Donald Trump has teamed up with a nutritional products company Ideal Health renaming it into The Trump Network.

Donald wants to “help” people suffering the stressful economic crisis. But if the company is named after the millionaire, it doesn’t guarantee the success. Daniel Howard, marketing professor at Southern Methodist University explains:

“People are more easily persuaded when they want to believe in something. Someone comes along with a big name like Donald Trump and pitches riches, it captures peoples’ attention and interest. If he made so much money, they think, ‘I’m glad I’m on board.’”

It sounds suspiciously.

He added the ominous fact:

“Multilevel marketing is a tough business, and most people don’t make much money.”

Probably, when it comes to the Trump Empire, there isn’t a word of nutritional products, but money first of all.

When it comes to lack of money for good medicine we often use homemade recipes. And as it turns out they can be even more effective than costy pills or ointments.

This is just the case with sugar. I’m sure few of you know that it can be good for curing small wounds. But as Moses Murandu, a senior nurse in a British hospital, says it is the traditional African remedy.

The man was raised in Zimbabwe and had a hard live living without much medicine to cure woulds his family members and other villagers had. As a child, Moses watched his father put crushed sugar cane on wounds. When Moses moved to Britain he was very much surprised to know that in this highly civilized country no one knew about healing properties of sugar as he used to think this was a widely used treatment.

So, the man decided to prove the remedy worked and had a six-month study which involved 21 patients at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham. The patients’ wounds had not responded to conventional treatment.

In the result it was proved that pouring granulated sugar on to bed sores, leg ulcers or amputations before dressing could kill the bacteria that prevents healing and causes chronic pain. Bacteria need water to survive but sugar draws water from the wound into the dressing.

Mr Murandu believes his technique could save the NHS billions.

I guess there are hardly a few people who don’t love olives. We value these little berries for their exotic taste and when eating them we rarely think about the use they bring for our health.

However, it has been known for long that olives contain a complex of substances strenthening cell membranes. Thanks to these substances each olive consumed by us influences well the functioning of cardio-vescular system, liver and digestive organs.

For example, if one wants to open his bowels and get rid of stones in gallbladder he has to swallow several olives daily without removing seeds from them. This procedure is very useful for elderly people as well, for strenthening bones and improving the work of liver.

Olive oil is the most wholesome of all natural oils. Even when heated it doesn’t produce carcinogens.

Besides, olive oil is an effective loss weight product as it regulates the assimilation of salts and fats. If you want to lose weight, take one teaspoon of olive oil every morning or eat 10-12 olives to see the result soon.

Eat olives and be healthy!

People try to eat healthily nowadays! That’s probably a great tendency but until it becomes an obsession that can be bad for your health, experts warn.

People who try to have wholesome meals steering clear of the entire food groups risk harming their mental and physical wellbeing.

Scientists have fixed a not ordinary healthy-food-obsessed-people behavior called orthorexia nervosa. The middle-class, over 30 and well-educated people fall under the group of sufferers from orthorexia nervosa.

The difference between them and anorexia patients is that the last restrict the quantity of the food they eat, while the orthorexia sufferers, named after the Greek for ‘right or true’, fixate on quality.

It seams that healthy eaters don’t know what does it mean to eat healthily because the ‘rules’ vary from person to person, and the drive to eat only the healthiest foods can lead to salt, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, gluten, wheat, soya, yeast, dairy foods and corn being eliminated from the diet.

Foods tainted by pesticides or that contain artificial additives such as MSG are often also ditched. One orthorexic is reputed to eat only yellow foods.

Ursula Philpot, chairman of the British Dietetic Association’s mental health group, said:

“I am definitely seeing significantly more orthorexics than just a few years ago. Other eating disorders focus on the quantity of food but orthorexics can be overweight or look normal.

They are solely concerned with the quality of the food they are putting in their bodies, refining and restricting their diets according to their personal understanding of which foods are truly “pure”.”

There is no blame if one spends some time to read the latest food research and plan menus. But it shouldn’t be turned into some crazy behavior that brings health disorders.

I guess every celebrity has her own secrets on how to look perfect at glam events. Now we are talking about Ciara and her way to fit into designer clothes when she needs that.

Ciara looks great and someone might think she is always on a diet, but actually she isn’t. However, when she needs to attend a gorgeous party or a red carpet event she cuts out fatty foods from her daily eating regime.

She said:

When I’m preparing for an event, sometimes I have to wear samples from the designers. I make sure I’m conscious of my eating before that day comes, because I want to be able to fit in that dress, you know what I mean?”

Beside the right eating, Ciara spends hours exercising and takes her time to tone her butt to make sure she looks good in front of the cameras.

The singer comments:

When I work out, I love to do my squats and my lunges because it’s all about the tush. I need to get that sitting up pretty nicely. Lunges and squats are my favourite.

When I’m really, really focused, I’ll train five or six days a week for one hour. I do light weight training.”

So, a lot of training together with a strict diet and you look as beautiful and fit as Ciara! Go for it!

Well, I know many of you, my dear female readers, will say I’m telling nonsense here, but it’s not me, it’s British experts who have revealed that. The results of the new psychological study have shown that women who want to lose weight should share their mealtimes with men.

Women do eat less when having a meal with men, no matter who these men are, husbands, dates or just colleagues. This has a purely psychological explanation: women order smaller portions because they are subconsciously controlled by a desire to signal attractiveness.

Tests have revealed that women order smaller or less calorific meals if eating with a man but they eat a normal portion when dining with another woman.

Besides, in mixed-gender groups women still order less, and the more men in the group the smaller the portion is chosen. However, in all-female groups women ate as much as they wanted or even more, with lots of ice-cream and chocolate.

The research also included men and the results show that men eat the same amount of food no matter who they eat it with.

I’m not sure this is the right decision but probably for some people it will work. The fact is that the Food Standards Agency in the UK is going to reduce a chocolate bar in order to cut daily calorie intake.

Confectioners will be asked to make voluntary changes to the size of their snacks. According to the plans by 2012 all chocolate bars will weigh no more than 50g. To compare, currently Mars bars are 58g.

Besides, chocolate producers have been asked to sell bite-size bars as single items rather than as part of multibags. And promotion of large supersize items – such as the Maltesers ‘Big Bag’ – will be discouraged.

Food Standards Agency plans include not only restrictions on confectionery consumption but on fizzy drinks too. Within six years the size of containers for fizzy drinks is to be reduced as well. Thus, the drinks will be sold in 250 ml containers instead of standard 330ml for most brands.
