TIPS FOR YOUR FIRST DATE ON FEB-IBIG

Tips for your first date on Valentine’s Day to avoid awkwardness.

 

Tip 1: Meet in an extraordinary place

The selection of the place for the first date is already difficult enough and on Valentine’s Day the seats in restaurants and cafes are even more sought after than on other days. Let’s not impose the romance and meet at a meeting place, which is rather untypical for Valentine’s Day, like the zoo or the flea market. More exciting conversations arise than just sitting stiff and opposite.

Tip 2: Do not expect too much

Just because the date takes place on Valentine’s Day, it does not mean that the love develops automatically. So screw down the expectations and go straight into the meeting. Afterwards is always smarter!

Tip 3: Think about things discussed previously

Whether via SMS, chat or by telephone: Before your first meeting you could already sniff. Think about how past conversations can be continued. For the first date, general questions about hobbies and interests are completely ok.

Tip 4: Do not push on the lacrimal gland

Even though it may hurt you to be single on Valentine’s Day: to deal with failed relationships in detail in order to deal with the past, is only conditionally helpful in getting to know each other and to have a relaxed conversation.

Tip 5: Keep away the phone

So far your communication took place over the mobile phone. This is the end of the first date. If the smartphone is constantly gripped, the impression is created that the date rather bored than entertained. If this is the case, then rather end the meeting and go home.

Tip 6: Do not invest too much money

On Valentine’s Day a lot of money is spent on common activities and gifts. On that day, however, the couples in love should worry about this. If your date turns out to be a disaster at the end, you get to be annoyed only about lost time and not overpriced money.

PLANNING A GROUP BEACH VACATION

Tips for Planning a Group Beach Vacation.

Photo By https://es.dreamstime.com/imagenes-de-archivo-grupo-de-personas-que-se-coloca-con-las-manos-extendidas-image36766324

You’ve just left an exhilarating dinner party and all of these friends decided it’s time to take a vacation together. All of them. Or your family of grandparents, siblings, nieces and nephews all want to take a group trip. Or maybe your daughter’s volleyball team wants to turn a tournament into a team vacation.

With the proper planning, all of these situations can be fun and memorable. To help you plan a successful trip, we’ve listed our top five tips for planning a group vacation in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Determine the budget. The “B” word is no fun, but it needs to be the first stop on your itinerary. With a wide range of people coming along, it’s possible not everyone has the same budget. Discuss budget constraints and expectations up front and plan accordingly.

Don’t force everyone into one itinerary. While you’ll likely plan a few group activities, don’t expect everyone to do every single activity together. Twenty-four/seven togetherness can quickly turn the tides on a great vacation. Discuss ideas and pricing for group activities and meals at Gulf Shores and Orange Beach restaurants prior to making reservations.

Consider your lodging options. A Gulf Shores beach house can be a budget saver if your group is happy to stay in the same location. You may also decide to share several Orange Beach condos. However, if everyone is keen on having their own space, a beach hotel is a good option. Many Gulf Shores and Orange Beach hotels offer a free continental breakfast, which is also a great budget saver. For an exceptionally large group requiring numerous individual reservations, check with the property management company about group rates and discounts.

Talk about a meal plan. Some of your group may want to eat in for several meals throughout your vacation. Discuss having a dinner schedule for your group, with rotating designees for cooking and cleanup. With the great selection of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach restaurants dotting the island, no doubt you’ll want to coordinate a few lunches or dinners out. Call ahead to see if the restaurants your group has chosen accepts reservations for large parties.

Order a vacation guide and tune in to other vacation-planning resources, including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter pages. Interact with fellow fans, as well as the destination, to get recommendations on activities, restaurants and lodging. You can also subscribe to the monthly eTidings newsletter.

HOW TO BE PREPARED IN YOUR JOURNEY

HOW TO BE PREPARED IN YOUR JOURNEY

Long journeys on public transport can often leave you wiped out, but by following some straightforward exercise, nutrition and hydration ideas you can arrive at your destination fresh and ready to go.

