Benefits of Probiotics

During my travels, somewhere along the way, I have picked up the habit of drinking probiotics as a breakfast shot.  I usually drink them in a little shot drink made by the company Yukult.  I never really knew why I did it, but I like the tart taste of it and was told it was good for me.  Not until today did I know exactly why it was good for me.

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are consumed daily to help balance the digestive system and maintain overall health.  Probiotics can be found in other foods such as kefir, sauerkraut, sourdough bread, pickles, tempeh, miso, plain unflavored yogurt, kimchi, kombucha tea,
dark chocolate, and microalgae.

Usually bacteria is thought of as something that causes colds and other diseases, but the human body is full of both good and bad.  The "good" or "helpful" bacteria are referred to as probiotics and can help prevent and treat a wide variety of ailments.  Below are just a few benefits that I have ran across in my studies.

Digestive Benefits

---

The human digestive tracts are filled with thousands of different types of living bacteria.  This bacteria help us break down and absorb nutrients from the foods we eat.  These bacteria can die or are killed when we take medicines such as antibiotics.  Probiotics can be used to repopulate the digestive tract with these healthful bacteria we need.

Probiotics have been known to help people suffering with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other intestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, cramps, and constipation.  For this reason, most people use probiotics for overall digestive management and weight maintenance.

Allergy

---

Still being researched, but interesting to find out.  When infants received probiotics in-vitro, they had higher levels of tissue inflammation.  This is thought to trigger the immune system and reduce allergy incidence.  There is also a 30 percent reduction of instance of childhood eczema in these infants.

Immunity

---

One of the main functions of healthful bacteria is to stimulate immune responce.  Consuming enough probiotics, a person can help maintain a healthy immune system by increasing the production from lymphcytes which will boost the immune system.

Heart Health

---

Probiotics have been known to lower cholesterol by breaking up bile salts and decreasing cholesterol from being absorbed into the body.

Oral Health

---

Probiotics kills bactera that causes tooth decay and lessens the effects of gingivitis.  Daily doses of this healthy bacteria will also reduce bleeding gums.

Urinary Health

---

Regular probiotics can help prevent urinary tract infections by maintaining a higher population of healthy bacteria on the tract's adherence sites.  It also has been found to prevent yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis in women as well.

Earn Money While Shopping With Ibotta

A friend of mine introduced me to the app called Ibotta.  She said you really earn money while shopping for things you normally buy like milk, eggs, veggies, or even clothing.  I was very skeptical and ended up downloading the app onto my phone.  After toying around with it for a while, I realized it really was legit.  This is a great way for me to earn extra money.  As many of you know, I am a traveler and never know where I will end up at any given time.  This app travels with me and don't require me to carry paper coupons.  I love it.  It also links in with my frequent shopper cards from many of the stores I frequent.

Once you download the program and create a login, you just need to browse the available rebates either by category or specific store.  Some of the Categories and Stores I have listed below.  You click on the item you wish to buy, watch a short 10 to 30 second video, view a recipe, or answer a few questions about a product to unlock the rebate.  It is as simple as that.  At this time, the rebate will be added to your Shopping List.

They have mostly name brand items on their rebate list but there are a lot of product types that they refer to as Any Brand Rebates.  They consist of onions, milk, eggs, tomatoes, bread, frozen pizza, frozen veggies, and  ice cream just to name a few.  I have also noticed that these rebates pop up on a weekly or bi weekly basis to use.  So just because you use it once, don't mean it will not come up available again.

Once you go shopping and buy the items on your shopping list, you just scan their UPC code and scan or take a picture of your receipt and CHING!  You just made free money.  Who doesn't like free money?  EXACTLY!

You can also join Teams if you are invited to join like with this link here I provided.  This will allow you to join my team.  Then we get extra money for being on teams.  It is a win win.

Embed A Facebook Feed Into A Website

So in a past blog, I wrote Tip 12: Embed A Twitter Feed Into A Website and was asked if there was a way to embed Facebook into a website as well.  Facebook provides you with all the tools you need to do this.

If there is any way to embed any of your social media feeds into your website or blog, I would recommend doing so.  This way you have constant changing information appearing on your site without having to hand enter it each time or even knowing how to code.  With that said, lets get started.

The 7 simple steps to add a facebook feed to your site. 

Go to Facebook Developer Plugin Page
Click here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin.

Copy/Paste or Type the Facebook Page Website Address 
in the box that is labeled Facebook Page URL.

Pick the Settings You Desire for Your Plugin
Add width, height, show friends faces, hide cover photo, and show page posts.  You will be able to see what the end result of your options will look like on the bottom of the page.  (Just a note, for the width and height I use percentages instead of pixels to make it more mobile responsive.)

Click the "Get Code" button
The code you just created will pop up.

Copy the Code from Section 1
This code should be placed at the top of the desired page.  Facebook developers recommend to place it directly after the <body> tag.  It is the Javascript SDK coding that is needed for the plugin to function.

Copy the Code from Section 2
This code should be placed where ever on the page you wish the Facebook Plugin itself to appear.

