<span style="font-size: large;">La pollution sonore est liée aux bruits qui a la longue affectent négativement notre sante( l'alteration de nos capacités auditives, perte progressive de l'ouïe, pression artérielle, etc...). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Les problèmes de sante lies aux bruits sont multiples, et il faudrait tenir compte de toutes les formes de nuisances qui nous affectent volontairement et involontairement.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dans la formes de nuisances, il ya celles qui sont routières, aérienne, ferroviaires, et/ou celles liées aux constructions, machineries, usines, etc....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Comme consequence sur la sante, on peut énumérer:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">la diminution des capacités auditives qui peuvent selon l'OMS survenir a la suite des expositions aux armes a feu ou a une musique tonitruante et constante.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Les acouphènes qui en general surviennent a la suite d'exposition aux elements mentionnes antérieurement. Les acouphènes sont des bruits parasites que l'individu entend sans qu'ils n'existent en réalité. Ils peuvent se manifester sous la forme de sifflements, de bourdonnements, ou de cliquetis.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">le stress déclenché par des reactions physiologiques tels l'adrenaline, le cortisol, et dans certains cas la noradrénaline(cette hormone augmente la rythmique cardiaque et la pression artérielle); les risques lies a la surdité.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">les maladies cardiovasculaires qui peuvent survenir a la suite des stress intenses. Les effets reconnus sont par example l’infarctus du myocarde( lie aux bruits routiers), et l'augmentation de la tension artérielle chez les moins ages. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Perturbations sur la qualité et la durée du sommeil; les consequences peuvent affecter la structure du sommeil en altérant ses phases et sa profondeur. Ceci pourrait se manifester sous la forme d'un sommeil agite, peu réparateur, réveil frequents, et prolonges, fatigue, sensation de quelque chose d’inachevée, etc.... Les lourdeurs de la tete et les migraines sont également a considérer. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Le bruit peut également avoir des effets sur l’économie avec la depreciation foncière. Le bruit est un des facteurs d'evaluation d'achat des propriétés. Evidemment celles exposées aux bruits sonores, ou situées dans des zones ou les bruits sont constants et non filtres perdront de la valeur en comparaison avec celles situées dans des zones tranquilles. </span><br />

<b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">How does it relate to Diabetes type I and II?</span></i></b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The medical definition of insulin is a natural hormone made by the pancreas to control the level of the sugar glucose. Insulin is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas organ. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Insulin resistance occurs when the beta cells do not use insulin effectively. When these cells do not absorb glucose consistently, this causes a buildup of sugar in the blood. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">When there is a degeneration of these beta cells- where the body is unable to make enough insulin on its own- type I diabetes surfaces. An individual with type I diabetes must have a supplementation of insulin through external sources like injections. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">In type II the most common form of diabetes, the beta cells make insulin but cells do not respond normally as they should. This result in insulin resistance. The reduction of the concentration of glucose in the blood can prevent or minimize long terms complications of diabetes, including damage to blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and amputations. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Diabetes is classified among chronic diseases( diseases that are persistent and for which, the body never really or fully recovers). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Should we let fatality beat us when nature has provided us with important nutrients to overcome these conditions? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">By adopting healthy lifestyles strategies, you can reduce your chance of developing insulin resistance.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Insulin resistance doesn't present any symptoms if diabetes hasn't developed. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However, high levels of insulin in the blood can be detrimental to your health with a risk to develop heart diseases...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Insulin resistance is very much associated with type II diabetes. It simply means that your body does not use insulin properly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Some symptoms associated with diabetes are: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Increased thirst and hunger</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">blurry vision</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">tiredness</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">frequent need to urinate</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">cut and wound that does not heal</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">From here where do we go?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Getting a good sleep can boost insulin sensitivity. Evidence suggests that sleep restriction affects glucose production, which in return indicates hepatic insulin resistance(insulin sensibility in muscle and in the liver)</span><span style="font-size: large;">. The good news is that catching up on sleep deprivation can reverse the effects of insulin resistance.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Physical exercise can never be overemphasized for it's the way of staying healthy. Physical activity stimulates blood flow through muscles for storage, and increase insulin sensitivity( among people with or without diabetes). Aerobic and resistance training can help increase insulin sensitivity, but combining them in your workouts seems most effective(Healthline)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Stress reduction must definitely be on everyone agenda, because it's all around us. It impairs with our body ability to regulate blood sugar. Stress causes our body to fight against itself, and this causes the production of cortisol or glucagon. These stress hormones break down glycogen( a form of stored sugar) into glucose to be used as a quick source of energy. Unfortunately, the quick break down of sugar penetrate into our bloodstream and keep the blood sugar high if the stress becomes permanent. Stress relief can include physical exercise, great sleep to repair mental functions, and healthy diet( I will discuss these in another post). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Shading few pounds off can certainly help reducing insulin resistance, especially in the belly area. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Adopt a healthy diet of more soluble fiber. Soluble fiber </span><span style="font-size: large;">contributes to stabilize blood sugar which slows the absorption of glucose into the blood.This in return reduces the likelihood of diabetes. Soluble fiber can include lentils, peas, beans, oat bran, berries family, etc....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Any foods rich in antioxidants are helpful in reducing insulin resistance in our system. Fruits and vegetables produce valuable nutritious effects, especially colorful fruits known for their neutralizing effects against free radicals and harmful inflammation throughout the body. However, we must be careful when choosing which type of fruits to eat because of the high concentration of sugar in some... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> Cinnamon-</span><span style="font-size: large;">1 gram of cinnamon/day improves the blood glucose in people with type diabetes. It reduces the effects of bad cholesterol or LDL and triglycerides- and improve the good cholesterol or HDL. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not a fan of green tea. However new evidence suggests that drinking green tea improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bay leaves and thyme appear to improve insulin receptor function and regulate blood sugar. People who are at risk of having diabetes or those who are already diabetic may see some improvement in their condition ounce they regularly consume bay and thyme. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Try apple cider vinegar which stands as a cleanser ingredient in addition to many other useful tips. It appears to delay food release into intestines giving more time to the body to absorb sugar into the bloodstream.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Eating small portions of carb throughout the day facilitates insulin activity. Most carbs convert into sugar and are transfer into our blood. Insulin is released by the pancreas to transfer the sugar from the blood into the cells. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Avoid trans fats- they provide no health other than exposing the body to many other diseases. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Elimination of sugar especially the artificial ones is critically important to avoid insulin resistance. Some natural sugar found in some fruits worth precaution, but now this will depend on your physician prescription. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The following choices of foods are beneficial for insulin sensitivity:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>go high in proteins </b>(fish, lean meat, grass-fed meat, and poultry are recommended)</span><span style="font-size: large;"> and reduce carbs intake; moderate carbs diet improve insulin sensibility while high carbs intake trigger high glycemic response.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Adding vinegar and other acids </b>like lemon, lime, apple cider, </span><span style="font-size: large;">enhance insulin sensitivity by improving the body's capacity to store carbs as muscle glycogen.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>You can also improve your insulin sensitivity</b> by getting enough magnesium; magnesium is sensitive to insulin by having a positive effect on insulin receptors in each cell of the body. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Choose non-starchy vegetables over starchy vegetables</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">How often must we change our bed sheets???? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Regardless of how many times we clean our sheets, bacteria multiplication is inevitable. How often should we change our bed sheet? A survey in Great Britain in 2014 revealed that 35% of people changed their bed sheets every 2 weeks, 8% every 3 months, and 10% once a month. Others would change their sheets maybe every 2 months...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Clean your bed sheets regularly to destroy bacteria!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In order to do so, you need to evaluate your patterns of behavior in the bedroom. Sleeping with your pajama is different from sharing the bed and sleeping naked. If you take a shower- before going to bed- and wear a pyjama, the recommendation is to change your bed sheets every 2 weeks( PasseportSante.net).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Some people have night sweats, especially those who have certain conditions( menopause, hormone changes, fever, infections, neurological disorders, cancers, medications, or just body heat....). The perspiration environment is very favorable to mites multiplication. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Medical scientists explain that mites feed up of dead skins lost at night during sleep.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">In light of this, changing bed sheets regularly allows to maintain a clean and safe environment and get rid of mites. Mites evolve in muggy and humid environment. Bacteria can cause diseases like asthma, eczema, allergies, rhinitis, etc....