How to Choose Your Coach Bags for Maximum Effect

By Jane Carpenter

Designer bags are a must have for every girl who wants to always be fashionable and up to date with modern trends. However, not all ladies can afford to spend so much on handbags and clothing accessories.

There has to be a cheaper way to look good. Indeed, smart women can manage to be fresh and cool without spending a lot of money. Leather goods manufacturers such as Coach bags are an excellent option and significantly cheaper than a Prada, Gucci or Fendi. Here you'll be able to read a few tricks that will allow you to enjoy your style to the full.

Remember, you don't need to jump into buying any purse from the new collections Coach and other bags designers launch once or twice a year. Usually you can wait to buy them at less than half their initial price, about 6 months after launch. I think it is worth waiting, as the discounts are important and you can save a lot of money this way.

Take advantage of discount seasons which come usually after big holidays. In January, you can get amazing bag models branded with the Coach signature almost at the price of a fake purse. For example, you could get the Coach Patchwork Handbag in a combination of the finest leather, suede and CC monogrammed fabric for as little as 295 dollars. This is a bargain.

Always go for the most outstanding models and for vivid colors. These colors draw attention much better than the common black or brown. Beware, though, these purses may be difficult to match with your outfits, in case you like to wear lots of colors. But if you are a black lover, you can match your black dresses with crazy looking colored bags and shoes, so people would turn their heads after you on the street.

Wallets and beauty or travel cases that match the bags are a great innovation in fashion and style. Take advantage of it and always buy a match for your new purse. Coach bags , for example, always come with such accessories.

Dirty bags are one of the most awful things at a woman. Never wear a purse which has stains on it. Use specially designed cleaning products for your bags maintenance and don't forget to ask the manufacturers for instructions. Outstanding leather goods companies like Coach offer cleaning kits for their bags and shoes, so you are comfortable with cleaning them without worrying that they are going to be ruined.

When choosing your bags, keep in mind that big handbags don't fit very well in case you are a short person. Think twice and maybe get yourself a wristlet or a clutch, instead of a huge tote bag. - 16650

Do Natural Candida Infection Remedies Work?

By June Lyons

Yeast infection signs are a funny thing. Sometimes you will show all the classic signs and it will seem obvious. Other times you may be experiencing a number of seemingly unrelated, minor health issues, and you would never believe for one moment that it could possibly be signs of a yeast infection.

The distinguishing feature of a yeast overgrowth is the presence of elevated inflamed areas called satellite pustules which emerge on nearby skin. If you notice these pustules in or on your skin then you can assume that the rash is due to a yeast infection, as a non-infectious rash doesn't have these pustules. Yeast infections can emerge on your thighs, abdominal area, genitals, as well as on the skin folds around the genital area.

Yeast infections can cause so many different symptoms and you can go round in circles trying so many different diets and creams and antibiotics that you don't know if you are coming and going. The list of symptoms are endless, burning, itching, redness and so on. The list goes on and on but if you just suffered from one of these it would be bad enough but to suffer from all of them at the same time is horrendous.

Of the usual treatments it is common to see vaginal creme, suppositories, and oral medications being used. To avoid and prevent Yeast Infection is a matter of which advice you trust, but generally it is advisable to avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes, remove damp clothes immediately, and don't bath in soapy baths. Also, you may also consider avoiding bread, and sugar.

Now, one of the most popular misconceptions is that bacteria cause a yeast infection. This is not true. As a matter of fact, our bodies have a certain amount of bacteria that live in us and actually combat the fungus to keep it in check. Certain prescribed and over-the-counter medications will kill the bacteria that are aiding in the control of the fungus.

In fact, conventional medicines such as over-the-counter treatment will do more harm by increasing the risk of recurring infections. These infections get more severe with each recurrence. It is important to treat the yeast infection symptoms at the first sign of them. Before the treatment begins, it is important to first know the symptoms. - 16650

Finding Acne Solutions

By David Lam

Billions of dollars are spent worldwide each year in looking for acne solutions. Both consumers and pharmaceutical companies alike are spending the money to get an effective acne solution. Unluckily in most cases of teenage acne, the person will outgrow acne before they actually find a solution for curing it.

What many people fail to realize is that it takes more than medication to treat acne. It may also require some lifestyle changes like the way you care for your skin, foods you eat and what you expose your skin to. For example, if a food allergy is causing acne breakouts, you may use acne medication to clear up however once you eat that food again, you might have another outbreak.

In addition to applying acne solutions, you also need to keep your skin clean. You must wash your face at least twice a day in order to remove the dirt that clogs pores. You may even need to wash your face more often if you live in an area that has a lot of air pollution.

Make sure that you follow the directions when applying the acne solution. Overuse of the product can bring as many problems as under use of the acne solution. Follow the orders to the letter, except your dermatologist or doctor advises otherwise.

Acne begins on the inside of the body however it is prevented and healed on both the inside and outside of the body. Consult your doctor or dermatologist to find the best acne solution for your condition. Be sure that you are aware of all of the potential side effects before deciding to use any type of acne treatment.

Moreover you should stick to one form of acne treatment and give it time to work. That is the main reason for failure with acne solutions. Some acne treatments can take up to three months before they prove to be effective.

Keep in mind that those acne solutions which work for one person may not work for other person. We all have different types of skin and we all respond differently to medication and acne treatments. You need to try out in order to find the best acne treatment for you.

It is possible to get acne solutions which can treat your acne. You just can not depend solely on the acne treatment to cure or avoid acne without making other lifestyle changes. You must be patient and consistent so that to get rid of acne successfully. - 16650

Nail Infections - How To Prevent

By Dave Bern

In many cases unless you know what you are looking for being able to diagnose that you have a nail infection can be quite difficult. The only outward sign that there is something wrong is that your nail may become discolored. It is during the early stages of a nail infection one will notice that the nail infected has turned a yellowish color.

If you decide to ignore the first warning signs that you possibly have a nail infection this could actually lead to the strength of the nail being compromised. As the infection develops the nail will discolor more the nail will begin to thicken and in some cases will eventually begin to break.

