Italien / Lombardei - Limone sul Garda
Limone sul Garda (Gardesano: Limù) is a town and comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy (northern Italy), at the western bank of Lake Garda.
History
Despite the presence of famous cultivations of lemons (the meaning of limone in Italian), the town's name is probably derived from the ancient lemos (elm) or limes (Latin: boundary, referring to the communes of Brescia and the Bishopric of Trento). Between 1863 and 1905 the denomination of the comune was Limone San Giovanni.
On 13 September 1786, the famous German poet J. Wolfgang Goethe passed by the village by boat and described with this words its lemon gardens:
"We passed Limone, the mountain-gardens of which, laid out terrace-fashion, and planted with citron-trees, have a neat and rich appearance. The whole garden consists of rows of square white pillars placed at some distance from each other, and rising up the mountain in steps. On these pillars strong beams are laid, that the trees planted between them may be sheltered in the winter. The view of these pleasant objects was favored by a slow passage, and we had already passed Malcesine when the wind suddenly changed, took the direction usual in the day-time, and blew towards the north."
(Italian Journey, J. Wolfgang Goethe, 1816–17)
Until the 1940s, the town was reachable only by lake or through the mountains, with the road to Riva del Garda being completed in 1932, but today Limone is one of the most renowned tourist resorts in the area.
Health
In 1979, researchers discovered that people in Limone possess a mutant form of apolipoprotein (called ApoA-1 Milano) in their blood, that induced a healthy form of high-density cholesterol, which resulted in a lowered risk of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.
The protein appears to have given residents of the village extreme longevity - a dozen of those living here are over the age of 100 (for c. 1,000 total inhabitants). The origin of the mutation has been traced back to a couple who lived in Limone in the 17th century. Research has been ongoing to develop pharmaceutical treatments against heart disease based on mimicking the beneficial effects of the ApoA-1 mutation.

Limone sul Garda ist eine italienische Gemeinde am Westufer des Gardasees in der Provinz Brescia in der Lombardei. Die an der Gardesana Occidentale liegende Gemeinde hat 1142 Einwohner (Stand 31. Dezember 2019). Das ursprüngliche Fischerdorf ist heute ein Touristenort mit vielen modernen Hotels und Ferienwohnungen. In Limone befinden sich die beiden Häfen Porto Vecchio und Porto Nuovo.
Der Name Limone leitet sich wahrscheinlich nicht, wie oft angenommen, von den umliegenden Zitronenhainen ab, sondern vom lateinischen Wort limes (Grenze). Denn einst endete in Limone die Republik Venedig. Trotzdem wird dort hauptsächlich das „Zitronen-Image“ vermarktet.
Geographie
Der Ort liegt direkt am nördlichen Westufer des Gardasees und ist im Nordwesten von Felswänden umgeben. Unmittelbar nordöstlich von Limone grenzt die Gemeinde Riva del Garda an. Im Südwesten befindet sich die Gemeinde Tremosine.
Geschichte
