Heart Healthy Eating on the Run

By Keira Adams

A lot of individuals eat on the run in today's fast-paced society. Eating at home is generally healthier than restaurant fare. However, you can still make healthy choices when you're eating fast food. Here are some rules of thumb you should follow as you're perusing the fast food menu.

Most fast food restaurants are conscious of the reputation their food has for clogging arteries. In response, they now offer a number of menu selections that are a lot healthier. For instance, many fast food chains now have salads on the menu. But be careful that you don't load up on dressing that's full of saturated fat. Salads that are garnished with deep fried chicken aren't as heart healthy as the ones containing grilled chicken.

If you're having a chicken sandwich, ask for grilled instead of "crispy", which is deep fried and loaded with fat. As well, it's usually a good idea to request as many veggies as possible to be included in your sandwich. Rather than using mayonnaise for a dressing, choose ketchup or mustard, which are low in saturated fat.

Instead of fries, ask for fruit or salad on the side. This eliminates a whole lot of saturated fat and gives you much needed fiber and essential nutrients. Instead of soda, pick juice or milk to drink with your meal. This can aid in maintaining normal blood sugar and give you additional vitamins and minerals.

When you're truly craving a hamburger and fries, it's ok to give in once in a while. But be aware of the portion size you're ordering. A number of fast food establishments give you portion sizes that are enough for a couple of meals. Choosing a kid's meal or a small burger with french fries will help to hold down the amount of saturated fat you consume.

If you're giving your kids fast food, don't forget that there are often healthy choices like apple slices and mandarin oranges available. Opt for juice or milk over soda.

If Mexican is on the menu, a basic bean burrito or taco can actually be quite good for your heart. By loading it up with lots of veggies, you'll be able to raise the fiber content. Although a taco salad might seem healthy, it's often laden with saturated fat and calories.

If you're always eating on the run, it's important to choose the most healthful options on the menu, or your heart might suffer for it. Your best option is to eat at home. However, if that's not feasible, why not try the "better for you" choices that are out there. - 17274

Learn Foods That Control Diabetes

By Jake Ryan

You may have heard that diet and exercise is beneficial in helping to manage your diabetes. This is most certainly true and even more so when you at the best foods for controlling your diabetes.

Carbohydrates and foods high on the glycemic index should be watched if you are a diabetic. Sugar is an aggravate of diabetes and can cause many problems if you have too much. The biggest cause of diabetes is from obesity. What your diet and control the amount of sugars you intake.

The Glycemic index is a way of measuring how fast a food is metabolized in your body. The range is 1-100 and the higher the number the faster the food turns to sugar in your body. This is a simple way of monitoring your carbohydrate intake.

Foods that are lowering on the Glycemic index are the following: lentils, beans, whole grain breads, brown rice, and sweet potatoes. There is quite a variety in taste in all these foods so you can still have a delicious food and monitor your sugar intake at the same time.

Vegetables and fruits are some of the healthiest foods for us to eat when they are not processed. They are much healthier than juices. Those who do not have diabetes should be wary when eating fatty foods and foods high on the glycemic index because there can be unhealthy side effects from eating those types of foods.

The American Association on Diabetes recommends that you should also watch your trans fats and saturated fats. They can cause heart disease. They suggest eating vegetables because they are lower on the glycemic index and help to fight diseases like heart disease.

There are some great vegetables to eat low on the index including: chili, peppers, carrots, green beans, broccoli, and cauliflower. One rule of thumb you can use to pick the healthiest vegetables is that the darker the color the better the vegetable. - 17274

Can You Trust the Claims About Resveratrol Benefits?

By Tommy L. Millano

No doubt you've heard claims like this before, haven't you? Whenever a new supplement or natural food source comes on the market, we're told that, finally, we've found the key to everlasting life and health.

Maybe you're like me. Maybe you've taken the bait with other promises and gone out and purchased all kinds of nonsense natural foods or products that all promised to be the holy grail for your mind and body.

Some of them have no doubt been beneficial to you. I know that a fair number of supplements I take on a daily basis definitely help improve my life -- and probably even extend it. But for each of them that works, there's another one right behind it that doesn't.

Sound familiar to you? So when the news first broke about resveratrol and it's supposed fountain-of-youth qualities, I naturally got excited and wanted to rush out and buy resveratrol, but I also tried deliberately to tone down my enthusiasm. I guess you can say that this is just a kind of side effects of having seen all this before.

But we need to make a distinction between resveratrol and the host of other supplements that have been discussed in the past. All you have to do is look at the studies and you can see that the hype may be justified.

In fact, the research is so promising, and apparently so convincing, that even major U.S. the big pharmaceutical companies are starting to climb on this.

So can we trust what we're hearing about resveratrol? Just because I'm not a doctor, it doesn't mean I can't read the evidence, and still believe that it is.

