Are Super Foods Really Super To Eat
Are Super Foods Really Super To Eat
When it comes to eating healthy and dieting we are always hearing about new things that are recommended to us by different people such as TV show hosts, Doctors, and friends and family. One thing you might have been hearing about over the last few years is something called a Super Food. So what is a super food? What can it do for you? And most important what foods ARE Super Foods? Well I am going to help you answer some of these questions so that you can better understand this.
First And foremost if you have decided to start eating healthier, exercising and living a healthier lifestyle - Bravo to you! This is an important phase in your life. Sometimes for some people it's hard - it's all about "will" rather than will not. For others it's as easy as pie to get themselves going and never stop. They will be healthy their entire lives and never sneak a piece of chocolate or cheat once a month on a "special" day. It doesn't matter who you are or how you handle things. The important thing is that you want to get healthier and you are at least trying and giving it your best!
These foods are of varying types. They include items such as:
Kale -
Long sidelined as an inferior garnish, this green belongs center stage on your plate. One unvulcanized shredded cup incorporates 34 calories and about 1.3 grams of fiber, as well as a hearty helping of iron and calcium. But kale's unsuppressed flavor might take some getting used to. Spinach, another nutrient powerhouse, is a milder-tasting option.
Oats -
Oatmeal has the steepest satiation ranking of any food. Unlike many other carbohydrates, oatseven the instant kinddigest slowly, so they have little impact on your blood sugar. All oats are remedial, but the steel-cut and rolled assortments (which are minimally prepared) have up to 5 grams of fiber per serving, making them the most fulfilling choice. Instant oats contain 3 to 4 grams per serving.
Wild salmon -
Not only do fish fats keep your heart healthy, but they shrink your waist, too. "Omega-3 fatty acids improve insulin sensitivitywhich helps build muscular tissue and diminish belly fat. And the more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns. Opt wild salmon; it may contain less pollutants.
Blueberries -
All berries are good for you, but those with a blue hue are amongst the best of the bunch. They have the loftiest antioxidant level of all normally consumed fruit, according to research from the USDA Agriculture Research Service in Little Rock, Arkansas. They also present 3.6 grams of fiber per cup. Fiber may actually prevent some of the fat you eat from being assimilated because fiber pulls fat through the digestive tract.
Chile's -
One reason to zest up your meals: You will crank up your metabolism. A compound in chile's called capsaicin has a thermogenic effect, meaning it causes the physical structure to burn extra calories for 20 minutes after you eat the chile's. Plus, you can't gulp down spicy food. Eating slowly gives your brain time to register that your stomach is full, so you won't overeat.
Yogurt -
Nutritionists frequently refer to plain yogurt as the idyllic food, and for good reason: With its trifecta of carbs, protein and fat, it can stave off hunger by keeping blood sugar levels regular. In a study from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, people on a low-calorie diet that included yogurt lost 61 percent more fat overall and 81 percent more belly fat than those on a similar plan but without yogurt.
Avocado -
Don't let the fat content of an avocado (29 grams) scare youthat's what makes it a top weight loss food. The heart-healthy monounsaturated fat it contains increases satiety. In fact, this item is one of the best foods for you! Just think now you can have all the guacamole you want!
Acai Berries -
These little berries are one of the newest and most popular products around. They are a little bit larger than a blueberry but smaller than a grape and come pretty close to beating the blueberry out as far as "goodness" and healthfulness goes. Try finding products such as Acai Berry UK, juices, supplements and powders. These berries are awesome in shakes and smoothies because they blend in well. But a lot of people say that these berries are more potent when used in the capsule form. Whatever works for you!
Alright, so what is this super food thing? While it doesn't have super powers it sure has a lot of super benefits! To put it simply, Super Foods are natural foods so packed with goodness that, when combined with a balanced lifestyle, they have been found to boost levels of health and vitality without the need for chemically produced drugs or supplements. These types of foods can do really amazing things to your body. For example, protecting against cancers, bacterial infections, diabetes, inflammations and neurological diseases as well as your digestive system and metabolism.
These foods include things like Omega3 and omega6 oils are also present and increase your energy and stamina. They have fiber, protein, amino acids, and several plant sterols which enhance digestive functions along with heart power. They also include minerals, trace minerals and vitamins. Really if you eat these foods its like eating ALL your major mineral and vitamin supplements x2.
