Do you know the Most Nutrition Grain?


FONIO: THE CROP THAT HOLDS THE ANSWER TO THE WORLD’S FOOD CRISIS!!
ITS MEDICAL PROPERTIES HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO MANAGE DIABETES AND OBESITY
EAT FONIO AND REMAIN HEALTHY FOR LIFE!
Fonio is highly rich in amino acids and iron. It is also very nutritious for pregnant women and children. It is free of gluten and is a great alternative for gluten-intolerant people, in particular those living with Celiac Disease.
Due to its high fiber content, this grain is also recommended for the elderly, and for people suffering from digestive problems. Moreover, because of its insulin secreting properties, Fonio products have found that diabetics are their key customers.

Fonio is richer in calcium, magnesium, zinc and manganese than other grains. This grain also contains high levels of methionine and cystine, amino acids essential to our health which our body cannot produce on its own. Fonio grains can play a vital role in nourishing human health. These nutrients are missing in today's major cereals.

Fonio does not contain any glutamine or gladding proteins which are the constituents of gluten, making this cereal suitable for people with gluten intolerance.

Fonio is the most nutritious of all grains. Not only does this crop deserve much greater recognition, it has a big future. It is one of the world's best-tasting cereals. 
Now here's the interesting part:
 How can you find Fonio? It's easy if you know where to look. You can only find it in Africa. Few markets in Africa carry it, but how close are you to them? Lucky for online shoppers, who can now order Fonio  (Raw or Precooked) from any part of the world from Amadin Consulting Services.
Culinary Uses of Fonio Grains
There are many uses of this ingredient and it is considered as the best tasting cereal. It can be used instead of rice or grains and can also be added to regular flour for its nutritional values. Flour from this crop can also be used for making cakes and fritters. It can be used for baking bread and traditionally, it is eaten as couscous or gruel (thick or thin).
Popular Fonio Recipes
Children and elderly popularly consume it, since it can be easily digested. Those on diets will find it pleasing to taste since Fonio is low in fat. Another popular recipe is a combination of sesame with this grain.

*Pilaf Fonio Recipe
In fry oil, thin sliced onions, garlic and parsley crushed, tomatoes peeled, deseeded and cut and the tomato purée. Add salt and add 2 liters of water, spices and herbs and simmer for about 1 hour. At mid-time cooking, add vegetables washed and regularly cut. Take out the vegetables as they are cooked and set aside in a serving dish. Add to the vegetables and keep it hot. “Sprinkle” precooked Fonio in the remaining bouillon while stirring; the bouillon must cover Fonio. Cover the cooking pot and simmer while stirring from time to time. Serve hot with vegetables.

Health and Nutritional Value of Fonio Grain
• Highly rich in amino acids and iron, its tiny grains are very nutritious for pregnant women and children.
• The husked grain of fonio contains 8-10 % proteins, 85% carbohydrates, 4% fats and 1% ash.
• Fonio grains are immensely rich in methionine, cystine and other amino acids which play a vital role in nourishing human health. These nutrients are missing in today's major cereals.

However, as advised by experts, you can significantly improve your circulations by regular exercising.  The following exercises will keep the tone and condition of your body, and will take only 15-20 minutes of your time during the day.



Swimming
Swimming is especially good for individuals who suffer from muscle and joint pain and it can be good practice for people of all ages. This exercise does no tension to the body, but engages all body muscles and stimulates oxygen flow to the heart and lungs.
Yoga
Yoga is breathing control technique which improves blood circulation in the muscles and oxygen concentration in the blood.
Walking
Walking is undoubtedly the best exercise to improve your blood circulation. It tightens and relaxes the leg muscles and stimulates blood pumping throughout the body. Also, it reduces blood pressure. At the beginning, you should start with short walks, 2-3 times a week.
Stretching
In the morning, before you get up from bed, stretch! It is the first thing you should do, stretch well your legs and arms.
Push- ups
In the morning, before showering, do a set of 10 push-ups, and you will provide the needed energy for the following day.
Raising heels and toes
Sit with your knees on the floor creating an angle of 90 degrees. Raise your toes from the floor while keeping the heel on the floor. Then put them back on the floor. First do this one leg, and then repeat with the other. Next try with your both feet at the same time and eventually complete the exercise by swinging the heel to the toes.
Feet rotation

Turn your head to the left and then to the right, to relax your neck. Count to 10. Next, roll your head around and bend it down until it touches the chest. Do not worry if you hear cracking sound while performing the exercises. They are normal and show that you stretch the neck ligaments successfully and that you are performing the exercises properly.
Hand exercises
First stretch and spread the fingers of your hand. Next, make a fist and hold that position for a couple of seconds. Then loosen your joint and spin your hand in a circular movement from the shoulder, for one minute. This is an excellent exercise to improve blood circulation and prevent cramps.
Cycling and dancing
Dancing is an excellent way to activate your body and improve your blood circulation. On the other hand, cycling is another amazing exercise for improving blood flow in the lower part of the body.
Try to do these exercises whenever you have some free time, and you should also ride a bicycle or swim for at least 45 minutes at the pool. You will soon feel the results.

