SWEETS WHICH WON'T MAKE YOU FAT

Sugar should be replaced with other substances such as xylitol, stevia and erythritol. These are healthy (almost calorie-free) sugar substitutes. People are using them more and more often.
So what can we eat on the basis of these substitutes?

1) Calorie-free jellies based on strong tea infusion, stevia and gelatin.

2)      Meringue on the basis of sweetening and egg white.

3)      Water with lemon, mint, ice and erythritol + other citrus

4)      Sorbets (containing significantly less calories) based on water and fruit.

Learning foreign languages becomes much easier when you know how the brain works!

If you want to learn a language in harmony with the brain:

1.       Synchronize both hemispheres of the brain while learning

In order to increase the flow of information between the hemispheres, it would be ideal to make some exercises such as juggling, alternating movements, and writing with both hands at the same time.

2.       Speak words, phrases and sentences aloud

There are 2 main centers for speech. One of them (Broka’s area) deals with speech production and the other (Wernicke’s area) is responsible for speech understanding

3.       Listen, listen, listen to understand better

Wernicke’s area is connected to the auditory cortex of the brain. So, when you want to learn to understand well, you have to listen in a foreign language. This will allow you not only to listen to the melody of the language, but also to absorb phrases and words unconsciously.

4.       Create rich language environment

Stick the words on the objects around you. Listen to songs in a foreign language. Watch foreign language movies. Speak in a particular language, read as much as possible, and even try to think in that language!

5.       Start learning the language as soon as possible

It is known that children are the fastest learners of language, but nothing is lost J

The best time to learn foreign languages is NOW! No matter how old you are. 13, 18, 27, 38 or 66. The brain is so plastic that it can handle a new language.

6.       Constantly turn up your motivation to learn because: 

Two is a Family / Demain tout commence

The man who runs a carefree life must take care of his daughter unexpectedly. Previously, he didn't know about her existence.

This new film is highly appreciated by the audience. I have to go to the cinema soon, I can't wait =)

Supposedly, this movie  has the power to release emotions and  goes very smoothly from comedy to drama. Moreover, the main role is played by Omar Sy known for the production such as: "The Intouchables" and "Samba". I think it could be interesting. :)

And you, have you watched the new box office hit?

Because the name of my blog is "pineapple", I prepared the recipe for:

CHICKEN CURRY WITH PINEAPPLE :) :)

Succulent chicken breast fried with sweet pineapple and seasoned with curry, honey and a hint of ginger.

INGREDIENTS

500 g chicken breast

6 slices of fresh pineapple

1 average onion

150 ml pineapple juice

100 ml of cream 18%

4 teaspoons of curry powder

2 teaspoons of grated ginger (or 2/3 teaspoon of ginger powder)

2 tablespoons of honey

Salt, freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons of olive oil

PREPARATION

Wash and drain the chicken breast.  Cut it to thin strips, roughly equal in size. Put the meat in a bowl, Sprinkle 3 teaspoons of curry spice so that it covers every piece of meat. Leave it  in a cool place for at least 30 minutes.

FRY

In a frying pan, heat the oil and fry diced onion. When it begins to glaze, add the meat and fry until it blushes. Then add ginger, honey, garlic and sliced pineapple and pineapple juice. Fry it together until the juice partially evaporates.

When the sauce is partially reduced, add cream, season with salt, pepper and curry. If the sauce is too sparse, leave the pan for a while on the fire to make the sauce evaporate. It can also be  thickened with a teaspoon of potato flour (previously distributed in a small amount of cold water).

Serve with rice

Cocktails - a dose of energy, health and beauty!

Cocktails are a healthy variation of your daily diet and a great way to look good.

Cocktails - milky, green, protein
Although the most popular are milkshakes, based on milk, buttermilk, yogurt or kefir, cocktails can also be made with water. Fruit and vegetable cocktails are also enriched with spices, herbs, cereals and bran or white cheese - not only to give them a special taste, but also to make them a source of important substances.

Cocktails - for health and beauty
Cocktails successfully replace dietary supplements, usually eaten in the form of tablets. Compared to supplements, drinking cocktails is a cheaper solution, more pleasant and certainly more beneficial for the body. Cocktails are good for both health and beauty, which is mostly in the form of beautiful complexion.

Here are some examples:

Milk cocktail with berries
Ingredients: buttermilk, berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or cranberries), sugar or honey and eventually cereal bran.

Refreshing cocktail
Kephir, tangerine, lemon juice, sugar or honey

Green cocktail
Ingredients: yoghurt, frozen spinach, banana, kiwi, bran, honey and a bit of cardamom

bon appétit :)

                                        The advantages of using public transportation

Using urban public transport brings many benefits which are associated with environment, money and social issues. First of all, mass transit significantly reduces pollution and improves the state of the environment.  It is well known that cars emit a large amount of carbon dioxide. The more vehicles on the road, the more our environment is polluted. Therefore, it is worth using a tram or metro because it do not emit CO2 at all. Next, driving by public transport is cheaper than daily use of our own car. Car maintenance requires a lot of financial investments connected with fuel, repairs and charges. So, thanks to city transport we can save money. Finally, using public transportation is safer than using cars. In car accidents people die every day because drivers drive too fast. Furthermore, travel by urban transport is less stressful considering the fact that passengers don’t have to lose time looking for a car park or standing in traffic jams. In other words, mass transit permits saving cash, environment and time.
