Reveal yourself!

Recently I saw a program which was broadcast a report on the clubs singles in Tunisia. It described the vacation of these thirtysomethings, done professionally, which came to spend 15 days in those particular clubs to find a soul mate. Of course, others had only a merry –

Two of these thirtysomethings were particularly highlighted. A man aged 38 who was foaming these clubs for 15 years and was always alone. During these 15 days, he let go, approached the girls without too much difficulty. And we found, as in Paris, he rarely went out and had very few friends.
Another was a woman of 32 years who was also looking for a soulmate and who considered the club meetings were easier because people were more cool, more open, less closed than in Paris because of the stress of work.

Yes, it is obvious that in such a context, it is easier for some to show as they are, to release to the extent they are more relaxed, less preoccupied with their daily stress.
I do not mean, of course, those who come to these clubs only to fleeting sexual encounters. Those play a role, that of seductive lure for fresh meat.

In contrast to the former, they give the impression that, apart from holiday in Paris, their workplace, their place of living, they fail to release the pressure to show their true personality, be such that they are.
It is a pity that they should wait to be on vacation to really live. That precious time is wasted much of their lives.

It’s a shame but also sad to see this man’s story reached the age of 38, still single and has never lived with someone, then it looked very nice, very dynamic and very partygoer.
If proved, and in Paris, he went out, he would have more luck, opportunities to find the woman of his life.

One has the impression that such people more likely to cause extension of Studies and the race to professional success, compartmentalize, compartmentalize their lives to the death: Paris, for work on holiday for the amusement and “drag”.

This may raise a smile but it’s reality. Some people seem to assume various costumes following periods, the context – There my costume businessman serious and introverted, not expansive at all, then my holiday costume, authentic, real, young man cheerful, very talkative.
While it is certain that we can not exactly be at work as in life, but a gigantic difference is staggering.

People, especially the yuppies (some at least) seem formatted, made in the same mold. They have a duty to be serious at all times. They think only appear in the eyes of their colleagues, their knowledge, as gay people, this would call into question their credibility.
Now, is it not better to work with someone serious but relaxed, Zen?
Besides, strength to control, curb their true inner personality, these people end up frustrated, embittered by. And this, especially since their behavior inevitably leads to isolation from everything and everyone so that their “secret” – the person open, fun-loving simply – is not revealed.

So do not waste your life lying to others and especially to you. Do not be afraid to reveal, leaving you to reveal your true nature Assume your true personality! Then you will appear as one of true, sincere and genuine and you inevitably attract the attention on you.
Has always wanting to control it ends up being dispossessed of itself. Reveal to you to reveal to others!

Do you know Saffron?

Saffron has been known since antiquity. It is grown as a spice since. Today it is still one of the most valued spices. At the time of antiquity it was actively produced in Macedonia, Persia, Kashmir. This is when they are installed in Spain that the Arabs introduced saffron in this country.

Commerce is developing with countries in the northern Spanish saffron was introduced in France, especially in the Gatinais. This region was able to recognize the high quality of saffron produced it for two centuries and the world price of saffron were fixed at Pithiviers. (Other sources attribute to the Phoenicians introduced saffron in Gaul or the Crusaders who have returned from the Crusades).

Saffron is grown in warmer regions but not in the tropics.
Nowadays saffron is grown in Spain, Greece, Morocco, India and Iran. It’s Spain who made the biggest production.
We grow a little in France. (In recent years several manufacturers have begun to cultivate again, reconnecting with an old tradition. Indeed, until not very old saffron was cultivated throughout the south-west and even into the region d ‘Orleans)

Saffron is the stigma of a flower (Crocus sativus) that are harvested in October and November in the morning. It is then dried. Saffron is sun drying artificial drying but retains its flavor better.

To obtain 1 kilo of saffron harvest it took no less than 200,000 flowers in hand. This explains why saffron is the most expensive spice in the world.
That is also why we must beware of false rudders that exist and provide a retailer with seriously. A low cost cache certainly a fraud.

In the Kitchen rudder is indispensable to bouillabaisse or paella, some risottos, soups, fish, the famous rust served with the soup, to name a few dishes.

What do you know about cinnamon?

Cinnamon is probably the oldest spices known if one believes that the Bible mentions. Also quoted on the Egyptian papyri.

