The Power Of Phytochemicals - 12 Foods You Should Have In Your Diet Now

What if I were to tell you that by simply eating certain foods you could decrease or completely prevent your risk of developing certain diseases? Truth be told- it is possible. By consuming a diet high in certain nutrients called, phytochemicals, you can decrease the likelihood of developing these diseases, plus feed your body with excellent nutrition. Phyto is derived from the ancient Greek word for "plant", and phytochemicals are substances present within the plants that react and interact in complex ways within the body to prevent certain diseases and boost overall health.

Minerals - A Key to Good Health! Natural Sources of Minerals in the Diet

We hear so much about vitamins and antioxidants these days, I think that many people don't realize how very important minerals are in your diet, and also how many of our diets are severely lacking in minerals today. Minerals are catalysts for many reactions that take place in our bodies, for example, they are necessary for proper digestion and metabolism, as well as a nervous system that functions properly. In addition, if you are lacking in certain minerals, your body will not be able to fully utilize many vitamins: B complex vitamins need magnesium, for example, and vitamin A needs zinc.

In addition, minerals fulfill a vital role in keeping your body within the proper acid/alkaline balance. Your 1st morning urine pH should fall between 6.4 and 7.0. If you have the correct level of minerals, your pH will fall within this range, and hence help transport nutrients into your cells. This means that if your mineral status is low, you can take all the vitamins in the world, but your body will probably not be using them, instead you will very likely be wasting your money!

Minerals - A Key to Good Health! Natural Sources of Minerals in the Diet

Leafy green vegetables, whole grains and raw dairy can all be good sources of minerals in your diet if they came from fertile, mineral-rich soils or animals who grazed there. However, much of our soil, even where organic foods are grown, is depleted in minerals. Plants can manufacture vitamins, but they cannot make minerals, they must get them from the soils. Even way back in the 1930s, a US Senate document talked about the lack of minerals in our depleted soils, and how that was adversely affecting the American population's health. But at least back then, most people were not eating packaged foods, they were eating real foods made from scratch for the most part. We know that serious mineral deficiencies do result in disease, and that most Americans today have serious mineral deficiencies.

Minerals - A Key to Good Health! Natural Sources of Minerals in the Diet

So what can you do about it?

1) Regularly Search Out Farmers Who Produce Nutritious Foods on Mineral-Replenished Soils

You will have to do some searching to find these products, but not only will your health most likely improve, but foods grown in mineral rich soils taste better! Get to know your local farmers, and find out what they do to keep their soil full of minerals. (Tip: Mineral-rich fruits and vegetables tend to be heavier and denser for their size, and if the soil is good, they will be bug-free. So if you see bugs on your organic salad, that is not just because it was "organic", it means the soil it was grown in was not that good and was most likely missing minerals. In addition, produce grown in healthy soil will also NOT rot, but simply dry out when it gets old.)

2) Replace Your Regular Table Salt with Mineral-Rich Unrefined Sea Salt

Most people don't realize that regular table salt has been heavily refined by a chemical cleaning process, and that this changes the chemical structure of the salt, reducing the number of elements that are naturally found in the salt from 84 to only a couple. This man-made product usually consists of just sodium and chloride, along with some additives, like inorganic iodine in the form of potassium-iodide, and often sugar and aluminum silicate to prevent clumping. However, our body needs those other elements, including trace minerals and natural iodine, in order to be healthy. Some people try to cut back on their salt consumption because of concerns about it raising blood pressure or increasing inflammation. However, this does seem to happen when people consume natural unrefined sea salt. Fish from the ocean will die quickly if placed in a solution of refined (table) salt and water. This sodium chloride is poisonous to them, so it is no wonder that it seems to be harmful to humans as well. However, our bodies need some salt. Blood, sweat and tears all contain salt, and both the skin and the eyes seems to be protected from germs by the anti-bacterial effect of salt. Salt helps with proper digestion and metabolism and also helps to make the heart beat correctly.

