Health & Diet Tip:

BASIC WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

The perfect diet should be combined with a healthy weight management or activity program. Weight management may conjure up that dreaded “exercise” word.

And exercise to some means pushing the body beyond limits, experiencing painful in joints, muscles, bones - everywhere. No pain no gain, right? Wrong. Instead, replace the word “exercise” with “activity” and incorporate this in your daily routine.

And a general rule of thumb for guidelines about “activity” would be to strive for a minimum of 30 minutes for adults or 60 minutes for children of moderate physical activity daily.

Individual activity goals depend upon each person’s health and weight goals and issues. Begin by checking with your medical advisor or healthcare physician to get a green light on which activities would be suitable for you, what your target weight range should be and a strategic plan to improve your health.

In a nutshell, during activities, calories are burned, pounds are shed in the long run. And the number of calories burned depends upon the duration and intensity or the activity. Slow and steady is the rule of thumb. And note daily progress.

For those who have never been very active at all, it may be advisable to begin slow like with walking 10 minutes each day, gradually building up time and distance with increased “brisk” pacing.

Even if you can’t get out to walk, bike or swim, take stairs instead of elevators and escalators.

Clean your house. Clean your car. Wash windows. Wash your dog.

Check out exercise videos, cassettes and workout books from the public library and put some of their ideas into action.

Check out your local fitness centers, YMCA, community center, too, for ideas. Partner up with a neighbor to walk or join a community volleyball team.

There are unlimited ways to be active and enjoy life at the same time without using painful weight loss strategies.

2 tablespoons rosewater
Mix together all ingredients in an ovenproof glass bowl or pitcher. Heat until just boiling and thick, 1 to 2 minutes in the microwave on High (stirring every 30 seconds), or on the stove top in a water bath.

1 cup water ( I used commercial rose water)

Combine the oils and stearic acid powder and heat over low heat until stearic acid powder is melted
. Combine baking soda, aloe vera gel and water in microwave safe container. Microwave until just boiling (1 to 2 min)

Slowly add 1/3 of the water solution to the oil mixture and stir.
Then using a blender (either stick or regular) slowly add the rest of the water to the oil mixture and blend on high.

Featured Product - Florafibre

Florafibre - Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Fibre Tablets

Lactobacillus acidophilus are microscopic organisms found naturally in the digestive tract and their function is to help protect us against the constant onslaught of harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast and toxins.

Also known as 'friendly flora', these beneficial bacteria contribute to the bulk of bowel movements and also assist in extracting various nutrients from the food we eat.

Fibre has been added to this supplement to take advantage of the known beneficial combination of good bacteria and fibre, which promote balance in the intestinal tract.

Key Ingredient Properties

Lactobacillus Acidophilus - enhances the body's ability to control pathogenic micro-organisms; helps support the immune function; and naturally improves bowel function. Acidophilus is found naturally in fermented foods, such as yoghurt and sauerkraut, and is regarded as the most beneficial and versatile of the Lactobacilli family of 'friendly' bacteria.

Cellulose - a complex carbohydrate (dietary fibre). Cellulose cannot be broken down by the gastric juices and therefore helps with the evacuation of waste products from the digestive tract.

Psyllium Seed Husks - herbalists consider Psyllium to be one of the richest sources of dietary fibre available in any food. For centuries, Psyllium was used to treat ulcers, colitis, and constipation.

Apple Pectin - good source of soluble fibre.

DID YOU KNOW?

• We have several hundred different types of bacteria, weighing up to 2kg, resident in our intestinal tract, some live permanently in the gut, while others pass through, servicing the system as they go. The speed at which foods are processed and passed out of the body as stools is pivotal; the quicker this process happens, the less time there is for putrefaction and undesirable bacterial overgrowth in the intestines.

• Health digestion of foods should ideally be complete within 24 hours. If there is an imbalance of bacteria or lack of dietary fibre, this transit time can increase to 72 hours, and beyond.

Angels - As Explained by Children

I only know the names of two angels. Hark and Harold. --Gregory, 5

Everybody's got it all wrong. Angels don't wear halos anymore. I forget why, but scientists are working on it. -- Olive, 9

It's not easy to become an angel! First, you die. Then you go to heaven, then there's still the flight training to go through. And then you got to agree to wear those angel clothes. --Matthew, 9

Angels work for God and watch over kids when God has to go do something else. --Mitchell, 7

My guardian angel helps me with math, but he's not much good for Science. --Henry, 8

Angels don't eat, but they drink milk from Holy Cows! --Jack, 6

Angels talk all the way while they're flying you up to heaven. The main subject is where you went wrong before you go dead. --Daniel, 9

When an angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and counts to ten. And when he lets out his breath, somewhere there's a tornado. --Reagan, 10

Angels have a lot to do and they keep very busy. If you lose a tooth, an angel comes in through your window and leaves money under your pillow. Then when it gets cold, angels go south for the winter. --Sara, 6

Angels live in cloud houses made by God and his son, who's a very good carpenter. --Jared , 8

All angels are girls because they gotta wear dresses and boys didn't go for it.--Antonio, 9

My angel is my grandma who died last year. She got a big head start on helping me while she was still down here on earth. --Katelynn, 9

Some of the angels are in charge of helping heal sick animals and pets. And if they can't make the animals better, they help the child get over it. --Vicki, 8

What I don't get about angels is why, when someone is in love, they shoot arrows at them. --Sarah, 7
