An Ace Up The Sleeve With The Crawley Summerhouse?

The snow keeps coming with 40 cm’s in places and the countryside looking like a Christmas postcard, it’s been the coldest March for 50 years, the wettest winter forever. The roads are clogged, the price of fuel is enormous and there are floods and famine. However Spring has actually arrived and nature has a way of redressing the balance of things quite quickly when it changes its mind and the gardening season will soon be upon us and the work will be staring back at us. It is now time to be ready for the Spring and summer and a great Ace Sheds Summerhouse installed in the garden is a wonderful way to start the growing season. If an Ace Sheds summerhouse is ordered shortly it will be here for the late Spring and Summer and it must be likely that we get some good weather soon.

Ace Sheds is pleased to promote one of their most useful ranges of summerhouse in the Crawley Summerhouse. This summerhouse is one of their workhorse summerhouses, which is sold at an excellent price but really does fit the bill of good value for money whilst doing the job excellently and also looking good at the same time. The Crawley summerhouse has been designed with simplicity in mind. It has an oblong shape with sizes from 8 feet x 6 feet to 12 feet by 10 feet and has an apex roof with the apex at the centre of the longest side. The front has a single door in the middle of the front with matching single windows either side of the door. The door is half glass to match the windows and the glass is plain not Georgian so that it gives a good contemporary design with excellent unrestricted views from inside the summerhouse. There is a single window in the side of the Crawley summerhouse that matches the windows on the front.

Ace Sheds are pleased with this design, which is an excellent and a very practical design. It fits particularly well in the modern house and contemporary garden where the clean lines fit very well. It will fit many garden designs ranging from the country cottage style to the latest modern design. As with all Ace Sheds summerhouses alterations can be made and it is quite possible to put double doors into the front is so desired to allow a great view and also to allow the summerhouse to be opened to a good summer’s day or an extra window to let in more light. The roof overhangs the door by one foot, which keeps the entrance dry and can allow the door to be opened on a poor weather day.

Ace Sheds note that the Crawley summerhouse is excellent value for money being one of their cheaper models but one, which still retains the quality and style expected of an Ace Sheds Summerhouse. It is possible for this summerhouse to be erected very quickly by two competent people and ready for action in a very short time. Give Ace Sheds a call or look at the website and see just what is possible.

New Research Shows Camu Camu Superfruit Improves Obesity Biomarkers

An. Acad. Bras.Cienc. confirmed that Camu-camu was able to improve the biochemical markers of obesity in rats.

Amazonian Camu-camu fruit (Myrciaria dubia) has attracted interest from food and cosmetics industries because of its rich content of vitamin C, flavonoids and anthocyanins. The goal of the study was to investigate the anti-obesity action of the ingestion of Camu-camu pulp in a rat model of diet-induced obesity – using Wistar rats with obesity induced by receiving diet ad libitum.

The rats were divided in two groups: an experimental group that ingested 25 mL/day of Camu-camu pulp (CCG) and a non-treated group (CG). After 12 weeks, the animals were tested. Blood, liver, heart, white adipose tissues were collected and weighed; biochemical and inflammatory profiles were examined as well.

Animals that received the pulp of Camu-camu had reduced fat in white adipose tissues and improved biochemical profiles of obesity including glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-c and insulin blood levels. There was also an increase in beneficial HDL-c levels. The research suggests there may be potential use for Camu-camu in the control of obesity and as a functional food.

According to Matakana SuperFoods founder Dr Kevin Glucina the link to obesity came as a surprise to him. “We originally introduced Camu Camu to our product range because it is nature’s number one source of vitamin C complex. We had no idea it had potential to influence other biomarkers associated with obesity. This new research is based on a rodent model so now we need to see a follow-up human trial. Clinical research revealing the benefits of SuperFoods is accelerating as public interest grows about which foods provide the best naturally integrated nutrients for health.

