Knowing the symptom of food allergy is quite necessary since 8% of children and 2% of adults in the United States are estimated to be affected by some form of allergy to food.

Six Steps To Recognizing A Food Allergy Symptom
By Allen Matthews

Before we take the six steps in recognizing a food allergy symptom, I should first point out that what you may believe to be a food allergy, may in fact simply be an intolerance to a food item.

It is often easy to confuse an intolerance to food with an allergy, so many people wrongly diagnose themselves with a food allergy, when their reaction is quite mild to a particular food stuff. (more…)

Before I didn’t like Green Tea at all. But these days, since it’s known as a health booster, I kinda got addicted to it.

Sometimes I just stop by at Starbucks for the green tea frappucino or the green tea lemonade. Or I simply skipped to the pantry to get a cup of green tea mixed with something I like during the hectic afternoon for a green tea time.

They said that if brewed more than two minutes, it’ll get bitter. So far, my green tea always tastes good. So, does it mean that I never brew it too long? Or, it’s just me being so addicted to the healthful tea that it tastes good anyway?

Whichever, I feel good about my self for getting something healthful to replace my old addiction to caffeine. Yes, I was once a caffeine addict. But a few years back, I managed to reduce it. And, now, I’m addicted to something healthy and something I don’t have to feel guilty of. Isn’t it great?

Well, some are not so fond of green tea like Girlsgonechild. But she still drinks it everyday anyway.

Some even adore it and make it into an ice cream. Yum! Get the recipe for green tea ice cream here. Too bad, I’ll be totally busy this weekend to try it. Yet, in between my activities, I’ll try to look for a ready-to-eat one.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Peach, originated in China, is known to have the ability to bestow immortality, as mentioned in the Chinese legend.

Well, it could be right in term of its ability to provide potassium for those who consume it. Per 100 grams of peach edible portion, you can get 197 mg of potassium.

Why would you need potassium? Along with sodium, it regulates the water balance and the acid-base balance in the blood and tissues. Increased potassium may increase the amount of sodium excreted from the body. So, by increasing potassium in the diet you can protect against hypertension, especially if you’re sensitive to high levels of sodium.

Anna made a delicious Peach Pie of which recipe she posted in her blog. She really recommends it.

The term PMS stands for Premenstrual Syndrome, a familiar acronym used to describe a cyclical challenge with a confusing array of physical, emotional or behavioral responses experienced by an amazingly large number of women every month in the days and even weeks before their menstrual periods begin.

But, the thing about PMS that women are mostly having problem is FOOD CRAVING which leads to gaining weight.

Actually there are ways to help you control this big desire to eat:

• satisfy the salt urge with one intensely salty — and low-calorie — pickle instead of with a high-calorie bag of chips
• get a small, rich candy bar or small portion of dark chocolate or sweet fruits for your need of sugary snacks
• try eating up to six small meals a day instead of three larger ones

Have a nice try!