So if you want to prevent this problem occurring to your nails then there are certain things that one will need to do. Below we look at what these are.

1. If you want to prevent any kind of nail infection whether it to your feet or hands then you need to make sure that yours remain clean and tidy. Through regular maintenance of your nails you will prevent the chances of bacteria and fungi from growing underneath and which can lead to an infection.

2. If at any time you find yourself with an injury to your nail (foot or hand) then make sure that you treat it immediately. This again will help to prevent the buildup of bacteria in the injury and so prevent the chance of fungus being able to thrive.

3. When it comes to preventing nail infections on your feet you should make sure that they remain cool and dry at all times. Plus as with your hands the nails on your feet should be regularly maintained. The fungi which can cause a nail infection likes warm, damp areas to grow in and feet provide the perfect habitat for it. So as well as keeping your feet clean make sure the socks and shoes you wear are clean and well maintained as well. If you do find yourself suffering from a nail infection to your feet there are some good quality over the counter nail infection medications that can help to treat the condition before it comes any worse.

People who wear artificial nails should also be aware that they can be extremely prone to suffering from nail infections. Certainly you need to care for your artificial nails in the same way as you would your own if you want to prevent such infections from occurring.

You need to be careful just what bonding agents you use when wearing artificial nails as these can cause damage to the soft tissue of your real nails. There are chemicals in these bonding agents which can in fact cause the soft tissue to disintegrate and this could in turn lead to fungus being able to get in underneath the artificial nail and grow.

The only way to ensure that you do not get any artificial nail infections is through proper care of your nails once they have been fitted. However, if at any stage you suspect an infection or you have a problem with your nails then you should seek professional advice as soon as you possibly can. When it comes to artificial nails never attempt to try and repair the damage yourself as this could only cause the problem to worsen. - 16650

Identifying Sleep Apnea Symptom in Children

By Veronika Namesse

A sleep disorder known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is affecting thousands of children today. This sleep disorder is now also widely being accepted as the main factor that causes daytime attention and behavioral problems in children. Unlike in adults, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children is hard to identify. This makes sleep apnea symptom recognition important.

As the child sleeps, the muscles along the walls of the throat loosen up. Because of this, the walls cave in and hinder the flow of air. After about 30 seconds, the child stirs to a lighter stage of sleep or brief restlessness. The muscles then become constricted, which decreases the obstacle, and the child is able to breathe again. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children typically starts between 3 and 6 years old, where the most common factor at that age is distended tonsils and adenoids.

Snoring should not be considered right away as a sleep apnea symptom since snoring is a common occurrence in children. In fact, 10-20 percent of normal children experience primary snoring, whether regular or irregular. However, snoring is a sleep apnea symptom that is considered one of the main signs. But apart from snoring, there are other symptoms for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children. These include the following:

- Tonsils and adenoids are enlarged - Nightly snoring, often with intermittent pauses, gasps or snorts - Disturbed sleep - Breathing through the mouth - Problems falling asleep - Restless sleep - Irritability - Weight loss or poor weight gain - Chronic fatigue - Extreme daytime lethargy - Daytime cognitive and behavior issues like the inability to pay attention, having aggressive actions and hyperactivity, which result to problems at school

Typical symptoms and indication of adenotonsillar hypertrophy, or big tonsils and adenoids, and breathing through the mouth are usually the bases for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in kids. A doctor may diagnose obstructive sleep apnea through a sleep history and a sleep study, or nocturnal polysomnography.

Treatments

Obesity is not a sleep apnea symptom in children since the condition is only observed in adults. However, if the child is on the overweight side, that just might contribute to whatever sleep apnea symptom he or she is having. Thus, it becomes crucial that the child maintains a normal weight, most especially if he or she has obstructive sleep apnea.

Allergies should be treated in children with obstructive sleep apnea as well. One medication that can help improve nasal obstruction and a sleep apnea symptom is a nasal steroid. Surgery is the chief treatment for children suffering from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. This entails removing the child's enlarged tonsils and adenoids through tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.

If the symptoms does not improve even after the tonsils and the adenoids are already removed, treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children may include the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. This device can help transport air through the nose at a measured pressure that helps maintain open upper airway passages during sleep. - 16650

Yes, You too Can Learn How to Build Muscle Lose Fat With Ease!

By Allen Brian

It is commonly believed that if you add too much muscle quickly, you will add fat at the same time. Gaining muscle and fat at the same time is a natural process of gaining weight, you must know and accept it if you want build muscle mass. If your goal is to build big muscles, then you need to intake a lot of calories for your body to grow more muscles. But it is impossible for all of your additional calories to go for growing your muscle. Some of these extra calories will end up as fat.

If you want to make your body shape changes in a short period of time, you should focus on gaining muscle mass in a period of time and then focus on losing additional body fat in another period of time.

Because your muscle level will determine so much of your metabolic rate, it- much easier to get rid of the fat after you have built up the size of your muscles. For this reason, having a high level of muscle is important and is the best plan.

On the basis of what we mention above, your goal is simple: grow your muscle as big as possible and gain fat as few as possible. Your goal during a bulking phase is not to lose body fat; it's just to gain as little as possible.

Here are 3 methods that may help.

Count the exact additional calories you need.

You may hear of "optimal nutrition", but you may not hear of "super nutrition". Getting extra calories is needed to make your muscles larger, but eating as much as you can of random foods beyond what you need to make your muscle tissue larger will cause you to gain more fat than you should.

It is better to control your extra calories for gaining your muscle at 15~20 percent of your daily calories needs. Don't go any higher if your calories intake fallen in this range.

Pay attention to your nutrition choices.

Healthy, unsaturated fats, carbohydrate with high fibers and lean proteins should be your main food sources. Food plays a large role in muscle building. You should always keep away from saturated fats, intake natural fiber carbohydrates to stabilize the level of your blood sugar and eat more red lean meats.

Include cardio workout

Cardio workout is no needed to be overdone. When you get more muscles, cardio workouts can decrease the fat storage in the muscle building process. Short cardio workouts are enough, but keep it with high strength. Don't perform long workouts, 10 to 20 minutes workout are good and can prevent muscle loss.

