How to burn more calories without moving! The secret... The Thermic effect of food (Sounds complicated but it really isn’t)
This is the term used to describe the calories our body uses in order to consume and process food. (Bite, chew, swallow, digest etc) For most people, this total number amounts for about 7-10% of calories consumed based on the Standard English diet. So if you consume 2500 calories a day you will use 175 (7%) of them biting, chewing, digesting etc… so you will actually absorb 2325 calories that day. If we break this down: Protein has a Thermic Effect of 25-30% Carbohydrates about 5-10% Fruits around 15% Vegetables 30% Fats between 0-3% So… If you exchange 100 calories of carbohydrates for 100 calories of protein you would actually burn off another 20-25 calories each day! If you swapped 100 calories of fat for 100 calories of vegetables you would eat up an extra 27-30 calories each day! If you switch from the person who eats a very mediocre diet (cereals, sandwiches, ready meals)
using only 7% of calories for processing their food, to eating a much healthier diet higher in protein, low in sugar and high in vegetables and fruit you can easily increase your thermic effect. Now you would probably use around 16% of your calories. So… if you still ate the same amount of calories as before but changed the type of calories, 16% of those calories would be used to process and digest your food. Now you will be using 400 of them for processing and digesting and you would then only absorb 2100 each day. That means you’d burn an extra 225 calories a day by doing absolutely nothing! The equivalent of about 20-25 minutes running on the treadmill every single day! That would mean you would burn an extra 82,125 calories each year! The equivalent to losing 2 stone of body fat!
Small changes add up to a big difference in the long term so every little thing you do or small change you make all add up to a massive change overall and help you to reach all the goals you are aiming for. Make a small change today to help you reach your goals and stick to it and you’ll be surprised at what a positive effect it can have on your life.

The Secret to a Beautiful lawn... ...revealed with the help, advice and expertise of the UK’s leading lawn treatment company. GreenThumb specialise in lawn care treatments and are the original lawn treatment provider in the UK with over 25 years experience. We are the UK’s leading lawn treatment company and now look after the lawns of over 450,000 customers through our network of 220 branches nationwide. Here are six tips on how to keep your lawn looking beautiful throughout the summer:
1. Grass is made up of 93per cent water and needs to be watered to survive. Watering your lawn for just 20 minutes a day, three times a week is enough to keep your lawn green throughout the summer. It costs around £1 a week if you are on a meter. 2. Try to water lawns in the evening when the temperature is lower and the sun low in the sky. GreenThumb have created the Oasis Treatment Programme, a water conserver that can cut down the amount of water needed for the lawn by up to 80per cent.
3.
short, which leaves the grass stressed and at risk of disease. For a healthy lawn you need to mow your grass no lower than 1¼ inches long. Make sure your lawnmower is regularly serviced and don’t fill it on the lawn or you’ll risk spilling petrol on the grass which can kill it.
4. More homeowners complain about moss on their lawn than any other problem. When moss is present, it’s often a sign that the grass isn’t as healthy as it should be. One cause is thatch - leftover grass cuttings - which allows water to collect on the surface and provides the perfect breeding ground for moss. GreenThumb recommends scarifying your lawn to allow the grass to grow healthily. 5. Make sure your lawnmower is regularly serviced and don’t fill it on the lawn or you’ll risk spilling petrol on the grass 6. GreenThumb’s new treatment programmes will get your lawn into perfect shape this year. With discounts of up to 22% and the option to spread the cost over the 12 months with Direct Debit, the ability to have a beautiful lawn has never been easier or more cost effective to achieve.
Millions of homeowners actually cut their lawn too

Basildon CSP Strategy 2012-15 “Reducing Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour in the Basildon Borough 2012-2015” outlines how Basildon Community Safety Partnership (CSP) will work together to deliver the priorities identified within it, in an effort to improve the lives of the local community, make Basildon a safer place and reduce the fear of crime over the next three years. The Partnership as a whole has identified four key strategic priorities and has agreed to focus its efforts and resources to implement strategies and develop year-on-year action plans for the next 3 years to:
• Reduce Crime and Re-offending • Reduce Anti-Social Behaviour • Prevent and Reduce Alcohol and Drug Related Crime • Engage the Community to Tackle Crime and ASB The action plans, developed year-on-year, will underpin delivery of the priorities outlined above and will set out how local agencies will work together to stimulate activity across the Borough, focusing on those activities that add value as a result of being delivered in partnership. The strategy was refreshed in April 2013 and is now available to download at www.basildon.gov.uk
WORKING TOGETHER FOR A SAFER BOROUGH
Basildon • Billericay • Wickford • Pitsea • Laindon
Together Against Crime 2013 This year’s Together Against Crime event is taking place on Thursday 25 July 2013 from 10:00am to 3:00pm in Basildon Town Centre. The aim of the event is to provide members of the community with an opportunity to express their views on crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour by completing a survey the outcomes of which are used to identify priorities and develop activity. For the third year running there will be a Community Stage with a variety of group and solo performances from young people all aged 19 and under, offering them the opportunity to showcase their talent in public. There will also be a marquee with a variety of information stands hosted by a number of agencies such as Basildon Borough Council, Essex Police, Essex Fire and Rescue Service, Basildon Women’s Aid, Neighbourhood Watch and Vitality. If you would like further information about the event please contact Kaylie Hopcroft, Community Safety Officer at kaylie.hopcroft@basildon.gov.uk or call 01268 294512.

Can I Get a Mortgage? Ron Radway has encouraging news for Mortgage Hunters With all the issues in the Eurozone, the UK in the midst of yet another recession, & the Media reporting nothing but doom & gloom, one could be forgiven for thinking that getting a mortgage at the moment would be nigh impossible. But, actually, that could not be further from the truth, with Lenders rediscovering an appetite to lend competition has returned to the Market Place. The Big 4 are heavily jostling with each other for Market Share, Provincial Lenders setting the pace on market leading rates, which leads to highly competitive products. Indeed the Fixed Rates currently available, are the best value for the consumer in living memory.
initiatives are making life a little easier for the First Time Buyer. Many lenders accept Gifted Deposits, so the Bank of Mum & Dad, or Grandparents by releasing equity from their homes, are helping out nowadays. Of course, it is not all plain sailing, & the good news is counter balanced by more restrictive criteria in the form of tight Credit Scoring, strict affordability parameters, and stringent income proofs. If you are looking to obtain a mortgage in the near future, you should seek Independent Mortgage Advice to explore all your options, & you can find an Adviser in your area by visiting www.unbiased.co.uk Ron Radway is a Mortgage Consultant at the OneCall Financial Advice Centre.
Higher Loan to Value Mortgages, with Deposits of 10% now common- For further details visit www.onecallonline.co.uk place (even 5% available), realistic Guarantor Schemes & Government or call 01268 799211
