What our tiny furry 6 legged honey bee blesses us: The Bee Pollen

June 30th 2010 06:17
Hi everyone!

I have been working a lot and travelling a lot recently, until I hardly have any time to post anything interesting / informative until now.

Recently I took a trip to Chiang Mai with my colleagues for a short break after extreme long hours of work on projects. And one of the destinations our friendly and helpful tour guide from No.1 Chiang Mai Tours took us was - a honey production factory, the Thepprasit Honey. Which harvests honey from the highlands of Thailand.


There I have learned some nifty interesting quick ways to detect a pure honey, but seemed that a website that speaks a lot about honey said that it isn't a 100% accuracy to test that outside the lab, so I'll push aside talking about pure honey and take your attention to:

(before I do so, I've learned that to reduce sourness of honey in your drink, ONLY USE plastic spoons)

The Bee Pollen
bee pollen


If you have a real bee pollen with you and if you look closely enough, you can actually see tiny bee footprints on it, which makes it more interesting for me to find out more about this, besides listening to the explanation of the sales personnel.

According to benefits-of-honey.com, the bee pollen is actually packed full of nutrients, from rich protein, amino acids to B Complex. And the best part is that besides lowering cholesterol, increasing immune system, it helps to loose weight! That's pretty much "honey" to every girl's ear.

(hahaha... I think I really need that after dining at McDonalds throughout the World Cup season to watch HD screen football)

And according to the owner of bee-pollen-buzz.com owner, Angela, the benefits of consuming bee pollen daily does help strengthen individual's stamina, because of its highly packed nutrients.

(Please click on the link to read the details of the benefits of bee pollen from Angela's interview as I do not want to repost it here.)

However, good stuffs doesn't come cheap. If you think you might want to give it a try, you will need to check out whether its genuine. A suggested area less polluted bee pollen are manufactured from Canada, or New Zealand. Well, now, we know it can be found from the Northern Thailand too.

Bee pollen can be consumed through mixing onto mid-warm drinks (around 60 - 70 deg C) or made a smoothie, sprinkled on cereals, and even consumed directly. (Currently I just started consuming directly during lunch whenever I feel hungry)

Angela also suggested a "Super Smoothie" recipe that I might want to try it out.
Ingredients
2 scoops high Quality vanilla Protein Powder (preferably one WITHOUT aspartame or sucralose)
1/2 banana
1/2 Cup raspberries
1-2 TBSP Bee Pollen
1 TBSP liquid honey
Instructions
Blend until liquified, but don't over blend as some of the nutrients may be damaged or lost due to the heat of the blender.

So, enjoy reading the details, and believe me, I'll let you know how I feel after finishing the 500g bee pollen in months time.

Note:
According to the sales personnel, because of its natural bitter-sweet, it is save to be consumed by diabetic patients.
If anyone has allergic background, start consuming in tiny bits (like 1/3 of teaspoon) and gradually increase its amount. If you have allergy reaction stop consuming it immediately.

No More Supersize Chocolate Bars!

May 29th 2010 04:03
First of all, did anyone here craving with chocolate? If you did, then the news is going to disappoint you here…

The Food Standards Agency has warned the chocolate manufacturers to cut down the size of chocolate bar and confectionery related products!

According to the standardized scale, the size of the chocolate bars should not be larger than 40 gram. Hence, most of the chocolate bars are against the rules, as they’re having a size much bigger than it!



The FSA have called the dairy and confectionary manufacturers to reduce the amount of saturated fat and added sugar in chocolate, as it’s one of the biggest reasons that contributing to obesity.

The FSA warned that they’re going to take an action to those manufacturers who didn’t obey the rules.

In addition, FSA also restricted the cans of fizzy drinks to cut off its regular 330 ml to 250 ml by 2015 as well!

It seems that FSA will have many works to follow up in the upcoming years.

Making Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich by Using Only Hot Iron!

May 22nd 2010 02:17
I loved to do many different activities, when I’m have free time. Travel is one of my favorite hobbies, as I can gain more knowledge and taking many beautiful photos, so that I can share it with my friends!

