class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>From the Michelin Guide:\u00a0 Rome\u2019s most famous roof garden, as well as the most international restaurant in Italy. From the terrace at La Pergola, Rome appears eternal and imperturbable, as it is so often described. The ambience here is hushed and elegant, with carpets and armchairs, silverware and fresh flowers, paintings and refined furniture all providing a magnificent setting for the superb views. It\u2019s easy to see why so many Italians and visitors from around the world are willing to join the waiting list to eat here. The warm welcome and impeccable service add to the experience: there\u2019s a timeless feel to the rhythm of service, which is discreet yet seems to anticipate and satisfy guests\u2019 wishes and requirements even before they\u2019ve had a chance to express them \u2013 it\u2019s almost as if time itself is suspended. The restaurant\u2019s beating heart is Heinz Beck\u2019s delicate cuisine, which reaches extraordinary heights and could never be described as ordinary. Some of his dishes are bold in style, others more international, but the foundation of his cuisine is always Mediterranean. There are two separate wine lists: one dedicated to Italian labels, the other to wines from elsewhere in the world, both featuring some excellent rare bottles, as well as lesser-known labels selected by talented sommelier Marco Reitano.<\/p><p>It usually takes Six months in advance to get a reservation here. I think I got lucky because it was about five months in advance.\u00a0\u00a0We arrived early so we could get a table with an unobstructed nighttime view of Rome. The table shown above was our view.\u00a0\u00a0The staff was professional and greeted us and escorted us to our table and offered us a complimentary glass of champagne to start the evening. Of course we passed on the champagne. The dining room was elegant and refined and had stunning views of the city and a very hushed and intimate atmosphere.\u00a0\u00a0We were presented with a wine list featuring over 60,000 bottles.\u00a0 Another pass. The menu included a price fixed menu as well as a wide variety of Mediterranean and Italian inspired dishes prepared by executive chef Heinz Beck,\u00a0who is known for his innovative and artistic approach to cooking. They tend to use fresh seasonal ingredients in exquisite presentations. Our first difficult choice was water. At eight euros a liter,\u00a0we chose the Icelandic glacial water. And we made it last.\u00a0\u00a0Janice ate all a cart because there were too many fish items on the menu but it was all great food. I will describe more later.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50

die&#8221; list to include a visit to Japan and the opportunity to experience dining at a Michelin three-star restaurant. Specifically, I am eager to savor the delights of a Japanese restaurant that has earned this coveted distinction, and I look forward to immersing myself in the country&#8217;s rich culinary heritage and culture.<\/p><p>I am told, there are several reasons why there are so many Michelin-rated restaurants in Japan. One of the main reasons is Japan&#8217;s deep appreciation for culinary excellence and attention to detail, which is reflected in the country&#8217;s rich culinary heritage and culture. Japanese chefs are known for their skill and dedication to their craft, and many have spent years mastering traditional techniques and perfecting their dishes.<\/p><p>Another reason for the high number of Michelin-rated restaurants in Japan is the country&#8217;s high standards of hygiene, safety, and quality control, which are essential for earning Michelin stars. Many restaurants in Japan have strict regulations in place to ensure the quality and freshness of their ingredients, and they often use seasonal and locally sourced produce to create their dishes.<\/p><p>In addition, the Michelin Guide has been highly influential in Japan, with the first Michelin Guide Tokyo being published in 2007. The guide has helped to raise the profile of Japanese cuisine and has encouraged chefs to strive for excellence and innovation in their cooking.<\/p><p>Finally, Japan&#8217;s diverse and dynamic dining scene, which ranges from high-end kaiseki restaurants to casual ramen shops, has also contributed to the high number of Michelin-rated restaurants in the country. The Michelin Guide has recognized not only traditional Japanese cuisine but also international cuisine and innovative fusion cuisine, reflecting the country&#8217;s rich and diverse culinary landscape.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element

admit it. I like to eat good food. And when I travel I really like to eat good local food. From street tacos in Mexico City, to a Michelin three star restaurant in Rome, I have eaten it all.\u00a0 Almost all. There are a few things I just won&#8217;t do.\u00a0 In any case, I have also enjoyed taking pictures of my food since the very first time I got a digital camera. And since those first pictures,\u00a0 cameras and picture quality have improved tremendously. When I have enjoyed a tremendously good dish, and I take a picture of it, I can almost remember how it tastes.\u00a0 Sometimes the picture looks better than the actual food was. Kind of like the McDonald&#8217;s menu compared to the hamburger they give you.\u00a0 But most the time it&#8217;s a wonderful reminder of a wonderful meal and the people who enjoyed it with me. In the early days it was somewhat of a distraction to use a digital camera with flash in a restaurant. Now it&#8217;s almost annoying with so many people taking pictures but we&#8217;ve all gotten used to it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d33f60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6d33f60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/b4idielist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Guatemala-shrimp-20140706_153659.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2578\" alt=\"Guatemala shrimp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b4idielist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Guatemala-shrimp-20140706_153659.jpg 300w, https:\/\/b4idielist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Guatemala-shrimp-20140706_153659-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6072a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a6072a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A little shrimp in Guatemala.

