You must prepare this beautiful wholegrain flaxseed basket. The preparation is not Quick and Easy, but believe me this one is worth the time. First get ready because this taste will blow your mind! Now for this recipe you’ll need:

For the wholegrain flaxseed basket!

20g ground flaxseed
120g wholemeal flour
80g soft, white, flour
2 tablespoons of flax seed
50 g butter
2-3 tablespoons (40 g) feta cheese
1 egg
a bit of baking powder
3-4 tablespoons of cold water (if necessary)

For the salad filling:

1 small onion
a handful of green olives
2 tablespoons capers
1 can of tuna
half links parsley leaf

2 hard-boiled eggs
12 cherry tomatoes

Preparation:

Put the two types of flour, ground flax, flaxseed, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a bowl and combine them. Then add the sliced butter and cheese and knead it until you get hard dough, and then add the egg and, if necessary, a little water, put as much as you need to in order to get nice flexible dough. Wrap up the dough in foil and leave in the fridge to cool.

When the dough is cooled down, make the baskets with the dough that should be about 9 cm thick (I used a cup of tea to make the baskets) . You have dough for about 10 baskets. Make holes with the fork on the side of the baskets and let them cool in a fridge for 30 minutes.

Heat the oven to 200 degrees and bake the baskets for 20 minutes and then they immediately take them out and let them cool down.

While the dough is cooling down make the salad. To make the filling salad, first chop the onion, add salt and leave it for 15 minutes (the onion should not be hot). After 15 min add finely chopped olives and capers, drained and chopped tuna and chopped parsley leaf. You should finely mix them and add a little olive oil. Put the salad in the fridge to mix the tastes nicely.

And then in the bottom of each basket put 1 circle from the boiled egg, then 1 tablespoon of the salad and put cherry tomato on the top.

They are ready to be served, ENJOY!

Awesome scar removal scrub

July 9, 2015 by Sheila Smith

Unfortunately, hardly anyone of us has a perfect skin without any flaws and imperfections. In addition to stains that occur naturally due to depigmentation or excessive exposure to the sun, there are scars that result from minor and major injuries, surgeries and other interventions on the skin.
Most of them are here to stay and no plastic surgery can remove them, but there are local treatments which properties can reduce the visibility of scars, and make those smaller ones completely disappear.
Check out how to make a homemade scrub to remove scars and blemishes from the skin of the face and body.

Ingredients: 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons olive oil. The most important ingredient is the lemon. It contains vitamin C which is one of the ingredients of collagen and helps skin regeneration; it is rich in AHA acid that supports cleaning and whitening.
Olive oil nourishes the skin, keeping it from dehydration, and we know that nourished skin quickly heals and renews cells. Sugar serves as exfoliant- to remove the layer of dead cells, while honey is fantastic for hydration, care and renewal of the skin.

Positive effects of the scrub:
* Cleaning the skin – lightening scars;
* Strengthening the elasticity of the skin – a replacement for collagen;
* Hydration – renews the skin.
Preparation: In a glass with sugar, add the olive oil and stir until the ingredients are well combined. Add lemon juice and honey and stir. Apply to skin areas with a scar or stain and rub. Hold for 15-20min, then rinse.

This is a natural chemical scrub that can be used once every 10 days, and it will lead to the elimination of the surface layers of the skin where the skin becomes more sensitive and completely vulnerable from the outside and the physical or chemical influences, which among other things results in the formation of wrinkles , spots and stains from the sun! During this treatment, it is necessary to avoid exposure to sunlight as well as the compulsory use of SPF cream!

Power walking – for slim figure and healthy mind

July 9, 2015 by Sheila Smith

We believe that most of you are not fans of starvation and sweating in the gym or fitness center. Do not worry, there is a way to lose weight without doing that! The warm weather is perfect for power walks!

Why is it good?
– Regular power walks can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, strengthen the bones, improve metabolism and circulation.
– The time spent doing this physical activity will relieve tension and anxiety, so it’s great as anti-stress treatment.
– Besides being healthier, you can lose about half a kg of body weight in 10 days.
– Unlike jogging, power walking has no risk of overloading the joints or injuries
– Ideal for of all of you who sit a lot at work and don’t have physical activity.

