Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread

The Personal Challenge that Led to an Awesome Recipe Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread Don't give me something delicious and then tell me it's a secret family recipe. Years ago, an acquaintance did that with her pumpkin cream cheese bread, and I took it as a personal challenge.
What I discovered after many late nights in the kitchen was that I still had no clue what her recipe was – but that didn't matter because mine was equally delicious. My pumpkin bread became an autumn staple, but when my family went gluten-free, I was afraid I would never eat it again. Thank goodness for blogger Nicole Hunn .who saved the day by introducing me to an all-purpose gluten-free flour called Better Batter. I also substitute Splenda for sugar, so I enjoy my moist, decadent pumpkin bread with almost no guilt. (Hey, pumpkin is healthy, right?) And the best part: it's not a secret. The Recipe Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread Bread Ingredients: 2 cups all purpose gluten-free flour (such as Better Batter – bean flours do not work in this recipe) 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum (omit if your flour includes xanthan gum already –­ Better Batter does) 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup pumpkin (fresh or canned) 1 cup Splenda 2 eggs 1/2 cup milk (low-fat or whole) 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 
Cream Cheese Filling Ingredients*: 1/3 cup Splenda 1/3 tsp. corn starch 2 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 1/3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract *The filling may be doubled for a super-gooey (and equally delicious) bread. Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9x5 loaf pan. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, xanthan gum (if needed), baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, Splenda, eggs, and milk. Stir dry ingredients and butter into the pumpkin mixture until well blended. For the filling, mix Splenda and corn starch in a blender. (This is the confectioner's sugar substitute.) With a hand mixer, combine the confectioner's sugar substitute, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the batter, allowing some streaks to remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for five minutes in the pan, then remove and continue cooling on a rack. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

More About The Heart

More About The Heart Since it has been discovered that heart disease is the No. 1 Killer in women. It is good for us to learn to take good care of our hearts. We can start by learning what the warning signs for a heart attack are. Even though the symptoms can be different in both women and men.
 . Short Breath . Nausea . Vomiting . Shoulder pain . Chest Pain . Back Pain But there are also silent heart attacks, where blood flow to a section of the heart is blocked, caused by a lack of oxygen in the heart muscle. This is caused by a build up of plaque in the arteries. Whenever persons have these heart attacks they usually believe it is just a simple muscle pain because of to much exercise or over work, so they don't bother to go for a heart test.
 But health conscious people who have kept themselves active and people who have no other family members with heart problems, have had heart attacks . However if in your family there has been a number of relatives who died from the disease ,it doesn't mean you'll have it too. Because you can simply eat healthy, monitor your blood pressure, stay active, don't smoke, monitor your cholesterol, lose weight (if you need to). And you'll be able to live a long and healthy life.

CoQ10 and Weight Loss

Coenzyme Q10—or CoQ10—is a vitamin-like matter produced naturally by our bodies to help cells perform properly. An important element for creating energy, CoQ10 is found in foods, such as fish and meats, or taken as a supplement. It’s mainly used for treating congestive heart failure, Parkinson's disease, weakened immune systems and high blood pressure. More recently, however, CoQ10 has been used as a weight loss tool. The CoQ10 and Weight Loss Connection Recommended Daily Allowance Ask the Experts Know the Side Effects Be Mindful of Contaminants The CoQ10 and Weight Loss Connection It might seem too good to be true that weight loss can be found in a pill but that just may be the case when it comes to Coenzyme Q10. CoQ10’s ability to generate cellular energy boosts metabolism and helps individuals reach and maintain a healthy weight. It also increases your body's ability to transform food into energy and regulates the fats and sugars found in your blood.
 It’s important to remember, however, that those who benefit the most from using CoQ10 to lose weight have a coenzyme Q10 deficiency. Recommended Daily Allowance One way to avert the side effects of Coenzyme Q10 is not to exceed the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). Typically, doctors concur that at least 30 but no more than 50 milligrams per day is sufficient, especially if you are taking the supplement to lose weight. It is safe to increase your RDA to 150 to 200 milligrams if you suffer from heart disease or congestive heart failure, Parkinson's or renal failure and after consulting with your physician or health care provider. Because CoQ10 is fat soluble, it should be taken with any oil-containing food for better absorption. The supplement also proves more effective when taking in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program. Ask the Experts Consult your physician or healthcare provider before taking CoQ10 supplements. Anyone taking medications for high cholesterol or blood sugar levels may be at risk for side effects or drug interactions.
These drugs can potentially change CoQ10’s effectiveness and alter your body's reaction to anticoagulants, such as Coumadin and insulin. Know the Side Effects Even though CoQ10 is said to be one of the safest supplements available, the Mayo Clinic cautions that anyone using it to lose weight should be aware of the potential side effects, some of which could be serious. Generally, reactions aren’t severe, are short-lived and don’t require medical attention. Common adverse effects include headache, flu-like symptoms, vertigo, lack of appetite, indigestion, squeamishness, regurgitating, loose bowels, sleeplessness, itchy skin, lethargy, skin rash and increased sensitivity to light. On a more serious note, using CoQ10 also can reduce blood sugar levels, blood platelets and blood pressure and prove harmful to the liver and thyroid. Be Mindful of Contaminants Not all CoQ10 supplements are equal. Taking those of a substandard quality could be harmful because of contamination or poor production. Coenzyme Q10 is considered to be a dietary supplement. As such, government regulations aren’t as stringent as those for prescription medications. Supplement labels also may not accurately reflect the number of "active" ingredients in the product. Play it safe and only purchase CoQ10 supplements from a well-known company or manufacturer.