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> What temperature should we wash our bed sheets to make sure that mites disappear completely?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">It is recommended to wash sheets at 140 degrees Fahrenheit especially for those sensitive skins. That way we can ensure complete destruction of mites. You must buy sheets that can resist the heat. Bed sheets in cotton are preferable because they resist perspiration. Additionally sleeping in an environment cool and dry will help reduce the multiplication of mites.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Duvets and pillows </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Should be washed few times a year. Duvets can be replaced every 5 years, and pillows more often 2 or 3 years. Duvets can carry live and dead mites, flaky skins and fungus, which are responsible for certain allergies like conjunctivitis, rhinitis, etc... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Underwears</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How often should we wash our underwears....??? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After every single wear without exception, we must wash our underwear and replace them yearly. We are all exposed to bacteria, fungus, mycosis, and urinary tract infections. Machine wash, bleach detergent, and hot water do a good job in getting rid of potential foreigners. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Pyjama</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The recent survey indicated that young men between 18 and 30 years of age would wear the same pyjama for 13 nights and young women 17 nights before cleaning them. Pyjamas are in direct contact with the skin- and we lose skin cells, filled with microorganisms( Bloomfield research). These organisms are benign until they are placed in conditions where they become a threat( E-coli bacteria transferring from the urinary tract to bowel causing cystitis). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They must be washed regularly, at least every night after usage. I'm guilty of that also. I don't wash mine every night!!!! The advice is to air or tumble dry your kitchen clothes </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Bath towels also absorb dead skin cells and natural bacteria from our bodies. Towels kept in humidity conditions, increase the likelihood of bacteria to thrive. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Carbohydrates are good sources of energy and essentials nutrients, and can be found in the following:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">dairy products</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">fruits</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">vegetables</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">grains</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">nuts</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">legumes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">seeds</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">potatoes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">plantain</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yucca/Cassava</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yam</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cocoyam</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">sweets</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Carbohydrates are made of 3 components: fiber, starch, and sugar. Fiber and starch are complex carbs, and sugar is a simple carb. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Complex Carbohydrates </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The difference between complex and simple carbohydrates is in how quickly each of them is digested and absorbed in our mainstream- and how their chemical structures are formed. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Complex carbohydrates are bounded by longer saccharides chains, thus taking much longer to break down and keeping our stomach fuller. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Simple carbohydrates( also called sugars including the natural sugar found in milk, fruits, and vegetables) on the other hand can break down more quickly because they are only bounded by one molecule. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Vitamin B12 (as mentioned earlier) deficiency is related to neurological and cognitive disorders, stunted growth, congenital malformations, and anemia.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Beans are full of fiber; high in antioxidants; provide complete proteins when eaten with bread; rich in iron, copper, magnesium, and zinc. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nuts provide a generous supply of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and good fats(monounsaturated fats).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Grains also include fiber, vitamins B( niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, and folate), and of course minerals. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Seeds are rich in fiber, and monounsaturated fats( very essential in lowering the bad cholesterol while enhancing your heart functioning). Seeds are equally loaded with vitamins, proteins, and minerals.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They both facilitate digestion, absorption of nutrients, prevention of diseases, and weight loss. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Insoluble fiber speeds food through the digestive system and prevents constipation. It doesn't dissolve in water. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Soluble fiber </span><span style="font-size: large;">attracts water and becomes gel in the intestine. It also contributes to stabilize blood sugar which slows the absorption of glucose into the blood- which in return reduce the likelihood of certain conditions like diabetes). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Health benefits of insoluble fiber include </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">weight loss by helping stay off hunger for a longer period of time; </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">improving the digestive system by reducing constipation and bowel related issues-and hemorrhoids.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Health benefits of soluble fiber also include the protection of heart. Soluble fiber binds to cholesterol parts and removes them from our bodies /- thus reducing the level of cholesterol in our system and risks related to cardiopathies. Soluble fiber allows a slower absorption of glucose into the blood, which in turn balances the sugar level so that it doesn't rise too drastically. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In a small bowl, combine chopped onion, fresh chopped celery, tomato(optional), lemon, olive oil, a pinch of black pepper and -mayonnaise( can be added if you have a preference for its taste).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">In a large bowl, combine cooked shrimps( you can buy the cooked ones or cook the fresh ones with salt or knorr Maggi for few minutes). I do prefer the fresh uncooked shrimp because it's natural and unprocessed. You may want to add cayenne pepper or jalapeno(optional). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Combine all the ingredients together; add cilantro and/or dried parsley in lieu of dried celery if you are using fresh chopped ones; spinach leaves can be added too; gently toss and serve your salad with french toasted bread or regular bread slice. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Now let's review the health benefits of avocado with shrimp</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">While avocados have high-fat content, they are a great source of potassium and folate- very versatile and can be transformed in many dishes( puree, salad, entrees, desserts, breakfast with bread, guacamole, etc...). Avocados are very high in omega 3 acid- an essential nutrient for the heart. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The fats content in avocados are monounsaturated; they provide many health benefits as well ranging from improving the heart health, reducing cholesterol level by enhancing HDL(good cholesterol) and minimizing risks for diabetes( regulating blood sugar by stopping insulin resistance). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Potassium as mentioned earlier in good in regulating the effect of sodium which is bad for our heart. Folate, on the other hand, is an essential component of healthy red cells formation and cell growth. Folate is also very recommended for pregnant women in the prevention of birth defect and neural tube defect. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">It has been shown that avocados are equally efficient in the improvement of vision. They are the excellent source of carotenoid lutein which is very helpful in reducing macular degeneration and cataracts. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Avocados contain glutathione( antioxidant), a beneficial component in strengthening our immune system. They are classified as phytochemicals as well whose properties may act to inhibit cancer growth. Vitamin C and E help keep skin nourished. </span><br />

<i><b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">La confiance en soi</span></b></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quelques astuces pratiques a ne pas négliger pour développer la confiance en soi</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Je voudrais d'abord adresser mes voeux les meilleurs pour l'année nouvelle a tous mes chers lecteurs. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Je me suis absentée pendant un moment, mais je suis de retour. Nous allons entamer la nouvelle année en parlant de ce sujet qui touche l'essence même de notre personnalité: la confiance en soi.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">La confiance en soi est ce sentiment d'assurance que l'on a en ses propres possibilités.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">J'ai recense 5 éléments qui a mon sens pourraient nous aider a établir cette confiance en soi: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i><b>Se connaitre soi-meme</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i><b>Recevoir les compliments</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i><b>Soigner sa posture</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i><b>S'affirmer</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i><b>S'ouvrir</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i><b>Se connaitre soi-meme</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Il est important de connaître ses forces et faiblesses, limites et capacités, qualités et défauts- lesquels donnent une meilleure appréciation de qui l'on est vraiment afin de mieux s'affirmer. Cette évaluation personnelle confère une certaine assurance de soi,tout en permettant de mettre vos atouts personnels en valeur dans les rapports du quotidien sans avoir peur d'être offusqué.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cette introspection vous aidera a corriger vos points faibles en vue de les améliorer. Ainsi votre entourage pourra mieux vous connaître.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><i>Accepter les compliments</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Les compliments pour certains ne sont pas toujours la bienvenue, spécialement lorsque cette assurance de soi n'est pas en place. Au quotidien vous accomplissez un certain nombre de choses qui peuvent paraitre anodines, mais pas moins appréciables. Apprenez a recevoir ces commentaires marques de notes positives, lesquels pourraient vous servir de miroir pour mieux évaluer vos forces. Le compliment sert également a rehausser l'estime personnelle. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><i>Soigner sa posture </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">La confiance en soi peut se lire dans votre regard et la manière dont vous vous tenez. Tenez vous droit, les épaules relevées, la tête haute et le regard perspicace. Marchez d'un pas certain et assuré. le sourire n'est pas en reste dans cette posture, dans la mesure ou ceci vous rend plus avenant(e). Les personnes sures d'elles generalement adoptent ce genre de comportements non verbaux.