Although popular modes of transport, making a journey on a bus, coach or train offers limited opportunities to move around is not a great recipe for a relaxing travel experience. Even an hour in a cramped seat can leave you feeling uncomfortable and - more often than not - tired, dehydrated, stiff and sore.

Factor in longer journey times and the chances are you’ll arrive at your destination a little worse for wear - which can spoil your enjoyment of your trip. However, it doesn’t have to be like that, and by following these before, during and after journey tips can help make your journey less sapping.

Before your journey

Even before you actually set off, there are many things that you can do which will make your journey more enjoyable and lessen the chances of problems afterwards.

·         Nutrition: You’re likely to be pretty static for much of your journey, so avoid eating large, heavy meals that will leave you feeling bloated and uncomfortable in your seat. Instead, eat a light, low-fat meal containing both protein and complex carbohydrate - such as tuna and pasta - which will give you sustained energy throughout your journey.  

·         Hydration: Air-conditioned coaches can significantly dehydrate you, so it is important to be well hydrated before you set off. Avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee and cola, and consume natural fluids such as water or fruit juice instead.  

·         Clothing: Whatever the length of your trip, you’ll want to be comfortable - so wear light, loose-fitting clothing and avoid garments such as tight jeans. Several hours confined in a small coach seat can leave you feeling stiff, so try to choose clothes that allow you to relax and stretch out wherever possible.  

·         Sleep: Ideally you should try to get some rest before your journey, because you may not have much opportunity to sleep. There may be a number of distractions during your journey which will keep you awake - so it’s best to get some rest before you set off.  

·         Exercise: Before you take your seat, try to take a brisk walk outside. Really stride out, working your arms and legs to get the blood pumping around your body. A good few minutes of exercise will invigorate you and help you to de-stress - and will help to keep you energised and feeling alert during the journey.  

·         Stress: Plan your travel arrangements well in advance, allowing plenty of time for traveling from home, going back for forgotten items and buying tickets, so that an unexpected delay doesn’t throw your schedule and send your blood pressure sky high.

Keeping fit en route

Nutrition: Similar to your pre-journey diet: stick to easily digestible light meals and snacks, which will help you to both avoid stomach problems and keep your energy levels topped up.

Hydration: Drinking alcohol may seem like an ideal way to make you relaxed, but doing so will only dehydrate you and make you tired. Keep a bottle of water or fruit juice close at hand instead, and sip small quantities regularly to ward off dehydration.

Clothing: To help you relax, loosen your tie, belt or tight waistband and use the layering principle of adding or removing layers to stay at a comfortable temperature, rather than wearing thick, single items of clothing.

Sleep: Any sleep that you do manage is unlikely to be high quality, but it will help long journeys to pass more quickly. Remember to adjust your watch when you set off if you’re traveling to a different time zone, and stick to the time zone of the country that you’re visiting - so that adjusting your body clock will be easier when you arrive.

Exercise: The key is to be as active as possible. You should try to get up and walk around whenever you can (ideally, about every 10 minutes) - but you can also do some exercise in your seat. Try the following routine every half an hour to maintain mobility:

1.     Alternate between clenching and relaxing your feet and toes.

2.     Contract and relax all your leg muscles.

3.     Make a ‘pedaling’ movement with your legs.

4.     Stretch your legs, arms and hands.

5.     Take some deep breaths.

6.     Gently stretch and rotate your neck.

Stress: If you begin to feel stressed, try to distance yourself from general noise and other passengers’ activities, and instead immerse yourself in a good novel, listen to a selection of your favourite music or even watch a film on your laptop. Another great relaxation tool is massage. If traveling with a friend, take it in turns to give each other a light massage by working on areas such as the feet, arms, hands, shoulders and neck. Always use light, gentle strokes, working away from the heart. Massage is an age-old technique and will leave the recipient feeling relaxed and de-stressed - and will also aid circulation.