3) Help Replenish Your Minerals With Bath Salts

In addition to adding unrefined sea salt to your diet, another way to replenish your body is by bathing in mineral and salt-rich waters. You can either go take a cure at a mineral spa, or go take a beach vacation by the ocean, as people have done for hundreds of years, or use products at home in your bath, such as bath salts from the Dead Sea, which are rich in minerals as well as sodium chloride. Our bodies absorb minerals through our skin, which is why many people swear by mineral bath soaking, whether at a spa or in the comfort of your own home. Mineral-rich salt baths, salt scrubs, rubs and polishes all work to replenish minerals in the body, exfoliate dead skin, stimulate circulation and relieve stress. Look for mineral-rich bath salts from the southern portion of the Dead Sea, which has very concentrated minerals.

4) Seaweed in Your Diet or Bath

Eating seaweed like nori, kelp, bladderwrack, wakame and more in your diet or taking seaweed baths can also help to restore minerals to your body, including iodine. Many types of seaweed have traditionally been eaten by people, including kelp, which tends to bind with toxins in the intestines, rendering them indigestible and carrying them out of the body. The high quantity of seaweed ingested in the macrobiotic diet may be a key to its well known healing qualities. Seaweed is often available in health food stores or online. One good way to use it is to first grind them up into small pieces, and then cook them with rice and/or beans for at least 1 hour, preferably 2, to help make them more digestible. If you are like some people and can't stand the taste of seaweed, you can also look for supplements containing them so you can still get the benefits.

5) Whey Protein Can Boost Minerals in Your Diet

Whey protein contains high levels of minerals, especially if it comes from the right source. Look for a whey protein that is undenatured and comes from raw, pastured milk.

6) Noni Juice is Also High in Minerals

A good noni Juice will come from fruit grown in mineral rich, volcanic soil, and often contains lots of minerals. Many people have reported helping to restore their body's natural pH with the ingestion on a regular basis of a high quality noni Juice. Noni has also been reported to help boost immune function and help to get rid of parasites, infections and depression. Many noni juices out there, however, are diluted with water and/or other juices and also contain toxic preservatives like sodium benzoate, so make sure and look for one that is 100% noni juice or that has been carefully preserved and made into a capsule. If you find a 100% juice product that is potent, it will probably be much more potent than taking a couple capsule, however.

7) Coral Minerals

Coral minerals are minerals found in coral that are already in an ionized form, and hence easy for the body to utilize. You do not have to have a strong digestive system in order to be able to use and properly digest the coral minerals. Coral minerals have been shown to quickly help restore the proper acid/alkaline balance in the body, putting you on the path to better health and causing you to be able to better use other nutrients like vitamins. Many naturopaths recommend that you get your pH up to normal levels before starting on any type of detoxification program, as you also need minerals in order for your body to be able to get rid of the toxins.

In conclusion, we have given you many ways to work on getting your mineral levels back into the normal range naturally. If you have any problems or questions, you may want to consult with a natural health practitioner. Those who have been chronically ill for some time may benefit from taking a mineral test, like the RBC Elements test by Doctor's Data. Ask your health care practitioner to order it for you if you are interested. This tests your various minerals in your Red Blood Cells (RBC) to see if perhaps one or more is significantly lower than the others and may need to be supplemented separately for a short period of time. For the long term, however, we do recommend using the above ways of getting the right minerals into your body for your long-term glowing good health!

Atkins Diet - Everything You Need to Know

There is a diet that carnivores will love. None other than the Atkins diet, which recommends the consumption of meat and fat and limited carbohydrates. It is the diet of the American physician Robert Atkins and is considered quite effective, but of course this does not mean that it doesn't have its drawbacks.

Atkins Diet - Everything You Need to Know

According to Robert Atkins, who is the creator of the diet, carbohydrates and sugar are responsible for weight gain. But when the body does not find carbohydrates "fuel" is directed to the combustion of the fat stored in our body.

Chocolate Diet American

Atkins Diet - Everything You Need to Know

For this reason the Atkins diet suggests that the proteins covering 27% of total energy intake (normal is 15%), fat 68% (normal is 30%) and carbohydrate 5% (normal is 50-55%).

Atkins Diet - Everything You Need to Know

What is allowed in the Atkins diet

Foods rich in protein: meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, vegetables and nuts.
Fats from: meat, fish, poultry, dairy products, oil, nuts and certain vegetables such as avocados.

What carbohydrates are limited in the Atkins diet

Carbohydrates: bread, pasta, cereals, beans, sugar, fruits and
vegetables.