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><i>S'affirmer</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">La confiance en soi se définit également par la perception que l'on a de soi-même, mais également par ce que l'on croit que les autres pensent de soi. Il peut arriver que vous ayez une perception erronée de ce que les autres pensent vous. C'est pour cela qu'il est important d'exprimer ses préférences, goûts, ses choix, ses valeurs, ses opinions, etc... auprès de ceux que l'on côtoie. Tout en s'affirmant, vous repoussez toute attitude desobligeante, non constructive, et/ou blessante de la part d'un potentiel interlocuteur. Dans une posture de politesse, repoussez toute velléité visant a blesser et faites-le savoir a votre interlocuteur. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><i>S'ouvrir</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Il n'y a pas un meilleur apprentissage que découvrir, s'ouvrir a un monde extérieur a soi, ou encore s'exposer a quelque chose de nouveau. Chercher a relever de nouveaux défis, meet and mingle(rencontrer et échanger), essayer ou pratiquer une activité différente sont des aspects qui vous permettront de sortir de votre routine quotidienne. S'adapter a un environnement inconnu permet d'évaluer ses capacités et limites tout en en travaillant sur les challenges auxquels l'on est exposé. Ceci vous permettra de mesurer vos progrès personnels et de s'aguerrir dans cette quête vers la confiance en soi. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Have you heard about this practice??????</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Breast ironing is a traditional practice consisting of massaging and/or flattening young pubescent girls breast with hot tools( I will talk about more further) in an attempt to disguise the signs of development. The reasoning behind this custom is to delay sexual intercourse, harassment, rape, and undesirable/early pregnancies. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Breast ironing is usually performed on young females breasts- age 10-19-by their mothers or a close relative. In some families, it's passed down from the grandmother to the daughter.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">According to the perpetrators, this ignoble practice aims at deterring unwanted pregnancies, unscrupulous and malicious sexual behaviors, early sexual activities, and precocious marriages.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The prevalence of breast ironing is observed in Cameroon and some other parts of African countries like Central African Republic, Bénin, Tchad, Côte D'Ivoire, Guinée-Conakry, Kenya, Nigeria, Togo, and Zimbabwe. The United Nations estimate that around 3.8 millions of young females are victims of breast ironing- with Cameroon holding the highest number of cases. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Notwithstanding this practice, the prevalence of early pregnancies and rape incidences( this excludes under-reported cases as a result of stigmatization) among young girls remain high in Cameroon. Breast ironing practice hasn't really helped as a deterrent.... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sexual harassment, unwanted pregnancies, and rape are still a rife. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The following example isn't an isolated case: Veronica was just 28, mother of 5 girls and grandmother of 1 , and her oldest daughter has gotten pregnant at age 14. In an attempt to protect the younger siblings from getting pregnant at such a young age, Verinocia started to flatten their breast at age 10. She was trying her best to protect her daughters against predators.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">There are 2 methods carried by those involved in this practice. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The first consists of heating tools like pestle, heavy stone, metal, sticks, spatulas, spoons, grinding stones, hot coconut shelves, and hot leaves over hot charcoals fire, and apply them against breasts with the intention of flattening and stunting their growth.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The second method involves wrapping the girl's chest with an elastic tight band overnight like shown in the picture. This makes the young female very uncomfortable during her sleep. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">While at the moment no medical studies have been undertaken on the effects of breast ironing, experts are of the assumption that it can lead to breast cancer, the formation of abscesses cysts, complications from breastfeeding, discharge of milk, breast damage tissues, etc.... There are further speculations that there can be permanent damage to milk ducts, infection, dissymmetry of the breasts, cancer, breast infections, severe fever, tissue damage and even the complete disappearance of one or both breasts.Victims of this practice also end up with marks, wrinkles and black spots on their breasts(Tchoukou 2014).But I believe that the inescapable scars is psychological( depression, fear, anxiety, frustration, confusion, emotional pain, etc...). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">My take on the issue is the need for sexual education in schools; the necessity to empower and educate young girls about risks of unprotected sex; Quite often young ladies don't understand their bodies changes when they reach puberty. In traditional African societies, raising the topic of sexuality among youngsters is still considered a taboo topic. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The social disorganization(</span><span style="font-size: large;">family disruption, poverty, lower socioeconomic status)</span><span style="font-size: large;"> is certainly a predicting factor in pushing these young girls to engage in risky sexual behaviors leading to undesirable consequences. These mothers' desire is </span><span style="font-size: large;">to protect their daughters against sexual predators, but they certainly don't know any other means. As indicated, the deterrence of sexual harassment is somewhere else.... not in breast ironing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I can also speak for acculturation and loss of fundamentals values formerly instilled in young females(preserving their bodies until marriage, and not having children outside the wedlock). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"> How would I classify this issue? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A violence against women? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Child abused? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Violation of human rights?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to have your take on this issue.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Plantain( Musa paradisiaca its scientific name) is a major staple food in West and Central Africa, Caribbean regions, Central and South America, some parts of Asia and India. Plantain is a nonseasonal crop available all year long. Plantain classification is sometimes awkward- vegetable for green and fruit for yellow.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Plantain looks like banana, but are quite different from the banana. In countries like Cameroon, Uganda, and Colombia- homes of plantain suppliers- the difference is well known.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Plantain is starchier, longer, and thicker, than the banana; it contains less sugar; it's much more versatile as a cooking ingredient. Usually, plantain is eaten when cooked, because it contains a certain amount of sap that has an undesirable taste. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Calories-wise, plantain is very similar to potato but contains more nutrients. Plantain is a good source of fiber, vitamins A, C and B6, minerals, magnesium, and potassium.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Plantain is richer in potassium than banana. Potassium is known for its many health benefits such as minimizing risks for high blood pressure. New pieces of evidence establish plantain as a key for the prevention of heart complications. One cup of sliced and cooked plantain delivers a potassium loaded with 716 milligrams- around 20% of the DV(Daily Value)(Yeager, p434). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Potassium not only plays a role in reducing risks of cardiovascular diseases, but it's also efficient in minimizing the likelihood of stroke. Additionally, potassium would constitute a good defense against atherosclerosis(hardening of arteries). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Fiber increases fullness and helps manage cholesterol. High fiber may also reduce risks of hemorrhoids and small pouches in our large intestine which has the potential to cause diverticular diseases according to the Mayo Clinic. A good fighter against free radicals, plantain contains a substantial amount of vitamin C- which acts as antioxidants, immune system builder, and tissues repairers for injuries. </span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;"><b>The cuisine </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Boiled plantain green and/or yellow</b></i> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Remove the plantain skin using a sharp knife; for hands protection wear gloves when peeling green plantains because of their high content of sap; You can also use cooking oil or kitchen salt to rub around your fingers and palms; pour water in a cooking pot, enough to absorb the green plantain; cook your green plantain for about 30 minutes or more- depending how soft you want it to be- from medium to high temperature. Repeat the same procedures for yellow plantain except that the water in the pot must be a little bit less than the plantain. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Fried Plantain </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">peel the skin off your plantain, and slice it into small or medium parts; heat your oil in a frying pan-medium to high; adding salt is optional</span><span style="font-size: large;">. Make sure your oil is hot before frying; you don't want your plantain to absorb too much oil, therefore the oil has gotten to be ready. Fry your plantain until it has the yellow look; use a perforated ladle to remove your plantain and place your slices inside an absorbing kitchen tower underneath a container. Plantain can be eaten by itself or as a side dish with a soup of your choice( we will discuss this later). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Versatile as a cooking ingredient </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Plantain is also made with one of my favors classical dishes from Cameroon called Kondre( Mixed plantain with seasoning, palm oil, spices, and meat of your choice except for poultry). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Plantain DG made with poultry spices, seasoning, and vegetables( carrots, green beans, bell pepper, etc...). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pounded plantain with small red or black beans is also very tasty. Pounded plantain with varieties of soups and /or egusi pudding. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quinoa availability is somehow limited. But it can be found near rice, beans, lentils, and other grains. If there is a special gluten-free section, look it over there as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Let's us talk a little bit about its many health benefits before going in the kitchen.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Quinoa the mother of all grains, a better substitute to white rice has so much more to offer...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Quinoa belongs to the amaranth family- a herbaceous plant growing as a grain crop and designed for human consumption. It's classified as a pseudocereal. It's also close to beetroot( we will talk about this later)), spinach, and amaranth ( another greener). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"> Quinoa is very rich in proteins( well recommend for vegetarians) and essential amino acids. A 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa will add 5 grams of proteins to our diet. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quinoa is also very rich in lysine( this amino acid plays a key role in repairing tissues). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The fiber amount of quinoa is unbelievable. Fiber is known to relieve from constipation, heart complications, high blood pressure, diabetes, glucose, and weight loss( in the sense that the body can go for long hours without the need for food). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Quinoa also contains iron to keep our blood cells in good shape.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Quinoa supplies magnesium and riboflavin(Vitamin B2)- they both help in blood circulation and migraine alleviation. Magnesium may also play a role in reducing diabetes type II by improving the blood sugar level. Magnesium also helps in regulating body temperature, detoxifying, boosting energy, and helping in the bones matrix and teeth. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quinoa has a high content of manganese. Manganese is efficient in preventing damage to mitochondria(</span><span style="font-size: large;">specialized structures within living cells)</span><span style="font-size: large;"> during energy production- and equally acting in the protection of blood cells against free radicals. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Au fourneau(In the Kitchen) </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quinoa is softer than other grains and cooks quickly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Cooking pot</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add 1 cup of quinoa reduce the heat from medium to low, and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes. The grains should be tender, and all liquid absorbed. Serve it with a soup, chicken, sprinkle on your salad, etc...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Quinoa Casserole</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> You have the choice to boil your quinoa in a cooking pot( in that case, use the above method) or prep it the microwave( that's what I do for quinoa casserole. The process remains the same like in the cooking pot- but it allows you to monitor its tenderness better( You can always sprinkle water to your convenience. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Ingredients</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cooked quinoa</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 onion chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 leek chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4 cloves garlic chopped or granulated garlic</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 ground black pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 white pepper( optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp thyme</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp celery( for the flavor)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 chopped tomatoes( optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6 chopped fresh broccoli florets </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Carrots</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Kales</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 bell pepper( color of your choice)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">cooking pan</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">oven bake pan</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">cooking oil</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">salt or Maggi knorr</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 1 cup of cheddar cheese( you can have more depending on how you want your recipe to be)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Preparation</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Heat your cooking pan at a medium temperature</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">add onion, tomatoes, salt or Maggi, gently stir until it becomes brown, add 2 cups of water if needed( quinoa can get dry at times), add all the remaining ingredients and quinoa stir for a minute and pour everything into the oven pan. make sure your salt is just enough, sprinkle your cheese and let the recipe simmer for about 10 minutes at a 400 degrees. Serve it hot with french bread or crackers. You can also blend all your ingredients except your onion to have more soup- and make it less dry. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Vegetables depend on your choices and preferences: kales, broccoli, parsley, celery, carrots, bell pepper, spinach, coconut, etc.... </span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>How do we handle them?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=951940726894723945" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" height="359" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTB09Tp3kUphtk1GVAY2OjNQ7RZA-QQF-jFHw-mSHRq0mrsyM-K" width="640" /><b><br /></b></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Hot flashes, mood swing, insomnia, dry skin, bone loss, high cholesterol, weight gain around the abdomen, and many more... H</span><span style="font-size: large;">ow do we handle these changes??</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's so much to deal with as women! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Menopause for many women-the change as often called- is a season of great exploration and vitality. Not having to worry about pregnancy and monthly cycles can be quite exciting- without forgetting the exuberance about starting a new career. </span><br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=951940726894723945" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However the body goes through a number of physiological changes that can take the exuberance away. Though these changes seem unbeatable, new pieces of evidences suggest that menopausal problems can be controlled or even eliminated through the right diet( Schiff, M.D). I have found this quite interesting while learning for myself, because I'm not far from there.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Menopause is marked by the end of menstrual cycles-which is diagnosed after 12 months cycles without menstrual periods. There is a natural decline in reproductive hormones( estrogen and progesterone) once women reach their 40s or 50s. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Perimenopausal(before the onset of menopause) symptoms include- but aren't limited to- hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain/slow metabolism, vaginal dryness, irregular menstruations, dry skin, hair loss, sleeping problems, loss of sexual drive, etc...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Estrogen regulates women cholesterol and calcium absorption. When estrogen levels drop, women tend to be at higher risks of developing heart complications and osteoporosis(bone degeneration). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">let's check what we can add to our diet for that particular season- and beyond.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Water will offset the dryness of your skin and vagina, caused by the decrease of estrogen. Taking 8 glasses of water per day may help keeping you hydrated while reducing dryness. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Calcium is indispensable for the survival of our bones. It is recommended to get at least 1500 milligrams a day for postmenopausal women</span><span style="font-size: large;">(National Institute of Health)</span><span style="font-size: large;">. You may want to increase your consumption of calcium- rich foods such as milk, non fat yogurt, and soy( rich in isoflavones,these plant-based foods have antioxidant and estrogenic effects on our body). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The power of fruits and vegetables in our bodies can never be underestimated.That's how we get our nutrients and vitamins in place- and reduce our calories intake.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now aging is no one friend in term of changes and weight gain. Our metabolism slows down during the aging process. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When menopause starts, things don't get too prettier with our body shape. One of the best ways to fight all these extra adipocytes consists of eating less and exercising more. This is where fruits and vegetables make a lot of sense: less calories, more nutrients, and better health. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Hot flashes I've learned, can leave you with a bitter mood. They come out of nowhere and leave you so uncomfortable. Here again the isoflavones-mentioned earlier- in soy can help. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Black beans(can be cooked into soup, mixed into your salad, and/or fried with tomato) also contain isoflavones. Ground flaxseed, chickpeas, peanuts are also good sources.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whole grains also play an important role in lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases during postmenopausal period. Like I mentioned earlier, the decrease of estrogen hormone may be detrimental to the maintaining of cholesterol level in our system. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whole grains(brown rice, barley, oatmeal, quinoa, pasta, etc...) are rich in folic acid and fiber- they are very effective in offsetting cardiovascular complications. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><u>In the kitchen</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I usually sprinkle my flaxseed on my salads, yogurt, cereal, and hot milk. I may add a 1/2 tsp of sugar every now and then....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>A simple black beans recipe would include:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">a small pack of dried beans or can beans( check the sodium content)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 large tomato fruit </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 slice medium onion</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4 cloves garlic, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 slice small ginger</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">canola oil</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">pepper( optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">dried shrimp(optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Preparation</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">boil your dried beans with water and 1 tsp of salt for about 1h30 minutes at medium-high heat</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">retrieve your beans from the original water when it's ready( the grains should be tender enough). Pour that water away- don't need to use it again</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">blend all your ingredients except your onion.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Heat your oil in the cooking pot at a medium to high heat</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">chop or slice your onion and add to your oil; add your ingredients and let everything cook until ready( 15 to 20 minutes); gently stir every now and then; add water and pour the black beans; continue to stir gently for few minutes. You may want to add water and maggi( knorr) if everything looks dry. when ready to serve, you can add dry cilantro, or dry celery for flavor. Serve with bread, rice, or bake potatoes. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Ail blanc( French), alliaceous(family name), Allium Sativum(Greek name), Ajo, Camphor Of The Poor, Da Suan, Garlic Clove, Garlic Head, Ail Rocambole,... </span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Garlic- a good remedy for ear infection, bad cholesterol, stomach and colon cancers, heart conditions, stroke, free radicals,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I personally use garlic for my soups, salads, recipes, and remedies solutions. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The taste is unbelievable.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The smell is irresistible. