Is Tenerife The Next Marbella ?

It is true that the Spanish do not holiday in their own country in the same way that most Euopeans do within Spain and the Canary Islands. The Spanish enjoy staying with friends and relatives in their own country as a holiday and see no point in paying for hotel accommodation or private villa rental in their own country.

Even though the South East Coastal regions of Spain stay warm all year round, the Spanish don’t care for hanging out around the tourist resorts much like the Brits in general are not that eager to spend their main holidays hanging out along the East Coast of the UK.

However, as the economic downturn bites into the UK, Tenerife has noticed a large decrease in the number of Brits travelling to Tenerife for holidays in the last quarter of 2008 and all expectations are for this trend to stay the same for some time to come! Yet the number of Spanish holidaying in Tenerife is on the increase even though the Department of Tourist Investigation of the Tenerife Tourism Board announced that October was down by 6.9% on last year for total visitors to the Island. The ten months up to October had shown a 1.38% overall increase to 4,443,426 tourists in 2008.

The holiday firm behind the Nerja Apartments booking agency confirmed that travellers from the UK to Spain was still bouyant and that plans to open a new Tenerife Apartments agency would still be going ahead early 2009 whilst solidifying the Marbella Apartments position in the market place as they increase market share. They acknowledge the subtle change being experienced in customer mix and are developing multiple language options for their websites.

Wheatgrass – The Facts

You have probably heard someone discussing Wheatgrass at some point during the last few years. Whether it is in a juice bar or from a friend or member of the family already taking one of the many various forms of wheatgrass but if you are like the majority of people, you may still misunderstand wheatgrass or the true healing power wheatgrass possesses.

Wheatgrass is basically the young blades of grass from wheat grain. When the grain is soaked and planted it develops shoots within two or three days. A few days later the shoots grow into blades of dense green grass. Within 8-10 days the wheatgrass is ready for harvesting, Its woth noting at this stage that whilst the wheatgrass already contains large levels of nutrients it has not had the time required to process complex carbohydrates often found in over-wintered wheatgrass.

Once the wheatgrass has been processed it is usually processed into various forms, which often include wheat grass powder (Often made by drying and crushing the wheat grass blades into a very fine powder) wheat grass capsules (simply the powdered wheatgrass capsulated for easy digestion) wheat grass tablets (again usually the powder cold pressed into tablet form) and wheatgrass juice. (The wheatgrass blades are put through a specialist wheat grass juicer which crushes the liquid out of the wheat grass leaving essential nutrients intact.)

Any of the various forms of wheat grass are packed with a wealth of health boosting attributes, with a large range of vitamins enzymes, minerals and amino acids. Wheatgrass also consists of at least 70% chlorophyll, which is extremely similar to blood due to its DNA structure. This means that our bodies can utilise the nutritional content in wheatgrass extemely easily.

Wheatgrass has been used for decades but it has only recently arrived in the UK and it can now be found online and at your local health food shops. Wheat grass has been in use for many medical conditions and can be applied on the skin for external skin complaints such as acne and eczema. When consumed internally it can even help cleanse the blood stream replenishing it with essential nutrients that are essential for optimum health.
