See the Health Benefits of Eating Catfish
Many people enjoy the flavor of catfish, but it offers a variety of health benefits as well. Including the nutritious fish in your diet helps you meet your protein needs and boosts your intake of vitamins and healthy fats and fatty acids. Consider catfish regularly in your meal planning.
Low in Calories and Fat
A 3-oz. serving of catfish introduces 122 calories and 6.1 g of fat into your diet. The low amount of calories in this fish make it a popular choice for a healthy meal plan – women generally require approximately 300 to 500 calories per meal, and men need around 400 to 600 calories, so it fits in well and allows you to serve several healthy side dishes with it. The fat content is also relatively low, and little of it is saturated fat — 2 g. Avoid consuming more than 16 to 22 g of saturated fat per day; too much in your diet can trigger health problems.
Contains Healthy Fatty Acids
Eating catfish is a tasty way to boost your intake of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. One serving of this fish provides 220 mg of omega-3 fatty acids and 875 mg of omega-6. You will not find federal guidelines on the consumption of these fatty acids, although the American Heart Association suggests including fish in your diet several times each week to increase the amount of fatty acids you eat. Both of these nutrients play a part in heart and cognitive health.
Provides Complete Protein
The 15.6 g of protein in a serving of catfish provides you with all of the amino acids your body needs. This high-quality, complete protein helps your body build lean muscle mass, and it also helps improve the effectiveness of your immune function. You may also rely on protein to provide energy, especially if your body has used all of the carbohydrates you have eaten for fuel.
Source of Vitamin B-12
Consume a serving of catfish, and you take in 40 percent of the daily recommended intake of vitamin B-12. As a B vitamin, the vitamin B-12 in catfish is critical to aiding your body in the breakdown of the foods you eat into usable energy, but this vitamin has other functions as well. Without enough vitamin B-12 in your diet, your nerve function suffers, and you might become lethargic.
Low in Mercury
Almost all fish contains mercury, a contaminant that may impact your nervous system, but you may safely eat catfish unless the waters in which it is caught are particularly high in mercury. The Environmental Protection Agency lists catfish as one of the mostly commonly consumed, low-mercury fish. Despite this, limiting your consumption of fish to 12 oz. per week is recommended to decrease your exposure. This is especially important if you are pregnant, since high levels of mercury may harm your fetus.

Ten Tips To Help You Control Your High Blood Pressure
1. ake sure your blood pressure is under 140/90 mm Hg. If your systolic pressure (the top number) is over 140, ask your doctor what you can do to lower it.
2. Take your high blood pressure medicine, if prescribed, every day. If you have questions, talk to your doctor.
3. Aim for a healthy weight. If you are overweight or obese, carrying this extra weight increases your risk of high blood pressure. One way to determine if you need to lose weight is to find out your body mass index or BMI. If your BMI is above the healthy range (i.e., 25 or greater), or if your waist measurement is greater than 35 inches (women) or 40 inches (men) you probably have excess abdominal weight and you may benefit from weight loss especially if you have other risk factors. Talk to your doctor to see if you are at increased risk for high blood pressure and need to lose weight.
4. Increase your physical activity. Do at least 30 minutes of moderate activity, such as walking, most days of the week. You can do 30 minutes in three 10-minute segments.
5. Choose foods low in salt and sodium. Most Americans should consume no more than 2.4 grams (2,400 milligrams) of sodium a day. That equals 6 grams, about one teaspoon of table salt a day. For someone with high blood pressure, the doctor may advise less.
6. Read nutrition labels. Almost all packaged foods contain sodium. Every time you prepare or eat a packaged food, know how much sodium is in one serving.
7. Keep a sodium diary. You may be surprised at how much sodium you consume each day and the diary will help you decide which foods to decrease or eliminate.
8. Use spices and herbs instead of salt to season the food you prepare at home.
9. Eat more fruits, vegetables, grains, and low-fat dairy foods.
10. If you consume alcohol at all, consume moderate amounts. For men, this is less than two 12 oz servings of beer, or two 5 oz glasses of wine, or two 1 1/2 oz servings of "hard" alcohol a day. Women or lighter weight people should have not more than a single serving of any one of these beverages in a given day.

Foods That Make Your Buttocks Bigger Naturally, Just for you my Ladies.
Men everywhere now want women with big backsides, while women are doing everything possible in order to have one.
Before you join the surgery wagon, or kill yourself doing 100 squats a day, know that there are foods that you can eat in order for your backside to grow naturally, they include the following.
