You Have to Read Heartbreak Rescue Just For You

By Yvette Dubel "The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear." Herbert Agar It may not be exactly what you want to hear, but I think this is especially true when it comes to relationships. The more emotional the situation the more truth there seems to be in that quote. Are you wondering just what this has to do with small business resources or more importantly you? I am a small business advocate that encourages its use as a platform for learning the lessons of responsibility, the best part of ambition...I want everyone to know what it feels like to dedicate each day to giving expression and focus to your passion! I encourage those of you crying because some person didn't love you as much as you wanted to pay special attention. If you know someone in that boat, send them a link to this article. There is an element of "you are alone" that we must all confront and accept as a part of life, instead of constantly seeking validation of that reality's denial. I'll share with you what my mother told me, "People are the hands and feet of God. We are here to do God's work here on Earth." My mother's words helped me to find meaning and value in my life at an early age. It put to rest any fears I had of loneliness. It gave me a foundation of self respect on which to build my adulthood. No one else can enter your pain with you, nor can they fully enter your joy. Those are internal experiences. Not even the most ideal partnership can spare you from that reality. Discovering the person you love is not who you thought can feel like a kick has landed in your chest. Among the unfortuate side effects are loss of appetite, insomnia, constant weeping, etc. But what do you do when you're tired of crying because it feels like your eyes will pop out? Or when you're just sick of feeling sorry for yourself. No amount of crying will change what has happened. How long it takes for you to feel better depends totally on you. When will you make up your mind to get on with living successfully? Hopefully you'll know where to turn when you've had enough of thinking in circles and getting nowhere. Start by reading product reviews, strategic development materials, and mapping out the plan for your success based on relationship valuation. What do you do next? You build your business. Those restless moments when you want desperately to call and beg him to come back are better used if applied to a productive aspect of building your enterprise. Can't sleep? Then get to work on your business or marketing strategic plan. Why? Because you have to begin taking actions that empower and validate you ...the life you create for yourself. Focusing on your business (entrepreneurship) is a way to begin working and focusing on your future, independent of self defeating relationships. You can begin to cultivate and integrate the skills associated with relationship valuation and effective management easily and naturally. Just have the courage to take the first step. This approach to your recovery has many long term benefits. Chief among them, it helps you become oriented with the concepts of relationship valuation that will enhance all of your future relationships, professional and personal. You only have to commit to one step at a time. With diligent conscious guidance and attention this can be an exercise in breaking old relationship patterns by creating a better relationship with yourself. Building your business is an investment in your future at the most fundamental level. Attention to your material well being is a basic expression of self love when you intend it to be so. This is why entrepreneurship works as an effective intervention. The pay off is obvious. Your business success is the key to affording the financial freedom and lifestyle you envision. Stop postponing your good until someone else shows up. You're already here and I know just where you can get started.

The History of Facelifts
by dyane hipson - Tuesday, 25 December 2007, 12:55 AM
Anyone in the world
By Sara Goldstein The first facelifts were performed in the early 1900s. During these early forms of the facelift procedure, the only concern was repositioning the skin so that the appearance of wrinkles and creases would be corrected. Facelifts were performed by making incisions, pulling back the facial skin, removing excess tissue, and closing the incision. In the 1970s, doctors realized that although repositioning the skin was key in providing the youthful facelift results people were looking for, the deeper tissues and muscles also had to be repositioned to provide the excellent, long-lasting results people are looking for. Although the skin-only facelift is essentially a technique of the past, says Dr. Douglas Hendricks in Newport Beach, California, the facelift procedures of today would not be in existence without the knowledge gained from the early versions of the facelift. In 1974, doctors began repositioning the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS). The SMAS is the layer of muscle and tissue below the skin, and up until 1974, doctors were performing facelifts by only repositioning the skin. By repositioning both the skin and the SMAS, plastic surgeons are now able to provide patients with wonderful, long-lasting, and natural looking results. A facelift can reduce the signs of aging like wrinkles and creases in the cheeks, jowls, and neck. Facelifts today begin with incisions that are concealed within the hairline. From these incisions, the skin is separated from the muscles and tissue beneath. The SMAS layer is then tightened to provide the youthful appearance in the lower face, mid-face, and neck. After the SMAS layer is tightened, the skin is pulled back to reduce lines and wrinkles. Excess skin and fat is removed, and the incisions are closed. Recovery from modern facelifts is much easier than facelifts of the past. Now, there is less swelling, bruising, and pain than ever before. There are also different procedures, such as mini-facelifts that use smaller and fewer incisions, making recover all that much easier. If you are considering having a facelift to correct the signs of aging in your face, contact an experienced plastic surgeon near you. During your initial consultation, your plastic surgeon will review the entire procedure and listen to your concerns.

