At that time, I threw out all my packaged foods and began buying fresh organic produce at the one little health food store in my neighborhood. It seemed simple then - just eat food as close to nature as possible and everything will be okay. My health improved dramatically and I believed that I was on the right track.

    It is when the acid from your stomach leaks up into the esophagus. Heartburn is very common during pregnancy.

Proteins are also needed in our body to repair muscle damage that occurs during mild exercise. Protein is made from a chain of amino acids and our body cannot make some of these amino acids, which means that they need to be found in our diet.
  • Give Your Health A Boost With Silica Hydride A Powerful Antioxidant  By : Darrell Miller
    A free radical is a positively charged molecule that is deficient in an electron. Whereas stable compounds consist of electron pairs, a free radical consists of electron pairs and one unpaired electron. Although such a compound is not stable, it does not immediately disintegrate but grabs the nearest electron it can find. This would normally be an electron in the nearest body cell to it, whether it is a blood cell, a cell in an artery wall or a skin cell. The result is that the cell that loses the electron is disrupted.

  • The Effects On Health Of A Well-Balanced Diet  By : Jon Caldwell
    The premise behind the negative calorie diet recipe is the belief that there are negative calorie foods that take more calories to digest than the actual calorie content of these foods and so creating a negative caloric effect. The added energy to break down these foods is taken from the stored fat in the body causing weight loss through the negative calorie diet. For example an apple containing 50 calories may require 100 calories to digest via the negative calorie diet recipe. So an additional 50 calories have been burnt simply by eating that particular food via the negative calorie diet.

  • You Should Say: Please Pass The Broccoli, Not I  By : Darrell Miller
    Some say that the nutritional punch of broccoli is stronger than that of any other vegetable. Is this claim justified? Let’s have a look at the evidence and the facts and you can judge for yourself. First the ‘ordinary’ nutrients of broccoli: vitamin C (more than oranges) and A, folic acid and calcium and also lots and lots of fiber. However, this wonderful vegetable contains not only high levels of calcium, but is also the one of the richest vegetable sources of magnesium. Calcium needs magnesium in order to be properly incorporated into your bone structure, and so broccoli is a very important calcium/magnesium source for vegans that do not drink milk or eat any other dairy products.

  • Zinc - The Brain  By : Steve P Smith
    Initial laboratory experiments appeared to show two ways in which zinc discharged its anti-oxidant functions. The first is that dozens of vital enzymes within the body contain zinc and in these enzymes the zinc molecule acts directly as an anti-oxidant, protecting the biochemical structure of the enzyme from free radical attack. Secondly, zinc acts to stabilise proteins which may otherwise react with highly unstable minerals, particularly iron and copper, to form free radicals.

  • Chocolate Life: A Healthy Food  By : Cherrie Carew
    This is the point at which opinions begin to differ, as the argument for chocolate in terms of flavinoids and anti-oxidants is negated for many people by the presence of the sugar and fat in chocolate. The potentially harmful effects of these are seen as outweighing the benefits of the others, particularly as flavinoids are available in other food and drink such as vegetables, fruit and tea. As with many things, common sense has to play a part. All things are harmful when taken in excess, even foods which are generally believed to be beneficial to our health.

