| Article Title :: Nuts To You... Just One Way to a Healthy Heart |
| |
| Nuts are readily available and provide a highly nutritious food. In addition to protein, carbohydrate, and fat, nuts contain many other important nutrients: fiber, vitamin E, folic acid, potassium, and magnesium. Although on some food charts you may see nuts listed in the same food category as diary products, eggs, and red meat because of the fat content, new information calls into question this designation.While nuts do contain a high proportion of fat, tree nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazel nuts, Brazil nuts, and macadamia are actually low in saturated fat. Most of the fat comes in the form of monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, which are considered to be (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Help Prevent Premature Aging With Nutrition-Science |
| |
| Aging occurs when the body’s cells die at faster rates than new cells are generated. People age prematurely because inadequate nutrition resulting from poor diet stimulates cellular destruction and increases the potential for obesity, diabetes, cancer and other chronic diseases.With improper diet, the body produces vast quantities of highly reactive oxygen molecules, known as free radicals. Free radicals attack healthy cells and accelerate the aging process. This occurs especially when we eat high-fat foods, but also occurs when we are exposed to environmental pollutants, such as pesticides and ultraviolet radiation...or consume too many calories in the diet.Simple Steps (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Nutrition and Exercise Tips to Walk Away From Death |
| |
| Recently yet another super-heavyweight Iron Immortal died from a heart attack at age forty-five or thereabouts. Typically, when I read of these tragedies I search my memory banks and then write some sort of tribute. Rather than eulogize yet another fallen warrior, for whom it’s too late, and at the risk of sounding presumptuous, I thought a slightly different approach might be appropriate and perhaps even helpful in preventing a future tragedy. It is my contention that a shockingly large percentage of retired national and international-level powerlifters and Olympic weightlifters eat too much, do nothing insofar as cardiovascular training and as a direct result unnecessarily risk premat (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Did You Start Your Life With Enough Probiotics? |
| |
| Why does disease begin in the digestive tract? Your
digestive tract is your first line of defense when it comes
to your health. This is because of the good bacteria that
resides there. That is why the use of Probiotics is so
importantThink of Probiotics - the good bacteria as guards against
incoming
invaders. Having a good number of these beneficial bacteria
in our digestive tract guards us against a whole range of
health problems and disorders. 85% good bacteria to 15% bad
bacteria is just about right.Sadly, because of such things as stresses of modern life,
the antibiotics you may have taken and having a digestive
system that is not slightly acid, you likely do not have

| Article Title :: Good Meal Sizes and Frequency |
| |
| Meal sizes and frequency are very important. Over the years people are amazed by how much food I eat at work in a day and part of this can probably be explained by decent genetics but more importantly I make sure that I have a higher metabolism by eating more smaller meals.Most people will eat Breakfast lunch and dinner or even less often as in the case of my parents where the only real meals are breakfast and dinner. I on the other hand eat at 7:30, 10:00 12:00 3:00 5:30 and 8:00. I have been eating six times a day for years.

| Article Title :: Nutrition - It's What's Eating You That Counts |
| |
| “It's not what you eat, it's what's eating you that counts.”Before we talk about food, the most important nutrients we put in our bodies are air and water. Forget about air if you live in Los Angeles, or now Kona, it’s bad there. Also pure tap water is now next to impossible to find in most cities. Even in beautiful Hawaii most people drink purified or filtered water. Our bodies being a high percent of water (about 75%) it becomes imperative to not drink polluted or chlorinated water. By adding chlorine in water we are attempting to purify it, maybe from some bacteria, but we don't take out any of the toxic chemicals that end up in our water source. Besides, chlorine has been (read full article) |
