Many insect fighting chemicals on the market are the same basic ingredients with just enough variation to allow a different brand name. It's similar to buying ibuprofen. You can buy many different versions and strengths of it, but it all boils down to the same basic ingredient. Watered down versions can cause a problem as well as a waste of money.
People are usually either for or against the use of natural insecticides. Whether or not your particular choice is a benefit depends on the circumstances. How advanced is the insect infestation? What are you allergic to? What will harm your plants? What will be safe to use around your pets or livestock? What is available and accessible to you and how fast can you get it when you need it? Do you need to use more than one method of control and removal? What is cost effective?
To get the most benefit from natural insecticides, you'll need to understand the best way to use them. You should know what works best for the type of insect you're trying to control or eradicate. Be careful what you mix. Even natural insecticides can interact badly with the wrong combination of substances.
One of the biggest benefits of a natural insecticide is that it comes from nature in some form. You'll be using something made from the earth. That doesn't mean it's problem-free. It just means you're benefiting the environment and actively participating in the recycling efforts.
An example is liquid garlic. Garlic is a natural plant that is grown around the world. It can be used to keep insects off garden or farm plants.
Another example is boric acid. Boric acid is defined as a white crystalline weak acid that contains boron. Boron is a mineral substance, and minerals are of the earth.
If you use things made with what the earth provides, you benefit and so does the earth and other humans and life-forms. Using natural insecticide is a choice. It's not always the quickest way to solve your insect problem. It's not always less harmful. That's why education on your choices will be a big benefit!
Our beloved earth suffers a lot of abuse, often by well-meaning inhabitants. As the earth suffers, so does its creatures and plant life. If you take away, you should give back in a positive way. Using natural insecticides is one way to participate in a positive way.
Natural insecticides have increased in sales over the past few years and so have the vegetables and fruits made insect-free because of their use. When the mosquitoes scared us with the West Nile Virus, the citronella plant and its derivatives and products made with citronella increased dramatically in sales. Natural insecticides have always been around, but people had to wise up about their use and effectiveness. Some people just don't have the patience to use them or don't want to take the time to learn. Just like anything else, you don't know if you will like them until you try them.

2 Reasons Why Low Calorie Diets Don't Work
Are you planning to follow a low calorie diet plan in order to lose weight fat! Before you do that, read this article to find out why low calorie diet plans don't work!
I cannot tell you how many people have emailed me saying that they followed certain popular low calorie diet plans for a few weeks only to find out that they haven't lost much weight. As such they felt that weight loss is impossible and therefore, they quit the diet program altogether!
The number one reason why low-calorie diet plans don't work is: when you eat low-calorie foods, your body basically remains malnourished. You feel sick and tired at all times. Forget about exercises, you don't have enough energy to complete even your regular activities. All these things happen because your metabolic rate is low!
If you want to lose weight successfully, you need to keep these two things in mind:
1. Calories are not your enemies: Calories are not what you should avoid; calories are required to supply your body with the necessary nutrition and energy. When your body gets enough food, it'll increase your metabolic rate, which will automatically result in weight loss!
The bad calories are those that are available in junk foods. So while you won't accumulate fat by eating 10 apples per day (even though a single apple contains almost 100 calories), you will surely get fat by eating 10 burgers!
That is the basic difference! You need to avoid empty calories (that is, junk foods) and embrace negative calorie foods, such as fruits and vegetables. Now negative calorie doesn't mean that there is no calorie in these foods; it only means that in order to digest themselves, these foods will force your body to burn more calories than what they provide! This results in calorie deficit which will ultimately result in weight loss!
2. Muscle building is a must: Do you know that in order to maintain themselves, muscles burn a lot of your calories? This in effect means that the more lean muscles you have, the faster you will be able to lose weight! Eating protein-rich foods is a good way of building lean muscles; working out regularly in the gym is another. There is another yet advantage of eating protein-rich foods: you won't feel hungry too often; as such, the possibility of overeating is almost non-existent.
When you eat low-calorie foods, you are not able to build muscles; instead you LOSE muscles. When your body doesn't have enough lean muscles, it is not able to burn fat since your metabolic rate remains at an abnormally low level. So that is one more reason why low calorie diets don't work!
Most of these low calorie diets will only help you lose water and muscles; while you maybe misled into believing that you have actually lost several dozens of pounds, you have not lost the single most important thing that is keeping you from becoming slim: and that is FAT! Unless you lose fat, there is no way you can become fit!

Building a healthy breakfast
From http://drannwellness.com
This excerpt is the start of healthy eating article at Dr. Ann Kulze M.D. website.
For ages now, we have all heard that breakfast is the number one ingredient in the recipe for an energized, productive day. When it comes to your weight, it is doubly true. A solid body of science affirms that people who eat breakfast regularly are leaner than those that don’t and much less apt to develop insulin resistance. A recent study presented at the 43rd Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Protection drives this point home. In this study, researchers found that regular breakfast skippers, defined as eating breakfast 2 or less times a week, were 35-50% more likely to develop obesity and insulin resistance than those who ate breakfast regularly.

Are Carbohydrates All Bad? The Absolute Truth Revealed!
Lack of education among the masses is one of the leading causes behind so many weight loss failures. As a matter of fact, lack of education gives birth to several misconceptions and superstitions! One such misconception is regarding carbohydrates. People think that carbohydrates are all bad and that if one can reduce carbohydrate intake, or even better, totally avoid carbohydrates, then weight loss will become easy! However, that is completely wrong!
There are actually two types of carbohydrates available: the good and the bad. You should of course avoid the 'bad' carbohydrates but the 'good' ones will provide your body with the much needed nutrition and energy. In this article I will tell you what types of carbs you should consume and which ones you should avoid to ensure quick weight loss!
1. The Bad Carbohydrates: In case you don't know, processed foods contain a lot of carbs. However they are bad carbs. These foods do contain some nutrition in their natural state but as soon as they are processed through several food processing stages, much of their nutrition and value is lost! What is left are empty calories which only make you fat and nothing else.
Examples of such foods are chips, white bread, pasta, soft drinks, cakes, biscuits, candies, etc. These foods should be avoided at all costs, if you are serious about weight loss, that is!
These processed foods contain a lot of sugar and as you might be aware, sugar is rich in calorie content. The more sugar you consume, the fatter you become! These foods offer very little nutrition to your body and since they have very little fiber content, they are easily converted by your body into fat deposits.
Apart from weight gain, eating processed foods regularly can also result in diabetes, since your blood sugar levels increase so much that it becomes extremely difficult for insulin to control it!
2. The Good Carbohydrates: So what are good carbohydrates? Good carbohydrates can usually be found in natural foods, such as raw fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, wholemeal pasta, wholegrain wheat, etc. These foods contain carbs for sure but not the ones that would make you fat! Unlike the fast carbs contained in the processed foods, these are slow carbs which take a long time to digest; therefore, you don't get fat! Plus they also contain a high amount of fiber. Fiber will keep you full for a long time! If there was ever a natural way to suppress your appetite, then this is it!
Remember that not all carbs are bad. Making the right decision regarding carb consumption can result in quick weight loss!
