The glycemic index table is a method that is used for comparing the blood glucose response of carbohydrate founded foods. It was developed to help people with diabetes in controlling their blood sugar levels while consuming high carbohydrate, low fat diet.

The glycemic index table can potentially be used as a guide for pre and post exercise nutrition for people wanting a healthy weight loss alternative.

The oxidation rate of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) can stay elevated for a few hours after exercise. However , if insulin levels are increased the fatty acids will be reconverted to triglycerides and stored. It was determined that plasma FFA use was lower following a higher index meal than a low glycemic meal. It was also learned that the high glycemic index meals had greater insulin responses than low index meals.

Eating a lower index meal following exercise, in people who desire weight loss, may help FFA oxidation levels stay elevated for several hours following exercise. In addition a diet which stresses the ingestion of table foods low in glycemic may help lower the storage of fat ingested with the meal.

Blood glucose levels and the stretch receptors in the stomach are the two main controls of appetite. The decrease in blood sugar that often comes with high index foods may increase appetite causing an increased energy intake making losing weight more gruelling.

Foods that should be reasoned high on the glycemic index table would include your standard glucose drink, French bread, carrots, parsnips and mashed potatoes.

Foods like sweet potatoes, skim milk and chick peas are considered to be low on the glycemic table.

You can buy a book on glycemic index list of foods at your local book store that will go into the different glycemic food levels in more depth.  Understanding and using the glycemic index will greatly improve the overall health for women.

It’s a gorgeous morning and the sun is shining. You feel like swimming but you’re very far from the beach. You also have sanitary concerns with a public swimming pool that may be loaded with all types of microbes.

And so you wonder how awesome it would be to have your own swimming pool, only open to you and your loved ones, and 100% under your control and care. You enjoy a dip whenever you like, exercise, play with your children or just relax.

It is clear to you that a personal pool is a must have. But private swimming pools are very expensive specially with all the digging and labor. Furthermore, you may potentially need a bigger house with a larger yard to accommodate the additional space.

Why not get  above ground swimming pools ? It offers all the benefits of the usual inground swimming pools but for much less money and time required to have it up and running. The above ground swimming pool needs no mess, no excavation, no construction, no crew  and you can start enjoying it in a very short period of time. Compare that to weeks and months of workers coming in and out. And as mentioned, your cost will be slashed by 80-90% than with inground pools. 

Some differences for you to remember:

First, these swimming pools are not made of concrete but of vinyl. They consequently can be used for 8-10 years. In ground swimming pools , on the other hand, last for a lifetime.

Second, you need to devise a system to fill your above ground pool with water. That is  really challenging as the volume of water is  very large.

Third, unlike in ground pools, the water depth remains the same all along the full swimming pool length . This means more safety for children here than with the inground models.

Fourth, as the pool is above ground, children do not risk falling accidentally in the swimming pool and drowning as sometimes happens with traditional swimming pools.

Choosing safe and natural skin care products can be difficult.   It isn’t that companies don’t “claim” to provide them.  It’s just that the companies claims are not always completely honest.

Safety is truly the major issue here.  If you are like most people, you would like naturally occurring compounds, because you believe they are safer than artificial compounds.   In most cases, you are correct.   But, there are a few exceptions.

Lead, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals are found in nature.   They may not be on the list of ingredients in your favourite cosmetics, they can be there as contaminants in natural plant extracts.

1000′s of contaminants exist in tap water, which is why water must be purified before it is used in cosmetics.   Purified water does not occur in nature.   You can see the contradictions and the confusion. 

We should be able to believe in the producer’s ability to produce the safest all natural skin care creams.   How do you know which companies to trust?

Choose a company that is a signer of the “Compact for Safe Cosmetics”.  Companies that have signed the compact have agreed to adhere to the European Union’s higher standards for cosmetic ingredients.  Large companies were given the opportunity to sign.  But, so far, none have done so.  

The EU has banned or strictly regulated thousands of ingredients, because they are known to cause birth defects, cancer or inherited mutations.  The United States has restricted only a few compounds.  

The latest article from the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics warned against the use of fragrances in cosmetics.   Whether chemical or naturally occurring, fragrances can trigger asthma attacks, allergic reactions, headaches and shortness of breath.   They are also common allergens. 

According to the law, cosmetic manufacturers are not allowed to sell anything that can cause harm to the wellness of the user.  But, they are not required to prove the safety of the ingredients they use.   Any company that uses artificial preservatives is actually breaking the law, because they have been proven to cause allergic reactions.  That is injurious to the user’s health.

As you continue to look for anti aging skin care products, be sure to look for manufacturers  that are signers of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics.   That way, you’ll be safe.
