<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Do you know the difference between low-fat, low-calorie, lean and light? Do you wonder what ‘healthy’ on a label really means? Our investigation shows that many so-called light or healthy versions of major food brands are often very similar to the original. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">To make low fat foods taste better, manufacturers boost levels of other substances which have health issues, like sugar and salt, so the foods often end up being less good for you than the original versions. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Here, Alex Renton, with the help of Catherine Collins, the principal dietician at St Georges’ Hospital in London, takes us through the diet food minefield...</span></div><h2 style="font-size: 1em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Slimmer’s sandwiches </h2><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Ready-made sandwiches seem like a healthy lunch option, but they can hide scary amounts of fat, sugar and salt. Supermarkets now push healthy versions, but these may not be very different. Tesco’s Light Choices Ploughman’s is sold with the boast ‘30 per cent less fat than the Standard Ploughman’s’. But that should just warn you to avoid the standard sandwich.</div><div class="clear" style="border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; clear: both; float: none !important; font-size: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; line-height: 0 !important; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; width: auto;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The ‘light’ one does not meet government guidelines for low-fat and it still contains 4g of saturated fat - the most unhealthy kind - which is 20 per cent of the recommended amount an adult should eat in 24 hours. There’s also 1.6g of salt in the sandwich. </div><div class="clear" style="border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; clear: both; float: none !important; font-size: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; line-height: 0 !important; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; width: auto;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Catherine Collins says: ‘Sandwiches can be a minefield when it comes to healthy eating. This is 300kcal, where they can be up to 500kcal, but it has triple the saturated fat content of a standard tuna sandwich and almost a third of your daily guideline salt, easily boosted to almost half your salt intake if you add a bag of crisps to the meal.’</div><h2 style="font-size: 1em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Healthy crisps </h2><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Low-fat does have an official meaning: Less than 3g of fat per 100g. Many products call themselves low in calories, light or healthy, when they’re actually not low in fat at all. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The Boots Shapers range of crisps - directly pitched at the weight- conscious - boasts of being less than 100 calories and ‘free from hydrogenated fats’. But the crisps contain 22g of fat per 100g - which actually makes them ‘high in fat’ according to the Government’s regulations. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">‘Free from hydrogenated fats’ is a red herring: No reputable manufacturer still uses these dangerous fats. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Walkers Baked cheese and onion crisps look designed for dieters and say ‘70 per cent less fat’ in big letters. But they’re not officially low-fat and they have only a few fewer calories than normal Walkers cheese and onion crisps. This is because the baked crisps have more than three times as much sugar as the regular ones, to replace the taste lost by removing oils. </div><div class="clear" style="border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; clear: both; float: none !important; font-size: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; line-height: 0 !important; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; width: auto;"></div><div class="thinCenter" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 470px;"><img alt="The Boots Shapers range of crisps boasts of being less than 100 calories and ¿free from hydrogenated fats¿.

But the crisps contain 22g of fat per 100g - which actually makes them 'high in fat'</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Catherine Collins says: ‘Differences in pack sizes can really boost calorie intake - the Shapers are a good choice for dieters as a substitute for the higher calorie savoury snacks, but the Walkers Baked crisps don’t offer much advantage.’</div><h2 style="font-size: 1em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Light and lite spreads </h2><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">These words have no meaning in law, and manufacturers tend to use them to get a health premium from a product that may not be very different or much healthier than the original. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Hellmann’s Mayonnaise comes in three types - Real, Light and Lighter than Light. The two health brands do indeed deliver less fat, but it’s still a lot - just two spoons of the Light Mayonnaise has 8g of fat, more than ten per cent of a woman’s daily guideline amount. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">When you remove fats, you lose taste: manufacturers make up for that by increasing the sugar and salt levels. The ‘lighter than light’ Hellman’s Mayonnaise has 2.75g of salt in 100g - nearly twice as much as is in the classic Hellman’s.

Ocean Spray Cranberry Classic - which boasts of its healthy levels of atioxidants and Vitamin C - has even more: 29g of sugar in each glass.

