effects caused by caffeine. You may experience trouble sleeping, heart palpitations, high blood pressure or cholesterol, and the caffeine "jitters". Surely there must be a better way.

Enter tea. Tea is, next to water, the world's most popular beverage. Only in North America does coffee trump tea. Here, our experiences with tea mostly revolve around tea bags. Tea bags are rare in the most of the world, where loose leaf tea is preferred and in many cases, more common.

If you're looking for a big energy boost, try Matcha. Matcha is a Japanese green tea which is ground into a very fine powder. It is similarly steeped, but unlike other teas, you ingest the whole leaf, multiplying green tea's nutritional benefits nearly tenfold. This antioxidant rich brew is also much higher in caffeine.

Another beverage generating a health buzz is Yerba Mate. Although technically a herbal tea, since it comes from a completely different plant, mate is a nutritional powerhouse. It is also rich in antioxidants and contains caffeine and theobromine, the feel-good chemical in chocolate. It is a powerful stimulant and is said to have the same effects of coffee, but longer lasting and without the jittery side effects. Energy drink fans might want to try this one.

All teas naturally contain caffeine, but in varying degrees. And all teas, from the traditional British Earl Grey to the more exotic Oolongs and Pu'erh's, have antioxidants, disease-fighting properties and amazing flavour. To many, imbibing tea is a cerebral experience, a pleasure, and a tasting experience not unlike that of fine wines.

Constant Fat Loss Without Exercise - How to Constantly Burn Fat Using Supplements & Diet

2010-06-20T18:55:00.001-07:00

Are you looking for a way to experience constant fat loss without exercise? If so I have some fat loss supplements & diet to suggest that can help you lose over 20 pounds in 3 weeks! Best of all there is no exercise, you will always feel full and it's inexpensive.

Here are 3 ways to start constantly burn fat without exercise:

PGX/Carb Blockers: These are fiber supplements that are highly responsive to sugars and starches (carbs). They essentially bind to these types of foods and will prevent your body from absorbing them. As a result they are carried right out of your body. You need to take these types of supplements with your meals for them to work, but they can have absolutely incredible results. They are also incredible for balancing blood sugar and preventing insulin spikes, so diabetics benefit as well as those who need weight loss.

Matcha Powder: Matcha powder is a type of green tea which is far more potent, the main reason for which is because it is the entire leaf you are consuming. Very high in anti-oxidants and fat burning properties, this is an incredible supplement for overall health. I've personally used it and lost 5 pounds within a week and I didn't even want to lose any more weight!

Calorie Shifting: This is a type of diet which is very unique in that its focus is on improving how well your metabolism works. There is no starvation or any very strict rules, although there is a system to it. This diet can actually completely revitalize a sluggish or slow metabolism and practically make you begin burning fat overnight. Best of all you keep the results with no rebound effect unlike every other diet which actually slows down your metabolism. In fact many people who try calorie shifting not only keep their results but its very common to continue losing weight for weeks after you stop!

Tea, Spirituality and The Japanese Tea Ceremony: An Interview with Michael Ricci

2010-06-17T10:05:00.001-07:00

Michael Ricci was weeding the Tea House garden when I arrived for our interview. We sat in front of the little tea "hut" at Buddhist-inspired Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado where in just one hour I would scoot through the tiny doorway on my knees to participate in my first Japanese Tea Ceremony along with his students and other newcomers.

Michael found the Tea Ceremony (Chado) through Japanese Zen Buddhism. "I started reading about Zen and I kept coming across references to tea. I called up Naropa and they happened to be offering their first class on it through the extended studies program. There was one position left. I came and immediately fell in love with it." He adds, "It seemed like the perfect way to understand more about Zen and start doing something contemplative alongside my meditation. It was a spiritual path that made sense to me."

"Everything the Japanese do turns into an art, and that's the way they treat tea. Keeping the tradition alive is serious, and the rules are very important to them. The Japanese Tea Ceremony incorporates almost all of the traditional Japanese arts--flower arranging, calligraphy, laquerware, ceramics, bamboo, wood. I'm an artist so I just fell in love with all of it."

Michael spent two years studying Tea with Hobart Bell, head of the Boulder Zen Center before being accepted to study at Urasenke Headquarters in Kyoto under the guidance of 15th Generation Grand Tea Master of the Urasenke lineage of tea, which is the largest practicing tea lineage in the world. Here he was immersed in traditional Japanese culture and etiquette, learning all facets of Japanese Tea. But he had only scratched the surface after one year of study, so he stayed another year and a half. After that, he says, "I moved into a Zen Buddhist temple and trained alongside the monks. I didn't take vows, but I lived the life of a monk for 6 months."

It is from this humble state of mind that Michael shares his knowledge through his tea classes and his art.

"There are two ways to enjoy tea between host and guest. The first, Chaji, is a formal several-course meal that can last four to five hours. The abbreviated version, called Chakai, is simply a sweet and a bowl of tea."

Michael was teaching the day I was there, so each of his students performed the short version tea ceremony one by one over four hours' time.

There are no distractions inside the teahouse. Michael explains, "You're sitting on your knees in a very small room for 4 hours in a very intimate atmosphere. The dialogue is stripped down. Everything is designed to keep focus on the moment and to completely forget about the world outside of the teahouse."

"The little door, called nijiriguchi , was designed for everybody to bow their heads as they enter the tea room. Shoguns and Samari might be sitting next to peasants. They would have to take off their swords and leave them outside, bow their heads and humble themselves because inside the tea room everybody is the same." Nowadays, he says, we take off our rings, jewelry and watches. "Anything that says 'This is Me,' or that takes us outside of the tearoom. Tea Ceremony is a timeless realm in a bottle."

The ceremony is an expression of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility through each deeply symbolic gesture--a graceful choreography between host and guest.

Koicha is abowl of 'thick tea,' made with a lot of Matcha (powdered green tea) and less hot water. One bowl is shared between all 3 to 5 guests. The host serves the tea to 'First Guest,' (who is not a beginner and can model tea etiquette). First Guest bows to Second Guest and says in Japanese "Excuse me for taking my tea before you." Second Guest bows, too. First Guest drinks their share, turns and wipes the bowl's edge in a specific way with a paper napkin, and then passes it to Second Guest. Michael says, " Koicha is the most intimate part of the gathering, sharing the bowl like that." An initiation of sorts, I thought.

'Thin Tea,' Usucha , is more water and less tea, but only about three and a half sips. "It's just enough to quench your thirst. It's powder and it's not steeped. It is whisked," Michael explains. " During 'Thin Tea' the host makes each guest a bowl of tea from the same bowl. They each take turns first eating their sweet then drinking the tea." First Guest receives the bowl of tea, drinks it, passes it back to the host who wipes it, cleans it, and gives the next guest their bowl of tea in that same bowl. A watery sweet made of bean paste was served to refresh us that summer day.

Soon each guest in turn examined the utensils--scoop, bowl and whisk--and inspected the bright green valley in the bowl from which a portion of Matcha had been skillfully scooped by the host when the tea was prepared. As the host retreated to the tiny kitchen, the conversation between guests turned to appreciation of the warm weather, the tea, the teahouse. My body tingled with a feeling of wellbeing. Was it the L-theanine in the green tea? Or a result of paying close attention to every movement?

My mind arrived at stillness, like tea leaves settling on the bottom of a cup.

Losing 5 Pounds in a Week

2010-06-16T08:35:00.001-07:00

What? Can you really lose as much as five pounds of solid fat in just seven days? Sounds unbelievable I know, and that is because you have been taught over and over again by the so-called 'weight loss experts' that you cannot lose more than two pounds of fat week.

However there are certain underground weight loss tactics which, unknown to many, could accelerate the weight loss process to such a high level that you would find it difficult not to lose at least five pounds of fat in that same week, if not more. So how do you do it? Well that is what this article is all about. Read on to find out the weight loss secret.

Oh okay I probably forgot to mention that you can lose weight by drinking one of the most delicious drinks out there. If that doesn't sound exciting to you, I don't know what else will.

1. Green Matcha Tea: You have surely heard about the tremendous benefits of green tea with regards to weight loss. It is a known fact that green tea not only helps you lose weight by boosting your metabolism but also acts as a natural appetite suppressant. Now if you add a bit of matcha powder to it, the effect could only be mind blowing. Why? Just like the famous acai berry, matcha powder is also rich in antioxidant.

While it is true that green tea itself is rich in antioxidants, you could make the situation even more favorable for you by using the dual strength of green tea and matcha powder to make the Green Matcha Tea. Green Matcha Tea is obviously more powerful than plain Green Tea, in that it helps you burn fat unlike any other weight loss super drinks you might be familiar with. Try it, and I am sure you would not only like its fat burning capabilities but also the delicious taste.

2. PGX: Carb blockers serve a very important function: that of preventing carbs from getting deposited in your body as fat and making you overweight. Carb blockers do this by binding themselves with the carbs your body receives from your food. PGX is one such carb blocker. Even if you don't eat sugary foods at all, you still need this because even natural foods contain carbs in varying degrees. It is also a good remedy for those who are suffering from Typetwo diabetes. All in all, it is an indispensable tool for your arsenal.

3. A diet that makes you burn fat and lose weight: In case you are curious, it is called the 'calorie shifting' diet. Calorie shifting is a technique which doesn't believe in focusing on any single food group; rather it burns fat by making you consume foods of different calorie contents. In effect, you are not limited to eating just 'low-calorie' or 'low-fat' foods all the time.

Studies have pointed out that when you vary your calorie consumption level instead of restricting it to one fixed percentage, your body has no way of knowing whether to keep your metabolic rate high or low, with the result that it would keep your metabolic rate high at all times just to be on the safe side.

Do I need to tell you that the higher your metabolic rate is, the faster you burn fat and lose weight? The famous diet program FatLossforIdiots is based solely on this 'calorie shifting' method of dieting, and no wonder it has so many raving fans around the globe. If you haven't given it a try yet, I highly recommend you do.

Even Celebrities Do Calorie Restriction

2010-06-14T12:25:00.001-07:00

The phrase "calorie restriction diet" is a bit of a tough sell. It's not the most appealing name because restriction doesn't sound fun.

But I see that celebrities are doing calorie restriction. Kym Douglas, the author of the Black Book of Hollywood Secrets says, "The biggest secret I learned from celebrities is that they don't do "diet food". They eat the real thing, just not a lot of it.

"I remember sitting down to breakfast with Elizabeth Hurley and being shocked that she was having real bacon with her eggs, not turkey or tofu bacon. And she said: "I'm just going to have a salad for lunch and a little dinner, so it's fine. But I'm not going to have fake bacon."

Now, I don't tend to turn to celebrities for inspiration and I hate the size zero mentality that is so ingrained in Hollywood. I do think that calorie restriction is the most effective way to lose weight, however. So for fun I'm going to list some of the items in the A to Z list of Hollywood's hottest diet tips:

A FOR ASPARAGUS: Celebrities live on this because it's a natural diuretic and gets rid of bloating.

B FOR BRUSH YOUR TEETH: A nutritionist advised her famous young client that the best way to maintain her mere 15 per cent body fat was to use a toothbrush after every meal. And a craze was begun. Using a toothbrush signals to your brain that you are full.

