The mushroom hunters

The hunt is now on. But not for foxes or wild boar. Instead, mushroom hunters across Spain will be scouring the woods to find the best fungi. Graham Keeley gives a personal account of the popular Spanish obsession with mushrooms.

Collecting mushrooms in the woods in the north of Spain is a very autumnal thing.

Mushrooms are naturally good for us because they contain vitamin B1, phosphorus, potassium and selenium. These are all good for the nervous system. So remember this after a back-breaking morning scouring the woods – those elusive mushrooms will do your frazzled nerves some good.

They also have hardly any fat, so if you suffer from heart disease or are over-weight they are ideal.

Knowing how to cook them is another thing all together. In simple terms,
they are perfect for a good stew, a risotto or with scrambled eggs. Ideally, grill them with a drop of olive oil and garlic.

The Simplest Way to Start Weight Loss

By Craig Ballantyne

In a world where there is an overwhelming amount of fat-loss information available, it is still the little things that can mean a lot to a beginner.

Australian researchers confirmed what almost everyone has known all along: To lose weight, you must get moving (keeping in mind that "getting moving" doesn’t require you to run marathons). By monitoring a group of sedentary individuals, they found that when those folks simply added 2,000 steps to the number of steps they normally took each day (about 2,000), they could lose just over an inch from their waistlines.

At the rate of one to two steps per second, that extra 2,000 steps will take you only 17 to 34 minutes of walking per day. If you’re relatively inactive, that will make a big difference. But take it easy. If you try to do too much too fast or are very overweight, even walking can lead to overuse injuries.

In case you hadn’t noticed, healthcare is one enormous economic sector. In the United States, spending on healthcare in 2005 was calculated at $2 trillion, which is 16% of GDP. Other countries aren’t off the hook either: across the globe, healthcare spending is exceeding the rate of economic growth. So, it stands to reason that web entrepreneurs and even large corporations are increasing their offerings to meet such a voracious demand.

Best Food to lower Cholesterol

Good reading to remind us that we should understand the side effects of all kinds of food.
Best Food That is Part of the Diet to Lower Cholesterol

People have to eat in order to have energy to do certain things. Some are able to make three or four trips to the buffet table while others are satisfied after one round. In any case, the type of food brought to the plate could be healthy or harmful and the choice is really up to the person.

The high levels of cholesterol in the body are happening more often now than ever before. This is because of the variety of food offered now in the grocery and in restaurants. The person can still recover from this by eating foods that are not high in saturated fats.

Is there one food product that can be called the best to lower cholesterol? The answer is no because a well balanced diet must come from all the food groups.

Instead of drinking full cream milk or mixing this with cornflakes or whole grain, it is best to use non fat milk instead. The taste is almost the same is much healthier than the regular brand bought in the supermarket.
