Myth or Fact: Brown Sugar is Better than White Sugar!

www.fitday.com

White sugar and brown sugar are two of the most commonly used types. Many people assume that brown sugar is more nutritional than white sugar, simply because the brown version of certain kinds of food, such as rice, bread and pasta, are more beneficial to health than the white version.

The Difference between White and Brown Sugar

Raw sugar comes from sugar cane, and it is a little brown when it is formed. It appears brownish because of the presence of molasses. Manufacturers of sugar will bleach the sugar to remove the molasses, and this makes the sugar white. Brown sugar is produced by adding molasses back to the white sugar. The difference in taste between white and brown sugar is actually the taste of molasses, which will be milder in light brown sugar and stronger in darker brown sugar. Compared to white sugar, brown sugar has a sweeter and richer taste. It also has a moist and clumpy texture, which is different from the dry and grainy texture of white sugar.

Foods and drinks that help cleanse the body!

by Alicia French

During the time of year when everyone falls back on the healthy wagon and promises to eat better, lose weight and exercise more, it seems fitting to give your body an extra boost when it comes to getting all the built up toxins out of our bodies.

Give your body a boost

Our bodies have a pretty impressive ability to clear out the junk, but environmental toxins, excess alcohol, caffeine and processed foods can still take a toll. When the body's cleansing processes are overwhelmed, it often results in fatigue, brain fog, a depressed immune system or even some serious diseases.

Trimming the fat

If you are trying to lose weight, cleansing is even more important. Many of the toxins we are exposed to daily through the food we eat and the air we breathe are stored away in our fat. This is our body's way of protecting itself from the many elements that can cause anything from fatigue to cancer. When you start losing weight, you are essentially breaking up the fat and releasing the toxins right back into your blood stream. A good cleanse can even help you lose weight more efficiently.

10 Best Foods To Make You Happier & Keep You Healthy!

by Gregory Arden

We’ve all had a rotten mood. For many people, eating food (such as junk food) can make their health worse; which only worsens their mood.

But what if there was food that was healthy, and could also act as a natural anti-depressant? There are foods that meet those qualifications! Here are the 10 best foods, that will make you happy, and keep you healthy:

1. Coconuts

Despite the fact that coconuts are most commonly found in unhealthy desserts, coconuts do contain medium-chain triglycerides. Medium-chain triglycerides are special fats that fuel better moods and promote general brain-health. Note: Coconut milk, on the other hand, is actually pretty unhealthy. Stick with unsweetened coconut shavings.

2. Eggs

Eggs contain moderate-to-large amounts of Zinc, Vitamin B, Iodine, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and protein. Not only can eggs keep you energized, they can also keep you full (stomach-wise) for longer! A 2008 study in the “International Journal of Obesity” found that people who had eggs for breakfast lost considerably more weight, compared to those who ate bagels for breakfast.

5 Great Reasons to Study Human Development !

By Kendra Cherry, About.com Guide

Are you thinking about taking a class in development? Whether you want to take just one course or devote your entire education to studying the topic, there are plenty of great reasons to learn more about human development. If you are majoring in psychology, education or a medical field, some background knowledge of how people grow and change throughout life is essential. In addition to gaining a better understanding of others, studying human development can also provide greater personal insight.

1. Studying development helps you better understand yourself

We were all kids once, so learning more about how children develop and grow can provide additional insight in the person you have become. Studying development can also help you learn more about your future. By understanding the aging process, you'll be better prepared when you face issues associated with growing older.

How to Improve Your Memory- tip #2 - Make time for friends and fun!

When you think of ways to improve memory, do you think of “serious” activities such as wrestling with the New York Times crossword puzzle or mastering chess strategy, or do more lighthearted pastimes—hanging out with friends or enjoying a funny movie—come to mind? If you’re like most of us, it’s probably the former. But countless studies show that a life that’s full of friends and fun comes with cognitive benefits.

Healthy relationships: the ultimate memory booster?

Humans are highly social animals. We’re not meant to survive, let alone thrive, in isolation. Relationships stimulate our brains—in fact, interacting with others may be the best kind of brain exercise.

Research shows that having meaningful relationships and a strong support system are vital not only to emotional health, but also to brain health. In one recent study from the Harvard School of Public Health, for example, researchers found that people with the most active social lives had the slowest rate of memory decline.

How to Improve Your Memory- tip #1 - Don't skimp on exercise or sleep

www.helpguide.org

A strong memory depends on the health and vitality of your brain. Whether you're a student studying for final exams, a working professional interested in doing all you can to stay mentally sharp, or a senior looking to preserve and enhance your grey matter as you age, there are lots of things you can do to improve your memory and mental performance.

Harnessing the power of your brain

They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old adage simply isn’t true. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change—even into old age. This ability is known as neuroplasticity. With the right stimulation, your brain can form new neural pathways, alter existing connections, and adapt and react in ever-changing ways.

The brain’s incredible ability to reshape itself holds true when it comes to learning and memory. You can harness the natural power of neuroplasticity to increase your cognitive abilities, enhance your ability to learn new information, and improve your memory.

A SECRET OF ANTI-AGING

By Stephanie Relfe & Michael Relfe

Anti aging is possible.  The body is designed to heal and repair itself with the aid of proper nutrition. The body requires two vital materials to complete this - energy and raw material. These two requirements are needed to maintain the cell's proper functions. The body is made up of cells and all cells are living. All living things need food. Each cell needs the proper food to keep it strong. Cells die and replace themselves at various intervals. To understand anti-aging, understand that when a cell replaces itself it has three options that it can replace itself with:

1.  A cell may replace itself with a weaker cell each time.  A cell will do this if it hasn't had the right nutritional foods available to it.  This process is called degeneration.