The Magic Parsley

Healthy Parsley Because, in the last few days, I did not felt too well, the reason being increased uric acid. My feet were swollen and they were very painful.
 I continued with Ganoderma course, but I went to the doctor. Recommended drugs did not have any help and I understood that they were over. So within a few weeks my legs would be deflated, and I could move normally.
 I think if it was winter, I could not wear shoes. I was disappointed. I expect heavy weeks. But an acquaintance, told me to try to drink parsley tea daily or make juice parsley. So I did both. In four days, the legs were deflated and returned to normal. Uric acid decreased. And I who drew parsley on the plate do not eat it. Hahaha, now I like, and I do not miss in my daily menu.

WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS STORY

WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS STORY I had always weighed between 130- 135 pounds during my early and late adult life. Things for me changed after I started working for a local bank as a customer representative. My job entailed too much of sitting down while taking care of my clients issues. My weight shifted upward to about 160 pounds. This was very depressing for me because not only did my figure disappear, but my clothes could not fit any longer.
 I started looking for ways to cut down on the piles of fats that I had accumulated over a span of ten years. I could skip meals, take hot water but nothing really worked. Early this summer, I was going through online sources to see what is out there which could rescue me. Miraculously, I discovered that I could use green smoothie for my weight loss. Every day I could blend a gallon of green smoothie which composed of collard green, carrots, one ripe banana, a cucumber, tomato and a cup of water. I also drank a lot of water and I still do. I did not like the green smoothie in the first place but after using it for a while, I started loving it. I used the smoothie for two good months coupled with few exercises and cutting down on sugar and junk food and lost 12 pounds.
 After the two months I embarked on eating more salad (lettuce, carrots, tomato, avocado and salad dressing) since it was easier to make and the cost was less. As of today, two and a half months down the line, I have lost 20 pounds. My body looks better and I feel great. I feel more energized than I was before I lost the weight. I feel more confident now more than ever. It’s a miracle to me because I had lost hope of ever losing the excessive weight that I had accumulated overtime. I am now more focused on eating healthy and in small potion. The journey for me is not over; I will stop when I lose a total of 25 pounds. My experience has taught me a lot and the most important thing is to never give up.

Detox and liver cleaning with lemon

Detox and liver cleaning with lemon Liver is one of our vital organs.It plays such a big role in detoxification and cleaning our organism that we should always be aware of that,especially if we do not have a healthy lifestyle.
 Since we eat a lot of unhealthy food and our diet is mostly unbalanced, we should at least take better care of our liver that at the end has to deal and process all of the stuff we consume. There are couple of basic foods that can help us and in this article I am going to focus on lemon. Lemon is one of the most useful fruits that we have to help us to clean our liver.
 And the recipe for regular liver cleaning is very simple. You just have to squeeze half a lemon and mix it with one glass of lukewarm water. Drink it first thing in the morning,freshly made,every day. It definitely would be better not to put any sugar in it,but if you have to,put a spoon of honey in it. Since problems with liver can cause acne and other skin problems,as well as dermatitis and eczema,everyone who has these problems should think about their liver as a source of problem. I hope this will be helpful. I wish you all happy and clean liver.