You can turn into fat loss exercises and concentrate on that to slash you body fat and try to maintain your muscle mass after you reach a certain muscle level that you are satisfied. But, remember that while you're getting larger, you will gain body fat. So, in the muscle building process, the most important concept is not to prevent getting fat but get it as little as possible. - 16650

The Answer To Fast Weight Loss Is Hypnosis

By Robert Hudak

When you begin a weight loss program, you want fast weight loss. Since no body takes pleasure in counting calories, binging, having cravings, feeling deprived, measuring portions, eating foods that they dislike or being tortured with a starvation diet that has them feeling hungry and unhappy, it is wise that you focus on the mental and emotional aspects to achieve successful weight loss.

The problem with the current popular weight loss programs is that they only work on what is going on below the neck. Hypnosis focuses on what is happening above the neck and in your head. Fast weight loss can be programmed into the subconscious mind so that every day activities such as sitting at a desk, talking on the telephone or the very action of picking up the phone, will cause your body to respond by losing weight, and continue to lose until you reach your desired goal.

Many prominent publications such as Journals Of Consulting and Clinical Psychology have numerous studies regarding the efficiency of hypnosis on weight loss. As an example, a study of fifty females showed fast weight loss with hypnosis in comparison to the control group, which experienced much lower weight loss. The American Medical Association approved hypnosis in 1958. As of then, it is being used adequately for various reasons such as pain management, smoking cessation, self-improvement, and sports training.

It is documented that with the proper suggestions; people can experience fast weight loss. Hypnosis creates a state of awareness to help people learn to look at food differently, to change eating habits and reduce cravings. More and more people are starting to see hypnosis as a solution because it makes losing weight fun and easy.

Are you ready to learn the true secret to fast weight loss? Quit eating junk food. That is correct. The chemicals that cause weight gain and make it impossible to lose weight is in junk food. High fructose corn syrup is the biggest problem. Want to lose weight? Stop eating junk food.

Hypnosis is a scientific preferred method of weight loss because it is safe, natural and effective. Because your mind is programmed to think differently about food, losing weight is simple. If a weight loss program is hard and difficult, most people do not have the self control or discipline to stay committed. You can enjoy fast weight loss with hypnosis. Gaining control of your eating habits and losing weight creates a process that involves the mind and body connection.

The real secret to weight loss success is properly programming the subconscious mind. While in hypnosis a person can be given a suggestion that food is less important to them. Suggestions can also be given so that you can experience fast weight loss. Just like magic, weight loss can be fast, easy and exciting. When food is less important, it is also less controlling. Hypnosis can help you stop thinking about food, therefore you eat less and lose weight.

Hypnosis can correct your eating habits and cause you to shut the door on bad foods. Not only can you stop eating when you are full, but it also helps you gain control of unnecessary emotional eating. Furthermore a person can be programmed to really enjoy exercising, look forward to it and be extremely disappointed if they miss a workout. Programming like this is the path to fast weight loss. An added benefit to the experience is that it will reduce your stress and make you feel better, allowing you to have a peaceful sleep. Welcome the thinner, healthier, calmer, happier you by getting off the weight loss roller coaster and trying hypnosis. You will be happier with your slimmer waistline. - 16650

The Truth About Treadmill Walking for Weight Loss

By Torri Tompson

If you think losing weight is complicated, it doesn't have to be. Treadmill walking for weight loss is an easy way to help you burn calories and lose inches. Many overweight individuals find it hard to schedule time to get up and move.

We sit at a desk all day, and come home to relax on the couch and watch TV. We do it out of exhaustion. This type of lifestyle is very unhealthy, but there's a quick fix to turn your health around.

If you are like me and don't want to join a public gym, then why not buy your own treadmill? Home treadmills are convenient and can really help you lose weight; and the best thing is that they are so simple to use, you just get on it and walk!

It's probably the case that you used to walk a lot more when you were younger, but like most of us it's easy to fall into the trap of not doing enough physical exercise. The great thing about using a treadmill is that you don't have to count reps in your head, or worry about holding or using the equipment properly.

Aside from the treadmill itself, all you need is a little motivation to get yourself going. Weight loss can be intimidating for many people. Before you know it you're counting calories, measuring food portions, and trying to figure out if you burned more calories than you ate!

Using your treadmill for exercise means you can forget about all of these things and just concentrate on losing weight. Studies have shown that even a short 10 minute walk each day can greatly improve your health.

If you want to start seeing weight loss results almost immediately then you should try to walk about 2000 steps each day. This will take you around 20 or 30 minutes depending on how quickly you walk. Of course, the more you walk, the fitter and slimmer you will become.

Walking provides many health benefits aside from losing weight. It helps prevent heart disease, lowers your blood pressure, and assists in controlling your diabetes. It will even help boost the clarity and concentration in your mind.

If you implement a treadmill walking routine into your exercise program, you might want to invest in a pedometer. Those who monitor their steps each day usually increase their activity and get better results.

If you prefer you can start your treadmill walking routines slowly and over time build up to using your treadmill for longer periods. You will find yourself walking at a faster face, and at a higher incline, both of which will help you to lose weight in the most efficient way, as well as improve your overall health. - 16650

How Much Should One Expect to Pay for Prescription Glasses?

By Amy Nutt

Prescription glasses are not a cheap item, no matter how you look at it. When you buy glasses, you have to pay both for lenses and frames, not to mention the cost of the exam itself. If you need glasses, knowing how much to expect to pay ahead of time is very helpful.

The Cost of Frames Varies

The cost of the frames for your prescription glasses varies tremendously from pair to pair. Designer frames can cost several hundred dollars. For that price you get designer frames that would be the envy of any Hollywood star. You can also buy more affordable frames at discount prices for around $50 or less. Online merchants make it possible to get frames for even less, sometimes close to $20.

There are some special features that can increase the cost of frames. For instance, frames made out of a titanium-based allow known as Flexon are able to return to their normal shape after being damaged. These are great for people who work in high-impact jobs or play sports on a regular basis, but they also cost more. This lightweight, corrosion-resistant material is very popular, making it very popular, and therefore more expensive.