Quaker Oats Granola promises on the front of the box ‘30-50 per cent less fat’ than other brands and a logo boasting ‘Nature’s Way to Lower Cholesterol’.

But more than a third of its weight is sugar - twice as much as in some ice creams and, at 35g in 100g, more than double the Government’s ‘high in sugar’ level. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">And less than 99 calories in 22g is not much of a boast - officially, ‘low in energy’ is a product with less than 40 calories per 100g. </div><div class="clear" style="border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; clear: both; float: none !important; font-size: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; line-height: 0 !important; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; width: auto;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Catherine Collins says: ‘Check labels for added sugars. Many of the cereal bars use skimmed milk powder to sweeten and add calcium - officially, milk sugar doesn’t “count” as part of our sugar allowance. Although scoring “red” on the FSA traffic light guide for sugar, this small bar’s weight means you get about one-and-a-half teaspoons of sugar per serving.

Only they don’t. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The major problem is that it is so obvious when someone has had work that extensive. In Los Angeles, every face might mysteriously be able to retain the lustre of that of a 25-year-old, but in the UK, we are just not used to seeing faces that are made to look expressionless and almost alien. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">When I look at images of women who have had work done, they look as if they are avatars of themselves — versions that have had all life and emotion sucked out of them and have, instead, been replaced with waxwork dummies. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">I would be loathe to hold a lighted flame near some of Hollywood’s leading women’s faces in case they melted.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">But the pursuit of youth is nothing new. Many years ago, when I went to interview Cher, I asked her why she had indulged in so much plastic surgery. She was draped on a sofa, in the half light, yet even then it was obvious her face was not her own. There was barely a line on it. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">She looked as though she had been mummified.

It’s not because of greed and it’s not a case of wanting to do too much. It’s fear of saying no.’ </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Even us mere mortals are not immune.

Los Angeles is a city that worships the young. To fit in, to be considered for jobs, to keep your man, to earn money, you need to look younger the older you get.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></h4></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">But the claims being made go far beyond that of a simple sunblock - manufacturers say their make-up improves the skin. U.S. brand Priori maintains that its latest offering, Coffeeberry Perfecting Minerals (£39, 0845 555 2121), is not only a foundation, but also 'provides enhanced skin moisturisation' and can 'firm, tighten and brighten skin and rid it of impurities'.</div><div class="thinFloatRHS" style="color: #d42699; float: right; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 235px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 1.6em;">The rise of mineral make-up can, in part, be credited with kick-starting the trend for make-up that does more</span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">It even claims 'your skin will appear younger each time' you use the product. They put this down to coffeeberry extract, a potent antioxidant found in the company's existing skin care range. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">In fact, the brand's founder, Joe Lewis, says these products are so good, he doesn't like to refer to them as cosmetics. 'this is not make-up, this is mineral skin care that doubles as make-up,' he insists. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">It's a bullish claim, but he's got the research to back it up. the company recently ran a clinical trial on its products where 21 women between the ages of 25 and 55 used the Coffeeberry concealer, foundation and finishing powder at least once a day. All either had sun-damaged skin or suffered from rosacea. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The results after the seven-week trial were pretty impressive. they showed a 20 per cent decrease in brown pigmentation ( hyperpigmentation), a 23 per cent decrease in red pigmentation (rosacea), a 30 per cent decrease in fine lines/wrinkles, and a 39 per cent decrease in dryness of their skin. </div><div class="clear" style="border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; clear: both; float: none !important; font-size: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; line-height: 0 !important; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; width: auto;"></div><div class="thinCenter" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 470px;"><img alt="U.S. brand Priori's latest anti-aging offering, Coffeeberry Perfecting Minerals " class="blkBorder" height="300" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/10/10/article-1319413-0B7CB2AA000005DC-795_468x300.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-color: black; border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: black; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-style: initial; border-top-color: black; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="468" /><div class="imageCaption" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">U.S. brand Priori's latest anti-aging offering, Coffeeberry Perfecting Minerals</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">And Priori isn't the only one at it. Earlier this year, Clinique launched Anti-Blemish solutions Liquid Make-up (£20, clinique. co.uk). Scott Miselnicky, vice-president of product development at the company, explains: 'the first line of defence against blemishes is skin care, hence our extensive Anti-Blemish line of products. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">But it also makes sense to incorporate everything we know about treatment into our make-up products, which is why we created a foundation that helps to treat blemishes.' </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The foundation, available in eight shades, not only conceals blemishes and neutralises red tones but, alongside other anti-spot agents, also contains 0.5 per cent salicylic acid, a treatment for acne, and a sea algae extract which stops skin becoming oily. </div><div class="thinFloatRHS" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 235px;"><div style="color: #d42699; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 1.6em;">The average woman will spend more than £8,500 on cosmetics over six decades</span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">However, U.S. beauty expert Paula Begoun says the active ingredients are at too low a concentration to make a difference.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">While she agrees that the Clinique foundation is a good base for those with oily or breakout-prone skin, she also insists that it takes more than a token amount of an ingredient to create make-up that doubles as skin care.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">'The amount of salicylic acid in the foundation is too low to be of much help,' she says. 'So you'll need to resort to other products to manage acne.' But while such products have their detractors, there are an increasing number on the market. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Garnier's hugely successful Eye Roll-On product (£9.99, boots.com) has been reformulated in two tinted shades for use as a concealer; L'Oreal's latest lipstick, Color Riche Boosting Serum (£8.69, boots.com), claims to hydrate and plump lips with collagen and hyaluronic acid; and, in the U.S., you can buy a Bobbi Brown concealer that also helps even out skin tone and a Peter Thomas Roth pressed powder that claims to have a Botox-like effect. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">But dermatologists warn against ditching your skin care make-up. 'You need to consider make-up like this as a part of your beauty regime, rather than as an alternative to skin care,' says dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">'If you've got a condition, you're going to see quicker results from the sort of skin care a dermatologist can prescribe. </div><span><br />

