Some people call it the death-defying diet, but does severely restricting your calorie intake really let you cheat death (or at least postpone it for a while)? Or is this just another way of searching for the impossible — eternal youth with no strings attached? Well, there is no such thing as something for nothing…

* Do you want to live in good health for more than a 100 years?
* Do you want to be permanently hungry?
* Do you want to feel cold all the time?

Most people would answer \’yes\’, \’no\’ and \’no\’ to these questions, and I\’m no exception. According to the advocates of calorie restriction you can live an unusually long life — if you are happy to be cold and hungry most of the time.

Personally, I would rather eat healthy but filling meals and do some exercise — you\’ll lose weight but you won\’t feel deprived.

But for those of you who want to know more — what IS calorie restriction (or CR)? Well, it\’s a system of deliberately eating far fewer calories than your body really needs while maintaining nutrient levels. Keeping an adequate intake of vitamins and minerals is very important for general health, and vital if you are following a very strict regime of eating (or not, actually).

It\’s not a new idea, in fact it\’s been around since the 1930s, but the best-known promoter of CR was Dr Roy Walford. He showed that CR can fight many of the serious diseases that tend to strike in middle age, and he claimed that it would be possible to live to 120. And yet Dr Walford died at 79 — from one of the diseases (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, for those who need to know) that are accelerated by CR.

Followers of CR also have to deal with feeling the cold — they don\’t experience the insulating effect of body fat to keep them warm and instead have to rely on layers of clothing.

Another side-effect is the effect on your libido. For women CR may increase it — yippee — but before you throw away every chocolate biscuit in the house, be warned that CR can decrease men\’s sex drive!

Then there\’s the problem of your eating habits. In our food-obsessed society, someone who says no to food is automatically viewed with suspicion, or worse as a crank. You probably know someone who is allergic to nuts, or can\’t eat wheat, and — go on, admit it — you find their restricted eating can be difficult, especially when you\’re trying to feed them. Imagine how much more tricky it would be if you needed to weigh all your food using super-accurate postal scales just to make sure you weren\’t eating a gram too much of anything!

And while you\’re doing all this measuring, calculating and weighing — not to mention thinking about what foods you can actually eat — and taking vitamin and mineral supplements, you\’re feeling constantly hungry as well. Doesn\’t sound like much fun to me. And we all know what happens when we\’re not supposed to be eating a particular food: there\’s nothing we crave more — be it chocolate, cheese, ciabatta or even celery!

I love to eat. Most of us do. I\’m not fat, my body mass index is in the low half of the normal range and I\’ve managed to survive into my forties without starving myself at all. In fact I weigh less now than I did in my twenties; and I wasn\’t plump then. I enjoy a glass of wine — usually among the first casualties of any diet. The secret is knowing what\’s in what you\’re eating…

Start cooking at home, make smart choices when eating out and keep portions reasonable. That\’s it. Easy — anyone can do it — even me.

You already know the fast food industry is to your waist what cigarettes are to your lungs.

Even so, just like smokers who knowingly shave years off their lives, many Americans find themselves at one of these fat-laden grease pits several times a week, if not every single day.

Sure, it\’s fast, easy, and cheap, but so are those “ladies of the night” on the street corners you pass every night on your way to McDonald\’s, and they aren\’t exactly great for your health either (side order of STD\’s, anyone?).

If the slop these restaurants serve you wasn\’t enough, it turns out many of the suits behind these chains are just as greasy as their deep fryers, and are serving you even more slop through their carefully worded claims and marketing techniques.

Top 3 Shocking Fast Food Industry Secrets

1. What you don\’t know, CAN hurt you. Several chains and restaurants don\’t even know or give you access to nutritional information for the food they serve. Some claim since they make everything by hand, it would be impossible to do so. Tell that to the nearly 50 chains that already do!
2. Fat is NOT just a number. The term “low-fat” is thrown around just about anything to give an illusion of healthier options. For example, Applebee\’s “low-fat” chicken quesadillas pack a whopping 742 calories, along with nearly 100 carbs, in a single order.
3. The French\’s secret. Ever had Burger King\’s French toast sticks? Mmmm, they are so sweet and yummy, right? Did you know those seemingly innocent breakfast treats share the same trans fat-filled deep fryer with pork sausage, pork fritters, Chicken Tenders, chicken fries, Big Fish patties, hash browns, onion rings, and Cheesy Tots? The more, the merrier, right?!

