The Bahamas Continues to Be a Hot Spot for Celebrity Nuptials

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon recently wed at a surprise ceremony on the picture-perfect island of Eleuthera, adding to the growing list of stars that have planned their perfect day in The Bahamas. With ideal weather year round, breathtaking beaches, lavish hotels and amenities, not to mention privacy, this tropical paradise has long been a favorite locale for celebrities to walk down the aisle in style.

Always the trend setter, supermodel Cindy Crawford said “I do” to hubby Rande Gerber in May 1998 at the swanky Ocean Club on Paradise Island. Since then, A-list couples have continued to flock to the 700 Islands Of The Bahamas including current NFL commentator Deion Sanders who was married on Nassau Paradise Island, Richard De Niro, son of Oscar winning actor Robert De Niro, who also said his vows on Nassau Paradise Island and Solange Knowles, younger sister of pop icon Beyonce, who wed on Grand Bahama Island. Also married in The Bahamas was Google co-founder Sergey Brin to bio-tech specialist Anne Wojcicki. The sweethearts said their nuptials in May of 2007 on Musha Cay Island on a private property owned by magician David Copperfield.

You don’t have to be rich and famous to get married in The Bahamas. Whether planning a large wedding with hundreds of guests or an intimate ceremony with just close friends and family in attendance, The Bahamas can fit the needs of all personalities, themes, and budgets. With endless hotel and resort options, restaurant choices and activities for the young and young at heart, this chic destination makes planning a wedding effortless. What’s more, possibly the most distinct feature of The Bahamas is the ability for newlyweds to cut the cake on one island and then leave their guests behind to escape to their honeymoon on yet another secluded island in The Bahamas!

Life in The Islands Of The Bahamas is as culturally diverse as it is vibrantly beautiful, from the carefree Out Islands to exciting Nassau/Paradise Island and Grand Bahama Island. With world-class diving and fishing, gorgeous turquoise water and miles of picture perfect beaches, the 700 islands of The Bahamas offer visitors the opportunity to do everything or nothing at all.

With the stomach and other digestive organs in a state of perfect health, one is entirely unconscious of their existence, save when of feeling of hunger calls attention to the fact that food is required, or satiety warns us that a sufficient amount or too much has been eaten. Perfect digestion can only be maintained by careful observance of the rules of health in regard to habits of eating.

On the subject of Hygiene of Digestion, we quote a few paragraphs from Dr. Kellogg’s work on Physiology, in which is given a concise summary of the more important points relating to this:

“The hygiene of digestion has to do with the quality and quantity of food eaten, in the manner of eating it.

If the food is eaten too rapidly, it will not be properly divided, and when swallowed in coarse lumps, the digestive fluids cannot readily act upon it. On account of the insufficient mastication, the saliva will be deficient in quantity, and, as a consequence, the starch will not be well digested, and the stomach will not secrete a sufficient amount of gastric juice. It is not well to eat only soft or liquid food, as we are likely to swallow it without proper chewing. A considerable proportion of hard food, which requires thorough mastication, should be eaten at every meal.

Drinking Freely at Meals is harmful, as it not only encourages hasty eating, but dilutes the gastric juice, and thus lessens its activity. The food should be chewed until sufficiently moistened by saliva to allow it to be swallowed. When large quantities of fluid are taken into the stomach, digestion does not begin until a considerable portion of the fluid has been absorbed. If cold foods or drinks are taken with the meal, such as ice-cream, ice-water, iced milk or tea, the stomach is chilled, and a long delay in the digestive process is occasioned.

The Indians of Brazil carefully abstain from drinking when eating, and the same custom prevails among many other savage tribes.

Eating between Meals.
The habit of eating apples, nuts, fruits, confectionery, etc., between meals is exceedingly harmful, and certain to produce loss of appetite and indigestion. The stomach as well as the muscles and other organs of the body requires rest. The frequency with which meals should be taken depends somewhat upon the age and occupation of an individual. Infants take their food at short intervals, and owing to its simple character, are able to digest it very quickly. Adults should not take food oftener than three times a day; and persons whose employment is sedentary say, in many cases at least, adopt with advantage the plan of the ancient Greeks, who ate but twice a day.

