This article takes a expression at the benefits and downsides to this diet to assist you make up one's mind if it is the right diet program for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The basic conception behind it trusts on something called the "shifting calories theory." In the most basic footing this agency that the diet changes the figure of calories you eat from twenty-four hours to day.  Part of the job with traditional diets is that they cut your gram calorie consumption manner down and as a consequence your metamorphosis decelerates down to counterbalance for the lessening in calories.  The slower your metamorphosis runs the harder it is to lose weight which is why most traditional diets fail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By varying the figure of calories you eat each day, however, you can "trick" your metamorphosis to maintain it from slowing down.  Because your metamorphosis goes on running at a higher charge per unit weight loss goes both faster and easier.  The diet makes a usage repast program that changes both the figure of calories you eat each twenty-four hours and the types of nutrients that you eat to maintain your metamorphosis from slowing.  That is one ground that weight loss haps rapidly on the diet in comparing to traditional diets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Along with being effectual for weight loss the diet also have respective other benefits.  First, it lets you to choose nutrients that you actually like.  Rather than forcing you to eat things that you contemn the usage repast program generator inquires you which nutrients you like best and then constructs the bill of fare around those foods.  When you are eating nutrients that you bask it is easier to lodge with a diet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another alone facet of this diet is that it lets you to eat more than than 3 modern times a twenty-four hours which assists to maintain you from getting hungry between meals.  One of the chief grounds that diets neglect is because people go too hungry and wind up "cheating" so eating frequently throughout the twenty-four hours is a nice benefit to the Fat Loss for Idiots diet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ground behind the name of the diet is that it is supposed to be so easy that an imbecile can make it, and in that regard it is true.  There is no gram calorie counting, measuring or hard cookery involved and your full bill of fare is planned out for you so it necessitates very small work to lodge with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As far as downsides, the Fat Loss for Idiots diet makes have got a few.  The diet itself is not nutritionally balanced and would not be good for a lasting feeding plan.  While it is a nice manner to quickly drop some weight when you travel off the diet you should be after healthy, balanced repasts to keep your weight loss.  Along with that the shapers of it urge "light walking" for exercise.  In order to acquire the top fat loss you would probably also desire to add some strength preparation to your exercises to construct some musculus and acquire your metamorphosis running even faster.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-5331022718458692257?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/5331022718458692257/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=5331022718458692257' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5331022718458692257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5331022718458692257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/11/fat-loss-for-idiots-benefits-and.html' title='Fat Loss for Idiots - The Benefits and the Downsides'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-3304848312524676530</id><published>2007-11-15T14:48:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-15T14:48:58.314-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hearing loss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='speechreading'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='listening'/><title type='text'>Hearing Loss - Good Listening</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hearing loss haps to most people gradually over a time period of 15-20 years.  Perhaps you once loved going to political parties and now you happen yourself declining invitations and making alibis not to go.  Perhaps you enjoyed going to Christian church but now happen yourself not wanting to go.  It haps so slowly that you don't even recognize it!  15-20 old age is a long time...can you retrieve something that you were doing 15-20 old age ago that you're calm doing today?  Not doing today?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I happen when inviting friends over for dinner, I almost coerce them to remain around the dining room tabular array to speak after dinner rather than moving to the life room.  I can hear them so much better around the dining room tabular array than across the sweep of the life room.  Our life room is not large by any stretch of the imagination, but it is enough of a distance to do a immense difference on being able to hear everyone well.  I was so comfy and relaxed around the dining room table, keeping up with conversation fairly well and now the idea of moving away from that agency that I will have got to work difficult to listen again.  