The daily carbohydrate intake should not exceed 20 grams per day, corresponding to a large slice of bread.

How the diet works

The idea of the Atkins diet is to control carbohydrates which leads to rapid weight loss due to consumption of fewer calories, which in turn is due to the reduced appetite for food. In short if you follow the diet of Atkins, you'll burn more calories and get less hungry.

The food we eat is converted into glucose and glucose into energy. When you reduce the carbohydrates in our diet, the liver converts fat (ketones) into glucose, causing what is called "ketosis." This leads to reduce appetite and burn body fat as fuel.

As well as the increased intake of protein and fat it slows the digestive process, making it easier to eat less.

Pros and cons

In favor of the diet appears to definitely promise quick weight loss. Those who follow it closely, could lose up to 4 pounds the first week. Also on the plus it is not too strict or exhaustive nor is it based on deprivation or hunger.

But it also has disadvantages, first and foremost that it is not always consistent results. After discontinuation of the diet you are likely to regain the pounds you lost.

The most important flaw which critics have is that can it have serious effects on our health.

What investigations have shown

Recent study by American scientists compared four popular diets and found that the Atkins diet offers twice the weight loss and greater improvement in blood pressure and cholesterol.

The study is to undermine the theory that is harmful because it drastically limits carbohydrates and allows unlimited amounts of protein and fat, even animal.

"Many professionals in healthcare, including myself, have either rejected the low-carbohydrate diets, or are very wary of them. But it seems to be an effective option for those who are dieting, said Christopher Gardner, head of the study and assistant professor of Preventive Medicine Research Center at Stanford in California.

On the other hand, scientists from the School of Medicine, Mount Sinai in New York found that the protein diets, Atkins-type, cause long term brain damage that could lead to the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

A conclusion reached by experts after testing that was done on mice.

Specifically found that mice who ate frequent meals similar to those recommended by the Atkins diet, the hippocampus region of the brain associated with memory were less developed compared with those fed normally.

Previous research published in the journal Journal of the American Dietetic Association and considered three popular diets: Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet and diet Ornis first link-up with elevated cholesterol levels.

Specifically, the study argues that those who followed the Atkins diet after one month showed an increase in the levels of "bad" cholesterol. In contrast, those engaged in the other two diets (South Beach Diet and Ornish diet plan) saw a decrease of 12% and 17% respectively.

Dark Chocolate Health Benefits

* Acts as an appetite suppressant. Two research studies conducted at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, found 1) that consumption in moderate amounts reduces cravings for salty, sweat, and other foods, and 2) that eating a meal after consuming dark chocolate 2.5 hours previously, the caloric consumption is reduced by 15%. [Check out the website scientistlive.com for more information about their research.]

Dark Chocolate Health Benefits

* Lowers bad cholesterol by up to 10%.

* Can lower blood pressure. According to JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) in August 2003 [The website webmd has a lot of health information.], eating a moderate amount each day can lower blood pressure because elements of the dark chocolate relax the blood vessels, making blood flow more easily.

* Contains many antioxidants. Antioxidants destroy free radicals in the body, protecting the body from aging and other ailments.

* Offers a lower glycemic index. It offers the same glycemic index as oatmeal, so it won't spike your blood sugar and let you crash later.

* Because it stimulates endorphin production and contains serotonin, you simply feel better after eating it. And it contains caffeine and other stimulants, so you're up as well.

Adding dark chocolate to your diet, if done in moderation, can add health benefits to your life. Balance its addition with a decrease in other caloric vices.

And the fact is, that most of the cancer treatments that work well on other forms of cancer often don't work well on lung cancer. Add to that the fact that lung cancer is often not diagnosed until it is far advanced, and it's easy to understand why this disease is so often fatal.

The Dangers In Chocolate

The cocoa bean, of which chocolate is partially made, is loaded with caffeine. This is a good part of the reason why kids who eat a lot of chocolate are so hyper. The caffeine in some chocolate products is actually greater than the caffeine in a cup of coffee or even a can of cola. Chocolate in children is like putting them on speed. One of the biggest causes of ADHD in children is because of chocolate and chocolate based products.

