Margarine different from butter. Butter comes from animal fats, while margarine from plant fat. Usually, butter fat contains more saturated fats or saturated (for 66 percent) than fat or unsaturated fats unsaturated (34 percent). For some people, shunned because of saturated fats affect high cholesterol in the body.

 

Margarine healthier. Studies involving more than 70 000 people are clearly showing the benefits of margarine products to lower cholesterol than butter.

New Benefit A cup of coffee

Many people avoid drinking coffee because it is dangerous for the health of the body. Whereas in a cup of coffee there are also other benefits that many people do not know.

After Kiva Han, the first coffee shop opened in Turkey in 1445, is now a similar shop grow like mushrooms in the rainy season. Every mall, businesses, and even educational institutes in the country to find the cafes that serve the coffee. This phenomenon is not confined to Indonesia but the world! Imagine a day in humans on this planet to spend 1.5 billion cups of coffee each day.

Most people think coffee is a drink that could bring disaster in the days ahead. Can cause high blood pressure, heart, stomach ulcers, and even drink coffee myth will make intelligence capabilities down.

However, some recent research found that coffee, there were also benefited.

In a cup of coffee, there is a chemical compound called caffeine. These substances that cause heart pounding faster, excessive anxiety, and shaking hands. Depending on the sensitivity of each person. Some new drink some already feel it, there's a new drinking glasses bergelas feel it.

Choose the decaf coffee, because it tastes good and antioxidant levels are also quite a lot, almost the same as regular coffee. In addition, avoid coffee also in pregnant women, persons suffering from heart disease, and people who have the disorder or gastric ulcer.

Prevent Diabetes With Milk

This conclusion was drawn from 10 years to a study of 3000 respondents. They were then divided into two groups. First is the group who consumed various types of dairy products and the second group did not consume dairy at all. The result, the first group to have insulin resistance 70 percent lower.

What is insulin resistance? Insulin resistance is a condition in which decreased insulin sensitivity and makes our blood sugar levels are not balanced or excess blood sugar. Generally the obese or overweight, characterized by increased insulin resistance.

Protein in milk will help keep your immune. While the fat content will also make us feel satisfied. Enjoy also the other nutrients from dairy products is also useful, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

Let prevent diabetes by:

One. Consuming two servings of low-fat milk every day. Each portion will deduct the excess insuli resistance up to 20%.

2. Do exchange. Choose dairy products, rather than high carb snacks and low in fiber, such as soft drinks, candy, or fast food.

3. Accompany the milk with fruit, vegetables and whole wheat. We can add fresh fruit pieces in yogurt for breakfast. Or low-fat cheese melt on top of whole wheat bread.

Come Tube Calcium since Early

Osteoporosis is common in those who are elderly. However, we recommend an early age you start to anticipate it by consuming enough calcium.

Bone is useful to protect organs in the body. Bone name "woven" is taken from forms such as woven, until after the birth of bone called "lamellar". The bones begin to grow since the womb. When a baby is born, the number of bones is 350 units. But as adults, the amount of bone has been reduced to 206 units.

Because there are bones that connect to one another, forming a stronger bone.

 

Can be imagined if the body has no bones, just a pile of meat in the human body.

Bone consists of hard substances such as stone, namely calcium. But unlike the dead stone, bone, life, flexible, and grow. After the child is born, the process of bone growth influenced the growth hormone and calcium.

Calcium is a mineral that most numerous in the body, which is around 1.5 to 2 percent of adult body weight or approximately as much as 1 kg, and about 99 percent of the calcium present in hard tissues of the bones and teeth. Calcium is needed of all ages. Not just for the elderly, but also at the age of the children. In children, it is very high calcium needs. "The growth of bone in children occur from zero to 18 years, but the peak of physical growth of children occurs when a child of school age, which is around 8-15 years.

Bones continue to grow and reached a peak in adult time. However, gender differences also play a role in the formation of bone mass. In young women shorter span of time of growth, ie before menstruation, while for boys a longer period of growth.

Girls who grow up, accommodating more bone mass at the inner cortex, which supports trabecular, forming a debriefing of calcium as inventory when pregnant and breastfeeding.

Whereas in boys, more bone mass collected on the outer cortex. The bigger the diameter, then the bones are also stronger.

In this growth process, also occurred compaction process of the bone, where bone compaction process depends on normal levels of reproductive hormones, beta exposure to ultraviolet (UVB) short of the morning and afternoon sun (Vitamin D), calcium intake, vitamin K, the sport at the age of puberty, and lifestyle.

Stimulation can be integrated from the inside that is by ensuring a complete and balanced nutrition properly, especially the intake of calcium to support bone growth and strength. Meanwhile, the stimulation from the outside can be either physical activity or exercise that serves to help bone density. Such as exercising 30 minutes a day for three times a week, like walking or running.

