Vegetarian Means Vegan, Right?

Actually vegetarians tend to differ from what Vegans consider themselves to be. The exact reasons for why, evade me at the moment.

I eat plenty of vegetables but also enjoy eggs so I think this means I may be a vegetarian but I am not a vegan because eggs are not on their menu. I need to watch my calories and weight.

Veganism, if I may, seems to be more like a religion than just a healthy eating regime. I think the term is applied to not only eggs but even to wearing things that may have once been alive, like leather.

I have no feelings on this one way or another and think our life choices are just that, our life choices.

The Crucial Building Blocks Of Diet

By Irene P Price

Nourishment can be quite puzzling. There are the vitamins and antioxidants, the minerals and the fiber, the complex carbohydrates and the sugar but how do they all fit concurrently?

Well to start with our bodies have need of particular amounts of macronutrients to live. There are a a minority of individuals who focus on one macronutrient over another and they eat more of one and less of the others but in general we all need some of these macronutrients and a healthful diet consists of a good balance of the three macronutrients.

Protein, fat and carbohydrates are the macronutrients. Fat is the most dense of the three and it provides 9 calories per gram. Protein and carbohydrates both provide 4 calories per gram. A calorie is a measurement of the energy content of food and it is mainly the amount of heat energy requisite to bring up the temperature of 1g of water 1 degree Celsius.

Due to this incongruity of 5 additional calories per gram, it was supposed for a few years that the fat in our diet was the main cause of the fat on our bodies. It has since been demonstrated that this all too simple account is not quite accurate. The fat on our bodies is caused by a number of diverse factors including the eating too many calories in total be they from fat, protein or carbohydrates.

Protein is basic as it is the building block of all of the tissues in our bodies and it is crucial to all of the processes within our cells. Protein is found in eggs, dairy products, meats and fish but there are also some excellent plant sources of protein including beans, legumes and especially soybeans.

Carbohydrates are the key energy source of our bodies. A simplistic clarification of carbohydrates is that they convert to sugar in our bodies, which in turn provides the energy that we need. Carbohydrates can be further broken down into simple carbohydrates, which include sugar, candy, white flour and more and complex carbohydrates, which include whole grains and vegetables. Simple carbohydrates break down in our bodies at a very quick level, causing energy swings and increased hunger while complex carbohydrates break down slowly which gives us constant longer-term energy.

Fat was long misaligned as being bad for our health but that is not wholly factual. The saturated fats and trans fats are destructive to our bodies but there are also essential fats that we need to uphold good health. Those would include the monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats such as olive oil, peanut oil and canola oil and the fats found in nuts and seeds, avocados, olives and the acai berry. The bad fats are the saturated fats such as the fat found in animal products and the "fake" fats or trans fats that are produced by hydrogenation.

Macronutrients are the main construction blocks of all nutrition and the micronutrients, such as the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber are all found within the macronutrients.

A Worldwide Assortment of Coffees

By Marc Warren

There is a wide assortment of coffee and coffee beans around the world. The pleasure is in trying to sample all of them.

The Colombian is, rightly so, world-renowned. The La Esperanza from Tolima, for example, is grown at almost 6,000 feet and the effect shows. High-toned with a delicate aroma and cherry-like it has hints of milk chocolate and pipe tobacco. Who knew such a mixture could actually taste wonderful?

The Supremo is also a well known Colombian gem. Piping hot it is rich with flavor of vanilla and chocolate. This sweet delight is undeniable.

From smooth to strong we move to Kona grown in Hawaii. You have your choice of dark or medium roast with the medium having a bit more of a sharp flavor. If you want the best of Kona you want an espresso, rich and strong and full of flavor.

For those who like the sharp taste in their coffee, the Tanzanian Peaberry found on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa may be the choice for you. This is a very unique bean, not only because of its taste but also its appearance. It is a single oval more acidic than some beans which lends to its sharp flavor. Those who come to climb the famous M. Kilimanjaro can enjoy not only her sights but also her produce.

Another stop in Africa where you will find the finest blends of coffee- the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia. This coffee is often made with a bit of citrus and ginger, the perfect combination for a sweet and tangy treat.

The Jumboors and the Monsoon Malabar are two types of beans found in India. The latter delivers you the sweet flavor of apricot while the former has a raisin flavor as its sweetener. The environment of these beans gives them their uniqueness that must be sampled to be appreciated.

Continuing east to Indonesia we find ourselves in Sumatra, long known for the product from the Lake Toba region. A light roast, the cup is sweet and flowery. The original jasmine-like coffee flower has been retained to produce an astringent cup with cherry overtones.

Before leaving Indonesia satisfy your spicy craving. Head north to the territory where they add a touch of cedar and a bit of citrus to their coffee to make it something divine.

Robusta from Lampung, Vietnam adds to the variety. The method used to prepare these beans gives each cup a strong bite and rivals the sharp flavor of the Arabica blends.

Five Tips To Make Your Birthday Cake Remarkable

By Chris Lee

The focal point of any birthday party is normally the cake. There are things to keep in mind for planning the perfect birthday cake. There are many ways that you can accomplish this. If you are planning to buy your cake from a bakery, then be specific about what you want. Most cake decorators or delis will allow you to be as specific as needed to ensure that you get the cake that you want.

You should take into consideration who the cake is for. For instance, if you are buying a birthday cake for your grown son, then you do not want a little cowboy or tiny little racecars on it. The most remarkable birthday cakes are those that are suited to the birthday boy or girl's personality. This is also true if the cake is for you. Have a cake designed that will suit your own style and personality.

If you are a cake decorator, then you should keep a few things in mind as well. Be sure that you take the size of the cake into consideration. If you are creating the cake yourself, you will need to ensure that the size is right. You want to have a size large enough to feed guests, but small enough that it will not cave or fall if you are making a tiered cake. Be sure that the structure is perfect for the type of cake that you are making.

Be sure that you are following a specific theme when you are baking your own birthday cake. Look online and in party magazines if you are not sure of the theme that you want. Be certain that the theme is in keeping with the personality of the birthday boy or girl. Be sure also to match the theme of your cake to the party's theme. For instance, you certainly do not want a party with a Cinderella theme and a cake with the Transformers. In order to have a remarkable birthday cake, you should ensure that it follows the theme of your party.

Finally, choosing the perfect birthday cake for that special occasion only seems like and impossible task. No matter what your theme, you can find an amazing birthday cake that will be the hit of any party. Remember, the birthday cake is the most important aspect of many birthday parties, so choose wisely.