Relationship Advice: Make Your Partner Happier by Being Happier Yourself
by dyane hipson - Monday, 24 December 2007, 03:31 AM
Anyone in the world
By Kate Ferrick Everyone knows that relationships require maintenance right? But lets face it most people put more effort into maintaining their car than their relationships! Many of us make the potential mistake of being complacent in our love life unless something goes really wrong. Like someone is about to leave, or there is a moat size emotional gap between them self and their partner. The smart move is not to get to this point and to be proactive in our relationships. Being proactive involves making a conscious effort to keep the love light burning by using relationship enhancing behaviors. These behaviors are called maintenance behaviors, as they aim to maintain the quality of our relationships. The question then becomes which maintenance behaviors to use. Putting your effort into ineffective strategies can lead to frustration. Many studies have been done with happy couples to find out which strategies are effective in increasing satisfaction in relationships. One behavior consistently has been found to be positively related to happier relationships. This is the attitude of positivity. This is defined as having a cup is half full rather than half empty attitude. When partners have a positive outlook on life it creates a pleasant harmonious environment for the relationship to exist in. This can best be achieved by both individuals taking personal responsibility for their positive attitude. Many couples expect that it is the other persons responsibility to keep them happy. This can be a trap, expecting someone to make us happy can be a recipe for disaster. Keeping yourself happy and positive can best be achieved by leading a balanced life. Often exercise and relaxation time is a big key to cope with the stresses of our everyday lives. Diet is also another key to keeping ourselves balanced. Mentally and emotionally being balanced often depends on what thoughts we are holding in our mind and how we view our lives. Our thoughts often trigger our emotions. A simple yet effective tool is to think happy thoughts, take the time each day to think about what you are grateful for in your life. If one of those things happens to be your partner then let them know. Positivity is very attractive and not only will your partner be happier spending time with you but you will be happier with your own company also.

Lost Wax & Lost Foam Casting Processes.
by dyane hipson - Saturday, 22 December 2007, 10:47 PM
Anyone in the world
By Colin Croucher Investment or lost wax casting is a versatile but ancient process, it is used to manufacture a huge variety of parts ranging from turbocharger wheels to golf club heads, from electronic boxes to hip replacement implants. The industry, though heavily dependent on aerospace and defence outlets, has expanded to meet a widening range of applications. Modern investment casting has its roots in the heavy demands of the Second World War, but it was the adoption of jet propulsion for military and then for civilian aircraft that stimulated the transformation of the ancient craft of lost wax casting into one of the foremost techniques of modern industry. Investment casting expanded greatly worldwide during the 1980s, in particular to meet growing demands for aircraft engine and airframe parts. Today, investment casting is a leading part of the foundry industry, with investment castings now accounting for 15% by value of all cast metal production in the UK. It really is the modernisation of an ancient art. Lost wax casting has been used for at least six millennia for sculpture and jewellery. About one hundred years ago, dental inlays and, later, surgical implants were made using the technique. World War two accelerated the demand for new technology and then with the introduction of gas turbines for military aircraft propulsion transformed the ancient craft into a modern metal-forming process. Turbine blades and vanes had to withstand higher temperatures as designers increased engine efficiency by raising inlet gas temperatures. Modern technology has certainly benefited from a very old and ancient metal casting process. The lost wax casting technique eventually led to the development of the process known as Lost Foam Casting. What is Lost Foam Casting? Lost foam casting or (LFC) is a type of metal casting process that uses expendable foam patterns to produce castings. Lost foam casting utilises a foam pattern which remains in the mould during metal pouring. The foam pattern is replaced by molten metal, producing the casting. The use of foam patterns for metal casting was patented by H.F. Shroyer during then year of 1958. In Shroyer's patent, a pattern was machined from a block of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and supported by bonded sand during pouring. This process is known as the full mould process. With the full mould process, the pattern is usually machined from an EPS block and is used to make large, one-of-a kind castings. The full mould process was originally known as the lost foam process. However, current patents have required that the generic term for the process is known as full mould. It wasn't until 1964 when, M.C. Fleming's used unbonded dry silica sand with the process. This is known today as lost foam casting (LFC). With LFC, the foam pattern is moulded from polystyrene beads. LFC is differentiated from the full mould method by the use of unbonded sand (LFC) as opposed to bonded sand (full mould process). Foam casting techniques have been referred to by a variety of generic and proprietary names. Among these are lost foam, evaporative pattern casting, evaporative foam casting, full mould, Styrocast, Foamcast, Styrocast, and foam vaporization casting. All these terms have led to much confusion about the process for the design engineer, casting user and casting producer. The lost foam process has even been adopted by people who practice the art of home hobby foundry work, it provides a relatively simple & inexpensive method of producing metal castings in the backyard foundry.