 

Parental attention and effort are needed, because if malnutrition in this stage will not be irreplaceable. Therefore, calcium is important for future savings from an early age until age 30.

Saving can be done by fulfilling the calcium intake of calcium contained in milk or other supplementary food such as cheese.

Osteoporosis is not a problem child, but a matter of the future, but the root problem is the children. That is why it is important to pay attention to nutrition, especially calcium intake of children so that they avoided the issue of bone density in later old age. So, start to get children to save calcium by eating nutritious foods and adequate calcium intake.

Red Rice Lower Diabetes Risk

Consumption of brown rice was not only used for weight loss, a new study shows, red rice powerful tool to reduce the risk of developing diabetes.

Rice is the staple food most Indonesian people. When harvested, the skin is still covered with rice husks (epicarp). Rice is also wrapped by the inner skin or epidermis (aleurone and pericarp). Subsequently harvested rice grain through the stages of drying and threshing, and splitting the skin, and milling.

 

The rice that we eat everyday or white rice is generally derived from rice that has been milled. Grain milling yield of paddy rice in the net without the epidermis. This makes rice exfoliation become fluffier when cooked, but it eliminates most of the nutrients contained in rice.

Brown rice is generally mixed with crushed or broken skin. This makes the skin red arinya still intact. In the epidermis there is protein, vitamins, minerals, fat, and fiber are very important for the body.

 

Replacing white rice in your diet with red rice can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. This extremely important discovery because the white rice consumption in the United States has increased dramatically in recent decades.

 

Recorded, approximately 18 million Americans suffer from diabetes type 2. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health states, eating two or more servings of brown rice for a week apparently associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes. On the other hand they reported eating five or more servings of white rice for a week associated with an increased risk of same disease.

 

Replacing 50 grams per day of white rice (not cooked, the equivalent of one to three tablespoons) with equal amounts of red rice will reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 16 percent.

 

While replacing white rice with the same portion with other grains such as barley and wheat, is associated with a 36 percent decreased risk of diabetes. This study will be published online in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine. The researchers say this is the first study to specifically compare the white rice with brown rice in relation to increased risk of type 2 diabetes in the United States citizens.

 

White rice husk is made by removing the skin and parts of red rice seedlings. The researchers suggested that more than 70 percent of the rice eaten in the United States is a kind of white.

 

After adjusting for age and other lifestyle problems and dietary risk factors, men who consumed five or more servings per week of white rice has a 17 percent increased risk of diabetes, compared with those who ate less than one serving per month. However, eating two or more servings per week of red rice proved to be 11 percent lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, compared with eating less than one serving of brown rice per month.

 

Another consequence of the purification process, including the loss of fiber, vitamins, magnesium and other minerals, such as lignans, phytoestrogens, and phytic acid, which may be a protective factor for risk of diabetes.

Replacing white rice and other refined grains with brown rice to prevent type 2 diabetes. Red rice, the researchers said, are often not quickly produce elevated levels of blood sugar after a meal.

Beef micronutrient deficiency Abatement

Nutrition problems are not only experienced by people with low income status, but also many people with middle to high incomes who still experience the problem of nutrition. It could be due to lack of knowledge of what kind of balanced nutrition that should be obtained by any person.

 

One of the problems are fairly balanced nutrition often occurs, including micronutrients. Micronutrient is our body's nutritional needs are not directly we feel the consequences.

 

While the WHO global data (2000) shows, the world's undernourished population of nearly 3 billion micro, where residents are experiencing due to iron deficiency anemia is as much as 2 billion, and most who suffer are children. Other data from the world health agency, WHO says, any one of three people in developing countries suffer from lack of vitamins and minerals.

Sarah said, although not happen directly, but many parents who transmit the bad influences in eating healthy foods to their children. Not familiar with such foods with balanced nutrition.

 

Although micronutrients needed by the body in very small amounts, but by no means be underestimated due to micronutrient deficiencies micronutrients if we can have a negative impact on health.

 

To avoid the lack of intake of micronutrients, one of which can be done by eating beef without fat. Though, with the consumption of beef without the fat, the nutrients in the case of iron can be fulfilled as long as children are consumed in sufficient quantity and balanced, not less and not excessive.

Fresh meat consumption standards set by the world food organizations (FAO) in 2008 to fight malnutrition, which is 33 kg / year / capita. While the data in 2007 from the Directorate General of Livestock, Ministry of Agriculture Indonesia, indicates that the average consumption of fresh beef Indonesian population is only about 0.53 kg / year / capita, where the figure is very low than the recommended standard.