Cold Sores - Prevent A Cold Sore By What You Eat
Cold Sores - Prevent A Cold Sore By What You Eat
If you wonder about foods that cause and prevent oral herpes cold sores, you are on the right track. Your diet can make a powerful impact as a cold sore treatment. Read this short article and get the facts now.
This article will not give you a detailed diet because each person is different. You will learn which foods prevent cold sores and which foods cause them.
By the time you are done reading this article you will know exactly how to balance these two groups of foods for maximum success with your oral herpes and cold sore prevention.
WHAT IS YOUR MAIN CAUSE OF COLD SORES?
Cold sores are the collateral damage when the herpes simplex virus replicates.
This is how it works.
A herpes virus particle drills into a cell and forces that cell to become a virus factory. The virus then destroys the cell to release hoards of new particles. Many destroyed cells create the open cold sore wound.
THE ROLE OF ARGININE AND LYSINE IN COLD SORES.
You may have heard of the two amino acids - lysine and arginine. These two protein fractions have a big effect on cold sores.
Arginine is the protein required to create new herpes virus. Without it the replication process cannot take place. Your cells store arginine in special receptors inside the cell walls.
Lysine somewhat mimics arginine but cannot be used to make herpes virus particles. If you flood your cells with lysine, the cells will store this protein in place of the arginine. In effect, the lysine pushes the arginine out, creating a shortage.
If the herpes simplex virus senses an arginine shortage, it will give up and return to the dormant state.
Lysine and arginine are both found in most foods. Some foods are higher in lysine and tend to prevent cold sores. Other foods are higher in arginine and tend to cause cold sore events.
You can help prevent cold sores and oral herpes with a diet that provides a two to one ratio of lysine to arginine. Many food choices will provide this high lysine ratio.
Balance is the key to your success. You don't have to give up foods you love. You just need to eat them with some high lysine selections during the day.
COMMON FOODS THAT PREVENT COLD SORES.
Most meats are good sources of lysine for prevention of cold sores - especially fish and chicken. Dairy products, too, are rich in lysine - particularly cheese and yogurt. Eggs are an excellent choice too.
Ricotta cheese is very rich in lysine. Soy products and brewers yeast are also good sources. Flounder is a fish that is extremely high in lysine. You will get 14,000 milligrams per 450 grams (pound) of this tasty seafood.
Good Wisconsin cheddar cheese has a 2.2 to 1 ratio. Perfect and delicious. (Wisconsin cheese is the finest and healthiest cheese you can find).
ARGININE RICH FOOD CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE YOUR COLD SORES.
If you suffer from a lot of cold sore events, here are some high arginine foods that you may want to watch closely.
Each serving of these food products will raise your arginine levels. Tree nuts and field-grown nuts. Most common grains such as wheat and oats give you more arginine than lysine.
Seeds also contribute to cold sore outbreaks with high arginine levels - including sunflower and flax. Vegetables, such as cabbage, radishes, potatoes and beans also encourage cold sores. Chocolate is extremely rich in arginine.
Perhaps you do not wish to change your diet as outlined above. You surely would miss out on the numerous beneficial nutrients provided by vegetables and beans. I do not believe this to be healthy for any length of time.
Rather than do without those high nutrition vegetables and beans, simply add some higher lysine choices to your meals. This may be the only change you need to quell your cold sores.
LYSINE CAPSULES TO THE RESCUE.
Lysine, in 500-milligram capsules, is cheap and convenient. This form is not as powerful as lysine from food, but you won't have to change your current eating habit at all with this supplementation.
Lysine capsules are the preferred choice as a cold sore treatment. It is common to take five to nine capsules per day during the cold sore. One or two daily is a good maintenance procedure between events.
Bathing your system with high levels of lysine is one of several powerful cold sore treatment tactics now in use. If it doesn't stop your oral herpes cold sore, it will definitely slow it down and heal it fast.
Cancer Fighting Foods
Cancer Fighting Foods
Cancer cells are always present in the body and are normally kept in check by our bodys own natural defense system. Do you know how the bodys natural defense system works and where it gets the ammunition to do so? Do you know at what point the body succumbs to the disease named cancer?
Millions of cancer cells are present in the body from time to time. However, when the cancer cell count reaches the billions, we know the bodys natural defense system is not working. Cancer cells seem to be able to go undetected as foreign cells by the body.
Since cancer cells grow more quickly than normal cells they can replace healthy cells almost unnoticed by the body until we feel something is wrong, a tumor is formed, or an organ is malfunctioning.
