A horrible reality: Fast food advertisements and reality

My six year old is very attracted to advertisements but thank God not those of food because he is not such a lover of food outside home, and I know many are really pulled by what they see and to many it plays a major role in decision making.

Recipe Ideas with left over wines

Making good use of leftover wines.

After a nice party with family and friends and you find yourself with some left over wines, what do you do? Drink?

I do not drink wine but a times have been in the same situation with just a little wine sitting there for ages.
Here are some ideas for that wine especially now in times of recession we do not throw nothing.
Think of a simple easy pasta with grated Parmesan cheese, butter and fresh herbs, a splash of wine would do miracles to the serving.

Use left over white or red wine to enhance flavour for your meat dishes (I especially love white wine with chicken + rosemary and garlic) Mmmm...yummy you find the recipe in this blog.

With red wine I also posted in this blog beef marinated in left over red wine.

Not to mention with fish!

An all time favourite: Chicken, beef or vegetable curry

From my Thai recipes I have posted in the past here is how you go on with this dish

Beef Pa-naeng (beef in dry Red curry)

Living in Thailand. Like the Italian cooking I think that with Thai cooking you get a few basics and then you are set to vary in different ways. With my Thai cooking I gained after doing my cooking class in Chiangmai way back in year 2002, was full of surprises and new adventures. I had just got married the year earlier and it was fun travelling far away after I had left my mother country just a year earlier.
Little did I know that a year later we would move to Thailand for my husbands work and live there for the following 2 years.

Ingredients:
250g Coconut Milk
160g Pa-naeng or red curry paste (I use one spoonful- as thai food is usually hot make sure you dose this according level of support of hot chilli)
650g Beef tenderloin, thinly sliced
35g Fish sauce
30g brown sugar
30g finely crushed peanut or chunky peanut butter
6g Kaffir lime leaves, thinly sliced
20g red chilli peppers, thinly sliced lengthwise (I use capsicum as it is meant for garnish)

-Mix the coconut milk with the red curry paste in a sauce pan. Heat the mixture and stir until it forms bubbles.
-Lower the heat and continue stirring the mixture until the red oil surfaces.
-Add sliced beef in the hot curry mixture . Raise the heat, add fish sauce and sugar. When beef is almost done , add crushed peanuts. Lower the heat and cook the beef until it is done and the sauce becomes thick.
-At this point, more fish sauce and sugar can be added if needed. The regular taste trend of this dish is the balance between saltiness and sweetness.
-Garnish the curry with the thinly sliced red chilli peppers (I use here capsicum)and kaffir lime leaves.
Serve with steamed rice.
Note: Thai meals are served not in courses but various dishes at the same time all with steamed rice.


With this base you can make all sorts of curries varying only the ingredients. Shrimps, vegetables of your choice just a little creativity in your Kitchen and dinner is served

Excessive weight or obesity has been linked to prostate cancer risk.

From the web:
Much research has been done on how foods could affect risk of prostate cancer.

From foodconsumer.org

What is gall bladder?
The gallbladder or gall bladder is a small non-vital organ that aids in the digestive process and stores bile produced in the liver.

What is bile?
Bile or gall is a bitter yellowish, blue and green fluid secreted by hepatocytes from the liver of most vertebrates. In many species, bile is stored in the gallbladder between meals and upon eating is discharged into the duodenum where the bile aids the process of digestion of lipids by emulsification.


HealthDay News -- Gallstones are stones of varied sizes that form in the gallbladder, and are usually composed of cholesterol or excess bilirubin in the bile. Some gallstones cause no symptoms, while others can cause significant pain.

The U.S. National Library of Medicine offers this list of gallstone warning signs:

- Pain that occurs in the upper-right or upper-middle abdominal area. It may come and go, and may be more noticeable after you eat.
- Pain that spreads to the back or beneath the right shoulder blade.
- Pain that feels dull, crampy or sharp.
- Pain accompanied by fever or jaundice (yellowing of eyes and skin).
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Passing stools the color of clay.