Shocking, no? In fact, maybe it\’s not. Perhaps we have just come to expect these kinds of misleading and downright harmful practices and chosen to accept them, simply because, “It tastes mmm, mmm good.”

Hopefully, you already know enough to stay away from the fast food industry, but, for more tips and advice for even the most savvy and health-conscious person, head over to http://www.fitbuff.com

Most of us like to think we know about nutrition, but do we? We know we\’re supposed to eat fruit and vegetables and yet fast food is more popular than ever and we all know that we are supposed to drink over 1 ? litres of water a day and yet soft drinks sell more than ever. So do we really know about nutrition or do we just not care? In the current climate of vitamin supplements and general food para?noia, we can often forget that all it takes to stay fit and healthy - along?side sufficient exercise - is a good, balanced diet. Instead of guzzling heavily marketed super-foods or breaking down in tears after every chocolate bar, all we need to do is pay attention to what we eat, making sure we get the right amount of each of the following food groups;

Grains

Starchy foods such as bread, rice, potatoes and pasta should make up 30% of our diet (men should aim for six to seven servings per day, women five to six). Starch and other carbohydrates are a great energy source - much better than fats. Grains are also loaded with insoluble fibre, which, because the body can\’t digest it, helps carry other food and waste through the digestive system. Fibre also tends to make us feel full, so we are less likely to overeat.

Meat, fish, eggs and beans

These foods should make up about 12% of our daily diet. They are our main source of protein, which helps keep our body tissue strong and our immune system healthy. They also contain several crucial vitamins and minerals without which our bodies couldn\’t function. Around 170g (6oz) of meat or fish per day is enough to keep us healthy, but too much meat can raise cholesterol levels, increasing the chances of developing heart disease. Fish is a better alternative, and we should try to eat at least two portions of fish or shellfish a week.

Fruit and vegetables

These should constitute 30% of our diet. Treat the five-a-day as a minimum (five to nine servings are recommended), as these foods are our best source of vitamins and minerals as well as being very low in fat. Drinking fruit juice, adding dried fruit to cereal, and using vegetables or pulses in stir-fries and curries are all easy ways to improve our fruit-and-veg count, and can go a long way to improv?ing our health. So-called super-foods such as blueberries and broccoli are obviously a good part of any diet, but it\’s important not to focus too much on them - often the super-food tag is little more than a marketing gimmick.

Milk and dairy

Dairy products should account for about 15% of our diet - around three servings a day is fine. As well as providing protein and vitamins A and B12, dairy products are a great source of calcium, which keeps our bones strong and healthy. Although cheese is often derided for its fat content, a little bit is fine. A bigger worry is the salt content of many cheeses and butters. Adults should be eating no more than 6g of salt every day, and levels approaching this figure are often included in these products. It\’s always a good idea to check the label.

Fatty and sugary food

Cakes, chocolate and the like should only make up about 7% of our diet. This means that although there\’s no need to completely abstain from sweet or fatty foods, moderation is the key. The odd chocolate bar or rich pudding is fine; gorging yourself on chocolate biscuits less so. It\’s important to have some fat in our diet - it helps the body absorb vitamins and is a good source of energy and amino acids - but fat levels need to be kept to a minimum, particularly saturated and trans fats. These fats are linked with heart disease and strokes, so it\’s best to steer clear. Switching to unsaturated fats (which can be found in fish, nuts and plant oils) can actually reduce choles?terol levels - again, it\’s best to eat them in moderation.

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!

The first thing many people do in the morning is to consume orange juice, toast, honey, sweet rolls, muffins, waffles, pancakes etc. This over-acidifies the cell system and promotes high levels of yeast and fungi to grow inside the body, because huge amounts of sugar and simple carbohydrates are ingested. Therefore, should one be willing to make a commitment to health and a pH balanced intake of daily foods, a whole new look at diet and nutrition has to be taken.

Acid Wastes Grow Inside Our Body

Acid wastes grow inside our body system due to our normal, daily diet, which contains too many acidic or acid-producing foods (e.g. dairy products, omelets, yeast-containing bread, processed food, red meat etc.). Consequently, if there are too many wastes to handle, they are deposited in vital organ systems like the heart, pancreas, liver, colon and other locations. Therefore, in order to protect our organs, our body constantly tries to dispose of these acidic wastes.

