So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Soy Milk: What Is It And Why Should You Drink It?

By Mike Green

Soya milk can be easily prepared at home by using the usual kitchen implements and following the guidelines as they have been outlined. Soya milk was discovered by the Chinese in 25 A. D. when they soaked the Soya beans in water and found that they exuded an awfully nutritious drink on being crushed. Thus, Soya milk was born and went on to become the most popular substitute for the normal cow's milk all over the world.

This type of milk as discovered by the Chinese has long since ridden the path to fame to have become one of the world renowned beverages today. Soya milk is prepared commercially on a large scale by a number of manufacturers and the most frequent forms of this milk in the market are found in chocolate and vanilla flavors.

The normal form of Soya milk is unflavored as well as unsweetened although it is frequently sold in the market in two flavors specifically chocolate and vanilla. The products of Soya milk might be sweetened and salty Soya milk is found only in the country of origin of this product, China.

The detection of Soya milk and its successive popularity has been a blessing for a plethora of people who do not imbibe the normal cow's milk for a number of reasons. These reasons might vary from one person to another as some may perhaps be allergic to cow's milk and some possibly will have faith in veganism which prevents one from ingesting any animal products.

The Soya milk is a rich source of plant protein. However, unlike cow's milk, Soya milk doesn't contain calcium which is then added to it during its manufacturing process and nor does it contain lactose which is the chief cause of milk allergy amongst children.

Apart from these differences, Soya milk is a plentiful source of vitamin E, lecithin and isoflavones due to which it protects the cells of the body from oxidation, prevents the onset of osteoporosis and provides immunity against breast cancer. In addition, Soya milk contains fatty acids in very little amounts due to which the user is protected against high cholesterol levels.

The ongoing rise of Soya milk's recognition has an after-effect of its rising popularity, nowadays one can find a Soya milk machine in the market sold under the category of household appliances.
