High Blood Pressure Diet - Diet for Hypertension Free Life!

By: M. Usman,John Davidson

Table of Contents Prelude Getting Started Chapter 1: Overview Chapter 2: Symptoms Chapter 3: Effects of High Blood Pressure Chapter 4: Causes of High Blood Pressure DASH Diet Recipes Chapter 1: Chicken Charred Tomato & Broccoli Sala Chapter 2: Tomato & Olive Stuffed Portobello Caps Chapter 3: Lasagna Rolls Chapter 4: Red Curry Chapter 5: Chicken & Vegetable Curry Conclusion References Author Bio Publisher Prelude In the United States alone, about 1 in 3 adults suffer from high blood pressure, every year. The condition usually comes without any signs or warnings and a person can be prone to it for years without even knowing about its presence. But, its apparent invisibility does not mean that it sits quietly within one’s body; while a person is unaware of it, it wreaks havoc within one’s body and damages multiple organs. Blood pressure, as will be explained in great detail later,is the force that the blood applies on the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood in the body. The pressure by which the blood flows can rise or fall, but if it remains high for a long period of time it can start damaging the body. The condition is loosely known as High Blood Pressure. Knowing your blood pressure numbers is vital, as well as, necessary even if you feel nothing’s going wrong. If your blood pressure is normal, no need to worry, but if it is reaching an abnormal level, you may require treatment.

Health Benefits of Quinoa For Cooking and Healing

By: M. Usman,John Davidson

Health Benefits of Quinoa For Cooking and Healing Table of Contents The Gold of the Incas Getting Started Health Benefits Recipes Conclusion References The Gold of the Incas It was well over 5000 years ago when, high in the Andes Mountains, the Incas discovered and subsequently started to cultivate the warrior grainnow known as Quinoa. Quinoa was extensively used in Incan culture and was known as the warrior grain by the indigenous people due to its stamina and power boosting properties. The performance enhancing secrets of Quinoa were buried by the Spanish conquistadors when they arrived in South America and destroyed fields of quinoa in order to annihilate the Incans, but quinoa survived and continued to grow in the wild mountains of the Andes. It wasn’t until the 1980s, that two Americans stumbled over this ancient, super-nutritious food and began its cultivation in Colorado. Soon its popularity erupted and now quinoa is the subject of many food researchers along with natural medical practitioners. Its rejuvenating properties have been acknowledged by many and now are being used as much as possible. Apart from being refreshing, quinoa has shown the potential of being the curer of high-magnitude diseases like cancers, infections and neurological disorders. Just keep on reading and uncover this mystery food and its amazing benefits.

You have to be prepared for everything before any disastrous event takes place, because that is the only key to fighting off any mishaps that may occur. We not only give you the basic instructions, but will also supply you with the most important supply off all, the list of all the relevant objects you need. Now, a lot of these things are generally found in any common household, but we provide you with all other extra things that need to be there as well. We will follow it up with the advice of storing all important documents and what kind of documents are the important ones. Disaster tools are followed by another key section, which is hygiene. When the grid goes down the usual setup of your life alters for a great amount of time, and the mechanisms that we normally rely upon are in disarray. Hence, we give you a list of essentials to make sure that your hygiene remains in good condition, because that will directly impact your health. Furthermore, that will potentially create problems for you in an already tough situation. In this section, we cover the basics all the way to creating a makeshift toilet. The next section brings us to the issue of food. Here we give you all the do’s and don’ts regarding food supplies. We tell you what foods you have to rely upon and those that you should avoid and keep at bay. Water, although more key in importance, comes after food in our book and after explaining its relevance, we will tell you all the different ways in which you can purify unclean sources for use. We follow it up with general advice with what steps to take during and after the blackout and sum it all up in a conclusion for you.

