DON'T TAKE PANADOL AND PANADOL ACTI FAST AND PANADOL SOLUBLE

2008-06-13T04:42:00.000-07:00

DON'T TAKE PANADOL AND PANADOL ACTI FAST AND PANADOL SOLUBLE especially if you have gastric problems

FYI... One real story from a friend....

My husband was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the hospital is planning to set up a database of its patient. And he knows some of the doctors quite well. The doctors used to tell him that whenever they have a headache, they are not willing to take PANADOL (PARACETMOL). In fact, they will turn to Chinese Herbal Medicine or find other alternatives.

This is because Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms the liver. According to the doctor, Panadol will reside in the body for at least 5 years. And according to the doctor, there used to be an incident where an air stewardess consumes a lot of panadol during her menstrual as she needs to stand all the time. She's now in her early 30's, and she needs to wash her kidney (DIALYSIS) every month.

As said by the doctor that whenever we have a headache, that's because it is due to the electron/Ion imbalance in the brain. As an alternative solution to cope with this matter, they suggested that we buy 1 or 2 cans of isotonic drink ( eg.100PLUS), and mix it with drinking water according to a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (simply, it means one cup 100plus, one cup water. or 2 cups water). I and my husband have tried this on several occasions, and it seems to work well.

Another method will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water so that it bring the blood pressure down from your throbbing head.

As Panadol is a pain killer, the more Panadol you take, the lesser would be your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain).

We all will fall ill as we aged, for woman, we would need to go through childbirth. Imagine that we had spent our entire life popping quite a substantial amount of Panadol (Pain Killer) when you need to have a surgery or operation, you will need a much more amount of general anesthetic to numb your surgical pain than the average person who seldom or rarely takes Panadol . If you have a very high intake of Panadol throughout your life (Migraine, Menstrual cramps) it is very likely that normal general anesthetic will have no effects on you as your body is pumped full with panadol and your body is so used to pain killer that you would need a much stronger pain killer, Morphine??

Value your life, THINK b4 you easily pop that familiar pill into your mouth again. Please send this to people you care about.

Chicken Wings - Its Dangerous!

2008-06-09T06:00:00.000-07:00

Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies, especially; a true story...!

A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an operation to remove the cyst. The cyst removed was filled with a dark colored blood. She thought that she would be recovered after the surgery but! she was terribly wrong.

A relapse occurred just a few months later. Distressed, she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation.

During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled her. He ask if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she replied yes wondering as to how, he knew of her eating habits.

You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met. This need is none other than the need for food.

Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the wings. Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration of steroids exists. These steroids have terrifying effects on the body as it accelerates growth. It has an even more dangerous effect in the presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone to the growth of a cyst in the womb. Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!

Baby's Diet

2008-05-11T03:38:00.000-07:00

Hey, Mum, are you ready for your babies to start eating solid foods ? Do you know that you should watching your baby's diet !
Introducing solide foods to babies too early may cause them to struggle with obesity later in life.
New research from the University of Buffalo in the United States shows that letting children eat food high in carbohydrates or cereals and juices before their bodies are ready for them can create a change in body chemistry. More than that, it can reprogramme their metabolism and carry this on to their kids as well.

When we take babies off milk and formula too early, their bodies tend to overproduce insulin and that causes weight gain. It can also lead to other health problems, like type 2 diabetes, which can become hereditary.
It's best for mothers to breastfeed their babies until they're sure that they're ready for solid foods. Four to six months is a good rule of thumb but check with your physician to be safe. Nothing is gained by rushing your baby's diet.
So, do take a short time to understand your baby's behavior and do breastfeed to your babies.

BOTTLED WATER - DANGER!!!

2008-05-08T06:55:00.000-07:00

Bottled water in your car.....very dangerous, woman!!!!
This is how Sheryl Crow got breast cancer. She was on the Ellen show
and said this same exact thing. This has been identified as the most
common cause of the high levels in breast cancer, especially in
Australia .

A friend whose mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The
Doctor told her: women should not drink bottled water that has been
left in a car.

The doctor said that the heat and the plastic of the bottle have
certain chemicals that can lead to breast cancer. So please be careful
and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car, and, pass
this on to all the women in your life.

This information is the kind we need to know and be aware and just might
save us!!!! The heat causes toxins from the plastic to leak into the
water and they have found these toxins in breast tissue. Use a
stainless steel Canteen or a glass bottle when you can!!!

The True Cause Of Gout Is Your Diet

2008-05-07T08:00:00.000-07:00

When you get an high level of Uric acid accumulating in your joints you are likely to develop Gout. Specifically this accumulation of uric acid change to crystals, and the crystals act to impede and restrict movement in your connective tissue. When you reach this stage it becomes difficult to move fingers and toes.

The crystals form quickly, sometimes in a matter of a few hours, and they can grow fast. The growth will lead to an inflammation of the skin around the infected area, and the first symptoms most people notice with gout are swelling and redness of the skin, alongside the restricted movement. The crystals can enlarge to the point they cannot be contained by the skin and ooze through it's surface.

So, what causes this build up of Uric acid? Basically Uric acid is a purine, which is a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies and in a lot of our food. They are not a part of our diet that is vital. Purines are a type of nucleic acid and occur in certain foods as a nitrogenous compound. In over 50% of cases where peoples diet is high in purines an elevated risk of gout is expected.

Some people are born with an abnormally high level or Purines in their system, and this is most likely passed on from their mother. However in most cases gout can be attributed directly to a high purine diet. As the Purine levels that are consumed in food increases, so does the chances of developing gout. There may be some genetic predisposition to developing gout but it is more likely associated directly with natural genetic immunity levels.

