Uses of Bamboo

First published April 2008, updated October 2010

I think my father has always rued the day he planted bamboo in the front
yard of the house I grew up in, much the same he regretted planted prickly
pear cactus icon smile Uses of Bamboo . I love my dear old Dad, but what the heck was he
thinking?

The bamboo became somewhat of a monster, sending out runners and shoots
throughout much of the yard, dozens of feet away from the main plant. These
young shoots were like spears that threatened anyone in bare feet.

No matter what he did – hacking, digging, poisoning, depriving it of water;
this thing just couldn’t be killed – in fact each attempt seemed to just spur
it on..

bamboo Uses of Bamboo

And this resilience also what makes bamboo such a wonderful plant for other
reasons

Bamboo is a type of grass of which there are around  1,400 species. I
don’t remember the type we had but I think it was a 4 letter cuss word judging
by what my father used to mumble each time he looked at it icon smile Uses of Bamboo . The attributes
vary between species, but generally speaking it is pest (and dad) resistant,
can grow in poor soils and in comparison to other crops, requires little
water.

When we think of bamboo, we usually think of Asia; but of all the species,
around 900 are tropical and 500 are temperate. North America has species of
bamboo in the Eastern and Southeastern United States. There’s even several
species native to Australia.

Bamboo is the world’s fastest growing plant and some species of bamboo can
grow up to a foot a day in the right conditions. It’s this amazing growth rate
coupled with the “spear” type shoot I mentioned that led it to
unfortunately also being used as a torture device; the methods of use I won’t
go into.

On a more positive note, like industrial
hemp
, the bamboo plant has an extraordinary range of uses. Here’s just a
few:

baskets, bicycle frames, bird cages, blinds, boats, bridges, brushes,
buckets, canoes, carts, charcoal, chopsticks, clothing, cooking utensils,
diapers, fans, fences, firewood, fishing rods, food steamer, furniture, garden
tools, handicrafts, hats, incense, musical instruments, paper, particle board,
pens, pipes, ply ,roofing, scaffold, tableware, toilets, toothpicks, toys,
umbrellas, walking sticks

.. and that’s really only just scratching the surface. I have a bamboo cutting
board
that’s proven to be incredibly tough and particular resistant to
becoming whiffy, no matter what I food I use it for – including onions
(usually a no-no with wood-type boards).

Another important use for bamboo is food. The shoots are used in many Asian
countries as a vegetable – sometimes eaten raw, or steamed and boiled. I can’t
say I’m a big fan of it, but given a choice between a bowl of bamboo shoots
and a bowl of twigs, I’d certainly opt for the bamboo. China makes beer from
bamboo, which I’ve read is quite palatable. Given that, I’m thinking it may
also be useful in relation to the production of cellulosic ethanol.

There also appears to be some medicinal applications for bamboo – and even
perfume is being made from the stuff!

Bamboo – you can wear it, you can eat it, you can build with it. Bamboo may
increasingly replace plastics and wood products – what a marvellous gift from
nature!

Consider bamboo alternatives when purchasing items – despite some ongoing
debate about the exploitation of bamboo and associated production processes of
bamboo goods, it’s readily renewable, sustainable and still seems to have a
lot less environmental impact than chemical-ridden crops, destruction of old
growth forests and petroleum-derived materials.

Bamboo greenwashing avoidance tip: When clothes that proclaim they
are made from bamboo, check to see what proportions are used. You will pay
more for bamboo based clothing, so you want to ensure that what you’re getting
has a good level and not just a couple of percent. In terms of textiles, new
lower-impact technologies are increasingly being used to turn bamboo into
fiber suitable for clothing; however, for even lower-impact clothing, consider
hemp-based
textiles
  instead.

Not sure what greenwashing is? It’s where companies exaggerate the
environmental benefit of a product in their marketing . Learn more about avoiding

Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Synbiotics – What's Really Growing in Your Food!

Probiotics have been gaining in public attention and commercial success over the last few years.  Products like Dannon’s Activia yogurt in the US and Unilever’s Latta margarine in Germany showcase some of the potential health benefits from probiotics.  One excellent definition of a probiotic comes from a paper published by researcher Roy Fuller in 1989.  He characterized a probiotic as “a live microbial feed supplement which beneficially affects the host animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance.”  What that means in simple terms is that probiotic foods help to encourage the growth of healthy bacteria within your intestinal tract.  In addition to providing benefits specific to each strain of probiotic bacteria, an increase in numbers of helpful bacteria may also generally decrease the population of harmful bacteria in your gut.

