| Article Title :: Is a Vegetarian Diet Good for You and Your Family? |
| |
| In our Western society, a common nutritional belief is that meat and animal products must be consumed in order to maintain a well-balanced, muscle-building healthy diet.Those who turn away from this traditional way of eating and choose a vegetarian diet are often considered "granola-head hippies"...or even just plain odd.But more and more people these days are discovering the many health benefits of a vegetarian diet. Additionally, more physicians and scientists are prescribing and endorsing plant-based meals in order to promote health, prevent and treat certain diseases, and even to reduce weight.Although vegetarianism may seem like a modern fad, in reality, its heal (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Best Meal Plan For Your Diet Personality |
| |
| If you eat less than 3 meals a day looks like you don't care about your body. Spending most of your time eating or snacking plus forgetting to take your 1 hour exercise...I don't need to mention what would be the effect, but I strongly recommend you to read carefully these 3 eating plans, described bellow, and select the one you like most and think it's easy to follow.Plan 1Eat your breakfast, kiss your kids and go to work. Don't even think about food before the lunch-time. You will say: "This is easy, lunch is my first meal for the day." OK, but how many times you eat after lunch?

| Article Title :: Healthy Liver Function |
| |
| The function of the liver is to detoxify, filter and clean the blood of poisonous waste and toxic matter; regulates blood volume, and destroy old red blood cells. The liver stores glycogen, vitamins, other substances, and the energy are released between meals. This process helps to regulate blood sugar levels and keep the energy level constance during the day.The liver has to filter out dead cells, chemicals, drugs and debris. It is the largest organ in the body and maybe the most important. To protect the liver:* Stop using unnecessary medications
* Stop mixing medication without doctor’s advice
* Stop drinking more than two beers, two glasses of wine, or two l (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Healthy Beverages for Kids Equal Healthy Kids |
| |
| It's a cultural phenomenon - in school and homes around the country in the past few years, kids have started drinking soda instead of milk and natural juices on a routine basis. Sodas - basically colored, sugared water - have replaced far more nutritional alternatives almost exclusively with some children and teens, contributing not only to an increase in childhood obesity but to a much greater incidence of childhood caries (cavities in teeth). Perhaps even more alarming, teenage girls who opt for sodas instead of milk on a regular basis have been discovered to have sometimes irreversible osteoporosis, a condition in which calcium in the bones has disappeared, leaving bones porous, brittl (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How "Make Believe" Are Your Foods? |
| |
| Recently, I finished one of the most informative books on a no-nonsense approach to regaining control of your health and wellness. Never Be Sick Again, by Raymond Francis should be #1 on the New York Times best seller list, but alas it is not. This is not the first time I have spoken of his book, nor will it be the last. His book is a true testament from the front lines of fighting disease and sickness, and in my opinion, should be the very first book you open should you choose to remain healthy for the duration of your life.The Well Nourished American is a MythCarl Pfeiffer, M.D., Ph.D., Author of Mental and Elemental Nutrients, said, “The well-nourished (read full article) |

| Article Title :: More On Brocco-Sprouts, The Uber-Antioxidant |
| |
| At a mere twenty calories, a cup of broccoli provides 34 milligrams of calcium and 66 milligrams of vitamin C. Phytochemicals in broccoli possess anti-cancer effects, and this sprout’s beta-carotene is an exceptional antioxidant and could fortify the immune system. This poor vegetable that children and United States presidents look down upon may also be valuable in the fight against H. pylori, the bacterium that causes stomach ulcers and stomach cancer.In an experiment that was conducted by scientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the French National Scientific Research Center, a component from broccoli sprouts called sulforaphane GS was intensely scrutinized (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What Energies are in Your Body ? |
| |
| It’s really all about choice. What we think we want in life and the life we actually live, all comes down to the choices we make every moment of the day. When we choose to put unhealthy substances into our bodies an energy shift occurs. Poor choices result in negative energies in our bodies and in turn result in disease and aging. When one decides to choose to live a life of vibrant health one needs to learn to make choices to change the energies from negative to positive. You need to choose to bring into the body the energies which will restore your body to a state of optimal health.

| Article Title :: Watch That Food Label |
| |
| You know how some food labels indicate that the contents of a
package are 'fat-free'? So you stock up on lots of such 'good'
foods, faithfully avoiding as much fat as you can.But somehow, you continue to pile on the weight. How can that
be? I'm assuming you're exercising regularly here. If you aren't
then that's a different story altogether.Well, not all 'fat-free' foods are truly fat-free.
The trouble here is that in order to make these 'fat-free'
products more palatable for you, the manufacturers add lots of
sugar or sweeteners of questionable safety to them.Next time you go shopping, check this out for yourself: pick up
any 'fat-free' (non-dairy) food pro (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Food Flavourings and Flavour Enhancers; What Are They And What Do They Mean To Our Health? |
| |
| There are thousands of different synthetic and ‘nature-identical’ (artificially produced) flavours that are added to our food to improve flavour and aroma. They do not have an E number, and are not individually listed on the packaging; the label may simply say ‘flavouring’. This makes it impossible to know what they are, but if it does not say NATURAL FLAVOURING then we know that it is synthetic. Synthetic flavourings are a big money industry, cloaked in secrecy. As you can imagine, with so many flavours in existence, and manufacturers being highly secretive about what they are and how they are made, it is difficult to know how safe these chemical additives are.

| Article Title :: How to Eat Healthily |
| |
| We all know the importance of eating healthy foods for their vitamin and mineral content. However, in recent years, scientists have discovered that there are hundreds of substances in food that have healing and disease prevention properties.So why, if there are foods that will heal many of our common ailments, have we not heard more about them? Maybe it's because, just as we've become a fast food society, we've also become a fast cure society. We're always looking for the easy way to cure and prevent diseases by just popping a pill.Just look at the increasing number of ads on TV and in magazines for drugs. Often the side effects are worse than the disease they're meant to pr (read full article) |
