Best wine to go with Parmesan shrimp over linguine with Italian dressing and garlic?
Posted by admin on Nov 12, 2009
I got this recipe from another users question and think it sounds pretty good, but I need to know what wine to serve with it. My date preferres a very "wet" (meaning sweet) wine. I am lost like last years Easter eggs on this one. so what wine will suit her and compliment the artichoke hearts and tomatoes and shrimp in the main course?
she didn’t reguest wine and I am partial to sweet Tea…leaning toward the Chianti
Hey, I know this recipe…LOL…Not much for wine…if she specifically asked for wine then try something white and if not, then make iced tea to hit that sweet spot…Since you have Italian dressing in the main course be sure to offer a creme dressing for the salad and add cheese and maybe bruchetta to the garlic bread. Top off with a cheesecake and you’re set. You can always have a nice Chianti after dinner…
How long does vitamin C last in the body?
Posted by admin on Nov 12, 2009
If I take 500 mg or 1,000 mg of vitamin C(ascorbic acid), how long will this last in the body? I realize it is water-soluble so it doesn’t last very long, but how long exactly before it gets used up or goes to the bladder? This question is about regular vitamin C pills and powders, not sustained release vitamin C tablets.
duno, our body requires daily doses of it, so maybe less than 24 hours???

Go to the library to borrow the book:
"What the doctors doesn’t know about nutrition medical and may be killing you." by Dr Ray Strand
There are many cases studies reported in the book.
Secondly, you need to know that the Nutritional Supplement Industry is regulated based on the Food Standard which is far less stringent that the prescription drugs.
As long it is safe and not poisoness, it can be sold. The regulation says nothing about its effectiveness and potency.
Most follows the GMP Food standard. To ensure quality and bioavailability (ie. get digested) it is important to meet the following criteria when choose the supplement to ensure high quality:
1) What GMP standard does the manufacturing adopt? Food or Pharmaceutical standard.
2) Does the company own its own research and manufacturing plant or does it buy from other and do the marketing only?
3) Does it meet the US Pharmacopoeia, BP Pharmacopoeia specification for quality, potency and disintegration.
4) It is included in the Singapore Master Index of Medical Specialities (MIMS) which is used by Doctor for over the counter non-drug prescription.
5) Does it meet Consumer Lab testing of quality?
By the way, to similify the job, you may go to the Singapore Library to borrow the book "Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements" by Lyle MacWilliam which compares and ranks over 1000 multivitamins in USA and Canada.
Several of the products listed are also available in Singapore eg, GNC, Centrum.
I managed to borrow it from the library and is currently reading it. It is informative and educational.
Hope this helps.

Are there any heart concerns in taking non-hormone supplements such as NO2 or Creatine for physical training?
Posted by admin on Nov 12, 2009
I’ve been working out for the past 4 years and decided to take creatine to aid in building size and strength.
I guess my main concern is the problems that is associated with taking steroids. It increases heart size (because it is a muscle), and have known to cause heart failure amongst other effects.
Now, I do know that Nitric Oxide (NO2) and creatine are not steroids. So my question is, will taking NO2 (such as NO-Xplode) or creatine enlarge the heart? Are there any other concerns I should be worried about? Please list your sources also. Thanks everyone!
I know that NO2 contains caffeine (1 scoop = 8oz drip coffee) and the suggested use calls for 2-3 scoops.
no it won’t cause heart failure. weight training in and of itself will cause modest degrees of cardiac hypertrophy but those compounds won’t exacerbate things
what are some remedies for heart burn?
Posted by admin on Nov 12, 2009
Eat a table spoon of dark brown sugar, dark brown works, I’ve tried it.
drink 4 oz. of water with 1 teaspoon of baking soda mixed in. do not use if pregnant.
If you suffer from indigestion or heartburn and it keeps you up at night then try eating a red apple after dinner and you should not have any trouble. I suffered every night from heartburn and I tried eating an apple every night after dinner and I no longer have any trouble. Apple works wonders.
acid reflux;;with each meal drink glass of water with tablespoon of raw apple cider viniger at every meal
Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility: How long does it take to get my monkey?
Posted by admin on Nov 12, 2009
I have been giving the monkey fruit or herbs every day and then I talk to him. Most of the time a heart will appear above his head, but only one. How long does it take before I can get him? Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?
