Maintaining your Paleo Diet with Omega-3 Pork

Posted by soutv on February 22, 2017

 

 

Paleo diet is considered to be the healthiest way to eat and stay fit. The principles of Paleo diet  is based mainly on foods presumed to have been available to Paleolithic humans; in other words- man’s ancestral diet. One of the best components of your Paleo diet is Flodins Omega 3-pork. What most people do not know is that following the Paleo diet may lead to improvements in terms of body composition and metabolic effects. Different studies have indicated that the modern diet is full of refined foods, sugars, and Trans fats, which are the root cause of most diseases.

hks3

Types of Foods to include in Your Diet

Once you are committed to the Paleo diet, there are types of food that you should include in your meal plan and others that should be avoided. Some of the best options to give you quality nutrients include:

 

  • Fats derived from nuts
  • Seeds
  • Avocado
  • Olive oil
  • Grass-fed meat and Omega-3 pork

 

One of the greatest differences in the modern diet from our ancestral diet is the amounts and types of fat found in modern grain fed animals vs. the amounts and types of fats found in grass fed or wild meat, fowl and fish. What we observe is wild meat is remarkably lean, and has relatively low amounts of saturated fats, while supplying significant amounts of beneficial omega-3 fats such as EPA and DHA. In summary, free range meat like Flodins Omega-3 pork is far healthier than conventional meat.

Rich Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Paleo diet would not be complete without omega-3 fatty acids. Flodins has discovered that adding rapeseed to the pigs’ food boosts the amount of the omega-3 fatty acids in the pork meat. As a matter of fact, recent tests have proved that their pork has 4 times more omega-3 fatty acids than other pigs that are reared using conventional means. When you have a diet that is rich in low in saturated fats and rich in Omega-3, you will enjoy a wide range of health benefits. This is known to be effective in reducing the risks of the cardiovascular medical problems.

 

Meat Options

In the event that you are a vegetarian, then it might be a challenge to maintain a Paleo diet. While you can get healthy fats from other sources, meat is one of the best sources of healthy fats. Fortunately, in most cases, you will find that the restriction of the meat leaves you with at least one option. You should consider Flodins Omega-3 pork, which is quite instrumental in providing the essential elements for your Paleo diet.

Snapchat is rapidly becoming a prominent social media platform; it is estimated that there are 200 million active users on Snapchat, with 400 million snaps being sent per day.

  • When a user sends a “snap” to their friends/followers, they can indicate the amount of time it will be viewable, from 1-10 seconds, before it disappears. Users can also add photos/videos to their “Snapchat Story” where the content can be viewed by all of their followers, as many times as they like, for 24 hours.

Before you start, choose a unique name for your brand to help your followers recognize you. Also, when you add a contact number associated with your business, your customers will notice your business on Snapchat when they are adding you on this fast growing social site.

How to be Successful in an Orchestral Audition

Posted by soutv on February 15, 2017

 

Since the beginning, Asian Youth Orchestra (AYO) has carried on the legacy to select the best young musicians to play at international musical programs. With an eagle’s eye view, this award-winning, leading orchestra pulls out the hidden talent from thousands of youth who come for auditions and then trains them for successful orchestral performance. Continuing this legacy henceforth, AYO is determined to pick the artists who have practiced hard and are prepared for their audition and tough competition.

AYO facebook cover2017

To be successful in an orchestral audition, an artist should use a metronome, which helps in preparing for a winning audition. Start off slowly until you recognize all the rhythms and notes and practice with different subdivisions, and macro beats. Remember to practice with the beat- not on the down-beat. While you practice, try recording yourself. Listening to the recording you just made can be eye-opening-and since you are your biggest and finest critic, it will help you notice areas where you need to improve. For betterment in your progress, you can first listen for rhythmic accuracy, then dynamics and listen for intonation for the third time. Recording yourself is especially helpful the closer to the audition that you get, when you are more prepared and can be more specific about what needs to improve. However, the more you do it, the more you’ll improve.

25th-anniversary-concert

Next; play among musicians and other people who may appreciate your progress and will give you some good feedback. Lastly, have a “dress rehearsal”. Try to simulate the audition conditions you’ll be performing in. For example; wear the clothing you plan to wear on audition day, recruit a small audience to listen to you and play through the repertoire-no stopping, no talking. Practice hard, be prepared and we’ll see you at the Asian Youth Orchestra (AYO) Auditions!
