Growing Brussel Sprouts
Brussels Sprouts are notorious for their low yields, but if you enjoy their distinctive taste they are worth growing - or trying to grow - in the garden. They grow easily from seed, but are quite fussy when it comes to both soil and weather conditions. Get it right and you'll get more than a meal out of each plant.
Indigenous to Europe, little cabbage-like Brussels Sprouts are part of the brassica family. In fact they are a variety of Brassica oleracea, as are broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower, which are all filled to the brim with vitamins and minerals.
Brussels Sprouts take a long time to mature (as much as 26 to 30 weeks) and produce a crop. This is one of the reasons it is so important to prepare the soil really well prior to planting. They like a rich soil that is high in nitrogen, so be extra careful that the manure or compost you use in the soil is well rotted. If it isn't, it will draw nitrogen out of the soil. You may want to add bagged nitrogen or urea to speed up the decomposition process. Loosen the soil and add a complete fertiliser like 2:3:2 (nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium or N-P-K) and then tread the soil firmly. That's another thing Brussels are picky about: they demand a good, firm soil. They also like the soil to have an optimum pH of between 6.0 and 7.0, so do a pH test and adjust if necessary. You can do this by adding agricultural lime to the soil.
When to Plant Brussel Sprouts
In the southern hemisphere Brussels Sprouts are usually propagated by seeds sown in seedbeds or seed boxes from late December until late February. In the northern hemisphere it is more usual to sow seeds in March and April. Sow the seeds in shallow drills and cover with about 10 mm of soil pressed down firmly over the seeds. These vegetables prefer cool, moist growing conditions - they don't do well in hot weather - so keep them well watered while they germinate. They should start to pop out of the ground after a week to ten days.
Your next challenge will be insect and disease control. Cabbage moths, cabbage root flies, clubroot, downy mildew and black rot are all common problems. All the brassicas gain protection from being planted near to celery, sage or rosemary, so consider this companion planting approach rather than reaching for chemical sprays and pesticides.
The seedlings should be planted out about a month after sowing, when they are between 75 mm and 100 mm high. Generally rows should be about 600 mm apart and the plants should be between 450 mm and 600 mm from one another. They grow quite tall and you might want to stake them to prevent them collapsing and growing sideways.
About a month after transplanting, feed around the plants with a little 2:3:2 or 3:2:1, depending on your soil quality. You can also add liquid fertiliser (for example one made with seaweed) every two or three weeks.
Even though Brussels Sprouts do develop quite a substantial root system, they also benefit from having the soil drawn up around the stem while they are growing.
As the plants develop you will notice the sprouts starting to develop along the stem, above each leaf. If conditions are right, these will develop and about three months after being transplanted, you should be able to start picking from the base of the stem. Usually the lower leaves will start to turn yellow when the sprouts are ready for picking and you can pull them off and harvest the vegetables. You will also notice that the top of Brussels Sprouts plants develop a head that looks rather like a cabbage. If you prune this off early on, it should increase your yield of sprouts.
Finally, if you are lucky enough to have success with your sprouts, try roasting them with a sprinkling of olive oil and garlic. When cooked, top with flaked almonds that have been toasted in a pan with a little butter.
The sprouts start to form on the stem where each leaf branches off.

Antioxidants to Help You Look Younger
How perplexing is it, all this anti aging stuff! What to do, what not to do, what is right and what is wrong. In the end you need to do what you feel is right for you.
Reading, researching and experimenting with all the different foods, supplements and creams out there, you are sure to find what suits.
'Anti aging' is the new buzz word on everybody's lips, and everyone wants to look younger than they really are. Some people will start worrying about looking younger as early as their 20's. When you think about it, we have a lot of pressure put upon us to remain youthful looking. This has been going on since the time of Cleopatra, who would have milk baths to retain her beautiful looks.
We also have to contend with worrying about whether curly eyebrows are in, and thick hair is out. Or is that, thick eyebrows are out and thin hair is in, or thick hair in and thin eyebrows out! Confused?
Taking supplements to compliment your healthy lifestyle is always a good start, or to replace the vitamins and minerals you are missing out on because of such a hectic lifestyle.
Finding a moisturiser for your skin type; try looking for ones which are all natural and have organic ingredients. A lot of the chemicals used in creams today can cause more damage in the long run then they are worth.
Eat plenty of foods rich in 'antioxidants', another buzz word on everybody's lips.
It is amazing how good you will feel about yourself, when you start eating properly. If you do have a busy life style, there are plenty of ways to eat healthy on the run.
Always have a piece of fruit in your bag, pack a small container of nuts and grains, such as prunes, fresh dates, goji berries, almonds and sesame seeds. If you feel like something sweet, eat some dark chocolate as this is far better for you than milk chocolate.
If you smoke cigarettes and don't feel like giving up just yet! Take extra Vitamin C, or if you're feeling run down take Mega B or a good Multivitamin.
Make yourself a smoothie if you are in a rush, put in banana, kiwi fruit, pear, honey L.S.A (linseeds, sesame seeds and almonds), put in anything else you can think of and would like. Take wheatgrass if you don't eat enough vegetables, there are plenty of ways in which you can work a healthy diet into your busy life.
Once you start to make these small changes, you will certainly feel a difference. Just taking the step towards making more informed choices about what you are putting into your body is a good feeling. So lets learn to love ourselves for whom and how we look, and enhance our beauty by having clear skin, shiny hair and strong fingernails, like we once did, by living a healthy lifestyle.

