Women Can Get Great Benefits From Whey Protein

Are you concerned about taking care of your body before and after strenuous activities or workouts? Do you try to avoid supplements that contain additives and possible side effects? I am very particular about what I am putting into my body at all times. I hate the idea of eating or taking something that I am not sure about what it is suppose to do or what side effects may be caused.

If you are interested in better health and improved physical fitness you have surely heard that bodybuilders and other athletes are turning to a simple, natural supplement called whey protein. Whey is the only supplement I take besides my daily multivitamin that I feel safe taking. So lets cover a few questions or concerns many women have about taking protein.
WHY DO ATHLETES USE WHEY PROTEIN?
Protein levels are depleted through exercise. Muscles require amino acids to prevent deterioration, give endurance and build mass. Proteins supply these amino acids to the muscles which is why athletes use whey protein. If you want to gain muscle you have to make sure you have the building blocks for it. Women need protein the same ways that men do so do not be afraid of it.
WHAT IS WHEY PROTEIN?
Commercial whey protein comes from cow's milk. Whey is the by-product of making cheese and was usually thrown away as a waste product. Now researchers know that whey protein is high quality, natural protein that is rich with amino acids essential for good health and muscle building. It is naturally found in mother's milk and also used in baby formula. It is being considered for use as a fortifier of grain products because of its considerable health benefits and bland flavor.
Although protein is also found in other foods such as meat, soy and vegetables, whey protein is proven to have the highest absorption (digestion) levels in comparison to all others.
WHO SHOULD CONSIDER USING WHEY PROTEIN?
Whey protein has many health benefits including immune support, bone health, sports health, weight management and overall well being. And as women, we need all the help we can get to keep out bones strong and supportive. Plus overall health is not a bad thing either. The better nutrition you have in your life the less likely that the flu or other bugs will come knocking on your door.
Because amino acids are 'building blocks' for the human body it is sometimes used by patients to speed up the healing of wounds or burns.
The high quality protein that comes from whey makes it a recommended choice for those who need optimal benefits from restricted diets including diabetics, those on weight management diets and even ill patients not able to consume enough protein in their diet to assist with healing.
CAN WHEY PROTEIN BE DANGEROUS?
Whey protein is a food and so it does not have have the risks associated with other supplements. That said, too much of anything carries risks. Extremely high use of whey protein can overload the liver which can cause serious problems. Moderation is always recommended.
If you are lactose intolerant you might try whey protein isolate which has less than 1% lactose and should be tolerable for most users.
Whey protein is a natural and healthy way to bring protein into your diet and increase well being.
WILL WHEY BULK ME UP?
No, women lack the hormones that men have that allow them to get those large bulky muscles. Women will get an overall toned appearance without looking like the Hulk. Those women you see in body building competitions more often than not achieve their unusual frame by injecting additional hormones or supplements into their body. But no, with the use of whey you will not look like these women.
SOME TRICKS WITH WHEY
If you buy the powder you will be able to do a lot more than just simple shakes. But for shakes be create.
Mix the whey with milk and maybe add some strawberries or blueberries to make the best shakes around!
When you bake cookies scoop some whey in for a power cookie
If you drink coffee but some chocolate whey in to make a great mocha
The possibilities are endless, get your creative juices going!

Auschwitz Death Camp,

Auschwitz was the most notorious of the Nazi labor camps in WWII. There, a man or woman could expect at any moment to be sent to the gas chambers, used for medical experiments or given a phenol injection to the heart which would cause death in 15 seconds. If lucky, they would instead be used for exhaustive labor under the most grueling conditions.

A selection committee decided who was fit for labor and who would be used for medical experiments or exterminated. One 'doctor' drew an arbitrary height line of 5 feet 2 inches and any child who was not tall enough was sent to the gas chambers immediately.
Many were sent to the chambers directly upon arriving at Auschwitz. For that reason records do not exist for all of the people who were killed.
Their horrible suffering and the conditions they endured were beyond belief. People would tell each other lies just to give hope. "The allies have landed in Greece". The implication was that they would be rescued soon. There were many other stories concocted to keep one another from utter despair.
After Auschwitz was closed and the inmates released there was a reckoning. The Nazis were hunted down over the years and brought to account for their crimes one by one.
The time of Nazi Germany has ended. Yet, there exists forced labor camps in China today while Holocaust survivors still live. Have we learned nothing from history?
The labor camps in China, much like the Nazi death camps, are used to harm those whom the Chinese Communist Party does not like. They are also used to attempt to break the will and spirit of those who practice the peaceful meditation practice of Falun Gong.
From these camps the Chinese Communist Party derives a source of free labor. The goods are exported for profit and consumption around the world. Similar to the Nazi camps, these nightmarish dens of horror are a source of suffering, torture and death. Why are they tolerated? Isn't it time that they are dismantled and eliminated?
The famous poet Elie Wiesel, himself an Auschwitz survivor, had this to say, "I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
Simon Wiesenthal, another labor camp survivor who helped bring many Nazi criminals to justice said this. "For your benefit, learn from our tragedy. It is not a written law that the next victims must be Jews. It can also be other people. We saw it begin in Germany with Jews, but people from more than twenty other nations were also murdered. When I started this work, I said to myself, I will look for the murderers of all the victims, not only the Jewish victims. I will fight for justice."
The Chinese Communist Party is responsible for the use of forced labor camps that house many Chinese citizens today. To do nothing is to ignore the lessons of the past as well as the suffering of the present. Isn't it time to speak up?
Call a Chinese embassy or official and let them know what you think of their forced labor camps. Tell them to stop the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Do not remain silent.

