First, they're so easy to prepare, or in the case of nuts just eat fresh from the grocery store. I prefer broccoli lightly steamed, and by lightly I mean that when I bite into the broccoli it's still very crunchy. Steaming broccoli to the point it falls apart in your hands or fork will kill a lot of the energy giving properties and benefits. And when I'm super tired I need those benefits as quickly as possible. A side of ranch dressing is a perfect compliment. Just be sure your dressing isn't loaded with additives. If you just need that hidden-valley taste here is a great raw ranch dressing recipe you can dip that energy giving broccoli in.

Most people think of almonds as salted, roasted treats...and while those are delicious they miss out on getting your body the benefits. Be sure you get real raw almonds, not almonds that are touted as raw but have gone through processing.

<br />
<br />
So what is inflammation? Well, it's a reaction locally within your body - and adverse reaction that can manifest either in one place or several at the time time. Inflammation can occur due to injury, or an infection - and can even occur from an irritation such as (you may not want to hear this) too much sugar, processed food, coffee and some teas. It can, and does, occur when you're not feeding your body enough <b>healing foods</b>. Often we think of inflammation in regards to what we can see with our eyes: a swollen ankle, red areas about the skin, and painful arthritis for example. Inflammation can, and will, often cause loss of mobility to the affected area. No fun. If you've experienced any of symptoms just mentioned then you've experienced inflammation.<br />
<br />
But inflammation isn't always so obvious, or painful, and all too often we're not even aware of its presence until its too late. Inflammation inside the body can start off as a soft whisper - but by the time its run its course and done its damage by compromising your vital organs - inflammation sounds more like a roar than a whisper. We all need to be educated on inflammation so that we can reduce it as much as possible. Did you know that asthma, digestive disorders, hormone imbalance and cancer are linked to the whisper of inflammation? These common diseases, recent research is finding, are linked with, yes you guessed correctly: inflammation.<br />
<br />
Those of you who have been around 40 years or so might remember going into your family doctor's office for a routine checkup and being asked to stick out your tongue. It was commonplace for a doctor to look at your tongue and ask "So what are you eating"? In my own experience with my HMO, I haven't even heard the question asked recently, let alone be asked to stick out my tongue. Why bother looking at a tongue? Because the condition of the tongue can give immediate clues into our body and what's really going on in there. The signs of inflammation and stress manifest there too.<br />
<br />
Sadly, these days some HMOs, in particular, simply rely upon volume of patients while the 1 on 1 intimate relationship between doctor and patient takes a back seat.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>Be your own advocate in the fight against inflammation - Modifying your diet may be your biggest weapon against disease</h2><br />
<br />
A few important questions you can ask yourself, when no one else will, are:<br />
<br />
<br />
What Am I Eating? Am I eating too much junk, sugar, processed foods, sodas, or "health foods" packed with sugars and hidden ingredients? Am I eating healing foods? Am I drinking enough water? What kind of water am I drinking? Is it quality water? Is it alkaline ionized water?<br />
<br />
How's My Stress Level? Is work stressed? Are my family obligations overwhelming me? Am I able, and educated, to effectively face the stresses I'm under?<br />
<br />
<br />
Take a moment and take stock of your answers because they're begging you to be heard. You matter. Your health matters. Your diet - recent research has found, and finally medical experts are conceeding - is a key factor when addressing inflammation at any and every stage.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3></h3><h3>The Main Inflammation Causing culprits</h3><br />
<br />
In no particular order - really, they're all bad for you on a very basic level <br />
<br />
<img alt="ionized alkaline water" border="0" src="http://www.healingwatermachines.com/alkaline-inflammation-benefits.jpg" /> <br />
<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<br />
<li><i>Candies, Cookies, Cakes</i> (The Three C's. Yummy, yes. Inflammation causing culprits? Yes again)<br />
</li><br />
<br />
<br />
<li><i>Soda</i> - Even "healthy" sodas often contain too much sugar or, eek, aspartame!<br />
<i><br />
</i></li><br />
<br />
<br />
