What is better for you: Beef, pork, chicken?

Which is better for you??
· The new food pyramid, while far from being perfect, is an improvement on the old Food Guide Pyramid because it separates the major food groups by quality.
· All fish and seafood are good sources of protein, with about 20-25 grams for every three-ounce serving (the size of a deck of cards) of fish, crab, lobster, prawns and scallops, and 11-18 grams for oysters, mussels and clams.
· Oily fish, meaning, fish whose body fat is distributed throughout their flesh, contains the highest amounts of the essential fatty acid omega-3.
· Omega-3 reduces triglyceride levels, makes blood less likely to clot, improves blood flow, reduces blood pressure, and prevents abnormal heart rhythms.
· Omega-3 may also relieve rheumatoid arthritis, prevent type-2 diabetes, and improve the symptoms of attention-deficit disorder and dyslexia.
· While very few of us will be able or want to consume as much fish as the Greenland Eskimos, it is possible to get too much omega-3 if you take fish oil supplements.
· Dosages of 4-10 grams daily of fish oil supplements have been known to increase blood-sugar levels in diabetics (lower doses of 2.5 grams do not).
· Shellfish (crabs, shrimp, squid, oysters, mussels) is naturally low in fat and contains minerals such as magnesium, copper, zinc and selenium.
· Modern methods reveal that shellfish, like many other types of fish, contains less than 100 milligrams of cholesterol for a three-ounce serving.
· All this doesn't really make a difference if you have normal cholesterol levels because it is saturated fat and trans-fat that have a greater impact on your blood cholesterol and not dietary cholesterol.
· The word "poultry" includes chicken, turkey, duck, and goose and, I suppose, even ostrich, but for the sake of saving column space and because the No. 1 kind of poultry eaten is chicken, let's just stick to that.
· Many people ask, "Is chicken better for you than beef or pork?"
· Both poultry and meat are good sources of protein (about 24 grams for a three-ounce serving), iron, zinc, and Vitamins B6 and B12.
· Chicken fat, like all other kinds of fat, is a mixture of saturated (31 percent), monounsaturated (49 percent), and polyunsaturated fat (20 percent).
· Fifty percent of chicken fat is found in its skin while the other 50 percent is found in its meat.
· When it comes to cholesterol, beef, pork and chicken have approximately the same amounts.
· A three-ounce serving of roast beef has 73 milligrams (mg) while the same size serving of pork rib chop has 69 mg and chicken breast has 72 mg.
· Regarding saturated fat, beef has 38 percent; pork has 35 percent, while chicken has 31 percent.
· If you compare the same size serving of grilled beef or pork tenderloin with all visible fat removed and a breaded deep-fried chicken thigh, beef and pork will be the better choice in terms of calories and fat.
· As a rule of thumb for chicken, skinless white meat has the least amount of calories and fat, followed by skinless dark meat, white meat with skin, and dark meat with skin (which has the highest amount of fat).
· The skin is also, according to many people, the most delicious part of chicken.
· Even if you don't intend to eat the skin, leave it on during cooking because it helps to keep the chicken meat moist and flavorful.
· Of all the cooking methods, slow-roasting a whole chicken at a low temperature removes the most amount of fat.
· The term "red meat" includes beef, pork, lamb, caribou and other exotic varieties like buffalo, deer, and wild boar.
· Protein itself does not appear to be related to higher rates of heart disease, cancer or diabetes.
· The reason red meat is put at the tip of the new pyramid with the advice to "eat sparingly" is because it tends to include more saturated fat than other protein sources.
· A lean cut of beef or pork can have less fat than dark chicken meat with the skin on.
· The pyramid is not perfect and needs streamlining of its own.
· A high consumption of red meat has may be associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, type-2 diabetes and colon cancer.
· Even in the studies that show there might be a link, the researchers involved say they don't know exactly why.
· The African Masai tribe eats a lot of protein and saturated fat but don't suffer any ill effects.
· It is dangerous to compare ourselves with indigenous people who still live the traditional way because we live totally different lifestyles.
· Truly, more studies are needed to clarify the exact role of red meat in colon cancer and the specific role of saturated fat in heart disease since we now know that trans-fat from hydrogenated cooking oil raises bad cholesterol and lowers the good kind, refined carbohydrates raise triglycerides and lower good cholesterol, and eating more omega-6 (found in most vegetables oils) than omega-3 can raise blood pressure and blood clotting.