It should be clear then that avoiding gout is a rather simple matter of avoiding the food groups which are most often associated with high purine levels. This avoid the uric acid build up in the joints and in doing so avoids gout. It is possible to completely avoid recurring cases of gout by taking control of the diet and removing all purine rich foods and replacing them with foods that will not increase the natural purine levels in the system.

It's also a very good idea to be aware of your acid/alkaline balance levels. Uric acid is one type of acid that when unbalanced can cause complications such as gout, there are many others that come with their own complications. So it's important to understand how alkaline balances out the acids within our system and what role each has.

How Many Calories To Lose Weight?

2008-05-07T07:57:00.000-07:00

Isn't that what we all want to know -- exactly how many calories will make us lose weight, magically and forever? But...

* Is that the number of calories you should eat, or the number you should cut out?
* How many calories for how much weight?
* Does it depend on your body shape/genes/lifestyle/metabolism?
* How many calories a day/week/hour?

Confusing isn't it?

Let's take the questions one at a time.

First, you can choose whether to work out how many calories you need to eat or you can decide how many calories to trim from your normal eating pattern. All it means is finding a way to the right number of calories (or kcal) for your needs right now.

Second, you need to decide how much weight you want to lose -- but be sensible, no one wants to see your skeleton while you're still wearing it. As a good start, aim to lose a pound or two a week, but not more than that or you'll just be losing water and muscle instead of fat. Human fat contains about 3500 kcal per pound, so to lose a pound a week you should use up 500 kcal more a day than you eat.

Third, yes and no. Your body shape / genes / lifestyle / metabolism will all have some effect on how easily you tend to gain or lose weight. But the most important of these is lifestyle. For example, an Olympic athlete will burn calories faster than someone who sits in a chair all day. And a person who eats a balanced diet will not put on weight as quickly as someone who gets every meal from a fast-food outlet.

Fourth, the usual recommendations for daily calorie intake are 2000 kcal for women and 2500 kcal for men. If you are particularly short / tall / fine-boned / muscular / active / sedentary your calorie needs could easily be very different. You can calculate the exact number of calories you require by multiplying your resting metabolic rate with your activity factor. For example, a 6 ft-tall bricklayer might need 3700 kcal while a 5 ft-tall housebound person may only use 1400 kcal.

To summarise how many calories to lose weight are required, it comes back to the old -- but true -- saying 'eat less, do more'. In this case less really is more: less calorie intake, more weight loss -- although that doesn't mean you have to starve yourself. Just watch portion sizes and be a bit more active!

Most of us love to eat, that's human nature. But it's what we're eating that can make all the difference, small changes in our eating patterns really can transform our figures!

And just as a final thought - did you know that you could lose 36 days from your lifespan for every 11 pounds of excess fat you have? There's an incentive for healthier eating!

Why Invest the Time in Making all Natural Drinks at Home?

2008-05-07T07:51:00.000-07:00

How often do you find yourself grabbing a can of soda or reaching for that third cup of coffee? Many of us use these drinks daily in order to gain that extra burst of energy or simply to quench our thirst. But what health benefits do we gain from these beverages? In most cases we gain absolutely zero beneficial nutrients. One way that we can gain beneficial nutrients and, believe it or not, that often needed burst of energy is by creating our own, all natural, drinks at home.

Many people are unaware of the health benefits which come from homemade fruit and vegetable drinks. By making these fresh fruit and/or vegetable juices, we enrich our bodies with extra vitamins and minerals. These vitamins and minerals in turn, activate the enzymes in our bodies. Enzymes are essential to our health and diet because they are a major part of the metabolic activity in our bodies. Therefore, without the proper intake of vitamins, the enzymes in our bodies will not function properly. We will become weak and malnourished because human bodies are unable to produce their own vitamins. Some of the ways your body may signal that its lacking vitamins may be through problems with digestion, difficulty losing or gaining weight, feeling drowsy or dizzy during the day, feeling tired or weak.

Making these drinks is very simple, all you need is a juicer, fruit, and vegetables. Natural vitamins are found only in living things, so make sure that your fruits and vegetables are juiced raw. For instance, you do not want to use canned fruit. You can create any combination of fruits and vegetables, the possibilities are endless and the outcome is always delicious. So treat your body to a healthy delight today and feel better tomorrow.

Metabolic Advantage of a High Protein, Low-Carbohydrate Diet

2008-05-07T07:50:00.000-07:00

The metabolic advantage in low-carbohydrate diets - greater weight loss than isocaloric diets of different composition.

It is widely held that a calorie is a calorie and by this it is usually meant that two isocaloric diets lead to the same weight loss. A calorie is a measure of heat energy and when food is being referenced, it represents the total amount of energy stored in food. Used in this way, all calories are equal, whether from fat, protein, or carbohy-drates. However, the idea that a dietary calorie is a calorie as far as how it influences useable and storable energy, body weight, and composition under all conditions is simplistic at best.

Many factors influence how much energy is actually derived from dietary macro¬nutrient intake. Calories can be "wasted" in many ways. Decreased absorption from the GI tract and increased excretion are two obvious ways. An increase in thermo¬genesis and energy expenditure will also waste calories. In the case of thermogenesis (thermic effect of feeding), or the heat generated in processing food, the thermic effect of nutrients is approximately 2-3% for lipids, 6-8% for carbohydrates, and 25-30% for proteins. This in itself is almost enough to explain the metabolic advantage of low-carb, high-protein diets. But there's more involved. For example it has been shown that increasing dietary protein increases fat oxidation. As well, the calorie cost in the use of the various macronutrients for energy also differs, with protein being the least efficient.