<li><i>Chips</i> - Yes, even those "healthy" chips should be closely scrutinized for alarming sodium levels, and certain spices, which can give inflammation a leg up!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Do you love Salads? A big green salad chock full of life giving, anti-inflammation foods such as Cauliflower, Chopped Leaks, Olives, Garlic, and Spinach leaves can be injected with inflammation causing foods simply by drenching it with the wrong kind of -<br />
<br />
<br />
</li><br />
<li>Salad Dressing - check that label - does your salad dressing contain inflammation causing ingredients like sugar or refined or hydrogenated vegetable oil?<br />
<br />
<br />
A delicious and surprisingly simple time saving alternative is chopped garlic added to some virgin olive oil with a slight dash of sea salt. Very tasty!<br />
<br />
Other foods that can reduce inflammation are healing foods you probably already eat - but perhaps are unknowingly adding stuff to that doesn't belong, such as margarine (loaded with the wrong kind of oil!) or sauces that may also be loaded with the wrong oils or ingredients. Sauces - can we live without them? I think not! But we can start to pay attention to what's inside them. Modifying your diet may be your most powerful <a href="http://healingdiets.blogspot.com/2009/09/modifying-your-diet-may-be-your-most.html">weapon against disease.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
A big plate of lightly steamed green veggies like red bell peppers and broccoli can be appreciated with a drizzle of organice <a href="http://www.garlicgold.com/">Garlic Gold</a> olive oil and sea salt.<br />
<br />
<br />
We'll be talking more about inflammation in our next post. I realize that this information can be overwhelming. When I started my quest to reduce the inflammation plaguing me like a stalker I was overwhelmed - with a Capital O. I slowly began to take notice of what's inside that food? Is it a healing food or an inflammation culprit? Is it going to alkalize my body or send it into an acidic state, perfect for...no I won't say the word; I think you get it. One of the easiest changes I made, and saw quick results from (a matter of weeks) was drinking alkaline ionized water. The taste is amazing so it just goes down so smoothly that I don't even think about it. For those of you who might be going "Water, no thanks! I don't like how it tastes" - well, you haven't tasted Our Water.<br />

Things have been very busy over here at <a href="http://www.chansonalkalinewater.com/">Chanson Alkaline Water</a>, to say the least! We've been busy livng out our favorite topic, <strong>alkaline water</strong> machines, and we've also been ungergoing major changes in our corporate office; we added a brand new warehouse. Being busy is good. Sometimes it's a little like getting exercise but without all the formality of going to the gym.<br /><br />Today's post is interesting to me because it really does illustrate the healing power of both naturally alkaline rich foods combined with alkaline water. This testimony comes from one of our happy alkaline water machine drinkers. I hope you'll enjoy reading this as much as I did.<br /><br /><br /><blockquote>"Dear Nedalee,<br /><br />It was so good to meet you this weekend. I still remember the look on your face when you saw that I was drinking bottled alkaline water. It's pretty amazing to me that something so simple can connect people together in such profound ways.<br /><br />I want you to know that shortly after that weekend I found out that a good friend of mine has one of your Chanson Water Alkanizers. It was one of those things where you just sorta think to yourself...OK, this isn't a coincidence. I was pretty curious about your water by now, so I "borrowed" 3 gallons from her water machine.<br /><br />Well...wow. The first thing I noticed was the total difference in taste between the bottled alkanized water I was buying from the store and the taste of the water in my<br />glass. Now several months later I look back and without a doubt it was the taste that hooked me. But I'm getting ahead of myself in this story, so let me back up. For the next month I hit my neighbor's whole house filter up for a gallon of water daily...and some to cook with...some to wash my fruits & veggies...and after I found out about the benefits of acid water, some of that too. I will admit that I was impressed at first that my good fortune was free of charge. I guess for some of us it takes a little community outreach to get the gospel of alkaline spread! I jokingly refer to my ionized water as 'My consant flowing living water stream' and I call the acid water 'My free beauty makeover'. Please forgive me, I'm getting to the point, I promise.