 

Some reasons for lack of or low meat intake in children in Indonesia, among the children who think less like eating beef for reasons difficult to chew (tough / hard). Even some of the reasons of the mother also mentioned that cooking beef requires a long time.

Consuming 122 grams of beef per day to meet the needs of iron. In order to obtain equal benefits, we must consume 7.9 kg of fish.

Children who experience iron deficiency as one micronutrient can cause a decline in intelligence of emotional intelligence as well. In addition, it also can lead to decreasing levels of hemoglobin, which is a chemical compound in red blood cells that function to carry oxygen throughout the body, which we are familiar with anemia.

Consumption of meat in the period of much-needed growth. But if excessive, especially for girls, could result in periods come faster. Women who ate the meat at the time the children will tend to menstruate earlier, so the research quoted in Public Health Nutrition, UK.

Researchers from the UK to compare with the diet by more than 3000 children aged 12 years. In the study noted that girls who eat meat in large quantities at the age of three years (more than eight servings per week) and at the age of 7 years (12 servings), closely associated with early puberty.

Meat diet can make the body ready for pregnancy and trigger early puberty. In the 20th century, the average age girls start menstruating younger adolescents.

This condition is expected to occur because better nutrition and increased levels of obesity, which affect the hormones. In the latest study, the team used data from a group of children seen from the date of birth.

At the age of 12 years eight months, they divide the group of girls who have started menstruating and those who have not. Then compared with the diet they were doing at the age of three, seven, and 10 years, researchers found that eating meat at a young age has strong links to early menstruation.

In fact, eating meat at age seven years to improve early changes as much as 75 percent of menstruating at the age of 12 years, than those who ate meat at an older age. However, this finding was not based on weight. This study reinforce previous studies showing that girls have a greater weight to menstruate earlier than the lean.

Menstrual periods at an early age is closely linked with an increased risk of breast cancer, possibly because women have a greater level of estrogen throughout their lives. However, the researchers emphasize girls do not have to reduce their consumption of meat like excessive eating meat.

Children aged seven years categorized largest meat eating, spending 12 servings in a week, and children aged three years who have more than eight servings. Weight loss is not the only factor causing the girl to menstruate earlier than average age. He added that the meat is a good source of iron, and much needed during pregnancy.

Communication Fuels Successful Businesses

We all know that communication is critical to our success, yet it seems that the majority of our society, in business or otherwise, has developed critically impaired communication skills. We all seem to be busier, yet busy is still often an excuse. When something as important to us, being busy doesn't get in the way.
Text messaging is a great convenience; so is email, yet both have played a major role in decreasing our ability to communicate beyond snippets and incomplete information.

Our company is growing rapidly, with business increasingly being found through referrals, Internet searches and advertising. The majority of those that respond to us seek advice to establish a price for work that isn't defined, such as a business plan with no details on the business, market, etc. Of course, if it was in the best interest of our client to fit them all into the same template plan, so a restaurant looks just like a new breakthrough technology, it would be a lot easier to respond to their question: “what does a plan cost?”

We off a free phone consult because we want to help entrepreneurs and business owners, but also because we need information to know how we can help, whether it’s developing a business plan to raise capital or an introduction to strategic partners to drive sales or raise capital. After an initial consultation and often many more conversations, many prospective clients decide they would like to move forward and ask for a proposal. While I'll always believe in sincerity in communications, at least 80% of those that ask for and receive the proposal it takes time and costs for my assistant/I to prepare don't proceed.

Why do they ask for the proposal then I wonder? Certainly things change day to day balancing of business and family, let alone financial responsibilities. Those types of changes are always understood , even when they choose another consulting firm or a lone wolf consultant. What is not understood is the lack of common courtesy in communication that has evolved over time. Clearly our parents and grandparents understood this principle of communication, the courtesy of closure and why, in even 2-3 concise and direct sentences beginning with “No I am not interested anymore. I can't proceed as I thought I was going to because ...”

If you are still reading this, perhaps this Blog could be considered a rant of sorts. Aside from my experience in communication, the positive flip side is that the most successful clients are virtually always the best communicators. They understand the value of time and respect that. Scheduling calls for what they feel is important, namely starting a new business or growing an existing business is something they understand. They believe in mutual respect in all regards, including communication in all forms, which enhances all the relationship in growing their business and how they communicate.

So many among us have become oversensitive and have difficulty in saying “no” or offering advice if things have changed that was a basis of conversations and/or a proposal. Others, like me, hope never to stop learning and part of that is understanding people, their decisions and why they were made. If I am not going to move forward to grow my company is some respect, like launching a new web site with new partners from among the 100+ domains we own, I believe my staff or a potential website partner is entitled to know why.

Again, communication fuels success and is a common courtesy we all deserve.
