admin Cutting-Edge News Room
Everyone these days it seems is on a diet. There are organic diets and raw food diets and macrobiotic diets. There is the Atkins diet. Some people believe you should take 3 meals a day and some people believe you should combine your foods so that you take fruits at a certain time of day and carbohydrates at a different time of day.
What is the ideal diet for you to maintain proper health and wellness?
Individual Biochemistry and Health
One thing is important for everyone to comprehend about health whether they are a raw food fan or a fan of some other diet. Each mortal has their own one-of-a-kind biochemistry. That means their body will react in its own one-of-a-kind way to the foods a mortal puts in their mouth, no matter what type of intake plan and diet they adopt.
That means no two people will react to food the same way, whether they take 3 times a day or 6, whether they take fruits in the morning or protein. What this means is that apiece individual must adopt their own structured intake plan, one that accommodates their own one-of-a-kind biochemistry and lifestyle.
You can only know what is ideal for you by experimenting to find out how your body reacts to intake different ways and different foods.
How to Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle
The ideal way to maintain good health is to adopt a lifestyle of intake foods in a way that preserves optimal health. Optimal health is living a life relatively free from major disease and living a life that is full of energy and wellness emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Some people find that intake raw foods suits them ideal because it grants them to sustain proper energy and grants them to get the fiber they need to maintain regularity. They might also find that intake six mini meals apiece day, combining a certain ratio of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, suits them best.
Others might find that intake fruits separate from accelerator seems to sit superior with their body’s one-of-a-kind biochemistry. Still others might find the acidity of certain fruits causes them to feel unwell and develop diarrhea. This is because certain people have allergies to citrus fruits.
Others might find the develop cavities despite their good intake habits and tendency to brush between meals. This is because even healthy organic foods can contain few varied minerals and lots of sugar (some fruits for example) so if you take too much of one thing, you might develop tooth decay for example.
This raises one good point about good health – if you want to maintain proper health, it is vital to your health that you take a diversified diet.
Eating Diverse Foods for Proper Health
One concept about food that is generally true for most people is this – the more diversified your diet, the more likely you are to be fit and well. People that take foods from a variety of sources, whether plant or other, are more likely to be healthy than people that take a rather homogenous diet.
No one plant contains all of the vitamins, proteins, trace minerals and amino acids (and the like) that a mortal needs to maintain proper health. This is one reason it is important you diversify your diet. If you always take a piece of cantaloupe for breakfast you might not be getting all of the vitamins and minerals you need from your diet.
Why not try cantaloupe a couple of days apiece week, and then try some peanut butter other days during the week and perhaps some seeds and different fruits different days of the week?
The more diverse your intake habits, the more likely you are to maintain your energy levels and to stave off any cravings for unhealthy foods. Often people experience food cravings because their body becomes deficient in one or more vitamins or minerals. So be sure you refrain this by stocking up on plenty of different foods. One way to do this is to try to take foods of a different color apiece day on your plate.
If you take three different foods on your plate, make sure they are all three different colors; this way you know they all contain different nutrients that will serve your body well.
More Water Please!
Finally, one of the ideal ways to maintain your health is by drinking plenty of water. Most people don’t realize by the time they feel thirsty they are already too dehydrated. You should never get to a point where you feel thirsty. Instead, drink plenty of water during the day so you always maintain hydration.
If you feel the taste of water is too boring, why not try to spice up your water with a few cucumber slices or orange rinds? This always adds a bit of excitement and fun to the day. Still other people find adding several flavors like lime and orange, or cucumber and lemon to their water an excellent fix to something that is ordinarily to bland to tolerate.
If you really must you can add a tiny carbonation to your water, but keep in mind carbonated drinks can sometimes cause fluid retention, not something most people searching for good health want in their diet!
One thing that all can concur on. Keep your diet easy and varied!
Sincerely yours,
Omid

admin Generally, as the weather gets warmer we wear less clothes, so as summer approaches many people want to lose weight and get in shape for the beach. Below are 7 healthy intake tips to help you lose weight during the summer months.
Tip #1: Fresh Fruits are the #1 Snack
Depending on where you live, you likely see a significant improvement in the calibre of the produce offered at your local grocery store during the summer months. Stock up on fruit once or twice a week. Take them to work, take them as snacks, and take them as dessert.