To slow down this process, the over-acidification of the body system has to be reversed by adding liberal amounts of alkaline water to the diet. Alkaline water has a pH between 9 and 11 at the pH scale and will neutralize harmful acids and gently remove them from cells and tissues. The pH level is a measure of acidity or alkalinity, which takes numerical values from 0 (maximum acidity) through 7 (neutral) to 14 (maximum alkalinity) at the pH scale. The urine, digestive juices, mucus, saliva, blood and the fluids inside and outside the body’s cells each have an optimum pH level (with a normal range of 7.35 to 7.45). If the pH moves below 6.8 or above 7.8, the cells of the body stop functioning.

The Ideal Balance of Alkaline & Acid Forming Foods

The key to restoring our body to its ideal pH is not only to add alkaline water to the diet, but also to create the ideal balance of alkaline and acid forming foods. Since our body’s pH level is slightly alkaline, our diet and nutrition should also reflect this. In this regard we should never consume more than 20-25% of neutral and acidifying foods, and at least 75% of alkalizing and alkaline foods, such as green vegetables, salads and avocados.

Fresh vegetables, greens and grasses are an excellent anti-yeast and anti-fungal. Green grasses (or related green powder products) such as barley or wheat grass are some of the lowest-calorie, lowest-sugar and most nutrient-rich foods on earth, and contain high amounts of fiber. Since our body continually struggles to maintain its ideal pH, our cell system is over-burdened. This is why we have to support these efforts by achieving pH balance (reading ‘The pH Miracle’ about alkaline water, alkalizing products and acid alkaline diet also helps).

ph Balance Through Alkaline Foods

Eating foods that are alkalizing transforms our body’s balance from dangerously acidic to slightly above neutral. In this way we achieve pH balance, and our body naturally drops to its healthy weight (no more fat cells needed to carry away acids from vital organs). Above that, our food cravings will diminish and our energy levels will increase immensely.

Balance-pH is dedicated to educate people all over the world regarding the constantly growing over-acidification of our cell system. Acidic wastes grow inside the body due to unhealthy lifestyles, which is the reason for many diseases. Balance-pH shows efficient ways of how to alkalize, how to fight these acids, balance body ph levels and restore the overall health at http://www.balance-ph.de (click English flag)

“Organic” is a labeling term that denotes products produced under the authority of the Organic Foods Production Act.Guidelines for organic production are to use materials and practices that enhance the ecological balance of natural systems and that the farming system techniques fall into into an ecological whole.

Organic agriculture methods are used to minimize pollution from air, soil and water. Organic food handlers, processors and retailers adhere to standards that maintain the integrity of organic agricultural products. The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people.

In order to become Organically Certified, in this case, Organic Produce, growers must grow their produce for a minimum of three years, without artificial pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Since growth chemicals are not allowed, this means that organic crop yields may often be smaller, resulting in considerably higher prices for end consumers.

So, are organically foods healthier than other foods? According to some scientists, the short answer may be no because plants retain just so much vitamins through the growth process. However, in an earlier article, I pointed out the facts on soil nutrient depletion, drastically down from 100 years ago, giving empirical proof that plants grown in the mainstream of farming today have only a fraction of the vitamins and nutrients, simply because these ingredients have been depleted from our soil.

Because of Organic methods, such as crop rotation, rotational grazing, planting of cover crops, animal and plant waste recycling, tilling, and adding minerals to crops, there is much more nutrient material in these soils available to the plants. So it would stand to reason that if a maximum level of nutrients are available to the plants, the maximum amount of natural nutrition is obtainable in our foods.

Since artificial pesticides and chemicals are absent from the Organic food chain, these foods are definitely safer to consume, and given the above argument, healthier also. Their is no doubt that the food that our ancestors ate, generations ago, had a higher nutritional value. But as agriculture progressed and techniques were improved for much greater crop yields, something had to give. In many places, farm soil is literally little more than dirty sand, with nearly all of the valuable original nutrients leached out.

Artificial fertilizers will produce huge crops of nutrient deficient plants that leave human consumers critically deprived of the natural vitamins and minerals so much needed to maintain good health. Their is no question in many scientists minds that organic foods Do contain a much higher nutrient content. The good news is that demand for organics is soaring, which will lead, hopefully, to a renaissance in how our food is grown as well as a huge public awareness level which will benefit everybody up and down the supply cycle. Just think about it, healthy natural food that mother nature engineered our bodies to use without breaking the bank. Oh, one other thing. If you haven’t tried Organically Certified eggs, you don’t know what you’ve been missing. They taste so much better that I think that they’re worth the nearly the double in price that you’ll pay. Enjoy!

