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.

  • Measuring Glycemic Index of Your Food  By : Bogumil Gizewski
    Before the discovery of glycemic index (GI) it was thought that determining which carbohydrates are good for you was simple. People believed that complex carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes were converted into glucose at a much slower speed then simple carbohydrates such as candy, cake, cookies, and ice cream. However, the more we learn about GI over time, the more we come to the conclusion that the simple vs. complex carbohydrates theory isn’t quite true. There are six main elements that determine the GI levels of a food.

  • Men Become Fragile With Age, Minerals Can Help  By : Darrell Miller
    With new bone material constantly replacing the old, more bone is produced than removed during childhood, which lets the skeleton grow. Bone mass peaks for most people during their 30s, with the processing reversing itself afterwards. The amount of bone slowly begins to decline as the removal of old exceeds the formation of new. Because female hormone production drops rapidly at menopause, this condition is immediately associated with increased bone loss. Hormonal changes in men occur much more slowly, with testosterone levels declining about 1% each year after the age of 40, remaining unnoticeable until after age 60.
  • Mixing it Up: Food and Drinks That Go Well With Cigars  By : Garson Smart
    First of all, it should be noted that some cigar lovers don't recommend mixing the joys of the table with those of the lighter at all, under any circumstances. There are good arguments to be made on both sides (it makes sense to focus all of one's energies on a rich, demanding taste, but on the other hand, variety is the spice of life), so decide what works for you. Also, of course, keep in mind the preferences of your dinner companions, especially if they are non-smokers, children, foodies, or people with a hyper-sensitive sense of smell.

  • Organic Versus Natural, How To Tell The Difference!  By : Willie Jones
    First of all people can get confused with, All Natural, and Organic. The USDA’s National Organic Standards does not regulate the term Natural when it comes to fruits and vegetables, however, the Food Safety and Inspection Services does regulate the term all natural when it comes to meat.

It may or may not be organic.

  • 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.