Big B.ooty Foods by Macro-Nutrient Sources
Protein
Protein is what typically every woman here will need to eat more of to help make your b.utt bigger. There is a common misconception that eating more protein or drinking protein shakes is only for bodybuilders. This could not be further from the truth. Every person on this planet requires protein rich foods for optimal health. In fact most people who aren’t working out or trying to grow would still benefit from increasing their protein consumption.
If you are exercising and trying to grow your bum, the amount of protein you require will increase, as protein lays down the building blocks for growth.
I recommend you try and get a protein source in every meal you eat. Around 15-30g of protein per meal. I also recommend you get yourself a good protein shake to drink after your workouts and possibly in a meal or two.
So what are some healthy sources of good protein for a bigger b.uttocks:
• Eggs
• Skinless Chicken Breasts
• Salmon
• Tuna
• Tilapia
• Cottage Cheese
• Turkey
• Protein Powder
• Steak
• Beans & Legumes (kidney, chick peas, etc)
• Extra Extra Lean Ground Beef
• Vegetable Burger
• Soya Nuts
• Virtually Any Fish (not fried)
• Most Lean Cut Meats
Carbohydrates:
• Quinoa
• Brown Rice
• Sweet Potatoes
• Oats
• Weetabix
• Coos Coos
• Ezekiel Bread
• 100% Whole Grain Bread (sparingly)
• Low Sugar Breakfast Cereal (sparingly)
Fat:
Contrary to some old stereotypical bad beliefs that are still lingering on — fat does not make you fat. Excess calories and bad foods make you fat, and more prone to getting fat.
Healthy sources of good fats are essential, and can help to actually lose weight or achieve better body composition. Such healthy fat sources include:
• Fish Fat/Oils (fish oil pills, salmon fat, etc)
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Nuts (almonds, cashews, etc)
• Peanut Butter (get the ones that contain only peanuts; typical peanut butter contains harmful additives like hydrogenated oils and sugar)
• Almond Butter
Vegetables:
Vegetables contain tons of anti-oxidants, nutrients and other goodies that are essential for a growing bo.oty. You can typically eat as much of these as you want without fear.
• Broccoli
• Spinach
• Tomatoes
• Kale
• Virtually any dark green vegetable
So remember; simply start adding, replacing, or mixing these healthy food sources into your current diet for making your bu.tt bigger. Healthy foods like these are absolutely essential for laying down the materials to help your bu.tt grow after our b.ooty building exercises.
Finally also remember that most people will require more protein, and that probably includes you.

Lemons are vitamin C rich citrus fruits that enhance your beauty, by rejuvenating skin from within bringing a glow to your face. One of the major health benefits of drinking lemon water is that it paves way for losing weight faster, thus acting as a great weight loss remedy
Watermelons are mostly water — about 92 percent — but this refreshing fruit is soaked with nutrients. Each juicy bite has significant levels of vitamins A, B6 and C, lots of lycopene, antioxidants and amino acids. There's even a modest amount of potassium.
Tomatoes are a rich source of vitamins A and C and folic acid. Tomatoes contain a wide array of beneficial nutrients and antioxidants, including alpha-lipoic acid, lycopene, choline, folic acid, beta-carotene and lutein.
Sea salt is rapidly becoming more popular, as more and more people are learning about all the health benefits that the salt has to offer. The salt is obtained naturally from the sea, and does not go through any processing that alters the natural make-up of the salt.
Thus it contains many essential trace minerals that your body needs in order to be healthy. This natural salt is healthier than the iodized salt available in the market. Read about the ten great benefits to adding sea salt to your diet:
Glycerin attracts moisture onto your skin which is why it is considered a humectant. It is a liquid that resembles Karo syrup as it is sweet-tasting, thick and colorless. You can find it in recipes both for making homemade soaps and for food items in the kitchen. Because it is water-soluble, it can occasionally be found along with alcohols in skin care products such as body lotions and moisturizers as well as other products like shampoos, conditioners and soaps.
We all know the proverb "an apple a day," but equally an orange could be recommended. There are thousands of reasons why eating an orange a day is a good idea; they are low in calories but full of nutrients, they promote clear, healthy skin and can help to lower our risk for many diseases and conditions as part of an overall healthy and varied diet.

• Then add a tablespoon of lemon juice to it.
* And a teaspoon of Glycerin oil to help it look cool
• Apply the mixture on your face, neck and body.

THE TRUTH ABOUT AVOCADO AND WHEAT GERM OIL
I don't usually talk much about my hair, but lately it has been dry and tangled! Seriously — it is awful. I think a poor choice in a do-it-yourself color process and my being in-between "holy grail" conditioners are both to blame. Since I hate the feel of a haystack on my head, I have been experimenting with different oils and home treatments, while I ponder which commercial products to purchase for a (hopefully) more long-term solution.
