Food and How It Can Age You or Preserve

   Posted by: Dr. Jerimiah Crossderd   in Health and Well Being

The acai fruit berry is one of the worlds most powerfully nutritious foods. Harvested from a special palm tree in the Brazilian rain forest, this purple fruit holds the magic of the Amazon.

Acai fruit is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids. It was classified as the #1 super food by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, a dermatologist who has written several books on weight loss and maintaining a youthful appearance.

The acai fruit has in it the following:

Enough antioxidant concentration to help fight premature aging and more than 10 times more than red grapes and 30 times more than red wine.

A nearly perfect vital amino acid complex combined with important trace minerals, both critical to proper muscle contraction and regeneration

The perfect blend of healthy fats, fiber for your diet, and nutrients that help lower cholesterol help promote that digestive system

Research has shown that antioxidants should be an essential part of every human diet. They are known to protect the body’s cells from the damage done by free radicals

Free radicals are harmful substances that the body produces when breaking down some foods. They are also created from environmental pollutants such as tobacco smoke or radiation. They can damage cells, and have been linked to cancer, heart disease, and other diseases.

The antioxidants found in the acai fruit help restore health and can prevent future disease. Acai fruit is rich in vitamins A and B and has the protein content of an egg.

The fatty acid content in the acai fruit is similar to that of olive oil. It is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid aids omega-3 fish oils in penetrating the cell membrane. The blend helps keep the cell membranes supple. This allows all hormones, neurotransmitters, and insulin receptors to function more efficiently.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a strong source of food that contains all the essential nutrients the body requires then look no further than the acai fruit. Look for organic quality acai products as they have the most power.

Spectacular Views Await On The Bike Trails In Idaho

   Posted by: Pat J Williams   in Health and Well Being

by Pat J Williams

There are over 19,000 miles of bike trails in the state of Idaho. In an area thats known for its mountains and rivers, you can expect some spectacular riding! Because of harder winters and wet springs, the best time to ride is usually summer or early fall. Here are a variety of trails that Idaho has to offer for riders of every skill level.

Beginners may want to start on an 11-mile loop not far from Pocatello. This trail-referred to as the Valve or Pump House Trail in the Mink Creek Recreation Area-is a long simple trek that can help build riding endurance without too many technical challenges. Don’t forget to bring water, though, and stay hydrated.

If you want to get a great view of the nearby Saw Tooth Mountains, ride up on the 12-mile loop by Stanley called Elk Mountain. The climb isn’t too difficult, you’ll cross a few streams, and then the downhill route is pretty rocky going down to Elk Meadows, but overall it’s a good trail for intermediate bikers. And the scenery and views are fabulous.

Goose Creek Falls is the perfect ride for the nature lover. You dont have to too experienced to enjoy this ride. Its a 12-mile track near McCall that takes you back to 45-foot waterfall. You will have to actually cross Goose Creek a couple of times either by a bridge, a log crossing, or on foot. Other than that, theres not too much complexity about the trail. You can even camp nearby.

If you’re looking for something a bit more challenging, the well maintained trails at the Schweitzer Mountain Resort may be just the ticket. These 25 miles of intermediate to advanced trails include bridges, berms, turns, and other challenges, and the descent is particularly tricky. You can even get a ride to the top and then just concentrate all your energy on the going down part.

Adventure lovers who can’t go fast enough will have a blast at the Bald Mountain Downhill Trail. Located not far from Ketchum, this is one huge hill with an increase in elevation measuring 3,000 to 4,000 feet. You can bike the entire 10-mile loop if you have the energy, but if you’re more into the descent and the race downhill, consider taking the chairlift to the top for just $15. Be careful of hikers and other bikers coming down, and make sure your bike has a full suspension for this trail. You’ll also want to have extra tubes and a repair kit in your backpack because you just might need them.

The Bear Pete trail near McCall is another burning-kick-in-the-seat-of-the-pants ride! It is approximately 19 miles, but you are rewarded with a hot springs resort at the end and a lot of gorgeous views along the way. The best time to go is in late summer or early fall, when its fairly dry. You will pass through a boggy area and during the wet season it could be practically impassable. Theres a pretty steep climb followed by a tricky descent, but once you get to the top you can see all the way to Oregon and the Saw Tooth Mountains!

Idaho’s bike trails offer adventure and awesome views of the mountains, valleys, rivers, and waterfalls. The natural beauty is unsurpassed, and bike riders of all experience levels will love biking in this state. Just select the trail that is best suited to your experience level and enjoy the ride!

Learn Spanish Quick – From Beginner to Expert

   Posted by: Martina Chavez   in Internet

by Martina Chavez

Learn Spanish words – anyone can do this with absolute ease. Did you know that Spanish is considered one of the easiest languages to learn. In this article, let me give you a quick introduction to some very useful phrases that you can start to use today.

