What should be avoided in order to smooth skin

Health food nutrition - Food intake affects the health and appearance of the skin to keep it looking beautiful. In one of the articles Kompas.com never mentioned about food ingredients that need to be consumed to make the skin stay healthy. Here are the foods (and drinks) that should be avoided if you want to maximize pretty healthy skin.

Salty snacks
Murad, renowned dermatologist, states that sodium intake can suck the moisture and makes skin dry. This is what causes eye bags, swollen eyes, and swollen. Avoid salty snacks to still look beautiful.

Alcohol
Just like sodium, alcohol makes the skin dry. Alcohol makes the top layer of blood vessels, which produce some form of inflammation of skin damage.

Fried foods
When heated to high temperatures, vegetable oils such as those used in most fast food restaurants could lead to 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal which is also called HNE. This can cause dead skin cells. Dead skin can cause dry skin, chapped, and dull.

Refined carbohydrates
This means candy, cakes, and other processed foods. Such foods full of sugar and white flour that makes the supply of androgens, hormones in the body's production of oil, rising. A study showed that low-sugar diet participants who do not have a lot of acne than those who consume more processed food. Worse, these carbohydrates can cause glycation, collagen and elastin that make it easier to absorb and damaged by free radicals.

Malnutrition Nutrition In Children

Health food nutrition - NUTRITION is a very important element in the body. With good nutrition, the body will be fresh and we can perform the activity properly. Nutrition must be fulfilled exactly since was a child, because in addition to essential nutrients for body growth, is also essential for brain development. To that end, parents need to understand better the child's nutritional needs so that children do not experience malnutrition. In addition, parents also need to know what and how it was malnourished.

Signs of malnutrition
According to Dr. Sri Kurniati MS, Doctor of Medical Nutrition Expert Child and Maternity Hospital Harapan Kita, malnutrition in children are divided into three.

The first, referred to as Protein Energy Malnutrition Light. At this stage, Sri explains that there are no specific signs that can be seen clearly. Only the child's weight reached only 80 percent of normal weight.

While the second, known as Protein Energy Malnutrition Moderate. At this stage, the child's weight reached only 70 percent of normal weight.

In addition, there are signs that can be seen clearly is the face becomes pale, and hair color changed a little red.

Third, known as Protein Energy Malnutrition Weight. This section is divided again into two, are very few, usually called Marasmus. Marasmus is a sign on the child's weight reached only 60 percent or less of normal weight. Apart from marasmus, another so-called Kwashiorkor. In kwashiorkor, in addition to weight, there are some other signs that can be directly visible. Among others are the feet have swollen, red hair and easily dismissed, and because vitamin A deficiency, a myopic eye, the cornea experiencing drought, and sometimes ulcers on the cornea, so that the eyes can burst. In addition to signs or symptoms, there are also other signs. Concomitant diseases such example is anemia or anemia, infection, diarrhea is often the case, crusty skin and broke and out of fluid, and cracked in the corner of his mouth.

Malnutrition Causes factor
Poor nutrition in children, can occur in children under five years of age (Bottom Five Years). "Guidelines to identify malnourished children is to look at weight and height are less than normal," said Sri. Sri add, if the child's height is not growing, or less than normal, it indicates that malnutrition in children has been prolonged. Sri explained, there are several factors that cause malnutrition in children. First, the distances between the ages of brothers and sisters who are too close to go influenced. Thus, the attention of the mother to the brother was taken in the presence of his sister, so the brothers tend to neglect and not considered food.

Therefore, the older brother eventually become malnourished. "Childhood is a passive consumer, can not take care of himself, especially o eat," said Sri. Second, children who started to walk are also susceptible to infection or infected by other diseases. In addition, the third is due to a less environmentally clean, so easy a sick child. Because these sickly, the child becomes malnourished.

Fourth, the lack of knowledge of parents, especially mothers about nutrition. "Poor nutrition is purely for the food," said Sri. According to Sri, her mother must be able to provide enough nutritional content of food. "Not necessarily expensive, can also be given food is cheap, good quality home," said Sri.

Hence the clever-clever mother had to choose foods for children.

Fifth, family socio-economic conditions are tough. This factor is quite a lot of influence, because if the child is rarely eat, then they will automatically malnutrition.