Cinnamon from Ceylon, often considered the best cinnamon comes from cinnamon, a small evergreen tree. It is also found in eastern India, on the island of Java, and Madagascar.
This is the true cinnamon.
Not to be confused with Jigsaw, or false cinnamon, found in China, Laos, India and Indonesia. The taste of the cinnamon brown red darker than the true cinnamon is more pungent and powerful enough, pervasive, almost aggressive. For easy recognition of each other just to check the thickness of the crust. The thicker from the “fake” cinnamon.

To harvest cinnamon, leaf by leaf on the tree. It is a scraping of cinnamon to retrieve the pieces of bark. They are then allowed to dry and then wrap themselves. It was after this operation we obtain that cinnamon is used in cooking, in the form of sticks or powder.

Cinnamon is a spice commonly used. It is found in many professional kitchens and in the kitchen of the household.
The cinnamon sticks are used to flavor syrups, drinks, mulled wine as well as fruit salads, pies or numbers of pastry recipes. Cooking salt is no exception and our friends from Morocco, India to name only these two countries make greater use.
They also enters into the composition of many spice mixtures such as raz el hanout Maghreb countries, the Indian masala.
There are an infinite number of recipes in various cuisines of the world who use cinnamon. We quoted the mulled wine, gingerbread, biscuits including the famous Belgian Spiced
Cinnamon, powdered or in sticks too, must be stored in a cool, dry place away from light, like all other spices.

During the story, cinnamon had other uses, customs now forgotten but once common as to have with you small boxes containing cinnamon and other spices, with this it seems the power to protect against communicable diseases.
Talk still use less known existed since the days of ancient Egypt. The use of cinnamon in perfumery.

The secret for almost any cure

Among the many plants that nature provides us, there are many that have been used at all times by man to heal. For centuries, men also using the plants. Little by little, as and scientific discoveries, the pharmacopoeia is moved from natural products to chemicals.
The financial stakes have become such that sometimes we hide voluntarily the benefits of a natural product, to enable pharmaceutical companies to recoup their investment and continue to earn substantial profits.

Thus, a plant proved to have numerous virtues, so much so that pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries have a lot invested in it: aloe vera. But more recent studies, especially those of a Brazilian Franciscan friar, Frei Romano Zago, have shown that another plant was far more virtues, while being easily usable, of course, free: his cousin, aloe arborescens, used in 80% of pathologies.

This plant has two rare qualities: it is an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. It stimulates the immune system and the process of regeneration of tissues (skin, mucous etc..) Finally, many reported cases of therapeutic in cases of cancers, including liver cancer.
The study in vivo and in vitro, demonstrating that not only take aloe arborescens decreases the number of cancer cells, but it is useful to prevent this cancer through its inhibitory power on the birth and development of cells cancer (Okada K. Wakayama J. “Studies on in vitro and in vivo effects of aloe extract on hepato carcinogenesis) Journal of the Wakayama Medical Society, 1997, 48/85-95.

Romano Zago, having heard of the experiments since 1988 and before the numerous cases of healing, wrote a book about his experiences. His book, “Cancer tem cura” (We can cure cancer), now in its 25th edition, reported positive effects on many disorders.

Aloe arborescens is a green plant of the lily family. It grows like a weed on dry and acidic, but likes to be watered. They are found throughout southern Europe, in public parks. Simply transplanting a small tree. You can also ask your florist.

Its use is very simple: to make a decoction and drink it regularly. It has no harmful effect.

Miracles nettle manure

Today, let’s be crazy! Imagine a world without Monsanto where the only treatment products would be allowed slurry nettle, horsetail, consoudre of the maceration of garlic, herbal infusions or decoctions of all kinds.
A world where the Association Kokopelli is recognized as a national struggle for its defense and preservation of old varieties of seeds.

Yes, well, I know it’s utopian – but we have every right to dream anyway.

Meanwhile, I still had good news this morning I made a new fan of manure nettle and inevitably I began to dream. I tell myself that if each of us converted to manure and nettle came to convert at least one neighbor, we can again dream of a better world.

Reflect! What arguments can I use to convince you?

- Price? picked nettles and rainwater therefore cost zero cents
- Protection of the environment? is an organic fertilizer
- The protection of humans and animals? not need a mask, gloves, protective diverse and varied in use: it is safe
- Its purpose? strengthens the defenses of plants, reduces disease, very good fertilizer, compost activator
- Its effectiveness? simply watch a garden “with” a garden and “no”, the difference jumps to the naked eye. The plants are larger, grow faster, give more fruit, vegetables, flowers, and it in no time.