3 Healthy Food Choices For Weight Loss

One of the biggest changes you can make when it comes to losing weight in a safe and sane way, is centered around the way you make personal choices. As a matter of fact, the issue of making changes in your life is almost completely about choice. Learning how to make healthy choices instead of keeping on with the options and choices that have led you to the overweight place you are right now. There is nothing wrong with the choices you have made up to this point, and in fact many people are quite comfortable with their level of health and weight. But if you are not happy with the way you feel or the way you look, and you wan t to change, then learning how to make different choices is a good first step. When we were growing up, the habits of the people around you, like your parents and your siblings, became your choices in life as well. No blame there, they were only doing the best they could with what they knew how to do. Sometimes, those were the only choices that were available at the time. It’s not like when you are a small child that you are going to tell your Mom that the food she is giving you is not healthy for you. You are pretty much just going to eat it. Of course, there are always some kids who throw tantrums at mealtimes, but for the most part, you learn to eat what you are given to eat. As a result of this choice on the part of somebody else, you learned that these choices were the correct ones. If those choices included lots of good healthy food, then you probably grew up with a healthy body weight. But if the food you were provided as a child was high fat, or high calorie or all carbohydrates, then you learned that those were the correct food choice to make. But now maybe those choices don’t serve you so much anymore. Time to try out a new set of food choices that can help you in your quest for losing weight. So here are some new options that you can try to help you release some of that extra weight. New Choice #1 Include some sources of protein with your meals that are NOT beef or pork. Beef and pork are not the horrible bogeymen that they have been made out to be by lots of dieting gurus. But they are usually higher in hard to digest fat than choices like chicken, fish, peanuts or cottage cheese. Your body goes through different steps to metabolize and release the nutrients in each of those foods. What happens is that the energy and nutrients like amino acids help your body perform well. So you want to eat sources of protein that burn cleanly in your body and have fewer calories. New Choice #2 At least once a week, try having a meatless lunch and dinner. These two meals don’t have to be on the same day, but they certainly can be. A lot of people have grown up with the idea that if it doesn’t have meat in it, it’s not a meal. And that is just not true. A meal does not have to include meat and in many parts of the world, meat is served at only one meal and sometimes no meals during the day. Sometimes as little as once a week. Now that doesn’t mean those people are healthier than you, but if you are looking for an easy kind of choice to make in your eating habits, this could be one to try. There is no reason why you can’t have a meal with whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes. Legumes are things like beans and split peas. Legumes have a fair amount of protein in them. And if you don’t have things like pork and beans, but instead make your meal of chili beans without meat or something like split pea soup with no ham, you will fell very full. You will get a good nutritious meal and you will have eaten way less calories of fat than you would if you had meat. These choices are actually pretty easy to make in your life, and if you really want to lose weight in a non-suffering way, try a couple of these changes and you will be quite pleasantly surprised with the results.

How To Choose An Adoption Attorney

No matter where you are in the adoption process, whether you have just started your Home Study or have already connected with a Birthparent, choosing an attorney to help you through the process is one of the most important choices you will have to make. I have worked in adoptions for over nine years and I want to stress to you that choosing an attorney that specializes in adoptions or has significant adoption experience is highly important. Although as an agency we do a lot of the legal work ourselves with our own attorney, we also conduct Home Studies for couples who are doing independent adoptions, meaning they are going through an attorney rather than an agency. Most of the mix-ups and botched adoptions we see are typically associated with attorneys that do not practice adoption law or who know very little about adoption law.

