food, page 4.

During a long weekend spent with friends, who made too much food. Apprently, some of it, not so good ... I ended up with a tummy bug.

And after a very eventful night, I woke up to ride this:

showRide 28/09/2009 in larger map

Bottom line, don't do it, I was exhausted during the ride and until we got to the 700m descent, I didn't really enjoy myself ...

Ended up doing 53Km with a 700m ascent/descent.

Lesson learned ...

There have been many debates amongst people as to which vegetables are better for you nutrition wise, depending upon whether they are frozen or not. Our food especially in the United Kingdom can be transported through out the land using mostly road transport.

There isn't anything wrong with this method of transportation the only real drawback is as far as nutrition is concerned. Is how long the food has been in storage in the warehouse?

And the amount of time it takes to deliver it, this really does put into question how fresh our food really is. Are we actually being led into a false sense of security? When we go to our local supermarket and we see the words fresh produce where the vegetables are.

And is it so bad to eat frozen vegetables? When vegetables are frozen it isn't usually long after they have been picked that they are packaged thus, preserving the essential vitamins and minerals.

The problem with the storage of either fruit or vegetables they may have been in the warehouse for months before being dispatched.

Scientists in Sheffield have now said that is time to put the rumours to bed about frozen foods not being so good for you. They highlighted the fact that green beans, which have been in storage for, more than seven days lose 77 percent of their vitamin C content, which is a lot.

For one reason or another at some stage in our lives, some of us do or do not whichever the case may, be end up being overweight or in extreme cases obese. There can be many reasons for this lots of people eat to much food for lots of different reasons, they may be bored, depressed etc and we can tend to seek comfort in food.

One of the reasons is we are programmed to eat food because it makes us feel good. This is why it is very easy to become a comfort food eater, but what other mechanisms could cause this, would having low self-esteem have the same effect? A study of 6,500 people found that 10-year-olds, who had emotional problems when they were younger, were far more likely to become obese or overweight as adults.

The researchers, who did the study, would not commit themselves to saying that being emotional alone was a contributing factor, but it was certainly something that may cause it, however they can play a role as well. As a lack of exercise eating the wrong foods and any other things added to the mix.

The children who took part in the study had their weight measured, and were asked how they were feeling as regards their emotions. They tracked their progress until they were 30 years old. The researcher’s said that those who felt less in control of their lives were far more likely to worry and, would be far more likely to end up gaining weight. Apparently, girls are more affected by these issues than boys.

Hello everyone!  I'm going to be discussing with you how to be sexy, more specifically what kinds of food to eat to feel and be more sexy. 

 
Dark chocolate. It not only sounds yummy but a scientific study has revealed that women who eat dark chocolate on a daily basis have more satisfying sex lives. This is no coincidence. It is believed that the combination of chemicals in chocolate, specifically dark chocolate, enhance feelings of relaxation and pleasure.

Celery. It contains androsterone which is a male hormone that can trigger female attraction.  For females, celery acts as a mood elevator.

Bananas. These fruits contain vitamin B and they are believed to help manufacture sex hormones like testosterone. So my advice is: Have a banana and get down to monkey business.

Honey. There is a reason it's called a honeymoon :-)
Honey, just like bananas, contain vitamin B which is used for  testosterone production and it also contains something called boron which helps your body metabolize.