Technique
The number of steps a day, in order to achieve visible results and effects to your health and body weight is 10 000 steps. That accounts for about 1 hour of power walking a day or about 7.5 km.
Of course, you don’t have to do this at once, but you can do few shorter power walks a day.
If you want your power walk to become a form of recreational sport it has to meet certain criteria.
– Move faster than the everyday walking with smaller steps.
– The whole body is completely straight and the hands are active.
– The upper body is straight, the back is relaxed, and the look is focused ahead.
– The palms are relaxed and closed.
– The foot on which you rely, while on the ground must be straight until immediately prior to separation from the ground.

-The breath is deep, in line with your walking rhythm.

– And most importantly – one foot must always be in contact with the ground, because if it’s not, then you are jogging.

Before training
– The last meal before the power walk should be an hour earlier. Do not do this activity with full stomach. If you are very hungry, eat wholegrain energy bars or a banana.
– Just before the walk, it is necessary to have a good stretch and warm up to avoid muscle injuries – especially if you’re a beginner!
– Start with a slow walk, which should take 10 min and then slowly accelerate.
If you breathe faster, but you can still say a normal sentence – you achieved the perfect pace.

Equipment
The clothes and footwear must be adapted to this activity.
You need to wear running trainers – as comfortable as possible and good support for the joints. Preferably, you can chose natural materials so that your legs won’t sweat.

There are no rules for clothing – it is important to be made of cotton and to be comfortable.

Always carry a bottle of water. A good trick is to take two bottles of water that can serve as weights. This way you increase the effort and the number of calories burned.

Note:
It is best to gradually enter into the routine of power walking. If you do it abruptly you may cause muscle fatigue. Follow the reaction of your body on a given pace and gently accelerate depending on your condition.

Top 3 Vegetables Which Eliminate Cellulite

July 7, 2015 by Amy Brown

In the fight against cellulite, the most important is a healthy diet with plenty of fruit, but it must not forget the vegetables. Vegetables contain many vitamins and minerals that are necessary for the establishment and strengthening of connective tissue.

Diet based on vegetables, combined with a lower intake of sugars (simple carbohydrates), ie higher protein intake and water, helps in the establishment of normal levels of estrogen in the blood and normalization of blood sugar, which are also important factors against cellulite.

Remember that in the fight against cellulite, and unwanted weight, you need to permanently change eating habits. Fundamental change in diet can certainly help your connective tissue to be stronger and the ugly bumps on the skin of the buttocks and thighs to be reduced.

Why vegetables?

Fresh vegetables contain more vitamin C than some fruits. Given that vitamin C plays a major role in the establishment and strengthening of connective tissue, the best thing to do with the desire for smooth skin on the body’s daily menu is to include vegetables in your meals, especially fresh.

Let salad of fresh vegetables become part of yours everyday life, also try to include cooked vegetables in your lunch and dinner. Fresh spinach, red peppers, broccoli, kale, sprouts and parsley are truly vitamin C “bombs”.

On connective tissue strengthening affect certain amino acids and selenium, which are also found in many fruits and vegetables. Potassium, in turn, helps against fluid retention and harmful substances in the cells, and among the vegetables that are rich in potassium are tomatoes, cauliflower and asparagus.

We present you the vegetables that are the best 3 when it comes to fighting cellulite.

Sweet potatoes

This is one of the oldest vegetables and is one of the most nutritious and healthiest types, ideal against cellulite. Contains potassium, vitamin C and E and beta carotene. Sweet potato is number one among the vegetables in improving circulation and elimination of toxins, it is actually two most important things when you want to remove the cellulite.

Broccoli

Broccoli is a great fighter against cellulite because of three reasons. First, broccoli contains alpha lipoic acid, which helps to prevent hardening of collagen. Second, broccoli is a concentrated source of vitamin C and is an excellent source of dietary fiber. And third, it is one of the best sources of calcium among foods that are not milk, making it a great fighter against cellulite.

Brussels sprouts

Brussels sprouts are excellent in the fight against cellulite. Despite the large amount of vitamin C they contain material which is called indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which once inserted into the body through food, it turns into di-indolyl methane (DIM), which helps the enzymes in the liver to block the production of 16-OH estrogen, which is responsible for the deterioration of collagen.

Do not forget!

When you cook the vegetables, be sure to cook on lower heat, with less water or on steam. That way you save more vitamins in it. Also, remember that in the fight against cellulite, despite proper diet and sufficient water intake, and regular physical activity certainly helps .