<br /><br />Within about a month of switching from the bottled alkaline water to your Chanson alkaline water I noticed that a burning I often have inside my stomach was greatly reduced. I didn't pay close attention to this really. I figured it was probably also because I had recently cut from my diet both sugar and white bread and started eating more green things, and I'm sure that's part of it...but then I started doing some research on the difference between the water I was buying from the store and the stuff I was siphoning from my neighbor. I don't pretend to understand structure and molecules and all the scientific facts about this water...the thing that stuck out to me is how ionized water can actually lose its molecular structure (yes I had to spell check that!)<br /><br />I would like to write more about how your alkaline water has improved my mind and started my quest for more knowledge about diet and water...that is if you won't be too imposed by my excitement.<br /><br />I know my journey has just begun. And I know it's not going to be easy switching from my junk food diet to a more <a href="http://healingdiets.blogspot.com/2009/09/modifying-your-diet-may-be-your-most.html">healing foods</a> type of diet.<br /><br />Your new alkaline convert,<br />Tracy Gomez"<br /></blockquote><br />Thank you so much Tracy for that inspiring email. Please feel free to write as much as you want. I am always so happy to hear from people like you who see the power in making small changes to their diet.<br /><br />In my next post I'll be talking about trading refined sugar loaded foods ...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.healingwatermachines.com/alkalinewaterandsugar.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.healingwatermachines.com/alkalinewaterandsugar.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />...for something just as pretty but a lot easier on the digestive system<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.healingwatermachines.com/alkalinefoodsapple.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.healingwatermachines.com/alkalinefoodsapple.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p></p><p></p><br />I receive a lot of emails from people concerned that they just can't make the number of drastic changes required to regain or improve health. My response is always the same. I just tell these people that change takes time. Start with small changes, adding in a few healing foods here and there. Feel the difference the small changes can make and focus on the small victories. Drink your alkaline water daily. And remember, alkaline water benefits come from fresh alkaline water straight from you tap. The fresher the alkaline water the batter. If you don't have a whole house water filter or even a below the counter water ionizer and you want to try this amazing water, reach out to your community.

With the degradation of the soil, contaminated with pesticides and manufacturing chemicals, as well as processed food, we must be selective in terms of the foods we eat.<br /><br />Here, then, are the top recommendations for food for sight:<br /><br /><b>Cold water fish</b> (sardines, cod, mackerel, tuna): Cold water fish are an excellent source of DHA, which provides structural support to cell membranes, and is recommended for dry eyes, treatment for macular degeneration, and sight preservation.<br /><br /><b>Spinach, kale and green leafy vegetables:</b> These plants are rich in carotenoids, especially lutein and zeaxathin. Lutein, a yellow pigment, protects the macula from sun damage and from blue light.<br /><br /><b>Eggs:</b> Eggs are rich in cysteine, sulfur, lecithin, amino acids and lutein. Sulfur-containing compounds protect the lens of the eye from cataract formation.<br /><br /><b>Garlic, onions, shallots and capers:</b> These items are also rich in sulfur, which is necessary for the production of glutathione, an important antioxidant for the lens of the eye, and the whole body.<br /><br /><b>Soy:</b> Low in fat, rich in protein, soy has become a staple in vegetarian diets. Soy contains essential fatty acids, phytoestrogens, vitamin E and natural anti-inflammatory agents.<br /><br /><b>Fruits and vegetables:</b> Our mothers always told us about these -- they were right. Fruits and vegetables contain vitamin A, C, and E and Beta-carotene. The yellow vegetables, such as carrots and squash, are important for daytime vision.<br /><br /><b>Blueberries and grapes:</b> These foods contain anthocyanins, which improve night vision. A cup full of blueberries, huckleberry jam, or a 100 mg bilberry supplement should improve dark adaptation within 30 minutes.<br /><br /><b>Nuts and berries:</b> These are nature's most concentrated food sources. Grains, such as flaxseed, are high in the beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower cholesterol and stabilize cell membranes.<br /><br /><b>Virgin olive oil:</b> This is a mono-unsaturated oil, and is a healthy alternative to butter and margarine.<br /><br />Apart from the above foods that are considered great for your sight, a general precondition to good health is drinking adequate amounts of water.

