Jewellery Designers Make Amazing Items For The Silver Screen

Jewellery designers have been invited to send in pieces of costume jewellery they have already developed for the film industry. Spectacular necklaces, bracelets and tiaras that have had their own starring role and adorned well-known film stars are now being sought. Certainly the glittering assortment of glitter and bling for the films are paste rather than diamonds, but they produce a good show.

Pieces by jewellery designers for films are going to be exhibited at the Jewellery on Screen event at Somerset House on The Strand in London next June as part of London Jewellery Week. The show has got Orkney jewellery designers pondering how some of our long-established collections ranging from mens Celtic rings to contemporary style jewellery may very well be just appropriate for the film industry.

The Tudor range, for example, influenced by the gemstones and luxurious decoration of the period, is a traditional style for films about Elizabeth I starring Cate Blanchet or Helen Mirren. And our Louise ring could actually adorn the ring finger of her namesake in Thelma and Louise, played by Susan Sarandon.

Jewellery Designers in the Movies

One Orkney collection incorporates Birdland necklaces, earrings, brooches and charms depicting birds flying across a northern sky. Daphne du Maurier's novel, The Birds, however created a scarier view of these creatures - not improved by a Hitchcock horror film featuring Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor! The Heart collection links with plenty of famous films such as the newly released Crazy Heart with Jeff Bridges. But independent of the romantic Heart there's also Braveheart, who could gladly wear many of the mens Celtic rings or our Sword kiltpin style and design.

Sword, of course was a important element in a lot of pictures about Arthur, Camelot and Merlin. The well-known Willow design has got the same name as the quest film starring Val Kilmer and Joanne Walley and no one knows what Toad and his pals would make of it in Wind in the Willows.

The modern-day piece True relates to many films for example the kooky True Romance starring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette or True Grit, the John Wayne or Jeff Bridges variation. And Chanticleer, based on the saga of a rooster and a fox, might well be a nice pattern for the Fantastic Mr Fox.

There are lots of more blockbusters out there that we could provide models to suit. Orkney probably won't yet be one of the centers for jewellery designers who provide pieces for Hollywood, but a lot of our choices are displayed by stars who love our style.

The Fundamentals Of A Soccer Game

By Margaret Burgess


The lengths of a soccer game vary in lengths depending on the age group, but college, high school, and professional play two 45 minute halves. In soccer, there are two teams which consists of nine players and a goalie. The players are only allowed to play the soccer ball with their feet, and they are divided into offense and defense.

In each team, the players are divided into offense and defense, and they're only allowed to used their feet to play the soccer ball. Soccer's main objective is to score by kicking the ball into the opposing team's goal. In which case, the goalie is the only one allowed to his/her hands to stop the ball.

Juggling is often practiced by soccer players, and this is a skill that consists of keeping the ball in the air using the feet, knees, head, chest, or thighs. Unless you want the other team to take possession of the ball, don't use your hands or arm. The opposing team takes possession of the ball by doing a "throw-in" when the other team knocks the ball out of bounds, and during this time both feet should stay on the ground while the player throws the ball back into play. When a ball is kicked over the line of a team's own goal, then the opposite team takes the ball to the corresponding corner and kicks the ball back into play to one of the teammates, and this is called "corner kick". A "goal kick" is the result when the team kicks the ball over the goal line of the opposing team, and this is taken by one the defensive players of that team.

There are circumstances where "fouls" are called. Examples of fouls include excessive pushing, unsportsmanlike behavior, and touching the ball using the hand or arm. If this happens, the opposite team will get a free kick from the referee when he called the ball dead in the spot where the foul occurred.

A shootout is the result of when the regulation time of the soccer runs out and the score is tied, in which case the goalie of one team is up against a player from the opposing team. The game is won by whoever scores a goal first.

How To Answer A Credit Card Summons

By Allan Henry


How to answer a credit card summons is something that many consumers worry about unnecessarily. There are many ways in which I have seen consumers try to answer these summons but only one way seems to work. I will explain to you the best way to answer and direct your efforts to other things that are more worthwhile to protect your financial situation.

