Lüthorst
Lüthorst is a village in Lower Saxony. It is a suburb of Dassel and was incorporated into this city in 1974. It is located between the Amtsberge and the Elfas hills. History The foundation of Lüthorst dates back to the 9th century, when it was a part of the Suilbergau area. Throughout the Middle Ages, both the Counts of Dassel and lords who had their castle in the Homburg Forest, had influence on the village. In the decades after 1310, when the Counts of Dassel ceased to exist, the Lords of Homburg expanded their influence and expelled some of the inhabitants from the village. As the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hildesheim was the successor of the county of Dassel, bishop Gerhard tried to limit the influence of those lords. So did Pope Gregory XI, who mandated the abbot of the Reinhausen monastery. However the lords prevailed and the expelled inhabitants of Lüthorst settled in Lindau. Several years later they undertook an attack against the lords, burning down 14 villages around Lü ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Raw Foodism
Raw foodism, also known as rawism or a raw food diet, is the dietary practice of eating only or mostly food that is uncooked and unprocessed. Depending on the philosophy, or type of lifestyle and results desired, raw food diets may include a selection of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, eggs, fish, meat, and dairy products. The diet may also include simply processed foods, such as various types of sprouted seeds, cheese, and fermented foods such as yogurts, kefir, kombucha, or sauerkraut, but generally not foods that have been pasteurized, homogenized, or produced with the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, solvents, and food additives. The British Dietetic Association has described raw foodism as a fad diet."Fad diets" |
People From Northeim (district)
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Fasting Advocates
Fasting is the abstention from eating and sometimes drinking. From a purely physiological context, "fasting" may refer to the metabolic status of a person who has not eaten overnight (see "Breakfast"), or to the metabolic state achieved after complete digestion and absorption of a meal. Metabolic changes in the fasting state begin after absorption of a meal (typically 3–5 hours after eating). A diagnostic fast refers to prolonged fasting from 1 to 100 hours (depending on age) conducted under observation to facilitate the investigation of a health complication, usually hypoglycemia. Many people may also fast as part of a medical procedure or a check-up, such as preceding a colonoscopy or surgery, or before certain medical tests. Intermittent fasting is a technique sometimes used for weight loss that incorporates regular fasting into a person's dietary schedule. Fasting may also be part of a religious ritual, often associated with specifically scheduled fast days, as determined b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