...and BENEFIBER: Sprinkle it on your salad or in your coffee because it helps move food through you system more quickly.

C FOR COOKIE: Celebrities such as singer Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson follow the Cookie Diet. In other words, they "eat a cookie, skip a meal." They eat a healthy dinner of several hundred calories and eat only calories or biscuits at other meal times. They lose weight because it's based on calorie restriction.

... and CINNAMON: Celebrities sprinkle it in their tea because it supposedly can lower cholesterol and blood sugar.

E FOR EPSOM SALTS: The salts draw fluids out of your body. Heidi Klum and other stars use these before filming and photo shoots.

I FOR ICE LOLLIES: Oprah Winfrey likes iced fruit bars because they take a long time to eat and also satisfy her sweet tooth.

L FOR LICORICE: Eat a piece of licorice or a strong breath mint when you're hungry. It numbs the taste buds.

M FOR MATCHA GREEN TEA: One cup cup of matcha green tea is the equivalent of 8-10 cups of regular green tea. This boosts the metabolism and is an appetite suppressant.

P FOR PRUNES: Hollywood nutritionists suggest including four chopped-up prunes with the ground beef when you cook a hamburger. It reduces the fat by 40 percent and the prunes are tasteless so you won't notice that they are there.

Q FOR QUICK SUGAR FIX: One Los Angeles bun shop is particularly popular with Hollywood celebrities. Many of them order a tiny paper cup filled with icing instead of a big cinnamon roll. That way they satisfy their sweet tooth without eating the calories.

S FOR SUSHI: Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie love sushi. This seaweed is loaded with vitamins, has few calories and can lower cholesterol.

V FOR VEGANISM: Alicia Silverstone says that going vegan is the key to lasting weight loss: "I swear it's so easy. You don't have to have a diet mentality at all if you eat healthy, plant-based foods."

W FOR WEDGE SHOES: According to Hollywood stylists the footwear that makes you look the thinnest. Cameron Diaz, Jessica Simpson and Gwen Stefani all wear wedges for that reason. Stylists love them for cover shoots as it makes the featured actress look taller and slimmer.

That's only a partial list but you get the idea. These are tips that even real people like you and me can use. I'm making a mental note to try the icing tip sometime. I think I'll pass on the wedges, however.

Extreme Green Tea

2010-06-12T17:25:00.001-07:00

The health benefits of regular green tea are amazing enough. But did you know that there is another version that is even more potent? It is so potent that it has 10-15 times more nutrients than the regular kind. It even has more antioxidants than blueberries. It is called matcha green tea.

Matcha is made from only the top 2-3 leaves of the plant and uses the entire leaves. These leaves are carefully ground into a very fine powder. As a result, the tea is easily absorbed into the bloodstream.

I'll list some of the nutrients and benefits here:

* Vitamins A, B-complex, C, E and K.

* Trace amounts of the minerals calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, sodium.

* Strong blood detoxifier due to high chlorophyll content.

* 70 times the antioxidants of orange juice.

* Nine times the beta carotene of spinach. and 4 times the beta carotene of carrots

* Extremely rich in polyphenols (antioxidants) and catechins, especially EGCG, which helps fight cancer. In fact, according to a study at the University of Colorado, match has 137 times more catechins than regular tea.

* Boosts metabolic rate by 35-40%, thus assisting in weight loss.

* 2 cups of regular green tea has approximately twice the antioxidants of red wine, 7 times that of orange juice and 20 times that of apple juice. Matcha has approximately 10 times the polyphenols and antioxidants of regular teas.

* Adds fiber to the diet.

After reading that list it should be no surprise that it's the most potent green tea in the world. It has been consumed in Japan for more than a thousand years. Buddhist monks first discovered it and this is the type that is served at Japanese tea ceremonies.

Matcha tea has to be carefully grown and shaded. Weeks before the harvest, the plants are covered to protect them from directly sunlight. The leaves turn a darker shade of green as a result, which in turn increases the production of amino acids. Amino acids increase the sweetness. So if you feared that it would be more bitter because it's more potent, it's not. In fact, matcha is now a common ingredient in sweets. The leaves are harvested by hand and are also ground by hand with stone. Outside the US it is often not ground properly so it's best to purchase matcha from Japanese growers.

Even though it is so potent it only contains a small amount of caffeine (25 mg). It also contains L-theanine, which has a calming effect. Therefore the caffeine won't raise your blood pressure. The L-theanine also helps increase the powers of alertness and concentration.

If you are already a lover of green tea you might want to consider adding match to the mix. Even if you aren't a fan of the regular, brewed versions you might want to give this a try because the taste is pleasant and sweet. The health benefits are so great that everyone should at least give it a try.

History of Japanese Green Tea

2010-06-11T15:00:00.001-07:00

Originally, Japanese green tea came from China. It was originally grown there sometime around the ninth century. It came to Japan by Japanese Buddhist monks who studied in China. They learned about Chinese society and discovered green tea. They brought it back from China. Once in Japan, this tea was used as medicine in Buddhist templates. It was used for monks and aristocrats. Eventually, the Samurai started to drink the tea.

A few centuries later, green tea seeds were brought from China into Japan. Until then it was regularly imported. When it was imported it was very expensive, thus the reason it was only used by the wealthy. Once the seeds entered Japan, people began to cultivate and grow them. Once the populace started drinking the tea regularly, the health benefits of the tea became more widely known. In Japan it was used to maintain health and to maintain weight loss.

In China, the tea was grown in the shade, then streamed, ground, and dried into a powder. By the 15th century, green tea was commonly consumed in Japan by the Japanese people. Today, Japanese Tea is the secondly largest tea exporter in the world.

Green tea is one of the most well known teas in the world. It's one of the most consumed and comes largely from China and Japan. Recently the tea has become much more popular in the West because of health benefits and because of their ability to aid the drinker in losing weight. Essentially, green tea is one of the most healthy beverages you can drink.

Matcha - The Green Tea of All Green Teas

2010-06-07T03:30:00.001-07:00

For some, the idea of drinking a dark green beverage that has been mixed from a powder-like substance and tastes somewhat fishy, is not particularly appealing. But in fact, matcha is becoming one of the new trends for not only the health and beauty-conscious, but in the general market as well. Its appearance in such popular cafes as Starbucks, with the new Matcha Latte, is further proof of its increasing popularity. Tea bags watch out, there's a new way of drinking the green antioxidant beverage and it doesn't involve steeping.

Matcha has its origins in ancient Japan, being the popular drink of the famous geisha tea houses. The traditional serving of matcha is a learned art of the geisha culture and tourists in cities such as Kyoto can pay costly amounts to attend shows where they watch these beautiful, doll-like women serve the tea in its traditional ceremony. Or they can spend even more to actually go to a traditional tea houses and be served a cup of matcha with some sweet traditional Japanese pastries.

So what exactly is matcha and why all the fuss? Simply put, matcha is the green tea of all green teas. It is the earliest harvesting of the young green tea leaves and the pulverizing of them into a fine green powder which is then stored in small tins and sold in the fine tea shops all over Japan. A small amount of this powder is then mixed (using a special wooden mixer which somewhat resembles a small egg beater) with a small amount of warm (but certainly not boiling as this destroys the properties of the tea) in a small bowl, until creating almost a frothy liquid. The mixture is then added to the remainder of warm water and voila-- matcha!

Traditionally the tea is not served with sugar, but accompanied by a sweet treat or chocolate. It may result quite bitter and almost fishy to some first-timers, as the taste is definitely an acquired pleasure. Adding to some foreigners' shock may be the round, white sweet bean-filled pastries traditionally served with matcha in Kyoto. But, in fact, matcha is indeed a developed pleasure and after a few servings, the flavor definitely is acquired.

In Japan, matcha is as common a flavor as chocolate or strawberry. In supermarkets it is common to see the dark green powder as a topping or flavor for everything from ice cream to cakes to chocolate bars (ever try a matcha flavored Kit Kat bar?) In Japanese Starbucks, it is common to see young girls drinking Matcha Frappuchinos or businessmen ordering a matcha latte. But will the rest of the world be susceptible to this powdery green tea?

To find out the answer, check out one of your local tea and coffee specialty stores. Chances are they already have tins of matcha on their shelves. And chances are they are top sellers, despite the high cost (even in Japan these little tins are not cheap, about five times the cost of green tea sold in bags). And for more proof, check out the internet sites that are dedicated to the sales of matcha overseas...there are many! What is it about matcha that has foreigners scooping it into their mugs as well?

Perhaps it is the fact that matcha has some double the antioxidants of green tea in bags. Or the fact that Japanese women swear by its skin-rejuvenating powers. Or simply the trendiness of drinking tea out of a charming little metallic tin with a floral Japanese design on it. Whatever the reason, little paper tea bag beware...there's a new tea in town.

Sushi - Dry Ingredients You Will Want on Hand When Making Sushi at Home

2010-05-29T16:55:00.001-07:00

When making sushi at home you need at certain amount of dry ingredients on hand to use in almost all sushi recipes. Unless otherwise noted, you will need to use these items within approximately 6 months and store them in a cool, dry, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard. The following is a list of some of the more common dry ingredients you will need.

The Rice

White short or medium grain rice is best. Long grain white rice will not do. It cooks up dry and fluffy, you need your sushi rice to be moist and sticky so it clings together when making your sushi rolls. If possible try to shop in a local asian market or go online to find Japanese short grain rice. Some good brands include Koshihikari and Akita Komachi.

Dried kelp (Dashi Konbu)

Added to the rice while cooking, it adds a faint sea taste to the rice that is desirable in most finished sushi rolls. It resembles a broad, leathery, wrinkly ribbon. The darker green the better, reddish brown Dashi Konbu is usually old and less tasteful.

Dried Bonito Flakes (Katsuobushi)

Katsuobushi are shaved flakes of steamed or boiled, smoked and then dried Bonito (Tuna). Used in soups mainly, it needs to be stored in the freezer if not used within a month of first opening.

Powdered Green Tea (Matcha)

Matcha is used in the Japanese tea ceremony, but when purchased for sushi making it is usually combined with sugar or salt to use as a seasoning in certain recipes. Store opened packages in the freezer.

Sheets of Dried Seaweed (Nori)

Nori is dried sheets of seaweed used in the making of most of the sushi recipes for rolls. The best tasting Nori is dark green verging on black. Common sizes are 7 inches by 8 inches. It can be cut or broken (depending on how crisp it is) into smaller sizes for use in different sized rolls. Store in a tightly sealed bag in the freezer, then heat it in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 seconds before use.

That is some of the more common dry items you will need to make your sushi at home. Check any recipes you are going to use to see if you need any additional ingredients before beginning your sushi making.

Varieties of Green Tea

2010-05-22T08:55:00.001-07:00

Green tea is tea that has not been oxidized. Black and oolong teas, by contrast, are allowed to oxidize (Black teas fully, oolongs partially), thus turning the leaf a darker color, and changing the chemical composition, flavor, and aroma of the leaf and brewed cup. Green tea comes in many different varieties and is produced in many different regions.