Save your New Code to Your Site
After adding your new code to your site where you want it, save it and upload it if necessary.

 

If you are looking for just adding the "Like" or "Share" buttons to your site, check back at a later date.

Just Beet It

I have ate beets for years and really was an acquired taste for me.  As a kid, I thought beets were only able to be consumed when pickled.  I didn't like them at all.  It wasn't until later in life when I had a roasted beet and enjoyed it.  Then it wasn't until my travels abroad that I found out that you could eat the beet green as well.

Brief History

---

The beet originated in prehistoric times and grew wild along the coastlines of Asia, Europe, and North Africa. Back then, only the beet greens or tops were consumed. Ancient Romans were the first peoples to cultivate and consume the beet root itself. Invading tribes of Rome were the ones responsible of spreading beets through northern Europe and then introducing them to the rest of the world.

Picture from TandomWorld.com

Beets or sugar beets are very sweet and contain the highest sugar content of all vegetables. Both their root and greens (aka tops) are good for human consumption and are packed with nutrients. Please note that beets aren't just the plain Jane red ball that most people picture when they hear the word. Beet farmers have developed many different varieties including gold or yellow or candy cane.Besides tasting great, eating beets and their greens can benefit the body.

Benefits

---

Detoxify and cleanse the body.
Beets contain betalin pigments that aid in breaking down other toxins bound to other molecules so they can be excreted from the body. In laymen's terms they work as a purifier for the blood and liver.

Contain natural beta carotene.
Beta carotene helps prevent lung cancer and age related blindness called cataracts.  The powerful phytonutrients that give beets their deep red color may help prevent various forms of cancer.

Can be used to test stomach acid.

If you eat a lot of beets, your pee will turn pink or red if you have low stomach acid.

Beets are high in immune-boosting vitamin C which can help prevent asthma symptoms.  fiber, and essential minerals like potassium which are essential for healthy nerve and muscle function. They contain manganese which is good for your liver, bones, kidneys, and pancreas. Beets also contain the B vitamin folate, which helps reduce the risk of birth defects.

Beets are one of the few sources of betaine, a nutreint that protects cells, enzymes, and proteins from environmental stress. It is also fights inflamation, improves vascular risk factors, protects internal organs, enhances performance, and helps prevents numerous chronic diseases.

Nature's Viagra.
Since Romans were the first to eat the beet root, they found it to be natures aphrodisiac. They contain high amounts of boron, which is directly effects the production of sex hormones in humans. It will boost your libido, increased fertility, sperm mobility, and a reduction in frigidity in the bedroom.

Help extend endurance and improve performance.
Beets contain nitric oxide is a powerful vasodilator and is commonly used in supplements to give bodybuilders to help with endurance. It increases performance it is involved in increasing blood flow to the muscles, which makes it easier for you to produce energy. It also maintains blood pressure and controls muscle contraction.

Beets contain nitrates naturally and its juice may lower blood pressure in just a few hours. It lowers systolic blood pressure by an average of 4 to 5 points. Nitric oxide, in turn, helps to relax and dilate your blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.

Beets are a high source of energy.
At the same time they are low in calories and high in sugar (although the sugar is released into your system gradually, as opposed to chocolate). Very few foods found in the natural world are as beneficial as beets in this regard. Beets are a wonderful addition to any dietary need. With their high volume of nutrients, delicious taste, and multitude of uses, anyone can jump right into beets without missing a beat.

Beets help your mental health.
Beets contain betaine, the same substance that is used in certain treatments of depression. It also contains trytophan, which relaxes the mind and creates a sense of well-being, similar to chocolate. Beets can also lower your blood pressure. So if you’re already steamed about not eating beets, you can get a two-fer by diving into them right away.

Embed A Twitter Feed Into A Website

I recently was asked to embed a Twitter feed into a clients website.  After I launched the site, I was asked how I did this.  So instead of just emailing that one person and letting him know, I thought I would write a blog about it.  This way many people could benefit from the information as well.

Please note that you do not just have to post a specific Twitter feed on your site. During this process, I found out that you can also embed Favorites, Search Words, Lists, or Collections from any given account.

Embedding a Twitter feed and any other social media into a site is a great way to allow non-coding site owners the ability to update sections of their site without having to attempt to edit the website code itself.  This feature is also immediate with no delay in data or news getting to the feed.  I would encourage any website owner to do this.  I will also blog about how to do this with other forms of social media as well at a later date and time.  Keep checking back often.  Or if you wish to see one sooner than later, email me.

The 8 simple steps below will allow you to embed a twitter feed into a website with ease.

1. Sign into a Twitter account, please note it doesn't have to be the account you wish to embed into your site.
2. Go click on your avatar up in the right corner and then go down to Settings.
3. Once you are in your Settings, go click on Widgets.
4. Click on the Create New button.
5. Type the Twitter Username you are wishing to embed in the top line.
6. Click through the Options you wish to show and then customize some of the design by defining the Height, Theme, and Link Color.
7. Click the Create Widget button.
8. Copy & paste this code to your website.
