http://chinesefood.about.com/library/weekly/aa011400a.htm here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful:

* cancer
* rheumatoid arthritis
* high cholesterol levels
* cariovascular disease
* infection
*

impaired immune function

What makes green tea so special?

The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke.

Green tea weight loss diets have been doing the rounds for some time.  As usually is the case, their popularity increased once celebrities started using them and claiming weight loss on them.  These days you can see green tea in several products for its claimed anti-aging effects as well as for weight loss.

1. Not A Fad Diet:

You must keep in mind the difference between the Green Tea weight loss diet and a fad diet. You do not drink green tea all day, and eat almost no food to lose weight.  The use of green tea is because of its properties that have been shown to speed up the metabolism of the person drinking it, and obviously this is beneficial for weight loss.  Green tea is thus one of a few tactics you can use to speed up your metabolism and increase your weight loss.

2. It increases your metabolism:

When you drink green tea the body goes through a reaction that produces heat and assists in the burning of fat.  In this process heat is released and the body's metabolism gets a jumpstart.  You don't have to only drink tea to get this reaction there are other foods that will have the same effect. Cold water also increases you metabolism for about ninety minutes afterwards.

These properties of green tea work together with your body to speed up weight loss. All you need to do is add green tea to a healthy balanced diet and you will reap the benefits of the green tea effects.  It really is as easy as that. There is no need to include any expensive supplements if you do not wish to.

3. It suppresses your appetite:

Another very important benefit of green tea is that it reduces the appetite.  By drinking Green tea on a regular basis it helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable.  So, actually the best benefit of green tea is that it keeps you from being hungry all the time. Obviously this keeps you from snacking and giving in to temptations!

We all know that the body stores excess carbohydrates as fat.  This is an ongoing process.  It is believed that Green tea keeps the body from doing that for a short space of time after you have had a cup of Green tea. When you drink green tea, your body allows a bigger window for eating carbohydrates to use as fuel for the body and therefore less of the carbohydrates gets stored as fat.  This has the added benefit of more sustained energy levels. The length of this working is not known, but we can use all the help we can get!

4. Your caffeine fix without the empty calories:

Another very important benefit of Green tea is that it helps caffeine addicts to eat fewer calories as well.  Green tea also contains caffeine.  So the benefit for the caffeine addicts is that they can have their caffeine fix without adding the milk and sugar, thus without adding calories to their diet. 

Unfortunately it is true that green tea is rather bitter but small amounts of sugar substitutes can sweeten it to make it palatable. For many coffee drinkers cutting out the calories added by sugar and milk will be enough to start the weight loss process.  I also find Green tea very beneficial as a "pick me up" when I'm having a bad day and I'm very tired. This in turn stops me from nibbling, as I tend to snack when I'm tired.

Most people do not realize how many empty calories they consume each day with drinking coffee and other beverages.  Eliminating even half of those empty calories will promote weight loss. This is something to keep in mind with all beverages you normally drink, even fruit juice. Try and get into the habit of drinking Green tea when you crave something. With any diet it is always to have a kind of "stop" that you fall back on when the going starts getting tough.

Start having a cup of green tea with every meal if you enjoy having something to drink with your meals.  Even one or two cups of green tea a day will let you reap the health and weight loss benefits of the tea.  There are many ways you can use to get the green tea into your system for weight control.  Green tea is also available as a cold tea drinks and in nutritional supplement.  During the summer I find cold Green tea very refreshing and satisfying.

For me the most important part is that you can add green tea to any diet plan that you want to use. In doing so you can improve your weight loss without any real added effort. So, any diet can be turned into a green tea weight loss diet.

Of all the products on the market today for skincare, the most readily recognized are the alpha and beta hydroxy acids. One of the reasons for their success, excluding an incredible marketing push, is the fact that they actually do what they claim to do. They both act as chemical "peels" for the skin.