Chocolate Diet American

The Dangers In Chocolate

But caffeine is only part of the problem and really just the tip of the iceberg. If you ever tasted chocolate in its pure form, you probably noticed that it was actually a little on the bitter side. It certainly isn't sweet like the chocolate products that you are used to eating. The reason these products are so sweet is because they are loaded with sugar. It is almost impossible to find a chocolate based product that isn't loaded with sugar, outside of dietetic products, simply because they quite honestly don't taste very good and there wouldn't be as big a market. As a result, the sugar contained in these chocolate products causes a number of problems including diabetes, high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, and way too many illnesses to list here. As a matter of fact, sugar is one of the leading caused of health problems in the United States.

The Dangers In Chocolate

To further add insult to injury, most commercially available chocolate products are loaded with chemicals to keep them fresh. Did you ever look at the expiration date on a package of Ring Dings? Nothing should last that long and still be edible.

So, as much as we all love chocolate (I am an ex addict), it is something that we can all do without. I personally have been chocolate free for 6 years and don't miss it one bit.

Try eliminating it from your diet before it begins to eliminate you.

To YOUR Health,

So, preventing lung cancer is even more important than preventing many other types of cancer simply because the prognosis is often so poor. And, for most victims of this disease, it is entirely preventable - simply by not smoking. Eight out of ten people diagnosed with lung cancer each year are smokers.

Can Lung Cancer Be Prevented?

Six out of ten people who are diagnosed with lung cancer will die within one year. Between seven and eight will die within two years. Treatments are improving, and today there are some long term lung cancer survivors. But, as we focus on better treatments, we cannot lose focus on prevention.

Can Lung Cancer Be Prevented?

Of course the simplest way to prevent lung cancer is not to smoke. But, there are some other things you can do to help reduce your risk of lung cancer, whether or not you smoke.

The first is to eat a healthy diet, rich in fruits and vegetables. Some studies have shown that people who eat a diet lacking in fruits and vegetables have a higher risk of lung cancer than those whose diet offers a wide variety of such foods.

In addition to not smoking, it's important to stay away from others who smoke. Secondhand smoke is just as dangerous as smoking yourself. The American Cancer Society reports that non-smoking spouses of smokers are 30% more likely to get lung cancer than spouses of non-smokers. In addition, exposure to asbestos, arsenic and radon increase your risk of lung cancer.

Add Green Tea to Your Diet

Another little known trick for helping protect your body from many types of disease, including many forms of cancer, is drinking green tea. Green tea has been shown in many studies to be effective at protecting health and preventing disease. This is because green tea is filled with anti-oxidants - some of the most powerful available.

Anti-oxidants are very effective at combating free radicals that are created in our bodies as we process food. The free radicals produced by our bodies damage our cells and our DNA, and eventually lead to disease if we don't combat them. Anti-oxidants, however, combat these free radicals before they can cause damage. If we're getting our fair share of anti-oxidants each day, we're keeping these free radicals under control.

Above I mentioned that scientists believe that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables helps prevent lung cancer. This is also likely due to the fact that fresh fruits and vegetables are good anti-oxidant sources. Some vegetables and fruits are better than others, so for optimum benefit, be sure to include some of the most powerful in your diet on a regular basis.

The best food sources of anti-oxidants include:

o Artichokes

o Asparagus

o Red Beans

o Blueberries

o Pomegranates

o Dark Chocolate

o Tomatoes

And, green tea. One of the most important anti-oxidants is EGCG, which is found in abundance in the Camilla sinensis (tea tree) plant. Green tea is the best form of this anti-oxidant because it's not fermented during processing. Black tea is fermented, which changes some of its anti-oxidant compounds. Black tea is still healthy, but your best anti-oxidant source is green tea.

One study recently reported by the UK Tea Council shines light on green tea's ability to prevent lung cancer. In particular, this study showed that green tea appears to have two major functions that prevent cancer.

Green tea appears to cause apoptosis of abnormal cells. Apoptosis is the orderly process of cell death. Cell death due to apoptosis is good, because it is a process of killing off damaged or unneeded cells. Green tea seems to help the body rid itself of potentially harmful cells by inducing the process of apoptosis.

