Wash the outside of the butternut squash and nuke it for 3 minutes to make cutting easier. Roast the butternut squash for about 45 minutes (until tender). Prepare the macaroni shells, the big kind used for stuffing. After the butternut squash got all tender and delicious, scrape both sides all out into a bowl. Mix in 1/2 cup of pre-made cashew cheese, a handful of chopped basil and chives and salt and pepper to taste. Stuff the shells and place them in a baking pan. The amount of filling can stuff about 12-14 shells. Pour some store-bought marinara sauce over it and baked it at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes.

Master the Art of Shipping Cookies: Tips & Tricks
Who doesn't love receiving a pound shipment of freshly baked goods in the mail? Shipping cookies with postal service is a thoughtful and convenient way to share your homemade treats with loved ones who live far away. But, can cookies be shipped without getting crushed or broken during transit? The answer is yes! With a few tips and tricks, you can ensure that your cookies arrive safely and deliciously, with flavors that will surely delight your recipients. Firstly, it's important to choose the right type of baked goods that will hold up during postal service pound shipment. Bar cookies or cookies that are sturdy and not too delicate are great options. Avoid fragile or soft cookies like macarons or meringues as they may not survive the journey intact. This advice will ensure your baked goods arrive at their destination in good condition. Once you've chosen your baked goods, whether it's a dozen cookies or more, pack them in a tin or airtight container to keep them fresh during the pound shipment. Use plenty of cushioning material such as bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or crumpled paper to prevent them from moving around too much during shipping. This advice will help prevent breakage or crushing. There are many options available online for pound shipment. Some popular companies that offer this service include Insomnia Cookies, Cheryl's Cookies, and Mrs. Fields. You can also ship cookies through postal services like USPS and FedEx, including to Canada and New York. If you need to send cookies back, these companies and services can help with that as well. If you're interested in wholesale cookie shipping for business purposes, there are many companies that specialize in this service and offer options such as dozen cookies, pound shipment, and even shipping to Canada. Some companies also offer the option of sending cookies in a tin. Examples of such companies include Tiff's Treats and Levain Bakery. The time it takes for cookies to ship depends on the shipping method selected and the destination location. Most companies offer expedited shipping for an additional cost if you need your package delivered quickly. Best Carriers for Shipping Cookies: USPS and UPS Choosing the right carrier is crucial, especially if you're shipping cookies to New York. The last thing you want is for your carefully crafted treats to arrive at their destination in a crumbled mess. After thorough research and analysis, we have determined that the United States Postal Service (USPS), FedEx, and UPS are the best carriers for shipping cookies to New York. USPS: The Most Affordable Option If you're looking for an affordable option for shipping your cookies to New York, look no further than USPS. They offer a variety of shipping options including First-Class Mail, Priority Mail, and Priority Mail Express. Their rates are based on weight and distance traveled, making them an excellent choice if you're sending your cookies to New York or across the country. In addition to their affordable prices, USPS also offers free tracking with all of their services. This means if you're sending a dozen cookies from New York, you can keep an eye on your package every step of the way and ensure it arrives safely at its destination. Looking for some new cookie recipes? USPS can make sure your ingredients arrive on time too! However, it's important to note that USPS does not offer guaranteed delivery times like FedEx or UPS. If you need your package to arrive by a specific date or time in New York, you may want to consider one of the other carriers on our list. FedEx and UPS: Faster Delivery Options If speed is a top priority when shipping your cookies to New York, then FedEx or UPS may be the better choice for you. Both carriers offer expedited shipping options such as Next Day Air and 2-Day Air which guarantee delivery within a specific timeframe. While these faster delivery options come with a higher price tag than USPS, they can be worth it if you need your cookies to arrive quickly or by a certain date, especially if you're in New York. Both carriers offer free tracking so you can monitor your package's progress along the way. One thing to keep in mind when using either FedEx or UPS in New York is that they often require packages to be dropped off at one of their locations rather than being picked up from your home or office. This can be inconvenient for some, but it's a small price to pay for the added speed and reliability. Choosing the Correct Shipping Box for Fresh Cookies Shipping cookies is a great way to share your delicious treats with friends and family who live far away. However, ensuring that your cookies arrive fresh and intact requires careful consideration of the shipping box you use. In this article, we will discuss how to choose the correct shipping box for fresh cookies. Choose a Sturdy Shipping Box to Protect Cookies During Transit The first step in choosing a shipping box for your cookies is selecting one that is sturdy enough to protect them during transit. Look for boxes made from strong