I have watched as many people have made a ridiculous mistake. Everyone will always have a few different options when it comes to deciding how to answer a credit card summons. What I want to impress upon you is that by not answering you will automatically lose the case. There is no decision that is worse than this! Do not make this mistake and ensure that you lose the case made against you.

I hope that you have now decided to never run away from a summons. The fact of the matter is that it is not complex to answer a summons. All you need to do is follow the instructions provided and show up or do whatever you are being summoned to do. Some people may still feel like going along with a summons is going to hurt their case. The fact is that it wont. After arriving in court is where what you know or don't know will begin to make a huge difference.

In my opinion asking how to answer a credit card summons is the wrong question to be asking. The truth is that the majority of credit card debt lawsuits are won or lost based off the amount of knowledge that the consumer has of the legal system. I recommend spending your time learning about the legal system instead of worrying about the summons.

Opposing attorneys will assume that you do not have any knowledge of the legal system. This for most consumers is absolutely correct. They will then proceed to confuse you and set you up to make mistakes that will lose you the case. The best way to prepare you for a credit card lawsuit is to understand what the opposition will be asking you and what the best way is to answer each of the questions. To continue to grow your expertise it is also good to know what to ask the opposition to prove such as proof that they loaned you money or a valid signed and dated contract.

My recommendation to you is to focus your time and efforts on creating a defense that will hold up in court. The time spend gaining an education on the legal process will count much more towards your financial situation than spending your time searching for the key to how to answer a credit card summons.

Keeping Your Pond In Good Condition

By Owen Jones


The first concern of every fish keeper, whether it be a pond or a tank is water quality. You need to spend some time and some money every month, looking after the properties of the water in your fish tank or pond. In fact, it is a lot cheaper in terms of time, money and stress to maintain a good quality of water than it is to remedy water once you have let it go wrong.

Your filtration system is your number one tool in the fight to maintain good quality water. A good filtration system consists of two facets: mechanical and biological. The mechanical feature removes the physical waste and debris that builds up in any body of water, especially one that has fish in it.

The mechanical filtration system has to be of a size that it can deal with the volume of water that you have. A pump will suck up the water and pass it through a filter and the clean water, ie minus leaves, algae and faeces, runs back to the pond via a waterfall, which also aids aeration.

The biological filtration system will deal with waste that has already dissolved into the water in the form of nitrogen. if you do not release this nitrogen, by initiating a nitrogen cycle, it will build up and change itself into ammonia, which will kill your fish in a matter of days. This nitrogen cycle is essential.

Just think about it, your fish are living, breathing, eating and sleeping in their toilet bowl, so unless you keep their environment sanitary, they will poison themselves. A river, their natural environment, is continuously being flushed into the sea and renewed with rain. You have to reproduce that environment if you want to keep healthy fish.

A good rule of thumb is, if you can see the bottom of your pond, then you are probably doing all right, but do not rest on your laurels. First time pond owners often make the mistake of over-feeding. That excess food becomes waste and has to be removed or it will feed the growth of algae.

Do not forget that, if your fish live outside, they will be eating flies, grubs and larvae so they can fairly happily go without a feed for a few weeks. That does not mean that you do not have to feed them, it just means take care. Feed more in the summer than in the winter, because your fish will become semi-dormant in the winter.

Quarantine your new fish to make sure that you do not pass on illnesses. For instance, the koi herpes virus develops at precisely 74F, so if you heat a tank to that temperature with your new fish in it, you will know whether they are safe to put in the pond or not. During this quarantine stage, you must not share implements with your pond and your tank or you run the risk of cross-contaminating your pond.

Koi can be expensive, so when you are setting up your first fish pond, you may like to stock it with goldfish instead until you get the drift of things. Later on, you can add koi carp as they will happily reside side-by-side.