Green tea also seems to help prevent lung cancer by inhibiting the growth of the abnormal lung cells. So, green tea keeps the cells from growing and spreading until the apoptosis can kills the cells off. These two powers help to rid the body of abnormal cells before they can replicate and cause a problem.

Of course, more research is needed to pinpoint exactly how green tea works, and how we can use it best to prevent lung cancer and many other diseases. However, in the mean time, there's no reason not to make green tea part of your daily life.

Green tea is an absolutely safe beverage to consume. It has no side effects, and even those who are caffeine sensitive can usually tolerate green tea quite well, because its caffeine content is very low compared to coffee and sodas. So, do something good for yourself - drink some green tea!

The new revised food pyramid of what is a supposed to be healthy diet, some breed of high grain, low fat food combination, has been scientifically proven to be a poor choice for hypertensive risk or even if you have high blood pressure already.

Chocolate Diet American

Bringing Down Your High Blood Pressure Naturally

Over a decade ago, in 1998, ground breaking research showed that nearly 2/3 of people who had high blood pressure were also insulin resistant. In other words, high blood sugar and hypertension walk hand in hand.

Bringing Down Your High Blood Pressure Naturally

In that study, they also found that if you were not the type where your blood pressure would drop overnight while you were sleeping, you were also at risk for cardiovascular problems. Eating a high grain diet that converts to sugar in the blood, further increases diabetic risk, and also has the potential to increase blood pressure. If you are the type of person who has hypertension because of your blood sugar levels, then getting your blood sugars normalized will also bring your blood pressure within normal ranges.

Because both blood pressure and blood sugar difficulties can potentially have no symptoms at all, it is a good idea of have both checked regularly after the age of 40. It is interesting to note that there are around 100 drugs that are prescribed for people with hypertension and in the July 2003 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, it was reported that despite the number of drugs available and the current knowledge of hypertension, no real progress has been made to control it in the population. Also in the June 2003 study by the British Medical Association, 97 percent of the people taking hypertensive medication had suffered side effects, strong enough to be deemed significant. That suggests that you have 3 chances out of 100 to have no side effects if you choose to take medication for your hypertension.

There is another way. Lifestyle changes have been shown to normalize blood pressure in around 85 percent of people who have hypertension. The first and biggest strategy is to begin to normalize your weight. Once you begin to adopt healthier eating patterns you can begin to adapt these twelve strategies to beat your high blood pressure.

Begin to walk. Work up slowly so that you can walk for longer and longer distances. You can even work up to power walking where you walk briskly for at least 30 minutes every day. Brisk aerobic exercise increases oxygen levels so that your heart works more efficiently. Keep trying to increase your speed and your distance so that you are increasing your strength and stamina.

Take time to breathe deeply. Sit in a chair with your back straight. Breathe as deeply as you can for five or ten minutes. Stress hormones elevate a kidney enzyme called renin which actually raises blood pressure. By slowly deep breathing and expanding your belly you exhale all the tension out of your body. Adding qi gong, tai chi or yoga to that deep breathing is another great stress buster.

Add more potassium rich foods to your diet. Naturally potassium rich foods include fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, whole grains, meat, poultry and fish. You need to watch the amount of animal protein that you eat because eating too much causes your body acid levels to rise which actually depletes potassium levels. Highly potassium rich foods include, bananas, oranges, apricots, strawberries, avocados, halibut, broccoli, tuna, parsley, spinach, potatoes, squash, Brussels sprouts, crimini mushrooms, kidney beans, eggplant, peas, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, chard, bell peppers, dried prunes, raisins, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage.

It is important to read food labels to reduce sodium intake. By becoming a label reader, you will become more aware of how much salt is in prepared foods. Better yet, buy as little processed food as possible. Among those people with high blood pressure certain demographics are salt sensitive. Because there is no specific test to show which individuals are sensitive to salt it is important to be aware of how much salt you are using and reduce it as much as possible.

Add a half an ounce of dark chocolate that contains at least 70 percent cocoa to your diet. Dark chocolate contains flavanols which add elasticity to blood vessels. More elastic blood vessels can lower blood pressure.

Ask your doctor about adding Coenzyme Q10 to your daily regimen. CoQ10 is an antioxidant that has been shown to lower hypertension and improve energy production.

