| |
| Are there any benefits to be obtained from drinking water that has Fluoride added? Well, the jury seems to be out, and they have been out for a very long time, without producing a satisfactory answer as to whether it is beneficial or harmful.Scientists have discovered that there is a Toxic interaction between Fluoride and Aluminium, which can lead to Alzheimer's Disease.
Others say that Fluoridation is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects over the long term.A large number of local authorities, worldwide have included Fluoride in the Cocktail that is called drinking water, for many years, whilst others have steered clear of inflicting this on the public, witho (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Fluoride Debate Continues |
| |
| The debate regarding Fluoride continues to rage, is it good for your teeth or, the teeth of our children. There does not appear to be a survey available, without bias, that goes one way or the other.We could say that Fluoridisation of the water supply is an expensive exercise, because it is only intended for drinking, but is actually being used for washing clothes, cars, used in showers and baths, also for watering the gardens and lawns.
Obviously a more cost effective option, would be to supply those that want it, with Fluoride Tablets, then we would not all be forced into consuming it daily and it would not be wasted on gardens, etc.The Fluoridisation agent used by most wa (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Healthy Eating for Executives on the Run |
| |
| For the executive, maintaining the much-needed balance between career, family, and health can often be a challenge and yet without this balance in our lives it is impossible to become focused and efficient during the work day. The one area that seems to be the quickest to fall out of balance is our health. Before you know it you’re working late, no longer having time to make a decent meal and exercise becomes a thing of the past. As I talk on the phone to my executive friend Paula, I hear the same old line, “I don’t have time to have lunch today, and I need to meet with a client. I’m just going to grab something on my way out”. This “something” she is grabbing for lunch usua (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What Is an Essential Fat? |
| |
| You may have heard that essential fats are an important aspect to
maintaining the health of your body. But what exactly are they?Basically, there are two truly essential fatty acids, Linoleic and Linolenic. You may have heard of these referred to as Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids.So, why are they called essential? The term essential in the life
sciences refers to the fact that a nutrient cannot be synthesized by the body. Thus, you must have a dietary or supplemental source to supply your need for these acids.You probably heard of the 8 essential amino acids. It's the same
idea here but in this case we are referring to fatty acids rather
than an amino acid.The (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Antioxidants - Your Best Defense Against Disease and Aging |
| |
| Studies support the benefits of eating a diet rich in fruits and
vegetables. This is due to their high antioxidant value. Why are
antioxidants so important? Because they have a proven track record
of fighting free radicals.Your body is being constantly attacked by very harmful substances
known as free radicals or oxygen radicals. Free radicals can destroy
your cells, tissues and organs.Free radicals are highly unstable molecules that are naturally
formed inside our bodies by the process of oxidation. They are
normal by products of everyday functions like digestion and physical
activity. Free radicals also come from outside sources, such as

| Article Title :: Why Many Fat Free Diets Do Not Work |
| |
| Most people understand that it is wise to limit the amount of fat grams in their daily diet. The dietary reference intake amount for an adult ranges from 20% to 35%[i] of daily calories; or about 44 to 55 grams per day[1]. Since a single slice of pecan pie carries with it 27 grams of fat, and a mere tablespoon of thousand island salad dressing contains 8 grams of fat[ii], it is not surprising to see more and more people checking food labels and “passing over” an order of onion rings[2] as they try to lose, or maintain, inches and pounds.However, the relentless avoidance of fat – even of healthy unsaturated fat – is creating a troubling scenario for many individuals.

| Article Title :: 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-rich foods often causes unwanted, and unhealthy, weight gain.However, in another way, this fat-phobia is potentially dangerous, because awareness of fat is not enough; an understanding of how fat influences weight gain and overall health is required. Unfortunately, those who dread and avoid a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Understanding Amino Acids and their Importance in Diet |

| The importance of protein in a healthy diet is well known to nutritional scientists, and widely understood by the general population. Indeed, every bodily system is directly or indirectly supported by protein. For example, protein supports the structural development of cells, helps ensure the integrity of tissue, aids digestion, carries hormones, and strengthens the immune system[i].More recently, however, the motivation for people to choose protein-rich foods has been fueled by carbohydrate-free and carbohydrate-reduced diets, such as the Atkins™ Diet, South Beach Diet™ and Isometric Diet™. Via each of these diet programs, millions of people are vigilantly scanning food l (read full article) |