Alpha-hydroxy acid is derived from fruit (citric, glycolic, tartaric and malic) acids or dairy (lactic) acids while Beta hydroxy acid is salicylic acid which is derived from aspirin. Neither of these products is new. Both have been around and in use for thousands of years. The difference is in the amount of research and marketing that has gone into the modern products.

While these acids do what they claim, that does not mean they are without their drawbacks. Sun sensitivity and irritation are the worst and most common side effects. So while they do reverse the effects of sun damage to the skin, at the same time they make the skin more susceptible to further damage from the sun. Unfortunately a sunscreen mixed with hydroxy acids is not very effective at the ph levels required for the hydroxy acids to be effective. You have to give the acids a little time to soak in and then apply a sunscreen.

Consumers are restricted to solutions of 10% or less. Trained cosmetologists are allowed to use solutions of 20% to 30% and physicians can handle 50% to 70%. Remember that as the concentration goes up so does the intensity of the side effects. While a doctors treatment may last much longer than your home treatment, it could take a full month to recover from the treatment.

The big difference between alpha-hydroxy and beta-hyroxy acids is that beta-hydroxy acid is oil soluble while alpha-hydroxy acids are water soluble only. This makes the beta-hydroxy acids the preferred solution to treating problems with oily skin such as acne, whiteheads, and blackheads. Beta-hydroxy acids also are less irritating since they are derived from aspirin and retain the anti-inflammatory properties of aspirin.

Be wary when buying products proclaiming alpha- hydroxy as part of their makeup. They work best with concentrations of 5% to 8% and a ph of 3 to 4. This information is rarely, if ever placed on the labels. Obscure manufacturers have nothing to lose by playing loosely with these figures, while the better known producers have a reputation to protect. But the bottom line controls everybody's actions.

A few pearls of wisdom:

Amongst all the people who suffer from psoriasis, almost fifty percent of them suffer from scalp psoriasis. It's often observed that scalp psoriasis is very mild in nature and causes flakiness of the scalp. In severe cases, it can also be thick, crusted with plaques covering the entire scalp. Besides the scalp, Psoriasis can go beyond a person's hairline onto his/her forehead, rear portion of the neck and around the ears. There are other skin disorders that are similar to Psoriasis, such as seborrheic dermatitis. However, when a person suffers from scalp psoriasis, his scalp appears to be powdery and carries a silvery shine along with it. On the other hand, seborrheic dermatitis is yellowish and greasy.

How to Treat Scalp Psoriasis Naturally?

Amongst all the options available in the market, the best option to cure Scalp Psoriasis would be to take necessary measures at home, without using harmful chemicals or prescription medications. Below mentioned are some of the natural remedies that can be tried in order to treat Scalp Psoriasis.

The first thing that you can do is create a pre-wash solution by combining 2 ounces of aloe-vera gel with 3-5 drops of lavender essential oil. Since Lavender and aloe-vera are well known as soothing agents, you should be expedite the healing process. You can mix the solution and apply it to your scalp. You can wash your scalp after a period of 15-30 minutes.

You can now create a scalp psoriasis rub by taking one tablespoon dried calendula flowers in a container that is heat proof and pouring a cup of boiling water on it. Once you have left the flowers in the water for about 10-15 minutes, your scalp psoriasis treatment rub should now be ready.

While bathing, you can use this calendula tea to wash your scalp. For best results, its recommended that you message your scalp gently and allow this tea to remain for a minimum of 5 minutes or more. Calendula is not only helpful for reducing inflammation, it also helps in speeding the healing process. After 5 minutes, you can use a baby shampoo to rinse thoroughly.

Now create a scalp psoriasis rinse by mixing 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with one cup of apple cider vinegar. This solution can be used to rinse your hair after you have shampooed your hair with mild baby shampoo in the last step. Finally rinse you hair with warm water.

Natural health magazines abound, often giving you conflicting advice. Who should you believe?

I believe any good natural health magazine, like any good magazine, shouldn't so much give you advice, rather they should give unbiased important pros and cons and leave you to work out the best solution for you.

After all you are unique. What is helpful to the magazine editor may be harmful to you. Only you can decide.

