Beneficiile uimitoare ale nucilor de Macadamia
Originari din Australia, arbuştii de Macadamia au fost plantaţi pentru prima dată în scop comercial în Hawaii. Alţi exportatori importanţi de Macadamia din lume sunt Africa de Sud, America Centrală şi Australia.
Preţul ridicat al nucilor de Macadamia, dar şi al uleiului ce se extrage din aceste fructe lemnoase poate fi explicat prin faptul că un arbore de acest gen rodeşte abia după cinci ani de când este plantat. Apoi, abia după ce trec zece ani se poate obţine o producţie optimă.
Un alt motiv pentru care nucile sunt atât de scumpe este acela că ele nu pot fi decojite decât cu ajutorul unor dispozitive automatizate. Acest lucru este cauzat de faptul că nucile au o coajă deosebit de tare, care nu poate fi spartă altfel. În trecut, aborigenii se foloseau de pietre foarte mari pentru a strivi coaja tare.
Previn bolile de inimă
În urma analizelor, s-a descoperit că 100 de grame de nuci de Macadamia conţin 7,9 grame de carbohidraţi, 74 g de grăsimi (dintre care saturate 10 grame, monosaturate 60 de grame şi polinesaturate 4 grame), 9,2 grame de proteine, 4 miligrame de vitamina E, 64 de miligrame de calciu, 2 miligrame de fier şi 241 mg de fosfor. În urma acestor studii, cercetătorii din SUA afirmă că administrarea unui pumn de nuci de Macadamia în fiecare zi întârzie sau chiar elimină apariţia bolilor de inimă, micşorând totodată riscul îngroşării arterelor............

Think diet soda means weight loss? Think again
In fact, a Purdue University study has found that diet sodas may be linked to a number of health problems from obesity to diabetes to heart disease, just like their more sugary counterparts.
Susie Swithers, a professor of psychological sciences and a behavioral neuroscientist, reviewed a number of recent studies looking at whether drinking diet pop over the long-term increases the likelihood that a person will overeat, gain weight and then develop other health problems.
One large study found that people who drank artificially sweetened soda were more likely to experience weight gain than those who drank non-diet soda. Others found those who drank diet soda had twice the risk of developing metabolic syndrome, often a precursor to cardiovascular disease, than those who abstained.

The 5:2 Diet: 'My children force-fed me to stop my mood swings'
Everyone I know is on the Fast Diet, the 5:2, intermittent fasting… call it what you will. I can barely go anywhere without people talking about it.
As they will tell you, you eat anything you want for five days of the week, and diet for two. This means fewer than 500 calories a day (600 for men) for two non-consecutive days a week. It has been billed as the diet that anyone can do. After all, goes the theory, how hard can it be to watch what you eat and drink two days a week when you can eat and drink whatever you like the other five?
Not since the days of Atkins has an “ultimate diet” been taken up by so many people. I know as many men as women who are on it, and all claim to be losing around 2lb a week, giving them a steady weight loss over the months as they adjust to it.
The joy of it is its simplicity. The Atkins Diet, which became popular in the late 1990s, was tricky and no fun. All we did was eat endless protein, which made our breath smell. Robert Atkins, the American physician behind it, had a heart attack in 2002, leading many of his critics to suggest the high levels of saturated fat the diet encourages were to blame.
A decade later, the Dukan became the diet de nos jours. Billed as the weight-loss plan.....

Bist Du trotz Diäten und Ausdauertraining fett und ungesund?
Der Großteil der heutigen Fitnessstudiobesucher verlässt sich immer noch auf wenig intensives, langwieriges aerobes Training als Trainingsmethode für die Fettverbrennung. Neuere Studien haben allerdings gezeigt, dass das ein großer, wirklich großer Fehler ist. Man könnte sogar behaupten, dass der gesamte „Aerobes-Training-Boom“ der letzten Jahrzehnte einer der größten Frechheiten der Gesundheits- und Fitnessindustrie überhaupt ist. Warum?
Es sendet nämlich das Signal an Deinen Körper, eine gewisse Menge an eingelagertem Fett für das nächste Training zu speichern. Du sagst ihm damit im Grunde genommen, dass er Fett vermehrt in eingelagerter Form braucht, weil Du dieses Training erfahrungsgemäß immer wieder und machst. Vielleicht verbrennen wir also während dieser Übung einige Kalorien, aber sobald das Training vorbei ist, beginnt der Körper damit, neues Fett für das nächste Mal einzulagern. Und das ist offensichtlich nicht das, was wir wollen, um Fett loszuwerden!!!
Der nächste große Nachteil an moderatem aerobem Training, das exzessiv mehrmals pro Woche ausgeführt wird, ist, dass es Deinen Körper (Herz, Lunge, Muskeln, etc.) auf Effizienz trainiert. Das klingt vielleicht auch wieder gut, ist aber für Deine Gesundheit auf lange Sicht gesehen nicht das Optimum. Du trainierst so nämlich nur innerhalb Deiner existierenden Grenzen, ohne Deine Kapazität dabei zu erhöhen.
Diese zu erhöhen ist aber wichtig, weil Deine Kapazität festlegt, wie Dein Körper auf physischen, emotionalen und mentalen Stress reagiert. Wenn Du Deine Kapazität beim Training nicht erhöhst, wie Du es mit Krafttraining tust, dann reduzierst Du langfristig Deine Gesundheit und hast außerdem nur noch eine geringe Chance, Fett zu verbrennen.
Die gute Nachricht ist, dass Du diese Effekte umkehren kannst, indem Du beim Training stattdessen ein intensives Ausdauertraining machst, 15-20 Minuten pro Einheit durchhältst, 2-3 mal pro Woche.
Diese Trainingseinheiten werden anstelle von Fett während des Trainings Kohlenhydrate verbrennen, weil Dein Körper seine Fettspeicher anzapft, um während der folgenden 24 Stunden nach dem Training die verbrauchten Kohlenhydrate zu ersetzen! Dieses Training wird auch Deine Kapazität erhöhen, und damit steigt Deine Fähigkeit, mit verschiedenen Arten von Stress umzugehen, was sich in Form von langanhaltender Gesundheit und Fitness auswirkt... und dabei verbrennst Du 24 Stunden lang Fett. Klingt doch gut!
Dieses Training muss aber korrekt ausgeführt werden, um effektiv zu sein und das wiederum setzt voraus, dass es intensiv genug gemacht wird und die Pausenzeiten zwischen den einzelnen Übungen nur 60 Sekunden oder sogar noch weniger Zeit in Anspruch nehmen.
Die Anwender meines Fett-Verbrennungs-Ofen-Systems wissen das und erfreuen sich an den Ergebnissen. Wenn Du bedenkst, wie wenig Zeit Du dafür brauchst, verglichen mit den normalerweise empfohlenen Methoden, um solche Resultate in Sachen Fettabbau und Gesundheit zu erzielen, dann grenzt das fast schon an Zauberei.