Japanese Green Teas:

Sencha is the most well-known Japanese green tea, popular both in Japan and in the rest of the world. Sencha is produced by first steaming the leaves and then pan-firing them. Sencha can have a sharp flavor; its aroma is often described as being reminiscent of seaweed. Although sencha originated in Japan and is most commonly produced there, it is also produced in a number of other countries, including China, Vietnam, and even (rarely) Sri Lanka.

Japan also produces a myriad of unique varieties of green tea, many of which are unlike anything else available. Matcha, a powder made by grinding up the whole tea plant, produces a bright green opaque cup, and is also used to flavor ice cream, cakes, or pastries. Bancha is a basic everyday drink, usually less expensive than sencha. Hojicha is made by roasting the tea leaves. Genmaicha is made by mixing tea (usually sencha or bancha) with toasted rice and sometimes popcorn, and often with matcha as well. Kukicha is made of twigs and stems of the tea plant. Lastly, gyokuro is produced by shading the leaves during the last weeks of production. Hojicha and kukicha tend to be lower in caffeine, although both still contain some caffeine.

Chinese Green Teas:

Gunpowder is a Chinese tea with tightly curled leaves and a strong smokey aroma. Young hyson is similar to gunpowder, but slightly less smokey. Chun mee is a particular grade of young hyson. These teas are all pan-fired (not steamed) teas and tend to be relatively inexpensive and have a relatively sour taste.

Dragon well, also known as lung ching, is a lighter pan-fired tea that tends to have a more delicate flavor, and can be quite expensive. Other well-known Chinese green teas include bi luo chun (meaning green snail spring), a tightly-curled tea made from leaves gathered in spring, and lu an melon seed, a tea made exclusively from the second leaf on each branch.

Green Teas from Other Regions:

Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos, and Korea all produce green teas as well, each with their unique qualities. These countries, in addition to producing their own unique varieties of tea, also make teas (such as sencha, young hyson, gunpowder, or dragon well) in the style of well-known Chinese or Japanese varieties; even if produced in a similar manner, these teas have a unique character, owing to the differing climates between these regions.

Darjeeling, a district in India best known for black teas, has also begun to produce more green teas in recent years. A similar trend is happening, although more slowly and to a smaller degree, in other regions, including Assam, India, and also Sri Lanka (Ceylon), and Kenya.

Can Matcha Green Tea Powder Cure Candida and the Fibromyalgia Myth?

2010-05-12T00:20:00.001-07:00

Fibromyalgia is a familiar word today. Television and magazine advertisements flood our airwaves and glossy pages, heightening public awareness. Some promise cures, while others just proclaim aid in alleviating certain symptoms. Well, fourteen years ago, this was certainly not the case. The internet was in its infancy stage (as far as public use) and the barrage of pertinent information that the average person now has at his fingertips just didn't exist then. I know...because fourteen years ago, I was suffering...and looking for answers.

My plight back then mimicked those of many others - severe fatigue, muscle and joint pain, slight sore throat and a general steadiness of feeling lousy. I remember telling my family and friends, "I wish you could live in my body for just one day.....you wouldn't believe that I've lived this way for so long!" At the time, I had a two year old and a five year old who expected me to exude the vigor and energy they saw from other stay-at-home mothers. I saw general doctors, specialists, acupuncturists, massage therapists and a myriad of others who gave me even a glimmer of hope to recapture my life. Any literature out there at the time was nothing but depressing...the most optimistic headline would read "How I've Learned to Cope with Fibromyalgia and Try to Lead a Normal Life for the Last Twenty Years". Gathering the current information at the time simply put me in hopeless, negative state. But, by some miracle, my luck and mood would change.

Through some remote channel of friends, I learned about a Holistic practice in a neighboring state and made an appointment. My particular doctor (yes, a real medical doctor) was well versed in both Eastern and Western medicine and was originally from Russia...and our first appointment was an entire hour long dialogue. The tests administered there were none like the hundreds I had previously had...saliva test and hair analysis, in addition to blood, urine and stool and sent to a highly specialized lab somewhere in the middle of the country. While waiting for the test results, my body was still ailing, but my spirit, for the first time, was beginning to heal.

The test results came back...and the catch-all category of 'fibromyalgia' may have actually been incorrect. The condition I had was adrenal exhaustion and systematic Candida, an overgrowth of yeast in the body which can wreak havoc on every major system in the body. Again, back then, nobody ever heard of this, let alone diagnose it. Today, the web alone, has millions of pages dedicated to it. To combat and cure this, I met with the nutritionist in this holistic practice and was put on a very strict diet excluding sugar, breads, starches and many, many other things. Basically, the only thing I could eat was protein, vegetables and the occasional treat of popcorn and rice cakes. I was given quite a few supplements to boost my immune system and normalize my adrenal function. Lastly, my doctor (again, quite some years ahead of the curve) told me to get pure Matcha Green Tea Powder because of the antioxidants and numerous healing capabilities and have the tea twice a day.

Today, fourteen years later, I play competitive tennis three times per week and am in the gym six times per week since getting certified as a personal trainer. My energy level is high, my stress levels are low and my outlook on most things is always optimistic. I still grimace when I hear the term "fibromyalgia" and wonder if that's really what these inflicted people have. I am no longer on a rigid diet (still need my fix of licorice often) and now take only two supplements per day. The only routine I have never stopped is drinking my matcha green tea twice per day - especially since the health benefits go well beyond what I thought years ago.

What is Green Tea Powder?

2010-05-07T21:35:00.001-07:00

Green tea powder is made from the whole leaf of the Camellia sinensis plant. Often it will include the veins and stems of the leaf. It is milled from the leaf to make a powder. This powder can be used for making mixes for baking, cooking and even soaps and candles as well as drinks. It is also used in some cosmetics.

It is believed green tea powder was invented in China in the tenth or eleventh century. Through Buddhism it spread to Japan. It came to be called Zen by the Japanese. A sixteenth century tea master (Sen no Rikyu) put together the rules of the renowned tea ceremony. It was specified that matcha was the only tea to use for this ceremony. Matcha green tea comes from Japan.

A few weeks before the tea bushes are harvested they are sheltered from direct sunlight while at the same time this causes slowing of the plants growth. This results in the leaves turning to a darker shade of green. It also is causing the production of amino acids. This gives green tea powder the sweeter taste and a vivid green color.

These leaves are known as tencha after they are laid out flat to dry and then they are crumbled. These leaves are continually protected from the sun. They are then made into a fine ground powder. If it comes from Japan the green tea powder is known as matcha.

Green tea powder can be purchased in many markets world wide. It is used in many recipes today to give a wonderful flavor to such things as cookies, cakes, puddings, ice cream, milk shakes, smoothies, lattes and of course tea. Even some alcoholic beverages today have included it in their drinks.

Green tea powder presents numerous health benefits. The research that has been conducted around the world has revealed this fact. It can be used as a weight loss supplement as part of your weight loss plan. It also increases the metabolism rate helping the body to burn more fat thus another way it can aid in weight loss. It contains the same free radical fighting antioxidants as the tea. It is credited with aiding in cancer prevention, reducing blood pressure and reducing blood sugar levels.

It does not matter if you are enjoying it in your favorite bake goods or in a delicious drink; the health benefits of green tea powder are enormous. This form is just another way the benefits may be included in your diet for better health.

Symptoms of Yeast Infection in Men and Women

2010-05-06T21:00:00.001-07:00

Yeast serves in your body for a good cause but if it grows to a greater extent it spoils and imbalances the function of your body and creates havoc. Men suffering from this disease are in a very bad and uncomfortable condition. Men suffering from this infection badly need to get out of this pain. Yeast infection can cause serious issues, therefore it is advised to take precautionary measures and be aware of the symptoms one may feel.

Male yeast infection symptoms are characterized by the three levels of yeast infection. Following are the symptoms explained comprehensively;

Balanitis

Men suffering from balanitis or yeast infections have to suffer from the problems with the condition of penis. The symptoms one may observe on the penis are described as follows;

o The penis becomes very itchy which sometimes is hard to bear. The tip of the penis starts burning badly.
o The sex life is badly affected. The penis becomes tender and sore to touch, especially after sex.
o Red spots started to appear all over the penis. At times, the penis completely turns red.
o On the tip of your penis, some white stuff starts to appear, particularly under the foreskin.
o The foreskin starts dripping after it gets cracked and swollen sometimes blisters appear on it.

Prolonged yeast infection can lead to serious complications like, xerotica obliterans, phimosis and paraphimosis. This disease can highly affect your sex life.

Systemic yeast infection

These symptoms are unclear in their nature. Men are not actually suffering from neurotic illness but they are bit shrugged off. Following are the symptoms of systemic yeast infection;

o Tiredness is at its peak. One cannot actively take part in his daily routine tasks. This condition continues at least for three months. The energy level is very low. One gets readily tired.
o Men with this problem face muscular problems. Their muscles get weak, aches in different parts of the body is a common complaint. After working for some time, pain in different joints starts to create problem and hurdle in the daily routine.
o The digestive system becomes abnormal. Craving for sugar added food items increases. Men with this problem start to intake beer, bread, chips and food containing high amount of starch to the extreme level.
o One who never had taken beer in his lifetime, starts taking higher quantity of beer.
o Depression is one of the symptoms in this disease.
o The heart rate is increased.
o White blood cells start to increase.

Candidemia

In this type of yeast infection symptoms appear on the mucous membranes e.g anus, vagina, the urinary bladder and penis. Infection on breasts, the armpits and in naval are commonly known. In this type the bloodstream is highly infected. It is highly recommended to see a doctor to cure this disease under whose observation you are during a treatment undergoing for cancer or HIV virus, during which from an infected syringe you can catch the germs.

Acid Reflux Treatments - Acupoints, Acupressure and Acupuncture

2010-05-05T19:50:00.001-07:00

Scientist at the University of Adelaide in Australia conducted studies through the application of a mild electrical pulse in order to stimulate an acupressure point on the wrist known as the Neiguan or Pericardium 6 - P6. This acupressure point is linked to upper gastrointestinal conditions such as acid reflux. The stimulation of the acupoint resulted in the reduction of relaxations of the lower esophageal sphincter - LES. The relaxation of the LES is known to be the major cause of acid reflux syndrome. The acupoint stimulation reduced transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations - TLESRs, by a significant 40%, from 6 per hour, to 2 and ½ per hour. This reduction was also noted as being significantly higher than the results witnessed in the placebo group, whose members received just a mock stimulation on the hip.

Acupressure is a branch of Chinese traditional medicine whereby, pressure is applied by hand to the same acupoints, as those in which needles would be inserted during acupuncture treatments. Electrical acupoint stimulation is a high-tech version of the traditional procedure of acupuncture. Through the application of pressure to acupoints prescribed by ancient Chinese charts, specific areas and organs of the body may be effectively treatment of ailments using the energy of the meridian system known as Yin. In the process, Yang and Qi are brought into alignment, thereby allowing the body to heal itself.

The acupoint stimulation used in the above study was a modern version of ancient Chinese procedure, whose needles were replaced by electrodes that were used to send small electrical pulses to specific acupuncture points on the skin. According to traditional Chinese medicine, these points are connected to the internal pathways which conduct energy throughout the body. It is through the stimulation of these points that a healthy flow of (energy) is achieved.