While eating soon before exercise doesn't provide the bulk of the fuel needed for the activity, it can prevent the distracting symptoms of hunger during exercise. The major source of fuel for active muscles is the carbohydrate which gets stored in the muscles as glycogen in the days before exercise. This is one reason that the post-exercise meal is critical to recovery and being ready for the next exercise session.<br /><br /><b>When To Eat</b><br />Exercising on a full stomach is not ideal. Food that remains in your stomach during an event may cause stomach upset, nausea, and cramping. To make sure you have enough energy, without causing stomach discomfort, you should allow a meal to fully digest before the start of the event. This generally takes 1 to 4 hours, depending upon what and how much you've eaten. Everyone is a bit different, and you should experiment prior to workouts to determine what works best for you.<br /><br /><br />If you have an early morning race or workout, it's best to get up early enough to eat your pre-exercise meal. If not, you should try to eat or drink something easily digestible about 20 to 30 minutes before the event. The closer you are to the time of your event, the less you should eat. You can have a liquid meal closer to your event rather than a solid meal because your stomach digests liquids faster.<br /><br /><br /><b>What To Eat</b><br />Because glucose is the preferred energy source for most exercise, a pre-exercise meal should include foods that are high in carbohydrates and easy to digest. This includes foods such as pasta, fruits, breads, energy bars and water.<br /><br /><br />Lactic acid gets secreted during exercise which makes your muscles stiff. Lactic acid can make a happy performed downright miserable when it accumulates. This inhibits performance at the gym and in athletic competition. Have you ever had a lactic acid crisis right after a hard workout? Anyone who can answer YES! understands why this is something to be avoided at all costs. I sense someone just nodded. The good news is that lactic acid accumulation can be avoided, easily and economically by drinking <strong>Alkaline ionized water. </strong>Alkaline water water should be consumed by athletes - and in fact by a growing number of professional athletes <em>is</em> being consumed during exercise because, among other benefits, it rids the body of that often pain inducing lactic acid. Why don't Gyms have an in house alkaline water filtration system? They should. Obviously we recommended gyms to have <strong>water ionizers</strong> (not just plain old filtered water) installed for their members. It's a win-win situation. And we all want to win and keep winning.<br /><br /><br />For more information on alkaline ionized water, please visit <a href="http://www.chansonwater.com/">http://www.chansonwater.com/</a>Nedalee Ruizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18389632047997603994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469740594373800824.post-13608857275002129952009-10-07T11:02:00.000-07:002010-07-12T11:19:51.268-07:00Green Tea Health Benefits.<h1><span style="font-size:78%;">Green tea doesn't just taste good.

They have been using it to treat everything from headaches to depression. In her book Green Tea: <a href="http://www.greentealibrary.com/">The Natural Secret for a Healthier Life, Nadine Taylor</a> states that green tea has been used as a medicine in China for at least 4,000 years.<br /><br /><br />Today, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. For example, in 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.<br /><br /><br />To sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful:<br /><br /><br />cancer<br />rheumatoid arthritis<br />high cholesterol levels<br />cariovascular disease<br />infection<br />impaired immune function<br /><br /><br />A great supplement to green tea is <strong>alkaline ionized water</strong>. This is also a powerful natural antioxidant as it helps wash away harmful toxins from the body. This water is electrically charged and is up to six times more hydrating than tap or bottled water.