The Candida Albicans diet is made up of a number of different elements and each one is there to help prevent further growth of the infection, reduce the symptoms that you may be suffering from, and help to fortify the body to naturally fight the infection.

There are generally considered to be 4 main steps that will need to be followed if you wish to really feel the beneficial effects of such a diet. However, before you start using any form of Candida Albicans diet it is vital that you talk to either your doctor or a qualified nutritionist in order to ensure that such a diet will not cause you further problems in the future. Seeking your doctor’s advice, you will be able to receive tests to see if in fact you are suffering from a Candida Albicans overgrowth or the symptoms are part of some other underlying problem which could be complicated by a anti candida diet.

The first stage of an anti candida diet generally involves the elimination of foods which feed the candida, and so contribute to an overgrowth of Candida.

Normally during the first stage of the diet foods, which are either processed foods, or contain processed sugars, or are made using a fermentation process or contain yeast, or have any of these foods as ingredients will need to be eliminated completely from your diet.

Also, simple carbohydrate foods such as potatoes and potato chips as well as all fungal products (mushrooms and cheeses which are produced using mold such as Stilton) should be eliminated from the diet.

After a period of around 12 weeks there are some foods, which may be gradually reintroduced back into your diet, although this will depend on the progress made in reducing symptoms. The main food group that is a candidate for reintroduction is fruit. Fruit has such amazing health benefits that it is believed that they outweigh the potential problems that more sugar in the diet may cause through the fruit sugars. Although, it is important that fruit is reintroduced slowly, and it should only make up a small proportion of the diet.

During stage 2 the body will need to adjust to cleanse itself of the toxins that are released by Candida Albicans (79 in total) and this is achieved by drinking plenty of water (around about 2 liters each day). Also drinking hot water with a small squeeze of fresh lemon, is a great detoxifying agent, and although lemon is a fruit it is still permissible during this stage of the Candida diet.

Also during this stage it is recommended to increase the intake of vegetables including salads and those with anti fungal properties that inhibit the growth of Candida Albicans. Ensure that there are sufficient levels of protein in the diet, by increasing the amount of fish and poultry in the diet. It is often recommended that red meat be avoided during the first 4 weeks of this diet as it can place further strain on an already weakened digestive system.

Stage 3 of the diet means that foods that contain probiotics (pro-life) bacteria can be added to the diet to bring back balance to the Gut flora. Probiotics, or friendly bacteria are the microorganisms that normally suppress the growth of candida in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. If they are depleted, generally through prolonged usage of certain medications, then the risk of a candida infection increases.

Either take a good probiotic supplement or consume “live” yogurt as part of a diet to repopulate the intestine with these friendly bacteria.

Whilst the final stage (stage 4) of the Candida Albicans diet allows a person to start to reintroduce those foods which where eliminated in the first stage of the diet, they should be reintroduced one at a time to monitor the effects they may have on the body.

If at any the foods that are reintroduced begin to cause problems then eliminate them from your diet immediately and monitor the effects.

Tody in the international markets there is a great demand for goji berries. It is very surprising that this small, red raisin sized fruit cost anywhere between $30 to $50 per pound. All over the world people are franticly try to include goji berries it in their diets. When you take a closer look at this minuscule berry, you will see that it packs all the goodness that the human body requires to function properly.

Goji berries normally grow in Tibet, Mongolia, and China. It is important not to confuse goji berries with a sub-species that is known as wolfberries. These two plants look alike and yield similar looking fruits, but goji berries are sweet and juicy, and wolfberries are bitter and dry in taste. Very few people know about this basic difference, and because of this wolfberries are passed off goji berries in a number of places around the world.

The goji berry plant is a very strong plant that can adapt to just about any type of soil and climate condition. This plant can with stand extremely hot and cold environments. Even though this plant thrives in well-drained soil, it grows great in other types of soil as well. This plant loves the sun and it will bear more fruit if its grown in an area where it is able to receive plenty of sunshine. However it should be noted that wet soggy soil conditions are detrimental to the well-being of this plant.

