Helpful Hints Eating After 6:00 PM

Eating meals in the evening, should include a program to exercise, burning off calories. If your not able to work off all of your edibles with exercise, then you should be sure eat light caloric foods. Vegetables and fluids as warm tea, are a great support to help you to feel full and add moisture into the digestive track.

Remember that all sweeteners are not the same. Sweet tonics, soda's and some juices contain more than water. Be sure to read the labels. Chocolates (low sugar ones) actually serves to curb appetites' in small doses. A researched report identifies that when 3 ounces of dark chocolate is consumed in a 30 day period will extend life for one year.

Live, Love & Prosper.

Use 1-2 dessert spoons in the final rinsing water when washing hair. For dandruff, massage rosemary vinegar thoroughly into the scalp 20 minutes before washing.
Preparation:
For drying, healthy branches should be cut from the rosemary plant and remove any dry or diseased leaves. Shake the plant gently to remove any insects, rinse with cool water pat dry. Wet herbs will mold and rot. Remove the lower leaves along the bottom inch or so of the branch. Bundle 4-6 branches together and tie in a bunch. The bundles will shrink as they dry. Make small bundles if you are trying to dry herbs with a high water content. Punch or cut several holes in a paper bag and place the herb upside down in the bag. Gather the ends of the bag around the bundle and tie closed. Make sure that the herbs are not crowded. Hang the bag upside down in a warm and airy room. After the herbs have dried, store them air tight containers, jars or ziploc bags. Then label and date the containers. The herbs will retain more flavor if you store the leaves. Crush them when you are ready to use them. Discard any herbs that show any signs of mold. Place the container in a cool dry place away from sunlight. they are best if used within a year as they will lose color and flavor.
Rosemary is an evergreen or perennial shrub with fragrance and needle like leaves. The name Rosemary
comes from the latin word Rosmarinus. It is best grown in light soil and full sun. Rosemary can grow up to 1.8m or 6 ft but commonly grows up to 1m or 3 ft. Rosemary is a plant that can withstand droughts. It is also native to Mediterranean. Prefers light soil and full sun. A sandy soil will fully satisfy its feeding needs. However it is tolerant to most soil conditions as long as they are not water logged. The plant will withstand severe frost if conditions are not windy and wet. April is the ideal time to plant Rosemary. Water well if conditions are dry and very little care is required throughout the year. Feed once a month with liquid fertilizer from April to October. Trim the side stems to keep the plant to the desired size. The best time to trim the plant is just after it has flowered. A strong stake can be used for support in the winter. The seeds can take up to two months to grow. Also Rosemary usually grows extremely well in large pots. The pots need to be reasonably deep because rosemary is a deep rooting herb. The pots should be filled with 20% sharp sand and 60% standard potting compost. Container grown plants are more likely to be affected by severe frost so move the containers or pots close to the house walls in the winter.
