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.

Essex Gardening Section 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. Millions of homeowners actually cut their lawn too 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.

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.

www.TheDannyGreenFund.org.uk The Danny Green Fund continues to have great success although still in our first year of running. We now have Three Patron‛s Jessica Judd, Max Whitlock and Rebecca Harris MP. Who are actively supporting our Charity in generating awareness of Brian Tumours.

There are other events raised in next couple of weeks for many of Danny‛s mate doing a Charity Paint Ball. Please watch out on Facebook or local papers to confirm latest events that you may which to support.

We have also been to the Essex County Council and they have agreed to distribute out the Head smart Brain Tumour awareness packs out to each Headmaster in Essex. As part of our commitWe have had a few very successful ment to raise awareness for parents, events over the last couple of months schools, GP‛s and Hospitals as this is the all raising much needed funds; including key to reduce the time it takes to diagan event called the Long Good Saturday nose a Brain Tumour as we typically take held in London by a family who heard 9 weeks in the UK compared to Europe about our Charity and benefitted inditypically who take 3 or 4 weeks. We vidually and wanted to raise money for want every parent to understand the the Charity. This event was extremely generic symptoms of Brain Tumours as successful, which ran all day with lots of we do with Meningitis people attending. More recently we We are currently working with Rebecca just held a Quiz night in Leigh Beck Harris and other MP‛s to develop a School which also was very successful.

Parliamentary paper to push the Government to prioritise Brain Tumours to enable greater share of the Cancer Research funding into Brain tumours as currently they only get up to 5% of the money, which is scandalous given Brian Tumours/Cancer is THE biggest Cancer Killer of Children and Young people. And the number diagnosed goes up every year by 5% year on year. We are only a tiny charity with a handful of people working very hard to make a difference. If anyone would like to arrange an event, help with running the charity, contact companies for auction prizes etc we could really with some help.
