What is the best local market or shopping in London?

Our smart travellers say:

- Broadway Market is a great Saturday morning market with lots of organic and local products. It’s just north of hackney.

- Borough Market is the best for foodies. Open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Get there early on a Saturday (before 11am if you can) because it gets really REALLY crowded. Then you can stop off for a coffee at the Monmouth coffee shop before heading home to eat all your purchases for lunch.

- Spitalfields Market a short walk from Liverpool Street station. Lots of varied stalls and plenty of places to eat and drink.

- Portobello Market over weekends for all kinds of stuff… food, fashion, arts and crafts.

Before You Move Overseas

By Gerry Lamb

 Moving Overseas can be a very hard decision to make. Some move overseas because their jobs require them to. In order to advance in their careers, some must make the decision to move. Some people move because of their family. When people wish to stay together, someone must sacrifice and move to another place. Some move because they want something to change in their lives. Moving overseas is like experiencing a fresh start in life. It is often the case that people who decide on moving overseas do so because they feel that they will be leaving their mistakes behind.

There is an Asian saying that goes: “he who does not know how to look back where he is coming from will never get to his destination”. Simply put, moving overseas may seem like a fresh start in life, but we must be careful never to truly forget our origins. Some people, when they go overseas, lose their identities. They easily become assimilated into the culture of their new home. Generally, this is not such a bad thing. However, if you forget your heritage, then you might end up making the same mistakes that you did in the past. Remembering your origins is like reviewing all the lessons that you have learned within the great classroom of life.

Before you make a decision concerning moving overseas, there are three voices you should listen to:

a) Your initial reaction - this, of course, is the reaction that you get before you take the time to truly consider the dilemma. Your initial reaction shows your instinctive decision. Many people have been saved by making decisions based on instinct. However, before you decide based on this, you should also consider other voices.

b) The opinion of others - after you have heard what you want, take the time to listen to what others think. This can be very helpful in assessing the situation as there may be some things which you fail to see from your perspective. This is especially important if other people will be affected by your moving overseas.

c) What needs to be done - your initial reaction constitutes what you want to do. After you have assessed the situation, ask yourself what needs to be done. Take the opinion of others and the demands of the current situation and see what you really need to do.

Some people might say that these things are contradicting. There’s really nothing that one can do about that. What you need to do is to find the heart of the contradiction. The decision regarding moving overseas is hard enough without having multiple voices inside your head. If you find the heart of the contradiction, however, you will learn that there is one voice which contains all of these opinions. And you would be able to make the right decision.

Think of moving overseas as a whole new adventure. Think of it as a new chapter in your life waiting to be written. You should always remember that life is just one big adventure and there are times when you have to take risks to enjoy it. You should also remember that no one can make you do anything that you truly do not want to do. In the end, the decision to move overseas will still be yours to make.

Increase In Bifidobacteria
Helps Stay Fit!

By Gyan K

 A normal human body is said to contain at least 85% friendly bacteria in the lower intestine. It is these friendly bacterium which is known as bifidobacteria. It stands for beneficial bacteria. Probiotics is a beneficial bacteria which fights disease causing microbes such as E. coli and salmonella. It is also found in a just born baby to enhance his immune system. However, the number of these beneficial bacteria drops down with change in diet. This can be increased in two ways: with natural food products consumption and probiotic products.

Food product consumption

Probiotic products

Yoghurt, soy milk and other milk products are rich in bifidobacteria. These when consumed regularly contributes to the increase in friendly microbes. Of late you have seen changing attitudes to consumption of saturated fats, salt and sugars just to name a few foods. Health conscious people are turning towards probiotic food products in order to stay fit. Friendly bacteria help minimise cholesterol level in your body. In addition to this, they also help in protein, mineral and vitamin absorption from the food consumed. It is not just absorption but it is also conducive in creating proteins and essential nutrients in your body.

Irritable bowel syndrome which is a common problem can be treated with friendly bacteria. It reduces diarrhea due to the presence of disease fighting bacteria. It reduces cholesterol from getting accumulated in your body. People who have curds and other probiotic products stay healthy and fit for long. Stress, anxiety, diet and medication can upset the balance of bacteria that are operating and create minor problems such as diarrhea, vomiting and indigestion. This is true in case of consumption of antibiotic tablets which kill both good and bad bacteria. Avoid such tablets which disrupt the balance between the good and bad bacteria.

An increase in probiotics reduces yeast infection in females. Travellers diarrhea which has resulted out of consumption of contaminated food or water can be treated with the help of beneficial bacteria. Cease the symptoms of travellers diarrhea such as loose motion, vomiting, abdominal cramps, giddiness and fever etc. by adding healthy bacteria in your diet. Have yoghurt and other milk products rich in probiotics to fight the disease causing bacteria. Research in the past has found out that nutritional factors do play an indispensable role in disease prevention. It is good to find out which are those bacteria in the fermented milk which has probiotic effect. Not all bacteria have the same effect.