When I’m traveling, I always brought several things, such as an Iron, aluminium foil and a universal socket. Hehe, you must be wondering, “Why I’m bringing these stuffs besides me?” Well, let me revealed the secret behind the story…

Go figure, you’ve woke up from your bed in the motel, but you’re too lazy to get to the downstairs to have your breakfast? In this case, I can use the iron, aluminium foil and a universal socket to make a simple breakfast.



Here are the steps for preparing the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich:

1. First of all, you must preheat the iron until it reached 100 degree celsius. Beside that, don't forget to fold the iron with the aluminium foil!

2. Secondly, take a slice of bread and ironing it for about 4 minutes.

3. Then, put the cheese above the bread.

4. After that, get a slice of bacon and iron it under the hot iron for 3 minutes.

5. Lastly, you have to iron the egg on the iron for about 3 minutes. In order to avoid the egg's fluid from spitting out, you should use a round mould to hold the egg while it's being ironed on the hot iron!

Ta-Da, your Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich is finished in 10 minutes.
Enjoy your meal!

Keep Your Eyes On Your Loved Ones!

May 15th 2010 02:10
Recently, I watched a television series named, “Mental”. It’s talking about the life of a radical unorthodox psychiatrist, Dr. Jack Gallagher with his colleagues offer strange treatments for the mental illness patients!

Each of the episodes is describing about a new mental illness, such as phobias, bipolar disorder, autism and much more. The more ironic thing is up to 70 percent of the mental illnesses are causing by the environment, rather than the congenital disease!

The National Confidential Inquiry in UK has pointed out that the suicide rates amongst the people who having mental illnesses have been hugely increased between 1997 and 2005!



They discovered that those who are diagnosed with schizophrenia and delusions have a higher rate of killing themselves! In addition, they’ve been recorded a rise of the suicide cases for those women who having postnatal depression!

Hence, you should keep your eyes on your loved ones from time to time, as it helps us to prevent the unfortunately events from happening on your family members or friends!

What’s Your Breakfast Grades?

October 4th 2009 04:20
Breakfast (Honestly, did anyone know why it’s pronounced “Breakfirst”, as it supposed to be “Breakfast”? This question has been bothering for a very long time…!) is to be known as the most important meal of the day, and everyone should take it before they’re heading to work/school!

However, many people seems to be neglected the breakfast, where they’re mostly skipped it for many reasons, such as wake up late, don’t have time, hate to eat breakfast and blah, blah, blah…

Honestly, they didn’t know the fact that those people who don’t love to have breakfast might have higher risk of getting gastrointestinal related cancers than those who practicing it everyday!

Oh, you’re deciding to eat breakfast, after reading the article? Well done, my friend. However, before you’re starting to do it, there are several things that you should know about it!

Did you know that breakfast have its label/grade like brands too? Let me show you, what is the different of grade “A” breakfast from the grade “B”, “C” and “D”!

Grade A breakfast: It must contain oatmeal, wholegrain breads, skim milk, pine nuts and orange juice.

Grade B breakfast: It mostly contain breakfast bar, breakfast shake or pancake with maple syrup!

Grade C breakfast: Sugary cereal, pastry or fast food sandwich.

Grade D breakfast: These are mostly junk or unhealthy foods, such as Pizza, McDonald, Fried Chicken, casserole and other (You named it!)

So, based on the above breakfast, what’s your breakfast mostly fallen into? Is it the healthy style, “Grade A” or the self-destruct style, “Grade D”?

You make your own decision…

The Best Ways to Eat Well and Cheap in This Recession!

September 6th 2009 07:16
Honestly, it’s quite hilarious. Did you know, someone would prefer to skip their lunch to save up more money in their wallet? To be honest, it happened on my colleague, Elaine where she refused to eat during lunch time, as she decided to keep the money for other purpose (Ah, ah, ah…, don’t try to do it, as you’re the one who suffered in the very end!)

Well, if you’re thinking that it’s pretty costly to eat outside, why don’t you wake up an hour early everyday and prepare your own lunch?