Then agree the smell is terrible! Anyway, for the benefits, it quickly becomes accustomed to the smell!
Another failure? The risk of burning the plant when used in excessive quantities, it is necessary to dilute the product and especially not to use pure, because it very much!
A yes last fault, it does not push the hair, or grow up people! Yet every time I sprayed my fruit trees, with benefits, I take a shower of manure, and many here have no effect on me, unfortunately!

So the recipe for this wonder product? As I am very generous and always ready to serve you, I’ll reveal it!
In fact, it’s simple as anything.
You put about a pound of nettles cut into pieces (careful not to take nettles in seeds or flowers) in a bucket or any container with a capacity of about ten liters and with a lid. You fill the bucket of rain water and you mix well with a stick.
Every morning you leave the bucket in the sun by removing the lid. You close the evening. You mix 2 to 3 times daily for 2 minutes.
After 4 to 5 days (weather) or 1 week if the weather is cooler, the mixture begins to foam, white foam appears. It is a sign that it’s ready. Do not let macerate preparation for longer, it would kill her, she would no longer effective.
Just at this time to filter the juice (using an old tissue, a low or an old curtain).
You can keep the juice cool and dark place (a basement), in bottles or cans for 1 year, there will always be as effective. The rest of nettles can be thrown on the compost heap, it will improve the decomposition.
When using, dilute to 10% spray (1 liter of slurry per 10 liters of water) and 20% in irrigation.

You can use this miracle potion, once every 15 days (not more) from spring to autumn, early morning or evening.
Do not be afraid, plants and trees do not keep the smell of manure, taste your fruits and vegetables would not be altered.

So convinced? Try it soon and you can not do without. But promise me one thing, if you’re happy, do not forget to ask around and do numerous followers.

Other antidepressants and tranquilizers are too consumed?

The French are the biggest consumers of antidepressants and tranquilizers in the world. A 4-French would use regularly. Nearly 200 million boxes are prescribed each year.

I would firstly like to clarify that I am aware that there is a difference between antidepressants and tranquilizers. But these two psychotropic essentially the same objective: fight against the malaise. The former are intended to eliminate sadness, mood disorders, depression and the latter deal more anxiety. They are also sometimes prescribed together, tranquilizers being at the very beginning of the depression.

Should we fear the very high consumption of psychotropic drugs? Is it exaggerated or is this a sign of a deeper malaise in society?

This questioning does not seem trivial since a study Anglo-American-Canadian in February 2008, seems to demonstrate that antidepressants would have no greater effect than placebo, except for the most severe depressions.
It follows therefore from this study that most individuals who consume antidepressants and tranquilizers in France do nothing. Indeed, not all are suffering from severe depression.
That is precisely the problem.
It seems that in recent years, people are rushed on antidepressants and tranquilizers at the slightest pretext. A little anxiety, two bad nights of sleep, a small decline in morale and hop, antidepressants or tranquilizers!
For them, it is the ideal solution, I would rather say the easy way. Who knows not surround yourself with loved ones or acquaintances as antidepressants or tranquilizers? Personally, I already know at least 4.

Beware, I’m not saying that we must remove the psychotropic. They definitely effective on people with severe depression, which could not cope without.
But why prescribe every turn, for a mere passenger discomfort? Should we not look for alternatives more natural?
Before jumping on antidepressants and tranquilizers, people should not they be taken in hand, seeking the causes of their discomfort, their anxiety and find the best solutions and the least “risky”?
Indeed, antidepressants and psychotropic drugs are not candy, they have side effects, such as addiction (which happens very quickly), the consequent weight gain (more than 20 kg in three months for some), irritability, etc..

Nowadays, it seems that people are fleeing increasing their responsibilities and do prefer the ostrich rather than trying to solve their problems. They say I’ll take an antidepressant and I see life in pink, I am disconnected from the realities of life – But during that time, the source of their discomfort, their anxiety remains and risk of s ‘worsen if nothing is done to solve them.
To make life more beautiful, we must learn to face problems. We must face them head on. This is not always easy but it’s the best way I know to get by. This is not hiding in psychotropic problems disappear like that, a magic wand!
We must also learn to put things into perspective. Some mountains are not much. They consider themselves the most unfortunate of the world, less fortunate, they always want more, they spend their time doing their “Calimero”. They can not be satisfied with what they have. A force, they do not appreciate life as it is. They live simply and not languish in a corner when there are lots of beautiful things around them.