</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><div>This is a double chocolate ice cream guaranteed to get your endorphins flowing. It's made from</div><div>both Dutch process cocoa and Baker's chocolate liqueur. Prepare the mix as for the Old Time</div><div>Vanilla (<a href="http://grandmasicecream.blogspot.com/2010/06/old-time-vanilla-ice-cream-recipe.html" style="color: #1d75cf; text-decoration: none;">see recipe</a>) ice cream, but instead of the brown sugar, use ½ cup of white granulated</div><div>sugar. Set the mix nearby after it is prepared.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Then in a double boiler with the water hot but not boiling, melt 2 ounces of good quality baker’s unsweetened chocolate. When completely melted, add 1 tablespoon of Dutch chocolate cocoa powder.</div><div><br />
</div><div>This chocolate sauce will thicken immediately, so quickly add some of the base mix, 1/4 cup at a time stirring constantly. The chocolate sauce will now thicken into a massive thick ball of chocolate.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Keep adding base mix up to a cup and keep stirring until you have a smooth thick chocolate sauce.</div><div><br />

Not all the chocolate will dissolve; you’ll still have thousands of very tiny chocolate bits in the mix, which is as it should be, but you'll prbably need to strain out a number of the larger chunks, perhaps several tablespoonfuls, but that's ok, that's how you know you have a supersaturated suspension of chocolate!</div><div><br />

</div><div><b>How to make Fresh Fruit Ice Cream:</b></div><div><br />
</div><div>Prepare sliced peaches or strawberries and sprinkle with sugar and allow to set until the make</div><div>juice. Use enough fruit to make about 1 qt. of fruit puree. Put fruit and juice into blender and</div><div>coarsely puree. You should have about 1 blender full or about 1 qt.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Add fruit puree to the custard mixture which has been cooled or chilled overnight in the refrigerator. (I always make the custard the day before and put in refrigerator.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I prepare the fruit and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator as well.) This recipe assumes you have a 1 gallon freezer.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The freezer can should never be filled more that 3/4 full because the ice cream expands as it freezes and it will overflow if the can is too full.</div><div><br />
</div><div>You can also make raspberry ice cream but don't use as many raspberries (probably 2 cups of puree is enough) as they have a much more intense flavor.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Actually you can add just about any fruit you would like to try but these are all the ones I have tried.</div><div><br />