Just pure ionized antioxidant goodness.</span></h1><p><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://allwomenstalk.com/wp-content/thumbs/47722.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://allwomenstalk.com/wp-content/thumbs/47722.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I hate to admit this, but it wasn't until recently, oh 7 years ago or so until I realized that skin is the biggest organ in the body. If you didn't know...it's okay. You're not alone. When most people think about the body's organ systems, the skin does not readily come to mind. However, the skin is the body's largest organ. It is the protector of all of the internal functions that occur. When things are not right in the inside, the skin is the first place they manifest themselves. As the protector of the human body, it is important to take care of it so that it can accomplish its job. Like for any other organ system, adequate protection for the skin starts from the inside. Thus, there are a number of foods for healthy skin that we need to consume.<br /><br /><br />This probably isn't a revelation to a lot of people but so often we just need a gentle reminder that the primary substance we should be ingesting for healthy skin is water. The general rule of thumb that applies to a healthy body is simple: drink half of an ounce for every .lb of body weight. Water - although not officially a food, it is necessary for proper tissue function and your body demands to be watered properly. People who don't drink enough water often suffer from dehydration and may have excessively dry skin and overal lower daily performace. Water is life. Pure and simple. Drink enough of the right kind of water. The right kind of water is like a natural makeup kit with Hydrated skin often has a glow to it as well, and healthy hydrated skin . This is likely because water drinkers don't often drink too many sugary substances, which damage the skin. <a href="http://www.chansonwater.com/">Alkaline ionized water</a> is <em>6 times more hydrating than normal bottled or tap water</em>. It has powerful anti-oxidant properties and prevents the skin from free radical damage. A <a href="http://www.healingwatermachines.com/">water ionizer</a> therefore; may be prove to be a sound investment. Consuming alkaline ionized water does you skin a world of good. Without water, the skin cells cannot regenerate.<br /><br /><br />Foods rich in vitamin A help the blood and skin. Carotenoids, which the body converts to vitamin A, act as natural protectors for the skin. Foods rich in vitamin A include carrots, pumpkins, potatoes, squash, mangos, greens, and cantaloupe.<br /><br /><br />Vitamin C is another food for healthy skin. Because of the benefits of vitamin C to the skin, many topical lotions are not infused with extracts of the antioxidant. However, the best way to get vitamin C is in the diet. In addition to citrus fruits, sources of vitamin C include strawberries, kiwis, tomato juice, broccoli and kale.<br /><br /><br />Foods containing vitamin E also promote healthy skin. Vitamin E has properties that serve as skin conditioners. This vitamin can be found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, olives, spinach and asparagus. Because it is hard to get this particular vitamin in food, an additional supplement may be necessary.<br /><br /><br />Tea is another substance that can promote healthy skin, particularly green tea. Tea contains antioxidants and phytonutrients that fight acne. It is also a healthy way to maintain hydration in the skin. There is still a debate over how much tea per day to drink, but at least two cups support healthy skin.<br /><br /><br />Overall, a diet rich in whole, organic foods is good for the skin. Because they don't contain pesticides or additives, they benefit the entire skin. It is important to avoid processed foods as much as possible so as not to negate the benefits of a healthy diet. </p>Nedalee Ruizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18389632047997603994noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469740594373800824.post-74456564190243281992009-09-24T11:34:00.000-07:002010-07-12T11:20:44.103-07:00Modifying Your Diet May be Your Most Powerful Weapon Against Disease<h1><span style="font-size:78%;">The benefits of eating the right healthy healing foods are staggering - and yet -people are sick, even dying, because they ignore this simple fact: eating healthy works. It can saves lives. Make a few changes to your diet and improve your life.