Fascinating Dangerous Encounters

Can You Ever Get Such Close to a Lion, a Jungle Predator?

Kevin Richardson is a Real Lion Whisperer

Fascinating! This man is hilarious! I could not believe that there’s anyone who could come this close and in such intimate way with wild animals. It’s just like a love story, only this one is between a man and wild animals who captured his heart. I have always been fascinated by the jungle animals, especially the lions and their cubs. It has been my dream when growing that I wish I had a lion or lioness cub to raise. But Of course I have grown out of that, but just retained my love for them. I’m glad I came across this man’s documentary. Meet;

Kevin Richardson – in- Dangerous Companions 

“Lions are some of the most dangerous animals known to man. BUT there is one man who is part of their pride. Kevin Richardson, an outdoorsman who lives just 30 miles north of Johannesburg, has an amazing ability to communicate with some of Africa’s most feared predators. His conservation area is home to lions, hyenas, cheetahs, leopards and panthers. He is able to live with them, sleep curled up with them, swim with lionesses, caress cubs and tussle with males. This exciting and touching series will take viewers on a journey to the stunning African wilderness, giving them an exclusive insight into the life of the real Lion Whisperer.”

 

While watching this video, I felt intense excitement seeing the cherished moments that this man experiences with these animals. I think it’s a daily choice to follow your instincts and test the uncertainty. And Kevin surely knows what he wants, to be with these unpredictable friends! Although I have come to find out that he gets paid to do this job. But it does not look like a mere job. You can see clearly that he's not treating his job as work, rather as part of his life, it's what he loves doing. I mean, the guy really looks like very comfy with these predators! Well, I can only salute him for the difference he is making in the lives of these animals!

One Other thing that caught my attention is about the females. Lionesses are not the kind of animals you want to mess with, especially when it comes to their babies. However Kevin has defied the impossible. ,In the video I loved especially the moment that Kevin had with “Pelokghale”, the new lioness mother who just gave birth to her cubs. Any man needs to be extra cautious of such a lioness who won’t allow even their own pride members near her baby bubs. But “Pelokghale” somehow allowed him to enter their world, may be because it’s a payoff for the close relationship he nurtured with her since she was a baby too.

In the video, Kevin could have been torn apart when he entered the “Pelokghale” den by this mother lioness, "Pelokghale". On the contrary, she seems to enjoy Kevin's visit. Oooo! I cherish this part “and then she (Pelokghale), astonishes him with the greatest honor a lioness can ever bestow on a man…she offers her new born to him (Kevin)”. This is so humbling to me!

As I realize how less understanding we are, humans, I wished we could have more of Kevin to help us learn about the world of these wild animals.

I enjoyed watching this documentary so much that I didn’t notice that time has passed, I was filled with such sense of love and little wisdom of how great is out there for us to learn. I guess one will never know how it is to be among jungle animals unless you take the chance of testing for yourself. I have always believed that “If you’re born for something and if you’re destined to be something, then you will find your call on your own. Believe me, you will feel some ties, and some force leading you to your destination”.

This is such a wonderful documentary that captures extends of Kevin Richardson's unique skills. I actually stumbled on this documentary and find it to be extremely educational.  I think watching this video can help you to gain valuable insights into the complex behaviors, impulses, and unique personality of animals. Kevin has sure become able to read signs that helps him to determine the animals’ inner state and act accordingly.

One can say that people who live a life of greatness are usually willing to go out of their comfort zones, face the uncertainty and the uncommon. This they do for the purpose of reaching their inner yearning desires to connect with the universe. By doing what he loves and enjoys, Kevin Richardson seem to have found his call. This man is making a difference in the lives of these lions, and the other animals he is raising.  People like Kevin Richardson remind us that life is all about taking risks. If you do not take a risk then you will never know how it would feel to achieve your ultimate desires and accomplish your goals.

Ebola....the Epidemic of Centuries

 

Who will not be scarred off or run away by the idea of having an Ebola patient entering the same room she/ he is in?! Well, as sad as it is but Ebola presence is a living fact right now in West Africa. The scariest fact is that it has now reached to North America! If that guy who carried it have carelessly or unconsciously made some close contacts with others during his trip from Africa to here in North America (high possibility!), then we’re domed!! The governments of both USA & Canada should start to make extra precautions for some sort of unexpected outbreak. Yeah…it’s true! And you my friend, should be very mindful of your health, more important is be careful of unnecessarily toughing bodily fluids! Now the tricky thing is that instead of putting your head in the sand, dig in and try to find whatever information you can know about the Ebola Saga! You can’t just say “it’s my neighbor’s problem” and sit as if you’re in Mars! The world is so mobile nowadays. At least get to know who your common enemy is. So, if you’re like me who want to know, I thought you would not mind me sharing these few videos with you today. Better to know than staying ignorant!!!

10 Foods to Eat So You Never Have to Diet

 

Who doesn't want to be fit? hehehe!,,,,...I know we all yearn to be slim, healthy, and looking gorgeous, isn't it? but how hard is that...uh! some of us may anxiously start a weight loss program only to feel sooo tired and frustrated midway from its tedious routines. Oooo and those yummy dishes at family dinners or get-togethers are so irresistible, snap! Well, I'm on the look for easy ways for slim-down plans. So, I am reposting this article here for my fans who may have missed it on Yahoo.

