It's good to combine proteins with carbohydrates?

Hello SM readers! 

Diets based on „food combining” principle, separates proteins from carbohydrates. Beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds contains them both. The healthiest nation in the world are formed by persons who follow diets based on these products.

There is a number of diets that follow this principle and it’s based on the work of Dr. Hay, from the '30s.

He encouraged the consumption of wholegrain foods, fruits and vegetables. He also claimed that fruits need to be eat'd separately, if they were consumed after a steak for example, then the fruit could ferment which is not healthy.

He also recommends not to eat carbohydrates accompanied with proteins. For example: pasta with rice, or chicken with fried potatoes are not healthy together.

A study where they recommend obese and overweight persons to follow this type of diet showed a 3,6% change in their weight during an year. Although subjects were not advised to eat less or to change the type of food consumed, there was no method of pointing up that the weight loss was determined by the combination technique or the changes in the quantity or quality of the consumed food.

Most overweight people have problems with blood sugar, it would seem that a combination of protein with carbohydrates to be a better solution, not worse.

So fish with rice is definitely an option.

This is a basic diet, besides fruits and vegetables, many populations on islands and isolated areas around the world use this diet and they are populations with a very good health.

Dr. Hay’s approach, if followed it strictly, is probably the best suited for those with digestive problems and not so good for those with blood sugar issues.

And behold, now a recipe for a healthy breakfast:

Do not forget breakfast is very important to maintain your body weight!

Porridge

Preparation of lasts, usually 3-5 minutes, depending on the size of the flakes. You can also use oatmeal, but it will take longer.

250-275 ml skimmed milk, soya or rice milk 

250-275 ml water

75 g oat flakes

2 spoons of honey

1 spoon of freshly ground flax and pumpkin seeds

Step 1: turn the milk and water in a saucepan and slowly add the flakes. Allow to boil and leave it for 4-5 minutes. Keep stirring all the time.

Step 2: Serve with honey and the ground seed mixture.

Bon Apetit!

Digestive problems and the wheat

A research made by the Optimal Nutrition Institute made an investigation on 66 persons, with digestive problems, about the effects of removing the wheat from the diet.The experimental subjects have stopped consuming it for 6 week, to find out, if they are allergic to wheat.

The results show that 90% of the participant’s digestive functions have improved.6 of the digestive problem’s symptoms have been reduced:

-constipation

-flatulence

-distention

-food appetite

-lack of energy

-sudden mood changes

It’s not exaggerating if we say that these people had wheat intolerance.

If you suffer from one of these symptoms, and you consume more than 3 dose of wheat per day, it’s highly possible that you are wheat sensitive. You may discover that it’s better for your digestive if you skip or reduce the amount of consumed wheat to one single dose in every 4 days.

In a digestive recovery program, most of the cases it’s better to choose a diet without wheat approximately for a month.

Here are some foods, which are allowed in a diet without wheat:

Bakery products: rye bread, corn bread, oat bun

Pasta: buckwheat spaghetti, Japanese noodles(hriska), rice noodles, guinoe pasta, corn pasta

Cereals: cornflakes, porridge

Other starch foods: potato, brown rice, hominy

The Teleki Castle open day

Hello my readers! In this weekend I was at the Teleki Castle open day and I felt really good. The view was breath taking. Being there I just remembered the ball... and the show which was last month. That night opened my eye in a different way. This Castle fits in Baroque, it has nice inspirational points which gave me the idea to write about the details what you can find in the castle.

When we arrived with my lovely photographer Fulop Barni, we had a worming welcoming.

As a start I would like to make a little introduction about the Castle:

"The village of Gernyeszeg (Gornesti) is situated in the valley of the River Maros between Marosvásárhely (Targu-Mures) and Régen (Reghin). The history of the village dates back 700 years and is closely connected to the life of its Landlords."

" The building in baroque style resembles to some extent other castles around Budapest like at Gödöllö, Pecel and Nagytétény. It is the so called Grassalkowich style, its main features being the „U” form, a large dome in the middle and a festivity hall beneath. 

The walls and the ceiling of the festivity hall have been painted since the beginning of the XIX. century. Above the entrance door and the door leading to the loggia one can see the painted weapons of the family. But the three chandeliers of Murano glass are the most impressive remains of the former wealth.

The park got its actual form at the begining of the XIX century.Valuable and rare trees were planted, like the gingo-biloba(right from the main entrance), lime, willow , oak-trees and cypresses."

"There are grotesque sculptures around the lake representing some famous figures of the French revolution, like Mirabeau, Les dames des halles (market women) and Louis XVI.

There are some other sculptures in the park representing ancient gods and goddesses."

If you want to read more about the history of the family or the castle visit here.

The backyard of the castle.

The ball room is spectacular, it has the old vibe with the family crests on the ceiling. The castle is in bad shape because it was transformed into a nursing home for children until 2011, after that the state gave back the castle to the Teleki family but everything was destroyed and thrown away. The wall in the other rooms was painted ugly, transformed and destroyed the old shape...

the sealing form the ball room

Gorgeous lamps, I think is beautiful.

The other nice element which "wowed" me was the door. I think it reflects the baroque and it's inspirational. I can imagine a garment based on this door :D.

 Last but not least :D the Park !!!!...It looks like in a fairy tale, I have no words when it comes about this part of the castle.

I think this castle is really inspirational in any kind of way...You can do photo shoots or just take a walk...

The Teleki Casle needs donation. The castle is in a bad shape so if you want to get involved in the restoration please contact here. The open day idea was " to get known the castle" and I think it worked, I felt good about it and I was inspired.

The Castle is open for any photo shoot or visitors any time! Thank you for reading and I hope you got inspired!