Organic Fertilizers
by dyane hipson - Saturday, 22 December 2007, 06:59 AM
Anyone in the world
By Terry Blackburn We can never have too much organic matter dug into the garden particularly in the vegetable garden. Whilst in the humus (half decomposed state), it acts as a sponge in light soils to retain food and moisture; in heavy clay it provides a drainage filter between the soil particles. When preparing the beds for vegetables the organic fertilizer should be added at a rate of two bucketfuls to the sq. yd. Manures Well-rotted animal manure is one of the finest by-products that are available to the organic gardener. It may sound like a messy and an unhygienic substance to handle but in this form it looks completely different from the fresh product. It doesn't smell, in fact it resembles rich, brown, crumbly compost, which of course it is. However, when handling any type of composts and fertilizers it is sensible to wear gloves. Farmyard manure is a mixture of the droppings of horses, pigs or cows, including their urine and the litter used for their bedding. Cow manures are wetter, colder and lower in nutrients than horse manure, and decompose more slowly in the soil, which makes them more suitable for sandy soils. Likewise, pig manure is slow acting but long lasting, as it is slow to ferment, this too is a cold manure and therefore unsuitable for the making of hot-beds. Bullock manure is not recommended because many are fed a composition diet to build up tissue and body weight, therefore the residue could be transported into their manure and which might not necessarily be beneficial to us. One ton of farmyard manure will give about 10lb. Nitrogen, 5lb. Phosphoric acid and 10lb. Potash, much of which is accessible to the plants soon after application. Not everyone lives in the country or close by riding stables but many of the animal manures can be purchased from good Garden Centres or from suppliers with web sites who can deliver to your home. Manures are generally good all round balanced fertilizers with amounts of nitrogen as well as a little of many other ingredients. It must always be used when it has matured, fresh will harm the plants by "burning" the stems and roots. If you are able to collect it from source let it rot for about 8 weeks but do make sure that you cover it to stop the rain-washing away all the nutrients. In autumn dig lots of manure into the vegetable plots it will ensure that the plants have a really good start in the following season. Besides root crops prefer soil that has been manured the previous season. Chicken Manure Chicken manure is often sold in pellet form so it is easy and cleaner to handle. It is very rich being high in nitrogen but it is lacking in almost all other nutrients. However it is very useful when used combined with other fertilizers. Chicken manure must never be used fresh. Hop Manures Spent hops are useful for improving the physical condition of the soil, however they have little if any nutrients. Compost The term "compost" is generally thought to mean a mixture of soil, peat and sand, which is used in potting and often called potting compost. There is another medium, which is vegetable waste of all kinds, which has been thoroughly rotted down and formed a blackish-brown crumbling material very near to humus. I think everyone is aware of the benefits of composted plant waste. Rich in all the necessary ingredients including micronutrients and micro organisms it is one of the best if not the best products we can use on our soil. Whether it is a simple worm bin or specially built container, anyone who is keen to grow his or her own food must have a compost source. Not only will it be a place to dispose of the grass cuttings but you can add lots of other waste too: 1. Leaves 2. Clippings 3. Straw. 4. Sawdust. 5. Shredded branches and twigs. 6. Cut flowers. 7. Comfrey leaves. 8. Tea leaves. 9. Coffee grounds. 10. Egg shells. 11. Banana skins. 12. Fluff from the vacuum cleaner. 13. Manure. 14. Urine. 15. Shredded paper. 16. Vegetable waste If you live near the sea you can add kelp (a form of sea weed). Never add kitchen scraps because it will attract vermin. Other ingredients that should not be used are dog or cat manure (their worming treatment will kill off the composting worms); don't use citrus peel either its too acidic for worms and don't use diseased plants it could mean that you run the risk of spreading the disease all around your garden. To help the compost to rot down an activator should be used. This can be manure, bird droppings, urine or a propriety activator; in dry weather it should be watered. In a properly made compost heap the temperature will rise to 180deg. F. (82 deg C.). It is then that the actinomycetes break down the more resistant proteins and carbohydrates. As the temperature begins to cool and this could take about a month, the bacteria will begin their work to complete the breakdown process. It will take roughly about 12 months for the pile to break down properly into compost. If your container does not have a lid it is a good idea to cover the top with plastic sheeting or a tarpaulin weighted down to reduce the amount of rainwater from leaching out the nutrients. It will also keep in the heat to allow fermentation and a quicker breakdown. It's a good idea to give the pile a forking