Remember 5 Little Things if You Want to Get Your Diet Right

By Thong M. Dao

If you are attempting to lose weight, the proper diet is the way to go. While most of us have a inclination to cheat a little at times because we have hectic life styles, it would be best if we were able to stick to some particular guidelines on a normal basis.

Should you deviate from the ideal healthy eating plan, these five steps will bring you back on track and prevent your body from falling too far from your ideal weight.

1. Organic fruit. A minimum of two portions of fruit should be eaten each and every day. Blending fruit into a smoothie and separating into 2 portions for later is an easy alternative to raw fruit. It's not only tasty but it will make it easier for you to keep on the right track.

2. Veggies should be consumed on a daily basis, especially organic vegetables. They give us fiber to help in lots of areas and they also help maintain our health.

If you have trouble consuming vegetables, a good way to get them into your diet is to use some leafy green vegetables, add them to your smoothy on a normal basis. It would come as a nice surprise to you that this is extremely tasty.

3. The act of sprouting is a very simple process. Lentils or wheat berries are good seeds to germinate; just soak them for a few hours in a jar of water, then drain off the water.

If you moisten them twice daily they should rapidly sprout. Nibble on these whenever you are hungry for their fantastic health benefits.

4. Omega 3 fatty acids. Although you are able to get these through meat and fish, one of the easiest ways to actually get your omega 3 fatty acids is by consuming flaxseed oil on a daily basis. Include this into your regime and you'll be stunned as to the drastic changes it will have on your general health.

5. Water. Although it's not really a food, it is an ingredient frequently lacking in people's diets and in their lives. Drink a lot of water equating to half the weight of your body daily in ounces along with sea salt of quantity one pinch per 16 ounces.

You would be amazed at the change that this will do to your overall health. Give it 7 days and see how much of a difference it makes for you. - 17274

Detox Your Body With A Natural Herbal Remedy

By Ron C George

Some people know it as a mere weed but many others depend on the herb for healing. You are probably aware of the existence of this week, which with its soft and mild herbal action can detox your body and be equally effective in the management of various healthy-related problems. It is dandelion. Dandelion has so many vitamins and minerals that you could use it to nourish your body the same way you use a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement.

You could depend on it for the amazing numbers of essential nutrients it contains: vitamins A, C and K, Choline, B-complex, iron, silicon, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, phosphorus and copper. Normally health-conscious eaters make salads with the leaves.

You could bring back hormonal balance if you detox liver with the help of dandelion. This is due to the fact that the hormones are metabolized by the liver. Looking after your liver is of paramount importance as then you can easily handle the symptoms of menopause, menstrual irregularities and PMS.

Dandelion is one of the most effective diuretics and this action helps in losing weight. While it helps in weight loss without diminishing the potassium content of the body, it does not address the primary reason for weight gain.

So it turns out that dandelion could realistically deal with the underlying issue of weight gain if it is related to poor digestion. It helps in bowel movement with the ability of enhancing bile production from the gall bladder. If you are thinking of using it for this, take it for a few months to perk up your gall bladder and liver but the intake ought to be brought down. This weed energizes some natural actions and revitalizes many secretions of the digestive system like in indigestion. It retrains your digestive organs without you having to go through much effort. Some people have trouble digesting fat due to insufficient bile but dandelion will come to the rescue again.

There are certain conditions which warn you against using dandelion to detox, and they include allergy to the ingredient or inflammation of the gall bladder, intestinal blockage or obstruction in the bile duct. The usual recommended dose for adults is 250 to 500 mg three times a day with meals. It is always advisable to consult your doctor before you start with a new supplement. Nature has many ways to keep us healthy. - 17274

Extract of Reishi and Joint Inflammation

By Dr. Markho Rafael

For over 2,000 years, Reishi extract has been used as a "cure-all" herbal remedy in Chinese Medicine, with the oldest written record of any medicinal mushroom in Shen Nong's Herbal Classic. Although it may not be totally accurate to claim that Reishi extract cures everything, traditional as well as modern use indicates that it may be a powerful anti-inflammatory agent in a large host of conditions, including arthritis.

