[www.keralites.net] These Dutch Places Are Great Reasons to Leave Amsterdam

 

Get Out of Amsterdam When in the Netherlands! The Netherlands is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, combining gorgeous waterways, lush vegetation, ideal weather, and fascinating architecture. Sadly, many tourists don't venture out of Amsterdam (the Netherlands' capital), and miss out on all the beauty this country has to offer. Whether you've visited before or you'd like to go there in the future, remember these 13 locations, some of which surpass Amsterdam in beauty, and all of which will provide you with a trip of a lifetime. 1. Keukenhof Gardens, Lisse The Keukenhof Gardens are spectacular botanical gardens located in the city of Lisse, and have earned the nickname "Europe's Gardens". Established in 1949 to allow flower merchants and growers to display the Netherlands' flower variety, it now sees some 7 million new flowers planted yearly. These gardens spread over 320,000 square meters (3.4 million square feet), making them the world's largest flower gardens, and attracting scores of visitors annually. Please note that tours are available during tulip season (March-May). Click here to visit the gardens' official website and get more information about the flowers, as well as visiting times. 2. Markthal, Rotterdam Markthal is a large market located in a huge compound in the city of Rotterdam that also includes apartments and office buildings. The new compound was opened in 2014, and cost $201 million. It has 228 apartments and over 100 stores, bars, and food stands. The building itself is made of grey stone, and the front is decorated with small glass windows, held in place with steel wire. Visitors can also enjoy the world's largest mural, painted over 4,000 pieces of glass in the building's inner part. The mural is the work of artist Arno Coenen, which was selected out of nine international contestants and drawn in a unique three-dimensional method. 3. Ijsselmeer The Ijsselmeer was created in 1932 when an inland sea, the Zuiderzee, was closed by a 32-kilometer (20-mile) dam, the Afsluitdijk. This fresh water lake's average depth is 5-6 meters (16-19 feet), and its surface freezes over entirely during the winter. 4. Gouda The city of Gouda is located in the south of Holland and was established in 1272. If the name seems familiar, it's because this is the place of origin of the famous Gouda cheese. Gouda's traditional cheese market is held every summer and is a remarkable experience, bringing together all the local farmers, who bring and sell their homemade cheeses. Traditional cheese tasting is done by pushing a hollowed cylinder into a cheese wheel, and each purchase is done the old-fashioned way, allowing tourists to see the celebratory weighing ceremony. Like Source 5. Giethoorn The small town of Giethoorn is located in the Dutch province of Overijssel in the east of the country, and its name is an abbreviation of "Goat Horns" in Dutch. When it was established, instead of building roads, residents instead used the plethora of waterways and moved from place to place by boat. This has given rise to the town's nickname: "The Venice of the Netherlands". Nowadays, the town is divided into a modern area, which includes roads and modern houses, and a traditional area with its water canals and traditional Dutch homes. 6. Binnenhof, The Hague While Amsterdam is the Netherlands' capital, the Hague is where most of the country's government bodies are located, including the royal palace. The Binnenhoff, located in the center of The Hague, is a courtyard built in medieval times and since the 13th-Century, it has been the home of the Dutch government. These days, it is home to the houses of parliament, the office of the prime minister, and the Hall of Knights (used for official events). The Hall of Knights is open for organized visits once a week. 7. Madurodam This miniature town can be found close to The Hague, and serves as a great attraction, particularly for families with children. The tiny town was created in 1952, as a donation from the parents of George Maduro, a Jewish officer in the Dutch army that was murdered in a concentration camp, and whose parents wished to commemorate him in a way that would make children happy. The town is built in a quarter-circle shape, and walking through it will take you past miniaturized models of the royal palace, the ancient town, and some more famous, modern buildings. One of the most beloved structures is a tiny version of a chocolate factory, that, for one euro, will send a small truck up to the roof with a candy bar. Madurodam is accessible to parents with baby strollers, as well as disabled people. 8. The Neeltje Jans Artificial Island Located in the Zeeland province, close to the Belgian border, Neeltje Jans was created as a great wave barrier. The barrier protects the Netherlands' shoreline from waves coming from the North Sea. Construction lasted from 1950 and 1997 and is considered to be one of the Seven Modern Marvels of the World. Among the many gorgeous lookout points, the island is also home to a water park that both parents and children can enjoy all year round, and includes water slides, pools, a seal show and changing exhibitions. 9. Breda The city of Breda is located in the south of the Netherlands, by the Belgian border, and is the perfect place for any architecture enthusiasts, as well as people who wish to see the more classical Dutch architectural styles. Roaming the alleyways of the old city reveals glimpses of preserved medieval buildings, and the local church offers a wonderful vantage point that overlooks most of the area. At the beginning of every September, Breda turns bright orange as it holds the official international Redhead Festival. 10. Delft The city of Delft in the south of the Netherlands contains many narrow alleys, wide water canals, and bridges with breathtaking views. Delft's buildings and churches are built in an impressive Gothic style, and it is famous for the many workshops that produce amazing works of art made of blue china. The tradition of producing blue china in Delft goes back to the 17th-Century, and tourists can purchase some of these incredible works of art in the many workshops and museums. 11. The Schermer Region In Dutch, Schermer means "Clear Lake", and is a beautiful rustic region in the north of the Netherlands that, until 2015, was considered to be a separate municipality, but is now part of Alkmaar. This serene area is what comes to mind when people think of Holland: wooden bridges spanning over water canals, large windmills, thick vegetation, and tiny wooden homes. A visit to Schermer will feel like a visit to a fairy-tale land.  12. Hoge Veluwe National Park, Gelderland Hoge Veluwe Park is 21 square miles (55 square kilometers) in size, and is located in the Gelderland municipality, in eastern Netherlands. The park was established in 1909 as a private estate belonging to a rich businessman and, in 1935, he handed it over to a foundation. It eventually became the Netherlands' second national park. It was built on the country's largest terminal moraine (the edge of a glacier, marking its final advance). This makes the area incredibly diverse, with a variety of natural views, unique vegetation, and an unusually large concentration of wildlife. In springtime, visitors can see deer, wild boars, mouflons (wild sheep), badgers, foxen, and more. 13. Biggekerke, Zeeland Added to the Zeeland municipality in 1966, Biggekerke is a town that is located in the south-western part of Holland, populated by less than a thousand people. This sleepy town is the best place for anyone who wishes to experience a traditional Dutch lunch, lying down on gorgeous grassy fields that overlook beautiful streams and watching some of the world's most magical sunsets.