That way it's always ready to go.</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>2.</strong> The "batter" for your ice cream can never be too cold. I pour mine into an old quart-sized yogurt container and chill it in the fridge overnight.</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>3.</strong> Don't overfill your ice cream maker! Three-quarters full yields the best results. It might look a little empty, but trust me, if you fill the bowl up to the top, the ice cream won't aerate properly.</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>4.</strong> No matter what the recipe's instructions say, when tempering egg yolks for custard-based ice creams, never pour more than 3 or 4 tablespoons of hot cream into the yolks before whisking them back into the cream. And go very slowly. Nothing is worse then creating an accidental scramble.</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>5.</strong> As with drinking, when using alcohol as an ingredient in ice cream moderation is key. In my experience, anything more than 1/4 cup (in a recipe that yields 1 quart) interferes with the ice cream's ability to freeze.</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>6.</strong> Add extracts (vanilla, maple, almond, etc.) after the ice cream batter has cooled, but before churning, for the best flavor.</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>7.</strong> Add mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, and candy pieces, for only the last minute of churning. The ice cream should already be done. You just want to distribute the mix-ins evenly.</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>8.</strong> Shallow, flat containers are best for freezing and storing ice cream. While in America ice cream is usually sold in tall round containers, in Italy gelato is kept in low, rectangular ones, which promotes an even consistency.</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>9.</strong> To prevent ice crystals from forming, cover the surface with a layer of plastic wrap or wax paper before closing the container.</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>10.</strong> Homemade ice creams keep well for up to a week. After that, they begin to lose their flavor and creamy texture. Eat quickly—you can always make more!</span></div>Asma Rehanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06461052440017818831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811525365802523931.post-85448012208307513552010-10-13T15:41:00.001+05:002010-10-13T15:41:45.850+05:00Regular Aerobic Exercise Keeps brain Healthy<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"></span><br />

The finding is available in the journal Neuroscience. While there is ample evidence of the beneficial effects of exercise on cognition in other animal models, such as the rat, it has been unclear whether the same holds true for people, said senior author Judy L. Cameron, Ph.D., a psychiatry professor at Pitt School of Medicine and a senior scientist at the Oregon National Primate Research Center at Oregon Health and Science University. Testing the hypothesis in monkeys can provide information that is more comparable to human physiology. "We found that monkeys who exercised regularly at an intensity that would improve fitness in middle-aged people learned to do tests of cognitive function faster and had greater blood volume in the brain's motor cortex than their sedentary counterparts," Dr. Cameron said. "This suggests people who exercise are getting similar benefits." To reach the conclusion, researchers trained adult female cynomolgus monkeys to run on a human-sized treadmill at 80 percent of their individual maximal aerobic capacity for one hour each day, five days per week, for five months. Another group of monkeys remained sedentary, meaning they sat on the immobile treadmill, for a comparable time. Half of the runners went through a three-month sedentary period after the exercise period. In all groups, half of the monkeys were middle aged (10 to 12 years old) and the others were more mature (15 to 17 years old). Initially, the middle-aged monkeys were in better shape than their older counterparts, but with exercise, all the runners became more fit. During the fifth week of exercise training, standardized cognitive testing was initiated and then performed five days per week until week 24. In a preliminary task, the monkeys learned that by lifting a cover off a small well in the testing tray, they could have the food reward that lay within it. In a spatial delay task, a researcher placed a food reward in one of two wells and covered both wells in full view of the monkey. A screen was lowered to block the animal''s view for a second, and then raised again. If the monkey displaced the correct cover, she got the treat. After reliably succeeding at this task, monkeys that correctly moved the designated one of two different objects placed over side-by-side wells got the food reward that lay within it.</span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">"Monkeys that exercised learned to remove the well covers twice as quickly as control animals," Dr. Cameron said. "Also, they were more engaged in the tasks and made more attempts to get the rewards, but they also made more mistakes." She noted that later in the testing period, learning rate and performance was similar among the groups, which could mean that practice at the task will eventually overshadow the impact of exercise on cognitive function. When the researchers examined tissue samples from the brain's motor cortex, they found that mature monkeys that ran had greater vascular volume than middle-aged runners or sedentary animals. But those blood flow changes reversed in monkeys that were sedentary after exercising for five months. "These findings indicate that aerobic exercise at the recommended levels can have meaningful, beneficial effects on the brain," Dr. Cameron said. "It supports the notion that working out is good for people in many, many ways."</span></div>Asma Rehanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06461052440017818831noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811525365802523931.post-32833182382419648262010-10-13T15:38:00.001+05:002010-10-13T15:39:01.277+05:00Food To Improve Memory<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"></span><br />