The most affordable frames are plastic frames, but again, designer models will cost more. There are many different metals used to make eyeglass frames as well. High-end frames are often made out of titanium or aluminum, creating a polished look. Monel is the most common metal used in eyeglass frames.

The Cost of Lenses

Frames are not the only things that cost a lot when you are buying eyeglasses. Lenses also contribute to the price of your glasses. Single prescription lenses come in a variety of materials and with several coating options, and each of these adds to the cost.

The cheapest option for your lenses is plastic. Plastic lenses are lightweight and fairly durable, but they do scratch easily. You will pay more to get a scratch-resistant coating on these glasses, but you may find that it pays for itself by making your glasses last longer. You will also pay more if you need special features like slim lenses, which are often necessary if you have a strong prescription.

Polycarbonate is another option you have for your frames. These are lightweight and provided added UV protection, but they cost more than plastic. If you have a strong prescription and wear your glasses all of the time, the lighter weight and UV protection may make the cost worthwhile.

If you have bifocals or trifocals, your lenses will cost even more. Remember, these glasses are basically two or three pairs of glasses in one pair of lenses. Other additional features, such as glasses that darken when you go in the sun or glasses with a glare resistant coating, will increase the cost. On average, frame can cost between $50 and $300, depending on what you choose for them.

Options for Saving Money

Since a pair of glasses could cost as much as $400, depending on the frames you choose and the lenses you need, you are probably wondering how you can save money on them. One option is to shop online. But cutting out a lot of the overhead that a brick and mortar retailer has, online retailers can offer the same lenses and designer frames for a much more reasonable price. Look for a site that has a money back offer, however, because you do not want to be stuck with a shoddy pair of glasses by a less-than-scrupulous company.

Another option is to shop at a 'big box' retailer. Discount stores like Wal-Mart and warehouse stores often have optical departments. These locations typically have a lower cost for their materials because they buy in such tremendous quantities, so you will save money. Remember, you have options if you shop around, so take your time to find an affordable eye care provider. - 16650

Acid Reflux Disease: Home Remedies Can Help You

By Marvin Harris

Do you ever have a burning sensation in your chest at night? It is an uncontrollable feeling in your chest and a funny taste in the back of your mouth. Then you have Acid Reflux Disease. This is usually worse at night when you lie down and can keep you awake! Believe it or not there are many home remedies which can help you with the pain.

There are ordinary items which you find in your kitchen cupboards at home which can help you to overcome the burning sensation in your chest and the taste at the back of your mouth.

Let us think about what causes acid reflux in the first place. In your stomach there is hydrochloric acid which helps you to digest your food. This is released every time you eat. If you add a very acidic diet on top of this, then you are adding more acid to this and it builds up until eventually there is nowhere for it to go but back up!

So you feel a burning sensation in your chest and then you can taste your stomach juices in the back of your throat. Wow, it is making me feel ill just thinking about it!

Luckily for you if you take things which will counteract this acid build up, then you can calm your burning throat and oesophagus. The most important consideration is to cut down the acid content of your diet. Unfortunately you should probably cut out citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons from your diet, caffeine and alcohol. But to cause immediate relief when you experience the heartburn.

Amazingly, drinking apple cider vinegar is thought to help. I know, adding an acid to an acid? But research suggests that by adding the acid in the vinegar actually helps your stomach contents to digest and helps to ease the symptoms. Many fruits are also beneficial. These include figs and apple and papaya.

In summary then, Acid reflux disease is commonly characterized by heartburn or a burning sensation in the chest which usually occurs after a meal or when lying down on your back. Acid reflux disease may also complicate the voice box, and the throat causing them to inflame. It is certainly a serious medical condition.

Fortunately many cases, even severe ones, of acid reflux disease can be minimized or totally eliminated simply by making sure to include routine common items into the daily diet. For innocence, there are actually served in types of apples that can be included in your ordinary diet and eating just a couple of slices at a time that are extremely effective in eliminating the pain and discomfort of acid reflux disease. - 16650

It is not well appreciated that calcium is a heavy metal and as we age it is released by our bones. The dangerous mix of that calcium and cholesterol on the artery walls combine to form a hard plaque that continues to trap more cholesterol and plaque worsening the problem and increasing the chance of heart attack or stroke.

Do you have these danger signs of arterial plaque? Poor circulation including cold feet, hands or arms? Do you get out of breath easily? Are you frequently forgetting things? Are you frequently tired and lacking energy? After walking short distances do you experience aches and pains? Are there any indications of cardiovascular problems?

Consider these statistics from the American Heart Association: -Million Americans Die each year from Cardiovascular Disease. (150,000 of those are under the age of 65!) -approximately one-third (34%) of cardiovascular disease deaths occur prematurely! (before age 75). -Post-menopausal women are in as much danger as men of suffering heart attacks or strokes. - Almost one out of every 2.5 deaths results from cardiovascular disease.

In 1948, U.S. Navy advocated chelation for sailors who had been poisoned by lead while painting government facilities and ships. The FDA approved IV EDTA chelation as a treatment for lead poisoning. Physicians administering the chelation for lead toxicity observed that patients- who also had arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) or atherosclerosis (fatty-plaque buildup on arterial walls)experienced reductions- in both conditions after chelation. Since 1952, IV EDTA chelation has been used to treat cardiovascular disease. - 16650

How to Cook the Perfect Chicken Curry

By KC Kudra

Chicken curry, or curry chicken, is a much-loved dish all over the world and is a great way to use boneless chicken. There are lots of different kinds of chicken curry dishes including Indian curry, Thai curry, Chinese curry and more. Curry can be a lot of fun to experiment with and you can vary the balance of spices or try different spices. You can use different meats or vegetables or add fruit and nuts if you want.

Types of Curries

In India, a curry is a meal with a soup-like consistency. It is made with spices, chickpea flour, clarified butter, and yogurt. The word curry, when used in Thailand, means vegetables, fish, or meat cooked in a spiced sauce.