Through the interaction of both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial pathways it is possible to store both carbohydrates and protein as body fat. In the case of protein, it involves both the glucogenic and ketogenic amino acids. The ketogenic influence on body fat is obvious, since ketones are readily metabolized to two carbon units and can be directly used for lipogenesis. The glucogenic amino acids can enter the TCA cycle as intermediates and either through a short or long pathway end up as 2 carbon units that can be exported to the cytoplasm for lipogenesis.

Low-carbohydrate and higher-protein diets do more than increase weight loss. It's also been shown that low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets favorably affect body mass and composition and that these changes are independent of energy intake.

But this is nothing new. Prior research also found that a low-carbohydrate diet results in a significant fat loss and an increased retention of muscle mass, either alone or in comparison with a high-carbohydrate diet.

For example, in 1971 a group of researchers looked at the effects of three diets that had the same calorie and protein levels, but varying fat and carbohydrate content.They found that, as the carbohydrates in the diets went down, there was an increased weight and fat loss. In other words, the men who were on the lower-carbohydrate diets lost the most weight and body fat.

In 1998, another study, this time involving obese teenagers, came up with similar results. After 8 weeks on a low-carbohydrate diet, the teens not only lost significant amounts of weight and body fat, but even managed to increase their lean body mass.

In the study, a 6-week carbohydrate-restricted diet resulted in a favorable response in body composition (decreased fat mass and increased lean body mass) in normal-weight men. The results of this study indicate that a low-carbohydrate diet mobilizes and burns up body fat more than a high-carbohydrate diet, while at the same time preserving muscle mass.

Insulin, by varying the amount of fat and carbohydrate storage, can also make the body more efficient in the use of dietary calories. For example, decreased insulin levels, increased insulin sensitivity and even lack of an insulin receptor in fat tissue leads to increases in energy expenditure and helps to protect against obesity even in obesiogenic environments.

Calories from different macronutrient mixes can affect appetite, satiety, compliance, short- and long-term compensatory responses, and changes in the oxidation of other substrates and thus make a difference as far as weight loss and body composition are concerned. For example, one study found that fat mass status and the macronutrient composition of an acute dietary intake influence substrate oxida¬tion rates. This study found that the intake of a high-protein, lower-carbohydrate single meal improved postprandial lipid oxidation in obese women and produced an increased thermic response. These responses were due to elevated insulin levels that occurs with higher-carbohydrate meals as well as the increased energy needs associated with the higher-protein meal.

The enhanced weight loss on protein-enriched diets as compared with balanced diets has been often assigned to a greater food-derived thermogenesis, an effect generally attributed to the metabolic costs of peptide-bond synthesis and breakdown, urogenesis, and gluconeogenesis.

Is Fast Food Good or Bad?

2008-05-07T07:45:00.000-07:00

Is fast food good or bad? Would it be fair to answer this question with the answer both? Well after some thought and consideration I have decided to go with than answer. Why? Well while the traditional definition of fast food includes greasy burgers, oil dripping French fries, saturated and trans fat central not to mention sugar filled sodas. However, there are some fast food restaurants today that are trying their best to change the game and offer some nutritious meals while maintaining fast food prices and quick service.

The Good

Restaurants like subway, Arby's, and Chicken Kitchen are offing an alternative to traditional fast food. Their menus consist of somewhat healthy meals and they provide the same quick service as the burger and fries fast food. For instance the 6" chicken teriyaki at Subway has less than 6g of fat and contains only 370 calories in total, and this is one of the more fattening items on the "fit" menu. It also tastes really good! Subway was relatively expensive less than a year ago but these days you can get a foot long for 5 bucks! This is also becoming true for many of the other "healthy fast food restaurants." With our hectic lifestyles these types of restaurants can be life savers for someone who has no other choice but to grab lunch every day.

The bad

If your definition of fast food IS burgers and fries then yeah it's bad for you. Basically put the bad nutrition outweighs the good nutrition by a whole lot in these meals. One burger and fries meal can be over 1000 calories at some restaurants which is half of what our intake should be for the entire day! Anything deep friend should be avoided as much as possible. Even some of the healthy fast food is not so great. For instance at Chicken Kitchen most of the menu includes white rice which is not that good to be eating very often. And the mayo in the subway tuna can kill the whole meal. So choose carefully what you eat even with the healthy fast food places.

The ugly

When it all comes down to it fast food is fast food. It will never substitute for good ol fashioned home cooking where you know exactly what's going into your body. It can also become really expensive when trying to eat healthy but still having to eat out since it is a little more expensive to get quality food on the road.

Eating Healthy

2008-05-07T07:43:00.000-07:00

In today's fast paced society it's difficult for us not to stop somewhere for a fast meal or a quick refreshment. We often ignore the Nutrition Facts panel on the packaging of the food which we just purchased because most of the time we are driving as we are consuming the product. What we miss by not looking over those important numbers is both shocking and repulsive.

Whether we are at home or grabbing something fast to eat on the way to work, many of us tend to overlook those nutrition statistics. What we usually miss by overlooking the Nutrition Panel are extremely high calorie, saturated fat, and sodium numbers. All of these numbers have a tremendous effect on our health. It is a well known fact that a diet high in saturated fat and high in sodium can lead to numerous health problems. So how can we avoid the dangers of these foods? Well, the answer is simple, by looking at the Nutrition Facts panel.

Remember that everything you purchase has to have the Nutrition Facts so you never have to guess as to what you are buying. Most people who take the time to look over the nutrition panel simply look over the calories and the grams of saturated fat. While that is important, you also want to make sure that you look at the amount of sodium in the product. Sodium is often overlooked even though it's an important factor in determining the product's nutritious values. Too much salt in your diet is very unhealthy; therefore, you should always look at the sodium levels especially if you are eating something canned or frozen. Many companies today are striving to create more sodium-free products. So as long as you are willing to eat healthy, there are many healthy alternatives available today. Just don't hesitate to look over the Nutrition Facts panel before you purchase the product.

