Angel Food Cake

Ingredients

 1 cup(s) cake flour (spooned and leveled)
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
12 large egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar 1
1/4 cup(s) sugar 2 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place flour and salt in a sieve set over a bowl; sift into bowl, and set aside. With a mixer, beat egg whites on medium-high until foamy, about 1 minute. Add cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Continue to beat, gradually adding sugar; beat until stiff peaks form (see below), about 2 minutes. Add vanilla; beat to combine.
Gently transfer egg-white mixture to a large, wide bowl. In four batches, using the sieve again, sift flour mixture over egg-white mixture. While turning the bowl, use a rubber spatula to fold in the mixture by cutting down the center and coming up the sides.

Gently spoon batter into an ungreased angel-food cake pan with a removable bottom; smooth top. Cut a knife or small spatula through batter to release air bubbles. Bake until cake is golden and springs back when lightly pressed, 35 to 40 minutes. Invert pan; let cool in pan, 1 hour. Run a knife around the inside of the pan and around the tube to release cake, and unmold. Use knife to release cake from bottom of pan, and remove.

Bananas: The absolute hunger buster

 Ever grab a snack but then feel hungry again 20 minutes later? Next time, reach for a banana. It’s loaded with Resistant Starch (RS), a healthy carb that fills you up and helps to boost your metabolism. Slightly underripe medium-sized bananas have 12.5 grams of RS—more than most other foods. Ripe bananas give you 4.7 grams of RS, still enough to keep hunger pangs away. Check out these tasty ways to work in this wonder food.

Lose Your Weight With Fresh Fruits

 

Weight Lose with Fresh Fruits Method

Don’t you get tired of eating certain foods that claim to help aid you in your weight loss. You eat fat free chips and sugar free donuts but the weight is still there. I wanted to find a healthy alternative that will not only help burn some of those calories but will help you lose the weight the healthy way.
First we think it’s best to focus on feeling good. Secondly to remind that in order to live a healthy and energetic life in a body that is fit to do that job, attempting to lose weight only will not be the key. There are some other changes you might want to bring into your life. In order to have the cells of your body function properly they have to receive the right nutritious elements and toxins must be kept away from them as much as possible and should be disposed of properly. In order to reach that goal we have the following recommendations for you.

1. Consume as much as you can of the ‘right nutrition’

Stimulants and animal food. Now this list might seem simple enough but it is actually quite difficult to find out which products in the supermarket do or don’t contain one of the products mentioned on the list. If you check out the labels you’ll notice that almost every product contains a stimulant, mostly white refined sugar or some kind of animal based product, often stock.

So, the foods you have to stay away from as much as possible if you want to help your body function properly and thus lose the excess weight are stimulants and animal based food.

3. Exercise moderately
Just a bit of exercise will do. It is important though to get some exercise every day especially if you are in a job where you sit down all day. A half-an-hour walk a day will do. Of course more exercise is always better but never feel bad if you can’t get yourself to do it. If you just take that walk for at least half an hour each day you’ll be fine. Stretching your muscles is also good, it makes you more conscious of your body.

4. Be happy with every small change you’ve been able to make permanently
Your body reacts like an oil tanker so if you want to change course it will take some time. Every structural change in the right direction is one to be proud of as long as it is permanent. After making a change it will take about six weeks before a change becomes permanent and part of your daily life.

Be smart
If you want to be slim you have to be smart: change your eating pattern permanently. In this way you’ll lose those pounds forever! Remember this: after eating (five to) nine pieces of fruit a day for a few months you’ll notice that your appetite for fruit has increased structurally and moreover your appetite for stimulants will certainly have decreased! Try it out, it really is magic! In other words: the more fruit you eat, the more fruit you eat it’s as simple as that.

5. Don’t make losing weight more complicated as it is
Just follow the four steps mentioned before and don’t complicate things when doing so. Be easy on yourself as long as you are working on it. Just follow the simple steps we give you on this page and eating healthy won’t be a punishment anymore. It just will become a whole lot of fun.

If you want to succeed in living a truly healthy life the best thing to do is to consume as much of the ‘right nutrition’ as possible each day. The more raw fruits and (cooked) vegetables you eat, the more your appetite for them increases and you might end up feeding your body with nothing but the right nutrition.