But now here's the real caveat to all of this. What you need to be careful of, is that because resveratrol has had such an immediate surge in popularity, you're finding that there are some manufacturers who are cutting corners in their efforts to supply a hungry market.

So it should be obvious that you need to be cautious about who supplies your resveratrol. I'm show you what I think is the very best way to find the highest quality resveratrol around at this Buy Resveratrol Supplements review page. So click on the link so I can share that with you.

And before I forget, I should also tell you that you can find out how to get your own supply of resveratrol for nothing. This is really awesome, so make sure you check out that link!)

First, just in case you didn't know about them, I wanted to go through some of the resveratrol benefits so that you can see why everyone is so excited.

I bet you didn't know that resveratrol can be 50 times more powerful than vitamin c as an antioxidant?

But all of this is just getting started. In lab tests, subjects given resveratrol performed better on all kinds of physical and mental tests -- in other words, they performed as though they were much younger. But this doesn't even begin to cover the whole story.

More than any other reason, I think this is why people are so excited. So what we have here is a substance, that occurs in nature, and that would seem to reverse or at least slow down the aging process.

It's important to just mention that we don't have lots of studies on the long-term effects of resveratrol yet. Maybe it's just me, but I don't want to wait 15 years until I'm old and sick to start trying to keep my youth.

I'd choose to start short-circuiting the aging process now. So I am hoping that 20 years from now I will be able to look back and say that I made a pretty smart decision. - 17274

Tonalin CLA Beats Belly Fat

By Jane Moore

Tonalin CLA supplements are getting some very positive support from a number of respectable resources. Like many, I struggle with an extra 15 pounds. I really require some sort of outside help to get me motivated. In the event that Tonalin CLA doesn't work out for me then very little is lost. It's enough to get me interested in trying them for a month or two.

I am impressed with what I have read so far on the subject. The two most interesting reports have come from two research universities in North America. One university is is American and is located in Wisconsin. The other university is Canadian and can be found in Guelph, Ontario. Both of these controlled scientific studies claim that Tonalin CLA really helps overweight people lose weight and maintain their new weights.

The Canadian scientific study was conducted first. It was an eight week study and used 60 individual over weight adult people as subjects in the study. Thirty people took a CLA pill everyday while the other thirty people took a placebo pill. The study was conducted in November and December and was particularly interested in monitoring the weight gain or loss if any over the Christmas holidays. The result was astounding. The CLA group lost weight in the weeks leading up to the holidays and didn't gain any weight over the holidays. The placebo group gained a bit of weight leading up to the holidays and then gained weight even more rapidly over the holidays.

Impressed by what they heard out of Canada, a group of researchers from the University of Wisconsin tried to repeat the Canadian results and were entirely successful. The American study used forty overweight adults and they studied them for six months including the 8 weeks used in the Canadian study. The participants in the American study also claimed to have lost fat from their belly region when they took daily a CLA pill. The cardiovascular experts were delighted with this extra result as belly fat can lead to heart disease which is a deadly threat to their patients.

By controlling for diet and exercise, the research teams could make certain that it was the CLA pill that was the catalyst for any weight changes. All of the subjects were carefully monitored. Both the American and Canadian research teams made sure that that all of the participating subjects consumed approximately the same amount of calories per day. Furthermore, all of the subjects had the same amount of daily exercise.

The fact that these two studies were performed by professionals at respectable North American Universities makes me think that the studies are solid. I have nothing to lose by trying this natural supplement. I am going to try Tonalin CLA and continue with my regular exercise and diet. - 17274

What is a masticating juicer?

By Daniel Williams

As you will soon discover there are a number of different juicers available to purchase. These various juicers allow you to extract juice from fresh fruit and vegetables rather than purchasing that ready prepared in your local grocery store. Not only is preparing your own juice more beneficial to your health but can save you money as well. The types of equipment for extracting juice today are centrifugal or masticating juicers.

Below we look at what the benefits are to be had from owning a masticating juicer rather than some of the other juicers that are available. However, you first need to understand a bit about how these particular juicers operate. Whereas the centrifugal juicer will shred the pulp at high speed using the blades contained within it a masticating juicer actually uses the blades at slow speed to chew up the pulp of the fruit or vegetables.

Normally these machines will be fitted with either one or two cutters and most people choose the single blade versions as they often cost the less. But if you are someone who wants to be able to extract the juice from hard fruits (apples) and vegetables (carrots) or even wheatgrass juice the models that have the double cutters are the best option for you.

So just what are the benefits from having a masticating juicer instead of a centrifugal one?

1. First off because these operate at much lower speeds as they extract the juice from the pulp of the food they create far less oxygen as well. Because of this the shelf life of the juice that you extract using one of these juicers is quite a bit longer than if you were to use the more common sort of centrifugal juicer.

