What is Whey Protein

Whey protein is a high quality protein powder from cow's milk. Milk has two proteins: Casein (approximately 80%) and Whey Protein (approximately 20%). Whey protein is more soluble than casein and also has a higher quality rating. Whey Protein is also often referred to as the "Gold Standard" of protein as it is the most nutritious protein available.

If you're not convinced, Whey Protein is one of the 5 Basic Bodybuilding Supplements

What is the difference between Whey Protein Isolate from Whey Protein Concentrate?

Whey protein isolate is the most pure and concentrated form of whey protein available. It contains 90% or more protein and very little (if any) fat and lactose. Whey protein concentrate has anywhere between 29% and 89% protein depending upon the product.

Benefits

Whey protein is a naturally complete protein, meaning that it contains all of the essential amino acids required in the daily diet. Whey protein has the ideal combination of amino acids to help improve body composition and enhance athletic performance. Whey protein also contains a rich amount of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). BCAAs are important as they are metabolized into muscle tissues directly. Whey protein is also east to digest and is efficiently absorbed into the body. It makes very good Post-Workout Shakes.

How To Squeeze More Results Out Of Each Scoop Of Protein Powder You Take

Elevated cholesterol is another factor associated with heart disease and whey protein has been shown to reduce cholesterol in a number of animal and clinical studies. Certain bioactive components in whey protein may be responsible for the cholesterol reduction however additional research is needed in this area.

Whey protein contains many of the same components found in human breast milk and for this reason, is a key ingredient in a wide variety of infant formulas, including those for premature infants.

Side Effects

There are no documented side effects provided a person does not have an allergy to dairy proteins or does not need to restrict dairy products for medical reasons. If you are allergic to dairy proteins please consult with a physician prior to consuming any type of whey protein.

One should not entertain a second thought when buying boat covers. Their function should not be underestimated. Boat covers are the fastest and most economical way of protecting your boat. Investing in one would not be a waste since its use can be maximized over extensive storage time especially during the winter season.

Boat covers can also be utilized during sailing, hauling, and docking. As such, they can be tailor-made or semi-tailor made lift canopies designed for every boat that you can imagine.

There are tailor-made boat covers for a specific brand, built, and type of boat. Darts and tugs make it possible for boat covers to fit the boats to a T and thus offer maximum protection. The materials are of high-grade marine canvas but are reasonably priced.

These, plus the experienced craftsmanship involved in producing such boat covers, explain their popularity among customers. These are generally water-resistant boat covers. There are others that are made from tarpaulin. Either way, these serve useful functions in docking, winter storage, sailing, new or used boats, ski boats, pontoon, fishing, deck boats, v-hull, tri-hull, inflatable, or bass boats.

There are also boat covers with a wide range of fabrics of different hues to match the boats color. The fabrics are not of the ordinary kind. They are strong and durable and are cured against sun, mold, and mildew harshness. They are also made to be flexible, unbreakable, or not easily worn.

Product standards ascertain the boat covers' durability and strength. The main fabric material is further strengthened and protected by a heavy vinyl sewn as an underlining in particularly weak areas. The seams are sewn with two- to four-ply double stitches using thread that is rot- and mildew-resistant.

As an added reinforcement, ultraviolet-resistant polyester rope is stitched on the hem surrounding with durable web tie-down loops and D-rings to ensure the secureness of the boat covers.

The semi-tailored boat covers are also available in a wide array of shapes to suit different types of boats. They also offer similar protection and resistance features as their tailor-made counterparts. Boat lift canopies, while providing a certain degree of protection, are not as extensive as the tailor-made or semi-tailor made boat covers.

Boat covers may be obtained directly from suppliers and distributors and carry a five-year warranty on the products.

Can you draw a straight line? Most adults dont consider themselves artistic. Parents do, however, worry about their toddlers art abilities. As a child care provider for the past 10 years, Ive had many discussions with parents about how their toddler is doing as far as getting ready for preschool or kindergarten. They worry a lot about the final product of their toddlers art projects. I try to explain to them that art is not just knowing how to draw a flower or a puppy, or whether or not little Jason colors in the lines. Little kids need to experience self-expression and the doing of art more than having a page from a coloring book to hang on the refrigerator.

When a two-year old puts his chubby little hand in a tub of finger paint and happily smears all of the colors together on the paper or when he makes yet another snowman out of play-doh, hes creating. Granted, he will certainly tell you that his painting is his dads truck even though you just cant see it. The important thing to remember is that by allowing our little kids to experience art in their own way, we let them show us how they see the world around them, how they feel and think.

I always enjoy art time with my toddler and preschool age groups. Yeah, they can make a mess, but they just wiggle with excitement when I take out the arts & crafts tub of supplies! Having been a military wife and lived in a few different places, Ive always returned to providing home day care. As a result, Ive had to make do with whatever space I can find in the various homes weve lived in. Theres not always a lot of room, but art can take place just about anywhere. Ive found that the activity is most effective when its pre-planned and when Ive set goals for the activity.

Art is important for toddlers because of the way it makes little kids feel special and good about themselves. When your toddler finishes a magazine cut-out collage and holds up his masterpiece to you with that beaming smile doesnt that make you feel good about both of you? Through creating simple art projects, that same toddler is not only learning to take pride in his accomplishments, but also to think and refine his hand-eye coordination and physical skills. Through art, children learn to identify colors, cause-and-effect, shapes, problem solving, sharing and cooperation among many other skills.