Sigh, make I have got to?  It is of import to pass on with your friends and household and explicate that it is better for you to remain around the dining room table.  So far, no 1 have ever had a job when I advert it.  I often acquire the response such as as "I never thought of that before", "I didn't cognize that", "That assists me to break understand your hearing loss, thanks for sharing".  I am usually filled with a great sense of alleviation and joyousness that "they understand".  I often agonise whether or not to state anything, and then I when I prison guard up my courageousness to state something, they are so insouciant and understanding, "Sure, no problem", that I believe to myself, "Whew, why did I wait so long?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I often state people that I must be able to see you in order to hear you.  I trust heavily on speechreading (also known as "lip reading") rather than just on my hearing.  People presume that while I am wearing hearing aids, I hear what they do.  That is not true.  While hearing AIDS aid me hear by amplifying sounds and concerted with my speechreading Iodine "hear" what is happening in my world.  Also, I state people, talking to me in a normal voice, mouthing or over-doing articulation is just as bad as mumbling.  Pronounce every name with care.  Brand a mention to the name for easier understanding, as Joan "the miss from the office" or Joe "the chap from the diner".  Joe and Joan sound a small alike and they look similar when speechreading so giving me a small more than information assists me a lot.  Bash not effort to talk while you have got something in your mouth, such as as a pipe, cigar, cigarette, or chewing gum.  Bash not cover your oral cavity with your hand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good hearing may necessitate a small practice.  It is an active procedure requiring both political parties to be alert and attentive to the other.  Try and just listen.  It necessitates being fully attentive and focused on the speaker.  It may necessitate pattern to concentrate your energy on the speaker, particularly if the talker is moving around the room, have an accent, or is too far away.  It is of import to make your best and be patient with yourself.  It may look hard at first because we are so used to being able to make three things at once while we are listening (back in the 'ol hearing days').  Now you must make only one thing and that is "just listen".  It is of import to listen with comprehension of what is being said.  Our encephalons work faster than we speak so it is alluring to disrupt the talker with something we desire to say.  Instead of saying something, just sit down and listen.  This is a good exercising for you to better your hearing skills.  When we have got a hearing loss, we cannot listen effectively to more than than one thing at a time.  I cannot ticker a telecasting show and listen to my hubby while he is talking.  It is best for me to make one thing or another, but not both at the same time.  Listening can be difficult work, so be gentle with yourself and give yourself a break.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I am listening to a speaker, I will usually nod my caput to demo that I am listening with understanding.  It's also known as being an "active listener".  I am letting the talker cognize that I heard and understood what was said.  If I were to listen to a talker talking about a topic that I am unfamiliar with, I would not be cernuous as I would not understand what is being said.  In this lawsuit I would be a "passive listener".  It is of import for the talker to understand that if he sees a batch of "active listeners" in the audience, he is probably being understood.  If he were to see a batch of "passive listeners", he probably should change his presentation.  These are the sorts of things to state your household and friends so they can better understand what assists you understand and hear what they are saying.  Are you an "active listener"?  Ask your household and friends.  It would be interesting to hear what they have got to state in this regard.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-3304848312524676530?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/3304848312524676530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=3304848312524676530' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3304848312524676530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3304848312524676530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/11/hearing-loss-good-listening.html' title='Hearing Loss - Good Listening'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-4011002968175671331</id><published>2007-11-14T18:43:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-14T18:43:27.958-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='skin care tips and advice'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural skin care products'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='top skin products'/><title type='text'>Top Skin Care Products</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt; &lt;p&gt;Skin attention merchandises that tin do your tegument clearer, smoother and vernal looking.