While probiotics as a class are generally advantageous to digestion and health, it’s important to note that each genus, species, and strain of probiotic bacteria can often lend its own specific effects to the body.  While the evidence for many probiotic effects lacks bulletproof scientific confidence, many are supported by well designed studies.  It is worth taking a look at the results of just a few of the multitudinous studies linking the consumption of probiotic bacteria to health benefits.  For those of you not used to scientific notation, the name of the bacteria is in italics.

  • Lactobacillus casei Shirota – lower recurrence of bladder cancer.
  • L. acidophilus and B. infantis – reduced rates of overall mortality and necrotizing enterocolitis in infants.
  • L. rhamnosus GG and Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 for prevention and L. reuteri SD2222 for treatment – acute diarrhea caused by rotavirus.
  • Saccharomyces boulardii – reduced diarrhea in travelers and prevention of diarrhea caused by Clostridium difficile resulting from antibiotic treatment.
  • Mix of lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and streptococcus species – prevent relapse of inflammatory bowel disease symptoms.
  • B. lactis HN019 and L. rhamnosus HN001 – enhanced immunity in the elderly.

As you can see from the results of these studies, probiotics may play a role in cancer prevention, immunity, and the prevention and treatment of various infections.  However, it’s important to realize that there are many delivery systems for probiotic organisms and, depending upon the species and method of transit, not all (or none) of the helpful bacteria may survive to colonize the gut.

For those that do make the trip successfully, a technology complementary to probiotics has developed to aid their growth.  Prebiotics are food ingredients that are not digested by humans but that can be utilized by probiotic bacteria to spur their growth and aid their survival in the digestive tract.  They also can provide the building blocks used by bacteria to synthesize compounds beneficial to the host human.  Prebiotics generally take the form of carbohydrates and are often also classified as soluble fibers.  Popular prebiotics found in many food products include various types of oligosaccharides as well as inulin.  An interesting facet of prebiotic function is that the area of the digestive tract in which the prebiotic nourishes its target bacteria is dependent upon the chemical chain length of the prebiotic.  Short chain prebiotics are fermented more quickly, allowing them to feed bacteria inhabiting the primary areas of the digestive tract.  Longer chain prebiotics ferment more slowly and are consumed by bacteria living further along in the colon.  So-called “full-spectrum” prebiotics are comprised of compounds of many different chain lengths and are able to nourish the entire colon.

A final category of food product that is undergoing growth at the current time is the synbiotic.  Synbiotic foods contain both probiotic bacteria as well as prebiotic nutrients.  The idea is to get both the organism and its food in one shot.  Combining the live bacteria with nutrition to support it may help it to survive the sometimes fatal process of colonizing the gut.  While it’s a great idea, always be mindful when choosing synbiotics to ensure that both the bacteria and prebiotics are supplied at a level that has been shown to be beneficial.  As with all supplements, unscrupulous companies often include only miniscule amounts of expensive compounds simply for labeling and marketing claims.  Do your homework and make sure that you’re getting your money’s worth.

Diet Frequently Asked Questions

 

Question: What is the best way to lose weight?

Answer: The best way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more.  Men can lose weight faster than women; sorry gals.  Also it will vary depending on your starting weight.  Initial weight loss can be 5-15 lbs and then expect 2-4 pounds for men and 1-2 pounds for women.  It is easier to lose weight if you combine some form of exercise, like walking, with your permanent change in eating habits.  My top recommended diet that utilizes both of these dieting principles effectively is Strip That Fat.

Question: Are all diets safe?

Answer: Absolutely Not!  Eating grapefruits all day every day isn’t good for you.  Either is starvation diets, diet pills, and any fad diet that will cause your weight to yo-yo.  If you have never heard the term it is when you temporarily change your eating habits and then think; I’ve got this under control and return to your old ways.  This will actually cause you to gain an additional 5-10% more weight than where you started.  There have been many studies that prove that all diets are not safe and in fact, some can actually have a negative impact on your lifespan.  It is important that you choose diets that don’t not require you to starve, eat the same foods every day, or remove complete food groups from you diet.  These are not safe.

Question: What diet do you recommend and why?

Answer: I recommend Strip That Fat because of it’s core principles.  First, it gives you the freedom to choose foods you like eating.  There is no point in eating food at all if you don’t like what you are eating and a diet won’t work if you don’t like the food.

Secondly, it incorporates some exercise techniques that anyone can do…no matter if you are big or small.   They also provide “busy schedule” exercises as well because we all know there is not enough time in the day.

Lastly, it is a diet that focuses not only on short term weight loss, but long term.  This is very important because most diets are short lived and you gain all the weight back; the yo-yo effect.  Not the case with Strip That Fat.  You can read my full review Here.