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">During War World II, garlic was used in lieu of penicillin to cure wounded soldiers. </span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Allium sativum</b> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Garlic is one of the alliaceous members, close to onion, leek, chive, and shallot. It's a phytochemical; these are non-nutritive substances in plant-based foods. Though phytochemicals aren't required by human body for sustaining life, they appear to have disease-fighting elements and other health benefits. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b>Garlic!!! </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Helps boost immunity and reduce high levels of blood sugar in our bodies. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">May prevent heart complications and stroke </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">May help reducing blood cholesterol while preventing the formation of blood clots which are known to accelerate atherosclerosis( fatty plaques that obstruct our arteries). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> Researchers found that garlic contains compounds called diallyl disulfide(DADS) which appears to improve blood flow by preventing blood particles from sticking together and clotting arteries. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i> <b>Cancer protection </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">New pieces of evidence suggest that including garlic in our diet regularly-not to say everyday-increases the likelihood of reducing the growth of cancer cells in our system. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The s-allyl cysteine in garlic may stop cancer cells from metabolizing.</span><span style="font-size: large;">The DADS I mentioned earlier appears to interfere cancer cells ability to multiply and grow</span><span style="font-size: large;">(John Milner). The hope is that garlic could become the basic ground for some cancer treatments. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Garlic also contains valuable properties that may halt the effects of nitrite( a common substance found in some foods and everyday pollutants) in our systems. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Garlic is a very good remedy for common sicknesses like cold, ear infection, sore throat, and flu. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Garlic appears to combat Alzheimer's dementia.We are exposed to free radicals in our daily basis. Garlic contains antioxidants elements that may help reduce brain degeneration and dementia.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Garlic nutritional benefits encompass:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">manganese, vitamin B6, vitamin C, selenium, fiber, and the decent amount of calcium, copper, potassium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B1-and very low intake of calories. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">Getting the most of garlic:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You can chop it and add some to your soup, salad, omelet, etc...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You may want to opt for the powder garlic for your cuisine, bread, vinaigrette salad, etc...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I simply choose to include the following in my cuisine: garlic, onion, ginger, and quite often leek. we will talk about those later. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Au fourneau( in the kitchen) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <i style="font-size: x-large;"><b>A simple omelet with garlic:</b></i><br />
<i style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Ingredients</b></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 clove of garlic or 1/2 tsp of crushed garlic</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 of onion sliced in parts</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 whole eggs </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">a pinch of salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">pinch of white pepper or cayenne pepper(optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tbsp of milk(optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">pinch of dried cilantro or parsley</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Preparation</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">beat eggs, salt, chopped garlic, cilantro and/or parsley, and pepper in a small bowl until blended; </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">heat butter or canola oil in nonstick omelet or skillet over medium-high until hot;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">pour in your pan the egg mixture; </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the mixture should set at edges; use a flat turner to gently invert and cook portions as needed. when each surface is cooked, gently fold your egg with turner and serve immediately. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Garlic sauce dip</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Ingredients </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4 cloves of garlic</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 onion</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 leek</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">a pinch of white pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">a pinch of black pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Jamaican small peppers</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 slices of small ginger</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">salt or knorr Maggi </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Preparation</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Blend all the ingredients together until smooth; pour your ingredients into a saucepan; rinse off your blender with water to collect the remaining seasoning and pour everything into your pan; add your oil( canola, vegetable, olive, etc...); gently stir your sauce to medium heat until ready. The readiness is when your sauce is no longer homogeneous: the oil will surface on top and your sauce underneath. Serve it hot! You can have it with your broil, bake, or fry chicken, rice, meatball, ground beef, egg boils, etc.... Can be kept refrigerated in a closed container for up to 2 weeks. </span><b style="font-size: x-large;"> </b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Haven't you noticed that yogurt section in most groceries stores has practically taken the dairy aisle? You have to search around in order to find other traditional dairy products. But it only makes sense that a food with as many health benefits as yogurt is given a prime real estate in grocery stores. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-size: large;">There are so many consumers of yogurt out there from children to just about any age group. We ingurgitate these live organisms every day when we open yogurt containers. Also, let's not forget that yogurt comes from milk, so yogurt consumers will equally get a dose of protein, magnesium, potassium, calcium, vitamin B-2, and vitamin B-12. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Yogurt is packed with bacteria- the live and active cultures you read on the label.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Research has indicated that these friendly bacteria (probiotics) are known to improve our healthy digestive system and may help fight constipation, diarrhea, lactose intolerance, etc...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I'm lactose intolerant. Every time I take milk especially powder milk, I just can't get over the pain. My solo refuge is yogurt during breakfast, or throughout the day. I also like to have it before going to the gym, not only does it strengthen my muscles but it boosts my energy intake for strenuous physical activity. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-size: large;">There is some evidence that yogurt may help build the wall against bacterial infections. While research has shown its benefits in fighting inflammatory bowel( symptoms range from abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea, and sometimes fever), yogurt may boost the intestinal microflora which is known to protect against infections and diseases. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yogurt appears to relieve stomach ulcers. Ulcers originate from bacteria. New pieces of evidence mention that eating plenty of live-culture yogurts, can keep ulcer-causing bacteria on the check. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Yeast infection(fungus living in the vagina and multiplying suddenly) occurrence is common among women with symptoms ranging from itching, burning, and other uncomfortable effects...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I've learned from a study that women were asked to eat 8 ounces( 1 small can of yogurt)a day for six months. After a period of observation, These women noticed improvements and yeast infections have dropped significantly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Yogurt intake may also help in the prevention of osteoporosis( bone degeneration) with its micronutrients calcium and vitamin D. These nutrients provide good and strong bone structures. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I personally find yogurt to cut down hunger. It gives a sensation of being full and not wanting to have the next meal quickly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>In My diet</u></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I give preference to a plain low-fat yogurt which has less sugar and fewer calories intake. Remember to always read your label( I discussed the importance of reading food labels in one of my posts). For a bowl of plain low-fat yogurt, I add a teaspoon of sugar along with fruits of my choice. Having yogurt during breakfast time is fantastic to get your day going- also in between meals as snacks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As previously said, plain low-fat yogurt is preferable. However, you have the choices between plain low-fat, nonfat, or full yogurt. Add a teaspoon of sugar along with chopped fruits of your choice. I usually go with mango, strawberry, cantaloupe, pears, apple, kiwi, blueberries, etc....</span><br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=951940726894723945" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><b><i>Smoothies delicious!!!!</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 banana, 1 mango, 1 cup of yogurt, 1 cup of strawberry, ice crush if you want. You may want to drop a 1/2 cup of milk depending on how light or heavy you want it. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar If you would like. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Blend everything together and you will obtain a fantastic cocktail to get you on your feet all day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Homemade yogurt</b></u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i></i></b></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Ingredients</i></b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1 gallon of whole milk </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">32 oz of commercial yogurt containing active culture for the starter( plain low-fat, nonfat, or whole yogurt)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1/2 gallon of pasteurized milk can also be used in lieu of commercial yogurt</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">8 oz of sour cream( optional)</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"> <i><b>Instructions</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pour your milk into a sauce ou cooking pan and warm it to right below boiling( 200 °F). Stir up your milk gently to make sure the bottom doesn't scorch and the milk doesn't overheat. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Remove your milk from the stove and let it cool down until it's just warm to the touch. You can also place your container in an ice water bath to cool your milk down quicker.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pour into your milk the yogurt mixed together with sour cream( if you choose to add it). Whisk it into your warm milk to mix the culture altogether. You may add sugar, and flavors ( vanilla, rum, coconut, etc....). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Transfer your yogurt into the storage container and wrap them in towels or blanket to keep them warm for about 8 hours. You can also place your container inside a cooler with warm water and close the cooler for 8 hours without moving or touching. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the yogurt is ready to remove the top or the lead of the container, if you see water you can either drain it off or whisk back into your yogurt. The next step is to refrigerate your yogurt to keep at a cold temperature. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Homemade yogurt is delicious and can be kept up to 2 weeks. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Le rire est un événement qui provoque de nombreux mécanismes, dont les effets bénéfiques sur notre corps sont innombrables. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>Le rire</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">elimine le stress</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">diminue la tension arterielle</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">renforce le systeme immunitaire</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">reduit la douleur </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">permet d'envisager les choses sous un angle positif</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">apporte un plus au niveau de l'activité intellectuelle</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">un bon remede contre les problems de peau</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"> Pourquoi rions-nous? E</span><span style="font-size: large;">st-il important de rire aux éclats? De temps en temps, sporadiquement, ou régulièrement?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pense simplement a une histoire qui t'a fait exploser de joie, je t'assure que tu ne résisteras pas a l'envie de ne pas rire. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">les feuilletons comiques aident également a détendre et provoquer le rire.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"> j'ai personnellement expérimenté les bienfaits du rire dans mes moments de mélancolie, solitude, colère, et inquiétude. Les histoires qui me font toujours craquer, sont par exemple les anecdotes de mes enfants se souvenant des punitions lorsqu'ils étaient tous petits. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Ma fille m'a par exemple rappelée que lorsqu'elle et ses frères faisaient des bêtises, je leur demandais très souvent d'aller au cachot, et le cachot c'était le dessous du lit(rires). Je m'occupais ensuite a autre chose et je les oubliais au cachot. lorsqu'ils y avaient mis trop de temps, ils sortaient du cachot et jouaient dans la chambre. Mais alors l'un d'eux guettait par l'entrebâillement de la porte pour s'assurer que maman ne venait pas au bas de l'escalier. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">L'élimination du stress vient de ce que le rire permet a notre corps de sécréter les endorphines, ces hormones qui diminuent la production de l'adrénaline( aussi appelée epinephrine- hormone du stress sécrétée par les glandes surrenales) </span><span style="font-size: large;">générée pendant les moments d'intense d'émotions: peur, colère, stress. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Le rire permet egalement de détendre nos muscles qui se crispent lorsque notre organisme est sous une tension liée au stress. Lorsqu'il y a relaxation des muscles, notre cerveau est oxygéné, et ceci favorise une humeur de détente.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Le rire agit favorablement sur le tissue artériel. En favorisant une meilleure circulation sanguine et en oxygénant le coeur, le rire permet d'éliminer les risques de caillots sanguins qui pourraient potentiellement se former au niveau des parois artérielles.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Il a ete demontre que si tu es sujet(te) a des hausses de tension artérielle, le rire au quotidien et surtout spontané pourrait améliorer tes chiffres ( Sante Magazine).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">le rire contribue au bon fonctionnement du système immunitaire. Des nouvelles études notamment celles du Dr. Lee S. de L'universite de Loma Linda( California, USA) ont demontre que le rire aiderait a augmenter le taux d'anticorps dans notre organisme. Ces mêmes recherches ont indiqué qu'au terme d'une thérapie par le rire chez les sujets soumis a ce traitement, il ya généralement accroissement du taux des anticorps au niveau des muqueuses nasales, et des voies respiratoires. le renforcement de ces anticorps sont reconnus comme protecteurs contre les bactéries, virus, et flores microbiennes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">J'ajouterais même en me basant sur mon experience personnelle que en pratiquant quotidiennement le rire, du sport, et une alimentation équilibrée, ceci vous met a l'abri de nombreuses maladies et surtout vous boost mentalement en minimisant les risques de dépression. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Il a egalement ete demontre que l'intervention des clowns dans les hôpitaux aident les patients profondément atteints par la douleur a se sentir mieux. C'est vrai que l'humour produit le rire et d'ailleurs beaucoup de rires.... Les effets bénéfiques seraient la sécrétion de l'endorphine mentionnée ci-dessus ayant pour rôle de réduire les effets de douleur. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hum bon a savoir!!!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">S'il vous plait cher lecteurs cultivons le rire. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Le rire et l'assurance que demain tout ira pour le mieux. Je me retrouve devant une perte de mon emploi, la baisse de mes revenues, ou simplement la perte d'argent que j'ai investi dans une activité. ceci peut être déprimant, decourageant, et que sais-je encore?????</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> le fait de rire m'aidera certainement a voir les choses sous un angle beaucoup plus positif. Non seulement le rire va détendre mes nerfs, éliminer pour l'instant le stress relatif a ces mauvaises nouvelles, mais le rire m'aidera a relativiser et envisager les choses plus sereinement. J'ai connu des situations ou j'avais toujours la gorge serrée chaque fois que j'allais travailler. Non seulement mon employeur était quelqu'un de très acariâtre, mais il rémunérait mal ses employés. J'ai fait le constat selon lequel chaque fois que je riais avec mes collègues pendant nos pauses, je me sentais beaucoup mieux. On se racontait généralement des histoires drôles et on en rigolait..... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Je découvre également les bienfaits du rire sur l'apprentissage.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Selon le Dr. Lewis. Le rire élimine les anxiétés lies a l'échec, l'erreur, et la peur de répondre aux questions posees. Il stimule un meilleur apprentissage a travers la volonte et la creativite. les endorphines cérébrales sécrétées pendant le rire font baisser toute tension liée l'anxiété et la nervosité. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Autre chose a savoir que j'apprends c'est la fonction du rire dans le soulagement de l'eczéma. Les recherches font état du faible taux de dermicine( antibiotique naturel sécrété par les glandes salivaires pouvant soulager l'eczéma) chez les personnes ayant l'eczéma. Le rire augmentait considérablement le taux de dermicine chez cette catégorie d'individus.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">S'il vous plait cher lecteurs cultivons le rire. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">1- <b><span style="color: purple;">Not getting an adequate amount of restful sleep</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sleeping disorders affect metabolism and hormones responsible for regulating hunger and appetite(leptin and ghrelin). Leptin (also called the starvation hormone) secretion occurs during sleeping time to suppress hunger and signal that brain has had enough to eat. When the body is not at rest, ghrelin hormone is produced to increase appetite -often time for fats and sweets.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <img alt="Related image" height="140" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRmTDZ0q89qY314iU-wVdy9uqi1-n3wNOECd3I1_QFM1uR49H1rDQ" width="200" /><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sitting down for too long increase the likelihood of having the following: high blood pressure, cardiovascular complications, osteoporosis, decreasing of arteries diameter( thus narrowing blood circulation), and weight gain( due to the decrease of metabolism's activity). Few tips would include: standing up every hour especially when working in offices; taking stairs instead of escalators; walking in the building for few minutes; eating lunch while remaining stand; doing few stretches.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Doctors recommend consultations for those who have hormonal disorders and can't shade few extra fats. Hormonal problems often include the malfunctioning of the thyroid gland- which doesn't make enough thyroid hormone to get the body running normally. New researchers also underscore polycystic ovarian syndrome whereby the growth of small cysts in women ovaries aren't harmful but create hormone imbalances- which affect the well functioning of internal organs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">4- <b><span style="color: purple;">Being stressed</span></b> and not getting enough relaxation can cause weight gain</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stress increases the production of cortisol which in many cases, triggers appetite for foods.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">5- <b><span style="color: purple;">Craving for sugar </span><span style="color: purple;">and artificial sweeteners</span></b> is a real killer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Those sugars are found in candies, cookies, sodas, precooked cuisines, etc..... Artificial sweeteners increase the likelihood of developing obesity while slowing down the metabolism. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">6- <span style="color: purple;"><b>Not getting sufficient amount of water in the body.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Water is critically important for the body survival: cleanses the system, boosts the metabolism, hydrate the skin, eliminates toxins, suppress appetite for more food( especially when drinking water prior to eating).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <img alt="Related image" height="112" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQm9p6POkQzp4EnvZXFPVpPLbMCTmxMb09GaZOESDMCBLDUpyEl" width="200" /><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One way to loose weight consists of doing cardio: running, walking, climbing upstairs, swimming, and bicycling. These physical activities help in burning calories. Stretching everyday for 5 to 10 minutes has been proven helpful in reducing injury and maintaining healthy muscles.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Proteins are good for boosting metabolism while burning calories. Moreover, when the body gets enough proteins( nuts, eggs, seeds, fish, lean meat, yogurt, lentils, beans), they feel the stomach and diminish hunger.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They are found in fruits and vegetables(potatoes, lentils, peas, broccoli, black beans, raspberries, avocados, brown rice, pasta, mango, guava, spinach, carrots, etc.... Fibers have the capacity to reduce appetite; they are absorbed slowly; they help feeling full after eating so that the body may snack less. </span><br />