When choosing an attorney to use in an independent adoption, I always recommend choosing one that is a member of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys (also known as AAAA or Quad A Attorneys). Adoption law is typically state specific except for a few federal laws, so you want an adoption attorney that is well versed in the adoption laws of your state. Things get even more complicated if Birthparents live in one state and the adoptive family lives in another. This is called an interstate adoption. Not only are you dealing with the laws in each state, but you are also dealing with the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, a Federal law that regulates children being placed for adoption in a different state than where they were born. The adoption disruptions that we see played out in the media typically happen because something was not done legally the way it was supposed to be done. For this reason it is imperative that you use an attorney that knows the adoption laws for your state.
I teach monthly adoption seminars, which include a section on adoption law. During this session I always share the example of how both the lawyer and judge in a rural county in my state did not do things correctly, which ended in an adoption disruption. In this case the adoption was finalized in Juvenile Court, which cannot happen in my state as adoptions are finalized in Chancery or Fourth Circuit Court. But, even worse, the Birthmother never signed a Surrender to surrender her parental rights. You cannot finalize an adoption if one or both of the Birthparents still have parental rights to the child. Since her parental rights were still in place, when she went to the court five years later the adoption was overturned and her daughter was returned to her

 
The purpose of sharing this story is not to scare prospective adoptive parents. I share it to educate them and to reinforce the importance of using an attorney who just practices adoption law or one who has done adoptions in their practice for at least five years. By doing adoptions for five years I don't mean two or three adoptions over the past five years. I mean someone who does them on a regular basis. Even if you know a lawyer who is a good friend or one who is doing the adoption just to help you, if they do not know adoption law they could end up hurting the adoption in the end.
Even if there is not a AAAA Attorney in your area, you should contact the AAAA Attorney that practices closest to you. They might travel to you or they could recommend someone in your area that knows adoption law. For instance, the AAAA Attorney that my agency uses along with most other agencies and adoptive families in the area has a list of attorneys that she contacts for adoptions in counties that are about two hours or more from her. If she is not busy, she will travel, but because she has such a good reputation she usually stays busy and she often refers families who live further away to other attorneys. She also will tell you which attorney to not use if she knows an attorney who has repeatedly done adoptions not according to the law, which is important information for adoptive families to have.
If you are beginning to search for an attorney to help with your adoption, the first thing you should do is to see if there is a AAAA Attorney in your area. You should always check their credentials and talk to families who have used them. It is also good to talk with other adoptive parents to see which attorneys they used and to find out if they had positive or negative experiences. The way an attorney handles or mishandles an adoption can literally make or break it. This is not a chance that you want to take when it comes to your family. You need to choose an attorney that will follow adoption law correctly and one that will make sure that the needs of everyone involved in the adoption process are met.

Male Yeast Infections: Home Remedies

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax ester from the seeds of the jojoba plants. It's been used widely ever since the ban of whale oils in the US in 1941, being superior to whale oils in every way. It has a high stability since it does not oxidize easily and therefore can be stored away for long periods of time without any artificial preservative or refrigeration. This keeps it pure and free from any harmful chemicals that are added to most of the products you use today.

You may have noticed that this oil is present in a vast majority of health care or skin products today as a fundamental ingredient like shampoos, moisturizers, sun-screens and is also commonly used in the cosmetics industry.

> Why is it so widely used in these products? >

It has many benefits for the skin due to its properties. What properties does it have then?

It is antibacterial and antifungal. Cuts, sores, bruises can easily be treated with jojoba oil to prevent any infection. It encourages the growth of new cells and thus accelerates the healing process. More significant problems such as rashes and eczema can also be treated with it to calm and soothe the skin in addition to killing any potential germs which might inflame the situation. Any itchiness caused by the rash can be eased by application of jojoba oil as well.

It helps treat and combat wrinkles and fine lines on your face. It hydrates the skin so well that eventually, these wrinkles and lines will slowly fade out and have a reduced visibility. If you have any stretch marks on your face, jojoba oil can also help fade them away.

It moisturizes the skin extremely well, especially if you have rough skin. When applied on your skin, jojoba oil quickly penetrates deeply into the skin and pores and keeps it hydrated. It is not greasy and therefore does not cause a "shine" on your skin like other moisturizers do. Extra preservatives and chemicals present in moisturizers are absent in jojoba oil. This makes it an excellent choice for a natural moisturizer.

Jojoba oil treats acne very effectively. It gives the skin an impression that it is already hydrated enough and that no more sebum should be produced. As you know, sebum is the main cause of acne since it clogs pores and causes it to inflame. It is also non-comedogenic which means it is safe to use even if you are acne prone as it does not clog any pores, unlike sebum. This basically means that less sebum, less breakout. It also greatly helps with existing acne conditions by killing bacteria in the skin which causes inflammation.

For existing acne scars, jojoba oil can help fade them away because they encourage new cell growth. These new cells will rapidly replace the old ones and over time, the scars will fade away.

