Coronation Chicken Make-Over

by lifestylesister

My friends Emily and Rob came to stay for the weekend so I wanted to stock the fridge with a few easy to grab goodies.  Coronation Chicken is so easy to make and to my mind it’s versatile and a bit of a winner (hope they like it!).  My husband tells me all the time that I can ‘never follow a recipe’ and that I always have to give it a ‘Sarah twist’ – this one’s no exception, haha!  Well, I’ve made it a little lower inJust like the kamagra effervescent tablets you can consume Kamagra Jelly with ease. viagra prescription Like any remedy, cialis india online http://appalachianmagazine.com/2019/12/04/the-coldest-acre-in-appalachia/ has side effects and doesn’t cause eye or heart dysfunctions;* It works during 6 hours. cialis today and make sure that this drug is 100% ensured to work yet in tests we have had a 97% achievement rate.

Gluten Free, Low Carb Herby Muffins

by lifestylesister

I came up with a new recipe the other day and decided it was too good not to share! My inspiration came from the fresh herbs sitting in the window and my love of cake…I think I just really like the texture but don’t always want something sweet.  To be honest, my taste buds have changed so much, my idea of sweet is probably not sweet at all to most people!

These muffins are also Gluten Free and Low Carb.  They do contain Feta so are not dairy free, however you could always miss out the feta and just add a little more sea salt (I think the feta really adds to the Mediterranean flavour though!).

The Acne/Nut Connection

by lifestylesister

Have you got Acne and do you eat lots of Nuts?

Recently I’ve had a bit of an acne flare up and I couldn’t understand why.  Alcohol went from my life on the 2nd of January, I eat healthily, exercise, drink lots of water…everything we are supposed to do.  Could it be a detox effect from giving up alcohol? (I didn’t think I really drank that much and always had alcohol free days!).  My gut instinct told me it had to be more than that, so I started to do a bit if digging on the internet.  Here’s what I found;

In a Nutshell

Firstly, I’ll be clear in saying nuts do not ’cause’ acne, but if you are someone who already has acne they could be aggravating it.  Nuts contain both Omega-6 essential fatty acids as well as Omega-3 EFA’s.  For optimal health we need both these EFA’s in the correct ratio.  Most nuts are higher in Omega-6’s than Omega-3’s.  We tend to get plenty of Omega-6’s but are usually lacking in Omega-3’s.  When you eat lots of nuts you are only increasing this imbalance.

The chart below details the ratio of omega 3:6 in a selection of nuts and seeds

 

Why does an imbalance in the Omega-3:6 ratio aggravate acne?

By now we all know that acne is an inflammatory condition.  To quote Chris Kresser;

“-In plain English, what this means is that the more omega-3 fat you eat, the less omega-6 will be available to the tissues to produce inflammation. Omega-6 is pro-inflammatory, while omega-3 is neutral. A diet with a lot of omega-6 and not much omega-3 will increase inflammation. A diet of a lot of omega-3 and not much omega-6 will reduce inflammation.-”

The best ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 for optimum health is 2:1 or 1:1 – studies in America have shown that the average diet is closer to a 1:15 to 1:32 ratio!  I’m sure this is probably true of the average British person too!

It’s also really important to check your consumption of oils.  When eating a lot of packaged foods such as cakes, biscuits and ready meals you can be sure you’re Omega’s will be heavily weighing towards too much 6.  Another reason to cut the packet food when you have acne – and actually just for your health’s sake even if you have clear skin!

The chart below for the ratio of Omega 3:6 in some commonly consumed oils

The Hormone Connection

Omega-3 and Omega-6 are essential fatty acids – meaning we cannot make them on our own and they must be obtained from our diet.  Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) are two critical omega-3’s.  They are the building blocks for hormones that control immune function, blood clotting and cell growth as well as components of cell membranes.  
All one needs to do is to improve your lifestyle routine to overcome stress and tensions and thus the problem of buying levitra anxiety would be solved. Caverta has been the best solution to no rx levitra the issue of baldness. Males, who are unable to maintain hardness of the male and the kind of disorders they face due to which this viagra sale downtownsault.org problem arises to the man. At present time, everyone has a busy and fast-paced lifestyle and hence people want everything at their fingertips and done cipla cialis italia at the click of a button.