Cancer has occurred in your body over a long period of time due to many different forces. Outside influences such as environment, exposure to toxins, smoking, second-hand smoke, tremendous shock, and cancer-causing foods can and do cause cancer.
However, cancer can be cured. Studies have proven that a nutritious diet comprised of anti-oxidant foods and nutrients can cure cancer. Cancer-fighting foods are as close as your local grocery store shelves. All you need is the knowledge of which particular foods and the correct recipes and you will be able to cure your cancer condition naturally. In this case, knowledge is the power to heal.
A wide variety of foods is needed to make a lifetime cancer-free diet. There is a process to learning how to make food selections and cook in a way that not only cures cancer, but prevents the disease from permeating your body.
Two-time cancer survivor and author Carol Patterson has developed many wonderful tasting recipes using cancer-fighting foods in order to heal her own body. Her second diagnosis of cancer prompted the doctors to suggest radical surgery. The author chose alternative cancer cures to save her body from being disfigured and horrendous exposure to chemotherapy again.
The cancer-fighting foods program works and be assured that your cancer can be cured. Cancer cures are as close as the local grocery store or health food market coupled with the correct recipes and you will be able to cure yourself of cancer and maintain a healthy body for the rest of your lifetime. The National Cancer Institute estimates that roughly one-third of all cancer deaths may be diet related. What you eat can hurt you. On
the other hand, what you eat can also help you. Knowing which foods are cancer-fighting foods, and making the correct choices can save your life.
Many of the common foods found in grocery stores or organic markets contain cancer-fighting anti-oxidants and can cure cancer naturally. The antioxidants neutralize damage caused by cancer-causing free radicals and change them into phytochemicals which battle cancer cells. Scientists are just beginning to explore this amazing phenomenon.
Worldwide, we are beginning to realize that the modernization of our food processing system in the last 50 years has led to almost epidemic proportions of cancer and heart disease. Not only are these foods contributing to an enormous obesity problem because of chemical ingestion, but processed foods are poisoning our bodies one day at a
time.
Over a period of 25-40 years, major damage has been done to our bodies by eating chemically processed foods; and the result is deadly cancer and heart disease.
The good news is that the body has extremely resilient recuperative abilities. Cells divide and regenerate daily, including cancer cells. Cancer cells are missing two essential amino acids: Linolenic Acid and Linoleic Acid. That being the case, it is very logical to realize if we feed the cancer cells the missing amino acids and nutrients, the cells will have the ability to morph and regenerate themselves into healthy cells. The concept is quite simplistic, but it works. Cancer can be cured and many people have been
cured from cancer with this concept using cancer-fighting foods.
What researchers are finding is we are what we eat!
All over the world, our diet has changed from the times when we ate mainly farm-fresh foods. We go to the grocery store and buy many processed foods which have chemical preservatives and are generally not healthy for us. In many cases, these foods actually cause cancer one day at a time over a period of years.
On the other hand, there are many foods in our grocery stores which have natural antioxidants and the ability to fight off cancer as well as maintain normal body health. Once you know the correct cancer fighting foods, you can institute a natural cancer cure.
The National Cancer Institute recognizes that diet and nutrition play a big part in fighting cancer. It has been recommended to eat at least five daily servings of fruit and vegetables as part of a low-fat, high fiber diet. Many cancer-fighting foods which are high in anti-oxidants are nuts, grains, fruits, and vegetables.
In general, in the western world, our daily diet today is out of balance. We eat too much food; we eat too much meat and fat; we eat too much sugar and salt, and our diet lacks fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains. Our normal daily diets are comprised mostly of up to 45% fats. A healthy fat intake should be 30% or less of the total days intake.
The National Cancer Institute states that diet and nutrition are factors in 60% of cancers in women and 40% of cancers in men.
Today more and more studies are proving that we can beat cancer with the ammunition of nutritious foods and a balanced diet. Johns Hopkins University in their cancer studies has a new update verifying these studies.
It has become common knowledge that nutritional food intake is essential to fighting cancer. It is not logical that the reverse could be true? The wrong foods can and do cause cancer. Not too difficult to figure out!
The National Cancer Institute and the Federal Food and Drug Administration agree that Americans should eat more fiber and reduce their fat intake. These authorities also stress that the freshness of food is an important factor.
Fresh foods straight from your own garden or the farm stand would be the best cancer-fighting foods, plus they are delicious tasting! When you use fresh foods for your meals, and prepare them yourself, you know what you are eating. This is essential to a creating a cure for cancer for yourself or loved one.