Many skin products like moisturizers and lotions contain pH which is inappropriate for the skin. Jojoba oil safely restores the skin's natural pH level. This makes it a safe and ideal for use on skin.

Jojoba oil is extremely safe for use for all types of skin because it is non toxic and comes directly from seeds of a plant and is hypoallergenic. This means that it doesn't irritate the skin even if your skin is very sensitive and can be safely used on areas around the eye. This makes it ideal for doing things like removing eye makeup or fading away dark circles.

It is excellent and very effective in reversing the signs of aging. Its rich antioxidant properties help combat the effects of free radicals and promote a younger look.

If you want an attractive look, jojoba oil gives you that healthy shine and gives the appearance of a soft and healthy skin. It does not cause greasiness since it is non greasy.

These are only some of the many jojoba oil benefits. There are thousands of good reviews posted on the web ever since its inception. jojoba oil guarantees a risk-free healthy and attractive skin with no risks from chemicals and preservatives. Give it a shot and let it amaze you (and your skin).

The Right Diet To Lose Weight is The One That Works For You

Since there are about 310 million people living in the US as of the 2010 census, that works out to about 103,000,000 people who are overweight in America. That is a truly enormous amount of people.
And every year approximately 65 million of those people start on some sort of diet program. These figures have stayed the same for at least a decade. Each year, 65 million overweight people start a diet to lose weight. The next year, there are still 65 million overweight people...who start another diet. Obviously, something isn't working.
What's happening is that all these people are choosing the wrong diets, over and over. When you choose the right diet to lose weight, the weight comes off and it stays off.
So, how do you avoid the wrong diet and pick the right diet to lose weight, once and for all? How do you know the diet you're following is the one that's going to get you off the weight loss/weight gain roller coaster? It's easy!
The right diet to lose weight is the one that works with your body's natural, genetic rhythms, and not against them, to produce natural and sustainable weight loss. It combines regular and vigorous exercise with caloric substitution, not caloric reduction. You can lose one pound of weight every week, week in and week out, simply by cutting 500 calories per day through diet and exercise. A half hour of exercise, 5 days a week, and reaching for a glass of water instead of a soft drink is often all it takes to produce sustained and sustainable weight loss.
Most diets simulate what our bodies interpret as famine. When the body senses these signals, it automatically takes steps to preserve what nutritional stores of fat already exist. It keeps the fat for later and lets go of water weight and muscle tissue.
What this means is that most dieters are not losing any body fat. All they are losing is stored water and muscle mass. As soon as the calories go back up, the body thinks the famine is over and starts restoring the status quo.
The end result? All the weight that was lost during the "famine" is regained. And you are right back where you started, if not even heavier. You are worth the few minutes it takes to search out and discover the dieting program that works for you. You deserve it.

The Best Diets For Weight Loss Are The Ones You Can Understand

When considering diets for weight loss, the purpose of any diet is to cause someone to lose weight. That goal seems simple enough. All the diet needs to do is substitute poor calorie choices for choices that are not only lower in calories, but healthier to boot. In addition, the diet should be flexible enough to allow the dieter to maintain their weight in the long term.
Let's face it, you can't go through your life subsisting on lemon juice and laxative tea.
The problem with a vast majority of diets, especially the fad diets, is that they fail to meet these two "gold standards" of dieting. Lower in calories and healthier food choices. Because of this, the people who use these fad diets for weight loss remain unsatisfied, undernourished and most importantly, overweight. Luckily enough, there is a solution.
The best diets for weight loss are those diets that meet and exceed the two standards talked about above. When deciding what diet is right for you, remember the best diets for weight loss all contain these standards. Here are a couple things to look for in a good diet program.
Dieting and Exercise Go Hand In Hand
An element of all quality diet programs is a schedule of regular exercise. You cannot keep off any weight you may lose while dieting without exercise. This is because exercise not only burns calories; it also raises your metabolic rate. A higher metabolic rate burns calories more efficiently and actually allows you to consume more calories without gaining weight. In other words, regular exercise maintains your weight and helps prevent you from gaining weight.
Focus On Gaining Health Instead Of Losing Weight
The best diets for weight loss are less focused on weight loss. Instead, they apply to the focus to healthy lifestyle changes that bring about weight loss as a side effect. That's big difference. Instead of obsessing over a number, think about how good you feel, how much energy you have and how good you look. The goal of a good diet is overall better health, not pounds per week.
Eat To Live And Live Well
The best diets for weight loss understand that portion control is a big key to losing weight. In the last 20 years, food portion sizes have grown astronomically. As the portion sizes have grown, so have our collective bellies. A good diet teaches how to make portion sizes sensible, as well as teaching how to only eat until satisfied. In this age of "super sized" everything, that's an important lesson to learn.