Your friends or household may propose certain diets or governments that have got worked for them, but be aware they may not work for you.  But which one should I choose?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this human race where we are obsessed with our weight and our looks, we are constantly reminded in the media, in the press, and on the telecasting in fact everywhere we go.  That our organic structure mass and organic structure weight is too much and that if we were slimmer we would be happier with ourselves and possibly more than successful.  It all have an impact on our confidence, our personality and our lifestyle, but what are the right diet programmes for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Surfing the Internet you can see there are so many Diet programmes and regimes.  For illustration there is the Atkins diet, the Cambridge University diet, there are diet pills, and balanced diets, three-day diets, detox diets, soup diets, chou diets, diet recipes, cholesterin diets, juice diets, Citrus paradisi diets, gestation diets, dessert diets, convenient diets, and even diet Coke.  Hey, there is just too much to take from.  But which one make I take and which one make I choose?  You can pass hours and years searching for the ideal diet program only to happen out it is not the right 1 for you.  Ninety five percentage of all people that start a diet will restart with different diet looking for the "right 1 " for them.  So obviously the first diet did not work long term.  It is a phase, it is something people are prepared to have got a spell at and see if they acquire any results, and if it makes not work they travel on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every dieter necessitates to educate him or herself first and first about what a Diet programmes are how what one will work for them.  You necessitate to put your parametric quantities and acquire your guidelines organized.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) You necessitate to state to yourself first, how much weight makes I desire to lose.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2) In what clip span make I desire to lose this weight?  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 3) Where make I desire to lose the weight from?  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 4) Volition it impact my life style and will it impact my human relationships with people sharing with me the experience of a diet plan.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you sorted out your guidelines of what you are looking for, you necessitate to screen out what types of programs are out there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are famishment diets; which if you cut down drastically your consumption of nutrient over a short clip period of time you will lose weight but will set back on as soon as you halt that diet plan.  Usually on a famishment diet; you are not working at the fat content.  You are actually working on the H2O keeping within the muscles.  So you loose musculus majority and strength which demoes up on the scales of measurement as a lose in weight.  But this is not fat lose only H2O weight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other Diet programmes state you to cut down your gram calorie intake.  Sounds straightforward?  Everyone believes calories are the answer, but by reducing your gram gram calorie intake, your organic structure will accommodate so the personal effects would be if you reduced you calorie consumption by a thousand calories a week, your organic structure will acquire used to having a thousand calories less and once burned those any surplus calories are ego defeating.  You are not burning the calories you thought you might have got had.  Your organic structure is adapting to fewer calories.  Result, you don't lose weight.

The Atkins diet was introduced to cut down weight rapidly in obese people or corpulence people before bosom surgery.  Yes it works.  But again, the program would intend eating certain meats or certain nutrient groupings and cutting out others.  Interesting enough, you can eat plentifulness of one sort of nutrient like meat, but you won't be able to happen the other addendums and vitamins of a normal balanced diet and will have got to take addendums instead to tout your vitamins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cabbage soup diet makes work.  Dieters mainly lodge to a H2O based diet of soups and fruit to cut down weight.  The side personal effects may be headaches as your organic structure detoxifies taking out the toxins and waste materials that have been left in your organic structure and had not been able to blush out.  The H2O based diet takes out those toxins making you experience healthier increasing the consciousness of your taste sensation buds once you complete your diet.  Your nutrient cravings will reduce, but it makes have got side personal effects such as as headaches.  It is not recommended for any clip period of time more than seven days.

They're not based on balanced feeding plans.  You shouldn't exercise yourself when you're on one because they can set emphasis on your body.  And you should never remain one for more than than a week.  Most of import of all though, BEFORE you establish one of the diets promising fast weight loss, visit your physician and acquire medical advice.  Here are three of the most popular fast weight loss diets:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Three Day Diet is the simplest of the three diets.  It dwells of an exact bill of fare for three days.  Each breakfast is one little amount of protein, one starch, and one fruit.  On one twenty-four hours you'll have got an egg, 1/2 of a banana, a piece of toast, and achromatic coffee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lunch is even less.  It's a little amount of protein and a starch.  For one luncheon you're recommended to have got 1/2 cup Opuntia tuna and a piece of toast along with your achromatic coffee.  Dinner is a small different.  You will have got a bigger serving of protein, 2 helpings of vegetables, a fruit, and a cup of regular vanilla water ice cream.  I personally believe it's also one of the strangest diets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, there are more than of these diets that also have got their quirks.  One is the Chicken Soup Diet.  This is based on a complex formula for poulet soup.  You acquire some picks of different breakfasts, and then you eat as much soup as you desire the remainder of the day.  One breakfast for the Chicken Soup Diet might be Entire cereal, nonfat milk, and juice.  A different 1 would be yogurt, fruit, and corn germ.  When it come ups to diets for fast weight loss, with the exclusion of breakfast this 1 have zero assortment and is boring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Grapefruit Diet is one of the most Byzantine of the 3 fast weight loss diets.  There's a batch to remember, and it's all considered important.  For instance, there's a certain amount of Citrus paradisi or other specified juice to eat with each meal.  You're warned not to eat more than or less than what's suggested.  