Bloated Stomach or a Swollen Stomach

Bloated Stomach is a common problem, which is caused by many things, but is usually associated with eating.

Below are ways to reduce the problem of a Bloated Stomach, and the uncomfortable feeling it gives you.

1. You must learn to eat slower, and chew your food more. Small chunks of food are easier to digest than large chunks. As you chew this also sends messages to your stomach to produce the enzymes required to digest your food.

2. You need water to digest your food correctly, so make a habit of having a glass of water with each meal. Do not gulp the water, just take small sips as you eat.

3. Salmon is a good food to treat a bloated stomach, the essential fats that Salmon contain are packed with anti-inflammatory properties to soothe your stomach.

4. Porridge for your breakfast is a good idea, especially now the microwave porridge is now available. Porridge is very high in fibre which cleanses your stomach and bowel, which in turn helps to reduce bloating.

5. Live Yoghurt contains a lot of probiotics which help your stomach digest food more efficiently. Your bloated stomach needs probiotics to recover.

6. Olive Oil a tablespoon in the morning and another in the evening will ease any constipation you may have. The reason is that Olive Oil acts as a mild laxative. Remember if you are constipated your food has no where to go.

Hopefully the tips will help you to reduce your swollen bloated, and maybe lead to a healthier lifestyle.

Fried Eggs on a Diet - No Problem

Everyone knows the frying pan is a no no, whilst you are trying to lose weight. Even if you do enjoy a couple of fried eggs, the guilt afterwards will depress you into thinking that you will never lose any weight.

Here is the secret to eating fried eggs, enjoying fried eggs, and knowing that its healthy for you.

OK it might seem wrong, but just use water instead of cooking oil.

Bring some water to the boil on a high heat in the frying pan, make sure the water is boiling, then as normal just crack the egg and drop it into the frying pan, in the same way you normally fry eggs.

Result is a lovely fried egg, that just tastes of egg, instead of tasting of burnt oil.

It is a quick way to have a healthy meal without the guilt of consuming oil, or fat as part of your diet.

Why not try grilled bacon, grilled tomato (just cut a tomato in half, add a little pepper and place on the grill), along with a fried egg (fried in water) and a potato waffle of course grilled.
What a wonderful healthy fry up, (wink wink).

Eggs contain 5 grams of fat, but three and half grams of this fat is good fat, and they actually help to reduce your body cholesterol.

Please do not think that you can eat a portion of food then perform better in bed immediately, you will need to adjust your diet, and eat the foods as part of daily meals. For instance you will see below that grapeseed oil can have a dramatic effect in removing impotency just by using this as cooking oil instead of normal vegetable oil. You will also gain a better understanding of what you are eating, and what the foods are made up from.

Banana.
Why? High in Potassium bananas have been found to combat high blood pressure related erectile dysfunction. They also help to promote a healthy nervous system which will enhance sensuous touch.

Grape seed oil has a rich source of flavonoids, which do help in the prevention of many diseases, due to their ability to reduce the damage done by free radicals in the body.

Amongst these flavonoids are procyanidolic oligomers. These compounds as well as being strong antioxidants, also help to improve blood flow and strengthen the blood vessels, which in turn may help to strengthen and protect the heart. The increased blood flow will help to treat erectile dysfunction. The effect of using grapeseed oil will be noticed very quickly, and you will wonder why people use any other type of oil.

How to eat?
Grapeseed oil is a very light oil, which is fantastic when used as a salad dressing, or when baking.
If you fry any food, then use grapeseed oil in your frying pan, if you have a bacon sandwich, then as a treat fry your bread in the oil, the taste is lovely. It also tastes wonderful lightly spread on fresh toasted bread.

If you enjoy a glass of wine, then serve a side dish of grapeseed oil with a few olives and crusty bread to dip into the oil.

Grapeseed oil is healthy and good for your body, so replace all of your oil in the kitchen with this super food oil, your performance in bed will be vastly improved.

Result?
You may see an immediate effect, but also include as part of your new diet which will help build on your need for a more active sex life. Improves blood flow to help fight against erectile dysfunction, penile dysfunction, and impotency.

Oyster.
Why? Oysters have always been known as the oldest aphrodisiac available. The reason for this is that oysters raise testosterone levels because of their very high levels of Zinc. Zinc is the main ingredient to banish erectile dysfunction, and boost your penile erections.

How to eat? Eat raw with shallot vinegar with freshly squeezed lemon.

Result?
You may see an immediate effect, but also include as part of your new diet which will help build on your need for a more active sex life. Improves blood flow to help fight against erectile dysfunction, penile dysfunction, and impotency.