You may also apply pressure to the P6 using your fingers. Acupoints are normally located beside and in between bones, tendons and ligaments. They are however, not found on bones, blood vessels or arteries, but instead in the depressions beside or between them. For years, acupressure to the P6 has been used in the treatment of vomiting, nausea, motion sickness, sea sickness, morning sickness, as well as post-op nausea. This traditional Chinese remedy has also been used in the remedy of insomnia, fever, epilepsy, chest pain and migraines. Acupressure wrist bands, also referred to as "sea bands" are today being used for this very purpose. The acupressure wrist band is designed to fit snugly onto the wrist, and has a small plastic button which is pressed in order to apply pressure to the P6. It is widely believed that these acupressure wrist bands may be instrumental in the reduction of acid reflux.

Tea: What is Green Tea?

2010-05-04T18:10:00.001-07:00

Green tea has been the most popular drink in Asian countries for centuries. But, in the Western world, black tea has been overwhelmingly more popular than green tea until recently. But, as we have learned more about green tea's unique taste and many health benefits, it has gained popularity all over the world.

Green tea, like black tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. The difference between green and black tea comes from how the tea is processed. Black tea is fermented during processing; green tea is not. After the tea leaves are plucked, they are laid out to wither for about 8 to 24 hours.

This lets most of the water evaporate. Next, to prevent the oxidation (fermentation) process, the leaves are steamed or pan fried. Finally the leaves are rolled before a final drying takes place. After this final drying, the leaves, which still look green, can now be sorted, graded and packaged.

The lack of fermentation causes green tea to look, smell and taste different than black tea. It typically brews to a pale green color and has a bit of a grassy flavor and aroma. This lack of fermentation also causes green tea to have more health benefits than black tea.

The fermenting process used for black and oolong teas causes a compound called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) to be oxidized, and converts it into other compounds. EGCG is a very powerful anti-oxidant, but the compounds it converts to during fermenting are not as healthful.

This difference means that this powerful anti-oxidant is in its most natural state; the state in which it provides the most protection to the body.

EGCG, like other anti-oxidants are important to the body because they rid our bodies of free radicals. Free radicals are oxygen containing molecules that are created as a byproduct of our digestive processes. Unless they are eradicated from our bodies, free radicals damage our cells and DNA, causing aging and disease.

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables and other plant based foods like green tea and wine, help us get the anti-oxidants we need to stay healthy. And, EGCG is one of the best and most protective anti-oxidants found in any food.

For this reason, cultures who have traditionally consumed large amounts of green tea throughout their lives have been shown to have lower incidences of many serious illnesses including cancer, heart disease and high cholesterol. In recent years there has been much scientific research linking green tea with a longer, healthier life.

Green tea has also been shown to aid in weight loss by speeding up the metabolism and increasing the oxidation of fat cells in the body. For years it was assumed that green tea's caffeine was responsible for this ability to aid weight loss.

However, more recent research has shown that green tea is more effective at speeding weight loss than other beverages with higher caffeine contents. Researchers have concluded that it is the caffeine in green tea combined with green tea's anti-oxidants that make green tea a better weight loss supplement than other caffeinated beverages.

Green tea was first grown in China. Most of the green tea grown today is grown in China and Japan, which is also where most of the world's green tea is consumed. However, it has gained a great deal of popularity in other parts of the world, primarily because we now better understand its health benefits.

Today, nearly any tea purveyor will carry green tea in loose form. There are many green tea varieties with distinct tastes. In addition, there are many varieties of flavored green tea. These appeal to the many people who may not find plain green tea's somewhat grassy flavor to be appealing. When flavored with other fruits and herbs, green tea can take on many different flavors.

One of the most traditional green tea forms is matcha. This form of green tea is used in Japanese tea ceremonies and was the primary form of green tea in Japan for centuries. Matcha is simply green tea that has been crushed into powder form. It is then whisked into hot water to make traditional Japanese green tea. Most other parts of the world use loose tea to make green tea rather than matcha.

Today, there are many varieties of green tea. Different green teas will have slightly different tastes depending upon the region in which they are grown and how they are flavored. If you're new to drinking green tea, there are many places to buy green tea and many flavors with which to experiment.

To brew a cup of green tea, use fresh cold water. Fill your kettle and place it on the stove to heat. While the water is heating, add warm tap water to your teapot and your cups, if you wish, to warm them. When the water comes to a boil, remove it from the heat and remove the tap water from your teapot. Let the water sit for about 2 minutes.

Green tea should be brewed with water that is about 160°F, which is cooler than most other teas. Add the green tea to your teapot and pour water over the leaves. Use about 1 teaspoon of tea leaves per cup. Most green tea should steep about 1-2 minutes before serving. The best green tea should give you 2-3 infusions.

There are many varieties and flavors of green tea for you to try. Buy a few different green teas in small quantities until you find the green tea that's perfect for you.

All About Acid Reflux

2010-05-02T17:05:00.001-07:00

Acid reflux is scientifically known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). It is a disease characterized by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus resulting to chronic symptoms or mucosal damage.

Acid reflux is often caused by temporary or permanent alterations in the lining that separates the esophagus and the stomach. Ineffectiveness of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) or a temporary LES relaxation connected with a hiatal hernia are just some of the common causes of acid reflux. The process can also lead to a backflow of gastric juices to the pharynx or mouth.

Among adults, the most common symptom of acid reflux is heartburn which is caused by the presence of acid in the esophagus. Heartburn is characterized by a painful burning sensation behind the sternum or breastbone. Another symptom or manifestation of acid reflux is esophagitis which is characterized by an inflammation of the lining of the esophagus which is also known as the mucosal lining. Esophagitis also causes swallowing difficulties and chronic pains in the chest area.

Sometimes, individuals suffering from acid reflux may also experience coughing, persistent pain in the ears, hoarseness or a change in the voice and even sinusitis. If acid reflux gets complicated it may lead to formation of a stricture or ulcers in the esophagus. It may also lead to a condition called Barrett's esophagus and in worst cases to cancer of the esophagus.

It doesn't mean however that a person who regularly suffers from heartburn is suffering from acid reflux. By all means, the heartburn may be from other causes. But if a person suffers from heartburn for more than once a week, then he or she is at a risk of acquiring acid reflux. Person with hiatal hernia are also at a greater risk in developing acid reflux than those who are not.

The pain felt by persons suffering from heartburn is caused by the reflux of acid contents from the stomach to the esophagus. A pain in the chest area coming upwards the mouth.

Persons suffering from acid reflux may also experience tasting something sour or salty behind her throat. This is cause by regurgitation. This sour and salty taste may persist even without heartburn,

Other less common symptoms of acid reflux include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, halitosis or bad breath, repeated throat clearing and water brash or hyeprsecretion of saliva.

The symptoms of acid reflux in children are also the same as that on adults. Acid reflux in children may manifest in frequent spitting, throwing up repeatedly, coughing and other respiratory problems. Children suffering from acid reflux may also experience weight loss, frequent crying, loss of appetite and bad breath. Parents must remember though that children may show one or many symptoms. There is not one symptom that is always present in children with acid reflux.

The cause of acid reflux in children, especially in babies is their immature digestive system. This is why infants stop having acid reflux when they reach the first year of age. However, some children do not outgrow acid reflux. Some continue o suffer from the disease up to the teen years.

The best thing to do for parents of children suffering from acid reflux is to take the children to the doctor as soon as possible to avoid any complications.

Confused About RLS Medications?

2010-05-01T16:40:00.001-07:00

Medical treatments for RLS are rare. For most sufferers of this condition, RLS can be taken care of with natural cures, but for severe cases, sometimes RLS medications can be used to help.

The most common treatment is pills or patches containing the drug dopamine. This chemical, which occurs naturally in the body anyway, is a neurotransmitter and is thought to help the brain communicate with the leg in a more efficient way, therefore reducing the pain and symptoms of RLS.

The most common source of dopamine is found in the drugs levodopa and carbidopa. The commercial name for the combination of these drugs is known as Sinemet. Using Sinemet to treat Restless Leg Syndrome has been shown to help 85% of patients. There are, however, side effects that include nausea, vomiting and headache.

A problem that has developed in patients that use Sinemet is rebound phenomena. During rebound, a sufferer may notice symptoms during a time of day when they have never had them before. Doctors are not sure why this happens, but it's almost if the body ends up having symptoms suppressed during the evening when the medication is taken and so it ends up displaying symptoms at other times to make up for it.

A second common way to treat RLS with drugs is by using dopamine agonists. These drugs do the same essential function as the others (increasing dopamine levels in the brain) but they usually result in fewer side effects in the long run. They do, however, have their own set of side effects that vary depending on which of the four commonly prescribed drugs are used. With Permax, the common side effects are nasal congestion and dizziness, Mirapex users complain of dry mouth, dizziness and insomnia, Parlodel users report fainting, abdominal pain, headache and weakness and Requip patients report sleepiness, indigestion, vomiting and dizziness.

A third type of drug that is commonly used for RLS treatment is benzodiazepines. These drugs are used as sedatives to reduce the affects of RLS during sleep. While this classification of drug is broken down into three different prescribed medications, the side effects for all three are the same: a loss of coordination, dizziness, slurred speech and drowsiness.

While none of these drugs can claim to be a cure-all for RLS, most sufferers have found some degree of help by using them.

For some RLS sufferers who don't show any response to dopamine treatment, there are drugs available that affect the central nervous system. The drugs are normally used to treat epilepsy. Carbamazepine is a commonly prescribed drug in these cases. These drugs are often more commonly prescribed to those that suffer painful RLS.

If a patient's RLS doesn't respond to any other medication, the only common treatment left is painkillers such as codeine or oxycodone. These drugs tend to be addictive, so they should only ever be taken under the supervision of a doctor.

Unfortunately, since RLS is so misunderstood by most medical professionals, there is no major consensus about RLS medications and treatment options.

Treating Yeast Infection During Pregnancy - What You Need to Know

2010-04-30T15:00:00.001-07:00

Yeast or Candida infection is a common disease and 75% of all people will experience this infection at some point. Although anyone can get yeast infection, pregnant women are more at risk to get infected than those who are not pregnant. Treating yeast infection during pregnancy could be a real challenge if you do not know how.

Yeast infection occurs basically due to overpopulation of Candida in the body. Candida fungus is normally present in our body and usually not harmful in controlled quantity but the overgrowth of the fungus can lead to infection. Reasons for the overgrowth of the fungus include taking antibiotics, diabetes and lowered immune system. In pregnant women, the hormonal changes and stress brought by pregnancy can affect the immune system making pregnant women vulnerable to the infection. Treating yeast infection during pregnancy is important to feel better.

Pregnant women cannot just take over the counter antifungal medicines because it could be harmful to your pregnancy and overall health. It is important to find a treatment that will work for you because if left untreated, the infection can be transmitted to your baby. In treating the infection, it is better to consult your doctor.

Lifestyle change, eating a well balanced diet, getting enough sleep, cutting down on food that feeds yeast like sugar and managing your stress are some of the natural treatments to get rid of the infection. In treating yeast infection during pregnancy, of course you have to choose a safe method that will get rid of the problem for good.