over from time to time this will accelerate decomposition. Another tip, chop-up the waste as it will take less time to break down. Vary the type of material making layers of the different ingredients this all helps to speed up the process, turning it with a garden fork from time to will also help. If the composted waste takes up an area of at least 12ft. x 12ft. it is a good idea to include a ventilation shaft that will help with decomposition of the material. This is done by inserting a post in the centre of the heap, piling the waste around it layer by layer until the pile reaches a height of about 6 ft., then the post is removed, leaving an air shaft through the middle; this will ensure that the waste does get a balanced airflow. It is easy to see when the compost is ready; it will be rich and dark brown, crumbly, loose, in fact it resembles the potting compost that comes in bags from the garden centres that are ready to plant into. It will have become the perfect product to return to feed the soil. Compost when properly made, can be more valuable than dung for it contains plant food and it is alive with millions of micro organisms for the health and well being of the soil. It will contain most of the minor minerals or trace elements all vital in good, healthy crop cultivation. When the compost is ready to use it can be added all around the garden but especially the vegetable plot. It will improve the soil just dig in between 1 - 2 inches of compost. It can be use as mulch, or as an extra boost during the hungriest part of the growing season when the fruit are developing. You can even mix some compost with water to make a liquid feed. A compost bin can be constructed using four wooden pallets, each stood up on its side with the topside of the pallet, which has all the slats, facing inwards so that the extra slats made good compost retention. Through the centre of each pallet to retain the position, two stout stakes are driven vertically into the ground. When the compartment is full up, three more pallets can be joined to the side, making a second chamber. After this too is full, a third one can be erected and eventually a fourth; the total number of pallets required is twelve. By the time the fourth is filled, the first compartment will have compost ready to be used around the garden. Access to each compartment cannot be easier; either of the outward walls of each bin may be simply lifted over the stakes for the removal of the compost. If the pallets are first painted with wood preservative they should last for a quite few years, after which they can be replaced either individually or completely at very little cost. Liquid manure There are so many things that you can make up into a liquid feed. Comfrey leaves put in a bin with water and allowed to rot down make a very good liquid feed. However, other ingredients such as manure, blood and bone meal, a capful of concentrated seaweed fertilizer allowed to stand for about a week, make up a very fine brew. It must be diluted at a ratio of about 1 parts liquid feed to 4 parts water. As you draw the last dregs from the container, it is wiser to dilute a little more, as the mixture becomes more concentrated at the bottom. Worm bins produce very good liquid feed and just as the previously mentioned brew, must be diluted before use. When using the liquid, water it onto the soil around the plants avoiding the foliage as much as possible. This feed can be administered about every 2 - 3 weeks throughout summer. Green manure Green manure has been used for thousands of years for mainly vegetable crops; it is a way of replenishing organic matter into the soil, especially soils that have been impoverished by chemical fertilization. It is a sustainable enrichment of soil by incorporating un-decomposed green plant material that will benefit the soil in many ways: Increase soil fertility Increase biological activity Nourish subsequent crops Reduce soil erosion Reduce nitrate losses Weed suppressant Soil structure improvement The annual lupin is extensively used as a green manure crop as is Crimson clover (Trigonella foenum graecum) and Mustard (Sinapsis alba). These will add organic matter and really improve the soil as they rot down. One key ingredient in green manure is legumes, which fix nitrogen into the soil. This is a good practise especially in soil where hungry feeders have been grown. Green manure For more information visit: www.mrsgreenfingers.co.uk (You need an Internet connection to visit this site) However, green manure does not give quick results as it is slow to activate - and the reason why it is not often used in ordinary home gardens. It usually takes at the very least six months for the vegetable waste to rot down. When crops are dug into the land in a fresh condition, the soil organisms have to get to work on the green plants and break them down. In doing so they starve the land of nitrogen during the time the waste is being broken down. Therefore green manure method is generally applied on land that is to have a season of rest. Besides there are other factors, which come into play in order that the best results are achieved. The land should be properly drained so that sufficient air is present; it should be adequately limed so that it is not acid, and the soil should be warm. Terry Blackburn.