Different regions have different main curry ingredients. Malaysian curry for example usually has coconut milk as well as bay leaves. Punjabi curry involves wheat instead of rice and includes plenty of cream and butter. Tamil curry is a combination of shallow fried meat and vegetables cooked with dry spices.

Some curry powder mixtures have turmeric in them and it is this which gives curry its distinctive yellow coloring. Ginger, tamarind, coriander, pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, garlic, cumin, nutmeg, and chilies are also used a lot in curry recipes. Curries frequently come in red, green, or yellow variations. A red curry is made from red chilies, a green curry is made from green chilies, and a yellow curry is made mainly with cumin and turmeric but might also have pepper flakes or hot pepper in it.

A boneless chicken curry might be described as hot and spicy, fragrant or fruity, depending on the ingredients and spices used. So how do you go about making a delicious curry out of some boneless chicken, some vegetables, and some spices?

Tips for Cooking Chicken Curry

You should always try to use authentic curry spices rather than a readymade paste or powder. It is easy to find chicken curry ingredients in Asian grocery stores or large general stores.

Do not be afraid to experiment with your curries. Curry has a long history of experimentation and variation. Some of the spices might be unavailable so it is a good idea to become familiar with the flavors and aromas of curry spices to see which ones can be substituted for others. You might be following a chicken tikka masala recipe but feel free to make small changes and see what happens.

Rice is often served with curry but you might like to try serving an Indian bread such as roti or naan instead or a spiced potato recipe. You can also make a dry spicy coating for a boneless chicken breast rather than making a curry sauce. Then you can eat the chicken in a packed lunch or at a picnic. This type of versatility as well as the wonderful flavors is what makes curry dishes as well loved as they are and it is certainly no surprise that curry is such a popular dish all over the world. - 16650

Omega Fatty Acids and Your Health

By Christian Goodman

I grew up in Iceland where we would drink the pure fat from fish liver. It's called lysi and it was awful. Today you can get it in pill form.

As a child, all I really understood is that this horrible drink was somehow healthy for me. As an adult, I now care about validating these types of things. So, I chose to research the value of the fish fat.

Omega Fatty Acids are essential but our bodies cannot produce them. For that reason, we have to supply our bodies with this through other means such as food.

Fish can supply the omega fatty acids (tuna, herring, salmon). Two servings per week though is the suggested limit as they also contain mercury.

Sunflower seeds, soybeans, olive oil and avacados also contain omega fatty acids. There are a number of foods that have the fatty acids added to them in manufacturing such as some cereals, orange juice and baby food.

Getting omega fatty acids through food is considered the best way to get it. You may however want to consult with your doctor or nutritionist to verify just how much you need.

Supplements are another way to get the essential fatty acids if your diet does not currently supply you with an adequate amount.

How is this actually beneficial? For one, babies require it for proper development.

Research even shows that some heart related problems can be reduced by regular intake of omega fatty acids. Blood pressure can also benefit from this.

Rheumatoid arthritis, depression and anxiety disorders are problems that can be assisted with omega fatty acids.

While my Weight Loss Breeze program includes no special dietary requirements, it is very successful if a healthy weight is your goal.

How to Get Rid of Belly Fat

By Phyllis E. Reis

Losing fat from the belly by taking a magical pill or doing specific exercises as thought by many is not a realistic option. The best way to get rid of belly fat is a bit more complicated and requires a greater amount of effort.

Exercise does not mean do a million stomach crunches, or a walk from the couch to the fridge. One of the first steps in finding the best way to get rid of belly fat is to develop a detailed exercise routine.

Advanced aerobic activities are very essential in your daily routine. These activities should be done to loose the fat from your entire body as loosing it from one part of the body is not possible. It's essential to do aerobic activity for at least half an hour per day no less than three days a week in order for it to do any good. Aerobic activity is widely recognized as one of the best ways to get rid of belly fat.

When you know the plan you are going to adhere to, set aside a time every day and then do it no matter what. If you have a certain time set aside for your exercise and stick to it every day, you will be better assured that you will not skip it.

Some people think of a healthy way of eating as the ideal way to eliminate belly fat. Even though a healthydiet is an essential factor to a flatter stomach, it is not adequate by itself. To be able to lose weight, you must follow a healthy eating plan faithfully, one that consists of an abundance of fresh non-starchy vegetables, fruits, lean meats, low fat dairy products and limited carbohydrates.

Following a limited diet that requires you to avoid specific food groups is unhealthy for you in the long term. These fad diets may assist you with obtaining a flatter belly, but the moment that you stop dieting, you will gain the weight back. If you know how to alter your lifestyle, and have a better eating plan, it will be more advantageous to you for your lifetime

As you search for the best way to get rid of belly fat, you should keep in mind the importance of targeted exercises after you've shed some extra weight. Just doing the exercises alone won't be enough to remove the excess fat. But once you've lost some fat in that area, exercises that target your stomach and tone and tighten these core areas will be of greater effectiveness. - 16650

Why And When To Buy A Tuxedo

By Victor Santerino

Rental tuxedos are much more prevalent than consumer owned tuxedos. However, many people should really be purchasing their tuxedos rather than renting them.

I wrote this article to help give people the knowledge they need to determine whether they should buy or rent. After reading this article you will be prepared prepared to make a definite decision.

The first thought you should broach is, how frequently do I make use of rental tuxedos. After asking yourself this question, you may find that you wear a tuxedo more than once every other year. This means you really need to buy a tuxedo.

The cost of a tuxedo is dramatically less than the inexperienced buyer believes. The reality is that most people will make money by purchasing instead of renting.

Accessories usually don't even need to be purchased in their entirety. The belt, black dress shoes, and even dress shirts can be found near your suit.

The whole rental operation can be quite frustrating. Tuxedo renters need to go to the shop a minimum of three times and must remember to bring the tux back in a timely manner or face late charges. Avoid this stress by making a tuxedo purchase.

Lastly, the joy of ownership is a fantastic feeling that is felt in a tuxedo purchase the same way it is felt in a suit purchase. You may even feel better after purchasing your tux, because it is something unique that many people do not get to do.