While researching scientific papers in preparation for this article, seventeen out of nineteen presented positive results in using Reishi extract to treat inflammatory conditions. This appears to validate the traditional use of the herb in China, where it has long been used as an analgesic, and prescribed to treat inflammation and arthritis. Only two studies out of the nineteen that are referenced for this article showed inconclusive results. Both of those studies were conducted at the same institution. (1,2)

Regarding anti-inflammatory properties in general, a study out of India (2003) demonstrated that Reishi decreased inflammation in cases of acute or chronic edema by 56% and 60% respectively. (3) An earlier American study (1993) had already shown that, water extracts of G. pentaphyllum and G. lucidum [Reishi] were found to possess significant anti-inflammatory activity. (4) In the references are seven additional papers listed which all conclude that Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) possesses potent anti-inflammatory qualities. (5,6,7,8,9,10,11)

Next we'll be looking at some studies that more directly relate to the use of Reishi extract with arthritis. A paper published in 2006 by Blum et al. claimed to provide supporting clinical evidence demonstrating that use of Reishi extract for joint health was both safe and effective. (12)

The same year, another study summarized findings that Reishi in combination with a Chinese herbal remedy known as San-Miao-San demonstrated a positive "immunomodulatory effect" on rheumatoid arthritis. (13)

The mechanism through which Reishi achieves this beneficial effect on arthritis was suggested in a study the following year, 2007, by Ho et al., which states that GL-PP [Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide peptide] significantly inhibited the proliferation of RASF [Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fibroblasts] (14)

Several additional papers have been published that summarize positive results in the use of Reishi against arthritis. (15,16,17) One even states that Reishi compares favorably to prednisone, albeit without side effects. (18) On the other hand, a separate study found that supplementing with Reishi helped balance the side effects of prednisolone* that were experienced by some patients, including protein in the urine and cell toxicity. (19) (Prednisolone is the active compound of prednisone, which gets broken down by the liver and converted to prednisolone.)

In conclusion, the findings of 17 out of the 19 scientific papers referenced for this article agree that Reishi can help support joint health in cases of arthritis. However, it is important to always consult a licensed medical practitioner before using any herb for medicinal purposes, and to never change the use of existing prescription drugs without talking to your doctor about it first.

Note on name confusion: The name "Reishi" is Japanese for the perennial tree mushroom that American naturalists refer to as "Varnished Conk." In China, it is known as "Ling Zhi." All these names usually refer to the species Ganoderma lucidum, which for the sake of distinction from other types of Reishi may sometimes be called "Common Reishi" or "Red Reishi."

Several closely related species of Ganoderma also go by the name of "Reishi". Most common of these are the Hemlock Reishi (Ganoderma tsugae) found on Hemlocks in the Appalachian Mountains, and the Chinese species "Black Reishi" (Ganoderma sinense). Less common are Ganoderma resinaceum (sometimes called "Red Reishi," although that name is more often used for G. lucidum), Ganoderma neo-japonicum (no common name other than "Reishi"), and Ganoderma japonicum (Purple Reishi). - 17274

Understanding The Reasons Why You May Not Be Getting Taller

By Rodney Williams

When you or your child suffers from a shorter stature, then you undoubtedly experienced the unfair bias our society has toward taller people. It may even have made you feel sad . If you are a shorter person, you have probably tried many things to increase your height. This is a very natural thing to do, but you need to first understand why you have not grown.

Your genetic composition plays the biggest role in determining how tall you will be. There are people who have other situations that keep them from growing to their full potential. Many of these situations happen during childhood, which is when your body does most of its growing. No one person has the same problem, so talk with your doctor about why you have a short stature and how you can increase height. When you talk to your doctor, he or she will probably explain the four basic reasons for stunted growth, familial, constitutional growth delay, growth failure, and idiopathic .

Your Familial history is the most common reason why you are as tall as you are. Familial height is decided solely by your genes. If you come from a shorter family, then you will probably end up as tall as your parents.

The modern advances in nutrition and medicine have made it possible for many people to overcome their familial height disadvantages. Eating right, exercising, and getting enough sleep can give your body the stimulation it needs to grow. Administering Human Growth Hormone, or HGH, is not recommended in this situation. It is best to naturally make your body grow taller.

Another type of limitation is Constitutional Growth Delay. This is when your body does not grow at the normal time, but then quickly grows later than normal. A child suffering from this condition will normally be much shorter than his or her peers. Once puberty hits, he or she will have a major growth spurt and reach the genetic predetermined height. This condition normally runs in the family.