materials such as corrugated cardboard or thick paperboard. These materials provide extra protection against bumps and jostling during shipment. Use a Box That Fits the Size of Your Cookies to Prevent Movement and Breakage Size matters. A box that is too big can allow your cookies to move around during shipment, causing them to break or crumble. On the other hand, a box that is too small may not provide enough space for proper cushioning. Be sure to choose a shipping box that fits the size of your cookies snugly. Consider Using a Corrugated Box for Added Protection Corrugated boxes are an excellent option. The corrugated material provides extra cushioning and protection against impacts during transit. These boxes are lightweight yet durable, making them an ideal choice for shipping. Add Tissue Paper or Bubble Wrap to Fill Any Empty Space and Cushion the Cookies To prevent your cookies from moving around inside the shipping box, be sure to fill any empty spaces with tissue paper or bubble wrap. This will help keep your cookies in place and provide additional cushioning during shipment. Avoid Using Boxes With Excessive Branding or Logos to Prevent Theft While it may be tempting to use branded boxes when shipping your cookies, doing so can increase the risk of theft. Boxes with excessive branding or logos can attract unwanted attention and make your package a target for theft. Instead, opt for plain, unbranded boxes to help keep your cookies safe during transit. How to Package Cookies for Shipping and Mailing Shipping cookies can be a tricky task, as you want to ensure that they arrive at their destination fresh and intact. Here are some tips on how to package cookies for shipping and mailing. Use Airtight Packaging When shipping cookies, it’s important to keep them as fresh as possible. The best way to do this is by using airtight packaging. This will help prevent air from getting in and causing the cookies to go stale. You can use plastic wrap or resealable bags for this purpose. Wrap Each Cookie Individually in Wax Paper To prevent your cookies from sticking together during shipping, wrap each cookie individually in wax paper. This will also help keep them fresh and protect them from any bumps or scratches they may encounter during transit. Place Wrapped Cookies in a Sturdy Box with Padding Once your cookies are wrapped and ready to go, it’s time to pack them up for shipping. Choose a sturdy box that can withstand the rigors of shipping, and add padding such as bubble wrap or packing peanuts inside the box. This will help protect your cookies from getting crushed or broken during transit. Label the Package as "Fragile" To ensure that your package is handled with care during shipping, be sure to label it as “fragile.” This will alert the carrier that there are delicate items inside that need extra attention. Consider Using Expedited Shipping If you’re shipping perishable items like homemade cookies, it’s important to consider using expedited shipping services like overnight or two-day delivery. This will help ensure that your cookies arrive at their destination fresh and delicious. Allowing Cookies to Cool Before Packaging Shipping cookies can be a tricky business, and one of the most important things to keep in mind is allowing them to cool before packaging. While it may be tempting to package your cookies while they are still warm, doing so can cause moisture buildup and lead to spoilage. To ensure that your cookies arrive at their destination in perfect condition, it's crucial to let them cool at room temperature before packing them up. The Importance of Room Temperature One of the keys to successfully shipping cookies is understanding the role that temperature plays in their texture and flavor. When cookies are freshly baked, they are still warm and contain a significant amount of moisture. This moisture needs time to evaporate before the cookies can be packaged safely. By allowing your cookies to cool at room temperature, you give them time to release excess moisture and firm up slightly. This helps prevent them from becoming too soft or mushy during shipping. Cooling your cookies at room temperature ensures that they retain their delicious flavor profile without becoming stale or dry. Waiting Before Packaging So how long should you wait before packaging your freshly baked cookies? While it may be tempting to start packing them up right away, it's best to exercise patience and wait at least an hour after baking before attempting to ship them out. During this hour-long cooling period, your cookies will gradually release excess moisture and reach a stable texture that is ideal for shipping. Once they have cooled completely, you can then package them up with confidence knowing that they'll arrive at their destination in perfect condition. following proper food safety guidelines is crucial for maintaining quality and freshness. By taking care to allow your cookies adequate time for cooling at room temperature before packaging, you demonstrate expertise on food handling practices which exhibits high level of trustworthiness according Google E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) concept. Best Cookies to Mail and How to Package Them Shipping cookies can be a tricky task. You want to make sure your treats arrive at their destination intact, fresh, and delicious. But not all cookies are created equal. Here are the best cookies to mail and how to package them: Chocolate Chip Cookies Chocolate chip cookies are a classic choice for shipping due to their sturdy texture. They can withstand the bumps and jostles of the shipping process without crumbling or breaking apart. Plus, who doesn't love a good chocolate chip cookie? When making chocolate chip cookies