Add one alcoholic beverage to lower your blood pressure. Studies show that ¼ to ½ a drink per day will reduce blood pressure more than no drink at all. One drink per day has been shown in studies to lower risk of heart disease and is protective of the heart. Any more is detrimental.

Caffeine has been shown in studies to cause hypertension by tightening blood vessels. This can actually accentuate the effects of stress and raise blood pressure. By using decaf coffee, tea and other beverages, you are less likely to have a spike in blood pressure if you become stressed.

Try hibiscus tea. Participants in a study that drank 3 cups of hibiscus tea daily had a significant decrease in hypertension over a six week period. The drop in blood pressure was consistent with results that would have been obtained by using a blood pressure medication. It is the phytochemicals in the hibiscus that are responsible, so look for teas that list hibiscus near the top of the list of ingredients.

If you work more than 41 hours per week you risk adding hypertension to your list of health complaints by 15 percent. People who work overtime a lot are too tired to exercise and eat healthfully. These tough economic times not only add stress to your daily life, they add overtime, too. Try to rest and eat well as often as possible.

If you have hypertension and you are on medications, studies show that you can lower your blood pressure further by breathing deeply and slowly while listening to soothing music for 30 minutes per day.
If you snore loudly, maybe it's time to get it checked out. People who snore loudly, generally have additional sleep apnea. Many apnea sufferers also have high aldosterone counts. Aldosterone is a hormone that can boost blood pressure. Studies show that at least half of all apnea sufferers have elevated blood pressure.

By adopting healthy strategies and lifestyle choices, you can lower your blood pressure while being monitored by your health care professional.

Insofar as national events, there was a cultural rift among the people, while in the international arena, the food rationing of WWII was a thing of the past. In the world of dining, the popular casseroles of the 1950s were passe, and big names like Julia Child and Jacqueline Kennedy introduced elaborate, French-inspired dishes. We also saw the rise of vegetarian and ethnic food movements. On the other side of things, junk food and fast food made their presence known in the world of 1960 dining.

1960 Dining Trends in America

Fine Dining and French Cuisine
In the time of 1960 dining, homemakers began playing with more elaborate, rich dishes such as Swedish meatballs and beef Wellington. At the same time French cuisine became highly popularized largely as a result of Julia Child. The television show of America's best known chef first aired in 1963, when viewers were mesmerized by her displays of such new dishes as omelets and French onion soup.

1960 Dining Trends in America

Vegetarianism
Up until the time around 1960, dining did not include a vegetarian option. The new healthy movement that developed was greatly helped by the efforts of the American entrepreneur, Frieda Caplan, who first introduced much exotic produce to the American market. These include shitake mushrooms, mangoes and most famously, the kiwi, common items today, but virtually unknown at the time.

Ethnic Food
Around this time, ethnic cuisine also began to pique American interest. Japanese steakhouses were first introduced around this time, with their theatrics and hibachi style grills. Benihana, a popular Japanese steakhouse that's still around today, was first opened in 1964. Soul food also was popular at this time, and went along with the widespread soul music of the era. This cuisine originated in the deep South and characterized much of African American cooking. Largely similar to comfort food, soul food dishes included the likes of hush puppies, fried chicken, country fried steak, collard greens and rice pudding.

Junk Food
This is also the time when junk food, like it or not, came into the picture. It was originally aimed at the baby boomers and offered up nutritionally void treats like buffalo wings and fudge cakes. For example, Tang, that sugary powdered orange drink intended for use by the astronauts, was invented during this time.

Barbecues
Another term, "suburban devotion" came to characterize 1960 dining as well. This renewed interest in the home and outdoor entertaining took the form of mixers and barbecues. Theme parties, like Hawaiian luaus, were popular.

Fondue and Flaming Food
Another way Americans spiced up their 1960 dining experience was the introduction of cheese and chocolate fondue, along with flaming foods. Fondue was originally a Swiss innovation, but it quickly became an entrenched part of American culture, as did flaming foods. One dish, steak Diane, was usually cooked tableside, while baked Alaska was a flaming meringue dessert popular at dinner parties. Both dishes lent an air of theatrics to dinnertime.

Chain Restaurants
Now seen everywhere, chain restaurants started popping up en masse in the 1960s, when families started spending their evenings at places like Howard Johnson. Salad bars were also born, while the first Wendy's was created in 1969.

