Do you know there are many benefits about drinking coffee?

Coffee is a widely-consumed stimulant beverage prepared from roasted seeds, commonly called coffee beans, of the coffee plant. Coffee was first consumed in the 9th century, when it was discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia.
Millions of people around the world love nothing more than to start their day with a steaming cup of coffee; I include myself. The smell, the taste, the caffeine lift and the shared experience of coffee have become a staple of our modern life and culture.
So, I would like to talk about some benefits that we can find drinking a cup of coffee:
Coffee helps to improve alertness, attention and wakefulness and by that means it facilitates relevant learning. When the study is tedious, boring and not motivating, coffee helps to give you the energy to study and to make the best of it. The caffeine in your cup of coffee helps you process the information from your study books and the lessons you follow.

At the World Coffee Conference in London in 2001, Professor Peter Martin, Director of the Institute for Coffee Studies confirmed that:" The latest scientific evidence indicates that in moderation (2 - 4 cups per day) not only is coffee not bad for you, it may offer so many health benefits like:
Coffee contains hundreds of compounds that may help with research into some of the most prevalent diseases of our time (heart desease and cancer) and one of the most exciting discoveries is the significant presence of antioxidants within coffee beans. Antioxidants are proven to help mitigate the chances of heart disease and cancer (the two biggest killers deseases today).
There are also a number of studies that show the beneficial effects of drinking coffee and or caffeine ingestion on high intensity exercise.
Also, it is very important to mention that drinking coffee is linked with social pleasure, so, pleasure is one of the main antidotes to boredom.
It is an activity that helps to reduce the stress and axienty which is a necessary feature of everyday activities.
Coffee raises mood, improves our concentration and may even promote the well-being of the immune system, so enhancing our ability to cope not only with life, but to enjoy it.
So, drinking coffe it is not as worse as many people think....

Chocolate...It is a delicious way to be cheerful.....

I would like to talk about this delicious thing has always made me happy. The first people known to have made chocolate were the ancient cultures of Mexico and Central America. These people, including the Maya and Aztec, mixed ground cacao seeds with various seasonings to make a spicy, frothy drink. Later, the Spanish conquistadors brought the seeds back home to Spain, where new recipes were created. Eventually, and the drink’s popularity spread throughout Europe. Since then, new technologies and innovations have changed the texture and taste of chocolate, but it still remains one of the world’s favorite flavors.

Many people eat chocolate when they are sad or feeling down.

Others crave the stuff, claiming they are addicted to chocolate’s unique taste and smell. Some even assert that chocolate can relax you, help you lose weight, and even prolong your life.
Chocolate was thought to have aphrodisiac qualities by the Aztecs, so when it was first introduced to Europe it was natural that people continued to associate it with love.
Chocolate contains substances called Phenylethylamine and Seratonin, both of which are mood lifting agents found naturally in the human brain. They are released into the nervous system by the brain when we are happy and when we are experiencing feelings of love, passion or lust. That is why we feel so exciting when we eat it.
Eating chocolate also releases Phenylethylamine and Seratonin into the system producing those same euphoric effects, plus it can give a substantial energy boost thus increasing stamina , so it's probably these effects which gave rise to chocolates reputation as an aphrodisiac.
Finally, the secret could be just to take a little chocolate bar daily in order to be full of satisfaction. Also eating dark chocolate daily for two weeks may lessen the risk of heart disease. But try to avoid eating excesively in order to keep in good shape.

One of the largest cities in the world.......

If you think about visitng a place where you can spend the time with different kinds of activities it should be New York city. You ought to find a lot of things to do like cultural, nightlife, scenery, shopping, festivals, places with the best cuisine etc..
It is the largest city in The United State and the third largest in the world. There are eight millions people living in the city; and nineteen millions in all the metropolitan area. Can you imagine how crowdede it is? Well, that is why you never get bored there. This city is sometimes referred as " The city that never sleeps" or "The big apple"

The city consists of five districts called "boroughts" too. They are: The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.
This city has been welcomed to thousands of immigrants from all around the world. Since European discovered it in 1524. But, it was founded in 1624 as a Dutch trading post. Nowadays, N.Y. has over 40 million of local and foreign tourists , you may consider it as one of the top tourist destination in The U.S.A.

The most important places in order to be visited should be: Empire State Building. It rises 1,250 feet at the 102nd with 10 to 20 thousand visitors daily 20 thousand visitors daily.
It is located on fifth Av. It has been named by the American Society Civil Engineers as one of The seven Wonders of the modern world. Also it was ranke number one The List Favorite's Architecture according to the AIA.With the destruction of Trade World Center in September 11th 2001; The Empire State Building again became the tallest building in New York and the second in The United States.

It shoul be exciting at first sight!

The second most visited atraction in New York it is The Statue Of Liberty. The Statue Of Liberty it is considered as one of of the most important New York's landmarks. The Statue Of Liberty is located on a 12 acre island. It is 46 meters tall, but with the pedestal and the foundation, it is 93 meters tall. It was a gift from friendship to the people from France to the people of U.SA. Also it is a symbol of freedom and democracy.

I would imagine looking up that tall and beautiful lady made of pure copper. It shoul be an amazing experience!