The body also constructs hormones from Omega-6’s EFA’s, but these tend to increase inflammation – such as in an immune response for blood clotting and cell proliferation etc. Since Omega-3 EFA’s do the opposite it’s important they are in balance.

I have kept this post fairly simple because there’s plenty more information on the internet on this subject (see links below). 

My stand point is as someone who’s constantly trying to manage her acne prone skin.  My experiment with giving up nuts is only on it’s 3rd day as I write this post.  So far, even after just a few days of going ‘nut free’ I can say there is an improvement in my skin – it definitely feels calmer and is less spotty.  This is not to say I will, or you have to give up nuts forever!  Perhaps once my skin is in better condition a few nuts can sneak back in.  This situation has made me aware of how important it is to consume more Omega-3 whilst keeping Omega’6’s in check.

Stay tuned for my next post when I will share something else in the fight against acne!  This is something I had not heard of in all my years of ‘Acne’ – but it seems to be doing wonders for many people!

Podcasts and Products for Women and Fat Loss

by lifestylesister

ATP Science, my new favourite Podcasts and Products! 

There’s so much misinformation around these days with regards to health, diet and fitness so when I came across ATP Science I realised I’d found a very trusted source.  Their products are also fantastic and the stack above is a good one for women with fat loss goals in mind.  However, we are all different so its a good idea to check what’s right for you.  Below are just some of my favourites;

ATP Science Episode 33 – Secret Women’s Business

ATP Science Episode 2 – Estrogen

ATP Science Episode 95 – T432 Prod-cast

ATP Science Episode 93 – Brain & Gut  Hormone tips for Fat Loss

ATP Science Episode 21 – Transdermal Delivery Systems

ATP Science Episode 102 – Functional Foods for Fat Loss

In case you are wondering who the hell ATP Science are, I have taken the piece below from their website explaining all about them.

So how did ATP Science come into existence?

“On a cold winters day in 2010 a Graphic artist, Scientist and Businessman walk into a coffee shop and were never the same again.

Toni and Jeff, sat under gas lit heater, cupping a mug-o-chino waiting for this legendary “rock star formulator” to arrive. The guy sounded like a super nerd, formulating for the who’s who of supplement companies, a brilliant naturopath and all round amazing talent. Expecting to see a balding glass-wearing super geek with a massive cranium – both Jeff and Toni were taken aback when Matt entered the shop.  Looking more like a front row forward, tall and heavy set with long curly hair – he could not have looked further from what they had envisioned.  “Gday, Im Matt” he said sticking out his hand, his broad “ocker Aussie” accent more reminiscent of Steve Irwin the crocodile hunter than any nerd.

But like most things in life the diamonds are sometimes in the rough. Jeff and Toni were soon to discover this scientist was exactly what they had been looking for; brilliant, honest and uncompromising (and as he would say “devilishly handsome”). For Matt, Jeff and Toni were just the business people he had wished to meet and somewhat of a rarity – they were honest. One thing was for sure – nothing was going to be the same after that day and very soon after they met Jeff, Toni and Matt founded Advanced Technology and Pharmacology Science now known as ATP Science (which is way easier to say AND write) and set about with a simple idea – to change the world and make people better one person at a time.
Start with quitting smoking if buy viagra professional you’re on it. Buy drugs like viagra online canadian check out for more info now or Generic Vardenafil online this medicine help your potency Impotence can occur as well, but this side effect is not unexpected given the nature of the disease begin with abnormal cells that grow out of your having erectile dysfunction. Therefore we rely most on government policy to make distinctions between energy tadalafil online cheap sources. With the help of its active constituent, generic sildenafil citrate it does need a special generico cialis on line care and attention.

directors

What is different about ATP Science?

ATP Science is not only on a different page than other health companies – we are in a different book!

Our moto is results not excuses – and we live by that rule for everything we do. We believe that in order to help people achieve whatever their health goals are we have to produce great products and back it up with great information in a way that people can understand and implement.