Warm Up - The Key to Injury Free Exercise

By: M. Usman,John Davidson

Table of Contents Preface Getting Started Chapter # 1: Benefits of Warming Up Chapter # 2: Stretching Chapter # 3: Types of Stretches How to Warm Up Chapter # 1: Intro Chapter # 2: Mobility Exercises Chapter # 3: Pulse Raising, Targeted Mobility and Final Pulse Raising Chapter # 4: Cooling Down Chapter # 5: Upper Body Stretches Chapter # 6: Lower Body Stretches Targeted Warm ups Chapter # 1: Low Impact Exercises Chapter # 2: Basic Aerobic Exercises Chapter # 3: Cardio-Kickboxing Exercises Conclusion References Author Bio Publisher Preface Performing warm ups before any high intensity physical activity, sports, or exercises, is important in a multitude of ways. A good, fulfilling session of warm up exercises will make sure that the body does not go into the energy-demanding phase of an exercise or workout too swiftly. There will be a gradual increase in your heart rate,which will steadily increase the flow of blood in your muscles, and other parts of the body, preparing you both physically and mentally for an injury free exercise. The importance of a workout can be compared simply to the analogy of a car being driven in cold weather; what people tend to do is, allow their cars to warm up before picking up high speeds. The same principle, in a slightly modified sense, applies to a workout. For a strenuous and demanding workout, its best to physically prepare yourself, by steadily increasing the body’s temperature with patience. By giving your body a nice warm up with many of the techniques like jogging, walking, etc., you are in fact improving blood circulation within different joints, muscles, and tendons, much like oiling a squeaky wheel. With the increased blood flow, the heart rate also rises and the muscles warm up to prevent any injury from taking place. Moreover, warm up exercises also have a psychological affect and they prepare your brain by easing it into the physical activities that are soon to follow. This is extremely helpful in exercises like weight lifting, high intensity running, and aerobics. The body and mind thus synchronize and ease into the workout making sure that no part of the body faces any injury as a result of the exercises that are soon to follow. Keep reading on and find out the details of a warm up.

The interesting thing is that all these benefits come with no side effects, which are quite frequent with the advertised pills and supplements. In our daily life we give value to things that are ready to eat or things that we can eat on the go. No wonder diseases like heart attack, high blood pressure, arthritis and obesity are so common in western lifestyle. Yes, I called obesity a disease.

Diet for Tinnitus

By: M. Usman,John Davidson

Table of Contents Preface Tinnitus Chapter # 1: Hearing Chapter # 2: The Ear Chapter # 3: Enter Tinnitus Chapter # 4: Causes of Tinnitus A Healthy Diet Chapter # 1: Fruits & Vegetables Chapter # 2: Grains, Legumes, Herbs& Fats Chapter # 3: Dairy, Meats& Seafood Chapter # 4: Others Recipes Chapter # 1: Carrot & Lentil Soup Chapter # 2: Coriander & Lamb Curry Chapter # 3: Pasta alongside Lentil Sauce Chapter # 4: Moroccan Chickpea Soup Chapter # 5: South-Western Salad Conclusion References Author Bio Publisher Preface Out of the five basic senses, one is hearing, without which undoubtedly we won’t be living life to the fullest. The ears are incredible organs that allow a person to hear sounds; many times the organs are compared to radio dishes responsible for catching radio-waves and just like a radio-set, they too can sometimes become damaged. One of the problems that can develop in the ears is tinnitus. Simply put, it is a condition in which the ear starts to listen to ringing, buzzing, and other meaningless noises. It is not dangerous nor a life-threatening condition, but with the passage of time the person will not get used to it but rather get annoyed by it. Moreover, untreated cases can cause damage to cognitive ability and increase restlessness in a person, turning his/her life into misery. Tinnitus can be improved through treatment, both artificially and naturally. This book deals with the natural treatment of tinnitus, through proper diet, to be exact. Furthermore, you will get to know about the mechanism behind hearing, the types of tinnitus, how it gets diagnosed, and much more. Stay tuned and keep reading.