Popcorn.
Why? Popcorn like Watermelon is full of Arginine which helps to dilute blood vessels giving a stronger penile erection. Popcorn is also known for upping fertility, and improving sperm count.
Maybe that is why your partner keeps dragging you to the cinema to watch a soppy movie, she knows she will get her just rewards when you have finished stuffing yourself with the irresistible popcorn.

How to eat? As you well know popcorn is sold at a lot of outlets like the cinema, fairgrounds, fetes, but be careful as they may be full of salt and sugar, which may help you to put on unwanted weight.

Popcorn is also sold in supermarkets in the uncooked state, allowing you to make fresh popcorn at home in the microwave.

Result?
You may see an immediate effect, but also include as part of your new diet which will help build on your need for a more active sex life. Improves blood flow to help fight against erectile dysfunction, penile dysfunction, and impotency.

Strawberry.
Why? Strawberry seeds are full of Zinc. Zinc is a very important nutrient for male potency and male fertility.

Result?
You may not see an immediate effect, but including as part of your new diet will help build on your need for a more active sex life. Improves blood flow to help fight against erectile dysfunction, penile dysfunction, and impotency.

Tomato.
Why? With its high levels of beta carotene tomato is ideal to boost your body’s Vitamin A, this is essential for the normal function of your reproductive organs, and the production of testosterone.

How to eat? Salads, sandwiches, soup, tinned tomatoes on toast, base sauce in Indian food, base sauce with pasta dishes, endless dishes enable you to eat tomatoes many times each week.

Result?
You may see an immediate effect, but also include as part of your new diet which will help build on your need for a more active sex life. Improves blood flow to help fight against erectile dysfunction, penile dysfunction, and impotency.

Tuna.
Why? A great source of vitamin B3, which not only dilutes your blood to enable better erections, but also increases your sense to touch which will enhance your orgasms.

How to eat? Tuna salad, tuna sandwich, fresh tuna lightly fried, tuna pizza, again you are only limited by your imagination.

Result?
You may see an immediate effect, but also include as part of your new diet which will help build on your need for a more active sex life. Improves blood flow to help fight against erectile dysfunction, penile dysfunction, and impotency.

Watermelon.
Why?  The summer fruit is very rich in an amino acid called Citrulline. Citrulline relaxes and dilates blood vessels in the same way as Viagra does. This is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED).

The amino acid is mainly contained in the rind of the watermelon just under the surface of the skin.
There is a lesser amount available in the actual fruit of the watermelon.

Citrulline converts into the amino acid known as arginine when consumed which in turn creates nitric oxide which dilutes blood vessels. This is exactly what Viagra does.

How to eat?
Eat the fruit as normal, but to gain the most from the fruit, scrape the pith from the inside of the skin with a spoon, or a blunt knife. Eat as much of this as you can, this is the watermelon Viagra, that will treat erectile dysfunction, impotency, or just turn you into stud.

Result?
You will not see an immediate effect, but eaten as part of your new diet will help build on your need for a more active sex life. Improves blood flow to help fight against erectile dysfunction, penile dysfunction, and impotency.

Bacon and Beetroot Sandwich

Suitable for - Vegetarians and Vegans if they use substitute bacon.

Why ? The taste and smell of bacon has been known to turn vegetarians back to meat eaters, until substitute vegetarian bacon was produced, just the thought of a bacon buttie would make a vegetarians mouth water.
The combination of the bacon and beetroot flavours combine and if eaten on crusty bread will be the best meal of the day.

Health ? Use pickled beetroot slices, the acetic acid in the vinegar fights fat by turning on genes for fatty acid oxidation enzymes. The genes churn out proteins involved in breaking down fats, thus suppressing body fat accumulation in the body.
Acetic acid is also known to help maintain normal blood pressure, and stabilize sugar levels in your blood.

Bacon contains around 30 - 50 calories per slice depending on thickness.
Beetroot will contain around 1 calorie or less per serving.

Choose low fat or lean bacon, and grill to your liking. The more bacon is grilled, the more fat it loses. After grilling the bacon if desired you can place on kitchen roll and pat dry to take any extra fat off.


Slice two pieces of fresh crusty, again the size of the loaf and the thickness of each slice is up to you, but remember even with small thin slices this dish will truly fill you up.

Cover one slice of bread with a generous portion of sliced pickled beetroot, allowing the red juice to soak into the bread.

Place two slices of bacon onto the beetroot, then cover with the other slice of bread, and pat down softly to allow the juice off the beetroot to combine with the bacon.

Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy a wonderful tasting healthy sandwich.
