It causes a high pleasure and makes you feel so much better than before. Helps you when you feel down or when you want to use them in a romantic atmosphere and who doesn’t love chocolate?<br />
<br />
You can find it almost everywhere, in different shapes and combinations, but did you know that eating it can positively affect your health? Of course, we are talking now about the dark chocolate, not about the other types loaded with sugar. Having in its ingredients cocoa tree ‘s seed, this is one of the best sources of antioxidants that you can find. Let's see some positive aspects that you can enjoy after eating this ailment.<br />
<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXY-2HnPpArfwbjiFfsW41zrUSEmC03XBNOxKpXrr8kdnissADdyV_VT5ghhpZe6u6XS24eodxgzuGDoMgJW0m2ZMpYhngbf0NfKUO-3mlF52XwUXHSXM9aRJwiOs43MoRIWFeanNzTE4/s1600/Dark-chocolate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="276" data-original-width="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXY-2HnPpArfwbjiFfsW41zrUSEmC03XBNOxKpXrr8kdnissADdyV_VT5ghhpZe6u6XS24eodxgzuGDoMgJW0m2ZMpYhngbf0NfKUO-3mlF52XwUXHSXM9aRJwiOs43MoRIWFeanNzTE4/s1600/Dark-chocolate.jpg" /></a></div>
The chocolate with a high cocoa content is very nutritious, having minerals, fiber, potassium, zinc and selenium. Some stimulants such as caffeine and theobromine are between dark chocolate ingredients but don’t worry; it is not as effective as coffee so you can sleep at night after eating it. There were some researched that proved how much antioxidant this has( catechins, flavanols, polyphenols) and that it appears to be more than blueberries(which are known for being full of antioxidants).Even if it is tasty and good for you, it is recommended to not eat in a large amount but moderation. Many studies showed the beneficial impact on the blood pressure ( the flavanols stimulates the endothelium to produce nitric oxide that relaxes the arteries) and the blood flow.<br />
<br />
If you plan to go on summer holiday, you may consider taking with you chocolate because the flavanols will protect against sunburns and also helps with the hydration, therefore it is a friend for your skin. Some researchers showed that improves verbal fluency in elder people, reduces factors for illnesses and also helps the blood flow to the brain. More than that, it is useful for the cardiovascular diseases, but it should be consumed in moderation. When you choose what to buy, take a look at the labels and try to avoid cheap and a lot of sugar added, you can find organic chocolate and always remember that 70 % or higher cocoa is the healthiest. Sadly it still has many calories, so it is not recommended to be eaten in large amounts, and of course, the best way is to enjoy in little pieces.All in all, we love chocolate, and it is so much better to know we can have so many advantages while we are eating it and let's face it, the reason we try it in the first place, it is the amazing taste and flavor.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01865359111627660420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666496233186514792.post-43748783051395502562017-10-15T07:25:00.000-07:002017-10-15T07:25:13.162-07:00Ginseng: Ashwagandha Health Benefits and Side EffectsIndian ginseng, also known as winter cherry or Ashwagandha, is a herb used in an Indian based alternative medicine and has been used for over three thousand years for a variety of issues that improve the functions of the body as well as the brain. Ginseng is a small shrub, and the extracts or powders from the plant’s root or leaves are used for different conditions. Most of its health benefits being attributed to a chemical compound found in the plant, withanolides, which has exhibited medicinal properties that fight inflammations and even tumor growth.<br />