Growth Failure is a very serious cause for short stature. It is a sign that the body is not functioning properly. Essentially, there are three categories to this kind of failure. Systemic problems happen when there is a medical issue with your body's highly organized systems, such as nervous or cardiovascular. Endocrine issues mean that your organs are either not making or using the hormones and enzymes the body needs to increase your height. If a fetus is damaged in the womb, this can cause Congenital disorders. Some of these conditions may not be treatable and you should ask your doctor before pursuing a course of action.

The most inexplicable reason is Idiopathic Short Stature. Sometimes your body is working fine, no symptoms and no medical issues. However, you do not grow. This is not a very common condition. Also, it has not been proven that HGH can help promote growth in these situations.

Once again, only a doctor can tell you exactly why you, or your child, are not growing taller. While administering HGH might be discussed, it will be better if you try to naturally grow by eating right, working out, and sleeping. Also, do not smoke because second hand smoke may stunts growth. However, once you know the fundamental reason for your shorter stature, you can work to improve your situation. - 17274

My Real Life Acai Berry Juice Test

By Walter Adams

If you've ever watched Oprah or Rachel Ray, chances are you might have heard one of them talk about the aci berry. And since I'm one of their biggest fans, I definately saw those shows. So I decided to try them out and test the benefits for myselft. Well, what a letdown my first experience with acai berry juice was.

I was disappointed to say the least. How could Oprah and Rachel Ray be raving about this super fruit magic berry without even mentioning the possibility that it might, as my first taste test guinea pig put it 'taste blecky'? I may have something to do with the fact that I did indeed choose the most inexpensive option available, but at $2.39 for 8oz, it is not what I would consider cheap.

As you have gathered, after that first try, I decided that a taste test was in order, and I promptly lined up 3 unsuspecting household members. If Oprah and Rachel Ray love acai, there must be some redeeming taste on top of the health benefits, so I figured I just got unlucky with my first choice.

The next day I headed out to find a sufficiently varied selection of acai juices available within walking distance of my house. This task took all morning, and I found there were a wide range of options, ranging from the atual real pure acai berry juice at $80 per litre which you are only supposed to have 2 tablespoons of, and which is very bitter, (I did NOT purchse this by the way, are you kidding?), to various colorfully packaged health drinks with different juices and concentrations of acai berry juice. Here's what I found:

1. Nova Acai made in Brazil. Cost: $2.39 for 250ml/8.4oz. Contains purified water, naturally organic acai puree, organic evaporated cane juice, citric acid. Nutritionally 120 calories per container, 3.6g of fat 1.3 of which are saturated (6% of your rec. daily intake) and 39% of rec. daily intake of Vitamin C.

2. O.N.E Amazon Acai made in Brazil. Cost: $3.99 for 330ml/11oz. (Note: I think I saw this exact brand at another store for $2.99) The ingredients listed are 100% natural acai, 100% natural acerola, organic evaporated cane juice, citric acid, guarana extract, xantham gum, and lecithine de soya. Nutritionally 157 calories per container, 3g of fat 1 of which are saturated (5% of your rec. daily intake) and 167% of rec. daily intake of Vitamin C.

3. mySmoothie Superfruit Acai made in Sweden. Cost: $2.79 for 250ml/8.4oz. Contains: apple juice, crushed banana, 11% acai berry, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Nutritionally 150 calories per container, 2.25g of fat .03 of which are saturated (less than 1 % of your rec. daily intake) and 39% of rec. daily intake of Vitamin C.

4. Happy Planet extreme purple made in Canada. Cost: $2.99 for 325ml/11 oz. The ingredients listed are pure apple juice, banana puree, peach puree, acai berry puree, blackberry puree, orange bioflavanoids, green tea powder extract, ascorbic acid and beta carotene. Nutritionally 130 calories per container, 0g of fat .0 of which are saturated (less than 1 % of your rec. daily intake) and 150% of rec. daily intake of Vitamin C.

5. Arthur's Acai plus made in Canada. Cost $3.29 for 325ml/11oz. The ingredients listed are berry puree blend (acai, blueberry, blackberry, boysenberry, cherry) apple juice, banana puree, pear juice, lemon juice. Nutritionally 230 calories per container, 4.5g of fat, 1g of which are saturated (5 % of your rec. daily intake) and 40% of rec. daily intake of Vitamin C.

