| Article Title :: Alternative Therapies for Acid Reflux Disease |
| |
| Acid Reflux Disease, or GERD, is a common disease which affects approximately 5-7% of the population. It occurs when acid from the stomach backs up into the esophagus, a long, thin, muscular tube, which connects the mouth and the stomach. This often causes a constant burning sensation behind the breastbone, which is commonly known as heartburn. Long-term or persistent heartburn should be evaluated by a doctor, as heartburn can imitate the symptoms of heart disease.Once you have been properly diagnosed as having Acid Reflux Disease, there are a variety of treatment options available to you.

| Article Title :: Avoiding Nutritionally Deficient Foods After Gastric Bypass |
| |
| After WLS we must concentrate on eating nutrient rich food. Nutritionally void foods cannot be part of the regular diet after surgery because they can cause dumping, vomiting and/or weight gain. In addition, the body is taxed by the bypassed system and to put foods into it which are difficult to process and digest only taxes the body further keeping us from feeling optimum health.In traditional dieting we learn to avoid “unhealthy” foods – those that tend to least resemble their original natural ingredients and have the most added refined and artificial additives. After gastric bypass we MUST avoid these foods, it’s not a suggestion – it is a way of life.Top of the (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Busy Mum's Guide to Losing Weight |
| |
| Hormonal changes during pregnancy, and quite normal fat gain often makes many women feel unattractive and sometimes quite depressed. Many women still believe that “eating for two” is the way to go during pregnancy. I am sorry if I disappoint some of you, but this really is not the case. If a woman eats to satisfy her appetite, her weight will usually increase by about 3.5kg (8lb) in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy and then by about 0.5kg (1lb) a week until the end of the pregnancy. The total weight gain during pregnancy will be about 12.5kg (27lb). Gaining too much weight during pregnancy can raise blood pressure and increases the risk of becoming obese (very overweight) in the future (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Food Intolerance |
| |
| Many people experience unpleasant reactions to foods they have eaten and suspect they have a “food allergy”. However, only 2–5% of adults and 2–8% of children are truly “allergic” to certain foods.
The remainder of people may be experiencing food intolerance, or food sensitivity, rather than true food allergy.I think a quick lesson is in order…
A food allergy occurs when an individual ingests a food (usually containing a protein) that the body sees as a “foreign” or threatening substance - known as an ANTIGEN or ALLERGEN.
The person’s immune system responds by mounting an attack, producing large amounts of IgE antibodies, which attach themselves to specialised (read full article) |

| The old cliché that you are what you eat is quite true. Many people suffer from certain health conditions that even though may not be cured, can be controlled through your diet. All foods have certain qualities that affect the body in different ways. Nutrients are broken down and used in different ways, allowing your body to use them how it desires.Herbs have been forever rumored to help your body reach its full potential, but they are not the only answer. Your grocery list has foods on them that can help whatever ails you, but you’ll want to alter them just a little. Many of the foods we eat are processed, but they are really over processed.

| Just what is the “New Biology of Health?” And who’s the snake oil salesperson promoting certain products as the cure-all for cancer, diabetes, and heart disease? Does it work ?Simply put, the “New Biology of Health” is about maintaining your body’s acid/alkaline balance or pH level. The ideal pH level, as measured by saliva, urine, or blood tests, is slightly alkaline.Dr. Robert O. Young, cellular biologist and author of the “pH Miracle,” teaches that our American lifestyles and diets destroy cellular health. Stress, the environment, and especially acid foods (almost everything you eat except for certain fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts) force your body (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Alcohol as a Key Ingredient to a Healthy Diet |
| |
| Evidence suggesting that alcohol is "cardio-protective" first appeared in the literature about 30 years ago. The Framingham Heart Study [the longest running population study of heart disease which began in 1948] provided the first solid evidence of this association. The relationship has now been confirmed by dozens of large population ["epidemiological"] studies. However, physicians have been reluctant to recommend alcohol consumption to patients because of the well-known health consequences of excessive drinking [hypertension, liver disease, increased rates of cancer, violent or accidental death] and the horrors that are associated with "drinking and driving".Moderation is the (read full article) |