Sixth, in addition to food, child malnutrition could also be due to congenital disease that forced the child to be treated. Such as heart disease and congenital lung.

Veggie Might: Tofu Bánh Mì - Spicy Vietnamese Sandwiches

Penned by the effervescent Leigh, Veggie Might is a weekly Thursday column about the wide world of Vegetarianism.

Living in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of New York City, I’m surrounded by restaurants of nearly every nationality. I’m proudly well versed in Indian, Korean, Japanese, Ethiopian, Afghan, Thai, and all manner of Mediterranean delicacies. One cuisine, however, is conspicuously missing from my neighborhood United Nations: Vietnamese.

I’ve had many a phō when venturing beyond these borders; but I just recently had my first bánh mì, the outrageously spicy, Vietnamese baguette sandwich, piled high with pickled daikon and carrots, cilantro, and, your choice of protein, traditionally paté, pork, headcheese (blargh), or tofu. Guess which I one got?

Sandwiches are the perfect foodstuff—they’re like eating the whole food pyramid with your hands. And báhn mì, my new obsession, may be the ideal sandwich. It’s spicy, tangy, and rich, all on light and fluffy bread.

Ever since my first one at the Vietnamese sandwich shop in CB’s ‘hood, I’ve started seeing bánh mì everywhere, except Hell’s Kitchen. So—you know what’s coming—I’ve started making it myself.

Turns out, bánh mì is pretty easy to make at home, if a little time consuming, but totally worth the effort. Plus, these guys are the perfect party food if you want to impress the pants off your friends. (Believe me.)

A few ingredients distinguish bánh mì from other sandwiches: the bread, the daikon and carrot pickles, and cilantro. Everything else is about personal taste, though some would argue spiciness is a requirement.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED

Baguette
Andrea Nguyen of Viet World Kitchen says, “Light, crispy baguette (not the chewy, rustic kind) is essential for encasing without overshadowing the other ingredients.” No arguments here. She even provides a recipe if you want to go all the way with the DIY.

Veggies
As we’ve learned recently, some folks have a switch in their brain that flicks to “soap” when cilantro collides with their taste buds. That’s the saddest song I’ve ever heard, because cilantro, along with English cucumbers, provides fresh, cool counterpoint to hot peppers (I used jalapeños).

Sauces
Soy sauce, mayonnaise (or butter), and sriracha sauce are recommended condiments. Sriracha is the Vietnamese version of hot chili sauce. It will set your mouth on fire, so caveat diner.

Protein
Choose your own adventure. I made a killer baked tofu with this lemongrass marinade. Veg and nonveg party-goers gobbled it up, and I left with many new pairs of pants.

Daikon and Carrot Pickles (Do Chua)
These pickles are why we’re here. I could (and have) eat (eaten) these alone (in my room) with a fork. Daikon is a root vegetable from the radish family; it’s a bit strong of smell and flavor, particularly when crossed with vinegar, but so, so delicious. Combined with sweet carrots, you’ve got a mighty fine pickle. I used this recipe, with a couple of minor alterations.

With these components, you’re ready to add a new sandwich to your repertoire, wherever you live. So go: amaze your friends as you spread the bánh mì love far and wide.

Quick and Dirty Daikon and Carrot Pickles
Yields approximately 1 quart.
Adapted from Viet World Kitchen.

1 large carrot
2 medium daikon
1 tsp salt
2 tsp + 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup white vinegar
1 cup warm water

1) Wash and peel the vegetables. Cut into thick matchsticks and place in large bowl.

2) Add salt and 2 tsp of sugar. Knead with your hands until carrot and daikon for about 3 to 5 minutes. The salt will pull the water from the vegetables making them soft and pliable. When the daikon is bendy, you’re ready to brine.

3) Drain the water and rinse the veg.

4) Dissolve the 1/2 cup sugar in warm water and pour over the vegetables. Then add the vinegar. Stir well.

5) Decant in a glass jar or container and refrigerate until you are ready to serve, at least 2 hours or up to 1 month.

6) Cry, it’s so good…and strong…and a little bit smelly, but worth it.

Baked Tofu with Lemongrass Marinade
Yields approximately 4 servings.
Marinade adapted from Battle of the Báhn Mì.