Have You Tried the Acid Reflux Banana Treatment?

2008-05-07T07:41:00.000-07:00

There are different ways to treat acid reflux symptoms, regardless of the cause. While some treatments involve the use of medications, other treatments take a more natural approach such as the acid reflux banana treatment.

Aside from being a really tasty and nutritious fruit high in vitamins and minerals, bananas contain virtually no fat, sodium, or cholesterol. For this reason, bananas are not only an integral part of a healthy diet, they can be used as a natural remedy to treat and prevent a number of health issues including, insomnia, depression, anemia, hypertension, and heartburn.

How exactly can a banana help with heartburn? Bananas have a natural antacid effect on the body. They primarily suppress acid secretion in the stomach by coating and protecting the stomach from acid, which helps against the formation of stomach ulcers and ulcer damage.

There are two ways in which the antacid property of a banana helps suppress acid:

Firstly, bananas contain a substance that encourages the activation of the cells that make up the lining of the stomach. As a result, a thicker mucus barrier is formed to provide the stomach with more protection against acid.

Secondly, bananas feature compounds called "protease inhibitors", which help to eliminate certain bacteria within the stomach that have been found to contribute to the development of stomach ulcers.

How can I add bananas to my diet? If you would like to help prevent heartburn by incorporating bananas, try eating a banana a half-hour before a meal, or directly after a meal. Some GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) sufferers also find eating a banana during a meal or half a banana before and after a meal beneficial. It's also a good idea to eat a banana when heartburn symptoms appear.

If the idea of eating a plain banana doesn't thrill you, there are more fun and tasty ways you can add bananas to your diet. The following are some suggestions:

Eat dried banana or mashed banana as a snack

Cut up a fresh banana or use dried banana pieces and add it to cereal, yogurt, and salads

Make a banana smoothie with live cultured yoghurt

Banana shake (if you are allergic to milk and milk products, substitute with soy milk)

Banana split - go easy on the ice cream

Banana bread

Banana muffins

Banana cake

Fruit bowl (excluding citrus fruits)

Banana sandwich with cinnamon

Here are a few other facts to keep in mind when making banana recipes:

Bananas with green tips are best used for cooking or should be left to ripen before eating.

Bananas with yellow tips are best for eating

Bananas that are browning or have dark brown or black specks are ideal for baking (Note: the more ripe the banana, the sweeter it will be because the starch has turned to sugar, making it better for baking)

Bananas are the most popular fruit in America, are available all year round, and are low in cost, so it shouldn't be too difficult for you to make acid reflux banana remedies part of your regular diet. However, it is important that you eat bananas according to your lifestyle requirement. Keep in mind that Bananas are high in sugar. Thus, if you are eating more than one banana per day, you do need to burn off the energy you are providing your body to maintain a healthy body weight. Also, refrain from eating bananas close to bedtime because acid reflux can still occur when you are sleeping as the lower esophagus sphincter relaxes.

THE SEVEN DANGEROUS AFTER A MEAL

2008-05-06T07:53:00.000-07:00

DON'T ACT THE 7 ACTIONS BELOW
AFTER YOU HAVE A MEAL

* Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).

* Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.

* Don't drink tea -

Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.

* Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.

* Don't bathe - Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

* Don't walk about -

People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

* Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

The Most Dangerous Potato Chips to Eat

2008-05-06T07:42:00.000-07:00

Public knowledge of the serious dangers found in potato chips may finally be surfacing. The California-based Environmental Law Foundation (ELF) has filed notices with the state's attorney general against potato chip manufacturers:

Lay's potato chip maker PepsiCo Inc.
Pringles maker Proctor & Gamble Co.
Cape Cod potato chip parent Lance Inc.
Kettle Chips maker Kettle Foods Inc.

... that would require them to place labels on their products warning consumers about the high levels of acrylamide found inside. Acrylamide is formed when starchy foods are baked or fried at high temperatures and is considered a cancer-causing chemical by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.

Manufacturers who sell their products without such warnings are in violation of California law, California Proposition 65.

The attorney general's office has 60 days to decide to pursue the case; if the state declines, the ELF will file lawsuits against the companies.

What Do the Chip Makers Have to Say?

The reaction from the chip makers was on the defensive ... though the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) wavering position on the dangers of acrylamide certainly doesn't help.

Perhaps the FDA should review the report developed by the ELF that listed just how far various chip brands exceeded the state's required warning levels for acrylamide. The offenders include:

Cape Cod Robust Russet: 910 times
Kettle Chips (lightly salted): 505 times
Kettle Chips (honey dijon): 495 times
Pringles Snack Stacks (pizza-flavored): 170 times
Lay's Baked: 150 times

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

I suspect nearly everyone reading this enjoys the taste of potato chips. However, they are clearly one of the most toxic processed foods you can eat. Do you really want to trade a few moments of taste pleasure for cancer?

Potato chips are loaded with acrylamide. This is only one of the many side effects that occur when food is highly processed; for instance, using high temperatures to cook foods can contribute to the formation of carcinogenic substances. Another similar example occurs when meats are cooked at high temperatures. In this case, heterocyclic amines can be formed.

Ideally, you should consume foods that are minimally processed to avoid these types of toxic byproducts. I assure you that there are many others, most of which have yet to be discovered. Acrylamides have only been known for a few years and many experts discounted them when they were first discovered.

In the best case, over half of your foods should be uncooked and eaten in the raw state. My diet is typically about 80 percent to 90 percent raw foods, and I find it is one of the major ways that I am able to remain healthy and avoid all sorts of health problems and challenges.

