Mint, an amazing plant multipurpose
Most people love the freshness of mint. We see the word "mint" and the first thing many of us think it is the plant that can help freshen our breath. It's rare that we take a handful of mint at the grocery store with the intent to use it to fresher breath.
Food using for the mint.
But did you know that mint - whether it be peppermint, spearmint, chocolate mint, etc. - has many uses? Mint leaves fresh or dried have a sweet taste and pleasant finish with a sensation of freshness; they are great in jelly, tea, ice cream, candies, and syrups -!
In some parts of the Middle East, mint is used in many dishes of lamb. If you happen to travel to the Middle East, you will probably have a cup of mint tea after a meal. This is because the mint tea is excellent for digestion. But you will not go to the Middle East to enjoy the mint this way. You can put a drop of essential oil of mint in the chocolate when you make a chocolate fondue after meals.You can even sprinkle a few fresh mint leaves in a fruit salad or vegetables.
Other uses of mint
The mint is not only great in food. It has many other uses. For example, mint works well to relieve headaches. Take a washcloth wet and cold, pour a few drops of peppermint oil, and then place it on your forehead. To relieve heartburn, gas or indigestion, put a drop of peppermint oil in a cup of tea. And if you want a relaxing massage, add a few drops of peppermint oil to your body cream scented.
Kill all bacteria transmitted by air in the room and refresh the space by putting a few drops of peppermint oil in an oil burner. To relieve tired feet, put a few drops of peppermint oil in a footpath. And if you want to freshen your laundry, add 2 or 3 drops of peppermint oil in a dry washcloth and put the washcloth in the dryer with clothes.
It is also a good idea to pack some peppermint oil capsules and take them between meals. This will avoid having around because of food not properly digested. If you have any gas pain, rub some peppermint oil on your stomach or lower back. You will feel relieved in no time. By: Emmanuel Lacroix

Attraction Matters Of Enyzmes
Hello pals. How are you all? I hope all are doing well. here I am also doing well. I am very much happy to see you all here once again. Here I am going to talk about the attraction towards both the genders. The attraction is making them to mate each others. Enzymes are the only thing is doing all these."When the pheromone signal increases, two enzymes in the cell compete, one adding and deleting the other chemical modification on a protein called STE5, develops Prof. Michnick, who noted that when the threshold critical signaling pheromones is reached, one of the enzymes eventually gain the upper hand on the ability of the other to change STE5, triggering a sudden cascade of chemical messages are transmitted to the cell to indicate that the time has come mating.
These results were achieved through the collaboration of the physicist Peter Swain, of McGill Universityand the University of Edinburgh , and his postdoctoral researcher Shahrezaei Vahid, now a lecturer atImperial College London UK . They were able to describe in effect with any mathematical precision how this phenomenon affects the decision to mating.

Tips On Slimming
Lose some weight and keep it off, in theory, it's easy: just move more and eat healthy in smaller quantities. In practice, this may get tougher because sometimes you have to do with the sensation of hunger that our heels. A few simple tips to help you better control your cravings and / or your weight.
Sophie Thierry
- Choose the "natural appetite suppressant"
- Drink water freely
- Light products, strong allies
- Move, you eat less!
- If ... of hungry in the afternoon, enjoy!
Choose the "natural appetite suppressant"
Hungry putting himself at the table is a good thing, because you can eat with pleasure. However, being hungry between meals can be problematic if one yields to the temptation of snacking. To promote satiety while improving your nutritional balance, during the main meal, your privilege:
Foods rich in water and fiber, like fruits and vegetables, which have the power to satiate and delay the return of hunger. The ideal: at least 5 servings per day, spread over 4 meals;
grain products rich in carbohydrates and low glycemic index, which suddenly you feel fuller without varying the rate of insulin (and glucose) in blood. They will thus prevent the effect "pump shot";
dairy products such as yoghurt and cheese at 0%, satiating, rich in protein but low in fat.
Drink water ad libitum
Drink enough throughout the day is definitely a "slimming aid" to keep its shape or lose weight. Not only is water calorie-free, but it helps to "cleanse" the body. Two-step, three moves: fat burning, waste production and disposal.
In addition, certain mineral waters participate effectively in the coverage needs minerals and trace elements, often loss through dieting.
Finally, drinking water is an anti-snacking: taking repeated sips of water decreases short-term hunger and increases satiety, resulting in an effect of "decoy" for the organization. The ideal: at least one and a half liters of water per day.
Diet products, strong allies
Diet products can be a great help and useful in the context of a controlled diet to lose weight. Low-fat and / or sugars, they provide fewer calories than the products they replace. Thus, for example, if a quark to 40% brings 8 g fat and 115 kcal per 100 g, a white cheese at 0% provides only 0.2 grams of fat for 46 kcal.
The caloric reduction, however, must go hand in hand with a good balance between food and physical activity. The recipe: eat a varied, taking 3 meals a day plus possibly a snack, food preference and satiety "satietogenic" (which limits the sensations of hunger between meals) and those with high nutrient density (rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber) .
Move, you eat less!
To keep the line, it is necessary to expend energy through daily physical activity: walking, running, climbing stairs, everything is good, as long as you move! A minimum of 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day is recommended. Practiced regularly, the sport helps you to "sculpt" your body and is beneficial on a psychological level: it promotes the secretion of endorphins, hormones that provide a euphoric feeling of well-being. Better in your head, less nervous, this will help you avoid snacking due to stress.
If ... of hungry in the afternoon, enjoy!
When taken regularly and motivated by a physiological hunger, taste is a real mini-meals, as opposed to snacks (repeated food ingestion) that responds to boredom or simply to indulge. Snacking leads to excessive secretion of insulin, which promotes the development of energy reserves, a phenomenon implicated in weight gain.
If you opt for tea, remember that you can better distribute the calories in the day, to better resist snacking and lighter dinner. Provided, of course, that the taste is balanced, for example consisting of a cereal product, a dairy product, fruit and a drink. Gravely 16 hours!

Diabetes
Hi friends. How are you all? I hope everything is going fine. Here I am also doing well. I am very much glad to meet you all here once again. Now I am going to talk about the serious issue about diabetes. Symptoms
Some characteristic symptoms of diabetes, but they do not all have the same manner and with the same intensity. These symptoms are:
o Increase the volume and frequency of urine;
o Intense thirst;
o Hunger accentuated;
o Loss of weight;
o Fatigue, drowsiness;
o Blurred vision;
o Tingling in fingers and feet;
o Slow healing;
No infection of the genitals;
o Change of character.
Sometimes symptoms are not apparent and, in many cases they are so minor that they go unnoticed for several years. Upon the occurrence of one or more symptoms, it is suggested to consult a doctor. A blood test will determine with certainty the state of your health. Physiology of disease
Insulin, secreted by the pancreas when we eat, allows glucose ingested into the cells of our body, which gives us the energy to operate. A diabetic, some disorders are that glucose can not enter inside the cells, causing a rise in blood sugar.
Consequences
In the long term, hyperglycemia caused by excessive glucose in the blood leads to certain complications, including the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels.
