[www.keralites.net] Get More Juice from Lemon

To get more juice from a lemon, heat it in the microwave for 10 seconds, roll it on your work surface, then squeeze.

Food too spicy? Too much ginger or chili ruining your meal? Add a squeeze of lemon juice to tone it down.

To avoid clumping, freeze berries, meatballs and the like on a baking sheet. Then transfer them to zip-lock bags.

To peel garlic, put the cloves inside one metal bowl, covering with another metal bowl. Shake vigorously.

To keep milk past it's expiration date add salt. A pinch of salt in a gallon will do it. The salt slows the rate of bacteria growth.

When boiling corn on the cob, add a tablespoon of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness.

To see if an egg is still fresh, put it in water. Fresh eggs sink; bad ones float.

Cream whips better when cold, in a cold bowl.

If you are going to be getting fat or oil on your hands (e.g. when working with minced meat by hand) wet your hands first and you'll find your hands loads easier to clean.

Nuts tend to sink in cakes and loaves. To help prevent this, toast them or toss them in a bit of flour from the recipe before adding them to the batter.

Restore bubbles in sparking wine or champagne by added a raisin or two into the bottle.

If you only need a few drops of lemon juice from your lemon, don't cut it in half. Instead, save its moisture by puncturing it with a metal skewer and squeezing out just what you need.

Keep hard cheese from drying out by spreading butter or margarine on the cut sides to seal in moisture.

When vegetables like radishes, celery or carrots have gone soggy or limp, immerse them in a bowl of ice water and a slice of raw potato (it will work without the potato, but not quite as well). The veggies will firm up before your eyes!

Bananas keep longer in a bunch.

Honey does not go bad. Don't throw it away when it gets cloudy.

For kale, chard, mustard greens, and collards, instead of cutting them out with a knife, simply "zip" the leaves off. With one hand, hold a leaf at the bottom by the thickest part of the stem. With the other hand, gently pinch the leaf with your index finger and thumb and pull it up and off along the stem.

When grating cheese, spray the surface of the grater with cooking spray to prevent the cheese from sticking. Or you can use vegetable oil lightly.

Use cooking spray on plastic storage containers to prevent stains from tomato sauce, marinara, chili, or any sauce that might stain your Tupperware.

You need cold hands when working with dough for pie crusts or biscuits. Before you begin, run your hands under very cold water and dry them thoroughly.

[www.keralites.net] BACK PAIN

B A C K P A I N

Easy and Effective Back Exercises

Back pain is one of the most persistent, chronic pains we must deal with in our lifetime, and we'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't had to deal with them from time to time. That is why it's important to work on the right areas and muscles that not only prevent muscle pain by lowering the stress on our back and lower back areas of the spine, but also help to alleviate the pain that comes with it.
Here are 4 simple yet effective exercises you can perform a few times a week to protect your back in the present and in the future...

The Bridge

1. Lay on your back, feet on the floor, knees bent, legs slightly apart, at the width of your hip.

2. Clench your buttocks and lift it upwards, slowly, vertebra by vertebra, until you get to about shoulder height.

3. Count slowly to 3 and slowly lower yourself, vertebra by vertebra, while keeping your stomach muscles clenched.

How Much: Do this 10-12 times for a complete session.

What it does: This exercise neutralizes the daily stress the spine deals with. It stretches the muscles that bend the thigh and stengthens the back stabilizers and the lower back muscles. Also, it works your stomach muscles to keep your balance and keep more pressure off your back.

Note: Remember to be patient and go slow.

1. Stand on six (hands, knees, tip of feet) touching the ground, knees at hip height, your elbows a bit bent, your palms at a height with your shoulders. Keep your stomach tight but don't move your back of twist your hip.

2. At the count of 3, raise opposite hand and leg to a horizontal level and keep them there for 3 seconds.

4. Slowly and patiently, raise that time up to 10 seconds. Add a motion of raising and lowering your opposite hands and legs, while keeping your stomach tight and your elbows locked.

How Much: Repeat this 6 times for each side.

What it does: Strengthens your core muscles, strengthens the area of the shoulders and the stabilizing muscles, improves on posture and coordination - to help the spine perform day to day activities such as walking, running, dancing or carrying.

Side Position
back pain exercises

1. Lay on your right side in a straight line, legs continuing the line of your main body. Lean on your arm, while you make sure the elbow is at a straight line under your shoulder.

2. Clench the stomach muscles lights and gently lift your hip from the floor.

3. Hold this position for 20-40 seconds (according to your progress) and gently lower yourselves (no dropping down!).

How Much: Do this 3 times for each side.

What it does: The exercise builds up the strength and stamina of the stabilizing muscles, strengthening your waists and lower back.

Forward Lunges

1. Stand up straight and put your hands on your waists.

2. Make a lunge forward, while bending the knee on the forward leg to 90 degrees and bending the knee on the back leg until it comes close to the floor.

3. Again, do NOT hurry. Do this slowly, and remember it's important to keep stability, no wobbling. Keep your stomach tight.

How Much: Do this 8-10 times for each leg.

What is it good for: The exercise improves the body's posture and strengthens your control of your core muscles. This is key to protecting the spine while walking, running or climbing stairs. The exercise uses all the important stabilizing muscles.

Tip: Try to get to a stage where you can actually touch the floor with the knee of your back leg.