There are numerous published reports documenting the healing qualities of a healthy diet. The idea of consuming fruits and vegetables while they are still in their natural state means that we preserve the natural nutrients to put into our body.
When making juice from fruits or vegetables, drink the juice within five minutes of processing in order to preserve the nutrition.
Once the principles of fresh food make sense to you, the idea of store-bought, processed food reveals itself as a large part of the problem. Learn to look at the labels on the back of food packages. The best advice is to eat food in its natural state as it comes from the grower. If you can grow your own vegetables, that is an even better solution.
You will begin to realize the more modern we have become in terms of our food process; the more we now have epidemic high levels of cancer, heart disease and obesity. There is a direct correlation which scientists are proving daily.
There is something drastically wrong with this picture! People no longer have to be deathly sick with cancer. Cancer can be cured through cancer-fighting foods.
Preparing your own fresh juice and food is slightly more work, but consider the alternative. Other countries such as Japan and China do not have the heart disease, obesity or the cancer problems which we have in the western world. Asian foods are mostly vegetable, nut, fruit and fish based. The health problems of heart disease, obesity, and cancer in the western world, and the vast differences between our foods and Asian foods have direct correlation.
Medical and scientific resources are now stating the reason for the high spikes in illness throughout the world is because of processed foods. When you hear a food warning, one at a time on a radio show or a morning talk show, it does not have the impact as it does in written reports complied by government agencies and noted authorities.
It is very logical to see: We are what we eat!
Listed below is a chart of FDA approved fruits and vegetables. Make note on this list; there is plenty of food to eat! Making delicious and healthy cancer-fighting foods from this listing is not difficult at all.

Many of the foods on both the FDA recommended list and the cancer-fighting foods are the same. Take the time to cross-reference this list with the cancer-fighting foods list below. You will see that many of the foods are the same. Amazing!
By changing your diet, and going back to the way we ate 30-50 years ago without processed foods in our diet, you will have the ability to make your body strong and healthy again. Processed foods are a no-no. A lifetime of processed foods can lead to cancer, heart disease, and obesity, which have all become epidemic proportion in the western world.
We have gotten away from true center in our food intake.
We eat too much, and especially eat too much of the wrong foods. If you look at the daily diet of a average teenagers, think fast-forward 25-40 years from now, to the amount of illness which will strike their lives after 25-40 years of ingesting chemically processed foods. This is one of the reasons childhood obesity is at epidemic levels. These children do not have a chance for a long healthy life unless they change their eating habits and stop eating processed foods and chemicals.
We drink processed soft drinks and orange juice which are filled with high sugar content, we eat processed meat and dairy products which have high chemical content, and we cook our food to the point where we have lost the nutrition either to the water in the boil, or the flame of the cooking process.
Foods, as prepared in most Asian countries, do not have the cancer risk we have developed over time in our food processing and preparations in the western world.

Cooking Preparation by Sanas Foods.
Cooking Preparation by Sanas Foods.
Cooking is something many enjoy doing, some find it a task. Being organized in the kitchen can help greatly in the preparation involved in cooking.
Whether you have a huge gourmet kitchen or a kitchenette, knowing how to keep it organized is a good place to start.
Here are some tips;
1) Keep your utensils in a place located closely to the area in which you will prepare your food. Your cooking utensils would do well in a container or on hooks right at arms length to the stove, so having them handing will keep things running smoothly.
2) Spices, if you are one that adds your spices as you cook, keep them in either a spice caracole or a drawer within immediate reach. Keep them in alphabetical order or in order of type. Make sure the labels are easily seen.
3) That infamous clutter of plastic containers can be frustrating in the kitchen. When searching for a matching lid and bottom you can waist time searching and find you getting frustrated. Go through your containers regularly and make sure you have the matches of tops and bottoms, and make sure they are in an orderly fashion so you can grab them easily.
4) Your pots, pans, and bake ware should be kept together by type in an easy to grab place. Having a pan at the back part of the cupboard can really frustrate a person who is trying to get their cooking tasks done. Keeping your items in an orderly fashion will make it easy to grab what you want.
5) Your dishes, cutlery, and glasses dont need to be in your cooking area. They can be in an cupboard area that is further from the stove and closer to where you serve from. This keeps the area around you cooking and preparation space open for items such as pots, pans, and spices.
Remember one of the frustrations of cooking is not being organized. Having a well organized kitchen will minimize frustration and free you up for other things,