I don’t know about you, but for me a ripe mango taste just as good if not superior than candy or a sugary dessert. And fruit will always have so much more vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water than any processed sugary dessert that comes in a box or bag.
Weight Loss Tip #2: Eat a Salad Once a Day
Just like fruit, the veggies tend to be fresher during the summer months. When you stock up on fruit, also stock up on veggies.
Preparing your own salad at lunch or with dinner is a great way to add tons of fiber and minerals to your diet without adding tons of calories. Starting dinner with a salad is a great way to curb overeating and support weight loss.
Weight Loss Tip #3: Careful with the Cold Drinks
During a hot summer day it’s so simple to reach for something cool and refreshing to drink, but you have to be careful that you’re not drinking too many extra calories. Sweetened Lemonade can pack over 200 calories for a 12 ounce serving.
A can of cover cold Coca Cola has about 140 calories per 12 ounce can. A cold 12 ounce beer has about 150 calories. And if you reach for a blended drink like a cold Pina Colada while you’re sitting at the beach you’ll take in an additional 600 calories.
During the hot summer days try to stay hydrated with mostly water. Drinking mostly water is a great summer weight loss tip.
Tip #4: Careful with the Cold Desserts
Just like cool drinks, during the summer months it seems so simple to reach for cover cream after dinner to cool off. Ice cream tastes good, but it can really wreak havoc on your waistline. An occasional treat is okay, but try not to get the deluxe banana split with whipped cream, caramel, chocolate, fudge, and nuts. If you totally must have cover cream, think about sharing with someone else or purchase 1 dessert for a group of 4. Less is more.
Tip #5: BBQ a Tiny Healthier
BBQ’s are a part of summer that so many people love, but a BBQ doesn’t have to be an excuse for you to pig out on all the bad stuff. Go light on the full fat beef, cheese, potato chips, coke, and beer.
Consider sharing a half of a hamburger or skip the cheese. Always seek out any fresh veggies, and limit yourself to one drink that is not water.
Tip #6: Eat Less When You Dine Out.
First, I will state that preparing your own food will help you to lose weight if you take out often. But, when you do go out to take during the summer months, try to take a tiny less. You can cut back on restaurant calories by eliminating 1 or more courses.
Do you need the bread, appetizers, desserts, and drinks? Ask if you can have the sauce on the side, and try to order something tasty and a tiny healthy.
Tip #7: Aim to Eat 4-5 smaller meals throughout the day.
I know so many people rush off to work with no breakfast, and often skip or have a light lunch. Then at dinner it’s 1000 calories followed by another 500 calories of dessert. Your metabolism doesn’t like massive meals. Try to take 3-4 300-600 calorie meals and 1-2 100-200 calorie snacks throughout the day.
Hopefully, these simple intake tips will help you to lose weight. Of course, if you are really serious about losing weight then you will also incorporate exercise. Walking is a great place to start, and adding weight training will give you a significant boost. Get started and stick with it.

admin Do you ever wonder what happened to the Food Guide Pyramid?
The Food Guide Pyramid was created more than ten years ago by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Pyramid illustrated what the USDA stated were the elements of a healthy diet. The Pyramid was taught in schools, appeared in the media and brochures, on cereal boxes and food labels. It seemed like the absolute final word on what we should really eat.
The Food Guide Pyramid is now like a fairytale. It did not point the way toward healthy eating. We are told now the Food Guide Pyramid was based on shaky scientific evidence. It still has not changed over the years to reflect major advances in our understanding of the connection between diet and good health.
Recently, the USDA retired the old Food Guide Pyramid and replaced it with MyPyramid, a new symbol and “interactive food guidance system. This revision is basically the old Pyramid turned on its side.
Good news about the new MyPyramid:
• It tears apart and buries the flawed Pyramid.
Bad news about the MyPyramid:
• The new MyPyramid does not give us enough information to help us make informed choices about our diet and long-term health.
• It continues to advocate foods that are not essential to good health.
• The food quantities suggested might even be detrimental to our overall health.
So…..what do we take to become and stay healthy?