Straightforward Suggestions To Keep Comprehensive Nutrition Intake

By Yuko Tandus


Is nutrition a part of you life you want to improve, but you are not knowledgeable on how to do so? Your search for information has led you here and now you'll be able to learn the tips and techniques to help you achieve your dreams! This article will explain things about nutrition you might have never known. Using these tips can improve your way of living.

When talking about nutrients and food, how you cook recipes and prepare your foods is essential. One of the best things that you can do to save money and improve the quality of your dressings is to make your own. Homemade dressings will save you a lot of money in the long run and will also taste great, as most of the ingredients are natural and healthier. One of the most useful websites to consider is herbivoracious and vegetarian menu.

Just because you are eating healthy foods does not mean that you can stop monitoring how much you eat. Portion size is a very important thing to consider when trying to shed pounds. When you eat more, you are consuming more calories.

Do not eat sugary cereals or pastries for breakfast. Many of these cereals not only contain a sugar overload, but they may also contain trans fats, synthetic preservatives and various chemicals. Try oatmeal for a quick and healthy breakfast that will keep you feeling full far longer than sweetened cereal.

Review the product information on the label of any prepared food you eat. Reduced fat products can still contain high amounts of salt, sugar or other unhealthy additives. Foods that have been overly processed do not lend to weight loss. Look for simple, common ingredients that are easily understood. If some of the ingredients listed on the label are artificial ingredients, it's more than likely that the food is processed and unhealthy.

When preparing mushrooms, always make sure they are adequately cooked. They contain carcinogens that can hurt you, so cook them thoroughly. It is always important to maintain all aspects of health, as certain things can prevent weight loss.

Changing the way one prepares their meals at home can have a big impact on one's body. Try cooking methods such as grilling or broiling instead of cooking with oil and butter for a healthier result. All a person needs to do is make those healthy choices.

By reducing the amount of food in a meal, you will also reduce your daily calories. This is an effective measure for those who want to lose weight and eat less.

Consider enlisting the help of a friend whenever you decide to make a major life change, like starting a new diet. This could include a positive role model or even someone who is in a position similar to your own. It can be very helpful to have someone you can talk to as you diet.

You can eliminate some items from your diet for better nutrition. Processed sugars have no redeeming nutritional value. Second, you might want to consider switching to "brown" foods instead of "white" foods, since they offer a better nutritional value to your diet. Avoid trans and saturated fats which can clog your arteries.

Try different ethnic foods. Eating the same thing can get boring; break this boredom with delicious and nutritious foods from other countries.

Improve your nutritional intake in small steps. You know you need to boost the nutrition your diet provides. But if you try to improve it all at once, you are almost sure to resume your former diet before long. Start slowly to make the appropriate long term dietary changes. Tea with caffeine is a great alternative to soda and fruit is a great snack in place of chips. As time passes these changes will become part of your daily routine, then you can add a few more. You will see results from these small steps towards better nutrition quite soon.

You probably would like to eat healthier, more nutritious foods, but given your limited time, it's often hard to do. Think about making homemade meals instead of going out. This helps you get a nutritious meal nightly.

If you enjoy eating eggs for breakfast, you should only eat the egg whites. The yolk contains most of the cholesterol and fat, while the egg whites don't have as much. When eating just the egg whites, you will want to replace them on a 2:1 ratio.

When it comes to nutrition, there are a variety of options you can choose that will help you eat healthier. Nutrition options available offer something for everybody, but you need to find what works for you, personally, because it will be different for each person. Hopefully, these tips have given you a starting point for your own plan.

Have Tritium Exit Signs

By Ross Thieme


Energy conservation is one of the critical considerations in building design. For cost-efficiency, several companies shifted to the use from electric exit signs to tritium exit signs. When evaluating the feasibility of tritium signage, it is suggested to assess the sustainability, usages and requirements before deciding to shift to this sign device.

Despite the ability of this signage to effuse minute percentage of beta radiation compared in comparison with normal hydrogen.