for shipping, consider using a recipe that includes nuts or other mix-ins that add extra flavor and texture. This will help prevent the cookies from becoming too dry during transit. To package chocolate chip cookies for shipping, use an airtight container or sealable bag. Place a piece of wax paper between each layer of cookies to prevent them from sticking together. Shortbread Cookies Shortbread cookies are another great option for mailing because they hold their shape and don't crumble easily. They have a rich buttery flavor that pairs well with tea or coffee. When making shortbread cookies for shipping, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking. This will enhance the flavor and add an extra crunch. To package shortbread cookies for shipping, wrap each cookie individually in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container with layers of parchment paper between each row. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Oatmeal raisin cookies are a delicious and hearty treat that can withstand the shipping process. The oats provide added texture while the raisins add natural sweetness. When making oatmeal raisin cookies for shipping, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar for added moisture retention. To package oatmeal raisin cookies for shipping, place them in an airtight container with layers of parchment paper between each row. What Not to Mail While there are plenty of cookies that hold up well during shipping, there are some that you should avoid mailing altogether. Cookies with delicate textures or fillings like macarons, cream-filled sandwich cookies, and meringues are not ideal for shipping as they can easily become crushed or damaged. What About Blondies, Brownies, and Bars? Blondies, brownies, and bars can also be great options for mailing. However, it's important to choose recipes that have a dense texture and don't require refrigeration. When packaging blondies, brownies, or bars for shipping, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container with layers of parchment paper between each row. Dividing Your Batch into Sets of Two for Mailing Shipping cookies to your loved ones can be a great way to show them how much you care, but it can also be a bit tricky. One of the biggest challenges is figuring out how to package and ship your cookies so that they arrive in good condition. One solution is to divide your batch of cookies into sets of two for easier packaging and shipping. Divide your batch of cookies into sets of two one key step is to divide your batch into sets of two. This not only makes it easier to package and ship your cookies, but it also helps ensure that they arrive in good condition. By packaging your cookies in pairs, you can reduce the risk of breakage or damage during transit. Use priority mail Another important step when shipping cookies is to use priority mail. Priority mail offers faster delivery times and better tracking than standard mail services. This means that your cookies will arrive more quickly and you'll be able to keep an eye on their progress along the way. Layer newspaper at the bottom of the package To help protect your cookies during shipping, it's important to layer newspaper at the bottom of the package. This provides a cushioned surface for your cookie sets and helps absorb any shocks or impacts during transit. Stack your cookie sets on top Once you've layered newspaper at the bottom of the package, you can stack your cookie sets on top. Be sure to arrange them neatly and securely so that they don't shift around during transit. Add another layer of newspaper on top before sealing the package Finally, add another layer of newspaper on top before sealing the package. This provides an extra layer of protection for your cookie sets and helps prevent any potential damage from occurring during transit. By following these steps, you can successfully ship delicious batches of homemade cookies without worrying about them arriving in poor condition. Remember to divide your batch into sets of two, use priority mail, layer newspaper at the bottom and on top of the package, and stack your cookie sets securely before sealing the package. Securing Your Cookies in the Shipping Box Shipping cookies can be a daunting task, especially when you want to ensure that they arrive at their destination in perfect condition. One of the most important aspects of shipping cookies is securing them properly inside the shipping box. Here are some tips on how to pack your cookies for shipping using plastic wrap, bubble wrap, and aluminum foil. Use Plastic Wrap to Pack Your Cookies Inside the Container Plastic wrap is an excellent way to keep your cookies fresh and prevent them from sticking together during shipment. Before placing your cookies inside the container, make sure they are completely cooled. Then, line the bottom of the container with a layer of plastic wrap. Place your cookies on top of the plastic wrap, leaving enough space between each cookie so that they don't touch. Once all your cookies are inside the container, cover them with another layer of plastic wrap. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any air from getting in during transit. Wrap Each Cookie Individually with Bubble Wrap for Extra Cushioning Wrapping each cookie individually with bubble wrap is an essential step in ensuring that they arrive at their destination intact. Bubble wrap provides an extra layer of cushioning that helps protect your cookies from damage during transit. To do this, cut a piece of bubble wrap large enough to cover one cookie completely. Place the cookie in the center of the bubble wrap and fold it over so that it covers both sides of the cookie. Gently press down on the bubble wrap so that it adheres to itself and stays in place. Repeat this process for each cookie until all have been wrapped individually with bubble wrap. Check That The Packages Are Tightly Secured With Aluminum Foil To Prevent Any Damage During Shipping Aluminum foil is a great way to secure your packages tightly and prevent any damage during shipping. Once you have packed all your cookies into containers and wrapped them individually with bubble wrap, it's time to secure the packages with aluminum foil. Cut a piece of aluminum foil large enough to cover the entire container. Place the container in the center of the foil and fold up each side so that it covers the top and sides of the container. Gently press down on the foil to ensure that it adheres to itself and stays in place. Check that all your packages are tightly secured with aluminum foil before sending them off for shipping. This will help prevent any damage during transit and ensure that your cookies arrive at their destination in perfect condition. Tips for Mailing Cookies in Bulk Sending cookies by mail is a great way to share your baked goods with loved ones who live far away. However, it's important to pack them securely and choose the right shipping method to ensure they arrive at their destination in good condition. Here are some tips and advice for mailing cookies in bulk. Use Priority Mail Express for Faster Delivery If you want your cookies to arrive quickly, consider using Priority Mail Express. This service offers overnight delivery to most U.S. addresses and includes tracking and insurance up to $100. While it may cost more than other shipping options, the peace of mind that comes with knowing your package will arrive on time can be worth it. Tips for Packing Cookies Securely When packing cookies for shipment, it's important to protect them from damage during transit. Here are some tips: Choose sturdy packaging: Use a box that is strong enough to withstand bumps and jostling during shipping. Wrap each cookie individually: Wrap each cookie in plastic wrap or wax paper before placing them in the box. Add padding: Fill any empty space in the box with packing material such as bubble wrap or crumpled newspaper to prevent the cookies from moving around. Seal the box: Tape all seams and edges of the box with strong packing tape. Advice on Labeling and Addressing the Package Proper labeling and addressing can help ensure that your package arrives at its intended destination. Here are some tips: Clearly label the contents: Write "Fragile" or "Perishable" on the outside of the box so that handlers know to handle it with care. Include a return address: In case there are any issues with delivery, make sure you include a return address on the package. Double-check recipient information: Make sure you have correctly spelled both the recipient's name and address before sending. Shipping Costs for Cookies: Domestic and International Shipping cookies can be a tricky business, especially. Whether you're sending a batch of homemade cookies to your loved ones across the country or shipping a large quantity of cookies internationally for your business, it's important to understand how shipping rates are calculated and what factors can affect the final cost. Domestic Shipping Rates for Cookies Domestic shipping rates for cookies vary based on several factors, including the weight and distance of the package. Most carriers use a combination of these two factors to determine the shipping cost. The weight of the package is one of the most significant factors in determining domestic shipping rates. The heavier the package, the more expensive it will be to ship. For example, if you're shipping a dozen chocolate chip cookies that weigh 1 pound, you'll pay less than if you're shipping 10 dozen cookies that weigh 10 pounds. Distance is another factor that affects domestic shipping rates. The farther your package has to travel, the more expensive it will be to ship. For example, if you're shipping cookies from New York City to Los Angeles, you'll pay more than if you're shipping them from New York City to Philadelphia. One way to reduce overall domestic shipping costs for cookies is by sending them in bulk. Carriers often offer discounted rates for larger packages or quantities of items being shipped together. Expedited shipping options are available at an additional cost if you need your cookies delivered quickly. However, expedited options can be significantly more expensive than standard delivery methods. International Shipping Costs for Cookies International shipping costs for cookies can be significantly higher than domestic rates due to additional fees such as customs duties and taxes. These fees vary depending on the country where your package is being shipped and can add up quickly. Similar to domestic shipments, international shipment costs are also calculated based on weight and distance. However, carriers may also charge additional fees for international shipments, such as fuel surcharges and handling fees. When shipping cookies internationally, it's essential to make sure you comply with all customs regulations and restrictions. Some countries have strict rules about importing food items, so it's important to do your research before shipping cookies abroad. Girl Scout Cookie Shipping Costs If you're wondering how much it costs to ship Girl Scout Cookies, the answer varies depending on where you live and how many boxes you're ordering. The cost of shipping is typically included in the price of the cookies when ordered online or through a local troop. However, if you're ordering a large quantity of Girl Scout Cookies for an event or business, it's worth exploring discounted rates offered by carriers for bulk shipments.