2. To extract the juice from the fruit and vegetables placed into this type of juicer it goes through a number of different stages. This helps to breakdown the fiber in the food more effectively which causes more of the nutrients that our bodies need to pass into the juice rather than staying in the pulp.

3. As mentioned these means can cope with any hardness of fruit or vegetable and even placing wheatgrass into the masticating juicer is not a problem. So rather than spending considerable sums purchasing a wheatgrass juicer instead you can employ the services of a masticating juicer instead.

4. These machines are not only ideal for creating good amounts of fresh juice from fruit and vegetables but they have found to have other uses as well. Some mothers use theirs for producing healthy nutritional meals for their baby.

5. These juicers tend to make far less noise than many of the other models of juicers. Also these ones are a lot easier to clean once they have been used.

Above we have given just a few reasons why it is worth considering buying a masticating juicer instead of a centrifugal one. A quick search online and you will see that there are plenty of different types to select from you just need to decide beforehand how much you can afford to spend on it. - 17274

How Ionized Water Can Attribute To Better Health

By Chris Channing

Water ionization is a somewhat new topic in the western health groups, who are now researching the great effects that water ionization can truly obtain drinkers. So far it has been mentioned that better performance in sports and even the fact that ionized water serves as an antioxidant, among other claims that are exciting to investigate.

For the same reason that you wouldn't drink rain water because of the acidity level, you would prefer ionized water over tap water. Ionized water is conditioned to be alkaline- which is to say it is as free of acid as possible. Alkaline water is achieved by manipulating ions, or what are electrically charged atoms. The process of water ionization obtains much more that just a less acidic solution, however.

The scientific background of alkaline water in itself is interesting. It is known that alkaline water is able to carry more oxygen than that of acidic water. Health professionals claim that the increase in oxygen will better hydrate the body upon consumption, in addition to preventing acid buildup in our bodies.

Health fanatics are well aware that antioxidants are required to get rid of harmful substances in our bodies. Antioxidants are found through many sources such as pomegrantes and other fruits, but also through ionized water. The excess of electrons in ionized water allows it to act as an antioxidant to the body, and for a much cheaper price than buying fruit instead.

Ionized water is achieved through a process called electrolysis. This method allows the breakdown of water particles to make a "wetter" water. It is also said that since the atoms in the water are more compacted, you can gain more hydration from less water. This could be of benefit to those who practice sports, but also in applications such as keeping hydrated for a speech or important meeting where faltering could be critical.

The process of creating ionized water has been perfected, but the science behind it has not just yet. There are many claims of benefit that ionized water was attested to, but some argue that the sciences behind water ionization have yet to be confirmed. As more studies are conducted in the meantime, it's helpful to read other stories of how water ionization has helped out the lives of thousands all over the world since its debut.

Closing Comments

Water ionization machines are a sound investment, although they are still relatively new and could be mildly to moderately expensive. Look around online to see if you can find a water ionization model that fits your budget so you too can start gaining benefit of ionized water. - 17274

Grow Tall Today With Honest Advice

By Shaun Davids

If you have the desire to grow tall, be careful of falling for websites that give you false hope with their exercise programs, manuals and DVDs. These sites do not only waste your money and time, but also put you at risk of injuring yourself with slipped discs and torn tendons. Do not fall the lies given by those pharmaceutical giants that sell their height growth vitamins and supplements. These solutions do not work and should be avoided.

However, this doesn't mean that exercises to help you grow tall don't work. It's just better to do so when you're young and your body is still growing.

When we are babies, some of our bones are composed of cartilage. This cartilage shifts and melds and ossifies over time, forming the bones we have in adulthood. During this long process, we go from having 300 bones to only 206!

Midway through this process we hit puberty where our cartilage growth plates slowly grow longer. The problem is that once these plates have stopped growing, it is impossible to lengthen them at all with any grow taller exercises or stretches.

Nevertheless, exercising regularly to grow tall while we are still young can aid in having stronger bones. Exercising also helps us produce a natural growth enhancer in our bodies, that provides us a quicker way to grow taller. With a good exercise regime and keeping your back straight, your bones will stay stronger and healthier, and lower your chance of getting any bone weakening diseases in your senior years.

A good diet is also important to grow tall. Depriving yourself of vital nutrients such as protein, amino acids, calories, and especially calcium can weaken your body and your bones, resulting in stunted growth and other complications. As you age, your body will take calcium from your bones, which is what often causes shrinking in elderly people.

This is why, from a young age, you should get in a routine of eating healthily and exercising religiously to promote height growth. This will keep your body functioning properly and help it to grow as much as possible in your youth.

If you're past adulthood and wish to grow tall, don't lose hope. There are several height enhancing alterations you can make to your wardrobe, shoes, hair, and more to make yourself look taller and slimmer.

Do not lose hope because of one bad experience you had with a grow tall scam, Try a real solution today, and see positive results soon. - 17274