Keeping fit on arrival

Once you arrive, your workout doesn’t end. Now is the time to fully reactivate your body so that you can get the most out of your stay. To complement your ‘before’ and ‘during’ routines, a light arrival workout will energise you and help to combat any feelings of fatigue. Simply follow the post-trip energiser below and you’ll be prepared for anything!

1.     Get up and go - Despite doing your en-route mobility exercises, you will still have been confined for a long period - so as soon as possible, stride out into the bus or coach station and get the blood flowing with a brisk walk.  

2.     Take a drink - Continuing to maintain your hydration is very important and will help you to avoid headaches and mental fatigue. Keep a bottle of water with you and drink frequently.  

3.     Stretch yourself - Cooped up in cramped conditions can leave you stiff and immobile. After your brisk walk, spend 5 to 10 minutes stretching the major muscle groups to return your body to a more normal state. Flexibility exercises will make you feel loose, supple and light on your feet.  

4.     Don’t overdo it - Whether you’re on holiday, a business trip or simply a regular long commute, it can be easy to throw yourself into activities, meetings or just exploring straight after your journey. You may be more tired than you initially realise, so try and pace yourself and avoid cramming a week’s worth of activities into the first day.  

5.     Snack attack - While making travel arrangements and getting excited about your new environment, meals are easily forgotten. Similarly, a foreign country may have different eating customs and cuisine which may not fit in with your arrival time. To ensure that your fuel tank doesn’t run low, pack a selection of snacks to keep you going until you can eat a meal. Healthy cereal bars travel better than fruit, and even boiled sweets can sustain you while you find your feet.

Long-distance travel may be part of your everyday life - and providing you follow sensible precautions, it can also be an enjoyable experience. There is always a chance that problems such as stress, general fatigue and dehydration will occur, but by following the bus and train workout above, you are giving yourself the best opportunity to arrive rested, relaxed and raring to go.

Found in all of the world’s oceans, scallops are mollusks with shells living in the seas and feeding on plankton. Scallops have between 50 and 200 simple eyes around the edges of their beads. and are available year-round.

Nutritional Supplements
1. Protein
2. Carbohydrates
3. Fats saturated and Omega 3 fatty acid
4. Riboflavin
5. Folate
6. Vitamin B6
7. Vitamin E
8. Niacin
9. Thiamin

16. Copper
17. Zinc
18. Iron
19. Sodium
20. Phosphorus
21. Calcium
22. Etc.

Health Benefits

C. Health benefits according to studies

1. Antimicrobial effects
In the research of Scallop shells and the use of its shell found that Heated scallop shell powder (HSSP) possesses broad antimicrobial action against the vegetative cells of bacteria, spores, and fungi. HSSP applied to fresh vegetables and processed foods reduces the number of viable bacterial cells. The use of HSSP in food processing provides a source of minerals and prolongs the shelf life of foodstuffs. Moreover, reducing the amount of scallop shell waste would reduce the related pollution problem. This report is a review of the antibacterial activity of HSSP and its application for the control of microbes, according to Antimicrobial characteristics of heated scallop shell powder and its application.

2. Humoral immunity

In the investigation of Bivalves of animals unclosed in two shell valves, such as mussels, oysters, scallops and clams found that recently, interest in bivalve immunity has increased due to the importance in worldwide aquaculture and their role inaquatic environmental science and their position in phylogenetic research. This chapter provides a short review of bivalve immunity, including cellular and humoral immunity and the key components and the interactions involved in humoral immunity.

3. Antibacterial effects
In the assessment of Phenoloxidase in the scallop Chlamys farreri found that PO reaction products significantly inhibited the growth of Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Aeromonas salmonicida. No significant inhibition was found in Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Streptococcus iniae, Micrococcus lysodeikticus and Edwardsiella tarda. When L-DOPA was used as a substrate, significant inhibition occurred in A. salmonicida only.