</span></h1><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.shedyourweight.com/img/dietary-fibers.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://www.shedyourweight.com/img/dietary-fibers.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Cooking and eating good food are the cornerstones of human civilization, our daily reward for all the hard work and innumerable difficulties of life. Like it or not, what we eat has consequences for us and for the world. Dinner is not something that just magically appears on our plates. Eating is the most intimate relationship we have with the environment. In ordering a burger or making a salad, we are inextricably linked to the land, cycles of rain and sunshine, farmers and farmworkers, compost or chemicals, processing facilities and slaughterhouses, truck drivers and miles of highway, co-ops or corporations--to a whole web of ecological and human activity.<br /><br />What you eat affects the well-being of many other lifeforms. Not so long ago, we knew where most of our food came from: from the garden, or from local farmers. But now the components of our dinner likely have traveled thousands of miles to reach our table. Not just tropical foods like bannanas, coffee, and tea--we're shipping even the basics: potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, meats, and greens, not to mention boxed and canned goods.<br /><br />In August 1971, the U.S. Department of Agriculture published An Evaluation of Research in the United States on Human Nutrition; Report No. 2, Benefits from Nutrition Research. The U.S. government spent approximately $30 million analyzing the relationship diet has to disease. According to the study:<br /><br />* Major health problems are diet related;<br /><br />* Benefits would be shared by all...especially by lower economic and non-white population groups;<br /><br />* Major benefits are long range... Early adjustments of diet could prevent the development of undesirable long-range effects;<br /><br />* There exist geographical, regional differences in diet-related problems.<br /><br />It's now known that within a very short time after its release, all copies of the report were seized by the federal government. It was not until the campaign in 1933-94 for the Dietary Health Education and Supplement Act that a copy was mysteriously forwarded to the grassroots organization, Citizens for Health, to help in its fight to prevent the Food and Drug Administration from classifying food supplements as drugs.<br /><br />Within any group that seeks control and power over a population, even health is a legitimate target. If you can manipulate the population's health or induce disease by modifying what they consume, you can create a pseudo healthcare system that seems to care but is busy making billions off disease that is relatively easy to prevent or cure through diet alone. With the multimillion-dollar backing of an industry, you can also discredit any alternative to current, popularly accepted treatments by labeling them "old wives' tales," "quackery" or "unscientific."<br /><br />All this goes on to show that modifying your diet may be a very powerful weapon against disease.Nedalee Ruizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18389632047997603994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469740594373800824.post-6492239873638084702009-09-24T05:08:00.000-07:002010-07-12T11:21:12.572-07:00Dan The Regenerator Man<h1><span style="font-size:78%;">Q.

Naringenin is responsible for giving grapefruit its bitter taste. Naringenin, found naturally in grapefruit, detoxifies the liver and causes fat to be released instead of storing it.<br /><br /><br /><br />Read the full news item <a href="http://seniorjournal.com/NEWS/Nutrition-Vitamins/2009/20090714-NaringeninFound.htm">here</a><br /><br /><a href="http://seniorjournal.com/NEWS/Nutrition-Vitamins/2009/20090714-NaringeninFound.htm">http://seniorjournal.com/NEWS/Nutrition-Vitamins/2009/20090714-NaringeninFound.htm</a><br /><br /><br />Naringenin, for all its potential to heal, leaves a little to be desired on the palette. So we're going to give you a few tips to make grapefruit more appealing.<br /><br />Add some blue agave sweetener, but not a lot. Just enough to buffer the bitter. </p><p>Add some warmed up raw honey to your grapefruit; pour it right on the naked fruit.

