The Italian Food Pyramid


Image : http://www.flickr.com


The Italian food pyramid is a version of the US Department of Agriculture food pyramid but aimed at those who use them a Mediterranean diet, or Italian diet. The original food pyramid was designed to try and reverse the growing trend of heart disease and other diseases caused by bad nutrition and bad diet. In the US this is because the population has more than tendency to eat junk food and skimp on the essential vitamins provided by fruits and vegetables.

So how does the Italian food pyramid differ? The Italian food pyramid basically concentrates on more of the foods that make up the Mediterranean diet. There is much more of an emphasis on eating foods that have a plant origin. Not only are fruits and vegetables eaten a lot more by the Italians and Mediterranean's, but they also eat many more grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, olives, and olive oil. This is always going to make for good healthy food, packed with vitamins and minerals. There is also much more emphasis on eating fish and shellfish at least twice a week.

Is been shown over the last few years that the healthiness of the Mediterranean diet has got a lot to do with the fact that Italians and Mediterranean on the whole have far less chronic diseases which are associated with the Western diet such as heart attacks and strokes etc. The Italian food pyramid is one of the most nutritious food pyramids in the world. It is also one of the tastiest food pyramids to follow. Italian cuisine, along with all Mediterranean cuisines, incorporates some of the best foods that are grown in the region.




There is not much that we can say which is bad about the Italian food pyramid. In fact if all Americans and Western Europeans were to follow the Italian food pyramid, or the Mediterranean food pyramid, we would save the taxpayer a fortune in hospital bills that have been caused by bad diet and bad nutrition.

Expat Pubs in Milan


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Walking into Pogue Mahone's is like finding a small piece of Ireland in the centre of Milan. It's not your typical Italian wannabe Irish pub where the décor is pretentious and the atmosphere typically Milanese. Here people from all walks of life prop up the bar and drink pints often alongside a rowdy pub crowd - it's the real McCoy. The first thing you'll notice is how small it is, but there's plenty of standing space with a few tables surrounded by picture-covered walls creating an authentic Irish atmosphere. Pogue's is one of the few sport oriented pubs in Milan, showing live sport 7 days a week on 2 large TV screens, usually with English commentary. This is complemented by a large selection of beers ranging from Guinness to McEwans. On Sundays their equivalent of a full English breakfast is a brunch of sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, baked beans, mashed Potato and Prague roasted ham, particularly comforting for those who may feel home-sick.

A little further north, near the Duomo you may also want to consider The Football English Pub which offers you a warm welcoming atmosphere to enjoy an evening of sports entertainment with friends or family Sky sporting events: football, rugby and much more are shown while enjoying a choice of over 35 whiskeys or international beers. They transmit any football match scheduled during the day (for important events a reservation is recommended). Snacks are available anytime based on English breakfast or American style dessert, hamburgers, hotdogs or a variety Italian sandwiches.

Located in north central Europe is Poland, which shares borders to the east with the Russian Federation, Belarus, Ukraine and Lithuania, to the south with the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic and to the west with Germany. To the north lies the Baltic Sea. Except the Carpathian Mountains in the south and the Oder and Neisse rivers in the west, Poland is a plain with no natural boundaries. The Baltic coast provides great sandy beaches, bays, steep cliffs and dunes. The Northern Poland is dominated by lakes, islands and wooded hills joined by many rivers and canals. . Other major rivers are the Vistula, Warta, and Bug, which are important to commerce.

Poland has become one of the major destinations for travelers because of its beauty that can be admired in both its old cities and in the wild scenery of its national parks and nature reserves. It is also a nation with a proud cultural heritage, and theater, music and opera companies. Rich in natural mineral resources such as iron, zinc, copper and rock salt, Poland has the Wieliczka salt mine. This mine is constructed in the 13th century, which contains an entire town below ground with a sanatorium, theatre, church and café. And everything from stairs to chandeliers is made from salt. Among the Poland's traditional dishes are beetroot soup, cabbage rolls and pierogi. Pierogi are dumplings stuffed with cabbage and mushrooms.

Skiing is very popular in Poland especially in the Tatra Mountains. Indeed, the Bieszczady Mountains in the southeast are highly rated for cross-country skiing. Ice boating is also great in Poland's frozen waterways. Poland's rivers are particularly good for bull trout. You may head to the Brodnica or Mysliborz lakelands, or the rivers Brda, Czarna Hancza and Obra if you are canoeists. If you are in the Beskid, Bieszczady and Sudety mountains, both hang gliding and paragliding are popular. Furthermore, Poland's national parks and nature reserves offer a variety of hiking trails through different types of landscapes ranging from dunes, beaches, rivers and lakes to deep forests and high mountains.

It is best to consider vacation rentals for your accommodation if you are traveling to Poland for a holiday. It is like you are in your home away from home because these vacation homes, apartments, and villas are well-kept and maintained and have all your favorite kitchen and dining appliances and utensils.