It may take you awhile to have more than 50 percent of your diet raw but start by throwing out the obvious and well-known processed foods that there is absolutely no excuse to consume:

Doughnuts
French fries and potato chips
All Sodas

Enoki Mushroom - Prevents Cancer

2008-05-02T23:10:00.000-07:00

Golden-needle-mushroom (Jin-Gen-Goo) sucessfully kills 95% of cancer cells
(Taiwan Report)

Research done by Singapore U shows that eating this mushroom can destroy
95% of cancer cells in our body by boosting our immune system.

Professor Phan Hwai Chong of Yang Ming Research Centre in Taiwan told
Reporter that consuming this kind of mushroom, one of the ingredients in
the mushroom can trigger the multiplication of our healthy "defensive"
cells. By out-numbering the cancer cells, healthy cells help eradicate
cancer cells.

American scientists have since run tests on this particular type of
mushroom extract with blood, done outside human body . Results show that
mushroom extract is able to destroy cancer cells. According to Taiwan
professor, since healthy "fighting" cells can be multiplied to tens &
thousands of times, it can either be used as drip or just by eating
mushroom.

The mushroom is most frequently taken with steam boat. Cooking time should
be less than 3 minutes, or the healing property would greatly diminish.

Banana

2008-05-02T22:50:00.000-07:00

Bananas... This is very interesting.
After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again -

Bananas. Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we nee d to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking: Bananas can also help pe ople trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in 'The New England Journal of Medicine, 'eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.

So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'

Warm Water & Your Heart

2008-05-02T22:46:00.000-07:00

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attacks .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
C ommon Symptoms Of Heart Attack...
A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting . Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line ..
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

There Is An Alternative Way for Cancer

2008-05-01T06:43:00.001-07:00

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body.These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar, is a cancer-feeder.

By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. ( THE WEST MADE US 2 CHANGE FROM SEA 2 WHITE IODISED SALT )

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus .

By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.

A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful,especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.

Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water- best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor ssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins,minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind,body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkinshas recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at WalterReedArmyMedicalCenteras well. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic! . Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto,
Wellness Program Manager at CastleHospitalwas on a TV program to explain this health hazard.

He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat.

He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

Instead, he recommends using glass, such as CorningWare, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food.

You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is
in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, CorningWare, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Get Relief Now! 7 Fast-Acting Stress Busters

2008-05-01T06:10:00.000-07:00

If you've been around for a few years, you know how hard it can be to even think about improving your life with a world of stress surrounding you.

When you're in a state of tension or stress, problems seem overwhelming, your ability to focus vanishes, and getting motivated is out of the question. Fortunately, there is a solution.

By putting just a handful of simple tips and tricks to work, you can free yourself from the web of stress and return to a state of mind that is ready to take on any challenge!

1. Get It In Writing
One of the most common causes of stress is trying to keep a hundred and one tasks in mind simultaneously. Not only does this keep your mind racing at all hours, it also makes it more likely that an item or two may fall through the cracks - a stress-causing situation.

To overcome this obstacle, get your thoughts out of your head and write them down on paper. Once they're in ink, you'll no longer be forced to be a walking filing cabinet and you'll be assured that nothing will be overlooked.

2. Break It Down
Taking on any task or project all at once is enough to make even the most calm individuals stressed out of their minds. It is far too easy to become overwhelmed by tackling a problem from all angles in a single glance. Instead, break things down into bite-sized chunks.

If you have to clean the house, don't think about cleaning the 'entire' house. Break the task down into rooms or areas and think of nothing else until you complete that chunk of space. Need to help improve your children's grades? Don't tackle their entire education at once. Focus on the next test for the next class.

All change is a result of small steps taken in the same general direction - super small steps. Keep this in mind the next time you come up against a potentially stressful problem or challenge.

3. Get Enough Rest
Nothing makes matters worse than a lack of rest. It may be common to cut down on the number of sleeping hours you get each night with so much to do and so little time in which to do it, but the outcome is always the same.

Instead of getting more accomplished, you're ineffective and irritable, not to mention twice as likely to become stressed out.

When the time for bed rolls around, stop what you're doing and get the sleep you need. You can then return to the task the next day with renewed energy and stress-free focus.

4. Think Here and Now
You can only do one thing at a time. No matter how big your to-do list may be, you can't do a thing about items ten, eleven, or twelve until one through nine are taken care of. And you can't do a thing about item two until the first step it accomplished.

This is fantastic, stress-releasing news. There is no need to worry your mind with what you have to do next because you can't do anything about it. You can only do something about the here and now, the one thing in front of you.

The rest of your tasks and responsibilities will get their chance for action, but until that time comes, focus only on the one thing in front of you.

5. Delegate
While some initially get a sense of strength from taking everything on their own shoulders, the pride they began with is soon replaced with stress and frustration.

You don't have to do it all by yourself. Too much to do at home? Get your kids or spouse to lend a hand. Projects at work piling up? Ask a colleague to pitch in. With a team behind you, you'll accomplish more and experience the energy-draining stress less.

6. Laugh!
Laughter is not only the best medicine, it's also the best stress reliever. When things get to be too much, head to a guaranteed outlet of humor and fun.

Call a friend who always has a great story to share, spend a few minutes at a joke-of-the day Web site, or simply make yourself laugh out loud. When the stress is replaced with laughter, you can return to the task at hand in a brand new state of mind.

7. Give Your Brain a Break
For many people, the problems at the office follow them right out the door and into their homes. The cell phone is still screaming and the deadlines to come are still in mind and creating an ever-building tension.

Nothing good can come of bringing your work problems home with you, so it's time to make a new rule for yourself. The moment you leave work, leave work. Tell yourself that you'll get to it all tomorrow, but the night is time for your mind to take a little break from the daily grind.