But good news - you can do a lot about it. Drinking alkaline water can help you</span></h1><br /><br />“Hypoglycemia” is the medical term for low blood sugar (glucose). Occasionally, hypoglycemia can be dangerous (for example, from injecting too much insulin). It may also indicate a serious underlying medical condition, such as a tumor of the pancreas or liver disease.<br /><br /><strong>What are the symptoms of hypoglycemia?</strong> Common symptoms of hypoglycemia are fatigue, anxiety, headaches, difficulty concentrating, sweaty palms, shakiness, excessive hunger, drowsiness, abdominal pain, and depression.<br /><br /><strong>Dietary changes that may be helpful:</strong> Doctors find that people with hypoglycemia usually improve when they eliminate refined sugars and alcohol from their diet, eat foods high in fiber (such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts), and eat small, frequent meals. Few studies have investigated the effects of these changes, but the research that is available generally supports the observations of doctors. Some symptoms of low blood sugar may be related to, or made worse by, food allergies.<br /><br />Even modest amounts of caffeine may increase symptoms of hypoglycemia. For this reason, caffeinated beverages (such as coffee, tea, and some soda pop) should be avoided.<br /><br />Some people report an improvement in hypoglycemia episodes when eating a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. That observation appears to conflict with research showing that increasing protein intake can impair the body’s ability to process sugar, possibly because protein increases insulin levels (insulin reduces blood sugar levels). However, some doctors have seen good results with high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets, particularly among people who do not improve with a high-fiber, high-complex-carbohydrate diet.<br /><br />Some poeple have also reported major benefits from consuming <a href="http://www.chansonalkalinewater.com/">alkaline ionized water</a>. <a href="http://www.healingwatermachines.com/">A water ionizer</a>, installed on your tap, changes your tap water to electrically charged alkaline water that is said to be upto 6 times more hydrating than normal bottled or tap water, this means that our cells would absorb nutrients from the water very quickly.<br /><br />For more information on Alkaline Water, Visit <a href="http://www.chansonwater.com/">http://www.chansonwater.com/</a>Nedalee Ruizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18389632047997603994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469740594373800824.post-36363905800281050682009-08-27T02:04:00.000-07:002009-08-27T02:14:51.964-07:00Proof mounts on restricted diet<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46029000/jpg/_46029863_monkeysagain.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 416px; height: 152px;" src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46029000/jpg/_46029863_monkeysagain.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Restricted Diet has long been known to have major benefits for animals.

The reason for their widespread occurrence is simple: purines provide part of the chemical structure of our genes and the genes of plants and animals. A relatively small number of foods, however, contain concentrated amounts of purines. For the most part, these high-purine foods are also high-protein foods, and they include organ meats like kidney, fish like mackerel, herring, sardines and mussels, and also yeast.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Purines are metabolized into uric acid</b></div><div>When cells die and get recycled, the purines in their genetic material also get broken down. Uric acid is the chemical formed when purines have been broken down completely.</div><div><br /></div><div>Because uric acid is formed from the breakdown of purines, low-purine diets are often used to help treat conditions like gout in which excessive uric acid is deposited in the tissues of the body.</div>Nedalee Ruizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18389632047997603994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469740594373800824.post-47297092891441663412009-08-20T12:24:00.000-07:002009-08-20T12:30:20.766-07:00Gout Diets: Foods to Eat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.juicing-for-health.com/images/gout.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 118px; height: 171px;" src="http://www.juicing-for-health.com/images/gout.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /><div>Dietary restrictions for Gout patients suggest what people should not eat, but what should people eat?

Here are some ideas for a diet that will enhance your well-being.</span></div><div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">INSTRUCTIONS</span></div><div><br /></div><div><b>STEP 1</b> Know what foods are bad. Avoid aspartame, salt, additives, refined sugar, processed foods and soft drinks. Read labels for any processed foods that you buy to ensure you are getting quality ingredients before you eat. Better still, avoid processed foods whenever possible.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>STEP 2</b> Take stock of detoxification diets that may be good for you. Choose a healing diet that will help you eat foods that will purge the toxins you have ingested. Some diets that can be helpful are a Macrobiotic diet, metabolic typing diet, the Alkaline diet and a Ayurvedic diet.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>STEP 3</b> Understand allergies and problems digesting certain foods. If you are allergic to dairy, avoid yogurt and cheeses. If you are allergic to wheat, get your carbs from fruits, legumes and vegetables. Undergo a food allergy test to eliminate harmful foods from your diet.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>STEP 4</b> Fill out quizzes and questionnaires or talk to a nutritionist to help you focus on the right diet. The Metabolic Typing Diet directs you to healing diets based on your genes. A screening quiz can help you find a detox diet.