Fortunately for we Spanish language beginner students who can’t afford the time or the money to take a class in college, audio courses provide a wonderful “substitute teacher” for the language. You can find a good audio course for less than the price of a single college course. Plus, you can take your course with you to the gym, put it in your car, or even play it while you’re sleeping in order to increase retention.

My Name Is: The next phrase is: “me llamo”. For example, I would say “me llamo Chris” which means “my name is Chris”. The “me” is pronounced as “muh”. Like the word “mutt” but without the “tt” sound. “Llamo” is pronounced as “ya-mo”. The “mo” part sounds like “mow” as in “mow the grass”.

Por Favor: Por favor means “please”. You should always add this to the end when you ask for anything in a store or to a waiter. e.g. “Coke, por favor”. It is pronounced “por fa-vor”. The “fa” sound is very short, so the emphasis is on the “por” and the “vor” sounds. “Por” sounds the same as the English word “poor”. “Fa” sounds like “fat” without the “t”. “Vor” is a bit more tricky. It sounds a bit like a combination between an English “b” and “v” sound, but more like a “v”.

But perhaps the most important aspect of these courses is that you can learn the proper pronunciation in a way you can’t do with a written manual. And even if you took a class under an experienced instructor, you would only get him or her for a couple of hours out of the week.

But with an audio course, it’s easy for the Spanish language beginner to learn the pronunciation, because you can hear the sound of the words 24 hours a day if you like (although it’s not normally recommended…)

Stopping Common Indoor Bugs

   Posted by: Owen Jones   in Hints and Tips

by Owen Jones

The common indoor bugs we see anywhere in the world are flies, spiders, fleas and beetles. No-one likes to have a bug indoors, so most people go to just about any extremes to eradicate these common indoor bugs. Less common indoor bugs may be woodlice, earwigs, scorpions and millipedes or centipedes, although they are no less unwelcome.

No matter where you live in the world, it can be very hard to keep these common indoor bugs outside, unless you go to the extremes of keeping all your windows and doors closed all of the time, which is quite impossible. I now live in Thailand and I know for certain that this is not an option.

So, just what can you do about it? Well, let’s sort out all the flying bugs first, as of all the common indoor bugs, I think they are the most unpleasant indoor bug. They are very irritating, buzzing around your head and mosquitoes and other flies can create painful sores and besides that, all flies carry disease. I cannot bear to see them walking on food, knowing that they have more than likely just come off some dung heap somewhere and now they are spitting on my food in order to taste it with their dirty feet!

My first line of defence is fine-mesh door and widow screens. They are not expensive and can be added retrospectively to any window. My window meshes slide, so they can protect only one half of a window at a any one time, but I do not think that’s a problem. You can still set up cross-winds, by opening two or more windows at opposite ends of a room. I just love to see the flies on the mesh trying to get in by day and the mosquitoes doing the same by night. At night, it is wise to turn on as little light indoors as possible so as not to draw these common indoor insects.

My second line of defence is natural predators – lizards, like Geckos (Jin Jok, in Thai). Some people don’t like them in the house much either and I can’t say that I’m all that keen on them indoors myself, but they are difficult to keep outside and they do eat hundreds, if not thousands, of indoor bugs every day. I particularly like to see them lying in wait on the outside of the mesh, ready to pounce on any bug trying to struggle its way through the wires.

My third line of defence is a handheld bug zapper. You know, the electric, handheld bug zapper that looks like a child’s tennis racquet. The come in two forms: battery and rechargeable kinds. They are fantastic at trapping and destroying any flying bug. The bug literally explodes and vaporizes on contact with the fully-charged wires of the indoor bug zapper. If you haven’t tried using one, you really ought to. They are most gratifying. These three defences will keep your house quite much free of flies.

The creeping common indoor bugs are not so much of a problem really. Door screens on springs will keep 99% of them out and the Geckos will help too. Spiders can get in pretty very easily, but then, I don’t mind them too much as long as they keep out of my way, as they consume other insects too. They are on our side really. However, for those who can not bear to trap them and throw them outside, the handheld indoor bug zapper works a treat on spiders too.

Fleas can be a problem, if you have cats or dogs, but then if you wash or dust the animal once a month, you should be able to keep those common indoor bugs under control fairly easily. However, there are two final methods that we employ. Once a week, before we go out for the day, we spray every room with fly killer and every six-months we spray any rugs or carpets with an insect killer containing permethrin, which will survive washing and vacuuming for that long without losing its ability to kill common indoor bugs on contact. If you stick with these measures, you will be able to keep your home or office quite free of the most common indoor bugs and any less common indoor bug as well.