Certain foods help people to improve their memory in several ways. Consuming foods that improve memory is preferable, because unlike the drugs, the foods do not have side effects.<br />
There are many beverages and foods that improve memory.</span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">They help people to avoid concentration problems by enhancing the brain functions. However, people must keep away from some beverages, such as coffee and certain victuals that cause stress and discomfort. Coffee is a stimulant that increases the alertness, but its effect only lasts for a short period of time. Drinking coffee in high amounts determines the blood pressure and the heart rate to increase significantly. These effects are undesired, in most of the cases.</span></div><span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />
A type of foods that improve memory is represented by the ones that are rich in sugar. Glucose, which is a variety of sugar, is required by the brain in order to function properly. Foods that contain sugar seem to be effective especially in the older persons. In conclusion, glucose can enhance not only the memory, but also other mental processes, such as thinking and learning. This substance will help the brain to function properly as long as the glucose level is kept within normal limits. When it is in excess, it may harm the memory. However, the way these foods act on people is conditioned by many factors, such as the stress level and the different types of metabolism. <a href="http://www.mybesthelsinki.com/FinnishWords/Kale.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #000099; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.mybesthelsinki.com/FinnishWords/Kale.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; height: 246px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 680px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 402px;" /></a><br />
Carbohydrates are also turned into glucose, through metabolism. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables are considered foods that improve memory because they contain high amounts of carbohydrates. These are also rich in vitamins C, B, A and E and in minerals such as magnesium. All these nutrients improve the way the brain works. In addition, the foods that improve memory also boost the energy.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This fact leads to a diminution of depression, which is the main cause of memory loss in our times. Blueberries, watermelon, kale, cantaloupe, potatoes, tomatoes and red cabbage are some of the best foods that improve memory.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />
As more than half of the brain's solid matter is made of fats, increasing the amount of certain fats in the diet may lead to an improved memory. Omega-3 fats, which are found in fish such as sardines, enhance the membranes of the cells that compose the brain. DHA is the variety of Omega-3 fats that seems to be the most effective.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

If you choose the former, you can consult your physician and go for a surgery or start taking prescription medications to increase your height. If you choose the latter, there are quite a few ways to increase height naturally.</span><br />

Hanging, in particular, is considered a very good exercise for people who are short as it stretches their spine and makes them taller by a few inches at least. You can also swim regularly to increase your height. Playing basketball is another great way to increase height. You can also try games of beach volleyball to help you add a few inches to your frame.</span><br />

Short sprint bursts tend to release growth hormones in your body. The faster you run, the more hormones will be released in your body. So, if you are looking for one of the best ways to increase height, you should try your hand at running.</span><br />

If you have a very slow metabolic rate, your blood circulation remains poor and your body does not get enough energy to grow at a normal rate. So, you need to eat properly, exercise regularly, and take proper health supplements to improve your metabolism. Increasing the intensity of your workout is another way to improve the metabolism. The more intense your exercise routine is, the better are your chances of growing taller fast.</span><br />