Gluten Free Diet - The Secret to a Healthy Gut

By: M. Usman,John Davidson

Table of Contents Prelude Celiac Disease Chapter # 1: Overview Chapter # 2: Symptoms Chapter # 3: Diagnostics Gluten-Free Diet Chapter # 1: Intro Chapter # 2: Going Gluten-Free Chapter # 3: What to Eat? Main Dishes Chapter # 1: Baked Omelet Pie Chapter # 2: Barbecued Beef Chapter # 3: Stuffed Peppers Chapter # 4: Lamb Chops Chapter # 5: Mexican Style Meat Desserts Chapter # 1: Zucchini Bread Chapter # 2: Flourless Chocolate Cake Chapter # 3: Peanut Butter Cookies Conclusion References Author Bio Publisher Prelude The Celiac disease is a disorder that is not unheard of. People who suffer from this disorder are prone to stomach damage if they consume foods containing gluten. A gluten-free diet specifically targets these people and is thus a diet that excludes foods containing gluten. When consumed, gluten causes inflammation in the small intestine that leads to other signs and symptoms. In order to prevent and bring these signs under check, gluten must be avoided. Any person, unless of course an experienced medical practitioner, cannot build his/her own diet out of scratch, even though the diet’s name is pretty much self-explanatory. This is where this book comes in; it relieves you of any doubt about the causes of the problems the diet deals with, to its recipes, so you would have complete knowledge when you shift to the non-gluten regimen. Moreover, the diet is also applicable to people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity which will be explained later. Note that people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity may or may not benefit from a gluten-free diet, but for sufferers of celiac disease, a gluten-free meal plan is a necessity rather than a suggestion. Switching to the diet can itself be a big step as it will pretty much involve you to substitute each gluten component of your diet with something new. But with courage, faith, and guidance in the right direction, it is not that difficult to accomplish this goal. Read on and find out more!

Truth be told, not everyone you will meet, will appreciate the value of mushrooms the way you do. Also, this isn't just because of ignorance; the truth is that most people do not know or have not yet heard of the countless benefits of mushrooms‐ For example; do you know that there are certain species of mushrooms that can produce dyes? Being a fungus, not all mushrooms are edible; furthermore, the different species of mushrooms that are edible also produce different effects in the human body after consumption. Nowadays mushrooms are utilized extensively by chefs all over the world when preparing cuisines or dishes. Mushrooms are also becoming a commodity of interest in most groceries as well as supermarkets and farmer's markets. Poisonous and toxic varieties of mushrooms have been discussed in order to educate the reader on the dangers that they pose if eaten. Moreover, those with psychoactive properties have also been discussed. In view of the last statement, please note that some jurisdictions do not allow the cultivation of certain mushroom species, so if you are interested in growing a particular species, make sure that you verify with the local administration. Lastly, this mushroom farming guide has been written to enlighten both the readers who just seek for information as well as those who actually want to practice mushroom farming. It has been written in a casual yet decent manner in order to keep the reader entertained as well as informed. Enjoy!

Training for Endurance

By: M. Usman,John Davidson

Table of Contents Getting Started Chapter # 1: What is Endurance? Chapter # 2: Requirements Chapter # 3: Maximal Oxygen Uptake Chapter # 4: Economy of Motion Lactate Threshold Training Chapter # 1: Introduction Chapter # 2: Practical Approach Chapter # 3: To Sum it Up Nutrition Fat: Carbohydrates: Proteins: Conclusion References Author Bio Publisher What is Endurance? Endurance is personal to everyone; it’s what we use to bring out our top athletic potential. Still, there are multitudes of versions to the definition of endurance. Some define it as running a 10K race while some define it as riding a bike for a century. Individuals strive to show their level of endurance by competing in worldwide events like racing in the Olympics, riding a bike in the Tour de France, or going 8 hours in the lava bath in Hawaii. They do all this to show their superb mental and physical control. Endurance provides us with the physical, mental, and chemical tools required to enable the body to maintain a constant speed over long distances. It is an expression of the aerobic system of the body. This book will base its knowledge upon the fact that aerobic muscle fibers burn fat for energy, which powers all the nerves and blood vessels associated with the particular muscle to come into action. Thus, training the aerobic system can, in effect, increase a person’s endurance allowing him/her to cover 5 miles in 40 minutes, when previously it took 45 minutes, at an average heart rate of 150. This particular feature of endurance is known as aerobic speed. While endurance increases our potential output, it does so without harming the body. It is one’s ability to improve his/her athleticism without sacrificing his health at the same time. If you look closely, you will notice that consciously or not, you spend most of your life increasing your endurance and longevity at something; whether it’s sports, puzzles, or everyday chores. This book will focus on improving your physical performance by training for endurance.