Simplicity in Diet.
Taking too many kinds of food at a meal is a common fault which is often a cause of disease of the digestive-organs. Those nations are the most hardy and enduring whose dietary is most simple. The Scotch peasantry live chiefly upon oatmeal, the Irish upon potatoes, milk, and oatmeal, the Italian upon peas, beans, macaroni, and chestnuts; yet all these are noted for remarkable health and endurance. The natives of the Canary Islands, an exceedingly well-developed and vigorous race, subsist almost chiefly upon a food which they call gofio, consisting of parched grain, coarsely ground in a mortar and mixed with water.

Eating when Tired.
It is not well to eat when exhausted by violent exercise, as the system is not prepared to do the work of digestion well. Sleeping immediately after eating is also a harmful practice. The process of digestion cannot well be performed during sleep, and sleep is disturbed by the ineffective efforts of the digestive organs. Hence the well-known evil effects of late suppers.

Eating too Much.
Hasty eating is the greatest cause of over-eating. When one eats too rapidly, the food is crowded into the stomach so fast that nature has no time to cry, ‘Enough,’ by taking away the appetite before too much has been eaten. When an excess of food is taken, it is likely to ferment or sour before it can be digested. One who eats too much usually feels dull after eating.”

The Natural Marketing Institute’s (NMI) Health & Wellness Trends Database reports women are 34 percent more likely to suffer from digestive disorders than men. No one is certain whether the difference is related to hormones, stress, diet, or all three.

Preliminary research suggests a strong link between ovarian hormones and increased gastrointestinal problems. The studies show transit time slows significantly during the last two weeks of a woman’s monthly cycle and digestive complaints increase significantly right before a period start.

Many health care professionals speculate the higher rate of GI problems in women is due to dietary differences. The September 2005, Journal of the American Dietetic Association, reported that women had the lowest fiber and highest fat intake. The study also found that constipation affects twice as many women as men.

A wholesome diet high in fiber, stress management, and Chlorella pyrenoidosa can help. A study conducted at the Virginia Commonwealth University, School of Medicine found that taking Sun Chlorella helped improve digestive concerns in more than 90 percent of the study participants.(3)

Chlorella pyrenoidosa is a fresh water, green alga. It contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals, all essential amino acids, and nucleic acids. Its high fiber content can help women in a number of ways. In addition to helping with occasional constipation, high fiber helps support healthy cholesterol levels, helps with PMS, and supports menstrual regularity.

Not too long ago, a blogger friend of mine was asking me if he should acquire his own domain and hosting. He had been using a free blogging platform for a year and realized that it was about time to move forward. Personally, I find that having my own hosting presents more flexibility and ownership benefits opposed to free blogging platforms. Also, if you have your own hosting, you can also have the option of hosting more than one site on the same account, making it more manageable. Perhaps you are new to multiple domain hosting and would like to find more, you can click on the link to read related articles and tutorials that will assist your blogging and web hosting needs.

Let’s realize that life is only 10% of what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.  We’re responsible for our own actions and attitudes, and changing them when appropriate.  When you’re around people/things that are uplifting and positive, you feel that way.  You have more confidence in yourself, and know you can change whatever needs changing. If you can make your home or workplace such a place you’ll find yourself happier with more positive workers and higher production.

It’s the long weekends for us here and I can tell that my preschooler is getting bored from not having any busy activities to occupy him. Since I was recovering from a cold and mild fever, I insisted that we should head for a light and plain meal, nothing rich and oily. I’m one of those who prefer an organic meal when I’m ill, just like choosing a natural acne treatment over one that is full of strong chemicals.

Just when Clayton got too bored in the afternoon and started using the stool and steel basket as a drum set, daddy pulled out a Child Size Junior Drum Set (for kids) that he had kept for months! He wants to wait til Clayton is ready and it seems that he is today! Clayton was happily drumming away his Child Size Junior Drum Set and that kept him busy for a couple of hours. Work at home parents do need to be creative in keeping their children occupied and entertained so that work can get done… sometimes, we just depend on caregivers or the school to do the job.

Whether you work from home or have an office to go to, chances are if you are in marketing, you would notice that video marketing is becoming popular especially if you want to reach a certain target audience. Plus, some of these marketing methods don’t cost an arm or an leg (like traditional advertisement in the print media), but the online reach spreads like wild fire, faster and more effective than you can imagine! Here’s one example:
