Sinca veche, a place of wonder

Sinca Veche is a beautiful settlement, situated close to Brasov, at the mountain feet of Fagaras. The tourists come here, drawn by the mysterious legends that surround the ancient sanctuary, carved in stone by an unknown population. An old controversy related to its age and origin fuel the legend, making the story interesting. While some historians maintain that the church is orthodox, others say that it is Dacian. Some non-Christian inscriptions on one of the walls seem to support this idea; moreover, the fact that the church has two altars instead of one, strengthens the theory even more.

Visit Sinca Veche. Plan your holidays in Romania and find cheap hotel deals in Bucharest. This place is not the only one worth visiting though, so get more information right away.

10 Reasons to start a Paleo Diet

I have recently found a Paleo Recipes Book and started to ask myself questions on how we can improve our diet to be more in line with what we as humans are genetically designed to thrive on. My personal experience has convinced me that hunter-gatherer food choices work incredibly well for humans. In this article I look at how our diets today have changed dramatically from food choices that best suit us, the Paleo diet, and what the effect of this has on our health and how we can eat to suit our genetic heritage.

Our genetic heritage and nutrition

We evolved as hunter gatherers and genetically our bodies run optimally when we eat in line with our genes. Would you feed a rabbit meat, or a lion grains? Many of today’s illnesses exist purely as a result of the mismatch between what we are designed to eat and how we actually eat. Here are 10 key ways the standard diet today is dramatically different from that of Paleo / Hunter & Gatherer diets, how this affects our health and how we can correct each so that we eat in line with our genes to maximise health.

1. The Glycemic Load of today’s diet is far too high

The glycemic load of a meal is the blood glucose load from digested carbohydrates of that meal. Imagine you’ve just consumed 2 cups of rice �� which when digested gets converted into 20 teaspoons of pure glucose. This floods your blood stream minutes after you eat it. Your blood sugar levels are now high (you literally have sweet blood). In order to reduce blood sugar and send it to the cells you release a gush of insulin. Neither high blood sugar - which damages the delicate lining of blood vessels and increases oxidative stress, nor high insulin – which causes inflammation and fat storage, are healthy. Today’s diet is abundant in processed grains, sugars, starches and sweet fruits that simply did not exist in our past. A high glycemic load diet promotes hunger, cravings and overeating, and increases the risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, and acne. By eating mainly non starch vegetables and fruit with minimal starchy food and no sugar, we dramatically lower blood sugar load. By including lean protein and good fats with each meal we get further blood sugar control.

2. The Fatty Acid Balance- our diets are now very high in Omega 6 and low in Omega 3, plus we have added chemically altered fats

Wild meats and plants have a much higher ratio of omega 3 fats (which are anti-inflammatory to omega 6 fats (which increase inflammation) than farm raised, grain fed animals and poultry. Wild animal meat is also lower in saturated fat and higher in monounsaturated fat. Today’s diet also contains an abundance of chemically extracted vegetable oils that are high in omega 6, and other chemically altered fats that increase heart disease. These fats are used widely in the food industry. Paleo dietshad a ratio of 2:1 omega 3 to Omega 6. Our diets today are around 10:1 or higher. Consequently we are producing an abundance of hormones that increase inflammation, especially silent inflammation, that cannot be felt, but over time increases risk of heart disease, cancer and dementia. Omega 3 deficiency is also linked with mental health disease including ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression and hostility. To mimic the fatty acid intake from wild meats we need to eat lean meat and add primarily monounsaturated oils to our diet (olive oil, raw nuts, avocado).

3. The Macronutrient Balance-the ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fat has changed

Dr. Cordain and his researchers have analysed the balance of carbohydrate, protein and fat in the diets of many different hunter and gatherer races, and found that protein was 19 – 35% calories, carbohydrate 22- 40% calories and fat 28 – 47% calories. Dr Barry Sears designed the Zone diet using an average ratio of 30% calories from protein, 40% from carbohydrates and 30% from fat. The typical US diet contains protein, 15.5%, carbohydrates, 49% and fat 34%. By increasing protein and decreasing carbohydrate we decrease the risk of disease associated with high blood sugar, plus we get better appetite control and increased metabolic rate so weight loss is far easier. By roughly following Zone diet ratios you will easily hit this balance. Another way to hit this ratio is to have a palm size of protein at each meal, plus a lot of non starch veggies, a piece of fruit, and a little olive oil, avocado or nuts.

4. Trace Nutrient Density – the amount of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals in the food we eat today is very poor

In today’s world we are well fed yet undernourished. This is because the nutrient content of our most commonly eaten foods is extremely poor per calorie. White rice, bread, pasta and sugar are low or devoid of vitamins and minerals. Eating foods which mimic paleo choices mean that every calorie you eat is choc full of nutrients. Today’s dietary advice to eat lots of whole grains to get B vitamins is misplaced. When analysed and compared to fruits and veggies, cereal grains are B-vitamin lightweights. An average 1,000 calorie serving of mixed vegetables contain 19 times more folate, five times more vitamin B6, six times more vitamin B2 and two times more vitamin B1 than a comparable serving of eight mixed whole grains. On a calorie-by-calorie basis, the niacin content of lean meat and seafood is four times higher. By choosing lean meats, seafood, fruit and veggies, nuts and seeds, you will get a stack of minerals, vitamins, phytochemicals and antioxidants that far exceeds the recommended daily intake.