These powerhouse foods help keep unwanted pounds at bay, and it has nothing to do with counting calories and fat grams.
 

Garlic

This herb does more than just give meals extra flavor and scent—it can also help keep your tummy flat through its naturally occurring chemical allicin, says registered dietitian and Nutritious Life founder Keri Glassman. “Allicin kills off harmful bacteria in your digestive tract to keep your gut healthy and functioning, which means less bloat.” Also, Korean researchers discovered that this member of the onion family may have an anti-obesity effect thanks to proteins being stimulated in the liver. Toss garlic in almost any poultry, pasta, or veggie dish, or add it to dressings and sauces.

Beans

When you’re craving carbs, look no further than the legume family, says registered dietitian and food and nutrition consultant Rachel Begun. “Beans are unique in that they offer significant amounts of both fiber and protein in one package—one cup of black beans has a whopping 17 grams of fiber and 14 grams of protein. We’re learning that fiber and protein are invaluable for weight management because both are highly satiating, meaning they leave us feeling full for longer and prevent overeating later in the day.” A recent study published in the journal Obesity found that extracts from white kidney beans can reduce the absorption of calories from carbohydrates and tame sweets cravings, thanks to certain enzymes that inhibit starch digestion.

 

Pistachios

“In-shell pistachios are one of my go-to snacks for weight management,” says Katherine Brooking, a registered dietitian and cofounder of Appetite for Health. A one-ounce serving has 6 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber, but their real power is felt more in your eyes than your stomach. “Needing to de-shell helps you munch more slowly, and the discarded shells may also provide a visual cue to remind you of how much you’ve eaten, which helps put the brakes on out-of-control snacking,” adds Brooking. In fact, in a study conducted at Eastern Illinois University, participants who snacked on in-shell pistachios consumed 41 percent fewer calories compared to those who ate the shelled version.

 

Seaweed

Perhaps we should take tips from the Japanese, whose country has one of the lowest obesity rates in the world, says registered dietitian and Appetite for Health cofounder Julie Upton. One of their staples is wakame, a type of nutrient- and protein-rich seaweed. “Compounds isolated from wakame, [known as] fucoxanthin, have been shown to help increase fat burning in animal model studies,” says Upton. “More studies are currently looking at other compounds in seaweed, like alginates, that form gels in the stomach to enhance feelings of fullness.” Toss seaweed into soups and salads or use it instead of lettuce in wraps and sandwiches.

Jalapeños

Good news for those who like it hot. “Jalapeño peppers contain an antioxidant called capsaicin, which acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory and metabolism booster,” says Glassman. “Some studies have found that people who eat pepper-packed meals feel less hungry and burn more calories later.” One such study conducted at Purdue University discovered that volunteers who infrequently consumed this spicy, nutrient-dense vegetable reaped more of its weight-loss benefits, a result of experiencing less hunger, especially for fatty, salty, and sweet foods. According to researchers, sprinkling red pepper on a meal “may be sustainable and beneficial in the long run, especially when paired with exercise and healthy eating.”

White potatoes

Who said all white foods are off-limits? “White potatoes are actually a slimming food,” says Glassman. The reason: They’re full of rich resistant starch, a compound that ferments in the gut and creates butyrate, a fatty acid that may spur your body to burn more fat. A study published in the journal Diabetes found that butyrate also improved insulin sensitivity and increased energy expenditure in mice.

Mangos

While these juicy stone fruits are naturally filling due to their fiber content—a medium one contains 3 grams—that’s not the only reason they help peel off the pounds. “New research from Oklahoma State University indicates that mangoes may lower blood sugar, which can help to control cravings, especially for carbs, thus keeping your willpower intact,” says Brooking. And good news: Since mangoes are grown in tropical climates all over the world, they’re available year-round.

Yogurt

It’s more than just a low-cal standby. “The calcium in yogurt may help lower calcitrol in the body, which helps turn on fat burning and turn down fat storage,” says Brooking. “Plus, the beneficial probiotics in yogurt feed your gut, and we now know that gut microbes in those who are a healthy weight are different than in those who are obese.” The way yogurt is made, which includes fermentation, also gives it higher concentrations of protein, B-vitamins, calcium, potassium, and magnesium compared to milk, making it the ultimate dairy food.

Avocado

More than 80 percent of the calories in avocados are from fat—but they’re still incredibly good for you, says Upton. “Research shows that people who eat avocados have lower BMIs, and a recent study of overweight men and women found that adding avocados to lunch increased satisfaction by 22 percent. It also reduced desire to eat over the next three hours by 24 percent.” The study authors suggest that the fiber, unsaturated fat content, and a blood-sugar-lowering sugar called D-mannoheptulose may play a role in helping steady blood sugar levels and keeping appetite in check.

Artichokes

These veggies are rich in fiber, with each medium-size one packing 6 grams. “Fiber is valuable if you’re trying to lose weight because it actually slows digestion so that you feel full longer,” says Glassman. “It also means more volume for fewer calories.” And artichokes promote good gut health. They contain indigestible nutrients, called prebiotics, that help support the good bacteria in your digestive system, which can deflate belly bloat and flatten your tummy.