At the end of our very official quality controlled taste test, we were all suprised at how similar the results were - the consenses ended up with 3 juices in the 'that's pretty tasty' category, and 2 in the 'please don't serve that to me for breakfast' category. The latter sentiment, which was unanimous by the way, were unfortunately reserved for the two Brazil juices(Nova Acai and O.N.E. Amazon Acai), which are also the juices with the highest acai content. To be fair, after the official testing, one of the judges diluted one of the Brazil juices with orange juice and it improved so much that it could be considered a palatable option.

Of the three 'good' juices, all the judges deemed that they were very tasty and had 'good fruit juice' qualities. The clear winner out of our selection was Happy Planet Extreme Purple - it recieved top scores in all categories of taste, consistency, and appearance, although mySmoothi Superfruit Acai got a first place score from one of the judges. A solid second place was earned by Arthurs's Acai Plus - made in Canada.

So on taste alone, Happy Planet Extreme Purple seems to be the winner. It seems as though the Brazilian juice, which has the strongest concentration of acai, is also the least favorite. You'll have to use your best judgement here, and decide whether you will get an acai juice (blend) that tastes great, or go for a more concentrated version and flavor it yourself. - 17274

Why your muscles need a day of rest

By Jon Cardozo

It's amazing to me how many people have never thought about how much time they should be spending in the gym. They simply pick a random number of times to visit a gym each week, and sometimes they end up overdoing it.

The training turned out to be pretty basic, and I spent some time wandering around the gym to get to know the different equipment. I noticed several people show up several days in row, and they even bragged to me about how much muscle building workouts they would do in a single day or week.

I've learned a few things about weightlifting, and I've also come to understand some mistakes among beginners. Over training is one of those common mistakes.

There are many symptoms of over training which result when your body experiences total exhaustion in the gym. When you work your body too hard for too long, your entire body will begin to suffer for it.

I'm not saying this will happen right away, but you need to get to know your body and how much rest you need. Even if you don't end up getting sick, you may be sabotaging your muscle building efforts by working out too often.

The idea here is that you have to give your muscles rest because that is when they actually grow. Weightlifting stimulates the muscle, but the actual growth will occur afterwards.

One way to tell if you have been doing too much weight lifting lately is to record your progress. Ideally, you should be able to increase the weight slightly during each new session. If you can't do this, or if you can't even repeat your previous load, you're probably overdoing it.

The bottom line is that you need to be cautious and take care of your body. When it comes to weightlifting, learn as much as you can about all aspects including the recovery phase. The right amount of rest can actually boost results and keep you healthy. - 17274

New Acai Berry Diet Advice

By Carolyn Perez

The acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) has been touted as the world's greatest "superfood" and it has been credited with many amazing claims from weight loss to cancer prevention and even anti-aging.

A lot of of these claims may be somewhat exaggerated as there is not one "miracle" food that supercedes all others but the fact is that there are actually many, many "miraculous" foods and the acai berry is just one of them.

This tiny berry that is found only in the Amazon rainforest does have some of the highest antioxidant qualities ever found on the planet. It has double as many antioxidants as blueberries and even 10 times as many as red grapes. It also has monounsaturated fats in the form of Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9 and oleic acid. Plus it is loaded with phytosterols and healthy dietary fiber.

When it comes down to it the acai berry is one of the most healthy and rich with antioxidants foods ever found in nature and our bodies want and even crave these nutrients to function at optimal levels. Although this little berry and the products created from it are not the miracle cure for everything that ails you such as anti-aging, fat fighting and disease prevention. The acai berry is just one component in the quest for great health.

It has been confirmed by science that while it is possible to get antioxidants and other nutrients from supplements it is by far healthier to obtain your nutrients from the consumption of a wholesome diet. Each and every one of the nutrients that we need including the outstanding nutrients that are found in the acai berry work at their optimal levels when combined with other nutrients. In nutrition the synergy of the whole beats a single nutrient every time.

In order to get the uppermost benefit from the acai berry it needs to be incorporated as part of a balanced, extremely nutritious diet plan that includes lots of other high antioxidant foods including blueberries, pumpkin, spinach, kale, pomegranate, sweet potatoes and even more as the list of healthy, extremely nutritious foods goes on and on. Even small amounts of dark chocolate and a glass of red wine make the list. Without doubt though one of the greatest pieces of nutritional advice is "all things in moderation".

Acai berries and the products made from them can be an very healthy contribution to a well-balanced and healthy diet plan. The high nutrition and the excellent antioxidant qualities can help you decrease the effects of aging, lose extra weight and prevent serious disease, not on its own but only as a part of a nutritious overall diet plan.