1. A Piece Of Dark Chocolate Will Keep The Doctor Away.

Chocolate Diet American

5 Great Ways To Lower Blood Pressure Quickly

According to recent report in the Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association, eating a small piece of dark chocolate everyday contributed to chemical changes in the body that help dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Several research point to the conclusion that the antioxidant-rich compound found in dark chocolate known as flavonoids, have a healthy effect on blood vessels as well as glucose metabolism.

5 Great Ways To Lower Blood Pressure Quickly

Even better news for chocolate lovers is the fact that dark chocolate contains more flavoniods than any other food; including green tea, red wine, and blueberries. A little dark chocolate is good for you, but a lot of it is not because chocolate is high in calories. Also, to obtain the blood pressure lowering effect of dark chocolate, you need to look for one that has at least 70 percent cocoa content. Dark chocolate is delicious but sometimes, it may be a bit bitter so, you may have to try different brands until you find one that you really like.

2. Potassium: A Magic Mineral.

Potassium is a key nutrient in maintaining the electrolyte balance which regulates heart and muscle contraction. It also plays an important role in maintaining proper fluid exchange. A study conducted at Duke University shows that daily intake of Potassium supplements can significantly reduce high blood pressure. African-Americans showed the biggest drop. Their blood pressure went down almost 20 points, causing the speculation that this sub-group might be particularly sensitive to the blood pressure lowering effects of potassium.

It is recommended that you try to get your potassium from food. Dietary sources of potassium include apple juice, apricots, avocado, bananas, legumes, beets, cantaloupe, carrots, oranges, pears, white and sweet potatoes, raisins, salmon, sardines, watermelon, and winter squash.

3. Water: Nature's Miracle Medicine

When your body is in a state of dehydration, your blood pressure will increase dramatically. In fact chronic dehydration is the cause of chronic high blood pressure. Dr. Bathmanghelidj, the author of You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty, says that when the body is lacking water, it attempts to hold on to the available water supplies by retaining salt. When the body starts to retain water instead of letting it flow normally, blood pressure rises. However, this increased water retention is simply a preventive measure the body uses to protect the vital cells within it from becoming totally dehydrated. Water is one of the most effective ways to lower blood pressure.

Adequate water intake, and a bit of good pure natural salt such as Himalayan Crystal salt, will balance the fluid intake inside and outside the cells. This may sound contradictory to what you havebeen told, but salt is essential for life, we cannot live without it. However, there is a big difference between the common processed salt most people are accustomed to, and pure natural Himalayan salt which contains 85 trace minerals that your body needs. Intake of Himalayan Crystal salt will regulate the water content throughout your body, and promote a healthy PH balance.

Make drinking adequate amounts of water a daily habit. Not only will you be lowering your blood pressure, but a lot of other body functions will improve. You will feel more alert and energetic, less depressed, your skin will glow, and those nagging aches and pain will go away.

4. Breathe Deep For Your Heart

New research indicates slow breathing may lower blood pressure, even if practiced for only a few minutes per day. Take a slow deep breath, expanding the diaphragm, and the abdomen then, exhale even slower making sure you empty all the air from the lungs. The goal is to develop a rhythmic slow, and deep breathing pattern of less than 10 breaths per minute.

At first, you may find it difficult to develop a rhythmic pattern, but as you continue to breath in, and out slowly, you will eventually develop a healthy breathing pattern. Breathing that slowly for a few minutes several times throughout the day is another way to lower blood pressure that many people find very effective.

5. Walking Is Good For You

Many of us live a very sedentary lifestyle. We sit down all day at work and then, we spend our time at home sitting down. Over time, this inactivity can lead to many health complications caused primarily by excess weight. The ongoing day-to-day strain that excess weight puts on the entire cardiovascular system is what causes blood pressure to reach dangerous heights. Exercise plays a key role in lowering high blood pressure; however, many people find it difficult to engage in a regular exercise program because of lack of time. The good news is that you're not required to do prolonged, and strenuous exercise to benefit from it.

A recent study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health revealed that as little as 30 minutes of walking three times a week, even if it was broken into 10-minute walks throughout the day, was enough to have a significant effect on lowering blood pressure, and weight loss.