I hope this article has been some use to you. Please bookmark this page and recommend it to your friends and family members. - 16650

Healing With Essential Oils Using Reflexology

By Theresa Webber

Originally known as zone or reflex therapy, Reflexology is a holistic healing method that assists the healing of the body through the use of therapeutic pressure and massage of the reflex points found on the feet and the hands. There is evidence that the art and science of Reflexology was used by the ancient Egyptians, Japanese, and Indian cultures as a tool to encourage and facilitate excellent health. Modern Reflexology is rooted in research in Europe and Russia dating back over 125 years. Russian physicians of the early 1900's followed the reflex research of Nobel prize winner Ivan Pavlov to create today's reflex therapy. Through stimulation of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, and by encouraging the release of toxins, Reflexology supports the entire body in healing itself.

A method for 'activating the healing powers of the body', modern Reflexology is both a science and an art. As a science, it requires careful study, practice, technical knowledge, and skill. As a healing art, Reflexology works best when the therapist works with patience, dedication, intention, and (most importantly) loving care. Frequently, therapeutic grade essential oils are used on the reflex points -- however Reflexology is not a 'foot massage'. Reflexology does not diagnose or treat specific diseases. Though when combined with sound healing practices, reflexology can facilitate the body's strong natural impulse towards health and well-being.

Science teaches that one's vital energy circulates between the various organs while saturating every living cell and tissue. It has long been known that good health depends on the dynamic balance and natural functioning of all the body systems. This ever-changing state of balance is called homeostasis. In order for the body to function optimally, all systems must act in synergistic harmony. If the energy becomes blocked or congested in one part of the body the whole organism is affected. Through the use of precisely applied techniques and oils, blockages can be released and health can unfold naturally.

Stress reduction is an important benefit of the practice, as stress is the source of many (if not all) the imbalances in our bodies. Reflexology assists in alleviating the effects of stress by inducing deep relaxation. The nervous system is allowed to rest and consequently functions in a more balanced state. As the body moves toward homeostasis, healing can take effect. Lavender essential oil is fabulous for decreasing stress and facilitating relaxation. 3-4 drops of therapeutic grade Lavender essential oil in the palm of your hand and then gently holding your friends or clients feet with the intention of sending them love and relaxation. Other relaxing essential oils include: Sandalwood, Frankincense, Blue Tansy, Rose, and Roman Chamomile. A lovely calming blend includes equal parts Lavender and Chamomile in the carrier oil of choice. Rose essential oil is fabulous for opening the energy of the heart.

Reflexology can also assist in the cleansing and purification of toxic energy, the revitalization of vigor, and the balance and integration of the natural rhythms of the body. Gravity pulls toxins downward to the feet therefore reflexology is a natural tool for helping to clear this old energy. A skilled reflexologist can pull these impurities from the feet using both proper massage techniques and cleansing, detoxifying essential oils.

Soaking the feet in epsom salts with a few drops of essential oils can help to facilitate the release of old energy - this can be done at the completion of a session, or in between sessions. This is a very healing therapy that is safe for elderly, pregnant, and children. Use one-quarter to one-half cup of epsom salts in warm water. Add in three to four drops of essential oils and relax for half an hour. Foot baths are wonderful for those who have been ill or are exhausted. Aromatherapy baths are generally considered safe as long as the essential oils are properly dispersed throughout the water - the essential oils can be diluted in a carrier oil before pouring into the foot bath. Grapefruit, Geranium, and Juniper are all wonderful essential oils for detoxification, and can be used at the same time as oils for relaxation, such as Lavender, Sandalwood or Ylang Ylang.

Reflexology stimulates and encourages blood flow to the feet thus helping to nourish all the extremities of the body. Studies have shown that Spruce essential oil is an excellent choice for those with poor circulation. Spruce is non-toxic and non-irritating.Ylang Ylang Sweet Marjoram, and Lavender essential oil have been found to reduce blood pressure. Further, Reflexology is an excellent way to revitalize energy. Low energy levels are often due to accumulations of toxins and energy blockages. Once those are released, uplifting essential oils can be used to restore natural vital energy balance. Bergamot oil is excellent for this, and is the foremost 'natural anti-depressant' essential oil. Rosemary is also very uplifting and energizing; other oils can be uplifting and calming at the same time; Black Spruce and Pine (Pinus kessia) are particularly suited for this.

As energy pathways are opened, strengthened, and brought into balance, the body returns to its natural rhythms and energy flows naturally. The body, mind, and spirit are brought back into balance. Rose essential oil (Rose 'otto') is a wonderful oil for balancing and integrating the energy pathways of the body. Facilitate this healing by gently 'anointing' your friends feet with Rose oil and then along them to bask in the high vibration healing of this beautiful flower. Ylang Ylang can also be a perfect balancer, bringing the masculine and feminine energies into harmony. Remember, with all the oils, the tiniest amounts will have important healing action; the aromas should always be subtle and pleasant for both the client and practitioner.

As with all natural healing modalities, both the practitioner and the client benefit from the healing process. This active healing extends into into other areas of life, further creating an environment of well-being. Reflexology is an excellent way to assist oneself and one's client in becoming independently healthy. It is my opinion after having benefited from both receiving and sharing reflexology sessions with many clients, friends, and family that Reflexology is an exceptional natural tool. It is easy to get started, either performing the practice on yourself or with a friend, letting your intuition guide you through this important, loving process. - 16650

When A Win Doesn't Feel Like A Win

By Jennifer Dumas

We teach our kids early on the importance of team sports in their lives. By the age of 5 most children a involved in a team sport or group activity. Mom, dad, I am sure you proudly recall watching your first born playing soccer at the age of 5. The rules are simple. Everyone plays and nobody loses. Funny how the game always seems to end in a tie. Your little guy chases the ball mixed into a cluster with the other children. It's wild kicking in that cloud of kids. Thank goodness for shin guards! With time and practice your child continues to improve and quickly develops some real athletic talent.

He or she continues to work hard to develop those athletic skills. You pay for the private instuction and make the commitment to practice and play 5 days a week or more. That hard work pay off as he and his teammates win league games, tournments and move on to thier sports version of the "World Series".