With these simple tips put to use, you can break free from the stress of daily living and re-ignite the motivation you need to enjoy your life!

The Danger Of Eating Chicken Wings Frequently

2008-05-01T06:06:00.000-07:00

Chicken Wings - Its Dangerous!

Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies, especially; a true story...!

A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an
operation to remove the cyst. The cyst removed was filled with a dark
colored blood. She thought that she would be recovered after the surgery
but! she was terribly wrong.

A relapse occurred just a few months later. Distressed, she rushed down to
her gynecologist for a consultation.

During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled her.
He ask if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she replied yes
wondering as to how, he knew of her eating habits.

You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with
steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this
society can be met. This need is none other than the need for food.

Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the
neck or the wings. Therefore, it is in these places that the highest
concentration of steroids exists. These steroids have terrifying effects on
the body as it accelerates growth. It has an even more dangerous effect in
the presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone to the
growth of a cyst in the womb. Therefore, I advise the people out there to
watch their diets and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!

People, who receive this email, please forward it to your friends and loved
ones. I am sure no one wants to see him or her suffer!

Carb Addicts Diet

In the modern world where people go out to offices for long hours, and increasing amount of competition and rising stress of work, the intake of junk foods have become tenfold! And these so called junk foods are basically made up of Carbohydrates that make the human body fat prone and over weight! This is the real devil…Carbohydrate! And this food habit is called Carb Addictions. But for every devil there is a God, so for all these junk foods, something also exists…The Carb Addicts Diet!

The basic idea in the Carb Addicts Diet is to control the heavy intake of carbohydrate and addiction towards it, resulting in an effective weigh loss and subsequent weight control. The process may seem a bit weird, but hey all great things look weird in the beginning! So did Genesis…and Carb Addicts Diet. Looking down to the Carb Addicts Diet plan, it has to be discussed meal wise, which is as a person proceeds in the day along with his meals.

Starting at breakfast the Carb Addicts Diet suggests complete abstinence of carbs, and this is also observed in case of lunch too! The meals comprise only some proteins and starch less carbs. The dinner, at last, would consist of some proteins, some starch less vegetables and some carbs …however all three in equal proportions only. None of them in excess of another, then the Carb Addicts Diet would not do any help.

However many expert people believe that the Carb Addicts Diet is not at all a good one for weight loss plan. This why many health or dietary organizations do not recommend the Carb Addicts Diet, also the diet is also not a suitable one to be followed in a long term basis. Cutting the carbs is not a great idea in a long-term process, as the body would not receive all the nutrients it need in that manner.

Yet, the users of Carb Addicts Diet have accepted the effectiveness of the diet plan, but there are no written proofs to support this! But the Carb Addicts Diet continue to make its way in a sublime manner into the hearts of the city dwellers and someday would get its true respect.

Negative Calorie Diet

2008-05-01T06:04:00.001-07:00

This is a hard diet plan to plan and accomplish. Even if you want to, it has to be thought about and this can take a bit of time to set up a negative calorie diet plan. A negative diet plan is one that provides less food calories than what you need to digest them. If you find this first part confusing, then this diet is going to be frustrating. This is one big disadvantage to the negative calorie diet plan.Some foods allowable in this plan are broccoli, apples, beets, asparagus and cauliflower to name a few. These are not any negative foods, because there is know such thing as a negative calorie food. But there are foods outlined in the negative diet plan. The diet itself is not a realistic diet because these foods are healthy and do not help you lose weight.

Basic calories do not burn calories. The only way to burn calories is to exercise and take in the recommended daily calories needed. So with this in mind, you can choose this plan if you feel this will be a positive diet plan for you or whether it will be a negative one. You will find out that the way to burns calories is to exercise, not eat foods that add calories instead of burning them.

You don’t want to be fooled into thinking you are burning calories by eating such foods when in turn these foods are adding calories to your diet. This will add weight gain if you do not participate in an exercise routine. There is no such evidence of a negative food to burn bad calories. It is a myth that cannot be substantiated by anyone. This will cause concern when you are considering a negative calorie diet plan.

Fruits and vegetables do contain calories, but they are considered healthy calories verses junk foods that produce negative calories. So if you get rid of the bad calories and just eat the good calorie foods, you will stay healthy. Losing weight will need to include exercise and proper eating habits.

So is the negative calorie diet plan a reality, I don’t believe so. I have found no information to back up a positive result. The information provided has not proved that there is such a diet like this that contributes to weight loss. Be leery of plans that say you can lose weight by eating negative calorie foods, as this has not been proven.

With this said, you may be wondering what types of Negative Calorie Diet foods I am referring to.
Below you will find such a list:

Vegetables

* Asparagus
* Beet
* Broccoli
* Green Cabbage
* Carrot
* Cauliflower
* Celeriac also know as celery root
* Celery
* Chicory
* Chili Peppers
* Cucumber
* Dandelion
* Endive
* Garden Cress
* Garlic
* Green Beans
* Lettuce
* Onion
* Papaya
* Radishes
* Spinach
* Turnip
* Zucchini

Fruits

* Apple
* Blueberry
* Cantaloupe
* Cranberry
* Grape Fruit
* Honey Dew Melon
* Lemon
* Mango
* Lime
* Orange
* Peach
* Pineapple
* Rasberry
* Strawberry
* Watermelon

Blood Test Diet

2008-05-01T06:03:00.002-07:00

The blood test diet is considered to be totally unproven by facts. There has been no guaranty that a blood test can tell what foods you should or should not eat unless it is for high cholesterol or other health related issues. But this test is not saying they are checking for this. The blood test diet states that they can tell you what foods your body can tolerate and not tolerate. Then you are supplied with a list of foods you can eat to lose weight.The theory behind this test is that eating low carbohydrates can help you lose weight.

