Maqui Berries & Health Benefits By: This article focuses on Maqui berries, native to C
This article focuses on Maqui berries, native to Chilean climate. Maqui berries are found in South America, especially Chile. It grows in high altitude region of Andes Mountains, and requires sunlight all year around. Mostly it is cultivated wild or is grown in homes by those who use it frequently. Especially I Chile, tribal people grow them for their own medicinal uses.
Health benefits of Maqui berries are well attested in historical records.
Even today, Pre-Spanish tribe called the Mapuche still use it in their daily rituals and preparation of traditional medicine. When the conquistadores(Spanish soldier explorers, armed with muskets on a horse), arrived in the South America, they were amazed to find that the warriors of the tribe ate little solid food, and yet had great stamina ad endurance to fight long battles. Such was the praise heaped on this berry.
The tree bearing Maqui berries is of Deciduas kind. It grows in an acidic soil. It can also grow easily in barren soil and can re-nourish it.
The plant grows into a blossoming tree 4-5 meters tall. It is harvested from December to march, and local families collect the berries either from their own home grow trees or collect wild berries from the virgin forests.
The berries can be eaten fresh and are 4mm to 6mm I diameter. It's taste is somewhat similar to blackberries. It is also called as Chilean wine berry, as it is also used to in fermentation of wine. It is also used as an ingredient to prepare the popular fermented chicha beverages of Chile.
Research has been ongoing regarding the properties and the kind of nutrients in the Maqui berries.
A recent research indicates that Maqui berries have the highest anti-oxidants among all berries. Acai berries are another kind of berries with anti-oxidants, but even then it comes a distant second when it comes to anti-oxidant levels. Anti-oxidants fight against and absorb free radicals. Free radicals react with our body cells and increase oxidation process and the gradual ageing off our body. They are thus responsible for early ageing. In this, Maqui berries are beneficial and can prolong a person's life span.
The anti-oxidant level is measured by ORAC(Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score.
In an experiment done to measure anti-oxidant levels, Maqui berries scored a whooping 27,000 as against 16,000 of Acai berries. This makes Maqui berries as the highest source of anti-oxidants among all foods. It scores even more than that of green tea and other anti-oxidants. It is the reason why, so much marketing and propagation goes on about its ant-oxidant properties.

Attitude Towards Fitness And Fitness Tips By: Fitness is the optimum level of performance that a
Fitness is the optimum level of performance that a physical body can engage in. In the older times, fitness was considered as the physical ability to exert in work without getting heavily fatigued at the end of the day.
In today's modern times, the rise of hypokinetic diseases (Obesity, heart attack, diabetes etc), due to sedentary lifestyle has changed the definition of fitness.
A physically fit person has good lean muscle mass, lower cholesterol and fat, and is able to indulge in sports and perform well. For athletes, fitness would mean peak performance in sports.
For a fat person, fitness would mean lower fat concentration, and for others, it just means a daily bout of jogging.
Every person thus has his own perception about fitness. For many others, bulky muscle mass and sculpted physique would be fitness for them.
But, then many people find exercise as “work outs” that are unpleasant and stressful. Many such people resort to shortcuts, such as steroids, over working out, excessive protein supplement consumption, fat burning pills etc.
An entire industry these days has come up on the fitness mantra. It is worth billions of Dollars, and manufactures supplements, pills, diets, steroids, etc.
It also touts to give effective physical fitness tips to every person, as if they are physiologically the same.
We are bombarded everyday with so many kinds of information. Some recommend heavy workouts, others recommend light ones. Some ask us, to use protein supplements, others ask us to stay away from them.
All these kinds of information can overwhelm people and make it difficult to setup proper and suitable exercise regimes.
Fact of the matter is that every individual has different biological needs and has different genetic makeup. Some people have great mesomorph body shape and can easily gain muscle mass, while others have ectomorph body shape and cannot gain mass easily.
Such kinds of people need different advice and different exercise regimes that can benefit them greatly.
But more than that, it is the attitude to fitness that defines whether a person remains in peak physical condition, or that he abandons it and goes back to square one.
Attitude towards fitness is what makes or breaks a fitness freak.
An attitude towards fitness must be such, that gym sessions be as essential as a breakfast. Such an attitude will never make a person bored of going to the gym. He never gets tired of exercise routines and enjoys the workout as a challenge to indulge himself to physically extreme limits.
A positive attitude to fitness plays a long term role in a having a perfectly fit body and mental health. It increases confidence in a person, and makes him mentally as well as physically active.(read entire article)(posted on: 2014-05-20)