They have forgotten that life was beautiful and it was worth to be lived fully, it should not look absolutely Greater Happiness (full of money, bigger house, the nicer car, etc.. ) but thoroughly enjoy every little moment of happiness that life offers us (the scent of a rose, the smile of a child, the gesture of affection of a spouse, a good meal, a walk on the beach, etc. .). This may sound naive to some but believe in my experience, since I think like that, my life is more beautiful. When you learn to appreciate those little moments you live fully and you will find that, oddly, is only from there that greater happiness will come.

Moreover, simple solutions and “natural” exist to reduce the discomfort without having to take psychotropic drugs. I know what I mean, I myself have experienced difficult times in my life but I never wanted to resort to antidepressants and tranquilizers. I worked a lot on me and I finally found solutions that allowed me to get out.

Before you rush on psychotropic take you in hand and see what you can do by yourself. For most of you, they will not be necessary.
For others, suffering from deep depression, do not hesitate to consult a doctor, you prescribe psychotropic drugs that work best for you, so that their effects are not more negative than positive.
Reservations necessary antidepressants and tranquilizers to those who really need it!

If you also want to fight your malaise of “natural”, you will find more information here: http://url-ok.com/872aa4

The benefits of yeast

Do you know yeast?

A priori, this may seem odd to eat this food. Some may say: “Eat of yeast, how awful! ”
Those who think it certainly imagine that the yeast is as the baker’s yeast, whose smell and texture may put off at first.
But rest assured, it comes in capsules, powder or tablets.
It consists of fungi, germs “nice”.
There are two types of yeast: yeast is an inactive derivative of the brewing industry, cheaper and yeast or active living, which is grown in the laboratory to bring out all its therapeutic benefits, more expensive . The first is effective but its effects are less powerful and less deep than the second. So I will mainly discuss the latter here.

It excites a lot of arguments that can get you to consume regularly.

The yeast has a unique composition, making it a wonderful food. It contains the nutrients most effective and active.
It contains proteins, lecithin, amino acids most critical to your body, a powerful antioxidant and detoxifier, glutathione, minerals (14) and trace elements, vitamins (17) with the full group of B vitamins, provitamin D.
The least we can say is that the composition of the yeast is exceptional. Few foods combine many beneficial substances in the body.

Its benefits can only be numerous, although there are no extensive research to confirm them completely. Here are the main

It helps digestion.
It helps to regenerate the intestinal flora, thus countering constipation, diarrhea.
It helps to fight against fatigue and burnout.
It is an antioxidant and fights against premature aging.
It helps to better elimination of toxins from the body.
It fights against the loss of appetite.
It would strengthen the immune system, fighting infections.
It would treat the diabetes condition to be enriched in chromium.
It would have positive effects on the skin. It reabsorbed acne, eczema.
It makes hair more beautiful and less brittle nails.
It would be very good for pregnant women because it would fight against the nausea and vomiting.
It is a very good supplement for people who plan deficient in protein.
Combined with antibiotics, it helps to fight against their side effects such as diarrhea.

There are some cons, indications, including yeast inactive: it would aggravate the inflammatory bowel disease. It would cause headaches, itching in people hypersensitive to biogenic amines.

Regarding the dosage, he must eat every day at every meal. You can mix the powder with your food or take a pill. It can be taken by everyone: children, adolescents, adults, athletes and seniors.

As you can readily see, the yeast seems miraculous and good for all!
Finally, it is not drinking beer that you get all the benefits of yeast. Damage to some perhaps, but it would produce more harm than good!

The secret of a successful relationship

Whatever type of relationship, friendship, love, work, it appears they may actually be a success until the moment that two important elements coexist: listening and communication.

A successful relationship, constructive can not exist without the presence of one or the other.

It seems obvious to many. But why is it so difficult for some to build relationships, keep them in time?
Most often, the lack of communication is highlighted. For example, a couple can no longer agree. One continually seeks to impose its views, ideas, beliefs.

The other can not issue its opinion and when he has the misfortune to do so, that’s where the arguments begin endless.