You can adopt him once you have gotten it to 6 hearts. You can check your progress by holding down the C button on the nunchuk, scrolling down to relations, and then scrolling down to wild animals. It will then tell you how many hearts you have with your monkey.
The fastest way to get your monkey is by giving him gifts that he likes. Some of them are: Shining Corn, Shining Yam, Shining Strawberry, Shining Watermelon, Shining Apple, Banana, Chocolate Banana, Banana Milk, and Grilled Yam.
Good luck adopting your monkey!

Fight Bronchitis With Vitamins And Over The Counter Products
Posted by admin on Nov 12, 2009
Bronchitis is often an acute infection of the air passages starting in the nose and extending to the bronchioles. Occasionally the first symptom is hoarseness. It may be mistaken for a common cold, which has settled in the chest.
When the bronchial tubes become infected they become swollen and a thick fluid called mucus forms inside them. This makes it hard for the patient to breath and a cough develops along with a wheeze or whistling sound when you breathe.
It occurs more often among city dwellers that rural residents and about 4 times more often in men than women. Older adults, infants and people with chronic respiratory disorder or heart problem are at the greatest risk with bronchitis attacks.
There are three main types of bronchitis, acute, chronic and occupational.
Acute bronchitis develops after a sore throat or cold and can last for one or two weeks and is usually caused by viruses. Antibodies only work against bacteria and not viruses so your physician will not prescribe an antibiotic. The symptoms include a throbbing cough, runny nose, wheezing, sore throat, headaches, chills, slight fever, back pain, and muscle pain. Repeated acute bronchitis attacks can lead to chronic bronchitis.
If exposed to certain lung irritants, such as flax, hemp or cotton dust, chemical fumes then occupational bronchitis can develop. Occupational bronchitis usually clears up when you are no longer exposed to the irritants and the cough associated with occupational bronchitis is usually dry and nonproductive.
Unlike acute bronchitis, chronic bronchitis is an ongoing, serious disease that can last the rest of you life. Air pollution, dust, or toxic gasses in the environment or workplace can contribute to bronchitis. In some cases, chronic inflammation of the airways leads to asthma.
Chronic bronchitis develops when an individual has to much phlegm in the air passageway causing a prolific cough. If this cough lasts for several months then the individual will most likely be diagnosed with chronic bronchitis. The symptoms include all of the symptoms of acute bronchitis and shortness of breath due to exertion, repeated infections in the lungs and respiratory tract.
Chronic bronchitis can lead to heart failure, the skin turns bluish color because of not enough oxygen in the blood, and Edema. Edema is a condition where excessive fluid is stored in the human body. The feet and ankles are the most common sites.
People who have chronic bronchitis are more susceptible to airway and lung infections, like the bacterial infection called pneumonia. In some cases of chronic bronchitis the patients’ airways become permanently infected with bacteria.
Physicians will sometimes prescribe a bronchodilator or other medication typically used to treat asthma. These medication are used help to relax and open the bronchial tubes to make breathing easer. Nebulizers and inhalers can loosen the mucus lining the bronchiole tubes, thus allowing the patient to cough up the mucus allowing air to pass more freely through the airways.
Bronchitis sufferers should always be checked for tuberculosis just in case it is masking the symptoms of the more serious disease.
Vitamin C Beta Carotene Vitamin E
Pantothenic Acid Glucosamine Vitamin A
Antioxidants Allergy Aid
Vitamin C is nature’s protective nutrient, essential for defending the body against pollution and infection and enhances the bodies’ immune system.
Beta Carotene protects the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, throat and lungs. It also helps protect Vitamin C from oxidation, which enables it to perform at optimum efficiency.
Vitamin E protects the lung tissue from inhaled pollutants and aids in the functioning of the immune system.
Many find pantothenic Acid to be very helpful against bronchitis symptoms. It is another form of non toxic B vitamins.
Glucosamine is an anti-inflammatory and may give some relief from bronchitis symptoms.
A number of studies have suggested that taking antioxidants such a Vitamin A reduces the risk of bronchoconstriction . Vitamin A is stored in the liver and fat cells of the human body and can reach toxic levels. DO NOT take more than the recommended dosage of Vitamin A.
Allergy Aid supplies 9 beneficial Herb’s to help provide temporary relief of respiratory allergies. The natural action of these specific Herb’s help to open bronchial tubes and ease breathing.