As a family, you commit to raise the money to make your child's "World Series" deam a reality. You sell hotdogs, wash cars, and seek sponsors. Your friends , family and community rally around you, contributing to the cause. You have raised the funds...the team will have their opportunity to play.

You are surprised by the athletic talent of the opposing teams as you arrive at your child's tournment. It is then that you find out that this tournment allows teams to pick up "stud" players. To stay competitive with the other teams your coach feels he must do the same. The result... Your child and many of his teammates sit on the bench.

What message do we send to our children? "Thanks for all your hardwork this season, but have a seat. You're not good enough to play these kids". Isn't it your child and his teammates played hard to make it to this level? I say come as a team, play as a team, leave as a team! - 16650

Why And When To Buy A Tuxedo

By Victor Santerino

Tuxedos are often rented rather than purchased, and for good reason. Many people will never have a need to purchase a tux and shouldn't. However, you should decide whether you are one of these people before continuing to rent.

This article was written to help people learn why they may need to buy a tuxedo rather than rent it. Upon finishing this article you can decide for yourself what must be done.

Firstly, you need to know how often you will be wearing a tuxedo over the next few years. A good way to determine this is to look at the past few years. If you have been averaging more than once every two years than it is a good idea to buy a tuxedo.

The cost of a tuxedo is dramatically less than the inexperienced buyer believes. The reality is that most people will make money by purchasing instead of renting.

Also you don't have to buy everything that you would normally rent with a tuxedo package. For instance you can use the black dress shoes you wear with your suit for your tuxedo. You can also use the white dress shirt you normally wear to work.

The whole rental operation can be quite frustrating. Tuxedo renters need to go to the shop a minimum of three times and must remember to bring the tux back in a timely manner or face late charges. Avoid this stress by making a tuxedo purchase.

The pride of possession is a stupendous feeling that can only be achieved through a purchase. This feeling will lead you to look and feel more confident in your owned tuxedo than your rented tuxedo.

Causes and Identification Of Sciatica and Sciatic Inflammation

By Jim Fillsons

I experienced some very annoying sciatic nerve pain a few years ago, and it nearly knocked me out of my game. In fact, I could barely function at work; and I have a desk job! But where does sciatica come from and how do we get it? Is there a way to get rid of it without worrying about medical bills and long bouts of physical therapy?

For the most part, people who have sciatica will tend to complain of a shooting pain down their backside, down the leg and into the heal. Some folks feel the pain running deeper, while others feel it just in certain areas, but it is always on the back side. Some people also say that they experience numbing or even tingling that radiates down the back end. It can always get worse with stress.

Sciatica is caused by any number of reasons but the main one is from physical strain over the years of one's life. Some of the more common ones are bad posture both in sitting and sleeping, muscle strains from sports or other strenuous activities or other physical maladies. All of these add up to extra stress on the sciatic nerve and surrounding tissue which can cause the flair ups. For the most part, it is the nerve itself that is normally being irritated, where from tumors, pregnancy or other factors.

Moreover, the most usual cause of Sciatica is the extreme and constant contraction of the muscles. The sciatic nerve runs under the piriformis muscle, and this muscle is positioned in the lower section of the spine and aid with the hip rotation. The piriformis muscle is prone to being hurt by arthritis in the hip, a fall, or when one leg is shorter than the other since this can bring in spasms and contraction in the muscle which squeeze the Sciatic nerve.

To find out the cause of sciatica, the doctor has to evaluate the patient's medical history, and have them to undergo a neurological and physical examination. This medical examination consists of MRI, CT scan, and x-rays.

you should be prepared to undergo all of these tests and more, should you pain persist. If left un-treated, the pain or sciatica will knock you out of commission for sure. Keep in mind that getting to the root cause is the foremost goal in beginning treatment. Sciatica has many causes.

There is a way to cure sciatica and the discomfort that comes with it, but you need to be prepared to work at it. Curing the problem may involve several steps and you it will not be easy. It takes persistence and the ability to work for the goal. Do it right, and you will be get better. - 16650

Improve Your Golf Swing with Massage Therapy

By Steve Esquire

Your golf swing is everything to having a good golf game. Your swing involves the coordination of many different muscle groups in tandem. If any of them are off, then so is your swing and the ball will be off the mark. Proper warm up before playing a round helps get your muscles groups working together. This may include stretching, calisthenics and massage therapy. It is vital to get your body prepared properly for the physical activity of swinging your clubs. Massage therapy delivered with a massage chair is an effective way to get your body and muscles loosened up for your next round of golf.

Golf although it is a low aerobic sport, still puts significant stress on the body. The repetitive nature of the swing puts disproportionate stress on the lower back, wrist, elbow, shoulder, knees and hips. These areas must work in tandem to produce a true swing. If there is tightness or soreness, then the body tends to compensate. This affects the outcome of your swing and where your ball will go. Proper warm up and stretching helps to loosen muscles and prepare them to work harmoniously together.

The regions that need proper stretching are your shoulders, arms, back, hips and legs. Develop and sustain a stretching routine prior to playing. Make sure you hit all the above listed areas. Calisthenics are another important element to add to your routine. Walking also helps you get your body ready. Using a massage chair to loosen up tight muscles and tendons helps your muscles in addition to stretching.

Massage chair recliners include the most effective massage therapies such as Shiatsu, Swedish, Sports and Deep Tissue massages. You have many controls to pinpoint exactly where you need the most attention. Pre-game massages can increase the circulation of blood and lymph, loosen sore or tight muscles and even increase your mental awareness. Professional athletes use massage therapy to give them an edge and perform at their best. When getting a massage, be sure to drink a cup of water for proper hydration.

An area of particular importance is the lower back. Most golfers complain about lower back pain. The lower back or lumbar area is the fulcrum of your swing. The leverage in your swing is a function of this pivot point. This is used repetitively throughout the day on every swing. It is vitally important that the major muscle groups used in this area are effectively warmed up. This includes the low back, hips and legs. These areas need to be warmed up and stretched. A good warm up includes the application of heat to enhance blood flow and a penetrating deep tissue massage.