If you notice some of these signs then see a doctor.
What can I change in my diet
Good Foods for the Gallbladder includes fresh vegetable juices if you can do it fresh for your self the better.
Vegetable juices especially Beet and cucumber are good for gallbladder
Other green vegetables celery, carrots try to avoid cabbages (source web)

Diet food: Eating healthy and keeping yourself slim

Recession has been with us for a year now but although recession left households without extra money to enjoy like they would like it brought together a period of eating cheaper and eating cheaper is not always eating badly.

What I have seen even myself doing is adding on more of vegetables and fruit as snacks as they relatively cost less. I have been forced to make choices that maybe I do not like but have left me eating more healthier.

In my house I have seen introduction of vegetable soup (which you can see recipes in this blog) to atleast once a week.

But looking at what is happening out there recession has not sent everyone on budget
especially the boomers as the boomers age they are looking to stay stronger and for longer. So this has contributed to the health and wellness sector exploding with new health products and services to cater to this health-conscious part of the community.

One of the major sector is the cutting of Carbs where it is quick to notice that not just boomers are prefering to make cuts on carbs but also parents with obese children.

Looking at the business side of food and nutrition even if you are not a fitness conscious like me, eating healthy food follow many simple healthy recipes in this blog and find out for yourself that there could be an easier way to keep yourself slim without necessarily spending your pocket out.

And for Moms looking for easy business in health industry like me, thousands of diet food products on the market these days, diet food has become a multi-billion dollar industry and you could easily cash on it too!

All The Secrets of Mangosteen

Author: Dane Stanton

There's a great deal of talk about mangosteen going around the health community these days. Why? Because mangosteen is a newly discovered fruit. When I say newly discovered I mean the fact that research has been done that proves all types of theories that mangosteen has the ability to heal many diseases and in fact increase people's lifespan. So what is it?
Mangosteen Fruit
Mangosteen is the fruit of a slow-growing ultra-tropical tree. It has been grown and used in Asia for centuries, but isn't easily cultivated in the Western world. When the tree is about ten years old, it begins to produce small purplish fruits. These fruits are what the buzz is about.
The fruit has two parts: a thick, purplish hull and a soft, white inner fruit. The inner fruit is prized for its delicate flavor, and it is called "The queen of fruit." It's the hull that has the most health benefits, though.
It's important to not that the actual hulls of the mangosteen don't taste anywhere near as good as the outside flesh so don't be shocked when you bite into the middle, because I told you so! It's usually a more bitter taste and you'll find that the center is where the purple juice is stored. Mangosteens are known fro having high density stores of xanthones.
Xanthones
Xanthones are nutrients that are powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants repair cell damage and improve cell function. Xanthones work on all of our body systems. They are good for brain function, heart and lung function, immune system function, muscle and joint function and digestive function. They have powerful health effects because they work at the cellular level, and they work in all of our cells.
Benefits of Mangosteen Xanthones
Most of the talk about mangosteen has been directed towards its ability to improve different areas of health. There has been a great deal of research done on mangosteen and so far every result has been promising the say the least. Individual anecdotal reports show that this fruit has real and powerful health benefits.
One of the benefits that mangosteen is said to contribute towards is the reduction of hives on people who have strong allergies. Many people who have tried fruit will tell you that their allergies have become less and less frequent ever since they started eating mangosteen. Another benefit that that researchers still aren't 100% sure about is mangosteen's potential to reduce the likelihood of people getting cancer. This information is only speculation, however many lifetime consumers of mangosteen will tell you otherwise and in fact support the argument that mangosteen does reduce the likelihood of getting cancer later in life.
One other supposed benefit is mangosteen's potential to improve respiritory infections such as asthma. This is probably one of the biggest reasons why people in the Western world have become so fanatical about Mangosteen.
Finally the last benefit that mangosteen is contributed for is its ability to improve skin strenth. You can actually get mangosteen oitment which is reasonably cheap compared to the fruit that health to heal skin marks and sores. Hives being one example.
It's important to understand that these claims haven't been proven yet; the research is still preliminary. This fruit may or may not be the cure for the common cold and cancer. However, because it definitely has the health benefits of high concentrations of antioxidants, it could make you feel better and healthier.