16 oz firm tofu
3–4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp sesame oil
3 stalks lemongrass

1) Preheat the oven to 400

2) Press the tofu between two plates while you prepare your marinade. Place something heavy, like a cast iron skillet, on the top plate to squeeze out the excess water. This will give your tofu a chewy texture.

3) Peel off the hard outer layers of the lemongrass stalk. Chop coarsely. You only want to use the tender parts closer to the bulb.

Food Processor Method
4) In a food processor, combine garlic cloves, soy sauce, salt, sesame oil, and chunks of lemongrass. Zap for 1–2 minutes or until garlic and lemongrass are finely chopped.

Manual Method
4) Mince garlic and lemongrass. Combine garlic, lemongrass, soy sauce, salt, and sesame oil in a bowl.

Everybody Now
5) Drain water off tofu and slice into 1/8” thick pieces. Baste both sides of slices with marinade and allow to tofu slices soak in remaining marinade for 30 minutes or until absorbed, turning once.

6) Place tofu slices on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. If necessary, turn pan halfway through baking.

7) Allow to cool to room temperature before serving. Eat. Pray. LOVE TOFU.

Despite the snow that fell in Syracuse yesterday, spring is pretty much upon us. And along with the warming sun and astronomical pollen count comes that earliest of vegetable bloomers, asparagus.

I don’t know about you guys, but during April and May, I buy as much asparagus as humanly possible. (Perhaps an exaggeration, but you catch my drift.) What's more, I’m always looking for different ways to prepare it. Because I loves me some roasted shoots, but after awhile, you know – variety, spice of life – all that jazz.

This may be coming a week or two early in some areas, but this compilation of 81 asparagus recipes should keep you in the culinary clear until next year. FYI, the criteria for each chosen dish were as follows:

It had to include inexpensive, easy-to-find ingredients.
It had to be healthy according to how we usually do it on this blog. Meaning: mostly made up of whole food ingredients, lower in fat and calories, high in vitamins in minerals, etc.
If it came from an aggregate recipe site (Cooking Light, All Recipes, etc.), it had to have had a high approval rating from reviewers. If it came from a food blog, I just trust it. We’re trustworthy people, see.
No Cream of Anything soup or mayonnaise. Because I hate them.

Benefits of Choline for Toddler Brain

Health food nutrition - Lately, we've heard a lot about the different nutrients that are important to our children's brain development. What exactly are the benefits of nutrients? So far, we have studied the Omega-3 and Omega-6, tyrosine and tryptophan, Sphingomyelin, AA, DHA, SA and others. This time, there is no harm we learn other important nutrients for the growth of intelligence of our baby's brain is choline.

Benefits of Choline for Toddler Brain

Choline is an amino saturation of the body needs to build the structure and role in the formation of cell membranes for delivery of signals within the nervous system and nerve transmission kolinergis. Choline also plays a role in various cognition systems within the brain. Choline is a chemical precursor or "building blocks" required for the formation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which has been proven by research to help in the development of memory and intelligence.

Natural source of choline is another egg yolk, soy bean, chicken liver, turkey, and beef that has been cooked.

Frisian Flag 123 and 456 contains choline to help strengthen memory and intelligence. Frisian Flag 123 and 456 also contains key nutrients opening child's potential to absorb and process information in the brain of essential amino acids: tyrosine + tryptophan.

Folic Acid For Health

There are various kinds of nutrients that the body of toddlers need to grow healthy and strong. One is folic acid. Did you know the benefits of folic acid for your baby? Does folic acid, and why the body of nutrients toddlers need this? Let's learn more.

Folic acid is a form of water-soluble vitamin B9. Folic acid can be obtained from food and gets its name from the Latin word "folium" which means leaf. Leafy vegetables such as spinach, as well as nuts and sunflower seeds are food sources rich in folic acid.

Folic acid is important and necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells. At the ages where there is division and rapid cell growth, such as in infancy, toddlers, and in times of pregnancy, folic acid is needed. Folic acid deficiency can damage the formation of DNA and cell division, which in turn can cause various diseases such as megaloblastic anemia.