[www.keralites.net] Science Has Shown How Amazing Pomegranates Really Are

 

Weightlifters Demonstrate True Pomegranate Power! Pomegranates are renowned for the amount of antioxidants they contain, providing a whole range of health benefits. In fact, it's quite commonplace for people to drink pomegranate juice regularly. What's more is that scientific studies have shown that it can assist active adults and athletes with their athletic performance. Let's take a closer look at this truly amazing fruit: Pomegranate Facts 1. Pomegranates have been cultivated for thousands of years, and had a significant role in cultures from ancient China and India, to the societies that inhabited the shores of the Mediterranean. In fact, the pomegranate is somewhat synonymous with the latter region. 2. Each part of a pomegranate contains valuable nutrients and antioxidants: •  Juice - quercetin, anthocyanins, vitamin C, ellagic acid, gallic acid, catechin. •  Seeds - linolenic acid (CLA), linolenic acid, oleic acid, punicic acid. •  Peel and pulp - quercetin, gallagic acid, kaempferol, punicalagin •  Roots and bark - gallic acid, punicotannic acid, mannite, pelletierine, n-methylisopelletierine. •  Flower - oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, anthocyanins 3. The outer parts of the fruit are normally consumed as extracts, whereas the juice and seeds are the parts that we usually eat and drink. 4. The antioxidants in pomegranates work in different ways to boost health and athletic performance. Our muscles during exercise Depending on the intensity of a workout, our body undergoes varying degrees of stress. Muscle tissues, cells and the central nervous system are all affected. Exercise-induced stress or oxidative stress means that normal bodily functions are compromised as a result of physical exertion. This results in the release of inflammatory chemicals, increased lactic acid levels, discomfort and decreased energy. Pomegranate juice helps athletes and active adults to train with less fatigue and discomfort, so it is a popular fluid for them to drink in order to improve their workouts. So how does pomegranate juice help? The abundance of polyphenols, quercetin and nitrates found in pomegranate have been scientifically proven to improve exercise performance and muscular strength. Polyphenols are phytochemicals that are found in plant-based food sources. They are also known as phenolics and are what give pomegranates their vibrant color. Polyphenols reduce inflammation and protect the cardiovascular system. An example of a polyphenol in pomegranate juice is gallic acid, which improves muscle recovery and strength. Pomegranates are also rich in quercetin, which is a naturally-occurring bioflavonoid shown to reduce inflammation, remove toxins, and decrease bodily cellular damage. Furthermore, this substance also contributes to muscle recovery and improved exercise performance. Another nutrient that pomegranates are rich in is nitrates, which also help with athletic performance. Once consumed, nitrates turn into nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide dilates the blood vessels and increases oxygen delivery to working muscles, in turn having a positive impact on cardiorespiratory performance and muscle function. The research backing up all of the above The athletes under observation were Olympic weightlifters. Seeing as the sport involves intense training that's usually followed by several days of weakness and soreness, the athletes who practice it seemed like the perfect candidates to study the effect of pomegranate juice on muscle recovery. Nine elite weightlifters volunteered for the study. Eligible volunteers were required to have at least three years of training experience and train at least five times per week, with a session duration of 90-120 minutes each time. All of the selected weightlifters were in good health, free of injury and not taking antioxidants or anti-inflammatory drugs during the month prior to the testing period. Their vital signs were recorded prior to the start of the experiment, and then they were given a placebo followed by separate training using pomegranate juice supplementation. The weightlifters were made to drink 750ml of pomegranate juice two days before the research started, and continued drinking such an amount throughout its entirety. The results showed that pomegranate juice improved systolic blood pressure both during and after training. Systolic blood pressure measures the pressure in the blood vessels as the heart is beating. The juice seemed to have a positive effect on heart rate and glucose readings. It also reduced blood serum biomarkers, which are usually indicative of muscle injury when they return high values. Other Health Benefits of Pomegranate Juice 1. It fights cancer Research has shown that the antioxidants in pomegranates inhibit cancer cell growth and the progression of both breast and prostate cancer. 2. It improves heart health Regular consumption of pomegranate juice is said to reduce the incidence of atherosclerosis, improve blood pressure, and reduce cholesterol levels. In other words, the juice has a cardioprotective effect 3. It's a hormone replacement therapy alternative Seeing as it's a rich source of polyphenols, pomegranate consumption is a much safer alternative to hormone replacement therapy, which reduces the risk of breast cancer.