For people who have a problem with high blood sugar levels studies using ginseng have shown to help reduce those levels in affected as well as in healthy people. One research with people who have type 2 diabetes has been demonstrated that ginseng can be as effective as their usual diabetes medication.<br />
Another possible health benefit of ginseng but which has no human studies, though the results of animal and test-tube research have been promising, is the ability to promote the death of tumor cells. These studies have shown that the herb could be beneficial in treating an array of different kind of cancers.<br />
<br />
Ginseng is best known for its use in reducing stress, and it does this by lowering cortisol levels, which is a stress hormone, especially in people known to be affected by chronical stress. Beside stress decrease, it also has shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety disorders as well. There is also limited research that supports the possibility of ginseng helping to minimize severe depression, a study in adults showing a decrease of 79%.<br />
If low testosterone is the issue, then ginseng can help boost its levels in men as well as women. Studies in men have shown that taking supplements of ginseng can increase fertility by increasing sperm count and quality. Besides this, the supplement had also shown promise when it came to muscle mass increase, body fat reduction and strength in men.<br />
<br />
Studies in humans have shown that intake of ginseng helped with the activity of immune cells that fight off infections and keep us healthy. It also has demonstrated a reduction of a marker which has been associated with heart disease. In addition to the above, our heart health is also improved by a cholesterol and triglyceride level drop.<br />
<br />
Another frequent use of ginseng is for brain function and memory improvement. Although human studies in this area are limited, those performed had shown significant results when it came to reaction time as well as task performance.<br />
<br />
Although ginseng is safe for most people, there are some that should talk to a doctor before taking this supplement or thinking of increasing their dosage. People affected by autoimmune diseases, for example, should avoid this supplement unless prescribed by a doctor. Seeing how ginseng can affect hormone levels (testosterone), it is best that people affected by diseases involving hormones, like thyroid disease, to be careful when taking it.<br />
<br />
The bottom line is that this traditional herb has shown to present a variety of health benefits. Of course, some people should be careful about taking this supplement and talk to a doctor beforehand, but for those that know that they don’t have any medical problems that it can conflict with ginseng’s benefits could improve our health and life.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01865359111627660420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666496233186514792.post-37997909441129443912017-10-09T07:59:00.000-07:002017-10-09T08:00:00.727-07:00Avocado: Healthy Eating or Hype?Nowadays we are trying to eat healthy food, to exercise and do all the things that will improve our lives. Avocado is one of those fruits that offers us a lot of benefits and also has a good taste. They have almost 20 vitamins and minerals such as folate(very good during pregnancy ), lutein (help with the eyes problems) and potassium( is good for blood pressure).An excellent source of vitamins C and E, avocados also give you the vitamins B which is very good in preventing and treating infection and disease. They are suitable for those who want to lose weight too because they contain fiber and that is how helps you feel no hunger for a longer time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Even if they are high in fat, it is good to know that this fat is monosaturated and helps with decreasing of the cholesterol. Most of the fruits have a lot of carbohydrates, but this one is a very different type, being full of healthy fats. Studies showed how beneficial could be for our health, here are some of them:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>It is a very nutritious fruit and can be added to many kinds of foods because of its excellent texture and nice flavor. Due to its health properties, lately it has become a trendy food, and many people call it a super-food.</li>
<li>It is very high in potassium (that nutrient that we all need but many of us cannot get enough from alimentation) and many types of research show that it helps with kidney, heart attacks, and blood pressure.</li>
<li>Is full of healthy fats and mostly is an oleic acid which has some significant effects in some cancer genes, reduce inflammation.</li>
<li>Has many fibers in its composition and that can help a lot with weight loss and lower blood sugar.</li>
<li>Helps with fighting against heart disease. Some studies were made, and the results were excellent showing that eating avocado can: increase the good cholesterol, reduces blood triglycerides and helps in preventing heart issues.</li>
<li>They are full of antioxidants that can protect eyes. Avocado has some nutrients called zeaxanthin and lutein which can reduce cataracts and macular degradation(which are very common with the old people). Therefore this can help with eye health for an extended period.</li>
<li>Avocado is delicious and easy to introduce it into your diet. Their rich, creamy texture can be mix very well with other ingredients. You can eat the simple as they are, or you can add them to many kinds of recipes or salads.</li>
<li>Help you lose weight. In this time, when diets are all over the place, and we don’t know what to eat, how to combine better the food to maintain us thin and healthy, avocado can be a wise choice. Very low in carb but very high in fiber, they are wonderful because they keep you full for a long time and at the same time they taste pretty good.</li>
<li>May help with the cancer prevention. There is not too much evidence with this, but some studies showed that it could reduce those awful effects that chemotherapy has on humans body.</li>
</ul>
<br />

a sequence of events that happen to the
body when a person becomes excited. This sequence
is called the sexual response cycle, and
it’s divided into four parts: excitement,
plateau, orgasm, and resolution. The
phases have no separation between them. Orgasm is
reached for men during the first part and for women might take 15
minutes more or even longer. During these phases,
the pulse rates grow, and muscle from
hips, thighs, hands, and buttocks began
tense. Blood pressure rises, and
endorphins, oxytocin, and prolactin are released in the body at the
maximum point.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="1"></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
The steps in the making of the hummus are also very similar: the boiled chickpeas, tahini pasta, salt, garlic, and a little bit of lemon juice, are to be added in the food processor and mixed until you get a thin or coarser paste, depending on your preferences. If you want the paste to be thinner and finer, you can add some extra water or vegetable broth to your ingredients in the processor. You need to leave the hummus paste cool down completely before consuming it, by keeping it either in the refrigerator or covered in a cold space of your kitchen.<br />
<br />
The Lebanese recipe of hummus adds extra to the main ingredients, ground coriander, cumin, and black pepper. In the Lebanese tradition, hummus is usually used as an appetizer or as a side dish for meats.<br />

In the Moroccan cuisine, a traditional dish of hummus is the one made with carrots. The carrots are boiled very well and added cut in pieces together with the other ingredients in the food processor. The Moroccan hummus with carrots has a sweeter more subtle flavor, and it is also used as an appetizer together with salads and other typical Mediterranean and Berber dishes.<br />
<br />
In Cairo, and other parts of Egypt, as well as in some Greek islands of the Aegean Sea, hummus is prepared with fava beans instead of chickpeas. Fava is a type of bean that is sweeter than chickpeas and also has a more watery texture. In Santorini, hummus is prepared from the particular fava beans that grow just on the volcanic soil of the island. It is usually garnished with fresh thyme leaves and sprinkled with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil for extra flavor.<br />
<br />
In all the recipes presented above, you can either use the fresh beans, soaked in water overnight so that you will not need to boil them for hours, or you can use the simpler version of the canned chickpeas, this way the time of preparation of the hummus dish being under one hour. When choosing the tahini paste you should also make sure that it does not have any other types of oils added, and you could choose preferably a type of tahini that is organic for extra flavor and an extra boost in your health.<br />