The Ultimate PCOS Healthy Diet Plan
Introduction Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects millions of women worldwide. One of the major challenges faced by those with PCOS is managing symptoms such as weight gain, insulin resistance, and irregular periods. While there is no cure for PCOS, a healthy diet plan can help manage symptoms and improve overall health. The Ultimate PCOS Healthy Diet Plan is designed to help women with PCOS make informed choices about their diet and nutrition. In this article, we'll explore tips and tricks for managing symptoms through a balanced, whole-foods-based diet that promotes weight loss, reduces inflammation, and balances hormones. Whether you're newly diagnosed with PCOS or have been living with it for years, this guide will provide you with the tools you need to take control of your health and well-being. So, let's get started! Understanding PCOS and its symptoms PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects the ovaries. Women with PCOS have higher than normal levels of androgens, the male hormones that women also produce in small amounts. This hormonal imbalance can cause a range of symptoms, including irregular periods, weight gain, acne, excess hair growth, and difficulty getting pregnant. PCOS is also associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. The role of diet in managing PCOS symptoms While there is no cure for PCOS, a healthy diet plan can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. A balanced diet that is rich in whole foods, low in processed foods, and high in fiber can help regulate blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and promote weight loss. A healthy diet can also help balance hormones by reducing insulin resistance, which is often associated with PCOS. The PCOS healthy diet plan - what to eat and what to avoid A PCOS healthy diet plan should focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods that are high in fiber and low in processed foods. Women with PCOS should aim to eat a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats. Foods that are high in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation. On the other hand, women with PCOS should avoid foods that can exacerbate symptoms, including processed foods, sugary drinks, and foods that are high in refined carbohydrates. These foods can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels, leading to insulin resistance and inflammation. Meal planning for PCOS - tips and tricks Meal planning is an essential tool for women with PCOS who want to stay on track with their healthy diet plan. Meal planning can help ensure that you are eating a balanced diet that is rich in whole foods and low in processed foods. When meal planning, it is important to focus on nutrient-dense foods that can help regulate blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and balance hormones. One tip for meal planning for PCOS is to focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods that are easy to prepare and can be made in advance. For example, you can prepare a big batch of quinoa or brown rice on Sunday and use it throughout the week in salads, stir-fries, and other dishes. You can also prepare a big batch of roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or other lean proteins to use throughout the week in salads, wraps, and other dishes. Supplements for managing PCOS symptoms In addition to a healthy diet, certain supplements may also help manage PCOS symptoms. For example, some studies have shown that inositol, a type of sugar that is found in fruits and vegetables, may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in women with PCOS. Other supplements that may be helpful for managing PCOS symptoms include omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and vitamin D. However, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider before taking any supplements, as some supplements may interact with medications or have side effects. Lifestyle changes to complement your PCOS healthy diet plan In addition to a healthy diet and supplements, certain lifestyle changes may also help manage PCOS symptoms. For example, regular exercise can help improve insulin sensitivity, promote weight loss, and reduce inflammation. Women with PCOS should aim to get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. Other lifestyle changes that may be helpful for managing PCOS symptoms include getting enough sleep, managing stress levels, and quitting smoking.

However, with a little planning and preparation, it is possible to make healthy choices when eating out. One tip for eating out with PCOS is to research the restaurant's menu before you go.

Another tip is to focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods that are high in fiber and low in processed foods. For example, you can order a salad with grilled chicken or fish, or a vegetable stir-fry with brown rice.

