Benefits of Beer

Very few beverages have the worldwide popularity of beer. Most countries have their own unique beer and actively import those of other countries. The familiar crack of the cold can, the glowing amber colour when poured and the aroma, entice us to taste that bitter, woody flavour that so many of enjoy.
Different countries have different ideas about beer – some are even served hot – but most agree that the best beer is a fresh beer before its aromatic properties are destroyed or its carbon dioxide lost. Beer connoisseurs worldwide are as numerous as wine drinkers and like the later, there are beer snobs too! There are even beer schools for those us who wish to learn the art of tasting, pouring, pairing beers and even cooking with beer!
Like wine, beer consumed in moderation is also recognized for having positive effects on the human cardiovascular system by helping to prevent the clogging of arteries. Research also shows that it can increase the levels of good cholesterol, HDL.

Did you know that beer also contains as much as six times more potassium than salt? Complement beer with salty foods, therefore, helps to balance out the bodies potassium ions.
Beer generally has the lowest percentage of alcohol of all alcoholic beverages. The impairing effect of beer can be further mitigated by eating oily foods between sips because the oil actually acts as a coating for the stomach and slows the absorption of the alcohol into the bloodstream.
Anything else? Oh yeah…the yeast contained in beer has further benefits on the human body, such as a variety of vitamin B and trace amounts of Chromium, known for its ability to reduce the production of fat cells.
Whether you are a redneck or a blueblood, there’s a beer out there for you, so enjoy it and share it!

Winter Fatigue

It's easy to feel fatigued and loss of energy in the winter months when sun light hours are shorter. To take advantage of the early morning sunlight, lift your bedroom shades the minute you get up. Better yet go out for a 30 minute walk. The sunlight and exercise will give you a boost all day long. To help keep your energy up go outside every chance you get all day. To up your light at work and home; use natural light bulbs- try "Sylvania's Daylight Extra bulbs.” ( At retailers nationwide.) www.ott-lite.com, Or you might try a light-box that uses blue-light technology, for more info try; www.purenatural.com.

Eat plenty of protein to increase your mental alertness and energy. Protein contains tyrosine, an amino acid that elevates the brain chemical dopamine. It also makes your stomach feel fuller so you won't be as apt to want to eat breads and sweets. Have an egg or high protein cereal for breakfast and a few nuts for your morning snack. A cup of yogurt is good for an afternoon snack to carry you over until dinner.

Do something for somebody to give yourself a lift. Buy a sandwich for a homeless person you pass on the street. Baby sit for a neighbor. Visit a lonely person who would enjoy a chat. Volunteer to help someone in need. To find something that suits you go to; www.idealist.org

Brew a white tea. White tea goes through the least processing and requires little sweetening. White tea has the highest concentration of L-theanine, an amino acid that, according to a recent study, stimulates alpha brain waves to boost alertness while producing a calming effect. And a cup of white tea contains less caffeine than other teas. It is also more hydrating.

Take a break from your TV, computer and other technology. You get an adrenaline zap every time you phone rings or an email comes in. Pick up a good book to read or lie down for a nap. Meditate and rest quietly.

Focus on anything that you like, beautiful flowers, the ocean, or mountains. You need some time to tune in and reconnect with yourself. For the best health of all your family try to see that they also have quiet times to meditate and retune.

Do your workouts to maximize your oxygen intake. Lift weights, roll on the exercise ball, climb stairs, and jog. Breathe hard more often. Take a breathing break to breath out all the old air in your lungs and take in fresh oxygen. Inhale from your belly; then breath out slowly, imagine you are pulling your navel toward your spine.

Try self acupressure. Rub the muscle between your thumb and your fore finger from three to five minutes. You should feel a little ache then an overall since of relief and a feeling of peace.

We all get those winter blahs but there are things we can do to feel better. Besides the things I have named above, I love going to the park when the sun is shining and just soaking it in. Also when I go out in the car and return home, I sometimes just sit in the car with a good book that I always keep in the dash. It feels so good sitting in the warm car with the sun shining in to warm me.

Another thing I enjoy is sneaking out on the deck with a quilt and burrowing down warm and cozy in my swing. I know, I know, sometimes we don't have time to waste. Clothes are waiting to be washed, supper is waiting to be cooked, and dogs are waiting to be walked. But we need to get in the habit of taking those few minutes to rejuvenate ourselves so we can feel like normal human beings and not slaves to routine which can swallow us alive if we let it. Okay enough preaching. I will let all you busy people get on with your live. I wish you many sunny days with good books to read, interesting trails to walk, and warm quilts to snuggle in.
