Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Low carb dieting has become fashionable in recent years especially with the publication of the Atkins diet. Losing weight is a goal for so many people and everybody is looking for the quick and easy way to lose weight. Some people do not need to lose weight at all but still get stressed over a couple of pounds. Others need to lose for medical reasons and may have one hundred pounds or more that they want to shed.

A large majority of North Americans desire to lose weight. Most are looking for the fastest and easiest wasy to acheive this desire. Weight loss ranges from 5 to 200 pounds and more. Low carb dieting has become the “trend” the weight loss of choice in recent years. For many people this is a daunting task the more people want to lose weight the more weight they need to lose. They often try many different and often dangerous ways, such as diet pills, surgery and total denial of certain foods groups or food entirely.

There are many different diets out there including low carbohydrate diets and the truth is that most of them will achieve weight loss if they are followed correctly. This does not mean always doing what the diet says every moment of every day. What is more important is how you deal with the inevitable occasion when you eat too much or feast on foods that are not on the plan. If you can write this off and return to the plan without giving yourself a hard time, you are likely to succeed. Everybody has those days – the important thing is to let them go and accept them as just another step on the road to permanent weight loss.

To be successful with this diet, you need to understand food groups, which ones to eat and which ones to avoid. Carbohydrates come in many forms, breads, rice, pasta, potatoes, flour, sugar the list goes on. Fruit is often not allowed due to the sugar content. Meal planning is simple with the low carb diets. There are protein shakes and bars on the market that can be purchased as meal replacements, just need to make sure the protein content is high and the carb content is low.

Most criticism of low carbohydrate dieting is based on the fact that the dieters will get most of their daily calories from meat, dairy and other high fat products. This can lead to high cholesterol and other problems related to a high intake of saturated fats. Medical advice is advised before starting this type of diet. Sometimes weight loss is good in the early stages but people cannot handle the restrictions in the longer term and start to deviate from the diet.

One of the problems that many people have with low carb dieting is the elimination of bread and pasta. No more toast, spaghetti or pizza! Many of the foods that are quickest to prepare are based around carbohydrates – burgers in their buns, fries, sandwiches, pasta and sauce. Beer and other alcoholic drinks are high in carbs too. It is true that alcohol is generally restricted on any diet, because it is high in calories and very low in nutritional value, but low carb diets put particular emphasis on this. Still there are many foods that can be enjoyed on a low carb diet. If you are fond of meat you will relish the opportunity to consume beef, chicken and other animal products. The popularity of these diets is clear from the length of time that they stay on the bestseller lists. It is just a matter of what suits you. Low carb dieting works for many people.

Body cleansing along side a low carb diet will put your weight loss. If you do a good body cleanse at least once a month ( weekly is ideal ) will definetely help in losing excess fat and keeping it off.

Goji Berries Are Incredible but Shop Carefully

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

The issue of what is wild-crafted Tibetan Goji Berry (Lycum Eleagnus Barbarum) seems to plague marketers of this delicious fruit. There are blatant misrepresentations of its origins by sales efforts wanting to cash in on the fruits pristine regional origins while distancing themselves from the polluted background of the Chinese variety called Wolfberry (Chinese Lycee or Lycium Barbarum), which most provider’s source as Goji.

The wild-craft Tibetan variety has been harvested for thousands of years as a medicinal food by Tibetan doctors and eaten freely as a wild fruit. Many generations ago Goji seeds were taken to China , cultivated, and called Wolfberry. The Chinese Wolfberry is suspect if it does not possess organic certification because of the lack of regulation regarding pesticides, herbicides, and DDT over the years in Chinese farming practices. It is a botanical given that soils with a history of repeat planting often suffer from mineral depletion, which can affect the nutrient quality of the produce, even in somewhat, similar climatic conditions.

Goji Berries are a unique food that are further enhanced by being grown in in the natural pristine soils and air of Tibet. The environment of Tibet creates an almost optimal natural growing condition for wild-crafted goji berries and helps enhance their exceptional nutritional value. Goji Berries from Tibet have a very high antioxidant levels along with being a great source for vitamins, minerals and polysaccharides. As a result Goji Berries are something very beneficial you can incorporate into your life.

Berries grown in China are Wolfberries not Goji Berries. In terms of comparing the two, Goji Berries are much more nutritionally dense than Wolfberries. One major example in the differences between Goji Berries and Wolfberries is their make up in terms of amino acids and trace minerals. Goji Berries may cost a little more than Wolfberries, but there are good reasons for that price difference and Goji Berries represent the better nutrition and better value.