Diet For GERD - Get Great Taste With No Pain

2010-04-29T14:50:00.001-07:00

Are you looking for a diet for GERD? Are you tired of passing up all those great tasting foods to avoid the pain you'll experience later or worse yet eating them and suffering all night long? Do you sometimes wonder if the pain in your chest is GERD or something much worse? Then it's time you found a simple solution that will get rid of your GERD forever.

Why We Suffer From GERD

GERD occurs when your body fails to digest the food you eat and that food remains in your stomach only partially digested. Your body continues to pump more and more acid into you stomach, trying to digest the food. For a while it just sits there, irritating the stomach lining, but then it moves back up your esophagus burning as it goes.

And while GERD is uncomfortable and yes even painful, it's the unseen damage it causes that is really dangerous. Chronic GERD can do permanent damage to your stomach, esophagus, throat, mouth and vocal cords and has even been shown to lead to cancer.

GERD Treatments

When you go to the doctor they will usually treat GERD with drugs which decrease the acid in your stomach, such as the much talked about little purple pill. However reducing the stomach acid is really the last thing you want to do. The food there is failing to digest. You don't want less stomach acid, you want the right stomach acid.

But with GERD you need to get your food digested as quickly and completely as possible. The faster you can get that food out of your stomach and into the intestines the more nutrients you will be able to absorb and the less likely you'll be to have any form of digestion problem.

The Cure for Your GERD

Here is the cure for your GERD in its most basic form. Protein takes a specific type of stomach acid to digest. Carbohydrates take a different specific type of stomach acid to digest. The problem is, when these acids combine, they neutralize each other. So if you mix Proteins and Carbohydrates, your food simply sits there and doesn't digest. By properly combining your food, you can eat the foods you love, without the GERD you hate.

The Fastest Way to Lose Weight - How to Lose 10 Pounds Quickly and Permanently!

2010-04-26T07:35:00.001-07:00

If you have been seeking out the fastest way to lose weight then today I will introduce you to a unique, new way to lose weight that has never been done until now. It involves eating foods to stimulate your metabolism to burn more fat than usual. Best of all this diet doesn't fall into the pitfalls that other diets typically do as it is able to yield permanent results. Before I jump into this though here are two other things you can try to begin losing weight rapidly.

#1 - Matcha Tea: This is basically the elite version of green tea or what green tea should always be. It is the ground up green tea leaves powder in the whole form. Matcha is one of the strongest natural weight loss products and best of all the caffeine content in it is unrefined so it doesn't have the negative stimulation effects associated with other forms of caffeine. On top of all this it's an excellent anti-oxidant. A very effective way to lose 10 pounds quickly in addition to my other suggestions.

#2 - Bowel Cleanse: Every day drink a fiber shake made up of either ground up flax, chia or hemp seeds. These insoluble fibers achieve a scrubbing like action within the body which will help to quickly eliminate excess waste from the colon and with it the toxins and excess weight you carry around.

The diet I referred to in my introduction is known as the calorie shifting diet, it involves eating a diet that is open and doesn't limit you. You actually need to eat 4 complete meals every day to make it work and it utilizes the foods as stimulation for your metabolism to burn more fat than normal. It is the only diet in existence that can do this and best of all it has people losing 10 pounds in under 2 weeks permanently as when the diet ends your metabolism still goes strong burning off calories from everything you eat.

Ulcers - What Doctors Don't Want You To Know

2010-04-24T03:00:00.001-07:00

If you have an ulcer, you know the extreme pain and discomfort that can accompany them. Well, actually there are two types of ulcers. Some are almost completely harmless and you might not even now that you have one. The other kind, the bad kind, I would liken to more of an alien trying to break through your stomach cavity and breathe the free air of the world. If you have this kind, you might want to read this article.

So what makes me qualified to write about Ulcers. Well for starters I had one for 4 months, which is about typical although they are known to come and go for much longer. I recently received an endoscopy and was given a clean bill of health. I also worked in the healthcare field for about 2 years and know first hand how the healthcare field, especially in combination with pharmaceutical companies, treats your symptoms and not your problems.

With an Ulcer, a Doctor will most likely do two things: give you a proton pump inhibitor and an anti-biotic for something called H-Pylori, bacteria that cause 80 percent of Ulcers. This is a pretty stock treatment plan, but one that can do more harm then good if you're not careful. Let me dissect the problem for you.

First, proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec and Nexium are meant to cut off the acid production in your stomach. Sounds good if you want to stop the acid from eating away at your ulcer. But here's the rub... acid is good. Your body needs acid to break down food and stave off infection. By taking away the acid production your stomach feels better, since the acid isn't irritating your ulcer, but it's a slippery slope. Because you aren't producing acid, bacteria like H-pylori are allowed to breed more easily. Furthermore, your body gets accustomed to this PH level in your body. This is not good if you take these drugs for a long period of time. My mother has been taking Prilosec for the last five years and has no plans to get off (great consumer for the drug company, huh?). That's fine for her, but as a young person of 26, I do not want to have to take a drug for the next 6o years of my life. It doesn't seem right, does it? And if you do try to get off of the drug, your acid production will sky rocket since your body is used to having the proton pump blocker in place. You will have the worst heartburn you have ever experienced. So you can see how proton pump inhibitors can actually do more harm than good, but why are anti-biotic's bad?

Like I said before, most ulcers are caused by H. Pylori infection, bacteria that can cultivate in your stomach. So modern medicine usually prescribes an anti-biotic to clear up the infection. Now, it is true that you need to kill off the H. Pylori or bad bacteria, but with most anti-biotics they also kill off the good bacteria in your stomach as well. Bacteria that help you fight off infection. It's a little like chemotherapy for your stomach, it will kill the bad cells, but it will kill the good ones too.

Using anti-biotics also weakens your immune system instead of strengthening it. We are built around a drug society that teaches us to cure every cold or every infection with a drug; however that weakens are ability to fight off subsequent infections. Producing are own anti-bodies is essential to fighting off similar infections and diseases. In addition to the problems an individual has, collectively as a society we are being hurt as well. Those strains of bacteria are getting ever more drug resistant and dangerous. Now I'm not suggesting allowing your body to fight off gangrene, but just be a little more careful the next time your doctor prescribes something for the common cold.

So here is my take on the modern medicine paradigm, love it or hate it, we will all have to face up to it in the future. In my next blog I will show you how to cure an Ulcer without pharmaceutical drugs.

Avoid Catching and Spreading Germs When Traveling

2010-04-23T02:50:00.001-07:00

When you're planning your holiday travel (or travel at any time of year for that matter) it's worth knowing how to avoid catching and spreading germs, so consider the words of Lahey Clinic physician Dr. Mark Gendreau...

"The risk of contracting a contagious illness is heightened when we travel within any enclosed space, especially during the winter months, when most of the respiratory viruses thrive."

In fact, you may have seen the New England Journal of Medicine stories over the last few years on airline passengers who spread some pretty serious illnesses to fellow passengers.

The closed, compact space of an airplane cabin appears to be an excellent breeding ground for some pretty impressive germs.

Germs like E. coli, salmonella, coliform, rotavirus, cold virus and the highly publicized form of staph known as MRSA.

And while all of these can be picked up from any public place, not just the airport, the busier the location, the more likely many germs are also present.

Of course there are times when it isn't practical to avoid the germ factories we've come to know airplanes to be, or stay away from the crowds at stores or theaters.

So if you are travelling, or going to another of these crowded places, what can you do to stay healthy?

Here are five smart tips right from the experts...

1) Sit toward the front of the plane. "Pick a seat near the front, since ventilation systems on most commercial aircraft provide better air flow in the front of the aircraft," Dr. Gendreau advises. If you can afford it, first class or business class is the healthier option, as passengers aren't packed together as tightly as on other parts of the aircraft.

2) Don't drink airplane made coffee or tea, as the water used to make these drinks, though heated, comes from water tanks that even the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) admits aren't the cleanest. What's more, the water needs to be kept at a roiling boil for a full minute to kill dangerous pathogens and this doesn't happen when these beverages are prepared on a plane.

3) Sanitize your hands after leaving an airplane restroom (this goes for airport restrooms too) as the facilities on a plane are "among the germiest that you'll encounter almost anywhere," according to Charles Gerba, an environmental microbiologist at the University of Arizona. Known as "Dr. Germ", he notes that E. coli is always found on surfaces in airplane restrooms.

Washing with the water in the restroom isn't much help due to those germ filled water tanks, and the door handle you'll use on the way out is full of microscopic organisms that come from all those pairs of hands, washed and unwashed. A dose of hand sanitizer once you return to your seat is the best protection.

4) Sanitize, or wash, your hands after using an airport escalator (or any escalator for that matter) as tests have shown that these handrails are full of germs. To get an idea... spend five minutes counting the number of people who use that escalator, multiply by 12 and you'll have the number per hour. Every one of them is potentially carrying, and leaving, germs on the handrail just waiting to be picked up by you. Once you get off the escalator, as soon as you have an opportunity sanitize or wash your hands.

5) Sanitize, or wash, your hands after using an airport ATM (or any busy ATM), as these keypads are covered with germs - the busier the place, the more germs are probably on the machine. The smart move is to sanitize your hands after using one.

If you touch a potentially infected object and then rub your eye, nose or mouth, you've just given bacteria a free ride into your body.

The best advice for staying germ (and hopefully illness) free as your travel or shop at busy malls is a sensible regimen of hand washing.

This means soaping your hands well, scrubbing rigorously for at least 17 seconds, rinsing your hands under running hot water, pointing fingers downward and then drying using a clean paper towel. This will dramatically reduce the risk of catching or spreading germs.

Japanese Green Tea

2010-04-22T01:10:00.001-07:00

Today, Japan produces both loose leaf and powdered forms of green tea. Tea is mostly grown in Uji, Shizouka, Kagoshima regions and Kyoto Prefectures. Uji, just south of Kyoto, is the most famous tea-growing region in Japan. Even though it produces only 4 % of Japan's tea, most of the finest teas come from this region.

There are three main types produced in Japan: Gyokuro, Sencha and Matcha.

Gyokuro or "Jade Dew" is known to be the best quality green tea in Japan, thus sold at highest price. Tea bushes that are meant to produce Gyokuro are kept under 90% shaded conditions for two to three weeks before harvesting. Because of this, growth of leaves is slow and they turn to darker shade of green. These growing conditions encourage the production of Theanine in the leaves. The younger the leaves, the lesser the Caffeine content of the leaves. Only the tippy buds are used to produce the best Gyokuro. Both these facts are the reasons behind the delicate sweet taste of Gyokuro, which other green teas normally do not have.

Sencha is the most common type of Japanese tea and it is cheaper than Gyokuro. In contrast to Gyokuro, tea bushes that are meant to produce Sencha are exposed to sun light. This has a lightly astringent taste along with a slight sweetness. The best Sencha is known to be produced from the first crop. (From the harvest of April and May). Bancha is a class of Sencha. It is made from the Sencha bushes but from the harvest of summer and autumn. Some Bancha is made from the coarser leaves or twigs. It does not have the delicate sweetness of Sencha, but is valued for refreshing deep flavor with sweet aftertaste. It is cheaper, milder and known to be containing less caffeine than other teas.