2.  A cell can replace itself with the same strength cell.  This means the body doesn't improve.  That is, you have a chronic condition.

4 Reasons Why You Need To Take Cold Showers!

By: Fredrik P.

A friend of mine is 45 years old, has no gray hair, and very good skin for her age. I wanted to find out if there was anything in her routine that could have been a reason for such youthful looks for her age (all without any surgery by the way!). Leaving genetics out of the equation for a moment, the one interesting thing that popped up was the fact that she takes a cold shower every morning. So I did a little research about the subject and found 4 main benefits that you gain by taking cold showers.

Now when I say cold shower, I want to clarify exactly what I mean by that. Taking a full cold shower, meaning no hot or warm or lukewarm water at all, is borderline torture! Especially in the cold winter months (I am from Montreal, and it is VERY cold here!). Besides, there are many benefits to taking a warm shower, the primary one being that it feels really good! But seriously, what I mean in this context, is the practice of starting with a warm shower, and ending the last few minutes with cool to cold water. Here are the benefits that you gain by incorporating a cold shower into your shower routine:

Health Guide :Anti-Aging Cures: The Example of Lecithin

To stay young, take lecithin.
Besides reducing the cholesterol level in the blood, there is mounting scientific evidence to
suggest several other benefits from lecithin. It has been suggested that its intake in sufficient
amounts can help rebuild those cells and organs which need it. Lecithin helps to maintain their
health once they are repaired. It may mean that a deficiency of lecithin in the diet may be one of
the causes of ageing and that its use may be beneficial in retarding the ageing process.
Edward R. Hewith in his book, The Years Between 75 and 90 says," with older people the fats
remain high in the blood for from five to seven hours and in some cases as long as 20 hours,
thus giving the fats more time to become located in the tissues. If lecithin is given to older people
before a fatty meal, it has been found that the fats in the blood return to normal in a short time, in
the same way they do in younger people."

Camels' milk could become the latest super food to hit the shelves of health food shops and upmarket retailers.

The United Nations is calling for the milk, which is rich in vitamins B and C and has 10 times more iron than cow's milk, to be sold to the West.

Camels' milk, which is slightly saltier than traditional milk, is drunk widely across the Arab world and is well suited to cheese production.

Harrods and Fortnum & Mason are said to be interested in the product.

As well as its high mineral and vitamin content, research has suggested that antibodies in camels' milk can help fight diseases like cancer, HIV/Aids Alzheimer's and hepatitis C.

And work is on-going to see whether it can have a role in reducing the effects of diabetes and heart disease.

6 Reasons to Drink Water

It's no magic bullet, but the benefits of water are many.

Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD

Americans seem to carry bottled water everywhere they go these days. In fact, it has become the second most popular drink (behind soft drinks). But water lovers got a jolt recently when we heard that a new report had found that the benefits of drinking water may have been oversold. Apparently, the old suggestion to drink eight glasses a day was nothing more than a guideline, not based on scientific evidence.

But don't put your water bottle or glass down just yet. While we may not need eight glasses, there are plenty of reasons to drink water. In fact, drinking water (either plain or in the form of other fluids or foods) is essential to your health.

"Think of water as a nutrient your body needs that is present in liquids, plain water, and foods. All of these are essential daily to replace the large amounts of water lost each day," says Joan Koelemay, RD, dietitian for the Beverage Institute, an industry group.

Kaiser Permanente nephrologist Steven Guest, MD, agrees: "Fluid losses occur continuously, from skin evaporation, breathing, urine, and stool, and these losses must be replaced daily for good health," he says.

When your water intake does not equal your output, you can become dehydrated. Fluid losses are accentuated in warmer climates, during strenuous exercise, in high altitudes, and in older adults, whose sense of thirst may not be as sharp.

Here are six reasons to make sure you're drinking enough water or other fluids every day:

أحمد الصاوي - مدير تحرير جريدة الشروق

شخص واحد يتآمر على الرئيس، ولا تذكره لائحة الاتهامات، ولا الإشارات الساخنة التى تصدر عن الرئاسة.

شخص واحد يتمنى الرئيس لو نجح فى إخراسه إلى الأبد.

شخص واحد يطارد الرئيس فى كل موقف وعند اتخاذ أى قرار، لا يكتفى بمعارضة المراسيم الرئاسية، لكنه يظهر الرئيس متناقضا، متحولا، متراجعا عن مبادئه من أجل السلطة، متماهيا ومتماشيا مع من كان قبله.

كان عمر بن الخطاب يجهر بكلمته المأثورة: «ليت أم عمر لم تلد عمرا»، كان يفعلها بقدر قاسٍ من حساب النفس، ويشفق عليها ما تحملت من أمانة ومسئولية، يتمنى لو لم يولد من الأساس، حتى لا يحاسب عن بغلة بغداد، وجوع امرأة فى المدينة، وقبطى اعتدى عليه ابن الأكرمين فى مصر.

والأرجح أن محمد مرسى يتمنى مع نفسه: «ليت أم محمد مرسى الرئيس.. لم تلد محمد مرسى النائب والقيادى الإخوانى»، ويلحقها بأمنية جديدة: «ليت الثلاثى جواد كريم وشاد هيرلى وستيف شين، لم يخترعوا يوتيوب».