Heston Blumenthal’s triple cooked chips

Heston Blumenthal’s triple cooked chips (serves 2):

2 large Maris Piper potatoes

Sliced the potatoes into 2cm thick chips. Don’t be too fussy about this; uneven things are charming. Rinse the potatoes well under running water to remove excess starch from the surface (this will stop them clinging together in the fat).

Plunge the chips into salted boiling water and reduce the heat to a simmer. This will ensure the middle is cooked thoroughly before they turn into mush. Remove from the water when a knife point slides in easily – this will take about 10 minutes.

Drain the chips well and put in a single layer on a tray. Put into the freezer for 30 minutes to completely dry them out.

Bring a plain oil (e.g. rapeseed) to 130°C – use a probe or sugar thermometer to achieve this. Drop the chips in and fry until they turn a very pale yellow and as Heston says, “have a dry appearance”. It’s an odd description but you’ll know it when you see it. Don’t let them turn brown. This will take another 10 minutes.

Drain again, bake on the tray and back in the freezer to dry out.

Bring the oil up to 180°C. Chips back in, now let’s get them coloured. Keep them in there until you get a nice dark brown on the edges. Yep, another 10 minutes. When done drain thoroughly and chuck on the Maldon sea salt – they can take quite a bit.

含義:有多智謀,雖有興大業,博得名利的實力,但每發生意外的陷害,內外不和,困難苦慘不絕。如果主運有此數又乏其他吉數以相助,多陷病弱,孤寡。甚至有夭折,妻子死別,刑罰。殺傷等災。為萬事挫折非命至極。故也叫短命數。但先天有金者,可成巨富,怪傑,偉人。

外格9的解析:外格又稱變格,影響人的社交能力、智慧等,其數理不用重點去看。

氧就是生命

氧就是生命!
我們與皮膚都同樣需要氧。氧能加速皮膚細胞中的新陳代謝和微血管循環,又能重組受損細胞和纖維組織,以及加速其自癒能力,製造新細胞!
基於日益嚴重的空氣污染,大氣含氧量已由遠古時代的50%降至現在的18%。再加上我們日常吸收的食物添加劑、尼古丁、酒精、藥物等,令細胞更缺氧。
因此單靠呼吸,已經不能滿足肌膚的需要,加速皮膚衰老,甚至引發各種皮膚及健康問題,後果嚴重。

功效:
防止細胞衰老,令肌膚重現亮澤;具美白功效;加速細胞生長;有助降低暗瘡之菌苗滋生;消滅細菌;疏通毛孔;直接噴於傷口上,可加速傷口癒合,修補受損之細胞膜。

Oxygen is life!
We need oxygen and so does our skin.Oxygen is responsible for accelerated metabolism and microscopic blood circulation among skin cells.
It accelerates the self-healing and regeneration of damaged cells and tissues.
As a result from constant increases in air pollution,the oxygen content in the air around us has dropped from 50%(in ancient times)to 18%(today).
together with influences of food additives, tobaccos, alcohols, medicines and etc.,the oxygen contained in our body is further decreased.
Our environment no longer provides adequate oxygen for our skin, and this speeds up skin aging process and causes many other skin problems.

Functions:
Anti-aging,whitening,refreshing and revitalizing ;
anti-bacteria,opens and relaxes pores,decreases bacteria formation in acne;
accelerates the growth of new cells,improves wound-healing and repairs damaged skin cells by increasing skin cells metabolism.
