Creating and maintaining a healthy relationship

  "What are the secrets to creating and maintaining a healthy relationship? The quality of information you use to make your choices about love and relationships, determines the quality of relationship you will find yourself in. Unfortunately, we live in an era with tons of misguided and twisted ideas about love and relationships. To protect yourself from unwanted heartaches and emotional devastation, you need some guidelines and tips to help you avoid the most common relationship pitfalls. You can control the quality of your relationship by knowing what to look for in a person, before you decide to make them part of your life."

  
  This goes back to my post about the Hidden Evils of Dating, where I talked how "it's a good idea to really take the time to get to know someone before you enter into a relationship with them and give them your heart." Someone responded asking, "how well can you ever really know someone? And perhaps more importantly, how well can anyone ever really know me?" 
  That's actually a very good question. I responded saying "someone can really only get to know you as much as you let them. As far as getting to know someone else, if they aren't letting you in or letting you know them, then you shouldn't be with them. And for me, when I'm getting to know someone, I get to know their friends and family too. Cause most likely they will be like the ones they spend most of their time with. It's easy to know someone, you just have to pay attention." You have to pay close attention. 
  
  So, what are your secrets to creating and maintaining a healthy relationship ??
   

There are 3 steps to happiness....

YOU

OUR HEARTS TO ETERNITY.....

benefits of green tea

 

     Green Tea and Weight Loss

If you drink green tea you can-

• Lower cholesterol 
• Increase Thermogenesis (the body's rate of burning calories)
• Enhance fat oxidation

Japanese green tea burns fat naturally.
Green tea contains high concentrations of catechin polyphenols. These compounds work with other chemicals to intensify levels of fat oxidation and thermogenesis, where heat is created in the body by burning fuels such as fat. Drinking Japanese green tea regularly will increase your metabolism and help burn fat safely and naturally. 
Which green tea is best for weight loss? Our recommendations.

Green tea can lower cholesterol and increase energy expenditure.
Green tea also causes carbohydrates to be released slowly, preventing sharp increases in blood-insulin levels. This promotes the burning of fat.
 

Drinking Green Tea Can Limit Weight Gain.

  Weight is gained as excess sugars and fats are stored in the body as fat cells. Green tea catechins can help prevent obesity by inhibiting the movement of glucose in fat cells. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has been found to be especially effective. There is now good evidence that green tea catechins are related to reductions in body fat.

Green tea suppresses aging

Oxygen is necessary for human life. But oxygen has two aspects, one beneficial and one malign. The oxygen we breathe is conveyed to every part of the body where it plays a key role in metabolism. But it can also be a very harmful agent in the form of active or free radical oxygen. Active oxygen is a problem because it can combine with anything in the body and oxidize it with consequentdestruction of cell membranes, damageto DNA and oxidation of lipids (fats). All of these can lead to diseases like cancer. Here we shall focus on the process by which active oxygen combines with lipids (fats) in the body to create lipid peroxide, that is, lipid with an excessive amount of oxygen. Lipid peroxide is thought to be a harmful substance which can trigger the diseases such as cancer, cardio-vascular disease and diabetes. Since lipid peroxide is more easily generated and less easily purged as age advances, it tends to accumulate in the body. Lipofuscin, called the *aging pigment,, also accumulates in the body in proportion to age and is considered to be an index of aging. But lipofuscin is itself created by lipid peroxide, which suggests a connection between aging and lipid peroxide. One way to slow aging may, therefore, be to prevent the production and accumulation of active oxygen and lipid peroxide in the body. It has been shown, for example, that the higher the concentration of the powerful antioxidants vitamins E and C in the bodies of animals, the longer they live. This suggests that active consumption of agents that are effective antioxidants will restrain the aging process.
We already know that green tea is rich in those vitamins that possess this antioxidizing capability. In addition, Prof. Okuda(#12) has recently demonstrated that catechin in green tea is a far stronger antioxidant than vitamin E (about 20 times stronger in fact). These results come from laboratory tests only, and we must wait for further research to confirm a direct cause and effect relationship between the antioxidizing function of green tea and the retardation of aging. But the very fact that green tea contains a powerful antioxidant is a strong foundation for believing it can help control aging.

Green tea fights virus

 Dr. Okada(#17) has noted the fact that tobacco growers use an exudat of green tea to prevent crop damage by the tobacco mosaic virus an verified that green tea catechin suppresses the growth of this virus. I addition, Prof. Shimamura(#18) has determined that green tea catechin and theaflavin (an oxidized form of catechin) present in black tea have a stron effect on the influenza virus. Green tea catechin and black tea theaflavi directly act on the influenza virus and inactivate it. It appears, therefore, that gargling with green or black tea is very effective in preventing influenza. This effect is increased by keeping the green tea catechin and the virus in contact as long as possible.
It is also hoped that the antiviral capability of green tea catechin may have some beneficial effect on the AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) virus, which is now the world's most feared infectious disease. Dr. Nakane and Dr. Ono(#19) at the Aichi Cancer Institute have verified the fact that green tea catechin can inhibit the activity of the AIDS virus in laboratory test. Although this research is just in its nascent stage, it provides a slight ray of hope that a treatment may someday be found to combat the now unstoppable AIDS virus. Future research advances in this field are expected. 

       Green tea deters food poisoning   
Green tea deters food poisoning It has long been known from experience that green tea has the ability to kill bacteria. Consumption of strong green tea, for example, is often recommended as a good treatment for diarrhea.
Dr. Hara(#13) has shown in his research that catechin is a powerful sterilizing agent for many types of bacteria that cause food poisoning. He checked the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC, ppm) of green tea catechin necessary to stop the growth of various types of food poisoning bacteria

        Green tea restricts the increase of blood cholesterol

        Green tea prevents cancer
that green tea and its component catechin have the ability to prevent cancer. When taken together with the survey that indicates a striking reduction in the cancer death rate in the tea producing regions where the residents are accustomed to drinking quite strong tea by frequent changes of tea leaves, they support the conclusion that green tea may also be a factor in the prevention of human cancer. 

I just like and enjoy drinking green tea. Moreover, it benefit us! Start drinking and stay healthy :)
I'm a Green Tea Freak. I can treat green tea like drinking water. LoL.