Limone war ursprünglich ein kleines Dorf, das zwischen 1426 und 1797 zur venezianischen Magnifica Patria, einem Zusammenschluss der westlichen Gemeinden des Gardasees und einem Teil des Sabbiatals, gehörte. Mit Einmarsch der Truppen Napoleons wurde dieser Zusammenschluss 1797 aufgelöst. Nach dem Wiener Kongress im Jahre 1815 war Limone dem lombardisch-venezianischen Königreich zugehörig und damit auch dem Kaisertum Österreich.
Österreich gab nach dem Sardinischen Krieg seine Herrschaft über die Lombardei ab, und so fiel Limone an das 1861 gegründete Königreich Italien. Die Grenze zu Österreich befand sich dabei nur wenige Kilometer nördlich von Limone. Die unmittelbare Nähe zur Grenze hatte zur Folge, dass Limone in der Zeit des Ersten Weltkrieges frühzeitig vom Kriegsgeschehen erfasst wurde. Zunächst flüchtete ein Teil der Einwohnerschaft in das nahe gelegene Tremosine. Im September 1916 wurden schließlich auch die verbliebenen Einwohner evakuiert. Zuvor mussten die Plantagenbesitzer das gesamte Abdeckmaterial der Gewächshäuser an das Militär abgeben. Dies führte dazu, dass der Anbau von Zitrusfrüchten nicht mehr möglich war. Von 1863 bis 1905 war der Gemeindename Limone San Giovanni.
Zwischen 1928 und 1931 erfolgte der Bau der Gardesana Occidentale von Gargnano nach Riva. Limone war bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt nur über unwegsame Saumpfade oder per Schiff erreichbar. Die Eröffnung der Straße führte zu wirtschaftlichem Aufschwung und auch zu einer Zunahme des Fremdenverkehrs. Um die Uferbereiche innerhalb des Dorfes besser zu erschließen, wurde dann 1939 die Strandpromenade errichtet.
Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur
Im Jahre 2016 lag der Ort bei der Zahl der Übernachtungen pro Anzahl Einwohner mit deutlichem Abstand an erster Stelle, bei der absoluten Anzahl an einundvierzigster.[2]
Im Gemeindegebiet gab es zum 31. Dezember 2015 87 Beherbergungsbetriebe mit insgesamt 6.841 Betten.
Etwa 10.000 Touristen kommen täglich während der Sommersaison nach Limone. Für sie wurden große Parkplätze am Ortsrand eingerichtet, da in der Altstadt aufgrund enger Gassen kein Autoverkehr möglich ist.
Sehenswürdigkeiten
Das Stadtbild ist unter anderem durch die berühmten Zitronenhaine geprägt. Sie sind unter anderem durch folgende Beschreibung Goethes vom 13. September 1786 berühmt geworden:
„Heute früh um drei Uhr fuhr ich von Torbole weg mit zwei Ruderern. Anfangs war der Wind günstig, daß sie die Segel brauchen konnten. Der Morgen war herrlich, zwar wolkig, doch bei der Dämmerung still. Wir fuhren bei Limone vorbei, dessen Berggärten, terrassenweise angelegt und mit Zitronenbäumen bepflanzt, ein reiches und reinliches Ansehn geben. Der ganze Garten besteht aus Reihen von weißen viereckigen Pfeilern, die in einer gewissen Entfernung voneinander stehen und stufenweis den Berg hinaufrücken. Über diese Pfeiler sind starke Stangen gelegt, um im Winter die dazwischen gepflanzten Bäume zu decken. Das Betrachten und Beschauen dieser angenehmen Gegenstände ward durch eine langsame Fahrt begünstigt, und so waren wir schon an Malcesine vorbei, als der Wind sich völlig umkehrte, seinen gewöhnlichen Tagweg nahm und nach Norden zog.“