Water Purification For Survival - A Guide for Purification and Conservation of Water

By: M. Usman,John Davidson,Mendon Cottage Books

Table of Contents Preface Introduction Chapter 1 - Collecting water Discerning Filtration and Purification Chapter 2 - Filteration Techniques Building a water filter Chapter 3 - Purification techniques Boiling Filtration or purification pumps Purification drops and tablets Make an evaporation trap in the ground. Turning urine and salt water into drinkable water. Solar still Chapter 4 - Choose Your Snow Wisely How to melt snow the right way Does the water from snow need to be purified? Chapter 5 - Different Approaches to Hydration Chapter 6 - Minimising Water Loss Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Nothing, I repeat nothing, is more important than water for humans to live on this planet (well excluding oxygen though that’s obvious). Your body is made up of around 60-80% water and you cannot hope to continue performing your daily chores with the same efficiency if you don’t find enough water. Certainly the amount of usage of water varies depending upon the climate and activities you are involved in, but its presence is always required. In a moderate climate with low levels of activity, approximately 2 liters of water is required daily for a 160 lb person. Certainly when the climate changes or the level of activity turns to exercise, you need to increase this amount simultaneously. The first sign of dehydration may be discerned through the color of the urine. A normal hydrated body produces a pale yellow color, but a dehydrated body produces urine that is darker in color. To make sure that the body doesn’t dehydrate you need to not only meet the required quantity of water, but you also have to make sure that the water is clean. The reason why you constantly need to drink water is because your body continuously releases liquids and you need to maintain those levels. The release of liquids from your body is in the form of urination, sweating, excretion, and respiration. The liquids are released so that the toxins can be removed from your body and proper hydration makes this happen along with redistributing the nutrients in the body. Water also provides the pathway for electrical impulses to travel through nerve and brain cells to activate the muscles. The brain in itself is made up of 80% water.

Almost 1.5 million Americans suffer from heart attacks each year and approximately 1/3rd of these perish.Each year almost 700,000 patients who have heart disease, choose the surgery option and undergo by-pass surgery to recover from their condition. It must be pondered over that surgery is not the answer to every disease, especially this one. There are a lot of other options that can naturally do the same job, and one of these options is cardio training. The book will enlighten you about the whole concept of cardiovascular training and how it benefits the body. Plus, it packs a training program which can help you enormously if you’re a person who plans to get better cardiovascular health. The next section will deal with the importance of cardiovascular training.

Natural Cures for Depression

By: John Davidson,M. Usman

Natural Cures for Depression Table of Contents Getting Started Chapter # 1: Introduction Chapter # 2: Self-Diagnosis Chapter # 3: Types of Depressions Chapter # 4: Teen Depression Understanding Depression Chapter # 1: Causes of Depression Chapter # 2: How common is Depression? Treatments for Depression Chapter # 1: Exercise Chapter # 2: Get outside more Chapter # 3: Diet Chapter # 4: St. John’s Wort Chapter # 5: Meditation Chapter # 6: Other Remedies Chapter # 7: Untreated Depression Conclusion References Getting Started Chapter # 1: Introduction Depression is one of the most common mental disorders known to man. Everyone uses the word “depression” almost every day; people have started using it as an abbreviation for their everyday glitches and fatigues. For instance a person usually says, “I’m depressed” when in reality he/she means, “I’m exhausted and angry because I lost my job”. For most cases, there is not much to worry about as these are the ups and downs of life, which everyone has to face at some point, but with true depression you have a low mood and other characteristic symptoms for most part of the day. If left untreated, these symptoms can further complicate and affect your day to day life. To define it, depression is a medical illness that results in a continuous feeling of gloominess and lack of interest; it affects the person’s thinking, feelings and behavior. There are six known types of depression: • Major Depression. • Chronic Depression. • Bipolar Disorder. • Seasonal Affective Disorder. • Psychotic Depression • Postpartum Depression Surveys reveal that two in three adults suffer from depression at some point in their lives. Sometimes it’s not that serious and the sad feelings fade within a few weeks. However, about 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men undergo an episode of depression that requires some treatment. Most people choose an artificial, ‘take the pill’ treatment over natural and less painful treatments; this book is all about natural cures and the magnitude of their effectiveness when compared to clinical treatments. So delve right in and get rid of that darkness that spoils every joy in your life.