Matcha green tea is a type of powdered tea and traditionally used for Japanese tea ceremonies. Tea bushes that are meant to produce Matcha are also grown in shade like Gyokura. Matcha has a bitter-sweet (sweet but with a hint of astringency) taste. But it is highly valued for having maximum green tea benefits as the body receives more chemicals from the talc like consistency (when brewed) of Matcha. There are two types of Matcha; Koicha(thick tea) and Usucha(thin tea). Koicha is produced from the leaves of older bushes and it has a milder taste. Because of this more powder can be added to have a thicker consistency, without having a bitter taste. Usucha is typical Matcha. Generally Koicha is more expensive than Usucha.

Genmaicha green tea is a mix of Bancha and roasted brown rice. Because of the addition of brown rice, the unique bitterness of green tea is enhanced further giving popcorn like taste.

Houjicha green tea is also a type of Bancha and made from baked tea leaves. It is slightly brown in color and has a refreshing savory taste. This is also known to have very low caffeine content as the baking process removes caffeine.

Natural Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

2010-04-20T00:35:00.001-07:00

Irritable Bowel Syndrome or simply IBS is something that inflicts discomforts with symptoms such as changes in bowel function, abdominal pain and bloating. Millions of people around the world are known to suffer form these symptoms of IBS. Fortunately though, these days there are many options available when it comes to IBS treatment. Among them, natural treatment of IBS is perhaps the most preferred by people.

One of the reasons why natural treatment of IBS is preferred by many is because it is not known to cause any major negative side effect. This may not be the case with other methods of treatment. Natural treatment procedures are also known to be effective in the long run, which is another reason which makes them the preferred mode of treatment.

Perhaps the most natural treatment of IBS lies in taking a healthy and balanced diet. The diet should be rich in fiber content. You should also take many servings of fruits and vegetable as part of your diet. Drinking plenty of water is another aspect that needs to be reiterated here.

Whole grains along with fruits and vegetables are known to be high in fiber and can therefore offer you relief from symptoms of constipation. They also help in preventing spasms of the colon region. Drinking water similarly helps in preventing dehydration as well as IBS related diarrhea. Drinking lots of water not only helps with IBS symptoms but also with improving your overall health.

Natural treatment of IBS with aloe vera is something that is finding a large number of takers these days. This plant is known to contain certain ingredients which can help in giving relief from IBS symptoms. Peppermint is another such natural product which helps in giving relief from IBS symptoms. Peppermint is in fact also known to be effective in many other digestive complaints too.

The key to beating IBS symptoms is to balancing the gut by introducing what are known as friendly bacteria. This can come in the form of various natural products. You can also find many natural IBS treatment coming in the form of capsules which can be purchased as over the counter medicine these days.

As part of natural treatment for IBS you should also know the foods items that you need to avoid eating too. Some of the food items that you need to avoid if you have any of the IBS symptoms are wheat, alcohol, diary products, caffeine, beans and fructose. Small changes in your dietary habits would in itself count among the many natural treatments available for IBS symptoms.

Different Types of Teas

2010-04-19T00:05:00.001-07:00

Tea has been enjoyed for centuries so it is no wonder that there are as many different types of teas as there are countries - and then some!Tea is produced in many countries with China and Japan being some of the most recognized. However it has also been produced for centuries in India, Taiwan, Ceylon, Africa and even the U.S.

China is responsible for a great many of the teas both green and black where the high elevations and climactic conditions are perfect for tea growing. However, the labor intensive nature of growing tea which is mostly hand harvested can make it difficult to say the least. One popular tea from China is called Dragon Well and has flat, shiny leaves. It has a nutty taste and has been consumed there for centuries but now is enjoyed around the globe. Jasmine Balls is another popular variety from China, named or the production process in which the leaves are rolled into balls and surrounded by Jasmine flowers.

One of the most popular Great Britain teas, Keemun tea has been a staple there for over 150 years, but actually has origins in China. Today, however it is more popular with the Brits than in it's own home country. When it comes to different types of teas, Japan has the highest production as it can yield 1500 pounds per acre. However, since most of the tea produced there is also consumed there it might not seem like they have high production rates. Most of the tea is grown in the Shizuoka region and about 98% of it stays in the country.

One of the most popular teas is Sench, a green tea variety, which is served throughout the country and is popular in many restaurants and can also be purchased in most stores for consumption at home. Another popular tea, Gyokuro, is quite high in caffeine. Matcha is a very fine tea - almost like a powder in consistency and was once reserved for ceremonies but is now consumed anytime someone wants a fine cup of tea.

India is another major producer with, perhaps, the most sought after teas both in it's own country and abroad. In fact, their tea is so popular that at times demand exceeds supply. This has forced India to import teas from Vietnam, Indonesia and Kenya to blend with their natively grown tea. They are famous for dozens of different kinds of tea, but perhaps the most well known is Darjeeling tea.

It wouldn't be fair to talk about different types of teas without mentioning some of the herbal teas which really aren't "true" tea at all since they do not come from the Camellia Sinensis plant. Be that as it may, folks still love to drink Red Rooibos tea which comes from South Africa as wells Yerba Mate tea which hails from South America. And don't forget about herbal teas - too numerous to mention here but, in fact, almost any herb or plant can be dried and steeped in hot water to make a delicious and healing tea.

GERD, Heartburn and Acid Reflux - Prescription Meds for Controlling Indigestion

2010-04-16T23:30:00.001-07:00

There is a multitude of prescription medicines available for treating acid
reflux and the subsequent symptoms. Though no cure has yet been found, diet
change, avoiding late night eating and using prescription medicines can minimize
the number of episodes. All prescription drugs have to be prescribed to
patients by a doctor after the doctor has made a diagnosis and knows what
symptoms need to be treated. However, if the prescribed medicines do not help
acid reflux symptoms, it is vital to seek further intervention by a doctor.
Other causes or problems may be at work. In some cases, the symptoms may be
because of GERD or an ulcer, and in certain cases may need corrective surgery.
Once some medications have been tried, the doctor in charge will order a series
of tests.

One such drug used to treat ulcers and acid reflux is called Rabeprazole. It
comes in pill form and is taken daily for up to eight weeks. This will stop
acid being regurgitated from the stomach. However, it does have side effects,
as with all drugs. People can experience changes in sleep patterns, and the
ability to work and other daily activities. Other side effects include
stomachaches, headaches, lowered appetite and restlessness. In order to benefit
from this drug it is essential to follow the daily prescription as designated by
a doctor. Missing one dose does not mean that you should make it up later, just
continue as directed. Taking an extra pill can result in very serious side
effects.

Nexium is another useful acid reflux drug. It helps to treat ulcers and GERD,
and similarly to Rabeprazole, must be taken exactly as prescribed, in a
responsible fashion. Other helpful medications also include Protonix, Prilosec
and Prevacid. These work by lowering the amount of stomach acid and thus reduce
the occurrences of acid reflux. They should all be taken as directed by a
doctor or according to the packages' instructions. Combining any of these drugs
at the same time can be a serious health risk and should be avoided.

In people who suffer more than two times per week with acid reflux, the
prescription medications can make life more bearable. All of them have to be
taken under the strict supervision of a doctor. If you think you may be
suffering from acid reflux then you should not take any medicine unless your
doctor has prescribed it to you. If you take medicines without your doctor's
recommendation then they may not help as the symptoms you are suffering may not
be an indicator of acid reflux, but symptoms of other underlying diseases or
illnesses. Only a doctor is qualified to diagnose acid reflux disease.

If you are just suffering from heartburn then there are various over the counter
drugs available. These can be tried a couple of times before getting advice
from a doctor. They may settle the symptoms suffered from acid reflux somewhat,
but they are no substitute for a healthy diet and proper exercise. Therefore,
in order to better manage acid reflux occurrences, it is essential for a
sufferer to combine life changes with doctor's recommended drugs. Most
importantly, only revert to prescription medicines when the suffering is
something you can no longer cope with and you are in need of urgent relief.

Product Review - "Green Max Matcha Milk"

Product Review of a Japanese instant beverage called "Green Max Matcha Milk".

How Did MRSA Come About?

2010-04-14T23:20:00.001-07:00

When man plays with nature, there are often unintended consequences. One needs to look no further than our efforts to treat certain health issues, which have led to the MRSA infection problem.

What is MRSA? The abbreviation stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacteria that is better known as "staph". It is not deadly and is treatable by many different types of antibiotics. With MRSA, it is the "methicillin-resistant" part of the name that is troubling. Essentially, it means that a strain of the staph bacteria has developed that is resistant to methicillin antibiotics, which are essentially all the usual antibiotics used to treat staph. Whereas staph infection kills almost nobody, MRSA kills over 19,000 people a year.

The question for most people is how did MRSA come to be? Well, every living organism evolves over time. The staph bacteria are not different. The bacteria are continually killed by MRSA bacteria until a slight variation of it survives. That bacteria then starts replicating and spreading. The big fear, of course, is MRSA reproduction explodes and we are suddenly overwhelmed with a bacteria that thrives in our hospitals and medical care facilities, yet is untreatable for the most part. This is why MRSA is considered a superbug and a potential huge problem.

In the view of many people, the MRSA threat did not need to become such a big problem but for one reason - us. How so? We viewed antibiotics as a magical cure for everything. If a little worked well, then a lot must work even better. This led to massive overuse of antibiotics, which sped up the process of staph evolving a resistant strain. Just how massive was and is the overuse? Consider the following:

Do you realize that the food you eat each day has antibiotics in it? We are specifically talking about the meat. Cows are injected with them as are chickens and anything that is mass produced. The rate of this type of antibiotic use is being increased as genetic manipulation produces animals that are larger, but less able to naturally fight off disease.

Perhaps the most maddening part of the problem is the performance of doctors. Simply put, they have acted poorly by prescribing antibiotics for just about everything regardless of whether the treatment was appropriate. For instance, many doctors prescribe antibiotics for the common cold despite the fact antibiotics do nothing to cure it!

MRSA is like the horses out of the barn. It is on the loose and there is nothing we can do to put it back in the barn. It is the super bug killer that nobody really wants to talk about, so nobody does until there is a breakout. In an age of terrorism, it is somewhat ironic that the bug that ultimately does the most damage to us is one we created not through some criminal intent, but our own stupidity.

Is Thrush Contagious?

2010-04-13T23:15:00.001-07:00

Thrush is caused by a bacteria called Candida. Candida is actually a type of yeast infection that can be found on various parts of your body such as your mouth (also known as oral thrush), vaginal, penis, skin or even digestive tract. Although yeast infections does not possess any danger to your health but the symptoms can persists for months or years if it is not treated properly.

So, is thrush contagious? Yes it is. Thrush is not only contagious but it can also spread to other parts of your body as well such as if you are suffering from oral thrush, it is quite likely for you to develop vaginal or penis yeast infection as well. It was because candida was passed down from the esophagus to that area and over time, other areas are also infected. Newborn babies or infants face greater risk in this problem because their immune system has not been fully developed and are still weak to resist infections.

Oral thrush symptoms such as:
- white or creamed colored curd or spots on the tongue, mouth, inside your cheeks, throat or tonsil.
- infected area may bleed when scraped.
- painful when swallowing food.
- bad breath

If the yeast infections happen vaginal or penis area, the more common symptoms will be itchiness, redness and swelling, whitish discharge, odor, burning sensation etc.