Each sunflower is actually thousands of teeny flowers
Sunflowers are native to the Americas and were domesticated around 1000 B.C; sunflower cultivation is thought to have begun over 8,000 years ago
Each sunflower can contain as many as 1,000 to 2,000 seeds
The tallest sunflower on record was over 30 feet tall
Sunflowers have been planted to help soak up nuclear radiation
Sunflower Oil Has an Anti-Inflammatory Effect
Sunflower Oils Can Reduce Cholesterol Levels
Sunflowers Can Self Pollinate
Teddy Bear sunflowers are bushy and spherical. This type of sunflower produces double blooms, which gives them a full and fluffy head like a stuffed bear. Their unusual anatomy led to this plant receiving the Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society in 2015. Moreover, some people use Teddy Bear sunflowers in food as salad garnish or for cake decoration.
My cholesterol went up just looking at that mountain of fries.
One thing the Pima County fair in Tucson is certainly known for is coming up with some pretty outrageous food items. A grilled turkey leg wrapped in bacon, deep fried candy bars, and this monstrosity, Megafries. Pretty much an entire fryer basket stuffed with fries (chips), cooked up crispy and dumped on a plate.
We didn't stick around to watch this fellow devour this mountain of curled potatoes, my heart couldn't take it.

Highland cattle (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach; Scots: Heilan coo) are a Scottish cattle breed. They have long horns and long wavy coats that are coloured black, brindle, red, yellow, white, silver (looks white but with a black nose) or dun, and they are raised primarily for their meat. They originated in the Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland and were first mentioned in the 6th century AD. The first herd book described two distinct types of Highland cattle but, due to crossbreeding between the two, only one type now exists and is registered. They have since been exported worldwide.
They are a hardy breed due to their native environment, the Highlands of Scotland. This results in long hair, giving the breed its ability to overwinter. Bulls can weigh up to 800 kilograms (1,800 pounds) and cows up to 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds). Their milk generally has a very high butterfat content, and their meat, regarded as of the highest quality, is gaining mainstream acceptance as it is lower in cholesterol than other varieties of beef.
They have an unusual double coat of hair. On the outside is the oily outer hair - the longest of any cattle breed - covering a downy undercoat. This makes them well suited to conditions in the Highlands, which have a high annual rainfall and sometimes very strong winds. Their skill in foraging for food allows them to survive in steep mountain areas where they both graze and eat plants that many other cattle avoid. They can dig through the snow with their horns to find buried plants.
Mature bulls can weigh up to 800 kilograms (1,800 pounds) and cows can weigh up to 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds). Cows typically have a height of 90–106 centimeters (3–3.5 ft), and bulls are typically in the range of 106–120 centimeters (3.5–4 ft). Mating occurs throughout the year with a gestation period of approximately 277–290 days. Most commonly a single calf is born, but twins are not unknown. Sexual maturity is reached at about eighteen months. Highland cattle also have a longer expected lifespan than most other breeds of cattle, up to 20 years.
The coat colors are caused by alleles at the MC1R gene (E locus) and the PMEL or SILV gene (D locus).
They have a docile temperament and the milk has a high butterfat content, so have traditionally been used as house cows. They are generally good-natured animals but very protective of their young.
All European cattle cope relatively well with low temperatures but Highland cattle have been described as "...almost as cold-tolerant as the arctic-dwelling caribou and reindeer..." Conversely they are much less tolerant of heat than zebu cattle, which originated in South Asia and are adapted for hot climates.[10] Highland cattle have been successfully established in countries where winters are substantially colder than Scotland such as Norway and Canada.
A fold of semi-wild Highland cattle was studied, over a period of 4 years. It was found that the cattle have a clear structure and hierarchy of dominance, which reduced aggression. Social standing depended on age and sex, with older cattle being dominant to calves and younger ones and males dominant to females. Young bulls would dominate adult cows when they reached around 2 years of age. Calves from the top ranking cow were given higher social status, despite minimal intervention from their mother. Playfighting, licking and mounting were seen as friendly contact.

On the Isle of Harris - this was a fairly large and slightly intimidating cow. It allowed me to get close as it was too busy munching hay and pushing other cows away with its horns. I got close enough to use the wide-angle perspective and make it look cuter.

She spread it on thick and I found out why.
According to Niccy cruise ships are magical places where things like calories, carbs and cholesterol don't count! I certainly can't argue with her since she's been in the medical field for many years and probably has a good handle on things like this.
We were sitting by the back pool for breakfast on this lovely morning. Niccy went into the buffet and came out with this bagel, nicely toasted and covered with Nutella. I politely asked her if that was the best choice for her morning breakfast and that's when I found out about the magical power a cruise ship has!
To be honest it's quite possible to eat healthy when you're on a cruise. There are plenty of vegetarian choices available, as well as low calorie and gluten free options. The problem seems to be that most people check their willpower at the gangway and eat whatever their heart desires, not what's good for them.
Argan oil is slightly darker than olive oil, with a reddish tinge. It can be used for cooking and is claimed to have various medicinal properties, such as lowering cholesterol levels, stimulating circulation and strengthening the body’s natural defences.
And, internationally, there is a growing interest in its cosmetic uses.

The cherry belongs to the family Rosaceae, genus Prunus, along with almonds, peaches, plums, apricots and bird cherries. The word "cherry" comes from the french word "cerise", which comes in turn from the Latin words cerasum and Cerasus.
The cherry is generally understood to have been brought to Rome from northeastern Anatolia in 72 BC. The city of Giresun in present-day Turkey was known to the ancient Greeks as Choerades or Pharnacia, and later as Kerasous or Cerasus. The name later mutated into Kerasunt.
The English word cherry, French cerise, Spanish cereza, and Southern Italian dialect cerasa (standard Italian ciliegia) all come from the Classical Greek κέρασος "cherry," which has been identified with Cerasus. The cherry was first exported to Europe from Cerasus in Roman times. By the Middle Ages, cherries had disappeared in England. They were reestablished at Tyneham, near Sittingbourne in Kent by order of Henry VIII, who had tasted them in Flanders.
Cherries contain anthocyanins, the red pigment in berries. Cherry anthocyanins have been shown to reduce pain and inflammation in rats. Anthocyanins are also potent antioxidants under active research for a variety of potential health benefits. According to a study funded by the Cherry Marketing Institute, rats that received whole tart cherry powder mixed into a high-fat diet did not gain as much weight or build up as much body fat, and their blood showed much lower levels of inflammation indicators that have been linked to heart disease and diabetes. In addition, they had significantly lower blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides than the other rats. Let's have cherries then :-)