While perusing the forums here at NaturallyCurly.com in hopes of discovering a new conditioner, I have read several discussions about avocado and wheat germ oils and whether or not they contain significant amounts of plant protein. Since some of us with curly hair love and seek out conditioning products that contain proteins, while others avoid them like the plague, it is an important question. Thus, I thought it would be relevant and possibly fun to examine these two plant oils more closely.
Avocado oil and wheat germ oil are derived from their respective sources using various methods; typically solvent extraction, cold press or mechanical extraction, and more rarely, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. What each of these techniques has in common is that they act to separate the relatively low molecular weight oils (fatty acids) and oil-soluble vitamins and minerals present in the fruit or seed from the other materials that comprise the whole — fiber, protein, sugars and water.
Although I have seen various products advertising that their wheat germ oil contains "many proteins," the evidence does not support this assertion. I wanted to get the opinion of an expert, so I consulted Professor Dunford of Oklahoma State University's Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering. He states that some solid granules or particles may get into the oil during the extraction process, which can lead to the inclusion of some small amount of protein in the oil. However, refined oils go through multiple steps of purification, including additional solvent extraction, filtration, and drying. For this reason, most of these oils used in cosmetics and personal care products should contain no more than trace amounts of protein, if any at all.
Relative concentration of the oil and trace amounts of protein should also be considered. If an oil comprises 1% by weight of a product (or even 5%) and contains a very small amount of protein, the protein concentration is negligible upon dilution of the oil into the product formula and even more so when diluted by water in application. It is my educated guess that the concentration of protein in a product or even in a direct application of the oil will be substantially less than in a protein-containing conditioner.
So what is in these oils that makes them special?
Wheat germ oil
Wheat germ oil ("triticum vulgare" on most personal-care-product labels) is a very nutrient-rich plant-derived oil that contains a variety healthful substances. Among these are several different longer-chain fatty acids, long-chain saturated fatty alcohols such as octacosanol, and plentiful amounts of several vitamins and minerals. It is especially valued for its high content of tocopherols (Vitamin E), known to provide many health benefits.
Wheat germ does not differ from other triglyceride-derived oils, in that it contains a variety of fatty acids, the exact ratio of which will vary. The major components, in descending order of concentration, are:
linoleic acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid
oleic acid
palmitic acid
linolenic acid, an omega-3 EFA
Several other fatty acids are present in very small quantities. The average molecular length of the major fatty acids in wheat germ oil is larger than that of coconut oil, which may give enhanced emollient benefits to wheat germ oil. The presence of the long-chain fatty alcohols also provides an additional boost to the conditioning and moisturizing properties of wheat germ oil. Based on its chemical profile, it seems like a great product to include in your home hair care routine.
Avocado oil
Avocado oil is comprised mainly of oleic acid, palmitic acid, and linoleic acid. It also has several other fatty acids present. Its main fatty acid components are almost identical to those found in wheat germ oil, but the distribution differs. Avocado oil also contains significant amounts of Vitamins A, E, and D, again with Vitamin E being present in significant amounts. This oil is valued for its light feel and excellent emollient properties.
The magic ingredient in both oils?
Both wheat germ oil and avocado oil contain significant amounts of tocopherol, or Vitamin E. Vitamin E has been found to be especially beneficial as a moisturizing agent for both hair and skin due to its ability to pe*******on beneath the surface.. Studies have shown that tocopherol acetate (Vitamin E acetate) is absorbed directly into the hair cortex, where it can moisturize and plump the hair shaft. Deposition/pe*******on profiles have shown that significant amounts are absorbed, and that the effects are cumulative. Deposition is found to be increased on the surface of damaged hair, which is of significance for curly hair, which is more likely to have a damaged cuticle layer.
Another fascinating attribute of Vitamin E is that it has been found to possess properties that enable it to aid in the prevention and reversal of some forms of hair loss. As a powerful anti-oxidant, vitamin E can also protect the hair from damage caused by free radicals encountered due to exposure to UV radiation (sunlight), chemicals and pollutants.
The incorporation of natural, plant-based oils into a home hair care routine is a timeless tradition. It is so much fun to play with them, as there are so many with which to experiment and most of them smell really good! The two oils discussed in this article seem to be exceptional candidates due to the fatty alcohols present in wheat germ oil and the Vitamin E found in both of them. Unless one has a severe allergy to wheat protein in particular, I would also not be concerned about the presence of any trace amounts of protein molecules in the oil. So, once again, it is time to hit the health food store and stock up on some cooking and beauty products!