In recorded history, rye was first grown in Germany, back in 400BC; this is not that long ago, considering wheat was being grown in Jordan as far back as 7500 BC! Rye is believed to have been originated from a class of Asian wild grass found in Iran, Armenia and Syria. The Roman philosopher and author, Pliny the Elder stated that rye was a food that wasn’t consumed until every other food item had been exhausted. Despite its ruggedness, rye slowly started gaining importance in Scandinavian and Eastern European cultures, and now, science has discovered that rye is a very nutritious cereal that can keep the body fit. More and more people are getting excited about this crop and are now looking for ways to incorporate it into their diet. This book comprehensively explains every aspect of rye & how it benefits the body.

In other words, first aid can be regarded as the life saving measures. But, why is it so important to know about first aid? The main purpose of first aid is to save the lives of people in life threatening accidental situations when no help is around. No doubt, the era we live in is the era of technologies, machines and modern vehicles, but unfortunately we are utilizing these facilities at the cost of our precious lives. The incidences of fire cases and road side accidents have been increasing for the past few decades. But, in most of the accidental situations, the death of the victim happens due to the lack of immediate medical treatment. Sometimes, it is not possible for the ambulance or a doctor to reach to the calamity stricken location immediately. What would you do if a friend of yours was choking in front of you and none of the people are around you was a doctor? Obviously, you just wouldn’t let your friend die in front of your eyes. This is where your training or knowledge of first aid would come handy, if you had any. By knowing the first aid skills, you might be at least able to save the life of victims on the spot before help could arrive. This clearly portrays the importance of first aid training. The number of precious lives that we lose every year in accidents can be significantly reduced by promoting the concept of first aid training. This basic purpose of this book is to teach you different techniques and maneuvers that everyone should at least have some knowledge about. Who knows when you might face an emergency? It’s better to be prepared than not. So, buckle your seat belts and dive into the world of handy first aid skills that you should know.

Though it may seem to be a normal problem, as it is very common, but it should not be taken carelessly, especially in case of habitual snorers, as it may be an indication of obstructed breathing. Now a days, there are many anti- snoring devices available in the market and every year more of them are added, promising to cure the snoring problem. Unfortunately, many of these devices are not backed by research or lab testing. Some of them may even require you to stay awake the whole night. However, there are plenty of proven techniques and natural remedies that can help in eliminating this problem instead of relying on these devices. In this eBook, we discuss snoring, sleeping disorders, what causes snoring, and natural remedies including home remedies to treat snoring. Apart from that, we also talk about how to deal with the snoring complaints and how to cooperate and ask your partner to support you in curing the problem.

Your geographical location is a major factor when considering the different ways that you may be exposed to dangers, however this is an issue that has the potential to affect you at home, on holiday, or even when you’re visiting a new area. In such situations, it may be difficult to reach the emergency services or contact someone that may be able to help you – you could find yourself isolated from human settlement and left to your instinctive devices. The basics to survival medicine are often overlooked and cast aside when it comes to common knowledge. How many of us could use indigenous plants as an antiseptic? How many of us could bind a wound using natural dressings? These are key skills that we have no use for in our everyday lives and of course, we can always use a helpful app or the internet to help us, right? But, what could we do in situations when those luxuries are out of reach and the only tools we have is the environment around us? This guide will cover the essential basics in survival medicine, giving you a basic knowledge and understanding of how to cope with injuries in such distressing situations. From the contents of your survival pack to using potentially life-saving plants and applying emergency techniques – this guide will help you to build up a solid foundation. If you ever find yourself injured in a disaster situation, you’ll know where to begin.