In addition, Folic acid is also useful to recall the brain (memory) and mental alertness, which is needed by a toddler who is growing. Folic acid is also useful for preventing depression, cancer and other diseases. However, folic acid intake should also be at the right dose so as not to damage the body in the long term.

DHA or Docosahexaenoic Acid are essential fatty acids Omega-3. Chemically, DHA is Carboxilyc Acid with 22-carbon chain and six cis double bonds; the first double bond is located at the third carbon from the omega end. One source of DHA is in fish oil. Most of the DHA in fish, and other more complex organisms derived from the genus Schizochytrium mikroalge, and concentrated in organisms along with rising food chain. DHA is the main fatty acid in brain phospolipid, especially in the retina. DHA deficiency may amenyebabkan lack of serotonin in the brain and can among other causes Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer's disease, and depression.

Benefits of DHA for Infants

DHA is very important nutrients for infant brain development. Research has shown that DHA significantly improve cognitive function of the brain and visual function. DHA also has significant effects on photoreceptor membranes and neurotransmitters that are involved in the process of signal tranduksi; rhodopsin activation, rod and cone development, neuronal connectivity denditric, and functional maturation of the central nervous system.

Addition of a combination of DHA without AA or DHA and AA in the ratio of inappropriate not to provide optimum for growth and brain development. Therefore, Frisian Flag 123 and 456 not only your toddler nutritional supplement with DHA alone but also by the ratio of DHA and AA are appropriate to maximize your toddler's brain development.

Like mother who always give the best for your baby, we were only providing the best for the development and growth of your baby.

By giving your baby milk Frisian Flag 123 and 456, you no longer need to worry about nutritional requirements.

Best Nutrition For Your Baby

Nutrition can be obtained from various sources, among other articles of daily food. But a growing body of toddlers who need extra of milk. Milk has been known for its excellent nutritional value, because it contains calcium, protein, and various vitamins such as A, D, and B 12 (Riboflavin). For this reason, children are encouraged to drink milk every day so they get a more complete nutrition and better.

To provide the best nutrition for your children who are growing, Frisian Flag 123 and 456 has been formulated with DHA, AA, SA, Sphingomyelin and T + T (tyrosine and tryptophan). If your child does not like white milk, no honey and chocolate flavors. Important nutrients are contained in the Frisian Flag 123 and 456? Let us identify more closely.

DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, is a type of family nutrition Omega-3 fatty acids. DHA is important for your child due to a high enough amount of DHA was found in the brain. The human brain consists of 60% fat. Of this 60%, 25% DHA is his. Research findings have concluded that DHA helps the transmission of chemical messages in the human brain. DHA can be obtained from oily fish like salmon, sardines, herring and tuna. In addition, fish oil also contains a few percent DHA. If a child does not really like eating fish, DHA can be supplemented by giving them the milk Frisian Flag 123 and 456. DHA supplementation is very important for them to prevent the decrease in the level of DHA in the body of your child.

Similar to DHA, AA is the abbreviation of another type of fatty acids in Omega-6 family. Arachidonic acid (more commonly known as AA) are also found in abundance in the human brain. As explained above, our brains consist of 60% fat, where 25% of it is the DHA and the other 15% are AA. Both DHA and AA are two types of fat are important because they are the building blocks of the brain involved in thought processes. AA sources are meat (especially red meat, organ meat) and egg yolks. AA levels in red meat (eg beef) higher than the white meat (eg chicken) because basically red meat contains more fat. Both of DHA and AA can also be found in breast milk. Same as DHA, AA supplementation would help reduction of AA in the body of a child.

Besides the above two types of fat, which also has an important role in transmitting the chemical messages are Sialic Acid (known as the SA) who is also the other nutrients contained in milk Frisian Flag 123 and 456. But unlike DHA and AA, SA is not the type of fat but carbohydrates. SA can be found either in breast milk and cow's milk. In the human body, a large number of SA can be found in our brain. SA is an important part of the brain structure, which involves the transmission of chemical messages and interaction from cell to cell. Supplements SA is very important for toddlers to help them maintain and improve levels of SA in their brains.

Frisian Flag's 123 and 456 also contain Sphingomyelin, which also is an important component of breast milk. Myelin contains 65% -80% of fat is one of Sphingomyelin. Sphingomyelin plays a role in the formation of the protective myelin coating which cause the flow of electricity in the myelin of nerve cells become more effective that supports the ability to send messages and prevent children from developmental delay.