4. Immune response
In the investigation of Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), an important metabolic enzyme of aromatic amino acids, which is responsible for the irreversible oxidation of phenylalanine to tyrosine found that CfPAH, as a homologue of phenylalanine hydroxylase in scallop C. farreri, could be induced by cytokine and involved in the immunomodulation of scallops by supplying the starting material tyrosine for the synthesis of melanin and catecholamines. 

5. Antiobesity effects
In the study of Undaria lipid capsules contiaining n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid rich scallop phospholipids (PLs) with an incorporation of brown seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida) lipids (ULs) containing fucoxanthin found that incorporation of UL into scallop-derived PL by means of capsulation may lead to an additive increase in the antiobesity properties of these bioactive lipids.

B. Health benefits according to concentration

1. Protein
In the research of the importance of dietary proteins influence body weight by affecting four targets for body weight regulation: satiety, thermogenesis, energy efficiency, and body composition, found that Ingestion of dietary proteins in diabetes type 1 exerts a delayed postprandial increase in blood glucose levels due to protein-induced stimulation of pancreatic glucagon secretion. Higher than minimal amounts of protein in the diet needed for nitrogen balance may play an important role for the increasing number of elderly obese subjects in our industrialized societies, since proteins exert beneficial effects in the conditions of overweight, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular risk factors, bone health, and sarcopenia. Adverse effects of increased dietary proteins have been observed in subjects with renal impairment- this problem is frequently observed in the elderly, hypertensive, and diabetic population. Nevertheless, dietary proteins deserve more attention than they have received in the past.

2. Selenium
Scallop contains trace minerals selenium which is essential for the healthy function of the thyroid and immune system as it increases the antioxidant defense system by fighting against the forming of free radicals and reduce the risk of irregular cells growth causes of tumor and cancer.

3. Phosphorus
a. Phosphorus forms an important part of the process related to growth and maintenance of bones and teeth.

b. Beside providing strength to bones and teeth by working together with calcium, The Abnormal Phenotypes of Cartilage and Bone in Calcium-Sensing Receptor Deficient Mice Are Dependent on the Actions of Calcium, Phosphorus, and PTH it also helps to converse Riboflavin and Niacin to the active coenzyme forms for digestion and absorption.

4. Vitamin B12
Scallops contain high amount of vitamin B12 which help to maintain healthy nerve according to the study of The multi-faceted basis of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) neurotrophism in adult central nervous system: Lessons learned from its deficiency by Scalabrino G., posted in PubMed (IV) red blood cells, DNA synthesis and regulation, according to the article of “Vitamin B12″ posted in Wikipedia(V) and protect against brain atrophy or shrinkage, associated with Alzheimer’s disease, according to the study of “Vitamin B12 status and rate of brain volume loss in community-dwelling elderly” by Vogiatzoglou A, Refsum H, Johnston C, Smith SM, Bradley KM, de Jager C, Budge MM, Smith AD., posted in PubMed (VI)

5. Zinc
In the assessment of zinc and its effect on thyroid hormone and testosterone levels found that exercise decreases thyroid hormones and testosterone in sedentary men; however, zinc supplementation prevents this decrease. Administration of a physiologic dose of zinc can be beneficial to performance, according to “Effect of fatiguing bicycle exercise on thyroid hormone and testosterone levels in sedentary males supplemented with oral zinc” by Kilic M.(VII)

6. Etc.

C. Other health benefits
1. Magnesium
Magnesium is essential to many biological processes, including aiding in the body’s absorption of calcium, thus strengthening bone mineral density, according to the study of “Magnesium intake from food and supplements is associated with bone mineral density in healthy older white subjects” by Ryder KM, Shorr RI, Bush AJ, Kritchevsky SB, Harris T, Stone K, Cauley J, Tylavsky FA., posted in PubMed (1).