Below here is my own recipe of simple pasta and it’s suitable for all people, no matter you’re omnivore, carnivore or herbivore (Sorry, it sounds like we’re animals here! lol)

Tasty Veggie Pasta

• 200 gram of pasta (Any favor is OK)
• 3 tablespoon of virgin olive oil
• 1 big garlic cloves (Minced)
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• ¼ cup Brazilian nuts

Cooking Process:

1. First of all, mix all the virgin olive oil, garlic, basil and Brazilian nuts. Remember to put in some salt and pepper into it. Blend it with a blender machine until it becoming a thick sauce.
2. Cook your pasta accordingly.
3. Separate the thick sauce and pasta in a lunch box.
4. Only mix them together, when you’re about to eat it!

Try it out and let me know, how it tastes, OK?

The Great and Healthy Way to Lose Up to 10 lbs in Seven Days

August 15th 2009 08:10
There are over hundred or thousand of weight loss formulas in the market. The more ironic thing is, over 59.2 percent of people from all around the world have tried at least one weight loss program/product in their life!

Honestly, you’re free to try anything you want, as it’s your own rights to do so! The only problem is, not all the weight loss programs are effective for us, and even some of them will harm our health or leaving side effects to our body!

Frankly, I’ve seen many people suffering like hell, especially when they’re failed to lose away their weight. The even worst thing is, some of them got diagnosed with bipolar disorder or depression, due to their inability to slim down!

According to the nutritionists, up to 60 percent of the overweight people are not from the genetics, but it’s highly related with their daily diets! This means, one of the main reasons why the obesity has becoming a serious problem among human race is due to the unhealthy eating habit.

If you’re one of them who suffering with the obesity, but you resist to try the weight loss pills, maybe the healthy cabbage soup diet is able to help you overcome the problem.

For your information, the cabbage soup diet is a radical weight loss diet, which is well-designed for those people who want to try out the low-calorie cabbage soup and keep diet in the same time.



The cabbage soup diet plan is a low-fat, high-fiber foods plan, which is requiring the users to follow up a serial of healthy diet for the whole week (Seven days).

Many people using this method to cleanse their digestive system and most of them claimed to lose up to 10 lbs in only seven days.

The cabbage soup diet is much effective and less dangerous too, if it compares with other weight loss programs that have many harmful side effects.

Remember, “A bowl of cabbage soup a day, keeps the thyroid cancer away!”

Mango lovers (like me) would find it delightful as well, and moreover, this salad boasts beta-carotene from the mango and lutein from the spinach, which are cousins in the carotenoid family and important antioxidants. Aside from cancer prevention and survival, Lutein is recognized for its key role in eye health.

Hope you all enjoy!

Walnuts – The Best and Essential Food for Elders!

June 18th 2009 10:08
Well, we’ve always been advised to add certain types of foods into cooking, as it might help to prevent assorted diseases.

Today, I would like to talk about the Walnuts. For those of you that love the walnuts taste, then here’s the another solid reasons, why you must insert walnuts into the diet!

The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists have been discovered that by adding a moderate amount of walnut into a cooking might help to improve the elders’ motor and behavioral skills.

The research group pointed out that walnuts are rich in polyphenols and other unsaturated fatty acids. These essential minerals are important to boost up the neural tissue and hence improving the performance on tasks of the aging people, especially when they require the motor and behavioral skills to do some simple tasks in their daily life.

If you do love about your parents or the elders, then you must add at least 20 grams of walnuts into the main meal everyday!

By the way, I got a recipe here and it’s called, “The Sweet Candied Walnut”. You can try it if you want to…

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup of coarse sugar,
• ½ cup of brown sugar,
• ½ cup of brown sugar,
• ¼ cup of sour cream,
• 2 cups of walnuts.

Cooking Process:

First thing first, mix all the sugar, brown sugar and sour cream into a pot. Cook it until the whole mixture becoming sticky.

Secondly, add the walnuts into the pot and stir it until all the walnuts has been coated with the mixture.

Lastly, pour the candied walnuts into a plate and put it into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Voila, you’re now have the icy cold and sweet candied walnuts!