Tritium is an irradiated hydrogen isotope which is also known Hydrogen-3. Technically, this gaseous hydrogen isotope is famous for its illumination effects. It has the ability to make items glow in the dark, such as the ones found in clocks, emergency signs and many more. Tritium is not solely utilized in making self-luminous items and devices, but it is also used to boost nuclear weapons. It serves as an alternative option for carcinogenic radium in various commercial applications.

Is tritium hazardous to use?

Even though tritium is complicated to tackle, but this hydrogen isotope is harmless and firm substance. Exposure to tritium should not be a cause of alarm because it is safe and does not bring any health-related impediments. However, its irradiated properties make it dangerous when swallowed, insufflated and ingested in the skin. Due to the hazard and danger with tritium, caution and attention is needed when removing lacerated tritium products and commodities.

Why tritium-powered exit symbols are commonly used?

More and more users prefer the use of tritium-driven lighting and sign devices because of its ability to save on energy and electricity consumption. Tritium exit signages managed to penetrate the market and became popular in schools and office facilities in the 20th century. These facilities shifted and used tritium-mechanized sign products instead of the traditional signboards.

Are these tritium signs sustainable and safe to use?

Despite being a topnotch product when it comes to electricity consumption compared to the conventional electrical signage, care and proper disposal makes the product lesser when compared with the traditional. Careful and protective measures are needed when removing this contaminated product from buildings due to its hazards. To avert risks and to ensure the safety of building occupants, periodic and careful inspection, specialized disposal and maintenance are deemed necessary. To avert the onset of groundwater contamination and pollution, these products should only be handled and maintained by licensed and credible handlers.

What are the other alternatives to tritium-power exit signs?

Photoluminescent items are the safer options which grow in popularity among standard building designs. Since it is highly accredited and commended by the Federal Energy Management Program, government buildings changed their old units with this safer and recyclable option. These products are not only energy-efficient, but they are also financially- and environmentally effective for business enterprises of all sizes. Even if tritium exit signs are far more ahead when it comes to energy conservation, its dangerous properties make photoluminescence products the best option.

Be Sure To Make The Most Of Your Travels

By Cyrus Parrack


Traveling can be an important part of your life, whether for business or for pleasure. You need to do all of your research so that you don't forget to pack something important, see what the best methods of transportation are, etc. There are some tips listed below to help you begin.

Roll your clothing before placing items in your suitcase. Doing this instead of folding clothes allows you to pack more. If you roll the clothes in tissue paper it will also help to keep them wrinkle free. Wrinkle free clothes will be easier to unpack and care for during your vacation.

Before departing on any journey, even ones lasting only a few days, always make two photocopies of your important information, including itinerary, passport, drivers license, and contact information for where you will be staying. Put all this information in two separate packets, then put one in your suitcase, and leave the other with a close friend or relative. Make sure you keep the contact information for that friend or relative with you at all times.

When traveling by car, be sure to watch your gas gauge and fill up your tank every time it reaches the halfway mark. Keep a good itinerary that includes places to gas up your vehicle, and be sure to check under the hood and check the tires every time you get gas. By keeping an eye on your oil and fluid levels and making sure your tires are in good shape and your car has plenty of gas, you can avoid being stranded by a breakdown.

Make sure you plan out your traveling ahead of time by checking the weather. You don't want to travel on a vacation to somewhere where the weather is not favorable. Choosing what season to explore a city is crucial to taking in the true experience that particular city has to offer.

When traveling abroad, get an international calling card. These cards provide you with discounted rates on minutes and can be an affordable way to call back home. Using the hotel phone with your credit card can be costly, sometimes to the tune of hundreds of dollars. You will likely find that your cell phone doesn't work either. Plan for the calls you need to make and you will save money.

If you are a light sleeper, a pair of earplugs can really help. Sometimes hotel walls seem tissue paper thin. A good pair of earplugs (or multiple pairs of disposable earplugs) can block out the extra noise and allow you to get a good night's sleep.

