5 ideas for Weight Loss by tricking your Taste Buds

How much of food and our enjoyment of it is the actual food or the thoughts we associate with it?

• Tests show that color of plates and cups  influences how tasty we think the food is.  Try it out  yourself at home.  The European researchers found that a chocolate drink in an orange cup tasted better than one from a white mug.  Do you get the same result?
• Have you ever noticed that if you haven't eaten a food for a while and then come back to it, it tastes really good.  I notice it especially when a new fruit or vegetable comes back into season.  Is it the anticipation that changes the flavor?
• Doesn't food taste better when you are hungry. 
• Does it taste better if you have plenty of time to savior it?
• Have you noticed you fill fuller if you eat the same amount of food on a smaller plate?

So 5 Ideas for Weight Loss by tricking your taste buds;

1. Eat your food off an orange plate
2. Make sure the plate is on the smallish side
3. Choose different foods, try new vegetables or a different herb or spice
4. Put aside enough time to eat slowly.
5. Wait until you are hungry to eat.

Bristol Stool Chart

The Bristol stool scale or Bristol stool chart is a medical aid designed to classify the form of human faeces into seven categories.

Why is this interesting?
The type of stool or faeces depends on the time it spends in the colon. After you pass faeces, what you see in the toilet bowl is basically the result of your diet, fluids, medications and lifestyle. This is why Naturopaths and Physicians talk about stools as it gives us an incite into your health status.  By the way Type 4 is what we are aiming at.

Not all Probiotics are Equal.

Probiotics are friendly bacteria that we need for good health and vitality. Probiotics beneficially affect humans by improving the balance of flora in the digestive system. The word probiotic actually means "for life": pro + bios = "for life".
Did you know that the human digestive system contains over 400 different species of micro-organisms? On average, an adult human carries about 3 to 4 kgs of bacterial gut flora. This represents an enormous number of bacteria. The reason we have so many bacteria inside us is because we require them for many beneficial actions within the body.
Why do we need probiotics?
In order for us to maintain a healthy digestive system we need to ensure that we have lots of "good" bacteria. These friendly bacteria have a number of important roles:

• Improving your digestion;
• Producing vitamins;
• Relieving symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS);    
• Detoxifying chemicals;
• Producing nutrients to repair the gut lining;
• Increasing resistance to infections and regulating the immune function;
• Preventing the overgrowth of bad bacteria.

Are all probiotics the same?
Taking a probiotic supplement every single day will promote good health and assist in the prevention of disease, however not all probiotic supplements are created equal. Different probiotics have different effects within the body – there are many probiotic products on the market, but they are not all the same. Why strain matters It is important to check the strain of the probiotic you are taking. Probiotics differ according to genus (e.g. Lactobacillus), species (e.g. acidophillus), and strain (e.g. NCFM). While all probiotics are considered safe and friendly in a broad sense, not all probiotics possess enough health benefits to be considered therapeutic. This is why it is important to use the right strain for the job you have in mind.

Do I really need a probiotic?
Very few people can truly say that their diet and lifestyle is perfect. This is just a fact of living in the world today. We can, however, still strive to get the most of life by having a healthy diet, exercising regularly and by considering the many benefits of probiotics. The number of 'good' bugs in your digestive system can be imbalanced by a wide range of factors including: 

• Excess alcohol intake;
• Consuming too much dietary fat;
• Eating a low fibre diet;
• Excess stress;
• Exposure to toxic substances;
• Eating too many processed and unhealthy foods;
• Gastro infections;
• Antibiotic use.

Bismuth What is the story?

 

I am constantly letting people know that Nude by Nature doesn’t contain Bismuth Oxychloride. Why? Because there is so much controversy over the safety of Bismuth.

Bismuth is used in many make-up products and provides “slip” (easy application and slide across the skin). It has a pearlescent glow and creates a glow. It is often is high concentrations in mineral makeups.

There is concern in the beauty world over the chemical process involved in making Bismuth and concerns over it's ability to cause redness, irritation, itchiness, small bumps or pustules, burning or swelling

My view is that if you can easily avoid it..why not?

Nude offers all of its airbrushed, flawless effects without the use of Bismuth!