Why happens to be there?

Generally, it is the lack of listening that is behind everything. Listening is vital in relationships. Of course, it must be performed correctly and most sincere. Do not say “I’ll listen because he or she is happy and at the same time think of something else (what am I going to do to eat tonight?, Making your shopping list, think to call someone, etc.). Do not hear, he must listen!
Listening must be absolutely sincere it is constructive.

Of course, listening does not mean accepting everything that you said.

After you finish listening to your partner, you can advance arguments that contradict this, but after he finished his remarks.

The bottom line is learning not to interrupt the speaker just because you disagree or you want the abbreviated conversation quickly.

This indicates a lack of respect for that person, or a lack of love against him.
It is not always good to try at all costs to impose its ideas, its views in a relationship. The latter is built for two. Attempt to impose his ideas without question, is trying to dominate the other, so it destroy the whole relationship.

Of course, listening to sincere, constructive takes time. If you really want, deep within yourself, a relationship to succeed, you will always find the time. It is valid in the couple but also between parents and children, between friends.
And from the moment you’ve learned to listen sincerely, communication will be only better. The frictions are less numerous, less systematic, there is less risk of misunderstandings or misinterpretations. The relationship will only be more beautiful and certainly more harmonious.

The chrononutrition a new kind of diet

Every day, new kinds of arrangements out on the market. It must be said that weight gain concern a lot of people nowadays. But there is evidence for some time to regimes regimes does no good. Instead, it leads to very often “yo-yo” more harmful than anything else.
Rather than a strict and binding when you are denied everything, why not choose a method that teaches you to eat differently and do not see food as your sworn enemy.

Appeared for some time the chrononutrition.
According to the proponents of this new method, you should be able to eat anything. What happiness! Make a plan without restrictions, the dream! But precisely, is not “too good”?
In fact, as its name suggests, it is to eat the food (nutrition) at some particular times of day (clock). This new system was developed by Dr. Delabos.

The principle seems very simple: you can eat fatty foods when you lift, the sumptuous meals at noon (5 hours after the first meal), sugary foods to taste and lighter meals at bedtime.
By following precisely this order, you simply follow the pace of voting body. Indeed, as you could see yourself, as a rule, you consume more energy in the morning and evening. So it seems pointless to eat more at night since you do not have significant calories. Indeed, your sleep will not command a high energy expenditure. So if you eat more at night, you will store the calories unnecessarily.

This idea seems very simple and mostly logical. It seems to flow naturally.
Entering more into detail, you who are regulars of drastic diets, you will be surprised to learn that Dr. Delabos advocates.
In fact, it allows the consumption of chocolate, chocolate bread, cakes super sweet, if eating the snack. This would finish the day with full of energy thanks to sugar. By cons, if you eat the morning they would be harmful for the morning, your body really needs to fatty foods.

Thus, again unlike other regimes, the cheese is allowed (all cheeses) but only in the morning. This allows you to start the day and go until lunch without the munchies for 11 hours. This would also avoid the production of cholesterol in your body because the cheese you have already given enough. You can accompany the bread, but only in the morning.
If you like butter and oil (olive, canola), it is better to eat in the morning or noon for rape.

Regarding the sausage, you have right but in the morning. For meat, all meat is allowed only for lunch and lean meats like chicken are permitted at night. As for carbohydrates, they are allowed for lunch but in small quantities. Eggs (4 per week) seem particularly recommended especially in the morning or afternoon to replace the meat.
As for fruits, you can not eat all day. As they contain sugar, you should try to book them.

And for the evening? It does not seem to keep you much. Ha if they forgot the non-fatty fish. Prefer the dinner, as it is low in calories that you will make very light meal.

By following these principles, you should lose weight. But when you look closer, we see that everything is allowed, but as gradually as the day advanced, you need to eat less, you reach the final consumption of 1400 kcal per day. In addition, this type of scheme seems rather divorced, which does not bode well for post-regime.

Anyway, as I have not tried this diet, I do not know if it really works. If you try, do not hesitate to do but check before and why not talk to a nutritionist.
All I can say is that from what I see, some foods that are allowed (butter, cheese, eggs, for example) are not very good example if you have cholesterol problems, or cardiovascular problems. Moreover, it appears to contain lots of fat (morning).
I recommend strongly, if this scheme you are interested to talk to your doctor before.