Otherwise, it's said the diet will not work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, you're not allowed to take anything away from the diet.  If you don't desire to eat two pieces of bacon with your breakfast - too bad.  They claim you won't fire fat if you don't accede precisely to the diet, including feeding the bacon.  Hmmm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A diet like this is difficult to understand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You're also advised to imbibe 8 eight-ounce spectacles of H2O every day, but only 1 cup of java at a meal.  Butter can be used as a condiment, or to Fry foods.  You're only allowed to eat at repast time; no snacking except the drink at bedtime.  You're given two lists: one of nutrients you can eat and one of nutrients you cannot eat.  Yet, on this "accelerated" weight loss diet you're encouraged to eat until you're full at any meal.  Again Iodine say...hmmm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You're warned not to eat certain nutrients at the same clip they claim the more than than you eat (of the "allowed" foods), the more you fat you burn.  Breakfast on this diet is grapefruit, 2 eggs, and 2 bacon slices.  That's the basic guideline however; they also bespeak you can eat as much eggs and bacon as you wish.  Are this also confusing to you?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lunch is grapefruit, salad, and meat.  Dinner is grapefruit, meat, and a salad or vegetable.  You acquire a bedtime bite of tomato juice or nonfat milk.  Yippee!  Let's human face it - you'll be hungry regardless which of the diets you try.  They're extremely restrictive with very, very small nutrient variety.

You are now one of those different people who transports their nutrient around with them so that you will almost never lose a repast and you will always be able to fuel your organic structure correctly and precisely and go the fat incinerating musculus edifice machine that you desire.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your nutrient carry system basically dwells of a ice chest type bag, individual nutrient containers, Shakers and protein pulverization containers, addendum containers and cutlery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few convenient practical intimations to see are as follows.  The first consideration is size.  A nutrient container necessitates to be large adequate to transport all that you necessitate but not so large that it is more than problem to Lug everywhere than necessary.  To this end you may desire to see having different sizes of nutrient bearers for different days.  The other critical factor in footing of size is how your existent nutrient boxes suit inside the container.  The absolute key to a good set-up is matching your nutrient containers to your bag exactly.  The tantrum should be cubby with minimum motion as this volition save eternal cleansing of your bag.  If you are getting it all from the same store, take the prospective ice chest bags you are looking at to the container subdivision and seek them all out to guarantee you acquire a good fit.  Ideally, if you can hive away your mover and shaker together with your nutrient that's great but the greater precedence is containers that tantrum well with the bag you select.  Finally you should do certain your bag have enough pockets for supplements, cutter and other spots and pieces.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for Shakers there are many inexpensive Shakers about that expression just like the better 1s but are in fact inferior.  A good quality mover and shaker have a impudent top eyelid that should lock tight (you should be able to tip it upside down whilst filled and the eyelid remains locked).  It also have a good India rubber gasket in the rim of the prison guard top half.  Many cheap, crappy Shakers have got no gasket or a completely uneffective harder plastic 1 that makes nothing.  Proper Shakers should have got mesh style grillroom as opposing to a sociable type insert as protein agitates be given to froth more than you like anyway so making the foaming worse is pointless.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a tendency also for the grillroom to be integrated into the prison guard top eyelid which is not really a great thing as you necessitate to maintain pulling it out to make clean which overcomes the intent of securing it there in the first place.  Also the grillroom in the eyelid is sometimes used to replace for a gasket but doesn't really make the occupation all that well.  A criterion trade name with the characteristics listed is the Ultimate Shaker.  These are often re-branded with addendum company Son but the spectacles are the same.  One concluding tip regarding Shakers is if you are using multiple powers, happen out which 1s premix the best and set them in first, as they are lest likely to bunch at the bottom.  Of course of study putting the H2O in first is always best but if you are carrying material around this is not always possible.  There are some Shakers with a separate compartment on the bottom, which is handy, but I am yet to see one with an adequate grillroom and I don't cognize about the gaskets on them either.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In footing of cutlery, I prefer to utilize plastic so I can just dump the pitchfork in the box after I complete without worrying about keeping it make clean or dirtying up a compartment.  You can utilize metallic element of course of study especially if you eat steaks or poulet filets without cutting them up first before packing material them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are taking a figure of addendums I happen it easiest to transport them in the plastic pill containers with the separate compartments and small doors for easy dosing.  I also happen it easiest to purchase a whole clump and pre-pack them all so I am not forever opening eternal addendum bottles every day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the end it come ups down to something so simple - you don't transport your food, you don't succeed.  You cognize what to make and how to make powerful fat loss and musculus edifice programs now you just have got to carry them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-8753755649208201091?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/8753755649208201091/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=8753755649208201091' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/8753755649208201091'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/8753755649208201091'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/11/nutrition-your-food-carrier-your-new.html' title='Nutrition - Your Food Carrier, Your New Best Friend'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-8308649753420132564</id><published>2007-11-01T18:50:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-01T18:50:58.586-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='skin care'/><title type='text'>Skin Care - A To Z Of Chemical Peeling - Part 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt; &lt;p&gt;Chemical desquamation is one of the popular cosmetics processes to take old tegument and acquire a fresh new skin.

