- Sports Drinks - Should They Part of Your Diet and Exercise
Program?
You've seen the diet and exercise commercials featuring
buff, perfectly tanned, healthy and happy young people
doing extreme exercising replenishing themeselves with
the latest sports drink.
You can't watch a sporting event in North America without

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - South beach diet or another fad diet?
- I have thoroughly researched this diet and am giving you every detail of south beach diet for information.
South beach diet book is founded on the premise that switching to good carbs stops insulin resistance and curbs appetite which leads to weight loss. Also, good fats protect the heart and prevent hunger.
But this is hardly true as you will learn after reading this...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Salt saves, salt kills.
- Salt is essential to health. This means sodium chloride and potassium chloride, with traces of other mineral salts.
If you sweat a lot at work or play, lack of salt can cause "heat stroke".
Salt can kill. Excess salt is probably the biggest dietary health risk factor after fats, in any country that uses a lot of prepared foods.
Avoid salty-fatty snack f...

- Meal replacements have been part of the diet landscape for decades. They have helped numerous people lose weight, and more importantly, they have helped people learn the difference between healthy and unhealthy eating choices. Both quantity and quality of life improvements can be credited to the concept of meal replacement solutions.
Those that have successfully relied upon a meal r...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Redeeming unsaturated fat
- The most dreaded word in many dieter's vocabulary is 'fat'. It is not uncommon to hear a dieter discuss their avoidance of eating fat as if it were something thoroughly unwholesome, or even life-threatening, like an allergen, or a contagious disease.
In one way, this impassioned hatred of fat is positive. It reflects a generally understood medical truth that overindulging in fat-ric...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Reasons for obesity
- Causes of Obesity
Just like there is no weight loss pill or single "magic potion"
diet plan to cure obesity there is no single cause of obesity.
We are living in an age of two income families, job loss,
stress, and time constraints. It makes it difficult to prepare
and eat healthy foods. The ad agencies, the big food companies,
and the 35 B...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Real soy sauce
- When I was growing up, I thought soy sauce was salty water with dark coloring and some secret soy and wheat stuff mixed in. That's because my parents did not know any better
than to buy LaChoy brand.
Some of the cheapy stuff from China is not any better.
Oriental friends introduced me to real home cooked delights that one never finds in a typical Chinese or Jap...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Protein: common or missing link?
- Most of us equate the word diet with calorie reduction. This is understandable, since most diet marketing is relentlessly focused on offering consumers low-calorie options.
Unfortunately, this way of thinking is categorically wrong. The simple fact that any nutritionist will verify is that everyone is on a diet. Even those who do not wish, or do not need, to lose weight are on a die...
-
- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Protein - the denominator customary to all diets
- The Human Body is in a constant flux with the environment. Matter and molecules flow in and out, casting themselves into its complexities. Although the body lends them structure, it is the intake?the diet?that decides its physique. To control what goes in a diet is to choose what stays inside. Dietary decisions reflect an awareness of metabolism and the nutrients needed to modify it. There may be ...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Prevention
- is a wonderful word that is too little appreciated by people in North America and many other countries. Just look at recent news.
Prevention applies to mega forest fires (controlled burns in advance), earthquakes (better construction in California than Iran saved lives during similar levels of
earth tremors), and many diseases.
Unfortunately, the medical - phar...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Overweight diet & fitness "experts"
- Diet is a topic much discussed in theory, neglected in practice. I am amused that photos and TV images of most weight loss gurus in USA show them to be "pleasingly plump", that is to say, OVERWEIGHT.
While "juicy" (or "zaftig" or "zoftic") bodies can provide sex appeal in the eyes of some viewers, comparison of health statistics of third generation Asian-Americans to Asian-Asians sh...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Nutrition is more than the nutrition facts box
- Most people pay little attention to the nutritional content of their food until they are on, or about to begin a diet.
Then they take a keen interest in seeing which diet has less calories or less carbohydrates. But it is a simple fact that most popular diets do not have nearly as many positive effects as their creators would have us believe.
Most of the serious diets we hear...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Need to lose weight fast for a special occasion?
- If you have just a little weight to lose, and want to take it off fast (say, so you can fit into those great pants for your cousin's wedding), there are a number of diets that you can use. Most of these wouldn't be recommended for long-term weight loss, as they substantially restrict your intake of some essential nutrients, so using them habitually may not be healthy. But if you're normal diet is ...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Monosodium glutamate & hydrolyzed protein
- Industry spokes persons and publications of various national governments assure us that MSG is good for us, with no detrimental effects.
Such assurances are totally meaningless to those of us who find even small amounts of MSG can cause a feeling of swelling head, headache, spaciness, anxiety, and make it
difficult to sleep.
(Going on a chocolate binge can do t...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - "modern" diets and supplements
- For the majority of people who don't raise their own foods, diets can be deficient in vitamins and minerals. In fact, it was the study of diet deficiencies in the USA and other countries that led to the creation of vitamin and mineral supplements.
Since my late youth, when I left the farm, I have included supplements in my diet. Now I take "therapeutic" blends of vitamins, helped by...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Moderate exercise is necessary for good health.
- At a minimum, walk a mile or more several times a week (or daily) and move the arms and wrists around to loosen up the joints.
If you can't walk or ride a stationary bicycle, use a rowing machine, swim, or join wheel chair races. My paddle-wheel stationary bike uses arms as well as legs,
and the resistance by air goes exponentially with RPM.
If you can do none ...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Miso and potato soup meal
- I previously described a Hearty Miso Soup Meal which gets some of its protein and bulk from angel hair pasta. Here is a variation on the theme, replacing pasta with potato. Both recipes provide a high protein meatless meal, low in fat.
These proportions are for one person, and can be adjusted to taste.
The tofu and miso can be found at upscale grocers, health food sto...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Migraines retreat with diet modifications
- The research is clear, food intolerance, allergies, and hypersensitivities are key triggers of headaches and migraines. Although each migraine sufferer may react to a different food or group of foods, there are a few which seem to pop up as frequent offenders: dairy (including milk, cheeses, and yogurt), wheat, eggs, soy, corn, citrus, chocolate, coffee, beef, yeast, red wine, and processed foods ...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Low gi diet or low carb diet ? which one is best?
- These days, most everyone has heard of low carb diets such as the South Beach and Atkins diet but the GI or glycemic index diet is a fairly new name on the diet scene.
While low carb diets restrict the quantity of carbohydrates, the GI diet focuses on the quality of carbohydrates. It works by promoting the consumption of foods that are low on the glycemic index, foods which will hav...

- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Low carb is high dumb
- Low carbohydrate diets are now the craze in the U.S.A. Fast food stores even offer hamburgers in lettuce rather than in
buns (still with the fats of meat and sauces). Breads and pastries modified for lower carbohydrates are now making
fortunes for suppliers. "Low carb salads", still drenched with high fat dressings, are offered for "dieting."
So what?

- Copyright 2005 Tom Venuto
Remember that movie with Jim Carey, ?Dumb and Dumber?? And remember the sequel to that movie, ?Dumb and Dumberer?? Well, the low carb mania that is sweeping the globe today has reached a level beyond dumberer. It's more like dumberererer (try to say that five times real fast)
There is an epidemic of ?low carb stupidity? running rampant among ...
-
- 2007-03-29 17:57:04 - Low-carb high protein diets
- This type of diet became very popular as of recently due to the promotion of the ever-popular Atkins Diet Craze. This diet is very popular because there is no calorie counting involved, and many foods that many people love to eat are allowed on the diet. Further, the Atkins diet is a high-protein diet, which means that weight lost during this diet will not result in lost muscle mass, since protein...

If anyone knows anything about fitness, it's that a low fat diet is the healthiest way to avoid serious diseases, right? Maybe wrong.
In many instances quality research has shown just the opposite.that a low fat diet, sometimes even a vegetarian diet, can be harmful to your health. Although vegetarian and low-fat diets have been p...