People who are suffering from vaginal or penis yeast infection should also avoid sexual intercourse by all means because this infection will also spread to your partner. If not, both of you may just pass the infection back and forth to each other.

Today, more and more people got their yeast infections treated with natural remedies because it is safe from drugs, cheap and effective. Moreover, It has totally eradicated the problems worried by chronic patients that the attack will come back again after weeks or months.

Natural Thrush Treatment For Permanent Relief

2010-04-12T23:10:00.001-07:00

If you have suffered from Thrush for a while now and would like to learn how to never suffer from it again I'm going to give you a list of Natural Thrush Treatments that can yield permanent relief. Thrush like any other fungal problem though has its origins in Candida if total relief is desired then elimination of Candida is critical.

Natural Thrush Treatment #1 - Daily Oregano Oil Drops - Every day you should be consuming at least 10 drops of high grade Oregano Oil such as Oreganol P73. This will directly kill the fungus in the mouth and provide some relief. However it is still not permanent relief as you need to keep using it in order to keep the thrush away.

Natural Thrush Treatment #2 - Tongue Scraper - This is a plastic or metal device that you can scrape your tongue with and directly pull out some of the yeast in your mouth if it isn't too irritated.

Natural Thrush Treatment #3 - Garlic Cloves - Take a raw garlic clove and hold it in your mouth for at least 30 minutes every day. This like Oregano oil will directly destroy an oral yeast infection.

Natural Thrush Treatment #4 - Clean Diet - By a clean diet I mean no sugar, alcohol or yeast. Eat approximately 75% green vegetables, preferably raw and minimal to zero grains as most will convert to sugars in the body and help Candida grow and thus allowing your Thrush to continue.

Natural Thrush Treatment #5 - Get to the root problem - This can involve eliminating parasites from the body, heavy metal detoxification, liver and kidney flushing and general avoidance or moldy environments. Only by eliminating these root causes can complete and total relief from Thrush and Candida be truly experienced. Otherwise it will only come back again and again. Your immune system needs to be rebalanced, a proper protocol that eliminates the root health problems in your life is the first step.

Diet and Yeast Infections - Which Foods Should Be Avoided to Relieve the Problem?

2010-04-11T23:05:00.001-07:00

By cutting back or eliminating sugars, you will assist in no longer feeding the yeast infection. Yeast flourishes in an environment of sugar. Yeast loves simple carbohydrates and the American diet is in love with these foods. Baked good made with yeast can also contribute to a yeast infection. You can substitute spelled flour products and these taste good for making sandwiches as well. Gluten products can make things worse for you and this includes whole wheat bread. Spelt flour can create less of a problem. You are better off having brown rice than wheat based products or pastas. Look out for beer and wine as well.

For some people, having dairy products can exacerbate a yeast infection. Lactose is in milk and this is responded to by the body as a sugar. Look out for fermented foods such as vinegar and some cheeses. If your immune system is weak the yeast spores can increase.

If things are sounding restrictive and you are a garlic lover, there is good news. Garlic is helpful for treating a yeast infection when taken in it's raw form or in capsules. When it is cooked, it won't harm you but allicin which is the anti-fungal agent is destroyed during cooking. Caprylic acid is also beneficial and is in some of the yeast prevention supplements at the health food stores. Restoring good bacteria through taking acidopholous is very helpful both for treatment and prevention. Though present in some yogurts, many in the supermarket do not have the live cultures. Other spices and foods that have medicinal qualities and are good for your system to fight candida include lemon, apple cider vinegar, cumin and onions.

Topical treatments for a vaginal yeast infection that include tea tree oil, garlic or yogurt can be effective but need to applied properly to reap the benefits and avoid any complications.

Ingredients: 1 tablespoons of green tea powder * 1 teaspoon honey 8 tablespoons of butter (about half a cup) 1 large egg 1 1/3 cups of flour 1 teaspoon of baking powder (mix into your flour) 1/2 cup light brown sugar ** * You may use loose tea leaves but the flavor would be different. ** You may add more sugar if you feel your tea is strong 1) Combine together softened butter with honey and sugar. Beat well together into a soft mixture. Add tea and continue mixing. (I suggest using an electric beater, using your hand will get tiring!) 2) Next add the flour with the baking powder and continue blending everything together, either by hand or a mixer. 3) Refrigerate the smooth batter for about an hour. 4) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. 5) Pam your cookie sheet and powder it as well. 6) Add flour onto a plate and grab a ball size amount of chilled dough. Cover the dough with powder and shape into a cookie. 7) Place onto the cookie sheet, and continue the process until all the dough is used 8) Bake the cookies for about 7-10 minutes or until a toothpick can come out clean when poked through the cookies. 9) Serve and enjoy! Cookies should look cake like.. almost like a Madeleine cookie. (sorry subtitles are slightly delayed)

Matcha Powder, 2 OZ TIN Overview

Delicate Matcha powder has a rich sweet taste and is naturally pure and healthy. It contains rich in vitamin C, E and many minerals. It also contains an important element of Polyphenols, which are best known for being effective antioxidants. Use Matcha as a "secret health ingredient" addition to your diet and skin care. Eating and drinking wisely will help to detoxify your body, protect against disease and boost the immune function. Although it is possible to use Matcha in a wide variety of recipes, it is important to remember that it originates from Japanese tea ceremony. Therefore, it is a very special type of tea.Grown under special conditions, the tea field is kept under 90% shade by using a black screen for 30 days at the end of April, giving the tea leaves a higher chlorophyll content and a lower tannin content. The softest freshest are picked carefully by hand during the night in May. The picked leaves are immediately sent to the farmers plant where they are washed with steam to spread chlorophyll and stop fermentation. After drying, the tea is kept under refrigeration, adding taste and flavor. At this time, the tea leaves are separated from the leaf veins, stems and twigs. The refined tea leaves then become Matcha, ground by a stone mill in the climate-controlled clean room. Finally the completed Matcha goes through a strict examination for color, aroma and taste.The easiest way to prepare Matcha is to place half a teaspoon Matcha into a teacup, pour hot water (180ºF) into the cup and mix for 20 seconds.

H Pylori Ulcer Clarified

2010-04-05T22:30:00.001-07:00

Size is not a factor in the world of bacteria. Many bacteria are responsible for making all of humanity sick, but it is one bacterium in particular that can lead to severe problems with the digestive system. Helicobacter pylori is a tough unicellular organism that packs a huge kick.

It is the primary cause of most ulcers found in the gastrointestinal system. It is something to definitely take seriously. How tough is this bacterium? Well, it is the only organism on the face of the Earth found to be capable of living and reproducing in the acidic environment of the stomach, until obliterated with antibiotics.

This bacterium is responsible for many ulcers such as a gastric, stomach, and a duodenal ulcer. What happens is that it wears down the lining of the intestine, duodenum, or stomach. As the acidity levels of your stomach rise, the digestive liquids begin to eat away at the lining.

After awhile, a hole appears in the lining and the ulcer is formed. Each time the stomach acid touches the gastric or duodenal ulcer it shoots pain through the person. Many of the symptoms of this disease flare-up resemble a heart attack or indigestion, so it is often not correctly diagnosed at first.

An pylori ulcer is diagnosed most of the time with an endoscopic procedure. A small scope is inserted into the rectum. Once in the desired location, a biopsy is performed and the tissue is then cultivated in a petri dish to tell whether or not the bacterium is present.

If the bacterium is present, then the doctors will usually treat the ulcer with what is known as a triple therapy, which includes amoxicillin, clarithromycin and a proton pump inhibitor such as pantoprazole. If the patient is allergic to penicillin, then the antibiotic will be substituted with metronidazole.

For many years no one knew the reason behind most gastric ulcers. They thought that a stomach ulcer was the direct result of stress or spicy foods. Thankfully, science has cleared that mystery up by discovering Helicobacter pylori.

Now patients know that their earlier misconceptions were false and a new realm of healing can begin. Just make sure that when you receive your medicine, that you finish the complete prescription. Not doing so will only further the development of bacterium that is resistant to available antibiotics.

Kirkland Signature Green Tea Matcha Blend 100% Japanese Tea / 100 Tea Bags/ 2 Review

Conveniently packaged in single bag packets. Loving the nylon bag and the little slit on the end of the string to hook on the edge of cup.

Taste is great--very smooth and not bitter. Like all green teas, it can easily be ruined by steeping too long or using water that is too hot. Best results are obtained by steeping for just 30-60 seconds and by using water at 175 degrees F (80 C). The proper temperature can be easily achieved by using one part room temperature water to three parts boiling water.

Overall a great value.

Medication For Graves Disease

2010-04-03T22:20:00.001-07:00

The medication for Graves Disease involves the taking in of antithyroid drugs. Antithyroid drugs reduce the production of the thyroid hormones. Usually, it takes two weeks after starting the medication for the thyroid hormone level of the blood to improve and will eventually normalize after six to eight more weeks.

However, this kind of treatment has its side effects. The common side effect of this medication for Graves Disease is a rash thus requiring the medication to be stopped once the rashes become severe. Other side effects include liver inflammation, joint swelling and even a very rare case of knocking down the function of the immune system. By the time the patients experience a sore throat, a fever or a bad infection, they are advised to go see their physicians to determine if it is necessary to stop taking in the drugs.

For pregnant women and nursing mothers, it can be a safe treatment but it is important that the doctor should monitor the taking in of these drugs by these women. The thyroid status of the baby should be well monitored as well to prevent any complications. Often, the disease improves as pregnancy reaches its peak but it can return by the postpartum period.

While the treatment may help the patients, this antithyroid medication for Graves Disease is only for the symptoms and not exactly for the root cause of it. Unfortunately, for most patients the disease will still return and they will have to go through the same treatment all over again.

Unlike taking in medication for Graves Disease [http://graves-disease-treatment.blogspot.com/2007/09/best-treatment-for-graves-disease.html], there are other methods known to us now which are safer and more effective compared to these antithryoid drugs. The most natural method is to get the right kind of diet. This process is well explained in some reading materials that are now available today. This treatment affectively reverses the condition of the patient and it does not only treat the symptoms but it treats the root cause of the disease.

The Battle Against Arteriosclerosis

2010-03-31T22:05:00.001-07:00

There are several diseases that affect the arteries but the most common among them is arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis occurs when the arteries become lined with plaque and the blood no longer flows through them as it once did. The arteries actually become more narrow and they are more brittle than they used to be.

There is a common misconception that arteriosclerosis is the same as atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is actually a condition that falls under the main group of arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a name for the plaque which thickens along the interior of the arteries.

The plaque buildup is made of calcium, cholesterol and fat which are actually in the blood, itself. Over time, the arteries become more narrow as the plaque hardens.

The doctor will take a look at several things to determine if you are suffering from arteriosclerosis. They will give you a complete physical, check to see if there is a slower pulse rate in a narrowed artery, check to see if a limb has a lowered blood pressure and look for a bulge in the stomach area or behind one of your knees. If none of these tests are conclusive they might look toward bloodwork, imaging scans, EKG or an ultrasound to make further discoveries.