Is Mineral Makeup Good For Your Skin?
by dyane hipson - Wednesday, 19 December 2007, 09:55 PM
Anyone in the world
By Erin Kelley First of all - what is mineral makeup? Mineral makeup is made from naturally-occuring crushed minerals, usually zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, iron oxides and mica. These loose minerals are combined together in different quantities to make a variety of mineral makeup powder formulations such as foundations, finishing powders, concealers, blushers, bronzers and eye shadows. The minerals titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in particular, act as a natural sunblock, effectively filtering UVA and UVB rays to deliver sun protection of up to SPF 20. Mineral makeup is free of irritants like perfumes, preservatives (such as parabens), alcohols and dyes. Many traditional makeup brands use synthetic FD&C dyes in their products - however, these dyes have been identified as the one of the leading causes of allergic reactions in makeup. Most mineral makeup lines do not use synthetic dyes, instead, the colors are derived from naturally-occuring iron oxide pigments. All this makes mineral makeup very suitable for people with sensitive skin. In fact, mineral makeup has even been used after surgical procedures like laser peels, when skin is at its most sensitive. However, not all mineral makeup lines are completely free of chemical irritants. Some brands use bismuth oxychloride, which can be very irritating on the skin. Bismuth oxychloride is a mineral that is used in some mineral makeup lines because it imparts a shimmery look, and is a cheap filler. Bismuth oxychloride is also heavy, hence the need to 'buff' or force it into your skin. Mineral makeup lines that do not use bismuth oxychloride tend to be lighter in texture and easier to apply. Mineral makeup can also be good for acne sufferers. By its very nature, mineral cosmetics are non-comedogenic, oil-free, anti-inflammatory and cannot harbor bacteria, which means that acne blemishes can be covered or concealed without further aggravating them. Mineral makeup will not necessarily cure acne, but skin has a much better chance of healing while wearing it, compared to traditional makeup. Many have also reported that they have fallen asleep wearing their mineral makeup without suffering any breakouts the following day. In fact, some mineral makeup lines even have mineral night-time treatments, which are specially-formulated mineral powders that you can wear every night to improve your skin. A good excuse to wear makeup to bed? Crucially, mineral makeup avoids the use of talc, a known carcinogen found in a lot of traditional makeup. There are also no petrochemicals or coal-derived ingredients, common in a lot of traditional makeup. As you can see, the ingredient listing in say, a mineral foundation is much shorter compared to a traditional liquid foundation. The positive claims of mineral makeup cannot be applied to all mineral makeup brands or all people. It depends on the ingredients in the makeup and also your own skin. Some will have different reactions compared to others. It is always good to research first before you buy. Erin Kelley writes for Aeteenshop.com, a beauty and health E-Zine. She recommends Earthnicity Minerals mineral cosmetics, which is free of parabens, preservatives, fragrances, alcohol, mineral oil and bismuth oxychloride.