Being unbiased is hugely important. We're all reading in the news how doctors have been paid to create unsubstantiated 'scientific' papers supporting some drug or other.

Natural health magazine editors are people too. Some good, some bad, some indifferent. If the editor only advocates items they receive a royalty form, they aren't unbiased.

Sure, we all need to make our daily crust, but it's best to be open about what we profit from.

A good natural health magazine should look at all aspects of health, not just focus on physical ailments. For example, diet is critical to good health.

I recently read of six people, all suffering with type 2 diabetes, on insulin and all obese. Within one week of a change of diet, most were off their insulin. Within one month, they all were.

Isn't that awesome?

I find it extraordinary that doctors receive no nutritional training whatsoever.

Yet I doubt there is a natural health therapist who doesn't understand the importance of diet.

Natural health covers every aspect of who you are. You aren't just your body. You aren't just your mind. You are a unique and complex unit. Your feelings and emotions are as important (actually more so) as your thoughts and creations.

So any natural health magazine worth its salt will cover aspects of your emotional health, as well as your physical health. When you ignore your emotional health, sooner or later you'll suffer physical ill health.

Everyone knows that stress causes anxiety and that anxiety causes higher blood pressure and faster heart rate. While that's fine for a short period, if you continually have these 'anxiety attacks', your physical health will deteriorate.

But you don't have to resort to drugs. There are many effective, natural alternatives. And homeopathy can actually get to the cause of why you are suffering these attacks in the first place.

And fix it.

And lastly, your magazine should have a readers question area. Whilst the answer may not be specifically helpful for your ailment, they should be able to point you in the right direction. They should know what areas each natural health modality excels in and which has limited ability.

For example, you wouldn't go to a masseuse if you had incontinence. And you probably wouldn't go to a chiropractor if you had a torn ligament. It's doubtful you'd see an acupuncturist if you had been abused as a child.

Yet all these health issues can be resolved using homeopathy.

I'm a little confused by your question. Is your friend being pursued by an attorney or a debt collector posing as an attorney. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prevents a debt collector from posing as law enforcement or attorneys. If this is the case, you can file a complaint and have the debt dismissed.

However, if this is in fact legit, your friends does not have to disclose these accounts. Your friend may have power of attorney, but these accounts are not hers. They are somebody else's. She has just been given authority to manage them by the holder.

Well, by now you most likely have heard that good design, proper key word density, intuitive navigation, correct Meta tags, quality incoming links and informative content are all important to achieving top search engine placement. This is especially true when it comes to law firm sites. Legal search engine standings are one of the top competitive classifications for search engine standing optimization efforts.

For this article, I'll assume that your legal website already excels in the areas just mentioned and your site has decent standing for your desired legal keyword phrases. But, as you are keenly aware, the Internet can generate quality clients at a far more cost effective basis compared to any other medium. So, moving your legal website to the next level should be a very wise decision.

Below I have noted some highly effective ideas to improve your search engine standings:

1. Get another legal website!

Yes, for about $53 per month for the first year, and appx. $11 per month starting in the second year, you can have a second website. Your cost the first year would be approximately $500 for the legal website creation, $10 for a new domain name registration for one year and $10 per month for good quality website hosting. The cost drops in the second year because the site creation fee drops off.

This second site should not duplicate any of your existing site's appearance or content. Failure to abide by this could cause your site to be dropped from major search engines. Your sites should be about your firm but each emphasizing a different practice area. Plus, both your sites should be hyperlinked together.

2. Select a URL

Your new website needs a web address. Select a URL for your new legal website that incorporates some of your keywords. Which site do you think would generate more search engine hits: www.sandiegolawyerforyou.com or www.smith-smithandklein.com?

Even if you have great name recognition in your local neighborhood, a potential client seeking a San Diego attorney will most definitely find the first site before the second. Result: Incorporating key words into your URL will increase your chances of being found in a key word search.

3. Purchase website creation software.

As web site owner, you or your assistant should know how to up-date your site by adding current content, or minor changes. Updating should be done often to keep your site relevant. With many free and low cost web site programs available, knowledge of HTML is not necessary. Personally, I would recommend Microsoft's FrontPage as the best choice for website creation software.

