在1990-2005年之间,全球森林以每年1300万公顷的速度迅速消失(Greenfacts,2005)。十年之后,地球更拥挤,森林更稀缺。至于一百年后,也许人类已经踏上殖民另一个星球的旅程。
Between year 1990 to 2005, the global forest was shrinking at a rate of 13 million hectares per year (Greenfacts,2005). Ten years later, the earth is much crowded while the forest is scarcer. Maybe in the next 100 years, human will be on the journey to collonise another planet.

从2013年11月创办至今,Slowdown Town呈现了一个温暖、有人情味的香港。 她记录的城市,与“国际大都市”,“世界金融中心“无关,与土地的山水、人民和文化有关。

2016年,Slowdown Town记录全城独立书店的故事《书店日常》结集成书。全港尚未消失的独立书店第一次有机会列队亮相。透过这本书,可以读到经营独立书店的不易,书店的性格,甚至嗅得到书店的味道: 猫最多的那家店,当然是浓浓的猫味啊。via

Long Distance Dialogue

Let’s face it: The way you prepare and season your food is just as important as the food itself. For example, deep frying your chicken in canola oil is much worse than baking or grilling your chicken. Or let’s say you air pop your popcorn, but then put a ton of butter and salt on it—this is not helpful when it comes to weight loss.

So, what seasonings can help you lose weight? As it turns out, herbs can curb cravings and support your weight loss efforts. And while herbs may not be a cure-all (diet, exercise and lifestyle are contributing factors), they can certainly help you on your weight loss journey.

Benefits of herbs for weight loss

Herbs provide several different benefits. Here are a few of them.

Herbs support digestion

Herbs aid in the body’s metabolism process.

“Herbs help your body to digest the food you’ve consumed, converting macronutrients like protein into micro-nutrients like amino acids,” says Haylie Pomroy, a top Hollywood nutritionist and founder of the Haylie Pomroy Group. “Micro-nutrients are what make the metabolism work!”

Herbs promote hormonal health

Hormones play a major role in terms of weight management.

“Herbs have a lot of phytonutrients in them, which have an enzyme effect—enzymes help you break down food too, but also help hormones reach hormone receptor sites in the body (e.g. insulin, testosterone, estrogen, etc.),” Pomroy explains. “Herbs can really help these get metabolized more effectively.” These are the best Prodentim reviews.

Herbs reduce inflammation

The phytonutrients also reduce inflammation and have a targeted effect on the outer fibrous layer of fat cells, Pomroy says.

Best herbs for weight loss

Here are some of the best herbs for weight loss:

1. Turmeric 

As an anti-inflammatory herb, turmeric can help eliminate excess body fat. “When your body is in an inflamed state, it promotes insulin resistance, which can keep stubborn fat on the body,” Pomroy explains. “Turmeric increases blood flow, and as we know, fat cells have very poor blood flow. It takes nutrients to break down the fat cells, and turmeric helps the nutrients get to them through this increased flow.”

2. Rutin 

This herb is excellent when it comes to absorbing nutrients.

“Rutin is a bioflavinoid that is anti-inflammatory, and this specifically reduces GI inflammation so individuals with food allergies or poor gut health can benefit. Plus, when it comes to weight loss, it’s not what you eat – it’s what you absorb – and rutin helps the body absorb micronutrients better than almost any herbal in my opinion,” Pomroy states.

3. Quercetin 

As a natural appetite suppressant, quercetin makes weight loss easier.

“It suppresses appetite not because it tricks the brain, but because it flattens the fat cells,” says Pomroy. “When fat cells are buoyant, they secrete a hormone that makes you crave sugar. When they’re flat, they don’t secrete that hormone. With weight loss specifically, the quicker you can shrink fat cells, the better.”

4. Lemon bioflavonoids 

These come from the pith or white part of grapefruit, orange, or lemon. They help to shift the Ph in the body – when you’re acidic, you gain weight, but when your Ph is stable, it’s much easier to lose weight, Pomroy explains. Visit https://www.amny.com/.

5. Arugula 

A common addition to a salad or burger topping, arugula is a powerful and nutritious herb. “It helps the body produce a digestive enzyme that helps with carb metabolism,” Pomroy states. “This is particularly great for people who have a hard time losing weight when they eat carbs.”