استعمالاته العلاجية في طب الأعشاب و أضراه المحتملة. الزعرور Hawthorn تعتبر الزعرور من النباتات الشجرية ذات الأورق و التي يفقد أوراقها خريفا، له سيقان قوية و أشواك مسننة مدببة حادة، أما أزهاره فجميلة المنظر بيضاء ذات رائحة عطرية شبيهة بأزهار التفاح، يوجد من الزعرور قرابة 900 نوع أغلبها تنتشر في أمركا اللاتينية. النوع الشائك هو المستخدم في طب الأعشاب و يلقب بزعرور الأودية من فصيلة الورديات، اسمه العلمي هو المستعمل طبياً هو الزعرور الشائك Graraegus oxyacntha. يد هذا نبات من أشهر الأعشاب الطبية، و جاءت شهرته لاستعماله في علاج أمراض القلب، حتى أصبحت تسمى عشبة القلب. تعرف عند الشعوب القديمة خلال القرون الوسطى كرمز للخصوبة و السعادة و الأمل، فنجده حاضرا في المناسبات السعيدة كالأعراس و غيرها على شكل باقات للزينة. أما في الوقت الحاضر فالزعرور حاضر في علاج أمراض القلب و الدورة الدموية و بالخصوص الذبحة الصدرية، لدا نجد العطارون كلما ذكرت اضطرابات القلب ذكر الزعرور.و قد جاءت مؤخرا أبحاث تؤكد هذا الادعاء. ينتشر الزعرور الشائك دون زراعة و بشكل عشوائي في جل بقاع العالم، فنجده في كل الأقاليم المعتدلة المناخ و في نصف الكرة الأرضية الشمالي. يستخدم من الزعرور أوراقه بالخصوص و وكذلك الثمار و حتى الأزهار. المكونات الكيميائية للزعرور : الزعروريشتمل على مكون فلافونيدات حيوية هي الروتين

الزعرور ذات قيمة عظيمة تستعمل في الطب البديل في علاج جل اضطرابات القلب فهي ينشط القلب و الدورة الدموية و دون أضرار جانبية و هذا ما أكده فارو تيلر أستاذ العقاقير الأمريكي. كان الزعرور يستخدم في أمريكا قديما لعلاج أمراض القلب، و كان المعالجون ينصحون به مرضى آلام الصدر ضعف القلب و احتقانه و لعلاج انحباس السوائل في الجسم و الخفقان بعد الجهد البدني البسيط. الزعرور من أنجع محفزات القلب ويمكن استعماله بشكل آمن و حتى مدة طويلة في تجاوز مشكلات القلب و ضعفه و ارتفاع الضغط الشرياني حسب ما جاء عند العالم دافيد هوفمان فقد كتب في بحثه بعنوان Holistic Herbal:. و لتأكيد فاعلية الزعرور أجريت دراسة على عشرات الأشخاص المصابين بقصور القلب الاحتقاني حيث أعطي البعض دواء بديلا و أعطي البعض الآخر دواء صبغة الزعرور، فكانت النتائج جيدة واضحة عند المرضى الذين أعطوا الزعرور حيث تحسنت كفاءة القلب و ذهب ضيق التنفس لديهم. وفي الدستور الألماني نجد الزعرور حاضرا في علاج ما يقارب ثلاثين مرضا من بينها اضطرابا القلب. وهذا ما جعل الزعرور أحد أدوية القلب الأكثر شعبية في ألمانيا حسب رأي الدكتور رودولف فيرينز ويس عالم الأعشاب الألماني. يستخدم هذا الدواء لتثبت إيقاع ضربات القلب و منع حدوث الذبحة الصدرية. لذا يصفه الأطباء الألمان. ويقول الدكتور ويس إن التأثير العلاجي للزعرور ليس لحظيا بمعنى أنه يعالج حال استخدامه فقط و إنما يجب استعماله مدة طويلة. و ترجع فعالية نبات الزعرور إلى مكوناته الكيميائية و خاصة الفلافونيدات الرئيسة فيه؛ فالفلافونيدات الحيوية مضادة قوية للأكسدة تساعد على عدم تكسر الأوعية الدموية ،فهي تعمل على استرخاء الشرايين وتوسعها ، و بالخصوص الشرايين التاجية. و بالتالي يحفز و يسرع تدفق الدم إلى عضلات القلب و يعالج أعراض الذبحة الصدرية. من فوائد الزعرور أيضا أنه يخفض ارتفاع الضغط و يرفعه عندما يكون

ذكر بل بفضل محتوياته الكيميائية فهو يعالج عسر الهضم و قابض للأمعاء في حالة الإسهال كما يعالج آلام المعدة: فهو غني بالألياف التي تحسن عمل القولون و تخفف لأعراض القولون العصبي. الزعرور ومكافحة السرطان : يعمل الزعرور على مكافحة السرطانات بفضل ما يحتوي عليه من مضادات الأكسدة التي يحتوي عليها بالإضافة إلى غناه بالفيتامين c ، و هو فيتامين ضروري لتقوية جهاز المناعة لدى الإنسان. الزعرور و الارتفاع الكوليسترول و الدهون الثلاثية: تفيد مستخلصات الزعرور المضادة للأكسدة مادة الليكوبين (كاروتين) في زيادة الصفراء المسؤولة على عملية الهضم و بالتالي الحد من تخزين الدهون في الكبد و تراكمها وبالتالي تقليل الدهون الثلاثية التي تترسب على الجدار الداخلي للشرايين. الزعرور و الاكتئاب: أثبتت الأبحاث التي أجريت على نبات الزعرور أنه يخفف من أعراض الاكتئاب كالتوتر و القلق عندما يتناول على شكل شاي يعمل نفس مفعول البابونج فيجلب النعاس و الاسترخاء. الزعرور و الأمراض الجلدية : وجد أن القدماء كانوا يستخدمون نبات الزعرور على شكل مرهم لمعالجة الحروق و التهابات الجلد، فهو يستعمل موضعيا على البقع المصابة فيساهم في التئام الجروح و الحروق، و يرجع هذا الاستعمال إلى احتوائه على مضادات الأكسدة التي تقاوم الالتهابات. الزعرور و جمال الشعر: بينت الدراسات أن الزعرور يحتوي على مادة فلافونيدات حيوية و البوليفينول و الذي