The symptoms of arteriosclerosis are different based on which artery is being affected. Arteries in the calves are most prone to getting a blockage. Other, more serious, blockages can occur in arteries going to the brain, heart, kidneys and abdominal area.

When the blood flow is restricted to a certain degree the first symptom you will notice is pain. For example, if you have a blockage in your calf then you will notice that your leg is in a vast amount of pain. Getting up and exercising your legs is likely to make the pain even worse.

Men are the most likely victims of artersclerosis. Some of the symptoms that will alert you to this terrible event are: dizzy and suddenly weak, pain in the chest, heart attack, ED (erectile dysfunction), outer extremities receiving poor circulation and increased blood pressure.

In a case like this, using herbal remedies are no excuse for not seeing your doctor. Be sure to let the doctor know which herbs you are using, though. Hawthorn is a great herb if you are looking to give your cardiovascular system some extra protection. Passiflora incarnata is well known for it's ability to help lower the blood pressure and relax the blood vessels. Viburnum opulus is also a wonderful choice to give your cardiovascular system the added boost it needs. Ginkgo biloba is useful for stimulating the circulatory system and helping to reduce inflammation.

I cannot stress enough to go to the hospital immediately if you are feeling any of the symptoms that I described. Especially if you are in a high risk group. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

An Impressive Moringa Oleifera Project!

2010-03-29T21:55:00.001-07:00

This report contains valuable technical information and adds an important human face by reporting results of an evaluation of the project and interviews with people who have benefited from it.

A Fresh Look at Nutrition and Moringa

People have different nutritional requirements at different stages of their lives. Lactating women and weaned children ages 1-3 are especially vulnerable in areas where malnutrition is commonplace. This report lists the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for the major nutrients for children ages 1-3 and for lactating women and compares this to the amount of these nutrients present in moringa pods, moringa leaves and moringa leaf powder. Here are highlights from several tables. "For a child aged 1-3, a 100 g serving of fresh cooked leaves would provide all his daily requirements of calcium, about 75% of his iron and half his protein needs, as well as important amounts of potassium, B vitamins, copper and all the essential amino acids. As little as 20 grams of leaves would provide a child with all the vitamins A and C he needs."

"For pregnant and breast-feeding women, moringa leaves and pods can do much to preserve the mother's health and pass on strength to the fetus or nursing child. One 100 g portion of leaves could provide a woman with over a third of her daily need of calcium and give her important quantities of iron, protein, copper, sulfur and B-vitamins."

There are about 13 species of moringa trees in the family Moringaceae. They are native to India, the Red Sea area and/or parts of Africa including Madagascar. Moringa oleifera is the most widely known species, but other species deserve further research as to their uses. In this document, when we mention "moringa" we are referring to M. oleifera. All other species we refer to using the Latin name.

USES OF MORINGA LEAVES

The leaflets can be stripped from the feathery, fern-like leaves and used in any spinach recipe and are exceptionally nutritious. Very young plants can also be used as a tender vegetable. In many cultures the diet consists mainly of a starchy dish or porridge made from corn meal, cassava, millet or the like. Side dishes or "sauces" served with the starchy main dish are therefore very important nutritionally, often being the only source of extra protein, vitamins and minerals. Moringa leaves could easily be added to such sauces as a potherb or as dried herbs.

Ways to Make Your Chai Latte Tea

2010-03-19T06:45:00.001-07:00

Although you can easily find chai latte tea at the specialty café's and coffee shops it is easy to learn how to make it at home for yourself. But before you can do that you need to know how to make chai tea. It is a black tea that has added to it certain spices to make the particular flavor that has become so popular in the United States in recent years. Most often it is ginger root, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves that are added to give it taste but sometimes other spices are put in as well. You may have to experiment with this tea by trying different recipes before you find exactly one that matches your tastes.

Once you have made this tasty tea, loved worldwide by many before being discovered by North Americans, you will see how easy it is to turn it into a latte delight. The difference is really the way you mix in the steamed milk. Often those who make this treat at home make the milk using an espresso machine. It makes it foam just right. Remember to first make the chai tea strong; it makes for a better mixture this way. Depending on how you like your chai latte you even have the option of adding chocolate and making it mocha style. In this case when you add the steaming frosty cream you will also add cocoa powder. This will give it that incredible mocha taste.

This tea has become so popular in The United States that it no longer has to be made from tea leaves. It can be purchased in tea bags like any other tea you might like to drink. The flavors that you can make when you are turning your new favorite hot drink into a latte are numerous. There is vanilla, mocha, honey or even extra caffeine. Any of these can be made into chai latte tea by simply adding the flavoring before the steaming frothy milk is put in. This drink can be made to please the tastes of anyone who likes a strong tea.

Diet to Fight Cellulite - Stop Cellulite Forever

2010-03-15T06:10:00.001-07:00

Cellulite is hardened fat cells that have been trapped in the body's network of muscle tissue and fiber. This tissue and fiber is constantly flushed by cleansing fluids through the day and the result is a very ugly bloated look. Diet to fight cellulite should include extra intake in fruit, vegetables, wholegrain, and beans. Reduce your consumption of coffee, tea, sugar, salt, and alcohol. Also avoid as much as possible taking processed and refined food that contain excess fat, sugar, or salt such as chips, chocolate, etc.

Fast Is Not Easy - Fast is Not Permanent

There are many gyms, weight loss experts and therapists who claim to have the wonder diet to get rid of cellulite in the body. No matter what they claim, one must remember that cellulite cannot go away overnight. It seems that it has come to stay. It can be gotten rid of completely and permanently too with the right diet to fight cellulite coupled by the right amount of exercise in the right quantity.

A general rule is that you should give cellulite the number of months of exercise as the number of years you have taken to develop the deposits. Trying to take some shortcut route to get rid of the fat will lead you nowhere. Many people may succeed in riding themselves of the cellulite deposits but only to find it back where it was in the first place. Only this time it never took so long to develop.

Cellulite deposits can be lowered or done away with completely with the right nutrition through diet and the right amount of exercise. Such a routine will, over a period of time, definitely reduce the cellulite deposits by metabolizing the fat stores for energy. The cellulite volumes will be considerably reduced if not completely eliminated.

Diet Is the Best Way

Your diet should consist of a lot of fiber and whole grain foods. This provides the system with plenty of roughage needed for the system to clean itself. In addition to this fresh fruits and vegetables do not allow the formation of fat tissue. Consumption of alcohol in any form causes the cellulite deposits in the body to increase dramatically. It is the case with stress as well. . Many people take to eating when they are stressed out. Some meditation in such cases has proven to be a great help to reduce food intake for those wanting to reduce weight.

With all said and done, following a good fat free diet and drinking plenty of fluids in addition to walking briskly for at least thirty minutes every day will bring the results you are looking for. It is equally important to stick to this routine if you do not want the cellulite deposits to return.

The Miracle Of Essiac Tea

2010-03-08T02:45:00.001-08:00

To begin explaining what essiac is, we start at the roots. This tea originated in Ontario, Canada. Its name was derived from the name of a heroic Canadian nurse named Rene Caisse. So, simply put, essiac is Caisse spelled backwards! She was heroic in the sense that she never became rich selling this tea which she believed to have helped cancer patients. To add to that, she operated her Bracebridge cancer clinic, way back in 1930's, without asking for payments even if she has to pay a monthly rent of $1 per month.

The first treatments made using the brew in the early 1920's proved to be fruitful. In her autobiography, Rene described vividly how essiac tea came to be. It all started with a simple bath. One of Rene's nurses was bathing an old patient when Rene noticed that one of the old woman's breasts had a scar. Naturally inquisitive, she wanted to know why this is so. The old woman told her that 30 years back, she was in Northern Ontario with her spouse when she felt that her right breast had pain and swelling. She was then taken to some doctors in Toronto to have her condition checked. To their utter shock, she was told that it was cancer in its most advanced stage. It was imperative for that right breast to be removed but before undergoing the surgery, she consulted the medicine man who told her that he could help cure her. The man who was actually Indian, showed her what herbs he will use to make a tea drink.

Miraculously, that woman was already 80 years of age when Rene saw her. The old woman testified that she never suffered from the disease again. It was an amazing story and Rene would have just forgotten about it if not for her doctor friend who attested that the weeds used in making the tea could help cure cancer. Since then, Rene Caisse was an active advocate of the tea drink.

The 4 phenomenal herbs used in making the tea are:

1. Burdock root contains Vitamin A, selenium and Inulin that strengthens organs such as the spleen, liver and pancreas.

2. Slippery Elm inner bark primarily contains mucilage, which is an enemy to toxins. It targets problems in our circulatory system specifically the restoration of plasma and lymph.

3. Indian Rhubarb root has malic acid and rheine. This herb eases bowel movement by cleansing the intestines,

4. And Sheep sorrel that has silicon, and some vitamins and minerals. Just like the previous herbs, it aids in digestion and proper excretion.

Aside from helping the digestive, excretory and circulatory systems, this tea also helps the immune system (strengthens the 'soldiers' which fight harmful substances that enter our body).

Now that we know what we're going to drink and how this is going to give us health (or help restore it), let's get down to the modern essiac. Today, the trademark belongs to Resperin Canada Limited (Caisse sold the name to them for just a dollar). If the original 'recipe' originated from a medicine man, then today's essiac has only one recipe that is available for everyone to peruse. This is the formula that was concocted by Doctor Gary Glum and is authenticated by other authors:

6 1/2 cups of Burdock root (cut into the size of peas)

453 grams of Sheep Sorrel (in powder form)

113 grams of Slippery Elm bark (powdered)

28.35 grams of Turkey Rhubarb root (also in powder form)

Also, use 1 cup of the mixture for every 2 gallons of distilled water when brewing. It is very important to mix the ingredients well. How? This way:

1. First, mix the herbs thoroughly.

2. Pour in the cup of pure water into a pot.

3. Boil.

4. Put in the herbs and cover again.

5. Boil for 10 minutes.

6. Leave the pot overnight.

The next day:

7. Reheat the brewed ingredients but do not bring to a boil.

8. After reheating, let it stand just for a few minutes then transfer the brew into bottles. Do not pour in the sediments.

9. Let the bottles cool down before putting the lids.

10. Refrigerate only once opened.

Keep the brewed mixture in a dry place, tightly sealed, and make sure that it is not hit by direct sunlight. Air and light are known to have damaging effects on the brew.

Now, how do we drink it?

Take 30ml of the tea everyday but it needs to be diluted to 60ml of hot water. There should be no food intake before drinking the tea. It is preferably sipped before going to bed.

Now, knowing all these, how about a cup?

Matcha Green Tea Powder (1/2 lb.) Review

I love matcha -- as a tea, or mixed with sugar and then stirred into vanilla ice cream, or added to soy milk or regular milk and then sweetend and eaten with dry cereal -- and of course I like its health benefits.

As a loose tea, and a powder at that, I carefully open it over the sink -- otherwise matcha dust will find its way all over my kitchen. Making it into a tea is easy -- I don't have a whisk - I just use a fork to stir it into the hot water and then add sugar or honey (or nothing, if I want it bitter and not sweet).

Although too much of this does not give you the jitters as does too much coffee -- it definitely snaps your eyes open with intensity and jolts your brain awake.

(PS-- try making Matcha gelatin dessert. Yum!)