As the meal came to an end we asked our waiter where lobster was. And he told us it was in the very first platter that we received.

But more detailed studies show that apples, in particular, may be particularly protective of good health.<\/p><p>Apples, particularly their skins, are an excellent source of antioxidants . Antioxidants are believed to prevent damage to cells and tissues and help defend the body from cancer , cardiovascular disease, and possibly Alzheimer&#8217;s disease . Apple varieties vary in their antioxidant content, with Red Delicious having one of the highest levels. In addition, the flavonoids in apples, which possess antioxidant properties, are believed to protect the body against allergens and viral infections. Apples may also improve lung function.<\/p><p>In a study conducted in Finland, researchers investigated the relationship between apple consumption and the risk of stroke in over 9,200 men and women. Those individuals who consumed the highest number of apples showed a lower risk of stroke over a 28-year period compared to those who consumed the least number of apples. The researchers suggest that this benefit may come from the &#8220;phytonutrients&#8221; contained in apples, possibly including flavonoids. Two other Finnish studies showed that apple consumption may also reduce the risk of heart disease and lung cancer .<\/p><p><strong>Evidence Against the Health Claim<\/strong><br \/>There are many other foods\u2014including other fruits\u2014that contain the same antioxidants and offer the same benefits as apples. Beverages like coffee and black tea, and fruits including blueberries, cranberries, red grapes, strawberries, and bananas, are all rich in antioxidant flavonoids. Cranberries, studies show, are even higher in antioxidants than apples.<\/p><p>Of note, most of the nutritional benefit of apples appears to come from their skin, so peeled apples, apple juice, and applesauce lack the rich levels of antioxidants that the whole fruit contains.<\/p><p>Apples alone can&#8217;t keep anyone healthy, as no single food can, and apples can&#8217;t be expected to reverse previous damage caused by poor diet and lifestyle. Diets rich in trans fats, salt, and sugar\u2014even with an apple a day\u2014don&#8217;t lead to good health. Regular apple consumption, of course, is only beneficial as part of an overall healthful diet and exercise regimen .<\/p><p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><br \/>Apples are a great choice for a healthful, low-fat, low-calorie snack. They&#8217;re rich in fiber and antioxidants, both of which may be protective against a variety of chronic diseases. To receive the maximum health benefits from apples, eating the whole fruit\u2014including the skin\u2014is recommended.<\/p><p>But remember, apples are no substitute for a balanced diet and regular exercise. And, even this is no guarantee. People who live impeccable lifestyles still suffer from heart disease and cancer, and keeping your doctor completely away makes it difficult to receive preventive services, like screening tests. Seeing your doctor regularly (but not too often) will allow him to possibly uncover conditions that can harm you in the future, even if you feel perfectly well while munching on that Red Delicious.<\/p><p>References<br \/>Amodio A.