I love the avocado in all of its forms. I find an avocado can give a decadent flair to an otherwise bland salad or sandwich, not to mention my affection for guacamole. But it's also an amazing beauty elixir, especially good for curly hair. This article will systemically explain "everything avocado" -- from its origins and history to its growth, distribution and uses -- both folk and commercial -- in health and beauty products.
As a beginning soap maker and creator of natural products, I have found 1,001 uses for avocado oil. It is great for super-fatting soap, which means it remains a free, readily available ingredient in soap, unhampered by the cold processed soap-making process. Avocado oil, added at the end of its process (right before pouring into molds), adds emollient and humectant properties. Of course, as a hot-oil treatment, it does much the same for the hair (there is a recipe at the end of this article). The oil can be used for manicures and pedicures as well. Today, avocado butter -- another way of processing the oil -- has a dense, buttery consistency, making it ideal for creating at-home spa products.
Apart from the oil, the flesh itself can be mashed and prepared into an effective, easy-to-make deep conditioner for damaged or dry hair. I started making soaps and creams about eight years ago. Since then, a plethora of products -- especially hair products -- have popped onto the market-containing avocado.
Nutritious Avocado Oil
Chemically, avocado contains 1.5 to 2.5 percent protein and 13-22 percent oil[1]. Avocado oil is rich in vitamins A, B, C and E. The amino acid content range is: palmitic, 7.0; stearic, 1.0; oleic, 79.0; linoleic, 13.0.
Avocado oil has a great shelf life (one of the qualities I appreciate the most with herbal formulations). It has been reported to last as long as 12 years when kept at 40ºF. I have found it to be very useful for kinky, curly or wavy hair because of its rich viscosity. Like many tropical oils, it has some ability to filter out rays of the sun, it is non-allergenic and is similar to lanolin in its penetrating and softening abilities.
Avocado Oil, Skin and Flesh
For hair, it is used in hot-oil treatments and for deep, hair conditioning; the skin is antibiotic and is used in folk medicine to kill bugs within the body and to treat dysentery. Avocado pulp can be whipped smooth and applied to face or massaged into the hair for a quick and easy softening, conditioning and moisturizing mask. The fruit has the highest energy content of any fruit. It is high in its vitamin and mineral content, as well as a good source of mono-unsaturated fat and soluble and insoluble fiber. In poor areas of the world, it has been coined the “poor man’s butter.”
Leaves
Avocado leaves produce an oil, estragol, that is used in the cosmetics industry.
The leaves are chewed to treat pyorrhea, a very serious gum disease.
Leaf poultices are used to treat wounds.
The leaf juice contains antibiotics.
Seed
The powdered seed is used to combat dandruff.
The seed is cut in pieces, roasted, powdered and used as a diarrhea or dysentery remedy.
A piece of the seed, or a bit of the decoction, put into a tooth cavity is used in folk medicine to relieve toothache.
Ointment made of the pulverized seed is rubbed on the face to draw energy to the area, reddening it and working as a natural blusher.
Avocado Recipes
AVOCADO HOT OIL TREATMENT
Whatever the season, the hair can benefit from a little special treatment beyond the usual shampoo or conditioner. I recommend this dense, hot oil treatment to add shine. It has a minty, floral scent provided by the essential oils, which also help condition hair and scalp. Recommended for dry, damaged, color-treated or chemically treated hair.
¾ cup avocado oil
1/8 cup safflower oil
1/8 cup sweet almond oil
8 drops lavender
6 drops lemongrass oil and rosemary
4 drops geranium (essential oils)
Mix fixed oils (first three ingredients) in order given in a non-reactive bowl. Heat 40 seconds in microwave-safe bowl. Using individual droppers, drop in essential oils in order given; swirl to mix. Test on back of wrist to make sure temperature is acceptable (not too hot). Divide hair into small sections; secure with clips or bobby pins. Apply warmed oils to scalp and ends of hair. Massage in. Put on a shower cap or other plastic head wrap. Let oils continue to warm using body heat and sunlight if available for 45 min. Shampoo and style as usual.
AVOCADO CONDITIONER
Flesh of a ripe avocado
¼ cup coconut cream
¼ cup coconut water
3 tablespoons mayonnaise containing egg
In medium-sized bowl mix avocado and coconut cream. In very small bowl whisk together coconut water and mayonnaise using a spatula to add this to the first mixture. Whisk all together until smooth. Divide hair into 6-8 segments. Slather green mixture on each segment working all the way into hair, from scalp area to the ends. Put on shower cap or other loose fitting plastic cap. Sit out in the sun if possible or under dryer on medium high setting, if available. Leave on hair for 45 min. Rinse thoroughly. Shampoo and style as usual.