The nutritional density, amount of polysaccharides, and antioxidant levels(ORAC units) in Tibetan Goji Berries are all higher than in Chinese Wolfberries. The amounts of those attributes of Tibetan Goji Berries have been all confirmed by certified USDA registered laboratory reports.

Are you sure you are buying Goji Berries and not Wolfberries? There are over 40 different varieties of Goji Berries and Wolfberries and they are not created equal.

Go Fish! Omega Fatty Acids

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Let me start by telling you about lysi. In Iceland where I grew up, this is what I had to drink. It is the fat from the liver of fish. Fortunately, today it is not necessary to drink this to get the benefit.

All I knew is that it was somehow beneficial to me and my health. As an adult, I developed an insatiable curiosity about natural health remedies. So, in addition to my other research, I decided to research the benefits of the fish fat.

Omega Fatty Acids are essential but our bodies cannot produce them. For that reason, we have to supply our bodies with this through other means such as food.

The best place to get this is in fish such as salmon, tuna or sardines. But, because of the mercury content and other toxins, this needs to be in limited quantities. Two servings per week at most.

Sunflower seeds, soybeans, olive oil and avacados also contain omega fatty acids. There are a number of foods that have the fatty acids added to them in manufacturing such as some cereals, orange juice and baby food.

Getting omega fatty acids through food is considered the best way to get it. You may however want to consult with your doctor or nutritionist to verify just how much you need.

If your diet isn’t providing you with a sufficient amount of fatty acids, supplements can be taken. You will want to research the brand of course as they are not regulated.

Why is all of this really that important? Research proves that developing babies require this.

Research even shows that some heart related problems can be reduced by regular intake of omega fatty acids. Blood pressure can also benefit from this.

Rheumatoid arthritis, depression and anxiety disorders are problems that can be assisted with omega fatty acids.

While I always encourage a well balanced diet, if weight loss is your goal, I strongly recommend my Weight Loss Breeze Program.

High Protein Low Carb Foods – Making The Right Choices

Friday, January 30th, 2009

When it comes time to eat, many people pick whatever is handiest or tastes best. Most people pay little attention to the quality of their food choices. When given an option among low carb and high protein foods, or low protein and high carb foods, people tend to select foods that are higher in carbs since they often are more palatable or simply easier to prepare. However, high protein low carb foods are generally healthier.

The best way to achieve a healthy body is to ensure that your diet contains mostly high protein low carb foods. You will need to greatly reduce the amount of carbohydrates from your diet by eliminating “bad” carbs and adding “good” carbs from fresh fruits and vegetables. You will also want to add more protein to your diet. By doing this, you will have a healthy, balanced diet.

Making the wrong food choices can wear you down, leaving you feeling tired and lethargic even when you’ve had plenty of rest. High protein low carb foods will give you the balance you need and the sustained energy to do the things you enjoy.

If you have decided you want to adjust your diet to include more protein and less carbohydrate, the very first thing you should do is find out which foods can provide you with more protein. It is not just about eating more meat. Nuts are a good source of protein as well. And of course there are always other legumes, fish and beans.

The foods that have good carbohydrates and low amount of bad carbohydrates are low carb foods. Eating most fruits and vegetables will provide the necessary amounts of good carbs.

An added benefit of a high protein, low carb and low fat diet is that it will actually help you keep your blood sugar levels on an even keel. In fact, this combination is so effective that it is often prescribed to diabetics! High protein low carb foods help them to keep their insulin and blood sugar levels where they need to be for overall good health. That is not just true for diabetics. When we have a healthy balance in nutrition, we also have a healthy balance in insulin and blood sugar. This promotes a sense of well-being. So it is safe to say that following a diet that is high in protein, low in carbohydrates and low in fat will help anyone to feel better.

Of course, when you are modifying your diet to incorporate high protein low carb foods, you will want to make your changes in increments. It is never a good idea to make a sudden, dramatic change in your diet. You can acclimate your body to your new way of eating by making small substitutions. Reduce your carbohydrate intake a little bit at a time while simultaneously increasing your protein intake. When you have reached your goal of balance, you will not really feel as if you are on a diet. You will just know you are eating better and feeling better.

How the World’s Healthiest People Live Life

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Who is the best person to ask about the secret to staying young? Ask the experts- they can provide you with good advice that has been proven through years of experience.

It is known, that Okinawa is the place where we find the healthiest people in the world. How can we verify this? Okinawa happens to have a good number of people in their population that has reached the age of 100 and above as compared to any other country in the world. Their statistics are actually three times more than that of Americans. Heart disease is also a very rare condition in Okinawa as compared to that of the U.S. Other health problems are also very rare with a lower incidence rate of conditions like breast and prostate cancer, colon and ovarian cancer, and hip fractures.

