Search within a specific website. If you know you want to look up Babe Ruth in Wikipedia, type in “site:wikipedia.org Babe Ruth” to go directly to the Wikipedia page about Babe Ruth. It works for any site, not just Wikipedia.
Search within a specific kind of site. If you know you only want results from an educational site, try “site:edu” or for a government site, try “site:gov” and your search term to get results only from sites with those web addresses.

High-protein diet predicament

2011-03-20T01:03:00.000-07:00

The high protein, low carbohydrate many people turn to weight loss could damage the long term, have a small study notes.

In a study of 17 obese men were British researchers have discovered a protein-heavy diet low in carbohydrates leads to specific changes in the large intestine to increase over time could be the risk of colon cancer.

The study looked only at short-term changes in some compounds, the byproducts of metabolism, and not the actual risk of disease. It is therefore not whether the diet high in protein increases the risk of bowel disease.

Advertising: The story continues below
But the results raise the possibility, the researchers report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

"Raised the problem for our studies, the risk of colorectal cancer by long-term compliance will be increased to diets that are rich in protein and low in carbohydrates, especially fiber," to senior researcher Dr Harry J Flint , University of Aberdeen, Reuters Health in an e-mail.

What does this mean for people who want to lose?

Diets relatively high in protein and low in carbohydrates has been shown that serious people to lose a few pounds. And stress, Flint and colleagues, obesity is considered an element of risk for a number of diseases, including cancer of the colon.

"People should not lose weight are not recommended because it provides important health benefits," said Flint.

However, he added, they must ensure that any weight loss plan to follow contains adequate amounts of fiber. People should also be aware, Flint said that a high protein intake in the months or years of negative effects in the colon might have.

The results will be on 17 obese men, each of the three regimes that followed in the short term, based on: a period of four weeks protein diet with moderate amounts of carbohydrates, a menu plan this week designed to keep their weight and a four-week diet rich in protein carbohydrates.

The first diet containing approximately 360 grams of carbs per day, usually offered cereal, toast and eggs allowed for breakfast, a sandwich and salad for lunch, and chicken, fish and soy with pasta for dinner.

The low-carbohydrate diet - which allows only 22 grams of carbs per day - was the rule of eggs and bacon breakfast, lunch and dinner and heavy in meat, poultry and fish and some vegetables and cheese.

The moderate-carbohydrate diet allows 181 grams of carbohydrates per day. Both protein-rich foods contain less than 140 grams of protein per day.

analyzed at the end of each diet period regarded as stool samples from the Flint team men at certain metabolic byproducts.

On average, the study said, when men were on the high protein diet, they experienced several substances such as N-nitroso compounds, and some other metabolites, which were brought to cancer.

And if, on the high-protein diet low in carbohydrates, they had reduced concentrations of compounds derived from fiber thought to protect against cancer.

Exactly what these changes mean for the long-term health of a person is unclear. But Flint said the findings highlight that people should be careful, too much protein and not enough fiber for an extended period of time.

People trying to lose weight, he and his colleagues say, should certainly enough fiber in their diet. In general, experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day - even if you do not know if that is enough for someone on a high protein diet for weight reduction.

Flint and his colleagues are currently investigating this issue.

a correct and really Simplified method of green tea Preparation

2011-03-20T00:53:00.001-07:00

Unfortunately, not all types of tea produced using the same method. In preparation for top grades of green tea such as Sencha or Gyoruku, it is important that the water boils for a few moments to leave and then let it cool slightly before you pour it slowly over the leaves. This is in contrast to the preparation of the black teas like Darjeeling, Ceylon and Assam teas, which are soaked in boiling water.
If you do not allow that to cool the water, it will spoil the tea leaves and the tea taste bitter. As a rule of thumb, the better the quality of the tea, the lower the water has to be.Use for standard-quality green tea, water to a temperature of 90 ° C (194 ° F), has the highest quality green tea, use water with a temperature of 70 ° C (158 ° F) added. Use an electric kettle boil the water, never a microwave to boil the water.
Use a simple thermometer to measure the water temperature before you pour it over the tea leaves. If you do not have a thermometer, let the water cool for 3 minutes at 90 ° C (194 ° F) or 7 minutes to 70 ° C (158 ° F) reach. Of course this is only a rule of thumb, but it works quite well when the ambient temperature is about 20-25 ° C.
Another important factor is the quality of the water you use. Tap water, that too much lime (calcium carbonate), or containing chlorinated should be avoided in any case. Use filtered water or still water instead.
You will get even better results when the brewing pot warm before you pour the water into it, otherwise the water will cool down too quickly, so that the leaves sencha or Gyoruku brewery at a temperature that is less than optimal. After the infusion time by pouring the tea into preheated cups and enjoy a delicious cup of this wonderful drink. If the infusion time is not written on the packet tea, the staff of the tea shop to ask for the appropriate infusion time when there was a distinction between green tea.
Tip: Do not throw away the tea leaves after the first breweries as they can be used to make tea to be at least one more time! But for a second infusion, let the tea brew for three quarters of the time of the first breweries.
If this old method of green tea preparation too complex or too time consuming and you really are a tea lover, consider the Breville Tea, which will facilitate the real green tea manufacturing process.

Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again --- by Xu Zhimo

2011-03-18T23:46:00.000-07:00

Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.

The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.

The floating heart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I would be a water plant!

That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?

To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.

But I cannot sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects heap silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!

Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away
.

The Really Work Weird Diet Tricks

2011-03-18T20:43:00.000-07:00

Step 1: Wear tight clothes

Wear tight clothes when you eat — especially if you’re in the habit of changing into something roomy when you come home from work. The snugness is a tactile reminder not to overindulge.

Step 2: Pay cash

Pay cash for food, whether you’re at the grocery store or in a restaurant. People who use cash think more carefully about what they’re purchasing, and that extends to the food choices they make.

Step 3: Highlight fruit and veggies

Put colorful fruits and vegetables in pretty bowls and stands in well-lit areas; you’ll eat more of them if they’re beautifully and conspicuously displayed.

Conversely, place junk food in front of a mirror, and you’ll be less likely to eat it.

Step 4: Use the rule of two

Use the “rule of 2” at a buffet: go as many times as you want, but limit yourself to no more than 2 types of food per trip. Studies have shown that variety makes us eat more.

Step 5: Eat in peace

Eat some meals alone, in silence. People eat more in groups, and they eat more when the TV is on. Dining solo, with no distractions, forces you to focus on the food, which helps you recognize when you’ve had enough.

People who were given a tall, thin glass poured themselves 74 percent less of a beverage than those sipping out of a short, squat glass.