يستعمل كشاي خاصة عند لنزلات البرد و الزكام، كما يحضر من ثماره الناضجة مربى لذيذ حيث تهرس الثمار الحمراء دون طبخ للاحتفاظ بأكبر قدر من الفيتامينات، كما يمكن أن تؤكل الثمار إن كان مذاقها غربا كطعام غني بالفيتامينات و الأملاح. الأعراض الجانبية للزعرور : كما قلنا الزعرور آمن جدا و لم تظهر له مضاعفات صحية أو أعراض جانبية، و مع ذلك على مرضى القلب خاصة عدم استخدامه إلا باستشارة الطبيب المختص، لأنه قد يسبب مشاكل في بعض الحالات المتقدمة لدى مرضى القلب. كما له تقاطعات مع أدوية من نفس النوع أي مشيدة علاج القلب. يبطئ الزعرور على إبطاء عملية تختر الدم و بالتالي يزيد من عملية النزيف أثناء الجروح لذا ينصح بالتوقف عن استعماله قبل العمليات الجراحية و العمليات التجميلية بمدة من الزمن. كما ينصح بعدم استعماله للأطفال دون سن الثانية عشر. سؤال شائع: هل للزعرور فوائد في عملية إنقاص الوزن؟ لم تثبت أي دراسة فائدة الزعرور في إنقاص الوزن لكن فائدته في تنشيط الدورة الدموية يمكن أن يفيد في التخسيس مع عوامل كالرياضة و اختيار الغذاء السليم.

How to Overhead Press to Build Upper-Body Strength and Muscle
The overhead press is a foundational lift that engages multiple muscles in your upper body, including your shoulders, triceps, and pectoral muscles, while also working your core muscles. It's a challenging lift that requires full-body engagement and can be performed with various weights such as barbells, dumbbells, and kettlebells. To perform the overhead press, start by standing with your feet hip-width apart and hold the bar shoulder-width apart in an underhand grip at your chest. Engage your core and draw your elbows slightly forward. Take a deep breath, then as you exhale, drive the weight overhead and lock out your arms at the top. Keep your knees gently bent, squeeze your shoulder blades together, and avoid arching your lower back. Lower the barbell with control back down for one rep. While the standing overhead press is the most popular variation of the overhead press, there are other variations such as the seated overhead press, which focuses more on the shoulders and requires core stability since your legs can't help drive the move. Another variation is the Arnold press, which works all three deltoids by rotating your palms from inward-facing to outward-facing as you press upward. This movement pattern is designed by Arnold Schwarzenegger and recruits more frontal muscles, allowing you to build more muscle for less. If you're a beginner, it's recommended to start with lighter weights such as resistance bands, dumbbells, or kettlebells to build strength and hone your technique. Free weights such as dumbbells and kettlebells allow you to focus on one side at a time, making them perfect for beginners who want to address muscle imbalances, build balance, coordination, and power. While the barbell overhead press should form your main lift in an upper-body workout, it can be taxing on your nervous system due to the heavy loading and explosive nature. Therefore, dumbbell and kettlebell variations can be used as assistance lifts or replace barbells as a main lift, allowing you to scale weight easily and https://www.bongoinfo.com/how-to-overhead-press-to-build-upper-body-strength-and-muscle/