So you are encouraged to eat foods that can be digested easily. The factors considered when planning your diet plan are weight, height, age and your sex. They also need to consider genetics as part of developing a weight loss plan for you.

The blood test diet is only geared towards one or two days for one time monthly. This is a very hard diet plan to understand. I see absolutely no possible gains from this type of diet plan. I believe there are other healthy diets that are less expensive and can provide weight reduction without so much confusion and controversy.

Grapefruit Diet

2008-05-01T06:03:00.001-07:00

There was a study done on this type of diet plan and proved that people who eat a grapefruit or drink the juice can lose about three to five pounds in two to three months. This is not a lot of weight loss, if you need to lose a substantial amount of weight. It could cause discouragement because you are not seeing any significant weight loss.The grapefruit diet allows for about 1200 calories a day with a grapefruit juice or a grapefruit at each meal. But there are no research results for or against this type of dieting. It can be unhealthy because you are not getting the recommended daily calorie intake. There are not any side effects to this diet plan which is probably the only real positive thing about the grapefruit diet plan.

There has been a huge amount of controversy about the grapefruit diet due to the fact that nothing has ever been proven that grapefruit as any special weight loss effect. It is more of a way to may you a little fuller before your regular meal and cuts down on your food intake and reduces calorie intake. Also grapefruit is a good fruit for anyone to eat.

In order to lose weight with this type of diet plan, you need to be exercising in order to lose weight, but you will be risking your health if you exercise and do not have an adequate calorie intake. The grapefruit diet plan has not had many positive things said about the plan. There seems to be more myths than anything with this diet.

Also, mentioned as being related to the grapefruit diet is the grapefruit capsule which has absolutely no value at all. You cannot get a fresh grapefruit in a pill. This makes it totally useless to spend money on a grapefruit pill when it is not doing anything at all for you. If you consider this diet plan, you will need to know and keep in mind that you are not going to lose any amount of weight that will make a difference in your appearance.

There are probably other diet plans that use the grapefruit diet plan in association with another form of dieting plan also. Will this work or not, will be entirely up to the individual. There is to much negative publicity about the grapefruit diet since it was first introduced some eighty years ago.

Low Calorie Diet

2008-05-01T06:02:00.002-07:00

hese diets are not for everyone. If you have a large amount of weight to lose this can be a very good diet for you. It can be used as a short term diet plan and should be done under a doctor’s care if your weight is a major health concern. Very low calorie diet plans call for a very low intake of calories. This may consist of a special formulated replacement substitute, rather than food.There may be some side effects such as tiredness, headaches and diarrhea when first starting this type of diet plan until your body gets accustom to the change in feeding habits. Once you acquire weight loss, which could take up to fourteen or more weeks, you can wean yourself to a chewable food. This has to be slow, as not to upset your body, which has been on a very low calorie diet.

There can be one health risk that requires monitoring by a doctor and that could be gallbladder problems. Doctors will perform blood work ups and monitor your health condition through out a very low calorie diet. It is not recommended for anyone to take on this type of diet plan without supervision.

The very low calorie diet plan has been accredited for weight loss and improving blood pressure and cholesterol. There are also many health reasons not to use this type of diet which can be ulcers, liver problems and cancer to name a few of the health concerns. The very low calorie diet is said to be safe and has positive results, but you still need some form of exercise, even if it is moderate.

The diet works by in “layman terms”, by making the body think it is starving, this slows your metabolism and the body breaks down protein in order for your body to get the needed carbohydrates. The weight you lose in this type of diet is about half fat and half lean tissue. This is the reason to be under a doctor’s care in order to monitor bone mass and lean tissue against fat loss.

Once you return to a low calorie diet plan after a very low calorie diet plan, you need to count calories and only take in the calories that you will be able to burn off. The downfall to a very low calorie diet plan is you are susceptible to weight gain if you don’t watch what you eat after the diet has ended.

8 Minutes Morning Review

2008-05-01T06:02:00.001-07:00

The 8 minutes in the morning plan allows for you to just do some simple exercises in the morning before starting the day. It reports that you can lose two pounds a week if you follow the routine and only take in the right amount of calories needed per day. The plan doesn’t allow for what they call emotional eating, which could mean eating when you’re upset or just feeling bored and need something to eat.This program allows you to take Sundays off and just do some small routines during the other six days.

It has you working different parts of your body on different days. This is done to build lean muscle. It isn’t stressing anything about eating and what to eat which is important when doing such a routine.You need the proper foods and amounts in order to build lean muscles. This program adheres to healthy choices and not the calories. There are professionals that will disagree with this type of plan due to a lack of having enough calories to build lean muscle. Without the proper calorie intake you will have a much harder time producing enough energy needed to work your muscles and achieve lean muscle. There are many gyms and personal trainers that say that you need more calories for different types of workouts.

This program does supply you with a book in order to get started eating healthy and exercising different areas of your body. If you feel comfortable with the 8 minutes in the morning plan, then this will be the plan for you. Keeping in mind that calorie intake is important to any workout routine. Checking out the routines described in this book with other workout plans could be one way to find out if they are right for you. I don’t feel this plan is adequate for everyone due to the fact that everyone is different.

Individual plans that are tailored to your needs can be much more beneficial to your overall diet plan. You will need to explore all the different options available and then choose the plan that will be right for you. You may not be a person who can get out of bed and a little while later, start an exercise routine. If you are, that is great, but if you are not, you will have a hard time staying dedicated to this particular plan.