Why Raw Almond Butter is So Healthy
Many people are trying to find simple health solutions that they can incorporate into everyday life. For example, making subtle diet changes, such as replacing red meat with turkey, can make a huge difference. These kinds of diet changes have led a lot of people to using raw almond butter for sandwiches and spreads instead of things like peanut butter. The health benefits support doing things like this and simple changes can add up to make a big difference.
The reason why almond products are so healthy is because they are made from almonds. Almonds contain plenty of important vitamins and antioxidants, and some scientific studies even claim that almonds can help with memory loss, and should be investigated further as a way to reduce certain types of cancer. They are also high in fiber and other things of that nature that we normally do not get enough of. The health benefits of almonds have been recognized by different cultures for a long time, making them undoubtedly one of the healthier food out there.
Almond butter is also hypoallergenic, meaning for people with peanut allergies this is the perfect solution. People often switch from peanut butter to these products for that allergy reason. Raw almond butter also contains monounsaturated fats, which is a much healthier alternative to saturated fats that are common in foods like peanut butter. All of these health benefits are big reasons why families are switching to almond products over peanut butters.
The way raw butter out of almonds is made also helps to make it healthy. You want to concentrate on things like raw almond butter, which keep the almonds uncooked. When fruit and vegetables are cooked they often lose their nutrition value. Because of the cooking process of low heat, raw butters keep all of the nutritional value of almonds, a big plus for health conscious individuals.
Taking small steps like switching foods can make a big difference in your health. Almonds taste great, and almond type butter is a great replacement for higher fat and less nutritious items. Picking the right almond products is important, but recommended for people trying to make a little bit of a difference to their health.

Best Tips to Soften Nails
Has your nail ever broken off suddenly?
Sometimes, people suffer from brittle nails and undergo embarrassment due to uneven shapes. Although not a medical disease, this is a common feature in almost 25% of the population. The sign for such deficiencies in nails is that they break off or peel away at the free ends in horizontal strips. Exposure to repeated detergents, soaps, water and harsh chemicals as those found in polish removers may lead to such problems. There are many other reasons that can cause nails to peel like Psoriasis, alopecia, fungi infections, endocrine disorders and even malnutrition leads to such breakage in nails.
Malnutrition sometimes becomes the leading cause of it and deficiency of B complex affects the health. Taking supplements helps reduce such nails making then softer and nourished. While lack of Folic acid and Vitamin C leads to hang nails, deficiency of Omega 3 can lead cracks.
Women who use polish removers extensively have a higher chance of getting brittle nails as most polish removers have acetone which robs the nail of its moisture content leaving dull, dry looks, after contact. It is best to reduce the use of polish removers to once a week and touch up your nails during the week, if they tend to chip. There are many therapeutic cosmetic moisturizers that give temporary relief by preserving the moisture content in your nails.
One of the best ways to rehydrate your nails is to soak your fingertips in warm water and then dry them gently. Apply essential oils like Tea Tree oils diluted in avocado or almond oil, and rub the nails gently for a few minutes. Repeat this once or twice a week and you will notice that they are shiny and pink. Filing properly also helps reduce the breaking so always file gently and do not apply any pressure on the top. Use gentle herbal and organic oil based nail nourishments to keep your nail moisturized and healthy.
Sometimes, fungi growth inside cuticles also leads to nail breakages but using Tree oil applications inhibits bacterial and fungi growth. However, you should show it to a dermatologist, if this condition persists. So, if you suffer from brittle nails, avoid exposure to water, chemicals and acetone based polish removers. Use glass files to shape and moisturize your nails after exposure to water. Thus nail care is essential part of your grooming regimen.