Question: What is the quickest way to lose 10lbs in 2 weeks?

Answer: I have actually written a complete blog post about this.  You can read it here.

Question: Is exercise important to losing weight?

Answer: Absolutely.  Exercise is not only important for weight loss, it is also important for your own physical and mental health.  It carries many benefits that go far beyond weight loss.

Exercise plays an important role in maintaining a healthy body, and it makes it possible to burn calories and lose weight without starving your body and slowing your metabolism. But do not look to exercise as your sole method of weight loss.

Think how many times you’ve heard someone say, “I’ll have dessert and work it off later.” That desert can equal hours of exercise — something you’re  may not  actually do.  You are always better off to eat better than to exercise more.  It is much easier to NOT eat 100 calories than it is to burn 100 calories.

Question: How should I get rid of belly fat?

Answer: Contrary to what yo may read; You can’t spot reduce.  This means there is no way to just lose weight from one area of your body.  Just try and “crunch” your belly fat away it’s not possible.  Fat leaves in the reverse order you put it pn.  therefore if you got your belly first it will be the last area to leave when you burn fat.  
So the only way to lose belly fat is to properly diet and exercise and lose enough weight to to reduce the belly.

Question: Is caffeine good for weight loss?

Answer: This is a controversial topic in the medical community; some nutritionists may vary in their point of view.  I personally believe that caffeine can be good in terms of attaining energy and for improving mental attentiveness, but as for weight loss it may not be something that you get into a habit of doing.

Some experts think when drinking caffeine it could release hormones in your body. It is a fat gaining enzyme that the body releases because the body is put into a stress mode or that there is “danger ahead”. This is a fight or flight reflex that your body has. This might hamper your weight loss efforts so tread carefully.

 

Avoid Crash Dieting at All Costs

why think panic attacks

 

Do you understand panic attacks and what happen to you? If you’re a regular reader of this blog, I hope that you now understand a little better what is a panic attack, and is reassured by the knowledge that panic attacks are a measure of protection is taking his body, and which are extremely unpleasant, come to no harm.

Knowing this it is a relief, but does not answer the question of why began in the first place. Do you have probably asked yourself ‘ Why me? “at one time or another.”You may have asked her doctor why someone should experience symptoms of panic attack and not another; you may also have received a satisfactory response.

To be fair, the reason is probably because, until now, has not alone to identify the cause why begin panic attacks. However, there is much research suggesting possibilities.

In very general terms, the researchers seem to fall into one of the two campos.Hay who believe that panic attacks begin for psychological reasons, and then there are those who believe that there is a biological cause for his start. Here is a review of the latest discoveries in both fields.

Psychological

Perhaps the interest in panic attacks from the psychological point of view developed from Freud and the psychoanalyses interest in ‘neurasthenia’. in spite of having a different name, this was probably the same as panic disorder. Today’s researchers continue to investigate the causes and treatments of panic attack from the psychological point of view, and through various therapeutic treatments, have been the results without medication.

Since people have responded to this type of panic attack treatment, psychological factors must have at least some bearings on why attacks begin in the first place.

Here are some of the factors which have been considered.

Personality

It is conceivable that there could be a personality ‘type’ panic attack. If there is, could explain why some people have them and other researchers no.Los in Italy studying the anxiety and panic attack type personalities seem to confirm this.Suggest that feelings of anxiety people could lead to the eventual development of panic attacks at some later time.

Others have observed that people already experiencing panic attacks tend to have certain shared characteristics.Be over-critical and disapprove of themselves are common, such as a tendency to have a lot of ‘wants’ and ‘musts’ Yes mismos.Hay too high expectations in his life, urging that they themselves drive on and.

This is due to childhood, when you learned to believe more strict parents that if not all ‘wants them’ and ‘musts’ would have that taken out from TI.Se important love thinking trafficking in terrifying for the children while it is obviously inappropriate to think like an adult lesson probably knew so so well that are now well aware of and effect followed in his life, as continually faces to accommodate and serve the ‘wants’ and ‘musts’ in their lives.

Also allegedly attributed success to others, to emphasize only its own part failures, tends to be a feature of persons suffering from symptoms of panic, attack is blame themselves when things go wrong.

However, although introspective, they will also be too easily immerse themselves in other issues and respond quickly to their needs and deseos.En comparison, it is difficult to express their own necesidades.Tan worried and concerned about the problems of someone and accumulate these concerns of their own that try to ignore or deny.

Think if any of these things are true for usted.Son important factors to take into account, since they are the kind of thing that can generate much stress internal and worry can weaken its ability to deal with other co-day problems and lead to more panic attacks.