This plant grows very slowly, and it will start bearing fruit after two years. This plant will be fully mature after five years, and by this time the plant will be somewhere between eight to ten feet tall. The flowers of the goji berry plant are usually a combination of two different colors, purple and white and they grow together on one tree. Eventually the flowers will become fruit in late summer and you will see beautiful bright red berries covering the plant.

The fresh goji berries are exceptionally sweet and tasty. However, these berries cannot be touched by the human hand, or they will immediately lose their oxidization, and turn black. This is why, goji berries are always harvested by shaking the plants branches, and then the berries are collected on a mat

Many of us choose to cut out a specific food group in our diets as a means for weight loss. The most popular choice seems to be excluding Carbohydrates from our daily diets. But do we need them, and are we putting our bodies at risk by excluding this food group?

The best bet when weighing the options of a no-carb died is to go low-carb, and to monitor which carbohydrates you are including in your diet. We need to make sure to choose unrefined foods rich in carbohydrates over the processed foods, which tend to lack the vitamins and nutrients that our bodies need, as well as being a cause for both diabetes and hypoglycemia.

Carbohydrates are used to supply our bodies with the energy we need to function. Period. We tend to confuse the lack of exercise and the increased consumption of the WRONG carbohydrate consumption with a more healthy carbohydrate consumption. What we need to be focusing on is choosing the right carbohydrates, along with exercise.

The main reason our bodies will store excess carbohydrates as fat is when we are consuming more calories than we are burning in the day. The simple solution to this is to monitor our carbohydrate intake, and to incorporate an exercise plan into our day to ensure that we are burning these calories we are consuming.

The best time of day to get your daily carbohydrates is in the morning. You will have all day to use the energy provided and to burn off what you have taken in.

Our bodies need carbohydrates. There ARE some that are better for us, and we should make sure we are consuming the right amount of the right carbohydrates for a healthy diet and overall healthy lifestyle.

What is mangosteen juice?

Mangosteens (Garcina mangostana) are tropical fruits native to countries in South East Asia, including Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. As the result of rapid and increased demand for the fruit, mangosteens are now grown in Brazil and India as well. The fruit is commonly known as the “Queen of Fruits” and the “Food of the Gods”, both for its exquisite taste and healing properties.

The mangosteen is approximately the size of a small apple and has a thick rind and segmented interior similar to an orange.

Whole fruit mangosteen juice is made by liquefying the seeds, rinds and flesh of the mangosteen fruit.

The fruit has an impressive list of active ingredients which are important to maintaining human health. Similar to many fruits, the mangosteen is rich in vitamin C, B1, B2, B6, potassium, iron and calcium. What sets the mangosteen apart from the bunch is the substantial concentration of antioxidants and xanthones it contains.

How can it help you?

Mangosteens have been used for many generations in the fruit’s native countries to improve the symptoms of dysentery, including dehydration and diarrhea. The fruit has also been used in poultices to prevent cuts and grazes from becoming infected. It is widely believed that the high vitamin, mineral and antioxidant content of the fruit makes it useful as an anti-histamine, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agent. The anti-aging and anti-cancer properties of the fruit have also attracted widespread attention. These are just some of the mangosteen benefits.

The manner by which mangosteen induces these effects in humans is not yet clearly understood. It is known that antioxidants, which are present in high quantities in mangosteen juice, are known to boost vitamin and mineral absorption in humans. There have been a few, laboratory-based studies on animals that have indicated the positive benefits of mangosteen.

Major studies on humans are yet to be conducted and it isn’t proven that drinking mangosteen supplements on a regular basis would improve health.

The mangosteen has many celebrated properties. It is claimed to have cardiovascular benefits, which include reducing the likelihood of arterial hardening (atherosclerosis), protecting the heart muscle and lowering blood pressure. Mangosteen juice can also improve your heart health by lowering the proportion of circulating blood lipids.

There is emerging evidence that mangosteen juice can help to fight against conditions traditionally associated with aging. These include cruelly disabling conditions such Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, as well as Parkinson’s disease. Mangosteen juice also has anti-depressant properties similar to St. John’s Wart, and has been linked to help prevent glaucoma and cataracts.

With such a high concentration of vitamins and minerals that stimulate the immune system, it is little wonder that many say that drinking the juice regularly helps them to feel energized.

Best of all, unlike many other foods that are good for you, The manner by which mangosteen juice actually tastes good!