Would you be interested to know their secret to a healthy and much longer life? It can be very simple and really easy.

Secret #1 is to be optimistic. Okinawans do not worry that much. They just take things as they are and wait for circumstances to work things out for them. They prefer to live a much calmer and stress free life. When they are at work, they do not put too much pressure on themselves. Things are done at a slow pace ? there is no need to hurry. Experts see this way of live as good for the health.

Secret #2 is developing good interpersonal relationships. Okinawans are often seen hanging out with their family and friends. They often chat, laugh or just offer support when needed. There have been studies that prove that people live healthier lives when they have good interpersonal relationships. They actually have a decreased chance of getting sick.

Secret #3 is a healthy diet. The traditional diet of Okinawans is both simple and wholesome. Their diet is usually composed of fish that is rich in protein and omega-3 oils, also plant foods that are high in vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. One thing that is also noticeable in their diet is that they eat a diet with fewer calories, around 500-1000 calories less per day than what an average American or people from other countries take in. This low calorie and healthy diet helps in reducing the risk of health problems that makes a person overweight and makes them live longer lives.

Secret # 4 is live an active live. Okinawans love to exercise. They take long walks and fix their gardens to exercise. They also love doing tai chi, a form of traditional martial arts.

Secret # 5 is steering clear from bad habits. Cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking is seldom done by the elder generation of Okinawans.

It is however sad to note that there is no healthy and longer future for the next generation of Okinawans. The younger generations have been influenced badly by eating a more commercial diet and even engaging in cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking. It has also been noted that the younger generation have become more obese.

If only the younger generation has continued to follow what the older generation has set as an example, then they would have a better quality of life. To summarize it all, the Okinawans secret to a healthy and longer life is a combination of a positive attitude, good healthy diet, regular exercise, no bad habits of smoking and alcohol drinking, and working at a relaxed paced.

Benefits are physical rejuvenation, increased oxygenation of the blood and brain, protection against mental, emotional, and physical stress, and weight management.

Green superfood supplements like Revitaphi play a crucial role in today’s mineral deficient standard American Diet. Products like these that are the highest in quality without fillers such as lecithin, apple pectin, apple fiber, brown rice germ, barley malt, are a lot like taking a while-food multivitamin. International expert in nutrition and health sciences Gary Null, has commented that these super green food powders are vital because they’re the only way to reverse nutritional deficiencies of the past, to make sure you’re getting enough nutrition for today, and the build your nutritional reserves for tomorrow.

Revitaphi is a stand out product among others because of its special alkalizing blend, over 40 probiotics, and six adaptogenic herbs: Moringa Olifera, Indian Tulsi, Ashwaganda, Gotu Kola, Ginko Biloba, and Ho Shu Wu, also known as Fo-Ti. Adaptogens are natural herbal products that have the ability to increase the body’s resistance to stress, trauma, anxiety and fatigue. They can fill the gaps the body needs. For example, if the body needs more energy, they can provide that energy; on the other hand, if the body is over-stimulated, they can calm it down.

Moringa Olifera is a small shrubby tree that has the ability to grow in harsh environments. The leaves are edible and have 4-6 times as much calcium, 2 times as much magnesium, and 4 times more iron as spinach. It grows throughout the developing world and has already been used by programs to reduce child malnutrition in India.

Indian Tulsi, or Holy Basil, is the second Ayurvedic herb ingredient in Revitaphi and is considered the #1 adaptogen in the whole Ayurvedic medicinal system of 10,000 herbs! Ashwaganda is next and is closely related to the superfood goji berry and can be found throughout the world. It is often referred to as the ginseng of the Ayurvedic system.

Gotu Kola and Ginko Biloba are two amazing brain foods found in Revitaphi. Gotu Kola can nourish the lobes of the brain as well as improve the memory. And Ginko Biloba can do very similar things for us. In fact bi-loba means two lobed. Ginko Biloba is among the last standing member of a type of tree that once dominated the earth. These trees are extremely hardy and can survive to be 1000’s of years old. Revitaphi contains the leaves of the Ginko tree.

Last, Ho Shu Wu, also known as Fo-Ti, is a root herb included in Revitaphi. Highly prized in China, Ho Shu Wu is a de-stressor; it amplifies certain neurotransmitters like neuroepinephrine and dopamine and thus can create a blissful feeling.

There are many different ways you can easily incorporate Revitaphi into your daily diet. You can mix just 1/2 to 1 tablespoon into juice, water, coconut water, or a smoothie. You can sprinkle it on top of salads or soups, or you can create a salad dressing with it by blending it with avocado and/or oil, lemon juice, agave nectar, and some sea salt. Revitaphi can be stored at room temperature.