5. The Acid/Base Balance -every food reports to the kidneys as either acid or base, we now have a high acid load diet

Once digested foods either report to the kidney as acid or alkaline. Foods that increase acidity are protein, grains and salt laden foods. Fruit and vegetables are alkaline foods. When you have a high acid load diet, calcium is pulled from the bones to buffer it - leading to osteoporosis. It can also raise blood pressure and aggravate asthma. The average New Zealand diet today is predominantly acid forming, with inadequate alkaline forming fruit and veggies. As protein is an essential nutrient, important for muscle repair and blood sugar control, you can’t reduce this. However you should avoid processed meat and cheese which contain large amounts of salt and increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Instead of choosing grain based carbohydrates like bread, pasta and rice, choose vegetables and fruit. By using the Zone balance and getting 30 – 40 % of your calories from fruit and veggies you will get a net alkaline load.

6. The Sodium/Potassium Balance – We eat far too much sodium and too little potassium

The imbalance in today’s diet of high sodium and low potassium promotes or aggravates diseases due to acid-base balance, as salt increases the net acid load to the kidneys. These diseases include high blood pressure, osteoporosis, kidney stones, asthma, stroke, and certain forms of cancer. Excess salt in the diet also impairs sleep. A low salt diet can help you sleep better. By cutting out processed and commercial foods and added salt, and eating potassium rich fruit and vegetables, this imbalance is corrected.

7. The Fibre Content – we eat a fibre poor diet

Fibre is absolutely essential to health and at least 13 illnesses can result when you don’t get enough fibre in your diet. The Paleo diet is naturally high in fibre because of it’s abundance of fruits and vegetables. In fact it is 3 – 5 times higher than a typical American diet. Non starch vegetables contain 8 times more fibre calorie for calorie as whole grains. Common digestive problems typically disappear using Paleo food choices: constipation, heartburn, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, and gallbladder problems.

8. The addition of large amounts of Neolithic / gut irritant foods that did not exist in our diets in Paleo times

Grains, legumes (includes soy and peanuts), and dairy foods were not part of the ancestral diet and have a number of problems, they irritate the gut, interfere with digestion of food and absorption of minerals. 1 in 10 people are known to be sensitive to gluten and most don't know it, they have sub optimal health such as brain fog, depression, bloating and indigestion. Cereal grains, legumes and dairy are suspected in auto-immune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Try cutting out these foods completely for a month to see if this makes a difference to your health.

9. We eat a chemical cocktail of additives

Today’s food - especially processed food has a plethora of chemical additives that did not exist even 200 years ago. Synthetic flavours, sweeteners, preservatives, colours, not to mention chlorine and other chemicals in water, and the leaching of plastics from packaging. These chemicals are being linked with a vast array of health issues like behaviour problems in children and decreased sperm count in men. Eat fresh, organic, in season, non packaged, non processed food wherever possible.

10. We eat too much food

When humans had to chase down animals and forage far and wide for edible plant foods, there was no place for gluttony as procuring food consumed much time and energy. Today food is far too easy to come by and we are surrounded by it. Most of us use little time and energy to get the calories we need for fuel.

Paleo Diet Foods

When you choose a weight loss diet and you decide to stick to it, the first thing you must do is see which foods you are allowed to eat and which are prohibited. It is the same thing with the Paleo diet, except the Paleo diet food list is considerably longer and more generous that in the case of any other diet. The biggest problem most people face is coming to terms with the fact that they have to give up many foods they love. Well, the Paleo diet food list will show you just how wrong this idea is.

Tips for traveling couples

In order to have a perfect holiday, traveling couples should plan everything in advance and make sure they respect some unwritten rules that will help them have a great time together while visiting some new and interesting places. Next, I will present some tips for those who are about to go on a trip for two.

First, you have to know that when you travel with your life partner, all the choices and decisions have to be made together. Even though, usually, one of you tends to decide and the other simply follows, this time it is very important to take into consideration the other’s needs and opinions because it’s about a week or maybe more spent together in a foreign country and everything has to be perfect. If one of you doesn’t like something, you can’t just change the plan and go back home. So discuss in detail about the hotels you’re going to stay at, the museums you’re going to visit and how many days you’re going to spend in a certain place. As well, you should discuss the budget beforehand and see what you can afford and what you can’t.

Those who are traveling by car have to be very patient and up to it. Spending a lot of hours in the car, just the two of you, might get very boring even when you’re listening to music. You can try to play some childish games, or talk about different things. Or, the one who’s in the passenger seat can buy a magazine and read aloud so the one who’s driving can hear as well. Some jokes or funny stories will make time pass faster. Just make sure you’re not reading anything depressing. This holiday is just about having fun and forgetting about everything.

In a couple, communication is very important and when traveling this is no exception. If anything bothers you or you’re too tired to go somewhere you’ve planned to go, don’t just push your limits only because you have to respect a schedule. Simply tell the other that you’d rather stay at the hotel for a couple more hours and go out later. Maybe you can sleep in or you can take a bath together. A trip is all about relaxation, so don’t stress yourselves by thinking that you have to run from one place to another and see as many things as possible.

Traveling couples have to know how to make compromises. When you make the plans for what you are going to visit, choose places for the both of you. If your partner wants to see a place that doesn’t interest you much, don’t just refuse it. If you go with him/ her there, then the next day, he/ she will go with you somewhere you really wanted to go. You have to plan everything in such a way that none of you will ever regret going in another city or country and not seeing a specific thing.