7 Day Diet

2008-05-01T06:01:00.000-07:00

The 7 day diet is a little bit different. On the first day of your diet plan you will be told to eat as much fruit as want. But it doesn’t allow you to eat bananas. When you come to day two, the plan has you eating all the vegetables you want except peas and corn. Now this also includes a baked potato and butter.Now with the third day, it has you eating all the vegetables and fruits except for the potato and no bananas. With the fourth day you should drink skim milk about eight glasses and are suppose to now eat eight bananas. When you get to day five you need to have twelve ounces of beef and six tomatoes with sixty-four ounces of water.On day six you can eat all the beef and vegetables you want, but still you can’t eat a potato. The last day you will eat all the vegetables you want and all the brown rice you want. Drink fruit juices that are unsweetened. There is also a soup you can eat all week long that has onion, celery, peepers, tomatoes and cabbage in it.

Now there are many variations to the 7 day diet, but the foods are similar with different portion sizes. I am not sure exactly how this diet can help you lose weight. I see this as a shock to your metabolism and digestive track. There really isn’t any special weight loss prediction for this plan, leaving one to believe it may not be an ideal weight loss program.

This 7 day diet is low in calories and could be bad for your health as well as not providing any structured weight loss benefits. This is definitely a weight loss plan that has many flaws which leads you to say no to this type of eating plan. This program also allows you to drink a diet soda, which will supply caffeine to an under nourished body due to a lack of calorie intake. This makes a very unhealthy statement and could be asking for health problems relating to this type of consumption.

It is not the healthiest diet and you should think twice before trying the 7 day diet. The result from a more suitable diet program is going to be of more value to you and your total outlook. Always remember to find a diet that is not only healthy, but one you can stay with the entire time.

6 Week Body Makeover Review

2008-05-01T06:00:00.000-07:00

You however will be able to enhance it, by adding meals that are approved by the diet plan.

One downfall to this plan is you will not be able to eat the way you used to before the 6 week body makeover. This may cause some stress for people who are looking for quick and easy way to lose weight before going back to their regular lifestyle before staring the diet plan. Once you complete your weight loss program, you still have to continue with healthy eating and exercise.

3 Day Diet

2008-04-30T09:41:00.000-07:00

Now this diet plan must have been developed by an ice cream lover. Now I am all for ice cream, but this diet insists that you eat one cup of ice cream at dinner time, and one half cup the other two days. It does tell you to use a specific brand. The main thing the 3 day diet says is you will lose up to forty pounds in a month if you follow the menu for three days and then resume eating the way you did before.This doesn’t sound like a diet that is capable of contributing to weight loss. The menu on the first day starts with breakfast then on to lunch and then dinner. Now this diet says you have to eat exactly what it says. This won’t be a problem if you like cantaloupe, beets, tuna, broccoli, eggs, crackers, cheese bananas, apples, toast and coffee. You have to drink plenty of water during the day also.

This 3 day diet plan says you will lose ten pounds in three days if you follow this for three days before resuming a normal eating habit. Then after four days, go back to the 3 day diet program again for another ten pound weight loss. Repeat this for one month and it says you will lose up to forty pounds.

I don’t think you’ll find yourself starving with this plan, but a streak or hamburger will be out of the question for three days. When you go back to a normal eating routine, you should not over indulge yourself. Now this plan doesn’t say anything about exercise but you may need to tone your body a little after losing that amount of weight.

There is as much negativity to this diet as well as positive comments. To think that a diet of this type could account for ten pounds of weight loss a week, by dieting three days and normal eating for four days is a little hard to believe. On the other hand if the foods are healthy enough to speed up your metabolism, it may just be possible to achieve success.

Because everyone is different, it may work for some people and it may not work for others. The decision can only be made if you decide to try the 3 day diet plan and see result s or not. The choice whether you can accomplish this or not will come from you.

Snoring Problem

2008-04-16T08:24:00.000-07:00

If you snore regularly, it is time to seriously consider an effective method that will help ease your breathing. According to research study undertaken by Geoge Institure for International Health in Sydney, Australia, regular snoring is linked to higher risks of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), which doubles the chances of stroke and increased risks of high blood pressure and diabetes.
Apnea is found more pronounced among obese and those leading rather sedentary lifestyle. In severe instances, the problem could also lead to a sudden heart attack or death in sleep.

Regular snoring may indicate symptoms of OSA, and mostly occurs in older adults above 40 years of age. In these cases, breathing is obstructed for a few minutes. When breathing ceases briefly like that, the brain reacts by pulling the sleeper out of deep sleep and puts him into lighter sleep. That way, he gets no sleep quality even if he sleeps for eight hours straight. As the result, they can suffer from daytime fatigue.

The British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association has conducted a research and found 15 million who snores in the UK and an overwhelming 97% of spouses who were disturbed by their regularly snoring. The study also found that the majority of their partners averaged only three to five hour's sleep per night! As the result of sleep deprivation, they suffered headaches, nausea, gastro-intestinal problems, irritability and even heart palpitations.

Here's how to check if you are a mouth snorer by trying out the following exercise :

Open your mouth and make a snoring noise, then close your mouth and try to make the same noise. If you can only snore with your mouth open or snoring is reduced when you close your mouth, chances are that you are a mouth snorer.

To reduce or eliminate the snoring, close your mouth and breathe with your nose during sleep. But as you grow older, it becomes inevitable that face and neck muscles become weaker, causing your mouth to naturally drop open when you sleep.

Be brave to consult to your doctor if you are facing snoring problem before snoring problem getting worst and cause the disturbe to your sleep hours. Stop the snoring problem from Today and onward ...live in a healthy lifestyle without snoring...

Improve your own sleep and your partner's...be a successful person and own a healthy lifestyle.
