Nature’s Vital Energy
It has been found that Royal Jelly helps give the Queen Bee a great vitality which not only allows her to make thousands of eggs daily but also gives her a longevity of up to 30 times that of bees which don’t feed on this nectar. Biologists and apiculturists have done studies to see if this product which does so much Queen bee can have positive results for humans as well. They have found that they produce superb results of vitality and health.
The Queen Bee increases to 2000 times its original weight in its first week of life, doubling its length in the same period, and reaching its maturity in less time than the drones. Once the larva that will become Queen Bee has been chosen, only she can feed on the Royal Jelly, nourishment which brings great fortitude, vitality, and longevity.
Royal Jelly is a milky-white, gelatin-like substance that is produced by the worker bees through a gland that is found in its phalanx. No one knows for certain all of the beneficial effects, but what is known is that in humans it produces great vitality and cellular rejuvenation.
It has been found that Royal Jelly possesses a large amount of Acetylcholine. This substance is one of the principal transmitters of nerve impulses. The absence of this neurochemical can bring as a consequence many disorders to nervous system.

LOW GI has become the buzz term in dietary circles. But what does it actually mean and how do you put it into practice?
The glycemic
index as a ranking of carbohydrate foods according to their effect on
the blood glucose levels. Foods are ranked from zero to 100. Less than
55 causes blood sugar levels to go up rapidly and they are the ones
that cause all the health problems.
At recent meta-analysis by the
University of Sydney found that diets with high GI increased your risk
of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The study also found a link
between a high GI diet and high blood pressure, gallstones and some
types of cancer.
The key message from this study is that the GI of
your diet is a powerful predictor of disease risk. Grandma was right:
you are what you eat.”
Adopting a low GI is not nearly as
complicated as it seems. Most refined and processed carbohydrates are
very high GI (and often high in fat as well) as well as foods such as
potatoes and white bread. Low GI foods include cereals based on oats,
barley and bran, breads withwhole grains, basmati rice and plenty of salad vegetables.
Making it even easier is the GI symbol that can now be found on a range of low GI foods.
The GI symbol indicates that a food has had its GI measured properly and meets all the nutritional group.

If you’re catching up with a friend this weekend, chances are there will be involved somewhere.
Eating out is the most popular way to keep in touch with friends, which is funny when you consider how many ways you can be rude when eating.
When tucking into your dinner beware of big no-nos like getting caught talking with your might full, accidental splashes of sauce or crumbs around your mouth, or God forbid food in your teeth.
Even if you’ve managed to get through a meat without doing any of the above you still have to worry about stinking of a garlic or onion.
The truth is stuffing our faces seems to complement just about any social occasion.
And don’t think this situation has come about by chance.
Manufacturers know the most people have little or no willpower when faced with a delicious treat.
What’s more worrying is the growing number of people who can’t control their munchies and go one step further.’I'm talking about the weird world of competitive eating.
There are plenty of idiots out there who take the competitions seriously and :train” for weeks on end.
They’ve even set up an international federation.
Looking at the federation’s homepage, I have to admit I was shocked.
You assume the people competing would absolutely adore the food they are gobbling down.
But the records show people are downing bowls of mayonnaise, raw onion, beef jerky, pigs’ feet and knuckles, (an American Thanksgiving invention – chicken stuffed into a duck, then stuffed into turkey , then cooked).
A quick Google search brings up wistful tales from gluttonous food lovers of all-you-can-eat ice cream, hot dog, spaghetti and oyster feasts happening all over Australia.
Yes, that’s right, it’s not just the Yanks who reward gluttony with a cash bonus.
Even the Federal Government – you know, the one “committed to healthy eating and reducing obesity” – has pie-eating competitions on its official list of suggested Australia Day activities.
What a message to be sending out.
If you want to be an Aussie you must binge-eat kilo joule-ridden pies.
Even more ludicrous is the food federation’s mantra – that eating is a “skill” people can work on.
Someone should tell these people eating is not a skill.
You are not skilled if you enjoy eating straight mayonnaise – you need help.
And eating in such excess is bloody dangerous, too.
Last year in the US a woman died from drinking too much water in a radio station competition.
And only last March a man in Britain died after taking a part in a cake-eating competition.
While your first reaction might be a stifled giggle at the though of someone dying from an attack of the fairy cakes, when people die it becomes clear these competitions are past their use-by date.

