Can Contact Grills Shave Your Calorie Consumption?

/ Oreo

Grilling indoors is a popular way to prepare food without the mess or calories which come from frying and baking in heavy sauces. The two most popular contact grills include the George Foreman Grill and the Panini Press, but there are others available that offer the same healthy benefits.

Grilling meat like steak and hamburgers on contact grills is great, but you can also grill chicken breast, fish fillets, sausage, hotdogs and more. When grilling on a contact grill, the fatty grease runs off and into a ‘trench’ rather than being reserved in the meat and translating to unwanted calories.

You don’t need to grease the surface of the contact grill before cooking – and the grills leave grilling marks just as if you’d cooked the meat outdoors on a charcoal or propane grill.

While the George Forman grill only comes with ‘on’ or ‘off’ capabilities, others offer advanced settings so you can choose to grill or use a griddle (for pancakes and other liquid mixes).

Also, some contact grills can be used as both a grill and Panini press and offer half grill/half griddle options. Most have removable (and reversible) nonstick surfaces making for easy cleanup and you can even use the handle to determine the thickness of the food.

There are a variety of sizes available in contact grills so you can choose a small one if you’re only cooking for one or two – or larger if cooking for a family. Besides reducing calorie consumption by getting rid of the fat, you can reduce the harmful effects of charcoal on the food you cook.

Flames from charcoal can cause a grill to produce heterocyclic amines (HCAs), which the National Cancer Institute has deemed to be harmful to your health when cooking meats. Using a contact grill helps to eliminate those harmful, carcinogenic compounds.

It’s best to cook meat separately from the veggies and fruits you want to cook and make sure you trim the fat and remove the skin from chicken. Rather than cook breaded foods or those high in fat content, choose vegetables and fruit to get much-needed vitamins and antioxidants.

Contact grills are very affordable, portable, extremely easy to use and one of the healthiest ways you can cook food. The top and bottom surface cook items fast and removes the fat for less calorie consumption. Check out the online deals for a variety of sizes and prices of contact grill and choose the one that’s best for you.

Dealing With All Those Weeds In Your Yard and Garden

/ Oreo

Having to look at weeds in your garden can quickly destroy the charm of it. Yet that does not need to always hold true. You work hard to keep your garden looking great, and you can do many things to keep weeds from growing. Use the pointers in this post, and you can have a beautiful, weed-free yard that you are proud of.

One thing that helps with weeds is mulch. Including mulch in your yard helps to prevent the development of weeds. Many weeds will not grow when they are covered in compost, while some weeds will grow at a far slower pace. Not only will mulch help in weed control, but it will also help make your garden look better. Include a couple of inches of mulch over all of the spots without plants, and you can have a great-looking, weed-controlled area.

Weed out your garden when the ground is damp. Weeds growing in your yard is inevitable. Growing weeds suggests you will need to weed the area to keep it looking its best and to keep your plants as healthy as possible. To take advantage of your weeding efforts, spend time weeding when it is wet. By doing this, you will be able to pull the weeds and root systems out a lot easier.

Plant your plants as close together as possible. You do not want to put them closer than is recommended, but if they are close enough, there will be much less room for weeds to grow. Weeds will find any sort of location where something is not growing and call it home. If there are minimum bare spots, you will have fewer weeds entering your garden.

Weeds cannot grow if they are not supported. If there are areas without plants that you notice weeds growing in, do not water that location. While that may not be an easy task, just try your best to not water those areas.

Landscape fabric can help keep your area without weeds. This slim material is made to impede weed development. You simply place it over your garden, then cut gaps in it where you want your plants. This is not the least expensive option, but it can help keep your yard clear of pestering weeds.

If you find weeds are entering your yard, establish a weeding schedule. By remaining on top of the weeds, it is much easier to control them. Set up your timetable to weed the location every couple of days or at least weekly.

How huge is your garden? If you are finding it is too big to keep under control, you might want to make the yard a smaller, more convenient size. With a smaller yard, there will certainly be fewer weeds. While you would like to grow several plants in a larger garden, you might find a smaller-sized garden is much more satisfying.

You can keep a stunning yard that is free of weeds. Use the suggestions from this short article, and you can have the weed-free yard you have always wanted.

Simple Exercise For Losing Weight So You Can Relax Later In Your Beach Chair

/ Oreo

A lot of us live our lives like penned animals. Built to move, too often we put ourselves in a cage. We have bodies designed for racing across the savannas, but we live a lifestyle designed for migrating from the bed to the breakfast table; to the car seat; to the office chair; to the restaurant booth; to the living room couch and back to the bed.

It was not always this way. Not long ago in the United States, a man who worked on a farm did the equivalent of 15 miles of jogging every day; and his wife did the equivalent of 7 miles of jogging.

Today, our daily obligations of work and home keep us tied to our chairs, and if we want exercise, we have to seek it out.

In fact, health experts insist that obesity problem is probably caused at least as much by lack of physical activity as by eating too much. Hence, it is important that people need to move around.

However, that does not mean that a lap or two around the old high school track will offset a daily dose of donuts. Exercise alone is not very efficient, experts say. They contend that if you just exercise and do not change your diet, you may be able to prevent weight gain or even lose a few pounds for a while.

Nevertheless, it is not something that you are likely to sustain unless exercise is part of an overall program. The more regularly you exercise, the easier it is to maintain your weight. Here is what to do every day to make sure that you get the exercise you need.

1. Get Quality Zzzs.

Make sure that you get adequate sleep. Good sleep habits are conducive to exercise, experts point out. If you feel worn out during the day, you are less likely to get much physical activity during the day.

In addition, there is evidence that people who are tired tend to eat more, using food as a substance for the rest they need.

2. Walk the Walk.

It is probably the easiest exercise program of all. In fact, it may be all you ever have to do, according to some professional advices of some health experts.

Gradually build up to at least 30 minutes of brisk walking five times a week. Brisk walks themselves have health and psychological benefits that are well worth the while.

3. Walk the Treadmill.

When the weather is bad, you might not feel like going outdoors. But if you have a treadmill in the television room, you can catch up on your favorite shows while you are doing your daily good turn for your weight-maintenance plan.

Most of us watch television anyway, and indoor exercise equipment enables anyone to turn a sedentary activity into a healthy walk.

4. Run In Place.

Simply run in place in front of your TV, out in your yard, beside the bathtub while you are waiting on it to fill or while listening to your favorite music. Start with just 50 steps and then each day add another 25 or 50 steps until you are up to just 500 steps. You will lose weight and feel better. It is easy and cheap. Give it a try.

5. Seize the Time.

Excuses aside, lack of time is certainly a limiting factor in most lifestyles. That is why health experts suggest a basic guideline for incorporating exercise into your schedule.

Get as much exercise as you can that feels good without letting it interfere with your work or family life. If you need to, remind yourself that you are preventing many health problems when you prevent weight gain; and keeping your health is a gift to your family as well as yourself.
