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.

Weight Loss - step by step

Very simple explanation of how to lose weight.

Step by step - set up a plan of so many steps each day and increase it every day by one step.

clipped from www.earlytorise.com 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.