Traveling can be very rewarding, but it can also be a lot of work and planning. Regardless, if you know what to do and how to travel smarter, you can have a great trip. So, do yourself and apply the above tips to all of your future travel plans.

Need Help With Web Hosting? Follow These Tips

By Kristle Kloster


How do you know if you have the right web host for your site? If you aren't absolutely sure you have the right host, this article is for you. It is packed full of web hosting tips that will help you figure out how to choose a good host for your site. Keep reading.

Find out if your web host service supports videos. Videos take a lot of storing space and bandwidth, and you might have to spend a lot for a plan that supports videos. You can save money by uploading your videos to YouTube for free and embedding them on your website.

If you want to run an online business, you should know that your web hosting service is going to represent your main investment. Even if this service seems costly in comparison to the other expenses related to your business, keep in mind that the success of your site will greatly depend on a good host.

Look for different reviews on a web hosting service. If you know any webmasters personally, ask them which service they use and how much they pay. Compare different sources and look for reviews written by people who have a site similar to the kind of project you are working on.

Prior to signing up with a web hosting service, consider the fact that you may want to add more sites in the future. This will keep your options open if you start with a company that allows for multiple site hosting. Consider the approximate number of sites you may add, as some web hosting companies will allow for unlimited add-on domains, and look for your best option.

Finding the right host will require a good deal of research on your behalf, unless you want to risk making a bad judgement. A decision like this may not have as important of a meaning when dealing with personal websites, but if the host behind a highly popular site collapses, that business will likely lose a lot of customers.

Before deciding to ditch your current web host and go for one that is cheaper, consider the software platforms of other companies. You will want to make sure that they are compatible with your current provider, so that you can easily transfer or replicate your files. Save yourself some real headaches by choosing carefully.

Go for Linux hosting unless you need to use certain applications or server-side languages. Linux hosting has a better reputation for uptime, stability, and resource use. Shared hosting that runs on Linux tends to be somewhat cheaper, as well. There are, however, certain applications that need Windows hosting, including Plesk, Microsoft Access, Silverlight, MSSQL, and ASP.net.

Though it shouldn't need to be said after reading that entire article, but choosing a hosting plan based on its price alone is never a good idea. Many companies offer options all across the spectrum and the ones that you choose, could mean the life or death of your business.

We only wanted to give you a taste of what can be discovered on this subject. The thing about it is that the average person is way too consumed and does not have time to know all there is about Auto Dialer System. This is just like many other areas in which you can have a true edge when you have the right kind of information. It truly does not have to be torture to get the best readily available knowledge, and when you do then you will realize what we mean.

Recognizing and Admiring the Fantastic thing about African Wildlife art Paintings

By Calvin Pushia


African paintings are known for their beauty and their power to capture the culture of the people and the wonders of nature. South African art often depicts hamlet life, including rites, everyday chores, tragedies and celebrations. These paintings are picked up throughout the world and prized for their artfulness.

In the pre-colonial times of Africa, art was often more abstract than it is today. In traditional times it was typically found painted on rocks within caves, with depictions of African wildlife art and humans. These rock paintings are still utilized today to grasp the life African ancestors led.

South African art from the San, an ancient tribe, was first to show the spiritual world and its link to humanity. This art regularly showed medicine men giving the whole tribe a divine message from the unseen world. It is also known that most of these paintings were completed after a dance by the medication man after he healed the unwell and communicated with spirits.

Clans throughout Africa have developed their own materials and even pigments to make African wildlife art and other art forms. It is definitely possible to tell the origin of artwork just by taking a look at the distinct pigments. While artwork commenced on cave walls, it finally spread to textiles, homes and even body art.

An interesting fact about much of African art throughout the continent is it wasn't just used to express beauty. In some tribes it was used as a type of secret communication. For example, in the 1700's, the Ndebele clan started molding their homes from mud and painting unique patterns on the walls. Only the Ndebele understood the meaning of the symbols. The women of the clan were called the tradition conveyors and the paintings were passed from girl to daughter.