It can occur as a result of sitting down or standing for too long; eating too much salt; blood not flowing properly through the body; experiencing some side effects from certain medicines( must be check with personal physician); Hormonal disorders as mentioned earlier with thyroid; </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">11- <b><span style="color: purple;">Being too strict when following a particular diet</span></b> in order to lose weight can become detrimental in the sense that you deprive yourself of what you like- and your body craves for these things.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quite often it is recommended to maintain a balanced diet and avoid skipping meals when trying to lose weight. This means that, trying to eat what you like every now and then at smaller proportions without completely eliminating these guilty pleasures from your plate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">12- <span style="color: purple;"><b>Not eating the good fat</b></span>s( nuts, seeds, avocados, fish) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These goods fats feel up and reduce appetite for snacking. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">13- <span style="color: purple;"><b>Skipping meals and eating late at night</b></span> is such a bad idea, especially the breakfast which in fact provides a good body support throughout the day. Instead of skipping breakfast, it would be preferable to skip dinner and have fruits and/or salad in the evening time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">14- the last thing and probably the hardest one is the ability to <b><span style="color: purple;">adopting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle</span></b> even after these extra pounds have come off. Changing diets and adopting a healthy lifestyle must be perceived as a long-term and lasting solution. </span><br />

<br />
<img alt="Related image" height="640" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSzXiwQuJw4NcyFB6gF4XBb4Uu0pN9x7UrZSTztnjZelNzqIrNv" width="477" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Le bicarbonate de soude et ses multiples bienfaits:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Peut etre utilise pour la cuisine, le nettoyage, et le quotidien. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Related image" height="132" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSyLCWtcdzw8HkX5NTKucr8WJcDerzQs5ipjzfHG9y2Mu3_fJFS" width="200" /> <img alt="Related image" height="133" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRnEX0RaT09iHM3Axww2NqYcvx7I72A6CQJOgArPZR2Vn6w8jWR" width="200" /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Il est egalement utilise dans le domaine pharmaceutique, medical, et l'elevage.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Le bicarnonate alimentaire ne contient aucun additif; il est economique et pratique. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Son usage est justifie parce qu'il n'est pas nocif a l'organisme( non toxique, pas allergique, et comestible). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Il peut etre utilise pour nettoyer et desinfecter les douches, les surfaces( evier de douche, cuisine, paillasse, bainoire), et les vetements. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Il est tres efficace pour eliminer les odeurs de cuisine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">L'astuce consiste a verser la poudre de bicarbonate dans un vaporiseur, et y ajouter un 1/2 litre d'eau froide(ou alors faire l'inverse) ainsi qu'un peu de vinaigre. Ainsi on obtient une solution homogene pour vaporiser et astiquer </span><span style="font-size: large;">les surfaces- particulierement les zones graissees. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Il blanchit l'email dentaire et rafraichit l'haleine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">l'astuce consiste a saupoudrer un peu de bicarbonate sur sa brosse a dent avant le brossage. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Le PassportSante cependant ne recommande son usage qu'une fois par semaine, a cause du risque d'endommagement de l'email dentaire.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Selon le PassportSante.NET, il est efficace dans le traitement des aphtes et gencives. Un bain de bouche est recommande en diluant une cuillere a soupe de poudre dans un demi verre d'eau froide. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Il est efficace pour les soins capillaires. Une application consiste a saupoudrer du bicarbonate sur son cuir chevelure, frotter et masser pendant quelques minutes, et brosser doucement son cheveu. Ce procede elimine les exces de sebum. Cependant il est recommende de ne appliquer ce genre de traitement qu'une fois par semaine -tout comme dans le cas des soins bucaux- a cause de ses proprietes abrasives qui pourraient etre endommageantes suite a un usage excessif.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Le bicarbonate est egalement recommande dans le soulagement des reflux gastriques. Il est conseille de diluer une cuillere a cafe de poudre dans un verre d'eau et d'y ajouter au besoin un peu de citron et de miel( si l'on veut) pour raffiner un peu son gout. Il est conseille de boire la solution par petites gorgees. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Le bicarnobate est egalement excellent dans l'elimination des peaux mortes. Il suffit de diluer environ 4 cuilleres a soupe de poudre dans un litre d'eau tiede, et d'y tremper les pieds pendant 15 minutes. Ensuite, il faut a l'aide d'une grosse lime a ongles et d'une brosse pour pieds, frotter la plante des pieds et limer les ongles. les peaux mortes tomberont facilement. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif;">l existe 4 sortes de bicarbonate de soude, qui se distinguent par leur pureté : </span><br />

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Le bicarbonate de soude alimentaire</strong>, c’est-à-dire celui qu'on peut retrouver au supermarché. Il est peu onéreux et on peut en faire plusieurs usages. Il peut être consommé et utilisé sans aucune contre-indication.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open sans", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.875rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Le bicarbonate de soude exclusivement réservé à l'élevage</strong>. Il possède des propriétés basiques qui rééquilibrent le pH des animaux qui consomment trop de protéines.</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Le bicarbonate de soude technique</strong> est plus abrasif que l’alimentaire, ce qui restreint son utilisation aux tâches ménagères uniquement. Il est conseillé de porter des gants lors de sa manipulation afin d’éviter une irritation de la peau.</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Le bicarbonate de sodium pharmaceutique</strong> c'est le plus pur et le plus dispendieux. De plus, son utilisation est strictement médicale. On peut donc le retrouver en pharmacie.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-size: large;">Je l'ai particulierement trouve tres efficace dans le nettoyage de mes eviers de cuisine, douche, baignoire, et toilette. </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-size: large;">La meilleure formule consiste a verser un peu de poudre sur la surface a nettoyer, ou encore tremper son eponge mouillee dans dans du bicarbonate, ensuite astiquer ou frotter la surface a nettoyer pour obtenir de meilleurs resultats. </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-size: large;">Je discuterai des peaux mortes en profondeur dans une de mes prochaines publications. </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pour ce qui est de l'elimination des peaux mortes, il est important de rappeler que les peaux mortes surviennenent a la suite de plusieurs facteurs:</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-size: large;"> la longue stature debout- rester debout pendant de longues heures. Je l'ai personnellement experimente lorsque je passais de longues heures( 3 a 4 heures) debout a travailler sans m'asseoir </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-size: large;">le surpoids- lorsque vos pieds suportent un poids au dessus de la normale, ceci peut causer des peaux mortes au niveau de la plante des pieds. </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-size: large;">Les savons irritants- particulierement les savons non-hydratants </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-size: large;">les conditions medicales peuvent egalement etre a l'origine des peaux mortes. </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-size: large;">Generalement pour eliminer les peaux au niveau de mes plantes de pieds, je recours a un peu d'eau chaude(chauffer moderement) dans un recipient en plastique. Vous pouvez y mettre une certaine quantite jusqu'au niveau de votre cheville, ensuite verser une demi tasse de poudre de bicarbonate, et laisser tremper vos pieds dans la solution pendant environ 30 minutes. Sortez vos pieds de la bassine, essuyer a l'aide d'une serviette et utiliser une brosse a pied ou une grosse lime pour frotter les plantes de vos pieds. Vous serez surpris des resultats. </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-size: large;">Essayer et faites-moi part des resultats. </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-size: large;">Que pensez-vous de cette formule??</span></div>

Speaking of human movement, migration consists of moving from one region to another. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , "dejavu sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The number of international migrants has increased rapidly over recent years, reaching 244 million in 2015. (UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , "dejavu sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are varieties of reasons triggering migration; they can be classified into 2 categories: </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , "dejavu sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , "dejavu sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Coercing factors</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Factors affecting health in the country of origin and during migration encompass but are not limited: famine, violence, drought, hardship due to loss, extended and unintended stay in refugee camps( which consequently causes promiscuity, epidemic, poor hygiene and sanitation due to overcrowding conditions), insecurity, etc.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Other parameters to be taken into consideration are language barriers in the host country, lack of info about healthcare and other services, loss of status, marginalization, struggle as related to assimilation, identity crisis, lack of social network, discrimination, etc...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The health implications of these factors can be detrimental to the mental and physical health of migrants. Coping with a completely new environment can be emotionally and physically stressful( from being depressed, to be discouraged, and physically drained and stressed out).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Though migrants are often young, some may have preexisting health </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">conditions </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">that can be strenuous for the local health care system( especially when dealing with massive migration). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Other challenges may speak for the necessity to increase healthcare infrastructures and health coverage for new migrants once they arrive in the host country. When dealing with aging migrants, there may be challenging questions to answer: how to resolve health coverage for the elderly, retirement, and taxpayers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Migration also presents health implications for the country where migrants came from. The departure of migrants for economic or academic opportunities may consequently create brain drain ( fuite des cerveaux) in their country of origin- especially those who are skillful in tech, engineering, medical, and entrepreneurial. That human depletion is an impediment to the local economy because human potential is being lost. </span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">Antioxidants and its many health benefits</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">Protect against </span><b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">free radicals </span></b><span style="font-size: large;">which are responsible for certain cancers</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Reduce risks of cardiovascular diseases,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Minimize risks of macular degeneration, muscle soreness, etc....