Diet and Nutrition
How did we cure ourselves of many aches pains and illnesses in
the past?Most of the remedies worked very well, were cheap and
could usually be found in most homes.Did you know that? Drinking
two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost
immediately, without the unpleasant side effects caused by
traditional "pain relievers.
Modern life can be stressful. There are so many concerns that you
have to worry about like work, family, relations, and other
activities.
Meal sizes and frequency are very important. Over the years
people are amazed by how much food I eat at work in a day and
part of this can probably be explained by decent genetics but
more importantly I make sure that I have a higher metabolism by
eating more smaller meals.
What are Glyconutrients? Glyconutrients are eight newly
discovered biologically-active sugars that are responsible for
making up the structure of every body cell. First discovered in
Aloe Vera, Glyconutrients are essential to good health.
While there are many effective ways to get more energy and build
your productivity, I've found it very important to pay attention
to the seasons."But wait a minute," you say.
"It's not what you eat, it's what's eating you that
counts."Before we talk about food, the most important nutrients
we put in our bodies are air and water.
The reason I remember the first time I was served a main-course
salad, easily 15 years ago, is that it was such a revelation.It
was served to a group of us, six or more, in a large shallow
wooden bowl and it was full of all kinds of good things; greens,
chickpeas, nuts, seeds, sliced chicken breast and a dressing
fragrant with fresh tarragon and basil.
Having a large amount of such "visceral fat" is associated with
increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and
diabetes, said Dr. Kerry Stewart, an associate professor of
medicine at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
Archeological records indicate that man has cultivated the olive
tree for about 6,000 years; having been especially popular in the
Isle of Crete (which as you recall, also appeared in the Seven
Countries Study to be the site of the lowest incidence of heart
disease). All oils that we use for eating and cooking contain
"fat" and olive oil is no exception.
Increasing the fiber in your diet has been shown to: reduce your
cholesterol, reduce your hunger, lower your fat absorption,
reduce surges in insulin levels, help with weight loss, lower the
risk of colon cancer, and lower your risk of heart disease. WOW!
Sounds like a miracle cure - where can I get this stuff? The
answer: At your grocery store.
You can spot a juicer a mile off at the supermarket or
greengrocer. Apart from the huge number of carrots and apples
they are loading into their trolley, they also have that slightly
smug, see-how-healthy-I-am look about them.
Beans. Legumes.
"It is a bone-deep change you are going into, my beloved,"
counsels Grandmother Growth. "You must open to your very marrow
for this transformation.
Can You Lose Weight Through Eating?You get fat when you consume
more calories than you burn during exercise and rest. So, it
doesn't seem reasonable to assume that eating and thus taking in
calories will help you lose weight.
New studies bring to our attention that high levels of
cholesterol might make the brain cells more prone to dementia.
The heart and brain are connected to long term health - many
things that heart patients do are good for all of us to keep our
brain healthy, too.

Carbohydrate Anyway?
During a recent discussion with my father about low carb
diets, he pointed to the butter on the table and said "is
that a carbohydrate?" when I started to explain, he then
pointed to the sugar and said "well, what about
that?"Unfortunately, you cannot just point to a food and
label it a "carbohydrate" as each food is made up of
protein, carbs and fats in varying degrees. Some foods are
almost all carb, and some, like meat, eggs and fish have
none.
