Losing weight takes time

January 4, 2012 · Posted in Beauty and Fitness, Food, Health · Comment 

Losing weight takes time but it sure is worth it. We know that overweight or obesity can cause all sorts of health problems or issues, such as, high blood pressure, heart diseases, kidney problems, cancer and many others. Life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can. I have some friends who are overweight and tried losing weight. It took them time until they reached their goals. Losing weight cannot be done overweight so don’t expect immediate results. You can expect your body to lose weight right away.

However, you have to be patient and courageous in this matter. Don’t get frustrated (which is normal) and discouraged too. Don’t compare yourself to others. Some people may lose weight right away, while others don’t. Patience is the key to losing weight.

There are many  ways to lose weight. You can undergo surgery, take diet pills to burn fat, workout, control your diet, etc. Pick your choice. But take note you should consult your doctor or primary physician regarding this matter. Your doctor knows your health condition more than you do.

Like I said, losing weight takes time. It may take months and months but you know what, it’s really worthwhile.

Do you like chiles?

Do you like chiles? Chiles give you the heat and the endorphin rush. Aside from that, they are very beneficial to our body.

Chiles are known to reduce stress, minimize facial wrinkles, aids in digestion and circulation, and prevent heart disease. It is just amazing how these hot vegetables can do to our body. And if you want to lose weight, add chiles to your diet and you will the amazing results. Many people lost tons of weight when they add chiles to your diet.

I remember the first time I had chiles, I was surprised with the heat. I must admit that I did not like it at first but as I slowly add chiles to my food I got used to it. Now, I appreciate its taste. And I don’t really mind the heat anymore. I feel more healthy whenever I have chiles on my plate. I love Mexican food and I never missed eating Mexican food without chiles at all. I cook food with chiles too. Undeniably, chiles add flavor to your food.

In fact, I was thinking of planting green chile in our backyard, so I don’t have to buy chiles at the stores. For me, it is much convenient to have some chiles in our backyard. I can easily pick them fresh from the vine. When you eat chiles, the fresh, the better. I would also include hatch chile in my list. I love hatch chiles especially in Spanish food.

Since I don’t have enough time to plant chiles at my backyard, I might want to buy some chiles online. As I browsed the Internet using my favorite search engine, Google (of course) for chiles, I came across hatchnmgreenchile.com. I was amazed that I can fresh chiles from their farm. They are pretty affordable too. So, I will probably order some green chiles soon.

Why chili peppers are hot?

June 22, 2011 · Posted in Food · Comment 

Do you like hot chili peppers? I like certain chili peppers.  But I was wondering why chili peppers are hot. Do you wonder too? Well, I found the answer to this. The new research study shows that it has something to do with insects and microbes. Some peppers grow that heat to fight a seed-eating fungus. These fungi eat down the seeds. The scientists noticed that plants in areas with more of the seed-destroying fungus produced more capsaicin—it is a substance that gives the peppers their heat. That is very interesting! Actually, chili peppers are good. It boosts our immune system!

I love Jalapeños

I like the burning sensation and spice of jalapeño. I had jalapeños in a can, pickled in vinegar with carrots and onions. I can’t really afford to eat fresh jalapeño. I’d burn my mouth to death. haha just exaggerating! Actually, pickled jalapeño is so appetizing to me. Jalapeños (Capsicum annum) are a good source of vitamin C, folate and vitamin A. It can boost our immune system. They are popular chili peppers that have a good amount of heat and rich flavor. They are commonly used in Mexican cooking which add a great deal of flavor. However, most people considered jalapeño as being very hot, but it actually varies from mild to hot depending on how and where it was grown and how it was prepared. The heat is more concentrated in the seeds and the veins. I usually don’t eat the veins. If you want to have a milder taste, remove those parts. You can find jalapeños in a can, pickled and sliced. The sliced jalapeños can be milder than fresh ones. But the whole pickled jalapeños are always hot and it is appetizing most especially with carrots.

Carbohydrates

Don’t you know that there are bad carbohydrates and good carbohydrates? People who are interested in losing weight generally tend to stay away from carbs. But they don’t know how to differentiate bad carbohydrates from good ones. Carbohydrates are mixture of starches, sugar and fiber that offer fuel to the body and breakdown into glucose. Glucose is a type of sugar that our cells use it as source for daily activities. People eat good carbohydrates are less expected to build up body fat. Good carbs can be found whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables, which also offer lots of extra health benefits, including heart disease and cancer prevention. These carbs can’t be digested easily but it keeps your sugar and insulin levels on balance. While bad carbs are foods that have been processed such as flour, refined sugar, and white rice. You can digest these carbs quicker but these carbs increase in sugar that causes to weight gain.