According to a new dietary guideline released primeval in Jan of 2005:
• We are to continue to concentrate on controlling weight;
• Fats were once considered bad. The new guidelines accentuate low intake of Trans fats and to limit our saturated fats. There is not an artificially low cap on fat intake. The latest advice advocates getting between 20% and 35% of regular calories from fats. The new guidelines also recognize the potential health benefits of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats;
• Complex carbohydrates was a term used in the past that has tiny biological meaning;
• The new guidelines advise Americans to limit sugar intake and stress the benefits of whole grains;
• The guidelines recommend intake half of our grains as refined starch, even though refined starches behave like sugar, add empty calories, have adverse metabolic effects, and increase the risks of diabetes and heart disease.
• The guidelines lump together red meat, poultry, fish, beans and soy products and tell us to judge these accelerator sources by their total fat content. This means to make choices that are lean, low-fat, or fat-free. This advice ignores the evidence that these foods have different types of fats. It also leaves out evidence that replacing red meat with a combination of fish, poultry, beans, and nuts offers numerous health benefits.
So…..if we follow this new dietary guideline we still might not be intake “right,” according to the Harvard School of Public Health. The Harvard School of Public Health nutrition experts created the “Healthy Eating Pyramid.” It is based on the ideal acquirable scientific evidence about the links between diet and health.
The Healthy Eating Pyramid is based upon regular exercise and weight control. Evidence proves regular exercise and weight control influences your chances of staying healthy. They also stress what and how you take and how your food affects you.
Some highlights of the Healthy Eating Pyramid are outlined below:
• Whole grain foods (at most meals).
• Plant oils: Good sources of unsaturated fats include olive, canola, soy, corn, sunflower, peanut, and other vegetable oils and fatty fish such as salmon.
• Vegetables (in abundance) and Fruits (2 to 3 times per day).
• Fish, poultry, and eggs (0 to 2 times per day). Eggs which have been a long time noted as being “bad for you” because they contain evenhandedly high levels of cholesterol, aren’t as bad as once thought to be. An egg for breakfast is much healthier than a bagel prefabricated from refined flour.
• Nuts and Legumes (1 to 3 times) are excellent sources of accelerator and contain healthy fats.
• Dairy or Calcium Supplement (1 to 2 times) Dairy products have been American’s main source of calcium. Cheese has also been another favourite choice for calcium needs. Try to stick with no-fat or low-fat products. If you don’t like farm products, calcium supplements are the way to go.
• Red meat and butter (use sparingly): If you take red meat each day, switch to fish or chicken several times a week to improve cholesterol levels. Switching from butter to olive oil will also improve cholesterol levels.
• White rice, white bread, potatoes, white pasta, soda, and sweets (use sparingly): This group of foods can cause fast and furious increases in blood sugar that can lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic disorders.
• Multiple vitamins: Taking a regular multivitamin, multimineral supplement offers a nutritional backup. They do not replace healthy intake or make up for unhealthy eating. A standard, store-brand, RDA-level is fine. Look for one that meets the stipulations of the U.S. Pharmacopeia, an organization that sets standards for drugs and supplements.
• Alcohol (in moderation): Many studies recommend that having an alcoholic drink a day lowers the risk of heart disease. For men: 1 to 2 drinks a day. For women: One drink a day.
The Healthy Eating Pyramid certainly summarizes the information I personally have been reading recently as the ideal dietary information acquirable to us. It is not something set into stone because nutrition researchers will continue to turn up new information in the years ahead. The Healthy Eating Pyramid will change to reflect the new evidence.
The Healthy Eating Pyramid is not the only up-to-date guide for intake healthy. It does take advantage of more extensive research and offers a broader guide that is not based on a specific culture, such as the Asian, Latin, Mediterranean and vegetarian pyramids.
To sum it all up the number one tip for intake for improving your health would be take foods that have a lot of vitamins and minerals as well as foods that are not high in fat. Exercise moderately.
More Healthy Tips:
• Find the strong points and weak points in your current diet and improve in those areas where you are weak.
• Make small, slow changes.
• Keep track of your food intake by writing down what you take and drink each day. Use this record to help you see where you need to improve.
• If you have medical problems speak it over with your physician or a nutritionist before making any significant changes.