As war and unrest swept all though Africa, design was also used to portray injustice, corruption and disputes among clans. Because of the many themes and meanings found in African art, African art for sale is popular around the planet and is valued for its rich colour, deep meaning and overall beauty.

Sun Tan Spray Fights The Danger Of The Sun

By Haywood Hunter


Sun tan spray has been with us for quite a while. The deadly UV rays of sunlight has forced people to try and develop some kind of protection. The result was lotions that can be applied to the skin. Many types are available.



Suntan oil is different altogether. It is not made to give protection from the sun, but to help you tan quickly and effectively. Suntan spray gets to work absorbing, reflecting and filtering the rays while the oil actually has the purpose of intensifying the rays to enable a person to tan deeper and faster as they normally would. Make very certain to choose the right one.

The cream is also known as sunblock or suntan lotion. It is an essential sunscreen product and offers protection to anyone whose body is exposed to the sun for long periods. This must never be left behind when you plan to spend a summer day on the beach. Skin lightening products have sunscreen to protect lightened skin because light skin is more susceptible to sun damage than darker skin.



Whether you choose a small tube or spray on version of the cream, it is necessary to spread it evenly over all exposed skin. A generous blob in the palm of your hand should be sufficient to cover an adult body.

Often people will say suntan spray should be re-applied every two to three hours. Some researchers have found that applying it fifteen to 30 minutes before going outside into bright sunlight, and then re-applying fifteen to thirteen minutes after exposure started, offers the best protection. After swimming or sweating it must be re-applied again. There are products on the market that resist water and perspiration.

There is no best type available for babies. Babies should not be exposed to the sun at all as their skin is too delicate to cope with the harsh sun. As adults we are all aware of the dangers of excessive exposure. We should never subject the precious new skin of an infant to the unforgiving rays. Seek advice from a physician if there is no avoiding exposing your infant to the sun. Not all protection products are suitable for skin younger than six months. Baby's tender, sensitive skin may react badly to sun lotions.

Most older kids though seem to love playing outside, so it is extra important to put sun block on them to protect them. If they get sun burn in ten minutes, SPF 30 block will give them protection for 300 minutes and SPF 15 for 150 minutes.

The sun is a cause of skin cancer. It is dangerous and must be treated as such. For this reason the American Cancer Society recommends the use of sunblocks. When you use it though, keep in mind that it van wash of or wipe off. Re-apply when you think it is necessary. There is no sense in paying a very high price of fun in the sun, especially not if sun tan cream can prevent it.

New York And Its Bed Bug Problem

By Owen Jones


This citizens of New York used to worry about the growing population of rats that was pestering their city, but these days they have something else to be concerned about. Bed bugs have invaded New York in a big way, a very big way. In 2004, there were 82 reported accounts of bed bugs in New York, in 2009, there were 10,985. That is a huge rise by anyone's standards.

It used to be alleged that bed bugs were a poor family's concern because they lived in filth. This is not true, they like all classes of people and all kinds of residences. Recently, part of a hospital was closed down in Brooklyn because of bed bugs and before that two trendy clothes stores owned by Abercrombie had to be de-infested in Manhattan.

These insects really do not care where they live. Bed bugs move from one location to the next by a process commonly known as hitch-hiking. If you bought clothing from an infested shop, there may be a bed bug in the lining or there may be a few eggs in a pocket, when you have taken your new item of clothing home, you will start a new infestation there.

Or you could be seated in a bus and one will crawl up your back and under your collar where it can sleep or lay eggs. When you get home, you will hang your coat up and the bug will go searching for food within five days. If it was a pregnant female, then you could have eggs hatching out withing ten days. Females can lay a couple of eggs a day for months on end.

It is a rule of thumb, that if you are able to spot bed bugs, you have an infestation, because we are not normally on the look out for them, they are very timid and they usually only come out in the twilight before dawn, while you are sleeping.