The above 5 approaches are proven ways to lower blood pressure. However, consistency is the only way to benefit from them long term. Make them part of your daily lifestyle routine for a healthy heart, and normal blood pressure.

The cocoa bean, of which chocolate is partially made, is loaded with caffeine. This is a good part of the reason why kids who eat a lot of chocolate are so hyper. The caffeine in some chocolate products is actually greater than the caffeine in a cup of coffee or even a can of cola. Chocolate in children is like putting them on speed. One of the biggest causes of ADHD in children is because of chocolate and chocolate based products.

Chocolate Diet American

The Dangers In Chocolate

But caffeine is only part of the problem and really just the tip of the iceberg. If you ever tasted chocolate in its pure form, you probably noticed that it was actually a little on the bitter side. It certainly isn't sweet like the chocolate products that you are used to eating. The reason these products are so sweet is because they are loaded with sugar. It is almost impossible to find a chocolate based product that isn't loaded with sugar, outside of dietetic products, simply because they quite honestly don't taste very good and there wouldn't be as big a market. As a result, the sugar contained in these chocolate products causes a number of problems including diabetes, high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, and way too many illnesses to list here. As a matter of fact, sugar is one of the leading caused of health problems in the United States.

The Dangers In Chocolate

To further add insult to injury, most commercially available chocolate products are loaded with chemicals to keep them fresh. Did you ever look at the expiration date on a package of Ring Dings? Nothing should last that long and still be edible.

So, as much as we all love chocolate (I am an ex addict), it is something that we can all do without. I personally have been chocolate free for 6 years and don't miss it one bit.

Try eliminating it from your diet before it begins to eliminate you.

What happens to your body as you age?

Chocolate Diet American

Anti-Aging Diet - How Food Can Keep You Young

Our body consists of millions of sells, as the sells are dying they are being replaced with new ones. The quality of new sells is directly linked to your diet, because to be regenerated properly sells need good nutrition. As we grow older, the process of sell regeneration doesn't as smoothly as before, it is called sell degeneration. When the replacement sells are weaker than original sells. By eating certain anti-aging foods we can help the new sells to be strong and healthy.

Anti-Aging Diet - How Food Can Keep You Young

Foods to avoid in anti-aging diet

First, you should decrease the intake of saturated fats. American Heart Association recommends that fat should not to exceed 30 percent of your total energy. For a real anti-aging nutrition the number is about 10 percent. That means that for protein it is better to consume lean fish rather than meat.

Some anti-aging doctors suggest a completely vegetarian diet. However, it has not been scientifically proved that avoiding meat all together leads to longer and healthier life. However, when you eat meat, go for lean varieties.

And do I even have to mention avoiding junk food? Everybody knows that it is bad for you, but most people keep eating it anyway. If you seriously want to keep nutritious diet, you should restrict yourself from chips and other "empty-calories" stuff.

Saturated fats are not the only thing to avoid. Some studies have shown that foods high in carbohydrates also lead to sell degeneration. These include sugar, chocolate, chips, and pasta and soy products. High concentration of heavy metals in your food also leads to premature aging.

Anti-aging food - what is it?

There are several foods that help with sell regeneration. These are products high in antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids. These are elements known as antioxidants Vitamin A, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-12, Beta carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium and Folic acid.

Here is a list of foods important for anti-aging nutrition:
raw nuts and seeds green leafy vegetables seaweed barley greens olive oil berries

Recently there has been a lot of talk about anti-aging Goji berries and Goji berries juice. These berries grow in Himalaya, and studies have shown that people who live there and consume the berries on regular basis live long and healthy lives. Goji berries and their juice are very high in antioxidants.

You may also need, because pollution in the cities and stress of everyday working life speed up the aging process, so you may need additional nutrients and vitamins to combat it. You can look online for anti-aging supplements to add to your diet. These are vitamin and mineral complexes with high percentage of antioxidants. Alternatively, take a good brand name multivitamin every day.

The most important about anti-aging diet is that you have to be persistent and consume healthy foods every day. Eating nutritious food for several days and then returning to usual fast food lifestyle wouldn't work. And, of course you will have to do some exercise to help your body feel young.