• Good nutrition does not come in a pill. Get your doctor’s suggestions on vitamins and mineral supplements. Your body will benefit the most from intake healthy foods.
• Eat a variety of foods, and learn to try new foods.
• Prepare your meat either by baking, grilling or broiling rather than frying. Take the skin off chicken before eating. Eat fish at least once a week.
• Cut back on extra fat like butter, margarine, sour cream and salad dressings.
• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables with your meals and snacks.
• Drink no- or low-calorie beverages like water, unsweetened tea and diet soda.
• Exercise moderately daily.
Balanced nutrition and regular exercise are good for your health if your weight never changes. Don’t be discouraged because you don’t loose weight after months of regular exercise. The regular exercise offers you a multitude of benefits toward keeping you healthy.

admin Eating healthy does not mean having to take bland tasteless foods or throwing out some of your favorite foods. It does not mean having to spend a fortune on specialty organic foods either. In fact, people can learn to take healthier by making small simple modifications to their current intake habits. Healthy intake should be considered a lifestyle modification and not a short term diet. Rather you want to take healthy in order to lose weight or just improve your health these swift and simple tips will get you started.Eating Healthy Tip #1 ? Reduce Sugar Intake Refined sugar is a processed item that gives you zero nutritional benefit. These empty calories can mount up fast and can risk you go over your total regular calorie intake maximum. Too many calories will create weight gain. Try to limit snacks high in sugar or seek out the sugar free versions of your favorite sweets. Look for the sugars in your beverages as well. A regular flavored pop has up to or exceeds 100 calories and 10 teaspoons of sugar. Drink diet drinks, or superior yet, water. Statistics show that people who switched to diet pop and water instead of regular flavored drinks lost up to 20 pounds in just one year with just this alteration in their lifestyle. Fruit juices can also be high in sugars and calories so minimize these to just one 8 ounce glass a day.Eating Healthy Tip #2 Protein with Each Meal You should have accelerator with apiece meal. Protein requires more energy to digest which means you can burn more calories to process your meal. Protein can come from eggs, beans, lean cuts of meats, fish and even tofu. Eating accelerator not only helps burn more calories but helps to build lean muscle mass. The more lean muscles you have the higher your basal metabolic rate. This is the rate at which your body burns calories during the day with normal activities including sleeping. Your metabolic rate is responsible for 60% to 70% of the total calories you burn in a day.Eating Healthy Tip #3 ? Go Natural Eating foods in their most natural say will give you the most ?bang for your buck?. Meaning you will get a higher nutrient value from the foods in their natural state. When foods are processed they lose a lot of their health benefits and often raise the fat and/or calorie content. As an example, a massive apple has 110 calories, 0 fat grams, 29 carbohydrates, 5 grams dietary fiber and 1 gram of protein. However a massive glass of apple juice has about 150 calories, 0 fat grams, 36 grams of carbohydrates and 0 grams of dietary fiber and protein. So you can see that the processed item there are more calories and carbs and less dietary fiber and protein. Eating Healthy Tip #4 ? Make it Whole While intake foods in their most natural say is the best, there are moments when you will need processed foods. Breads and pastas are good examples of foods that can't come in a natural say as they don?t grow on trees or in the ground. When choosing these processed foods you should find whole grain versions. When foods are prefabricated with 100% whole wheat you are getting more vitamins and minerals than foods prefabricated with processed flour. Wheat in its natural, unrefined say has many nutritional value including dietary fiber and is a great addition for your healthy intake habits.Eating Healthy Eating Tip #5 ? Add Variety Consume a variety of nutrient rich foods. There are more than 40 nutrients that you should consume apiece day. No individual food item can wage all of these nutrients, so make your meal plan varied and rich with nutrients. Be sure to take the fruits and vegetables with all your meals. You need to get accelerator with apiece meal. Protein requires more energy to burn than fat so foods high in accelerator are also great for burning fat. Make sure to get your calcium needs also with milk, cheese and other farm products. Opt for fat free or reduced fat products like skim milk or fat free yogurt. Statistics have shown that people who get 3 to 4 servings in a day of low fat farm items lost more weight than those who did not add farm in their regular diet.
