Simple changes



I've made some simple changes in our eating habits at home. We have gotten away from having a rich sweet dessert like ice cream or pie at the end of every meal. For awhile, I was eating ice cream every day- sometimes on the same day that I would have pie or cake. Now, our dessert is fresh fruit. A nice juicy sweet red apple is a wonderful thing served ice cold on a hot Florida day.

In cooking, I have made a conscious effort to cook with more fresh vegetables, instead of relying on a meat-based diet. I made a wonderful chicken stir-fry by adapting a dish I saw on Rachael Ray's show on hosting sweet 16 parties. It was a lettuce wrap dish, but I put in fresh shredded cabbage, and made a larger portion. That pot of food fed my husband and myself for days!!

The efforts are paying off- my stomach is flatter and I feel more energized. I don't fall alseep in front of the TV any more.

BETA-CAROTENE

Beta-carotene is a member of the carotenoid family and has over 500 relatives. Carotenoids are yellow-to-red pigments found in all green plant tissues and in some species of algae. So far 21 different carotenoids have been found in human blood. The most abundant ones are alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin. A molecule of alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, or cryptoxanthin can be split into two molecules of vitamin A in the body but the conversion of beta-carotene is by far the most effective. The six carotenoids are all antioxidants. They are very effective in neutralizing a highly reactive for of oxygen called singlet oxygen but also, to some extent, act to break up the chain reactions involved in lipid peroxidation.

Numerous studies have shown that people who consume a diet rich in dark yellow orange vegetables (carrots) and dark green vegetables (broccoli) are much less likely to develop cancer and heart disease. It has also been established that people with low levels of beta-carotene in their blood have a higher incidence of heart disease and cancer, particularly lung cancer. The National Cancer Institute endorsed a study which found that women who consume lots of beta-carotene rich fruits and vegetables have a lower chance of getting cancer, including breast cancer. The Institution says that regularly eating lots of fruits and vegetables plays a key roll in cancer prevention, but whether the preventative action comes from beta-carotene or other nutrients in the produce has yet to be determined.

For people who don't like eating their fruits and vegetables, a beta-carotene supplement pill was introduced into the market. Millions of vegetable hating Americans hoped that by taking a pill instead of eating vegetables, they could get the same rewards as their counterparts who enjoy the taste of fruits and vegetables. But officials at the National Cancer Institute released the results of two large studies designed to put the benefits of beta-carotene supplements to the test. One followed 22,071 doctors who for 12 years smokers had to be stopped prematurely because it seemed to me making the rate of death from cancer and heart disease worse. Taking a simple chemical supplement is not the same as eating a vegetable. Scientists suspect there are other natural ingredients that work with vitamins to promote health.

Healthy Dieting

Healthy Dieting

The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary.

See how much you can learn about Dieting when you take a little time to read a well-researched article? Don't miss out on the rest of this great information.

There are many balanced diets and you can choose whichever one you want.

What is great about a balanced diet is in the title it’s balanced and can give you everything you need, so you are healthy and lose weight as well.

In my research I have put some tips on balanced diets and how they will help you lose weight. The advantage with these diets is you do lose weight and become healthier at the same time

Most nutrition experts agree that balanced diets are based on three basic concepts

1. Balance

Most health professionals recommend a diet consisting of a balance as follows:

• Carbohydrate intake : 55-65%

• Protein intake 10-20%

• Fats Up to 15 - 25%


2. Moderation

Many dieting programs are successful simply because they are very good at helping people learn to plan portion size

Generally the accepted wisdom is that meals should be eaten 3 - 5 times a day and this will have the affect of decreasing hunger pangs and the desire to over eat.

You can eat the meals at anytime of day and one rule is always eat breakfast it’s the most important meal of the day.


3. Variation

All healthy diets involve the inclusion of several food-types.

The primary reason for this is by including variety in your diet, you increase your chances of obtaining the required amounts of essential nutrients you need

Vitamin and mineral composition is food-specific, so you need to eat a wide variety of foods to get all the essential nutrients for overall health.


So here are some tips on helping you start a healthy diet. And believe me it does work.

It never hurts to be well-informed with the latest on Dieting. Compare what you\'ve learned here to future articles so that you can stay alert to changes in the area of Dieting.

The Master Cleanse

The Master Cleanse is a way of bringing your body back to health by cleansing it of internal waste. These wastes build up in the colon, liver, gall bladder (if you still have one) and elsewhere. If they are not removed, toxins enter your blood stream, and make/keep you ill. Read what an expert has to say about this:

"The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level."

~ Dr Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, Ph.D.

Yet, most people who try the Master Cleanse do not last ONE DAY!! Why? Because they feel so horrible!!!
Food cravings, blood-sugar shakes, hives, sweating, headaches are only a part of the symptoms most people feel when they try to detoxify their systems.