When we talk about eating alkaline foods or starting an alkaline diet we are referring to consuming those foods and drink which have an alkaline effect on the body. This effect is based upon the mineral content of the food and therefore the ash residue that remains after our foods are consumed. Some foods leave an acid ash, whereas others leave an alkaline ash. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Conveniently for us, it just so happens that the foods that contain alkaline minerals (and leave an alkaline ash) are all the foods we already know are good for us: low sugar foods, fresh vegetables etc. And the foods that contain minerals that leave an acid ash? You guessed it, sweets, alcohol, saturated fats, meats, dairy etc.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:7;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 48px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Of course, everybody is different - but most of us should aim to eat 70-80% alkaline foods and a maximum of 20-30% acid forming foods.This does not have to be measured in calories, grams or anything technical, just look at your plate! Is 70% of the food on it alkalising? And for the other 30%? You can do with this what you like (how acid is up to you - dependent upon the results you want), but feel free to go for some oily fish, wholemeal pasta or wild rice for example.

Diet alone, alkaline water alone or diet and alkaline water. <div><br /></div><div>My friend Jill was depressed, over weight and unhealthy. About 10 years ago she decided to radically transform her life. She started to exercise by walking on a tread mill. She became a vegan, which means she cut out all animal products from her diet including, milk, eggs, butter and honey. Jill lost 100 pounds in a short amount of time. She had just lost the weight right before I met her so I'm not exactly sure how long it took to lose it but it was less than a year. <div><br /></div><div>She ate lots of salads and avocados which are very alkalizing. She would also eat things like french fries which are not healthy or alkalizing but over all she ate more good foods than bad. It was intresting to go out to eat with her because she always had to ask the waiter lots of questions about what was in a dish and what it was cooked in and things like that. She was always polite and always had an idea of what she could eat at most places. I remember how betrayed she felt when she found out that McDonalds put beef products in their french fries. Jill didn't know anything about <a href="http://www.chansonalkalinewater.com/">alkaline ionized water</a>, so she is a perfect example of someone who changed their life by alkalizing there body through diet with wonderful results. She is now happy, healthy and fit.</div></div>Nedalee Ruizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18389632047997603994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469740594373800824.post-72332360230862944972009-07-09T04:09:00.000-07:002009-07-09T04:12:31.563-07:00Australia town bans bottled water<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46031000/jpg/_46031832_001329319-1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 170px;" src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46031000/jpg/_46031832_001329319-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div>A rural town in Australia has voted overwhelmingly to ban the sale of bottled water over concerns about its environmental impact.</div><div>Campaigners say Bundanoon, in New South Wales, may be the first community in the world to have such a ban.</div><div><br /></div><div>They say huge amounts of resources are used to extract, package and transport bottled water.</div><div>The discarded plastic bottles then end up as litter or go into landfill sites, the "Bundy on Tap" campaign says.. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8141569.stm">Read the full article</a></div>Nedalee Ruizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18389632047997603994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469740594373800824.post-69396247252453183612009-07-08T04:21:00.000-07:002009-07-08T04:34:41.859-07:00Nature's hints<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VXV6BNW05fE/SlSDj70TsCI/AAAAAAAAANM/GSv6IanVtVs/s1600-h/FWD.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 100px; height: 96px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VXV6BNW05fE/SlSDj70TsCI/AAAAAAAAANM/GSv6IanVtVs/s200/FWD.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356050510226108450" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">A Sliced Carrot looks like the human eye.

effect on the body, the citric acid they contain actually has an alkalinizing effect in the system. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Note that a food's acid or alkaline forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so, lemons are alkaline forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion, but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid forming. </span></div></div><div><br /></div>Nedalee Ruizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18389632047997603994noreply@blogger.com3