And now, Frisian Flag 123 and 456 also contains the T + T (tyrosine and tryptophan), the right nutrients to unlock the potential of intelligence of children. Essential amino acid tyrosine, is involved in the synthesis of epinephrine - a neurotransmitter that is necessary for the mental intelligence and information absorption process in the brain. Neuroptransmitter deficiency can cause loss of concentration and also disrupt the mood of a child. Tryptophan is found in breast milk and acts as a precursor for melatonin and serotonin. Regulate melatonin rhythm of sleep and walking. Has the effect of serotonin in the dendrite growth, glial proliferation and synapto-genesis, which helps the brain process information more quickly.

With the combination of a complete and balanced nutrition, Frisian Flag 123 and 456 ensure that your baby always gets the best for her.[nutrisibalitacerdas.com]

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp: A Multiple Choice Quiz

Today on Serious Eats: Black Bean Dip. I want to eat it all the time. Even when I’m sleeping. Which is probably ill-advised.

Please mark off the following questionnaire with a #2 pencil. Should that process begin to cause excessive damage to your computer, you may point to your answers onscreen.

This dish seems familiar because:

A) Déjà vu.
B) Leigh posted a similar Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble less than a year ago, and Kris (that’s me) forgot to double check when she was making the recipe. Doy.
C) It is your father.

Rhubarb and strawberries are/is:

A) Mellifluous.
B) Almost in season, and natural sweet/tart compliments for each other.
C) Peaches and Herb’s original name.

The difference between a crisp and a crumble is:

A) Inconsequential.
B) Nothing really, though crumble topping may be a bit more substantial than a crisp. Or maybe it’s the other way around? I forget.
C) Like the difference between Britney Spears and Beverly Sills! How dare you ask such a question, you culinary dilettante! Now abscond from my courtyard, and never use my bidet again!

The recipe comes from:

A) Yemen.
B) Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, which we discussed at length last week, to discover that it’s okay to take baby steps when it comes to ethical eating.
C) “The darkest depths of Mordor / I met a girl so fair / But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her....yeah.”
D) None of the above, especially Answer C, which consisted entirely of semi-appropriate Led Zeppelin lyrics.
E) And she’s buying a stairway to heaven.

The 1987 pilot of 21 Jump Street is:

A) Awesome.
B) Notable for launching the career of one John Depp, a dashing young actor who would remain impossibly attractive for the ensuing two-and-a-half decades.
C) Really awesome, because the cops regularly say things like, “It’s not against the law to be afraid.”
D) Really really awesome, because every “high school student” is at least 35-years-old and a dorky sophomore recovers from his heroin addiction and overdose in a single day.
E) Really really really awesome, because after a particularly harrowing police car chase, Mr. Depp breaks for a saxophone solo while the voice of his dead father is piped in over the smooth jazz stylings.
F) In my pants.

People who text and drive, especially on highways and major roads:

A) Duh.
B) Should be heavily fined and have their licenses revoked.
C) Should have their cars pelted with rotten oranges. This will A) teach a lesson and B) do less damage than the humans they will otherwise inevitably hit.

The best Golden Girl is:

A) Dorothy.
B) Sophia.
C) Rose.
D) Not Blanche.

Thank you for taking our quiz. The answer to every question was Z.

Individual Strawberry Rhubarb Crisps
Serves 4.
Adapted from Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.

2 cups halved strawberries (or cut into thirds if it’s a big strawberry)
2 cups rhubarb, chopped
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (NOT melted)

1) Preheat oven to 375ºF.

2) In a medium bowl, combine strawberries, rhubarb, and honey. Stir to coat. Even distribute among four 6-ounce ramekins.

3) In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and allspice. Stir. Cut butter into smaller pieces. Add butter to flour mixture. Using a fork or pastry blender, mash butter and flour mixture until medium-sized crumbs are formed. Sprinkle crumbs evenly on top of the four ramekins.

4) Place ramekins on a baking sheet. (For easier portability!) Bake about 35 minutes, or until rhubarb can be easily pierced with a knife. Topping should be browned and mixture should be bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes. (Trust on this one.) Serve!
