| Article Title :: Nutritious and Delicious; Three Summer Vegetables to Increase Your Health |
| |
| Eating seasonal vegetables is a great way to improve your health, and the health of your family. Locally produced seasonal fruit and vegetables are often higher in beneficial ingredients; vitamins, minerals and cancer-busting and anti-ageing ingredients. I want to challenge your taste buds with 3 seasonal vegetables that you will find in the farmers market;• Broad Beans (fava beans); last year I accompanied a school trip to a local farm to teach the children about how food is produced. The high-point for me was watching fifty children under the age of ten munching their way through fat new pods of broad beans; they couldn’t get enough of them.

| Article Title :: Chronic Pain and a New Paradigm |
| |
| We often associate chronic pain with the back, but chronic pain can also be a daily reality for people dealing with diabetes, glaucoma, arthritis, Fibromyalgia, cancer and many other disease processes. For many, the primary choices for dealing with chronic pain appear to be either narcotic drugs or sheer will power. For others, changes in lifestyle including an improved diet, and appropriate nutritional supplementation, have brought not only the benefit of reduced pain but also improvements in quality of life.Chronic pain is often associated with tissue damage and inflammation. Unfortunately this is sometimes easier said than diagnosed. Tissue damage can result from a disease proce (read full article) |

| |
| Every now and then, even with the best of intentions, we find ourselves looking to a fast food restaurant for lunch or dinner.

Whatever the reason, you will be ordering your next meal by talking into a plastic clown from your car window.The problem with this is, you know that fast food is notorious for very high fat content and very high calorie count while at the same time being very low in nutrition.

| Article Title :: Beta Glucan Maybe One Of The Most Powerful Immunity Enhancer Known To Science |
| |
| Beta Glucan is a natural substance that is found in bakers yeast, oats, barley, and several mushrooms. It is recognized by the FDA and is given a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) rating. Beta glucan is usually taken on an empty stomach.In order to be effective, beta glucan has to be processed first, because it is not readily useable in its natural state. Aside from this, it has to contain the “proper glucan purity level and 1,3-D/1,6 molecular linkage.1”Health BenefitsThere have been a lot of documented studies on beta glucan’s health benefits. “Actually beta glucan is probably the most powerful immunity enhancer known to science.” (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Are You Taking All The Vitamins Your Body Needs? |
| |
| Minerals play an important role in our body, and the basic fact is that we do not get enough of it from food alone. The nutritional content of food is not the same today as it was 10-20 years ago—it has become much less due to inappropriate farming methods, soil erosion, etc. Additionally, it has been said that our bodies can only absorb 5% of the minerals found in food.Because of these factors, our bodies have become deficient in minerals—one of the symptoms being constant hunger. But before we go into that, let’s take a brief look first at some basic facts about minerals.Essential MineralsBasically, there are 16 minerals that are recognized as (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Shattering the Meat and Protein Myth ( Part 2 of 2 Parts) |
| |
| Today, the World Health Organization and many experts in the field of human nutrition tell us that human beings only need 4.5% protein in their diets for health and fitness, and overall well-being, and that plenty of protein can be sourced by plant foods alone.After all, even oranges have 8% protein, Romaine lettuce 36% protein, and brown rice 8% protein.The experts also tell us that animal protein is not superior to plant protein. In fact, animal protein is related to many chronic, debilitating diseases that end life prematurely. That is the animal protein alone in animal products. Add fat, cholesterol, hormones, and antibiotics to the mix and that makes meat of all kind (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Potential Diet Killer! Food High In Carbohydrates |
| |
| When it comes to maximizing your energy levels, carbohydrates are the best "go" food around. Think of carbohydrates as gas in your fuel tank. If you don't provide yourself with carbohydrates throughout the day, you simply won't have the energy to function. Now this would be a shame for new moms who definitely don't have much of an energy reserve and who have one or more little kids relying on them for just about everything.
Everything we eat is made up of some combination of protein, fat, and carbohydrate. Simple sugars, like table sugar, starches, like pasta, and fibre, like oat bran, are types of dietary carbohydrates. All carbohydrates deliver four calories per gram. Somethin (read full article) |

| Article Title :: A Tomato A Day |
| |
| It would seem that very soon the old adage of “An apple a day will keep the doctor away” can be replaced with the common tomato. Why? Tomatoes are rich in a powerful antioxidant called lycopene. Antioxidants are extremely important because they prevent and even repair damaged cells in your body. There have been recent studies that have convincing results that lycopene also can prevent prostate cancer and heart disease. One such study, conducted by the University of North Carolina, compared the fat samples of 1,379 men who had suffered from heart attacks with those of healthy men. This study concluded that those men with high levels of lycopene were half as likely to have a heart attac (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Antioxidants-A New Improved Source |
| |
| As a result of the ongoing wellness revolution, more and more people are learning that they need to add high quality nutritional supplements to their diet in order to help prevent and reverse a wide array of chronic degenerative diseases. The basic reason for this is very simple--we are genetically programmed to eat only the simple, whole foods that were consumed by our stone-age ancestors. To whatever degree we deviate from this kind of diet, we deprive our bodies of key necessary nutrients and ingest substances that actually cause them harm. (93)Tragically, about 90% of the average American diet now consists of mummified foods that are lacking in the key nutrients we need; even (read full article) |