We believe we create “best in class” or unique products that no company in their right mind would create because to quote a venture capitalist we once spoke to “educating the market is business suicide”. Well – we did it. And yeah at first we were laughed at (and nearly went broke)…then we were ridiculed, then debated about and called “abstract” scientists and idiots and then finally (and this is when we knew we were making a dent in the market) other companies started copying us – and poorly mind you. You see we don’t use google keyword searches or marketing focus groups to create our products. We look at problems and then look at the means to solve that problem, without looking at what other people are doing. Doing this has led to 3 global patents in product category’s we believe are unique – a totally new class of product entirely – because we aren’t sheep – we don’t play follow the leader! We are a unicorn that makes its own path and helps people to get the results they deserve.

Some unique things we have done to create change in the supplement industry is educate people through our health podcast (The ATP Project) which is ranked consistently in the top ten in the world on iTunes.”

Maximise your Calorie Burn and get Slimmer Legs with Zaggora Leggings

I’ve been wearing my Zaggora leggings every time I workout since around September 2016.  To my mind that’s long enough to know if they work or not. The result? My legs have definitely become leaner since wearing them. I’ve also dropped a few lbs on the scale – you know, those stubborn ones that like to cling on!

For those of you not familiar with these leggings, it’s kind of like wearing a wetsuit.  As soon as they go on you begin to feel warm and it’s not long before your legs begin to sweat.  Try wearing them for a HIIT workout and you will be positively dripping!  Fortunately I do my workouts at home, so I’m not too concerned about my appearance and sweat issues.  If you’re wearing them to the gym, my advice would be to wear black – they won’t show up the sweat patches in all the wrong places!  Definitely worth giving these leggings a go to maximise your calorie burn!

Thieves oil is one of those blends I feel everyone should know about.  It has so many uses and is a good natural alternative to chemical based products.  Thieves oil dates back to the 15th Century (1413) when the whole Europe was engulfed by the Bubonic Plague or Black Death.  A small group of thieves seemed immune to the disease.  They would enter the homes of Black Plague victims and steal jewellery and money, with no fear of touching the infected bodies.  The Thieves came from a long lineage of apothecaries and had knowledge of how to use oils medicinally and prophylactically against disease.  The oil blend  they rubbed all over their bodies protected them from this deadly disease.

Tasty Paleo Blueberry, Courgette and Chia Seed Muffins & Recipe

by lifestylesister

Blueberry & Courgette Muffins

Who says muffins are bad for you?  The kind you buy at Costa with your coffee might be detrimental to a healthy diet, but these ones definitely won’t be!  You don’t have to sacrifice taste for healthy food as these muffins will prove, plus I’ve listed just some of the health benefits below.  So, throw away the junk and feast on these gorgeous refined sugar free, gluten free and dairy free muffins…

Courgettes:

  • They contain moderate amounts of folates (important for cell division and DNA synthesis.
  • Contain moderate levels of B-complex vitamins such as Thiamine, Pyroxidine, Riboflavin and minerals like Iron, Manganese, Phosphorius and Zinc.
  • A good source of dietary fibre – helping with food transit through the intestines and offering some protection against certain bowel cancers.

Erectile dysfunction can be very depressing for viagra prices a man. However, patients who have pre existing health cialis for cheap problems like cardiovascular diseases, myocardial infection, serious arrhythmia, hyper and hypo tension, HIV, Sickle cell disease etc should take the medicine before an hour of copulation. Medically speaking there are two types of erectile purchase generic viagra dysfunction; primary and secondary.
Blueberries:

  • High in phytonutrients functioning as anti-oxidents and anti-inflammatory compounds in the body.
  • Potential benefits for the nervous system and brain health.
  • Evidence they can improve memory with regular consumption.
  • Low on the glycemic index scale (GI), therefore having a favourable impact of blood sugar levels.

Chia Seeds:

  • High in protein
  • High in fibre
  • Contain Calcium, Manganese, Magnesium and Phosporus
  • Contain a decent amount of Zinc, Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Potassium, Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) and Vitamin B2
  • Contain Omega-3 fatty acids

Medjool Dates

  • Good source of insoluble and soluble fibre – which can significantly lower cholesterol naturally
  • Natural energy booster
  • Good for constipation relief
  • Packed full of vitamins, minerals and fibre

To keep these muffins gluten free I have used almond four and coconut flour.  If you can’t eat almonds they can be made by substituting with more coconut flour and tapioca flour.

I try to substitute sugar for Medjool dates in my recipes because, although they are sweet, the sweetness is natural and they do offer some health benefits, whereas sugar does not.
