Irvingia–South African Mango diet pill ?

I recently came across an advertisement for African Mango diet pills. In an effort to see what this new diet sensation (maybe) is all about, I headed over to Wikipedia to see what they have to say about it. It looks like it is a nutritious food from Africa and Southeast Asia, but no talk of it being a diet supplement. I will keep an eye out for more information and share it when I know more.

For now, you can see what Wikipedia has to say below.

Irvingia is a genus of African and Southeast Asian trees in the family Irvingiaceae, sometimes known by the common names wild mango, African mango, or bush mango. They bear edible mango-like fruits, and are especially valued for their fat- and protein-rich nuts, known as ogbono, etima, odika, or dika nuts.

The subtly aromatic nuts are typically dried in the sun for preservation, and are sold whole or in powder form. They may be ground to a paste known variously as dika bread or Gabon chocolate. Their high content of mucilage enables them to be used as thickening agents for dishes such as ogbono soup. The nuts may also be pressed for vegetable oil.

Tips to Having Healthy Hands and Feet

Even though summer is over and we won’t be walking around in sandals and flip flops that doesn’t mean we should stop taking care of our feet. And once the weather cools off and those cold winds blow our hands will begin to dry out and crack. There are several things you can do to keep your hands and feet healthy and beautiful.

One of the best things you can do for your hands is to wear rubber gloves when you’re cleaning. Harsh chemicals are not only bad for your skin but they can be absorbed through the skin and into your blood stream. It’s also important to wear gloves while you’re gardening or working outside. Gloves will protect your skin and prevent injuries.

The skin on our hands can age just like the skin on our faces. It can get sun damage, wrinkle and develop unsightly spots. Apply a sunscreen with at least an SPF of 15 before you leave the house.

Taking care of your hands means also taking care of your nails. Keep them in good shape by keeping them at a good length that works for you. You don’t have to have your nails done professionally to keep them looking nice. When filing your nails make sure you only file them in one direction, not back and forth. The back and forth motion can cause your nails to split and break. And lastly before you go to bed moisturize your hands with your favorite moisturizer. If you hands are especially dry you can cover them with mitts or clean socks to help the moisturizer from getting wiped off while you sleep.

Feet take a beating every day. Our feet can get calloused and the skin can crack. Every day it’s important to wash your feet in warm water with a mild soap. When you’re finished dry your feet well, especially between the toes. Look at your feet and take notice of any crack or sore. If you find a sore or crack in the skin you can treat it with tea tree oil to prevent infection. You can purchase tea tree oil at your local health food store.

Always make sure to wear shoes or other protective footwear when you’re outside. If you shower at your local gym make sure to wear flip flops so you don’t contract any fungal diseases. If you think you have athlete’s food take care of it immediately. You don’t want it to spread to someone else. Just like with your hands, moisturize your feet at night before bed.

You can also use a sugar scrub to lightly exfoliate your skin on both your hands and feet. Just remember that your hands are much more sensitive than your feet are so rub lightly on your hands. Always follow up with a moisturizer. If you follow the above tips you’ll have beautiful hands and feet no matter what the season!

Eating Types

Everybody is different. There are many things that make people different from others. One way that might surprise you that can make people different from each other is their eating habits. There are several eating types. Click on one of the links to find out what type of eater you are and if it is a healthy way to eat.

There’s no single right way to eat well. Each approach has its own merits and drawbacks. The key to fueling your body and running your best, says San Diego-based nutritionist Tara Coleman, is to understand your tendencies, so you can build on healthy choices and adjust not-so-good-for-you habits. Whether you graze every few hours or eat the same three meals every day, here’s how to tweak your diet so it better meets your nutritional—and running—needs.