4. Read a book on Search engine optimization.

Knowledge is power. Website designers are good at their website creation efforts, but usually lousy at any optimization efforts. In many cases, if they try optimization at all, they are using techniques that are way dated and in many cases could and have caused sites to actually rank well below their true potential or be desisted because of what is perceived as search engine mutilation.

Become the master of your domain not a slave to it! Read a Search engine optimization book today!

Car colors go in and out of favor over the years. While you can always find a white or a black car, the colors in between are sometimes hard to find. Right now, it seems like green is not in style, but give it a few years and it'll be back again.

My last green car was an '86 Dodge Dakota pickup.

Color is a major player in the design world and rightly so because of the effects it has on the entire room and decorating project.  But deciding on the right color scheme is sometimes where most people get stuck.

Selecting a color scheme can certainly be a real challenge even to design professionals.  Which means total frustration to most of us beginners.  But wait, don't fret just yet...  you are about to learn more about color schemes that will help you think like the pro's.

Understanding color and how it affects your moods and feelings is the key to unlocking the mystery of color.  Did you know that color can excite you, make you feel happy, comfortable, relaxed, anxious and even sad? 

Color can also make small spaces appear larger and large spaces appear smaller.  Color can make or break your entire design project.  Color can even make or break a sale.  Yes, color is an extremely powerful tool in the design world and in your personal world as well.

Let's start with the basic color wheel.  It was designed to teach us the relationships of color.  You've heard of Designers talk of color schemes and their relationships.  The color wheel helps us with this.

On the color wheel you'll see primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) evenly spaced between secondary colors (orange, green and violet).  Then there's the third or tertiary colors, which mixes the adjacent or analogous colors and lastly the fourth or quaternary colors.

The most basic color rule is that colors are either warm or cool.  Warm colors advance or pop out while cool colors tend to recede or move away.  Are you drawn to warm colors like reds and yellows?  Or cool colors like blues and greens? 

Warm colors are inviting, comfortable, relaxing and intimate.  Cool colors are refreshing, more reserved, relieves and calms. 

If you draw a line down the middle of the color wheel, warm and cool colors will be on opposite sides of each other.  Every warm color has a cool compliment.

So how do you decide on your color choice?  Once you've narrowed down your selection (and I would add at this point to narrow down your selection to three choices), take the paint chips or samples home. 

Most paint companies now have larger paint chips so that you can experience your color samples effectively.  I take it a step further by purchasing my top three paint colors in the pint size (not gallon size) cans and painting each color on a poster board.  (The paint chips are just not large enough for me.)  I then tape these poster boards on my wall in the room to be painted.  I live with these three colors for a few days... experiencing daylight and nightlight. 

You see lighting has a major effect on color.  Both daylight and nightlight will change the look of your color, guaranteed.  So live with your color choices on these poster boards for a few days and then you will know for sure which is the best color for your color scheme.

Some people ask me if it's ok to paint accent walls, or to have one or two colors in the same room.  I say absolutely.  Color scheming is not just about choosing colors that you like, but choosing likable, livable colors that produce dramatic effects.

That's what accent walls do.  Choose a color that pops, add excitement and works well with the other colors in the room.  You can also switch accent colors from room to room.

There's really no set rule but you do have to choose livable colors that relate well with the color schemes already around you.  Some colors just don't work well together, and that's what you want to avoid.

That is why paint manufacturers arrange colors sympathetically- in close relationships that enhance each other- in their paint decks (books of paint chips you can purchase from the store).  By fanning the paint deck out, you can choose related colors more easily.

Now if you don't like the idea of multiple related color schemes in your home, you can choose to use a whole-house color scheme by sticking to one color.  This one-color continuity scheme can make a small room seem larger and give a sense of harmony and serenity.

One-color schemes called Monochromatic come in two varieties - you can use a single color, or tonal variations of one color.  Monochromatic color schemes are considered very chic and quite contemporary in fashion.