Its functionality gives us blood and oxygen, without which, no other organs can survive. Life knows no other means if your heart gives way. When we realize the vital importance of this organ we should also recognize our duties to keep it healthy and functioning perfectly. Yes, sometimes nature cannot be combated with, but self induced harshness on this asset of the body is our loss indeed. Heart conditions, once deteriorated, require continuous precautions for the rest of the life with the fear of another attack dangling dangerously above your head. So we will tell you the better way, the precautions we can take up earlier in our lives to keep this tragic event at bay. This book is about you recognizing what your heart is and provides you with knowledge of the symptoms of when its health is deteriorating in various forms. We provide you with health tips and, most essentially, the first aid steps if you witness a heart disease. Once caught in a trap of heart disease, we add steps that you have to adopt, as now they will not be an option but will be an imposition upon you. So it is always better to keep things under your control rather than at the mercy of medicine or forced precautions.

How to Make Shelters In Survival Situations

By: M. Usman,John Davidson

Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Natural Shelters 2.1 Shelter from Caves 2.2 Snow Caves and Shelters Chapter 3: Wood Shelters 3.1 The Dome Shelters 3.2 Ramada Shelters 3.3 Teepee/Tipi Chapter 4: Tarp Shelters Chapter 5: Debris Hut Chapter 6: Conclusion 6.1 Factors Author Bio Publisher Introduction A shelter, shade, or house has been a source of protection and comfort for human kind ever since it first realized the benefits of being under a shelter. In many fronts, a shelter is a very fundamental need of living creatures and it has a psychological and emotional importance and value along with physical and material. Men started building shelters in the earliest times of their existence and since then have been developing the most modern and evolutionary methods of building homes with developing and evolving mental models along with advanced technology. When in the wilderness, shelter is home, a base point to rest, and protection from rain, snow, cold, wild animals, storms, thunders, and sliding lands. Shelter is an unparalleled source of comfort whether you are out in a jungle for an adventure trip or trapped with your friends in an island full of palms and coconuts. Since the primitive ages, creation of shade and formation of a base area to fall upon has been a human norm. The idea of creating a home has nurtured since the beginning of human times on earth, as it was inculcated in man by nature. Creating shelter in the emergency situation can even avoid life threatening situations and provide a point from where the navigation and communication can become easy. Being in possession of the ability and skill set to build a water proof safe shelter is a blessing and drastically increaseschances of survival until aid is received. Creating a shade cannot only help protect you from unkind circumstances and adverse situations, but also benefit others who are accompanying you. Temporary arrangements can also be made by nature if you feel lethargic or have drained yourself with all day tracking. Caves, pits, snow, and dense woods can be your best partners as natural and dependable shelters in cases where building material is not easily available or has been out of reach. However, such lucky opportunities and not available commonly and that is where people like me start writing such kinds of books. Shelter making is knowledge and an art that we shall discuss in detail through the help of this book. We will explain in detail different ways to create and protect shelters and the material required to accomplish this apparently challenging task. Location of shelter is very important; you would not want to lie down next to a snake hole. Select an area to build shelter where you can get ample space to lie down flat, comfortably, without apprehensions. Shelter should be developed near the source of building material and water and away from sliding stones, pooling water, and insects. Make your shelter sufficient in size to fit you inside. It should not be very big since it will take more time, material, and effort to construct and should not be so small so that you would need to squeeze yourself to fit in. The best way is to lie down flat and measure your height with the help of a stick or just take a rough measurement with your hands after marking ground from head to toes. Start building your shelter accordingly once you have a good wilderness judgment of your height. A luxury sized shelter is also not advisable because more vacant space inside will not conserve heat and you may feel cold. An effective adventure shade, which is fit enough, will also conserve body heat and would not allow cold to come inside.