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Strong support for progressive and healthy aging</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Reinforce our immune functions</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Play an important for maintaining an optimal liver function</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Strengthen the body elimination systems </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules( fabricated by cells)<br /> that have lost electrons due to stress and many other factors(exposure to sunlight and) pollution. These unstable molecules will wander around our bodies trying to stabilize themselves by stealing electron from other molecules. When they succeed, they create even more free radicals which damage healthy cells and make our bodies vulnerable to diseases. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They cause low-density lipoprotein (LDL) the bad cholesterol- which is at the heart of atherosclerosis, coronary artery diseases, and cardio vascular complications; they are also responsible for altering DNA( deoxyribonucleic acid present in human being to determine their fundamental and distinct characteristics) which expose us to certain cancers; they even accelerate the aging process in certain people; they are responsible for macular degeneration and vision loss.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Unless something steps in the way to prevent these molecules from fulfilling their freedom, damage can be irreparable. This is where antioxidants come in as a barrier. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><b>Antioxidants</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> are found in most fruits and vegetables:</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image result for fruits and vegetables" height="224" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQsTtds9L5xoTusXP6XjhvmO2D77fGIEsXtZ3zTlwxOG6JBmukz4w" width="400" /><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Some of the top foods for antioxidants are: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dark chocolate, berries family, pecans, artichoke, kidney beans, cilantro, tomatoes, broccoli, kale, pomegranates, pumpkin seeds, carrots, sweet potatoes, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They provide vitamin C,E, beta carotene, and minerals. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Vitamin C also called ascorbic acid is really good in eliminating free radicals from our bodies. Research also suggest that vitamin C may help reduce the effects of aging. It strengthens bones and collagen, quick healing from wounds, also good for great smokers. It takes 20 milligrams of vitamin C to eliminate free radical effects of cigarette. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Vitamin E on the other hand stands as barrier to heart diseases caused by the effects of free radicals. New research found that women who consistently consume vitamin E are at lower risks of having heart conditions as opposed to their counterparts who are inconsistent in taking vitamin E. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You may also want to use some herbs to increase your antioxidants intake: clove, cinnamon, oregano, turmeric, cumin, parsley, basil, ginger, thyme, garlic, and cayenne.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In one of my blogs, I have talked about the importance of reading food labels. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<img alt="Image result for high fructose corn syrup" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTodT4xHXuKWxZNenAfanIz7rpbKunPRyqSYgiTYI8slA4Tmz99" /></div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">High fructose corn syrup(HFCS) is a type of sweetener made from corn starch found in sodas and fruit flavored drinks. It's also used in food manufacturing- where it has replaced refine white sugar in many products such as soft drinks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Excessive consumption of sugar leads to nutrient displacement, tooth decay, and issues related to obesity and diabetes. When we consume artificial sweeteners such as candies, sodas, white chocolate, etc... not only we aren't getting in the nutrients needed, but we are losing some( the ones we have stored aren't replaced and our bodies need nutrients to survive). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<img alt="Image result for candies" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSqIB0sDO2s15ZDQeJs-wSdhTpFMRxk_GYFCV0zCprBYiymZTmJ" /><img alt="Image result for soft drinks" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSwUJS5Z1MoP3SWHzRnNlqhf-EOHNSvhmGbo6C4fyDv2Kpab4mN" /><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Artificial sweeteners in foods and drinks contain fewer nutrients, but empty k calories. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The fructose is metabolized in our liver. Now depending on people bodies, we are not certain if the liver can always handle the quantity of fructose intake. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When greater amount of fructose is ingested by the liver who can no longer metabolize it, the overload sugar will be transformed in adipose(body fats). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This in return become responsible of many health challenges( gout, diabetes type II, obesity, and certain form of cancers).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Recent studies also indicated that HFCS destroys leptin.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Leptin is a hormone produced by the body fat's cell which an important role in regulating energy balance while suppressing appetite. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "source sans pro" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">A myth says: “Sugar feeds cancer.” But the truth is that sugar doesn't make cancer grow faster. All cells, including cancer cells, depend on blood sugar (glucose) for energy. But giving more sugar to cancer cells doesn't make them grow faster and starving them of sugar doesn’t make them grow slower.</span></b></span><br />

<br />
<img alt="Image result for chocolat noir" src="http://img.over-blog-kiwi.com/0/93/22/41/20160412/ob_10d712_les-bienfaits-du-chocolat-noir.jpg" height="441" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Le chocolat noir grace a sa forte teneur en cacao comporte plusieurs elements indispensable a notre sante, quoiqu'il soit necessaire de le consommer avec moderation a cause de son apport calorifique eleve.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Le cacao est compose de fibres qui favoriseraient le fonctionnement du transit intestinal en reduisant les risques de constipation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Il contient plus de fibres que certains legumes comme les courgettes et les concombres( PassportSante. net).</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">En outre Le chocolat noir renferme des polyphenols( molecules organiques) qui jouent un role crucial dans le renforcement de la muqueuse intestinale- l'un des supports de notre systeme immunitaire.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Le chocolat est egalement tres riche en flavonoides(antioxidants). Nous reviendrons sur les bienfaits des antioxidants plus tard . Mais retenons que les antioxidants protegent contre les radicaux libres lesquels sont a l'origine de certains cancers, cardiopathies, degenerescence maculaire, douleur musculaire, etc....</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Le chocolat noir est egalement presente comme un antidepressant, grace a sa forte teneur en cacao qui contient l'acide amine tryptophane dont la transformation en serotonime(neurotransmitteur) produit des effets positifs sur l'humeur. Des recherches indiquent que le chocolat contribue aussi a la secretion de l'endorphine( hormone de bonheur et de bien-etre). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Depression is a mental state followed by a profound feeling of sadness, discouragement, withdrawal, hopeless, and non importance. Depression can cause you to not have interest in anything like daily activity, eating, working, sleeping. In fact there is no economic productivity when an individual is depressed.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The choices of food can elevate your mood for the day or sink it. News studies have indicated that when serotonin is in short supply, depression and insomnia can surface. Eating the right nutrients will not only lift our mood, but they will reduce the likelihood of having feeling of depression.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now understand that body mechanisms are different from one person to another and that, the recipes that work for one person may not be the same for another individual. Some people will probably need to consult with a mental health specialist when they experience a severe or chronic state of depression.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Her are few tips that can help lift our "feeling better mood". Selene Yeager in her textbook <b>The Doctors Book of Food Remedy </b>mentions the importance of serotonin (this chemical brain compound) synthesized by tryptophan, an amino acid found in nuts, seeds, cheese, pineapple, eggs, fish.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Serotonin acts as a mood stabilizer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A boost of vitamin B6 found in leafy greens, poultry, fish, and whole grain can also improve our mood. Vitamin B6 increases serotonin to "feeling better mood".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Folate is also a remedy to minimize the feeling down mood. Research by Dr Werbach indicates that people who are clinically depressed have low levels of folate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Folate is found in beans, green, avocado, peas, asparagus, grapefruits, blueberries. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Stay tuned we will continue on my next post....</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Let's read and explain our label</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>1-Starting with the serving size</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pay a particular attention to the serving size; it does influence the number of calories; it indicates the number of servings in one package and the amount you would eat at one time: serving size 1 cup; serving per container 2;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You can evaluate the portion you actually eat (which corresponds to the serving size of 1 cup) to the total number of serving per container( which in the above shows 2). If the serving size is one cup and you eat 2 cups, you are absorbing two times the amount of calories, fats, and other nutrients listed on the label. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><b><span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">2- Always check the total number of calories per serving </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The sample label above indicates 250 cal per serving which means that one cup of consumption will add that much amount; if you ate the whole package, you would eat two cups for 500 cal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The calorie section is really helpful in managing your weight(maintain, loose, or gain). Quite often we consume more calories than what our bodies need.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The sample label shows that 110 cal comes from fats, which means that eating the whole package will add 220 cal from fats only( total 500 cal for 2 cups). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you have to eat something else beside this package, you're already putting yourself at risk of getting more cal than recommended for the day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I will explain this is detail in another publication( the daily recommended intake of cal versus what we normally get in our bodies).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Getting in our system too many calories per day consequently lead to overweight, obesity- and subsequently to chronic diseases we will discuss further.</span><br />