Most commonly used monochromatic schemes are white and beige but beware – white and beige tend to highlight any flaws.  You want to make sure all your whites and beiges are either cool or warm and inject patterns and textures for added interest.

Here are some tips to remember:

To make a room look larger- use light, cool colors. 

To make a room cozier and inviting, use warm colors.

To make a ceiling look higher, use white or light colors.

To drop the ceiling and make lower, use darker colors.

Some say the best all-time rule to follow is this:

Your primary areas – floors, walls, and ceilings – should receive neutralized colors in a range of values.  Make the floor the darkest surface, the walls medium, and the ceiling the lightest value.

Your color schemes start with your choice of fabric, upholstery, and furniture selections.  All should relate with each other.  Of course other components to consider within the space are the window treatments, rugs, carpet, tile, and accessories like lamps, pillows, vases and so forth.

Don't let all this scare you.  Start with the furniture showcases to see what really lights you up.  Take notes, bring your magazine tear-outs.  It will be clear to you soon enough what you like and dislike.  Your color scheme will begin to emerge just like you will, into a beautiful room that says this is YOU.

Review: Physicians Formula Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer

Natural or organic makeup is better for you. It keeps your skin healthier and looking and feeling much better.

The health of domestic cats is on the decline. Their life span is much below that of their wild cousins and the cats of your parents era. I frequently hear people implying their cat is old by the time they have reached eight or nine years of age.

Not that long ago, it was common for cats to reach 18 or 19 years of age, with a few rare exceptions reaching nearly 30.

You may have your own reasons why this might be happening, and I'm probably going to voice most of them here!

By virtue of the regularity of eating, I consider the most important reason why cats aren't as healthy as they once were is the diet they are fed.

As people are coming into this awareness, there is a mad scramble by the commercial cat food industry to attract you with pretty words and smiling actors on the labels. The pretty words include icons such as 'scientifically proven' or 'recommended by top vets', although that is now less alluring than 'natural' or 'all natural'. (I'm not sure what a 'top vet' is either. Could it be one who does the most advertising for the industry?)

However, 'nature', 'natural' and 'all natural' are slipping into second place as 'organic' becomes the favourite word of the day.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a strong contender for organic food, both for humans and for cats, but not all organic cat food really is organic.

For a start, the word 'organic' means nothing if it is not backed by a reputable certification. Everything that grows could be said to be organic. Many conventional producers have marked their produce as organic, when it had no certification.

Becoming a certified organic producer takes time - years. The soil is regularly checked. In that period, the producer can't sell his produce as organic or use chemicals. It can be a tough time.

I have seen some dried organic cat food for sale. It was certified. But what's the point in that? You're feeding your cat organic cat food to avoid the chemicals that go into food production - the antibiotics in standard stock feed, the hormones given to stock to increase weight and production over a shorter period, the pesticides, herbicides, insecticides that are regularly used on the crops, the chemical fertilisers.

Stop and consider this. Can meat (in reality meat by-products as the good stuff goes for the higher priced human food) be kept indefinitely without the use of strong preservatives? How else can a packet of dried organic cat food have such a long shelf life?

Sure, the packet may not list preservatives in the list of ingredients. Why would they? You wouldn't buy it.

The packet may even boast 'no added preservative'. The wording needs to be clever to avoid litigation. 'No added preservatives' means they, the brand, didn't add the preservatives. It doesn't mean that preservatives weren't added to the 'meat' before delivery.

So the million dollar question is, should you buy organic cat food? In my opinion, if it's a commercial organic cat food, it is no better than non organic cat food.

All commercial cat food, whether organic or not, have one or more of the following preservatives in:

Most of these are not allowed in human food, due to their high levels of toxicity. Do you think that could be why cats are not living as long as they once were Would you?

Diet is critical to your good health. It's no less true for animals. The diet of pets is normally far worse than the diet of even the most slack human, as there are few, if any, safeguards. For more information, please go to http://www.healthiestcatfood.blogspot.com
