  "B" Vitamins, Unleash The Beast Inside You This is another vitamin article that I have written, but the only difference is that this one goes into more detail about specific vitamins.  My previous articles do not do that.  Those articles were more of a short introduction into vitamins, their role and their best food source.  I'll start with 2 water Soluble Vitamins and 1 fat soluble vitamins. Water Soluble Vitamins:  These are water-soluble vitamins that are not stored in the body and must be replaced each day. These vitamins are Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, Folic Aid, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin and vitamin C. Lets start with the b vitamins:  Vitamin  B1 is needed to process carbs, fats, and proteins.  Vitamin  b1 is required by everybody to form the fuel the body runs on.  Every nerve cell requires vitamin b1 to function properly. Wheat germ, peas, beans, enriched flour, fish, peanuts, and meat  are ...

  After deciding visiting a dermatologist, you may wonder whether prescription drugs are effective for the prevention of acne as well. Experts say that all standard dermatological treatments for adult acne should also be used for prevention.   If topical combination therapy of traditional medicine is unsuccessful, then your dermatologists may suggest that you begin taking oral antibiotics such as tetracycline, erythromycin, or minocycline while using topical creams. They may also suggest that you undergo some laser treatments just to get rid of those acne scars. Fortunately, there are other ways to do it naturally. There are skin care products these days that have natural ingredients and biological substances that are effective in treating acne scars as well. However, these acne scar treatments will be useless if you fail to identify the causes of acne. Chances are, it will only re-occur and get back to being a problem once again. So, it’s always better to identify its ca...

   I seem to lost count on how many times I've read and heard of celebrity marriages failing almost left and right. Not that I care (and personally I don't), it seems strange that we often see movie and TV stars as flawless people, living the fairytale life of riches and glamour. I suppose we all have to stop sticking our heads in the clouds and face reality. There are many ways to lose your sense of self-esteem despite of how trivial it could get. But whatever happens, we should all try not to lose our own sense of self. So what does it take to be a cut above the rest? Here are some of the things you can think and improve on that should be enough for a week. 1. Know your purpose  Are you wandering through life with little direction - hoping that you'll find happiness, health and prosperity? Identify your life purpose or mission statement and you will have your own unique compass that will lead you to your truth north every time. This may seem tricky at first when you see...

  Goals... ...and resolutions." Yes, it's that time of the year again. Why is it that every time Jan 1st comes around, everyone starts to think about their new resolutions for the year? Or perhaps "new" isn't the correct word -- perhaps "recycled" is more apt?  After all, isn't it true that for most people, "resolutions are made to be broken?" Goals are a wonderful way to inspire us towards getting the things in life that we want, but more often than not, they simply end up unattained and we get frustrated (again) at the end of the year. But it doesn't have to be so. Really. You can attain your goals or resolutions, but only IF you know how to go about setting them up correctly in the first place.  And I'll give you a few useful pointers to help you get started on the right track... - Begin with the end in mind.  What's the end result you want to achieve?  Do you want to lose weight?  Or do you want to drop 1 dress size instead...

 Liquid vitamins have been taking the vitamin supplement spot light.  Questionable facts and liquid vitamin claims have plagued the minds of many.  The vitamin absorption truth has finally arrived. The most controversial liquid vitamin myth has to be vitamin absorption superiority.  Pill form vitamins offer up to 30% absorption rates while liquid vitamins boast a 90% absorption rate.  It is time to prove or disprove this fact in a visual manner. The fact testing approach performed involves a very simple experiment.  The experiment began with a theory.  For a nutrient to be absorbed into the blood stream, it will have to be completely simplified before passing through the body’s membranes; the villi in the small intestine or the mucous membrane.  With this in mind, a pill must be simplified before any nutrient absorption can take place.  This will limit the pill form vitamin to basically one pathway of entry into the blood stream; the small in...

  Most diet plans, including low carb diet plans are best taken with a grain of salt, because although one may work for your best friend, it may not work for you. For those with serious weight problems and have co-existing issues such as hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar levels) or like some of us hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar levels) etc., the popular diet plans usually will not be able to cater to individual needs. We are all individuals and as such we need to feed ourselves as individuals, having said this some diet plans will be more beneficial for the general population that others.   To assess which particular diet plan will be beneficial, you can follow these guidelines. They are very much common sense points, and provide a good framework which many nutrition professionals would broadly follow, and within which you can divide the scammy diet plans from those that can offer you safe and healthy diet ideas. Diet offers sufficient balance and a variety of carbohydrate...