Joel Roodman, the film-maker and his wife, Ms Taft, a past top fashion model, were 'shocked and horrified' that their $18,000 holiday rental was 'crawling' with bed bugs. One New York pest control company said that they are being more and more frequently being called to commercial buildings such as '... banks, grocery stores, cinemas, judges' chambers, schools, dentists' offices - everywhere'.

Needless to say, hotels are also being infected. One complainant reported finding a sated bed bug. When he spoke to the receptionist, he was told: 'Welcome to New York'. In an incident map of the top ten cities infected by bed bugs, New York came in second. Columbus, Ohio was first and Toronto, Canada was third.

Luckily, bed bugs do not convey diseases, but they are fairly horrible creatures. They insert two tubes into their hosts, one squirts in spittle which contains anticoagulant and anaesthetic and the other sucks blood.

They like to attack an hour before dawn and they have normally gorged themselves within five minutes. The red marks and itchiness that most people experience is an allergic reaction to the bed bug's saliva.

Owen Jones, the writer of this piece, writes on many subjects, but is at present concerned with getting rid of bedbugs. If you are interested in this, please go over to our website now at Picture Of Bed Bugs for more details.

Read About Low Carb Diet And Low Carb Recipes

By Sandy Montana Hall


By both following a low carb diet and low carb recipes individuals can experience many medicinal benefits. Both help guide individuals to limiting the consumption of foods rich in carbohydrates. Instead foods with higher sources of protein and fat are eaten in their place. Larger quantities of foods with a low carb content are also eaten. Consequently, many people become healthier.

The limitation or elimination of foods with high levels of digestible carbohydrate is key. These include pastas and bread. Instead, foods with a high protein or fat content are consumed. Among these are cheese, poultry, eggs, meat, seeds, fish, nuts, shellfish and peanuts.

Additional favorable foods consist of those with low carb contents, like tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce. However, some diets allow individuals to consume additional sources of vegetables and fruits. Everything depends on which plan is being followed, as many varieties exist.

A low-carbohydrate meal plan has many uses. It can be used very effectively to reduce body weight and fight obesity. Also, it improves symptoms in those with epilepsy and diabetes. Many individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome and polycystic ovarian syndrome has also benefited.

Limiting the intake of carbohydrates has been proven scientifically to be as helpful as limiting energy and fat levels. In one study of women who were either overweight or obese and premenopausal, most lost weight following this diet type. Another study instead linked obesity to a consumption of limited carbs, but it is unclear how.

A more convincing study has been completed on the effects of longevity. The source of information was gathered from one hundred thousand people over the time frame of two decades eating fewer carbs. Results indicated that the diet can be helpful, but that lifespan was most influenced by protein and fat sources. Eating foods with protein and oils from plants results in an increased lifespan. If fats and proteins are instead gathered from animal sources, lifespan decreases.

One example of a main dish for a dinner meal is pheasant served with shallots and cream. It calls for pheasant, canola oil, cream, butter, artificial sweetener, pepper, and salt. No pastas or breads exist in this meal. The bird gives protein and fat comes from the cream, butter and oil. It is not recommended for most proteins or fats to come from animals, as they do in this recipe. Therefore there are healthier options available.

A healthier dish is the chicken roulade. This is a chicken breast stuffed with chicken, mushrooms and brandy. It is superior because it includes spinach, mushrooms and chicken for its proteins. This adds multiple vegetable source proteins. Additionally, olive oil is called for to cook shallots and garlic, a source of plant oil.

This diet assists those with many ailments. It helps those with weight issues, insulin abnormalities and seizure disorders. It can provide individuals with energy and improve symptoms of those suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome. However, its ultimate impact on longevity depends on the supplies of fats and proteins. Using recipes following this diet that get most of these nutrients from animal sources is not recommended. It is meals that use plant variations of proteins and oils that promote optimal health and increase lifespan.