Parents must remember to ask toddlers or preschoolers questions about their projects that will make them think about what theyve made rather than ask them What is that? For example, C.J., tell Mommy about your painting. C.J will start to talk about his work or anything else he feels important at the time! This also shows your child that you are interested in what he thinks and arent just confused about what you see! Make sure to hang the art work up in a prominent place in your home so the entire family can enjoy it.

Art experiences are a major part of a toddlers daily activities. They have grown enough to grasp objects and tear paper and hold crayons and brushes. Naturally they are thrilled with the anticipation of a new art project, and most importantly, with the quality time spent with the important adults in his/her life.

Each year statistics show that the number of cancer cases newly diagnosed continues to rise however advances in diagnostic procedures and treatments means that more and more lives are being saved. Not surprisingly, even more people could survive cancer if they knew the common signs and symptoms to look for because the earlier that cancer is diagnosed the better the chance of curing it.

This article will outline the main symptoms that are often experienced by sufferers of the most common forms of cancer. These symptoms can vary between people and so it may be that while some people experience all of the symptoms others may only have one or two.

Most common cancer in males

Prostate cancer

Most common cancer in females

Breast cancer

Most prevalent cancers common to both males and females

Lung cancer
Colon/rectal cancer

Below are the most common symptoms that a sufferer of these cancers may experience and which may help to secure an early diagnosis:

Symptoms of Prostate Cancer

The early symptoms of prostate cancer are often ignored until they start to become a nuisance. These symptoms include:

An inability to urinate even though the sufferer has an urge to go
Prolonged urination that may take longer than normal to complete
Frequent urination that gets worse during the night hours
The feeling of needing to pass more urine even though there is none left
Slight incontinence caused by the bladder failing to release the last drops of urine

Unfortunately the same set of symptoms can be caused by at least two other prostate complaints and so a diagnosis of prostate cancer is often delayed i.e. it is masked by one of the other two conditions.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

It is very rare for breast cancer symptoms to become apparent in the diseases early stages. When symptoms do occur they usually only affect one breast and may include:

A lump in the breast which is usually painless and may be located deep within the breast tissue or just under the skin
Dimpling of the skin in the area of the lump, or swelling of the skin with an orange peel' appearance
Inversion of the nipple
A bloodstained nipple discharge

If breast cancer is not treated it can quickly spread to the nearby lymph nodes and then to other organs, such as the lungs, liver and bones where it causes additional symptoms. Breast cancer statistics suggest that the number of newly diagnosed cases remains steady however the number of deaths is falling. This may be because of advances in treatment however it may also be because breast cancer awareness is now one of the major subjects in the public eye.

Lung Cancer Symptoms

The symptoms of lung cancer depend on how far advanced the tumour is however the initial symptoms may include:

A new persistent cough, or a change in a long standing cough, sometimes with blood-streaked sputum
Chest pain which may be felt as a dull ache or as a sharp pain that is worse on inhaling Shortness of breath
Wheezing if the tumour is blocking an airway
Abnormal curvature of the finger nails, known as clubbing

Secondary lung cancer i.e. cancer that originates elsewhere in the body and travels to the lungs, may not cause any symptoms or alternatively very mild symptoms and so anybody experiencing even slight symptoms should consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Colon Cancer Symptoms

Again colon cancer can remain undetected for a number of years and any early symptoms are attributed to other less serious conditions. The symptoms to look out for include:

The presence of blood in the stools
Anaemia i.e. pale skin, tiredness etc.
A change in normal bowel movements that last longer than a few days
A feeling of needing another bowel movement even though you have just been
Other digestive symptoms i.e. nausea, vomiting, bloatedness, stomach cramps or a constant stomach ache, trapped gas.

Even though these symptoms are described as early symptoms they are in reality late symptoms and more often than not the cancer is in a late stage when it is finally diagnosed. In some cases the primary tumour i.e. that in the colon, fails to exhibit any symptoms at all and the sufferer only realizes they are ill when the cancer spreads to other areas of the body and secondary symptoms are felt there.

Passport to Wealth is a fairly new company in the home business arena. Passport to Wealth offers a home business opportunity by selling or marketing their products through the direct selling industry.

The Passport to Wealth product line is compiled of many software titles on internet marketing. The Passport to Wealth opportunity consists of marketing these programs for $997. According to the passporttowealth.com website, there are several different titles of software that come with the business.

The Passport to Wealth business opportunity contains a 2-Up compensation plan with a payout of $997 for every sale made by the qualified affiliate. The issue with the Passport compensation plan is the requirement of two sales (hence 2-Up). To get started with Passport to Wealth, a new person must pay $997 to become an Passport business associate and then give up almost $2000 ($997 x 2) from their first two qualifying sales to their qualified sponsor. This means they must give up almost $3000 before they can earn any wealth from the program. Another issue with the Passport to Wealth 2-Up program is that if you bring in someone who makes a sale or two per day, you only get their first 2 sales and then you no longer get paid on their efforts. They then breakaway from the sponsor and actually end up becoming the competition. This doesn't give the qualified PassporttoWealth sponsoring associate much motivation to help the new associate since they will ultimately become competition.

In conclusion, Passport to Wealth seems to have a decent product line, but the comp plan leaves more to be desired. Some people do well with 2-Up programs, but most struggle. If you are an experienced internet marketer and don't mind having to pass up your first 2 qualifying sales, then the Passport to Wealth business opportunity might be the right fit for you.