Health Benefits of Oats

By: John Davidson,M. Usman

Health Benefits of Oats Table of Contents Getting Started Chapter # 1: Intro Chapter # 2: Nutritional Worth Chapter # 3: Types of Oats Chapter # 4: Selection & Storage Chapter # 5: Are Oats Gluten-Free? Health Benefits of Oats Chapter # 1: Lowers Cholesterol Levels Chapter # 2: Enhances Overall Cardiovascular Health Chapter # 3: Lowers Type-II Diabetes Risk Chapter # 4: Inhibits Cancer Chapter # 5: Combats Childhood Asthma Conclusion References Author Bio Getting Started Chapter # 1: Intro Since the season of scientific researches in the 20th Century, the popularity of oats has been on the rise and they are gaining ever increasing respect in the scientific community as a nutritious diet. Oats are steadily but surely gaining over the breakfast market and each day a great number of people make the switch in search of the perfect breakfast. No doubt, all those cereal commercials hailing oats have a major hand in making people switch to oats too, but if it weren’t for its mammoth-like health benefits, oats would never have had a chance to remain in the market. But before diving straight into the specifics and health benefits of oats it would better to give a basic overview of oats and explain how they became one of the greatest grains on the planet. The infamous oat, known in the scientific world as Avena Sativa, is a grain obtained from a cereal plan, grown for its seeds. The seeds interestingly are also known as oats and are the part of the plant that is mainly consumed; like many other grains, oats grow on stalks with their kernels distributed along a partial tree-like structure. After being harvested, the grains have their tough hulls removed before they can be made available into the market, either as whole or in milled formed. When it comes to cultivation, oats are one of those plants that are able to withstand poor growing conditions; this is one of the reasons they were cultivated in Europe. Still, the best climate for growing oats is considered to be temperate. Their lower heat requirement during the summers and significant tolerance to wet weather makes them more compatible to variable regions than grains like wheat, barley and rye. On top of this, oats are an annual crop, meaning they can be planted in the autumn for a late summer harvest or during the spring for an early autumn harvest. The resilience & compatibility of oats can be judged by the fact that out of the total world oat produce for 2013, i.e. 21 million tons, Russia and Canada took the top spots with approximately 4 million and 3 million tons of oats respectively. The modern oats are descendants of the wild ret oat, a plant that originated from within Asia. Oats have been in cultivation in various regions of the world for over 2000 years. Before oats were consumed as a food item, they were being used for their medicinal properties, a use which is now again gaining momentum. The cultivation of oats in Europe is widespread and historically, oat was an important commercial crop for the people of Scotland, Germany, Great Britain and Scandinavian countries.

Health Benefits of Probiotics

Health Benefits of Probiotics

By: M. Usman,John Davidson

Health Benefits of Probiotics Table of Contents Getting Started Chapter # 1: Intro Chapter # 2: Diving in Deeper Chapter # 3: Types of Probiotics Chapter # 4: Dosage Health Benefits Chapter # 1: Diarrhea Chapter # 2: Brain Function Chapter # 3: Cholesterol Chapter # 4: Infections Chapter # 5: Chronic Fatigue & Psoriasis Recipes Chapter # 1: Fermented Hot Chili Sauce Chapter # 2: Probiotic Apple & Beetroot Relish Chapter # 3: Moroccan Preserved Lemons Conclusion References Author Bio Intro Bacteria are notoriously known for causing and spreading various diseases in the body, so the whole idea of consuming a few billion of them a day for the goodness of one’s health may seem, both figuratively and literally, hard to swallow! But in the last decade there has been an increasing amount of positive evidence that suggests that many of these bacteria in foods and supplements can actually cure illnesses and eliminate their underlying causes. These “good” bacteria are known as probiotics and are the new big thing in the scientific community. The word “probiotics” is a composite of the Greek words, “pro” and “biotic”. The word “pro” means to amplify promotion while “biotic” means life, therefore, combine the two words and you get something along the lines of “to promote life”. This word-definition fits the description to quite a large extent; the World Health Origination defines probiotics as any live microorganism that provides a health benefit when consumed. Similar descriptions have been provided by other medical research bodies. For most people who are familiar with the word, the mention of probiotics brings up images of yogurt and other fermented food items, but it must be noted that probiotics are not just found in yogurt but can be actively cultured. Nowadays, probiotics are commonly available in supplements in the form of capsules, liquids or in chewable form; a number of strains are sold in the market but the most popular ones are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. Don’t be horrified by their gigantic names as none of your doubts and queries will go unresolved.
