Cook Anywhere... All You Need Is A Tabletop


Hey guys, do you know that there's an easy way on how to cook a food? There is this very interesting design by Maurizio Maiorana for a fold up portable stop top mat. It uses silver as a conductor. The “Cooka” incorporates silver because of it’s excellent thermal properties which allow for effective heating of pots and pans while keeping the tabletop nice and cool.

The cool thing about the pad is that it’s essentially a multi-burner hot plate but with a stylish and portable design that’s really simple. Three round heating elements of various sizes incorporated in a roll-up LSR Liquid Silicon Rubber, which also has great thermal properties. And the silver plates are surrounded by tiny holes that constantly blow out a stream of hot air around the item being cooked, so that excess heat is not lost during cooking. Electricity comes a simple flat electrical plug. The pad is ideal because it can take temperatures ranging from -60 to 280 degrees centigrade. So, while the heating pads are boiling water and frying chicken, the LRS pad and the tabletop below it stay nice and cool. It’s also very easy to clean.

This kind of design not only is beneficial for say, campers – but also those who live in studio apartments strapped for space.

Our Dinner And My Lunch


Yesterday, since I've been in Fabriano I wasn't able to prepare our dinner. That's the reason why, my mother in-law decided to cut into thin slices the carrots that we have in the refrigerator. Of course, it's not my first time to eat fresh carrot (here in Italy) but every time we are eating carrots, I like it very much especially if I put salt, vinegar and olive oil. In fact, when I was in the Philippines I don't eat fresh vegetables. It's only in Italy that I learned to appreciate it since both my husband and mother in-law likes vegies so much.

Anyway, here are some facts about carrots:

Nutritional Benefits

Carrot is one of the most healing foods that provides the finest and highest quality in nutrients, especially from its juice. It is an excellent source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins C, D, E, K, B1 and B6.

It is rich with biotin, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, organic sodium and some trace minerals.

The known phytonutrients in carrots are lutein, lycopene, anti-oxidants alpha, beta and gamma carotenes, zeaxanthin and xanthophyll. You don't need to remember these fancy names, but just remember that phytonutrients are nature's marvelous provision for healing of various diseases.



Health Benefits

Carotenes, the famous ingredient in carrots, is an anti-oxidant that has powerful healing virtues for many diseases. Drinking a glass of carrot juice daily will do much more for you than many bottles of supplement tablets. Here are some disorders that can be helped by drinking carrot juice regularly:

Acidosis: The vital organic alkaline elements in carrots help balance the blood acidity and blood sugar.

Acne: Its powerful cleansing properties are effective in detoxifying the liver, thus overall effective for acne which are caused by toxicity of the blood.

Anemia: Carrot's molecules are closest to human's hemoglobin molecules, making it very beneficial in blood-building.

Atherosclerosis: The highly cleansing power of this miracle juice scrubs away even the old build-up of arterial deposits, reducing the risks of heart diseases and stroke.

Asthma: The anti-oxidants effectively protects the respiratory system from infections and free-radical attacks.

Cancer: Studies show that adding one carrot per day in our diet significantly reduces cancer risks.

Cholesterol: Pectin in carrots lowers the serum cholesterol levels.

Congestion: Carrot juice is very effective in dispelling mucus from the ear, nose and throat area, easing nasal congestion, sinusitis, phlegm and mucus in the throat and other similar disorders.

Constipation: Take five parts of carrot juice with one part of spinach juice regularly to regulate chronic constipation problems.

Emphysema: If you smoke or are exposed to second-hand smoke, taking carrot juice regularly may well save your life.

Eyes: Beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin are some of the finest nourishment that help keep the optic system in tip-top condition, with special protection against astigmatism, macular degeneration and cataracts.

Fertility: One of the reasons for infertility is lack of nutrients and enzymes in your dietary. Carrot juice taken regularly, is able to nourish your body back to fertility.

Inflammations: Its anti-inflammatory effect greatly helps reduce arthritis, rheumatism, gout and other inflammations.

Immune systems: It does wonders for boosting the immune system by increasing the production and performance of white blood cells; building resistant to various kinds of infections.

Nursing mothers: Carrot juice helps enhance the quality and quantity of a mother's breast milk.

Pregnancy: Drinking carrot juice regularly during pregnancy, especially during the last few months, will reduce the chances of jaundice in baby. No, you won't get an orange baby!

Skin problems: The high quality vitamin C and other rich nutrients in carrot juice efficiently nourish the skin, preventing dry skin, psoriasis and other skin blemishes.

Thread worms: One small cup of carrot juice in the morning taken daily for a week can help clear up thread worms in children.

Ulcers: The abundance of nutrient present in carrots help nourish cells that have been starved of nutrients which result in ulcers.

Water retention: Carrot juice is diuretic and helps to eliminate excess fluids from the body, reducing water retention, especially for women during their monthly menstruation cycle and in pregnant women.

Are You Having A Hair Loss Problem?

Since I arrived here in Italy, I started having a problem regarding my hair. Almost every day I am experiencing a hair loss. I don't know what's the reason why? That's the reason why, I searced on the web what are the possible causes of hair loss. And I found a lot of reasons why people are having a hair loss problem.

Such causes that are mentioned are poor nutrition (Having inadequate protein or iron in your diet or poor nourishment in other ways can cause you to experience hair loss. Fad diets, crash diets and certain illnesses, such as eating disorders, can cause poor nutrition.), medications (Certain drugs used to treat gout, arthritis, depression, heart problems and high blood pressure may cause hair loss in some people. Taking birth control pills also may result in hair loss for some women.) , disease (Diabetes and lupus can cause hair loss.), medical treatments (Undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy may cause you to develop alopecia.) , hormonal changes Hormonal changes and imbalances can cause temporary hair loss. This could be due to pregnancy, having a baby, discontinuing birth control pills, beginning menopause, or an overactive or under active thyroid gland. The hair loss may be delayed by three months following a hormonal change, and it'll take another three months for new hair to grow back.), hair treatments (Chemicals used for dying, tinting, bleaching, straightening or permanent waves can cause hair to become damaged and break off if they are overused or used incorrectly. Over styling and excessive brushing also can cause hair to fall out if the hair shaft becomes damaged.), scalp infection (Infections, such as ringworm, can invade the hair and skin of your scalp, leading to hair loss. Once infections are treated, hair generally grows back. Ringworm, a fungal infection, can usually be treated with a topical or oral anti fungall medication.), trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) (Trichotillomania is a type of mental illness in which people have an irresistible urge to pull out their hair, whether it's from their scalp, their eyebrows or other areas of their body.) and many more.

One day, I found this site about Provillus that is very easy to use in re-growing the hair. Provillus also treats hereditary hair loss. This formula contains Minoxidil which is the hairloss ingredient approved by the FDA to be use by both men and women. So, if you are having a problem of hair loss (like me), why not Get Back Your Lost Hair Now. Go and visit their site.