YUM YUM... CHERRIES
Cherries, which have the scientific name Prunus avium, are one of the most romantic fruits.
They are eaten all around the world and are often a favourite flavour or used as an ingredient in cooking. Predominantly a fruit of cold countries, cherries look and taste wonderful.
The fruit is one the of healthiest foods you can eat.
*Cherries are full of antioxidants
Cherries are a potent source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
These cellular body guards slow down ageing and ward off chronic illnesses—including heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and obesity.
*They protect against diabetes
The anti-inflammatory effect of cherries helps keep your body healthy; but what's more, cherries rank lower than many fruits on the glycemic index. That means they don’t trigger spikes and crashes in your blood sugar and insulin levels. This makes them both protective against diabetes, and important for managing the condition if you already have it.
*They promote healthy sleep
Tart cherries in particular are one of the few food sources of melatonin, a hormone that helps control your sleep-wake cycles.
One study in men and women with insomnia found that compared to a placebo, eight ounces of tart cherry juice in the morning and again one to two hours before bed increased sleep time by an hour and 24 minutes.
*They can provide arthritis relief
Several studies have suggested that cherry consumption is beneficial for osteoarthritis sufferers.
Regularly incorporating cherries or 100% cherry juice into your meal or snack routine may help lessen your joint pain.
*They lower the risk of gout attacks
Over eight million adults in the U.S. suffer from gout. This inflammatory arthritis is triggered when a waste product called uric acid crystallises within the joints, causing excruciating pain and swelling. In one study, gout patients who consumed cherries for just two days (both the fresh fruit, as well as cherry extract and juice) showed a 35% lower risk of gout attacks compared to those who did not eat cherries.
*They curb cholesterol.
So, enjoy!
I wish you all the very best and thank you for all your kind words, time, comments and faves. Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)

It is estimated that 300 million people around the world between the ages of 20 and 79 suffer from diabetes mellitus. Most of them do not become aware of it early enough to receive appropriate treatment.
If diabetes mellitus goes untreated and is not under control, it can cause serious health problems and even death. One of them is “diabetic foot,” which occurs by uncontrolled glucose levels and other factors that come into play in people with hypertension and diabetes, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. These cause damage to the vessels and nerves, and the person will develop health complications sooner or later.
In your Shoes is an exclusive shoe fair, 30% of the proceeds from the show will be donated to the Mexican Diabetes Association in support with Miss Virtual Latin America Organization, we can make this possible.
The fair will for a week from August 14 to August 21, 2016.

Excerpt from www.kernalpeanuts.com/The-Peanut-Story/134/43:
When problems hit the tobacco industry in the late 1970's, Ernie and Nancy Racz went nuts. Literally. Ernie started experimenting with peanuts, which are well suited to the light sandy soils of southwestern Ontario. By 1982, the couple was growing peanuts commercially.
Today, the family farm outside Vittoria houses a peanut manufacturing, wholesale and retail operation. Kernal Peanuts Limited grows Valencia peanuts, then harvests and processes them for a number of products.
The store, located in a vine-covered outbuilding, is a nut lover's paradise, selling salted and unsalted nuts and flavoured nuts--garlic, barbecue, sour cream, onion, mild and hot cajun. Peanut butter, peanut brittle and fudge are just a few of the other delectable delights.
Many are produced on-site and carry the Kernal label and slogan "Nuttin' But The Best."
In addition, the shop stocks a variety of specialty food items, including locally grown dried shiitake mushrooms, shiitake mushroom powder and sparkling apple cider. A number of gift items are on sale both in the store and by mail.
Nancy also has a selection of antique peanut butter cans and containers on display. Most of them were picked up at antique shops, auctions or garage sales, and they provide an interesting glimpse into history of one of North America's most popular foods.
Despite their popularity, peanuts have been getting a bad rap in recent years because of allergies and their high fat content. As far as the fat goes, recent research indicates that peanuts and peanut butter are good for your heart, helping to lower bad cholesterol and raise levels of good cholesterol.
The key, of course is moderation--although that's hard to practice at Kernal peanuts, where mouth-watering fudge is on display and the air is redolent of fresh peanut butter. However, if you are extremely self-disciplined (or don't mind giving into temptation now and then), Kernal Peanuts is definitely worth a visit.
You can on your own, or as part of a bus tour. If you opt for a tour, you'll get a look at a real, honest-to-goodness peanut patch near the shop while Ernie Racz explains growing and harvesting methods. After that, it's on to the plant, where there's usually something going on, such as roasting, shelling, or making peanut butter. The tour winds up in the shop, where there's a video for everyone who wants more details, and a chance to sample some of the goodies.