inherit;\"><br \/>Many of us already know the benefits of vitamin C, both in our diet and supplement form. It\u2019s probably the first thing you reach for when you feel a cold coming on due to its well-known antioxidant and immune boosting power.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We also know that we can only get vitamin C through our diet. However, just because we\u2019re consuming a certain amount of vitamin C doesn\u2019t mean that the body is able to put that full amount to use within our cells.<\/span><\/p><p>This is where liposomal vitamin C comes in. Liposomal vitamin C is more absorbable and bioavailable in the body because the vitamin C is encased within liposomes, microscopic droplets surrounded by a lipid bilayer, the same kind of barrier as our cell membranes. This liposome makes the vitamin C fat soluble (instead of water soluble) and more easily transported into our cells, where it can be used.<\/p><p>Let\u2019s break down the characteristics, benefits, any side effects, and answer some of the most common questions about liposomal vitamin C.<\/p><p>What\u2019s the difference between standard vitamin C and liposomal vitamin C?\u00a0\u00a0\u201cRegular\u201d vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is what you\u2019ll find in most vitamin C supplements as a powder, tablet, or capsule.<\/p><p>This type of vitamin C is water soluble, meaning it\u2019s absorbed in water. Although our bodies contain a lot of water, the structure of our cells is made of lipids\u2014fat. As we know, oil (fat) and water do not mix; they repel each other. This means that water soluble vitamin C is not absorbed very well into our cells where it is most needed.<\/p><p>Only very low doses of standard vitamin C can be well absorbed by the body; the higher dosage you take, the lower the absorption rate! At the commonly recommended 1,000 mg dose, your body can absorb less than half of what you ingest. The rest is excreted mostly into the urine. This means that taking oral \u201cmegadoses\u201d of vitamin C isn\u2019t really doing you much good, not to mention can cause digestive upset.<\/p><p>Liposomal vitamin C on the other hand, is still ascorbic acid, just encased in a liposomal form\u2014surrounded by a lipid bilayer that allows for easier access into the cell. This means that it is far more absorbable and bioavailable in the body, ready to be used as needed.\u00a0 As a supplement, you get more value out of a liposomal formula than a water soluble formula.<\/p><p>Benefits of liposomal Vitamin C<\/p><p>Liposomal vitamin C essentially has the same benefits of standard vitamin C, you\u2019re just more likely to notice the results due to its higher absorption ability. These are some of the primary areas in which vitamin C supports the body.<\/p><p>Skin health<br \/>Vitamin C helps the body produce collagen, the structural \u201cglue\u201d that holds us together.* Collagen is essential for cellular integrity, helping to keep out pathogens and toxins from the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus, where they can cause real damage. <br \/>It\u2019s also what helps skin retain its smoothness, bounce, and elasticity. You\u2019ve probably heard dermatologists and skincare enthusiasts recommend a \u201cvitamin C serum\u201d\u2014this is why! [3, 4]<\/p><p>Heart health<br \/>Vitamin C is our most essential antioxidant, protecting nutrient molecules like proteins and lipids from oxidative stress and damage.\u00a0 For heart health in particular, it inhibits oxidation of LDL-protein, which reduces atherosclerosis. It has also been linked in some studies to improvements in arterial stiffness, lipid profiles and endothelial function.<\/p><p>Mood boost<br \/>Vitamin C helps synthesize neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, the chemical signals that regulate our mood.\u00a0 Real liposomal vitamin C can easily cross the blood brain barrier, where it can be immediately used for mental support and mood regulation.<\/p><p>Without adequate vitamin C, researchers found that study participants had depressed mood and increased cognitive impairment.<\/p><p>Immune support<br \/>We need strong immune systems more than ever, and vitamin C is your immune system champion. Research shows that vitamin C reduced the number of common colds by half in physically active people.<\/p><p>Does liposomal Vitamin C have any side effects?<br \/>Standard vitamin C can easily cause digestive upset if taken in high doses. Liposomal vitamin C, however, since it is much more rapidly absorbed and used by the body, is far less likely to cause any side effects. Still, you should follow your health practitioner&#8217;s direction on a dose that is appropriate for you.<\/p><p>Can you take too much liposomal Vitamin C?<br \/>Vitamin C is well known for causing gastrointestinal distress when taken in high doses. However, liposomal vitamin C minimizes this risk because it bypasses typical absorption constraints in the gut and is rapidly absorbed into the cells.\u00a0 \u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Though unlikely, liposomal vitamin C may initiate a Herxheimer reaction\u2013\u2013flu-like symptoms that can occur when the body begins to rapidly detoxify and the elimination systems become overwhelmed with the sudden toxic burden released from the tissues. If this occurs, simply cut back on your dosage or stop altogether until you recover. As always, consult with a healthcare professional if you have a reaction or concern using liposomal vitamin C.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-60c07fc\" data-id=\"60c07fc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a41e198 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a41e198\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-52903ca\" data-id=\"52903ca\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e93fe49 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e93fe49\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f6364c0\" data-id=\"f6364c0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9fb91f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9fb91f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Liposomal Vitamin C<\/b><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a001a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7a001a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Good to know for 2022\u00a0<\/p><div class=\"nova-legacy-e-text nova-legacy-e-text--size-m nova-legacy-e-text--family-sans-serif nova-legacy-e-text--spacing-s nova-legacy-e-text--color-inherit redraft-text\"><b>Liposomal Vitamin C<\/b><br \/><b>One of many Mixing Formulas<\/b><\/div><div class=\"nova-legacy-e-text nova-legacy-e-text--size-m nova-legacy-e-text--family-sans-serif nova-legacy-e-text--spacing-s nova-legacy-e-text--color-inherit redraft-text\">This formula was produced after many tests using diverse milligram measurements of lecithin and ascorbic acid to one litre of distilled water and completing the ultrasonic cycle.