    Avoid excess insulin by monitoring the amount of carbohydrates you consume. In the body, high carbohydrate foods convert glucose and rapidly enter the bloodstream. Glucose in the bloodstream prompts the secretion of insulin…and glucose can cause excess insulin. Insulin shuttles glucose out of your bloodstream. This shuttling action of insulin cuts off the release of fat for energy. Stored fat becomes unavailable for energy (fat burning). Insulin promotes fat storage.
  • Worst Foods To Eat (Part 2)  By : Brenda Williams
    Americans looooove their coffee, but at what cost? If you thought the price on a venti mocha was high, consider the price you’ll end up paying in the long run when it comes to your health. For instance, did you know that in one 20oz cup of Starbucks Venti Caffè Mocha made with whole milk and topped with whipped cream that there are approximately 450 calories and 13 grams of bad fat?! A healthier alternative would be to have a cup of tea, but for the die-hard coffee drinkers out there who absolutely HAVE to have that coffee, consider getting your next beverage made with skim milk and light whipped cream or no whipped cream at all.
  • Worst Foods To Eat (Part 1)  By : Brenda Williams
    When it comes to losing weight, the first place that most people head to in the supermarket isn’t the produce section; it’s the frozen food section. That’s right. They have heard about all of those Lean Cuisine and Pepperidge Farm frozen meals and figure that they’re automatically a safe bet because: a) they’ve been advertised as such and b) they’re portioned better so that portion control isn’t necessarily left up to you to figure out. Life’s pretty easy now, huh? Wrong. What a lot of people fail to realize is that although many of these frozen meals advertise otherwise, there are A LOT of additives in the food which help to give it the flavor or preserve it beyond simply being frozen.

  • Discover The Power Of Whole Grains  By : Randy Powell
    Getting your children to eat whole grain breads or pasta may be a problem especially if they are not starting out young. White bread is an acquired taste. Whole grains can be acquired too. Starting out early helps since children are much more adaptable to accepting foods than adults. But if you only expose them to healthy, whole grain foods they won't have the chance to develop a taste for white bread or other non-nutritious foods. Bologna and cheese taste just as good on sliced whole wheat.

  • L-Carnitine, Nutrient That Turns Fat Into Energy  By : Bardnurz Sham
    The heart is highly dependent on L-Carnitine as it obtains 70% of its energy from fat breakdown. As L-Carnitine is required to transport fat into the mitochondria for breakdown into fuel, without sufficient L-Carnitine, the heart muscle will be weak and drained of energy. By accelerating fat burning for energy, L-Carnitine also prevents the build up of fat in this vital organ. Apart from improving oxygenation of the heart muscle, L-Carnitine, with its antioxidant properties protects the heart muscle and increases its strength.

  • All B Vitamins Must Be Coenzymated Before The Body Can Use Them  By : Darrell Miller
    An enzyme is like an organic catalyst: it takes part in biochemical reactions by allowing such reactions to take place, but itself remaining unchanged. All enzymes are proteins formed in your body from amino acids and other protein material. A coenzyme, on the other hand, is somewhat like an enzyme for the enzymes, in that it is needed for the enzyme to do its job. Without a coenzyme, many enzymes could not promote the biochemical reaction it is responsible for.
  • Is Your Water Dead Or Alive?  By : Bardnurz Sham
    Nowadays we have pesticides and herbicides in our fruits and vegetables, heavy metal in our fish, antibiotics and growth hormones in our meat products and additives, preservatives and artificial coloring in our processed foods and drinks.

  • Salads, Dressing, Spices And Deserts In A Raw Food Lifestyle  By : Kevin Gianni
    Nomi: I really think the secret of the salad is the dressing. I remember when I worked at Hippocrates, Annamarie Clements was speaking and she told us about a young girl who was very ill and was really having a hard time. They don’t just eat salads; they have a ton of sprouts in them. She said to Annamarie, if only her favorite dressing could be in it she’d be able to eat it better. They went out and bought it for here. It wasn’t even that healthy a thing. It helped to get it down. So it’s terribly important that it taste well.

  • Does Our Food Eat Us?  By : Dr. Ken Woods
    The FDA is very much aware of this fact but has done little or almost nothing to protect everybody from the aftermath this billion dollar industry may cause. Since early 1990’s scientists have urged the food industry and the FDA, to carry out conclusive studies about the threats that GMOs can pose. Until it is proved that no harm is being done to living beings and the environment and particularly causing no severe health risk, to young children, consumption of such foods can be disaster prone. But unfortunately till date, the FDA has blatantly ignored the warnings and is allowing big corporation to use all of us as guinea pigs while the wallets of the business heads in the biotechnology industry are getting obscenely fat!
  • Foods Can Damage Your Health  By : Syahrul Azlan Idris