There is a large movement away from formulated vitamin supplements and toward Superfoods and wholefoods in general. If people realise they can get their family’s daily vitamin C requirements by adding a natural superfruit powder like Camu Camu to their daily smoothie, why would they choose to buy a synthetic vitamin C tablet that has been produced in China from corn starch? Sure, they both have vitamin C but the wholefood Camu Camu also contains a complex of co-factors, vitamins, minerals and health-supporting phytonutrients that are put together by nature to give you much more bang for your buck. Not only has our digestive system evolved with wholefoods, there are also many complex mechanisms in play in wholefoods. Camu Camu has approximately 120 different phytochemicals; just how all those phytochemicals interact for our benefit is a hot topic in scientific research. It is the synergistic interaction of the different compounds in Superfoods which may be responsible for throwing up surprising benefits like those seen in this study into Camu Camu and obesity. These complex natural substances and interactions from wholefoods and Superfoods just can’t be duplicated by chemists at this time.Personally, the only vitamin supplement I take is vitamin D3 in winter. For the rest, in most cases, I think we can get far better quality from good quality wholefood and Superfoods.

The results of the Camu Camu study are very exciting and certainly support the high amount of interest in this new superfruit. The key thing I am taking away from this research is the influence that Camu Camu had on all the obesity biomarkers like blood-sugar levels and cholesterol. Sure, the rats lost weight, but more importantly, all the biomarkers became more healthy and that’s what’s important. I am always skeptical about claims made for one food as a cure-all for weight loss. In my opinion, even though the research looks promising, you can’t just rely on one magic food like Camu Camu to save you from the obesity epidemic. Lifestyle changes, the timing of diet and exercise are the most important factors when it comes to obesity; combine that with key super-nutrients and you are heading in the right direction.

We have done a lot of work on obesity and Superfoods at Matakana – we already have a new low calorie, high-nutrient Super Shake formula with Camu Camu and other key Superfoods like chia seeds, sacha inchi protein powder, red raspberry, goji and maqui berry freeze-dried powders incorporated into it. The Super Shake is naturally sweetened with low G.I pure coconut sugar, and the delicious flavor is enhanced with pure freeze-dried blueberry, banana juice and mango powders. The Super Shake can be taken as a once-per-day meal replacement to aid weight managment or as a post-workout recharge and is a great way for families to get a wide range of natural super-nutrients for improved general health. It is a viable safe alternative to synthetic vitamins for the whole family and all the ingredients are naturally gluten, dairy, preservative, coloring and GMO free.”

Camu Camu can be purchased from Matakana SuperFoods in bulk powder or capsule form and is also incorporated into the Matakana SuperFoods “Top 10 SuperFoods Super Shake”.

Electrical Counter Brushes Up On Its Stainless Steel Switches

Electrical Counter has put a lot of effort in getting the right sort of finish for all of its customers when supplying the electrical trade with a full set of switches. Brushed Stainless Steel is one of the best ranges of electrical switches face plates that are available on the market today. The advantage that this range of finishes has is that it will fit in very well both in the home and also in the office, shop, restaurant or work place, it is very versatile as well as being hard wearing and is very good at keeping its original appearance even with a heavy usage.

One of the best ranges of stainless steel switches is the Nexus flat plate screwless brushed steel switch, which has been designed with neatness in mind as well as simplicity of access for the skilled operator. The face plates of the Nexus flat plate screwless brushed steel switch are very smooth and as it says, it has no screw holes in it and no screw fittings but the face plate fits over the switch box with a clip on and clip off system which is easy to manage. The brushed stainless steel finish is such that it has a good lacquered finish to reduce any fingerprint marking and which also allows easy cleaning of the surface. Electrical Counter is delighted with this Nexus screwless brushed steel switch as it looks exceptionally good in any building in which the public have access and the range of switches covers the full range of applications that may be required. In the home there are the full range of single double and multiple 1 gang switches and also a range of two way switches. The specialist switches and sockets are all covered with a very impressive shaver socket and switch plus a fan isolator switch. The cooker switches and kitchen equipment switches are all covered so that there is a full range of matching switches as well as many other switches. There is also a full range of matching screwless flat plate sockets available to complete the installation.

There are a number of the Nexus brushed steel switches that are fitted with neon lights to indicate that power is flowing. This is a particularly useful addition as in these times of power savings and high energy costs this switch does indicate that an unwanted bathroom light has been left on or that power is still being supplied to the extractor fan. So much of the household equipment supplied today is virtually silent when in operation and this simple addition can save a great deal of extra cost.

Electrical Counter is impressed with the Nexus screwless brushed steel switch when it is installed in the business community as it looks in keeping with the modern office or public building. The screwless appearance stops the amateur electrician from accessing the switch whilst maintaining an easy access for the skilled electrician. These switches can be sourced from Electrical Counter at a third of their normal cost, which makes them an even more attractive proposition.