This Edible Water Bottle Is Going To Change The World By Ending Plastic Waste

Say goodbye to plastic water bottles, because this edible water container is the future.

Ooho is a new spherical packaging for water that looks a little like a breast implant. It’s biodegradable, hygienic and costs 1p per unit to make.


Its makers describe it as “water you can eat”.



Ooho is made from calcium chloride and a seaweed derivative called sodium alginate.





With global sales of packaged water hitting 223 billion litres this year, this new green solution to a major waste problem couldn’t come sooner. It’s even won the UK round of an EU competition for new, more sustainable products, and takes home €20,000 of investment.
Ooho designer Pierre Paslier, told the Guardian: “At the end of the day you don’t have to eat it. But the edible part shows how natural it is.”

“People are really enthusiastic about the fact that you can create a material for packaging matter that is so harmless that you can eat it.”

INFUSED WATER: The Ultimate Detox And Weight-loss Secret

by Suzanne Pischner


One of the most talked about weight loss topic now is infused water with this natural ingredient. Studies have shown that this Skinny Pill made from natural ingredients will increase your metabolism. Many started drinking and enjoying the ritual of taking better care of themselves.

Many women who are tired of trying Atkins, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and a slew of other weight loss programs fall without any success, while some fall back into depression. Many couldn't afford surgery and didn't know what to do next, until they read about drinking infused water together with Slim Raspberry Ketone to significantly increase their metabolism and weight loss. Many decided to give it a try, considering they had nothing to lose. That day changed their lives forever. Now others are following their lead.

Take The Simple Infused Water Regimen To The Next Level




They aren't the only people who are seeing the positive effects of this new program. Television star Lorraine Kelly shocked the world after losing 2.5 stones in 2 months with the new Slim Raspberry Ketone and Nature's Cleanse Diet. "I Couldn't believe how quickly I saw the effects.. and the fact that I could eat whatever I want when I want and still lose weight!" said Lorraine as we spoke with her after one of her shows. The combined effect is clinically proven to not just shred fat off your physique but flush out all the junk in your body and increase your metabolism without harming your immune system.


Losing weight often feels like an impossible challenge. We have evaluated numerous fad diets over the years. All too frequent the results are just shy of being painfully disappointing.
The reason why most diets fail, in our opinion, is that they impose unrealistic restrictions on how you live your life. Many dietitians say eat lots of protein others emphasize carbohydrates. In either case, you're left with having to make rather drastic changes to the types of food you eat, when you eat it.

Warning-signs-of-a-heart-attack-can-be-found-on-your-eyelids

A MUST READ: Warning Signs of a Heart Attack 

Can be Found on Your Eyelids


The study published in the British Medical Journal revealed its findings that show a link between heart diseases and a health condition known as xanthelasma (xanthelasma palpebrarum). This condition appears as a sharply demarcated yellowish deposit of fat underneath the skin, usually on or around the eyelids. These yellow formations occur in the upper or lower eyelid near the inner corner of the eye.
a-must-read-warning-signs-of-a-heart-attack-can-be-found-on-your-eyelids

The connection between heart disease and xanthelasma
Both sexes, and especially after 40, can suffer from this condition. These yellow growths are the result of cholesterol deposits and indicate a higher level of cholesterol in almost half of the patients affected with this condition.
People with xanthelasma usually seek medical help because these growths are unattractive, otherwise, they are soft and painless and do not affect vision.
In fact, without considering them as a warning of a more serious condition, and despite their re-emergence after removal, people most often decide to remove these yellowish growths because their appearance is far from pleasing to the eye.
Scientific evidence
The link between heart disease and xanthelasma has been scientifically confirmed by a recent Danish research. The professor who led the team, Mr. Tibjaerg Hansen came to conclusions that will alter the way we see these seemingly harmless growths, which are ignored as irrelevant by both patients and doctors.
Women with xanthelasma have an 8% higher risk of heart attack, as opposed to those who are not affected by this phenomenon. It has been proved that women have a lower risk of heart disease than men.  Moreover, researchers in this study explained that xanthelasma allows accurate prediction of heart disease in this particular group of patients.
On the other hand, it has been proven that men are more prone to heart disease. Men affected with xanthelasma are at a 12% higher risk of heart attack, and men aged 70-79 are at an even higher risk.
This research discovered that the presence of xanthelasma cases in each age group indicates an increased probability of heart disease, heart attack and death. Both men and women who have these yellow growths on their eyelids are likely to experience a heart attack, and in 10- year period, they may even be life- threatened.
The research concluded that xanthelasma, independent of other factors such as high cholesterol, obesity, smoking and high blood pressure, may indicate a severe atherosclerosis, heart attack, heart disease and death.
So, in case you notice that these yellow growths appear on your eyelids, it is highly advisable that you immediately check your cholesterol levels.