If you don’t consume five pieces of fresh fruit a day yet (raw or squeezed) and you want to lose some weight permanently in a period of, say, six weeks (this period depends on your current eating pattern) the best thing to do is eat (or squeeze) those five fruits every day. If you haven’t consumed that much healthy food for a long time, it is most likely that your body starts to detoxify. You could even get sick!

Right Nutrition List
In other words: to lose weight it is important to live a healthier life, a healthy life starts with healthy food and raw fruits and vegetables are the healthiest food. We recommend you start your weight loss program by having five fruits a day and focusing on feeling good.

2. Avoid as much as you can of the ‘wrong nutrition’
If you want to lose weight quickly just eating or squeezing five pieces of fresh fruit a day will not be enough. We have put together a list of foods to avoid if you want to speed up the burning process. In this way you’ll start burning fat faster. You’ll have to avoid as much food from the ‘wrong nutrition’ list as you can. In fact it’s a simple list to remember, only two food groups are mentioned:

How much vitamin D do pre-teen girls need?

 

A New Research of Doctors

Pre-teen girls may need more vitamin D -- either from diet or supplements -- to have healthy bones, a new study says.

The goal of the study was to figure out how much vitamin D girls aged 11 to 12 would need to take every day in order to keep the levels of this nutrient in their blood at healthy levels. Some experts think that since these girls are growing fast, vitamin D might be particularly important.

Vitamin D aids bone growth by helping the body absorb calcium. An extreme lack of vitamin D can lead to rickets, which causes delayed growth, muscle weakness, and teeth problem in kids. But in the U.S. at least, rickets is rare, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Our skin can make vitamin D when it's exposed to sunlight, or we can get the nutrient in our diet or as supplements.
In the new study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Kevin Cashman, head of the School of Food and Nutritional Sciences at University College Cork in Ireland, and colleagues found that teen girls need a vitamin D intake of about 750 IU per day to have levels in their blood that allow for healthy bone growth.
This amount is slightly higher than the US Institute of Medicine's (IOM) recommendation of 600 IU per day for everyone between the ages of one and 70.
This discrepancy is not surprising. Most experts disagree over what the right amount of vitamin D really is.

Complicating the matter is that the girls in the study all lived in Finland or Denmark, two northern countries with very little sunlight in the winter. And even when it's sunny, the angle of the sun makes the light weaker. As a result, some researchers say it's not clear whether the new finding applies to girls in the US.

How far north you live matters a lot, said Connie Weaver, spokesperson for the American Society for Nutrition who wasn't involved in the study. She said that since most of the US gets more sunshine, base levels of vitamin D are going to be higher.

Except for babies less than a year old, "there's not evidence anywhere that says children will benefit from vitamin D supplements," Weaver said.

On the other hand, "Latitude does matter, but vitamin D levels are often not as simple as the amount of sunshine someone gets," said Dr. Steven Abrams, professor of pediatrics at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. He was not involved in the study either.

Abrams said that wearing sun block and not spending time outside can cut down on the vitamin D we get from the sun.

Even on sunny days in the winter, people in northern countries "still might not have enough to make vitamin D," said Cashman.

In the new study, Cashman and his colleagues kept track of vitamin D levels in almost 150 girls in Finland and Denmark for six months, about the length of the winters there. Each of the girls, 11 to 12 years old, was given a supplement containing either five or ten micrograms of vitamin D, or a placebo (a dummy pill).

Because the girls were all getting some vitamin D in their diets, they had a range of levels, Cashman said. At the end of the winter, he and his team analyzed the amounts of vitamin D that had been in the girls' diet and in their blood. "Once you know that relationship, it allows you to predict what the recommendation needs to be," he said.

According to the IOM, about one in four girls in the US aged nine to 13 has less than the recommended level of vitamin D.

This doesn't necessarily mean that these girls are going to have problems, but "it means that below that level that there's a risk that all of the needs for bone health are not being met," Abrams said. "Above that level, it should be adequate for things that vitamin D does, like absorb calcium."

The current recommendations aren't based on solid data, Weaver said.

"We don't have any real data that says that if you're below that level, there's a real problem," she told Reuters Health.

Until there's more information available, Weaver says, the IOM guidelines-- 600 IU per day-- offer good practical guidance.