Personally the next should be Central Park. It is one of the most beautiful and huge urban parks in the world. It is located in the borought of Manthattan with 845 acres. While much of the park looks natural, it is in fact almost entirely landscape. It contains several looking-natural lakes and ponds, extensive walking tracks (I would like to walk in this park with my dog one day), two ice- skating rings, the Central Park Zoo. Also, the Conservatory Garden, a large area of natural woods, etc.. I mean, what else would you like to look for in a park? I think it is an amazing and complete park ,which you can spend a very nice and fun day with your family.

Metropolitan Museum is a very interesting and cultural place that you should not miss in your visiting to Ney York. It was established in 1870 and it is located on 5th Avenue in Manthattan. It is one of the world's largest art galleries. The museum is also a home of more than two millions works of art, like paintings, sculptures, encyclopedic collections,etc.. divided into nineteen culatorian departments.

Rockefeller Center in another place you ought to visit, at least to see the modern architecture. It is a complex with 19 commercial buildings covering 22 acres. It is located on Midtown Manthattan. It was founded by Rockefeller's family in 1930. It has a lot of stores and theaters, also it is well known as the country's City Hall. Its ice-skating ring is very famous and it has bee included in some movies tracks. The best season for visiting New York should be on November throw December in order to see the amazing Chritsmas tree. It is usually 75 to 90 feet tall and has been put up since 1931. It has lit all Rockefeller Center every Chritsmas. It has became a tradition in this special plaza mall. It ought to be a beautiful view that makes you feel the Holly's spirit!

In fact, as you can see, I could not finish for a while talking about New York. There are a lot of sites for visiting, so that you can spend amazing choices for both daytime and nighttime amousement. Nevertheless, you have to be quiet careful there in order to keep in mind that it is also one of the most dangerous cities in the world.

That is why New York shoud be just for vacation!

A healthy way to live......

I like talking about healthy balanced diets. I find it pretty interesting topic. Everytime I read or talk with someone about this I often learn newer attractive things.
It is amazing how people put so much importance on it in order to improve their appearance and also to avoid disease. On the other hand, nowadays there are a lot of overweight and obese people, at least 300 million of them clinically obese. That is why it is the majority risk for chronic disease, including: diabetes, cardiobascular deseas, hypertension and certain forms of cancer.
So, why people do not make an effort in order to be healthier? I think, it is because most of the people follow their family bad habits roles, and also they like going on an easier way to eat, because it is faster to get tacos and tortas on the streets than preparing meal at home. Personally I think, that is a totally wrong way to be. Because, you have to think
that "you are what you eat".
Since I was a little child I have learned about how to balance "the food pyramid". I think it is enjoyable to make nutrition by variety. Thanks God neither my family nor me have never had obesity problems; I think it is because we were always used to having good eating habits. Eventhough I was three times pregnant, I have never had to be on an extrict diet to loose weight. The only diet I have always followed is by eating healthy food. I mean, trying to eat as better as I could.

The largest part of our diet should consist of fruit, vagetables and grains; they provide energy, also a variety of vitamins like C, A, E and antioxidants for the body to avoid disease. The best are those that are colorfull (have a componenet called betacaroten) as mention some of my favorite like, carrots, spinach, broccoli, bell peppers,tomatoes, celery. Also I enjoy eating fruit, I love all of them; kiwis, mangoes and pineapple make me creazy; ahhh, and so, I believe in that English saying: "a delicious juicy apple a day keeps the docotor away" .

A moderate amount of protein food; they are compound that are responsible for most of the vital body's functions; also, these should be eaten to get stronger muscles when you like to be fitness. My favorites are any kind of fresh fish, turkey breast, salmon and tuna, because they provide the most protein. Red meat should be eaten only one or two times per week. Also, daily products are so important on a balanced diet, especially to have stronger bones and teeth. My favorite is low-fat yogurth with natural honey and granola. I think it is a fabulous energy breakfast.
Oils, including unsaturated fats are important too, like olive oil, avocado, walnuts,almonds, fish oil, etc.. They contain lot of omega 3 that is very important to mantain healthy function within the body.

Sugars forms only a small part of our diet; they give us part of energy, but also a kind of pleasure, especially for those who can not avoid eating some desserts like ice cream, choclates etc. You may eat them, but just rarely times, not vey often, well; "a little poison will not kill you". Many people may think it is difficult to follow because eating habits are set in early chilhood. But, just think..it worths doing it.
Other important point to keep in mind is by drinking a lots of natural water, at least two liters per day. More water should be drunk by fruit juices or any other kind of liquids. Personally, I usually like to drink coffee in the mornings , so, I know I have to drink more natural water the rest of the day long in order to remove from my body.

Another so important advice is either practicing any kind of sport or having a work-out rutine. Machines to practice cardiobasculare rutines are a good alternative and one of the most recommended in order to keep metabolism in a good way. Personally I like fast walking or jogging at the park, that helps me to give up my daily stress. Also they remove toxins and burn fatty from the body in order to keep a healthier and good shape.

Nowadays, people like practicing lifting- weight at the gym; personally, I think it is a faster way to get muscle tone. You may combine both rutines.

I consider myself as a physical exercise and healthy food fan. Through my life I have seen and known many people that have changed their lives, including either on physically or mentally ways, just by following healthy piece of advice. I have too, so, I can prove myself that it is a total way to be and feel really great!!