Omega 3 is a smart move for expectant mothers if they eat enough of it late in pregancy because it can give their babies a brain boost.
Researchers found that among 109 Inuit infants, those whose umbilical-cord blood was higher in docosahexaenoic acid, an omega 3 acid, at birt did better in brain and eye tests at six and 11 months.
The findings that reported in the Journal of Pediatrics, highlight the importance of DHA in the mother’s diet during the third trimester of pregnancy, when brain development accelerates.

Bell peppers come in a rainbow of rich colors and, while there’s no such thing as an unhealthy choice, some are nutrition standouts. Red peppers pack the most powerful antioxidant punch, but yellow and orange peppers are close behind, say researchers from Louisiana State University. Yellow peppers are also the vitamin C champs: Just one delivers 340 milligrams (mg) of the vitamin-more C than you’d get in three 8 ounce glasses of orange juice. Green peppers, which haven’t matured to their final color, also haven’t developed their full array of nutrients. Still, eating one will ensure that you meet your 60 mg vitamin C quota for the day.

A lot. As natures perfect baby food, breast milk is the nuritional basis of formula.or artificial baby milk. But since breastmilk is specifically designed by nature for babies, the composition of its nutrients, in the right proportions, remains unmatched.

Species-specific milk
All mammals species produce milk, but the composition of their milk is species-specific. The milk of each mammal species is intended to supply its offspring with appropriate requirements for its optimal growth, development and survival.
Some species milk, like those of elephants and pigs, are high in fat to effectively coat their bodies with a thick layer of fat. Others, like those of rats and seals, have high protein content for rapid growth and maturation. For species, like humans, that readily need available resources of sugar for their rapidly growing brains, milk is high in carbohydrates.
Since humans are the slowest growing and maturing mammals, but with the most advanced brain, human milk has relatively low protein content and high level of carbohydrates.

Breast milk composition
Human breast milk has unique components that offer optimal absorption of nutrients and minerals, protection from harmful bacteria, and assistance in the digestion of fats. It also has special growth factors and hormones that comtribute to the child’s optimal development. And since breastmilk is a living biological fluid, its composition changes as the baby grows to meet the child’s changing nutritional needs.
Some of its components that are absent of deficient in pasteurized cow’s milk are:
. Maternal antibodies to protect against infection
. Fat – and water- soluble vitamins
. Minerals like calcium, phosporus and zinc
. Lactose that aids in calcium absorption
. Bile Salt Stimulated Lipase that aids in digestion of fats
. Cystine that is essential in (preventing) immune dysfunction
. Taurine as a dietary essential nutrient
. Secretory Immunoglubin A
. Lactoferrin with antibacterial and antiviral properties
. Lysozyme that breaks cell walls of bacteria in the gastro intestinal tract
. Bifidus factor that inhibits growth of harmful bacteria
. Why protein
. Polysaturated fatty acids
. Essential fatty acids like linolenic, linolenic and arachadonic

Research shows that the unique composition of breast milk provides protection against illnesses, increases a child’s I.Q., reduces risk of obesity, improves the effectiveness of immunization, and enhances emotional security.
Studies shows that babies who do not receive breast milk have higher rates of pneumonia, childhood diabetes and cancers, SIDS and gastroenteritis.

‘Human milk are for babies as cow’s milk are for…’
Breast milk advocates declare that cow’s milk are not intended for babies because they are unfit for infant consumption. There is substantial evidence that these “lactivists” speak the truth.
Most, if not all, milk formulas are made from cow’s milk.
Whole cow’s milk also contain sufficient vitamin E, iron, sodium and potassium that may put a strain on the infant’s immature kidneys. Moreover, the protein and fat in whole cow’s milk are more difficult for infant to digest and absorb than breast milk’s. This is the reason why most formula-fed babies experience intestinal irritation and anemia.
Although some milk companies have added some of the breast milk components to their milk formulas, the special composition of human milk remains to be vastly superior. Antibodies found in breast milk just cannot be added to formulas.
Breast milk is truly a unique and special substance that gives a healthy start in life.

So if you have not started yet, you better go for human milk for the best of your precious. I myself do used breast milk for my babies but only until one month. It is better than nothing because it is really proven to be the best nutritious milk than any other.