Natural antioxidants are abundant in fruits and vegetables such as, apples, blueberries, broccoli, cherries, cranberries, grapes, spinach, and Spirulina a blue-green algae.
Always consult your doctor before using this information.

How Tea And Caffeine Can Help You Control Your Waistline
Posted by admin on Nov 12, 2009
Caffeine has often been shown to help speed up metabolism, giving it possibilities as a weight loss supplement. However, the problem with using caffeine as a weight loss supplement is that most of our bodies are accustomed to some caffeine intake, so it may require a significant amount to have any effect. And for some, such a large dosage of caffeine can have side effects.
Some supplement manufacturers attempted to get around this problem by combining caffeine with other supplements purported to enhance weight loss, such as ephedrine. With this particular combination, users did experience weight loss, but the side effects of ephedrine proved very dangerous, sometimes even causing death by heart failure.
So, ephedrine has since been banned in the United States.
However, there may still be hope for using caffeine in conjunction with other supplements to achieve weight loss. The most promising is green tea’s most potent anti-oxidant, EGCG.
Green tea alone has been shown to promote fat loss, speed up metabolism and even inhibit the absorption of dietary fat. However, it appears that when green tea is combined with additional caffeine, it may have even more impact on your ability to lose weight.
Green tea contains caffeine; however, its caffeine content is significantly lower than that of black tea, coffee and colas. So, most of green tea’s weight loss effect is contributed to its anti-oxidant level rather than its caffeine level.
Bearing that in mind, researchers decided to evaluate how green tea might affect weight loss and weight maintenance if it was combined with an additional dose of caffeine, similar to that in coffee or cola. In addition, researchers evaluated how the results differed between subjects who were already consuming large amounts of caffeine compared to those who consumed small amounts of caffeine.
The study evaluated 76 overweight and moderately obese people. The participants were placed on a low calorie diet for 4 weeks. Following the diet period, they were observed during a weight maintenance period of 12 weeks. The participants were divided into high caffeine consumers, low caffeine consumers and a control group.
During the weight maintenance period, participants were either given a supplement that contained green tea’s anti-oxidant EGCG plus caffeine, or a placebo.
During the study period, high caffeine consumers lost more weight than those who consumed smaller amounts of weight. During the weight maintenance period, the EGCG/caffeine supplement had a significantly greater effect on the people who were low caffeine consumers than on those who consumed larger amounts of caffeine. The low caffeine consumers who took the EGCG/caffeine supplement during weight maintenance continued to lose weight, lose body fat and show an increased metabolism. However, in the high caffeine consumers, the EGCG/caffeine supplement appeared to have no effect during the weight maintenance period.
So, what does this mean to your diet? Well, it certainly means that people who don’t habitually consume large amounts of caffeine could benefit, in terms of weight loss, from increasing their caffeine consumption.
In addition, when you combine this research with results from other studies on green tea’s effect on weight loss, it suggests that green tea may be the right way to increase your caffeine intake, particularly if you’re caffeine sensitive.
Green tea’s caffeine does not appear to raise the heart rate and blood pressure the way other caffeinated substances can, so it is better tolerated by those who are sensitive to caffeine.
In addition, it’s important to note that the EGCG/caffeine supplement used in this study did not supply an inordinate amount of caffeine. The caffeine supplement was just 150 mg of caffeine, roughly equivalent to the amount you would find in a cup of green tea.
Other studies have shown that green tea has the ability to increase weight loss more than its mere caffeine content would suggest. Some studies have compared the weight loss of those who consumed green tea to those who consumed the same amount of caffeine found in green tea through other beverages.
In these studies, the participants who consumed green tea lost more weight than those who consumed the same amount of caffeine from other beverages, suggesting that it’s not just the caffeine in green tea that makes it a good weight loss supplement.
Studies have shown that the EGCG in green tea can promote fat oxidation and inhibit the absorption of fat from the diet. This may be the reason that drinking green tea is more effective for weight loss than drinking other caffeinated beverages.
If you’re trying to lose weight, there’s still no substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise plan. Eating right and exercising will help you shed excess pounds and keep them off for good.
However, when you’re trying to lose weight, any help is appreciated – and it appears that increasing your caffeine consumption, particularly through drinking more green tea, may be just the jump start your metabolism needs.