What can cause injuries during the golf game? Many golf injuries come from over-swinging, poor swing mechanics, hitting the ground or excessively twisting during your swing. Most of these can be prevented. If you warm up correctly, then you can reduce the chance of these happening to you. As you can see, the swing is where the vast majority of golf related injuries can occur. Be smart and get a routine warm up to help prevent these happening to you. Your warm up must be thorough and consistent to help reduce injury. Furthermore, know your own personal limits and do not push your limits too far.

You should seriously consider adding massage therapy as part of your warm up like professional athletes do. Sports massage is part and parcel of the proper warm up to help achieve peak performance. You want to make sure all the major muscle groups that constitute your golf swing are included. This also helps reduce the chance of injury and increases your longevity. Do not wait until you are injured. Once injuries start to occur, then it is difficult to fully recover. Your golf swing is very sensitive to problems such as injuries which can affect your game permanently. Get a great sports massage with a massage chair recliner and get your swing the best it can be. - 16650

How To Make Jerky Quickly and Easily

By Jonni Haydens

Creativity is what truly makes great beef jerky. You can learn how to make beef jerky easily. But learning how to make great tasting, one of a kind beef jerky with take some time and experimenting.

You can try all different types of combination in search of making truly great beef jerky. For example, don't just stop at beef...try and switch it up by using turkey or bison meat. You may be pleasantly surprised at how great tasting it may end up being.

Let's start letting our imagination go and use some red wine in our beef jerky. Yes, you heard me right. We are going to use your favorite red wine and make come red wine beef jerky. However, remember to use the wine in small amounts because we do not want to get the jerky too wet because then it will be hard to dry.

Just a word of caution. The first batch of jerky you make will probably not be very good. It's just like learning anything and it will take some time to master. But the more you make, then better you will get and in turn your beef jerky will also taste better.

Now, first things first. The meat. What do you choose? That's truly a personal preference, but we recommend Sirloin Tip for the best results. If you wish to experiment with other cuts, go right ahead. We just prefer the sirloin for its initial tenderness. If you are buying it from a big box store, you will be cutting it up yourself, so do this is really thin slices " about 1/8" thick but, partially freeze it to make it easier to cut. At 1/8" thick, it drys faster in the dehydrator. If you happen to still buy your meat from a butcher, get them to cut it for you " with the grain for tender final results.

All cut and ready to go? Did you remember to take off all the fat, or as much as you can? This isn't because you want to make it leaner or to cut down on calories, it's because fat does not dry out and will go rancid. Okay let's say you are going to marinate your slices of meat. This is where the creativity comes alive. Get that bottle of wine and here is what you do with it.

For your red wine marinade you will be using 1/2 cup of wine, 2 crushed garlic cloves (wooo- powerful mojo), 1/2 cup soy sauce (salt free), 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic peppercorns, and if you're a bear for punishment, add some crushed red pepper for extra zing to taste. If you don't want to be putting out flames later, take it easy on the red pepper. Pop all these ingredients into a large, zippered plastic bag along with the sliced meat, sling it in the fridge and leave it over night.

Once the meat has finished marinating it is now time to put it in the dehydrator. It will usually take around 6 - 12 hours to completely dry and you will want to keep a close eye on it to make certain you do not over dry it. Once you reach the 6 hour mark, take a piece out and cut it to check if it is ready. Continue doing this every so often until it is ready. Once it is done it is time to take a bite and see how your beef jerky turned out. - 16650

Debaufre and Urich, a partnership starting in 2009.

By Scott Henry

Debaufre watches, a U.S.-based family owned Swiss watch company, forms a partnership with the original owner and editor of Hr:Watches Magazine, Joe Urich. The partnership, which begins in Jan of 2009, enriches the Debaufre team by bringing Urich's expertise and insight to the business model of Debaufre, thereby creating a deeper personal connection with watch enthusiasts. "Urich adds a tremendous value to Debaufre because of his history of publishing an uncensored opinion about the watch industry in Hr:Watches Magazine, this in turn created a connection with watch enthusiasts due to his honesty. Thanks to the help and support of our customers, Debaufre has grown to a much larger company faster than we expected. We believe the partnership with Urich will boost our reach even further and improve customer satisfaction by bringing a celebrated and recognized voice to the team." says Alldaron, VP of Debaufre, as he sips on a Vodka Martini.

Urich founded Hr:Watches Magazine in the mid 1990's, pouring forth from the pages he published an uncensored opinion of the world of Swiss timepieces. Watch collectors and casual enthusiasts alike welcomed the magazine as a fresh approach. Of course Urich shook things up, showing no favoritism, sharing with his readers the benefits and shortcomings of the watch industry as seen from his point of view.

Debaufre launched in 2005, favoring an online sales approach over the traditional retail store channels, realizing that enough companies existed which catered to the retail store genre. At the time of its launch, Debaufre was met with skepticism and ridicule for its efforts to branch out into an unproven marketplace against all conventional wisdom.

The Online Generation is a new type of consumer, with new habits and a new mentality, realizing the internet eliminates retail store delay and decreases expenses to a watch buyer. Online is the future, the days of retail stores for watches are slowly coming to an end, buyers realize that direct sales is the way to go, just look at Amazon or Tiger Direct. Debaufre has maintained a strong foothold in the watch industry as the major brand catering to the Online Generation and has built a tremendous following, even receiving plenty of repeat customers and lots of word of mouth.

Urich believes in the vision which Debaufre watches is focusing on, and he joined to contribute uncensored insight and insider expertise about the watch industry. "The approach of Debaufre is the future, it is visionary and ahead of its time as a watch company. Debaufre takes a personal interest in the people they do business with." says Urich. The attention and criticism Debaufre has received over the years only proves that this approach, this focus, online direct sales, works and is the future of the Swiss watch industry.

Be sure to read the blog by Urich, hear his words, be inspired by his outlook and excited by his predictions. Stay tuned and check out Debaufre at www.debaufre.com and The Urich Blog at www.debaufre.com/urich - 16650