By Lance Winslow The Islamic Faith seems to be losing its way, even though Muslims have outpaced other human breeds with procreation and larger families. The Islamic Faith and Muslim Mosques need to dress things up a bit to keep the members staying with in the religion. As we say in France some had left the Mosques and dishonored the Islamic Faith by throwing a few Molotov Cocktails in a four-week civil disturbance burning some 20,000 automobiles. One way for the Islamic Faith to modernize a little might be to use some high-tech electronics and technology to keep the younger generation involved a little. It appears to be difficult trying to live a life of 2,000 years ago in a civilization in the present period. And this kind of makes sense doesnt it. But we know Islam is such a wonderful and peaceful religion, so perhaps we can bring it into the current times, with a little technological help? How so you ask? Well, I propose that we use Holographic Technologies in the Mosques so the younger Muslim generations can understand what on Gods Earth the older generation is telling them. By creating Islamic Lessons of teachings thru a visual holographic full motion projection of the Great Allah, who can stand up and explain to the children all about the world of Islam and help indoctrinate them into a World of Peace and thus preventing them from being recruited by those who have used dishonored Islam.

Should I Claim For Personal Injury Or Is It A Needless Compensation Culture?
by dyane hipson - Tuesday, 18 December 2007, 05:11 AM
Anyone in the world
By Keith Lunt If you have recently been injured through no fault of your own, you may be considering claiming for compensation against the other person. But then you begin to wonder. Is it the right thing to do, or is it just needless greed, taking advantage of an unfortunate situation. My personal injury This is exactly the situation I was left in after my road traffic accident. I'd been driving along a narrow road when another car came out of a bend at speed. Because of his speed, even though I stopped my car, he was unable to stop and crashed into the front of my car. Both cars were write offs and the police arranged for them to be taken away. My loses So now I had lost my no claims bonus and suddenly was a higher insurance risk. My car insurance premiums were going to increase and I'd lost my insurance excess. My own insurance were unhelpful and I needed professional help defending my position. I needed a solicitor. Whenever I called my insurance they never returned calls. Letters were being ignored. But magically, a phone call from a solicitor immediately got a response and some sense from them. But why would a solicitor take on the case? Had I just asked one to work for me, what would they have charged? Could I really afford it? Could I claim it on the insurance? This wasn't all I had lost. The accident happened on the second day of my holiday and the rest of the holiday was lost to phoning around trying to sort out insurance. Stranded, in the middle of no where, without a car, how could we continue our holiday? A hire car was possible, but not for another couple of days. And would we really feel up to driving these strange roads - just after the crash. So we had also lost the holiday. Plus we needed a relative to drive down to take us home. The financial loss was starting to mount up. Accident injuries But we'd escaped uninjured. Cuts, bruises and whiplash. A few days later and my family had recovered. A few weeks later and my neck pains still continued. Visits to the doctor produced creams that got rid of most of the pains, but 5 months later the trouble still continued. A physiotherapist was recommended, but on the NHS it would take weeks, or even months, to sort. A private physiotherapist was recommended, but that was going to cost. 30 for the first session and that would just tell me how many sessions would be needed. Who was going to pay that? Should you claim? Overall, claiming for injuries may seem like jumping on the compensation culture bandwagon, but the solicitor will act as a friendly face, someone to explain what is going on. After an accident you can suffer financial losses. Who is going to cover these for you? And your injuries may stop you from getting on with your normal life for a while. Some people and organisations have given bad press to injury claims. But claiming for personal injuries isn't that bad if the pain of several months is anything to go by.

Wu Long Teas and Weight Loss After the Holidays
by dyane hipson - Monday, 17 December 2007, 02:57 AM
Anyone in the world
By Jon Stout For most people the holidays like Christmas, Chanukah and New Years are special occasions that allow families to reunite and spend quality time together. Accompanying the festivities are often parties and dinners that can result in weight gain. Many people often seek ways to reduce weight after the holidays are over. This is not a time for panic: crash diets and extreme exercise programs almost always fail and should be avoided. Weight loss should always be part of a sensible balanced program of exercise and diet and most experts agree that moderation and consistency are better than excess. Strategies to Prevent Weight Gain To help prevent weight gain it is important to assess your behavior and environment and adopt healthy habits The amount and types of foods you eat, and your physical activity habits are important factors in controlling weight. The environment in which you live may also contribute to the adoption of poor eating or exercise habits. This is especially true in today's society, which is dominated by speed and convenience. For example, escalators, elevators and remote-control appliances make us less physically active and walking is less frequent than in prior years. Also, greater availability of foods that are high in calories, fat and added sugars, and larger portion sizes promote unhealthy eating behaviors. In addition, reputable organizations, government agencies and independent researchers agree on the importance of adopting healthy habits to prevent weight gain. Effective weight management involves behavior modification which is a lifelong commitment and includes at least two components: Healthful eating in accordance with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, emphasizing a reduction in total calories, a lowered fat consumption, and an increase in vegetables, fruits and whole grains, is an essential part of weight control. Increased frequent and regular physical activity of at least moderate intensity is also required. Health professionals also recommend a prescription for health and weight loss that includes: Moderate physical activity on most days of the week of at least 30 minutes per day for adults and 60 minutes per day for children. Eating at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and reasonable portion sizes at home, in schools, at worksites, and in communities. Drinking at least eight glasses of pure water. In addition to exercise and a healthy diet, the use of Wu long tea (also spelled oolong tea or wu long tea) is growing in popularity as a wholesome and flavorful way to limit weight gain.

Scientific studies have established that tea is high in health-promoting polyphenols that protect us against cancer and other diseases. Wu long tea is particularly high in "polymerized polyphenols" which according to recent studies helps to increase energy expenditure. One recent study found that energy expenditure increased by 10% for a period of 2 hours after drinking wu long tea. This was significantly higher than the energy expenditure observed after drinking other types of tea.

The study concludes that long-term consumption of wu long tea is beneficial for the suppression of diet induced obesity. Health-promoting compounds such as polyphenols and catechins are present in all types of tea, but hand picked wu long tea is the best source because the pickers are selecting the best leaves from the tea plant.