Some of these diets include low gram calorie diets, high fibre diets, no protein diets, no carb diets, and even the "eat this bantam piece of cracker and lose 30 lbs tomorrow" diets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, I'm sorry to state these diets might work the first hebdomad or so, but make not anticipate any more than consequences past that.  These type of diets be given to do people lose H2O weight, which is the first type of weight to travel since it is easiest to lose.  Thus, when people diet for a hebdomad or so, they will lose a couple of lbs right off the chiropteran and experience great.  But come up that 3rd or 4th week, they haven't lost a single pound, they inquire why and go depressed.  The ground for this is H2O weight.  All the H2O weight left their organic structure and now those low gram calorie diets, or nutrient grouping turning away diets are hurting them.  When your organic structure misses a cardinal ingredient, it closes its metamorphosis down to a very low velocity because it isn't functioning properly.  Or, with a low gram calorie diet, your organic structure experiences as if it is going into a "starvation mode".  It closes down its metamorphosis and will actually get to hive away the low amount of calories as fat.  It's simply nature and portion of survival.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The newest fad however is the Fatloss4idiots diet, or the new life style diet as its called.  This diet dwells of shifting calories around rather then cutting them out all together.  Shifting calories maintains your organic structure guessing whats coming next.  When your organic structure is not stuck to the same routine, it will run its metamorphosis high to maintain up with what might come up next.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have got got reviewed the fatloss4idiots diet at http://www.burnfatbefit.com and have noticed great results.  By shifting calories and using this specific programs features, people are losing up to a lb a twenty-four hours in a very healthy nature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If this is something you are interested in then i highly urge reviewing the land site on your ain time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-2117256151680241131?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/2117256151680241131/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=2117256151680241131' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2117256151680241131'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2117256151680241131'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/10/new-life-style-diet.html' title='The New Life Style Diet'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-2124961641460799561</id><published>2007-09-26T09:36:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-26T09:36:13.416-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fat loss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fast weight loss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healthy weight loss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lose 5 pounds in 1 week'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural weight loss'/><title type='text'>How To Lose 5 Pounds In 1 Week - Quick And Healthy?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt; &lt;p&gt;Are you, just like I was, misled by the eye-catching headlines about diets that states – Lose Ten lbs in small or no time?  Of course of study you are, but why?  Bashes it do any sense to believe that you could lose 10 lbs of fat in a hebdomad when you cognize that it can't be done, at least not in a healthy way?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this article I will demo you that there actually are ways to lose weight fast but that it is not healthy for you.  We could do a deal, well, it is you that have got to do a trade with yourself.  I will demo you a method that warrants a weight loss of at least 5 lbs per hebdomad inch the healthiest manner (not meaning that it is healthy but better than tons of other diets) and you will also larn why a superfast weight loss is unsafe to your wellness and the do's and don'ts in fast weight loss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, as promised, the fast weight loss diet: This diet is composed to rush up your metamorphosis and it must be followed exactly.  You may not utilize any spices except salt and peppers.  It is of import to retrieve to imbibe a batch of water, preferably H2O that is isotonic, meaning that it have added minerals that do it chemically look like you organic structure fluids.  To give this diet a encouragement be certain to make some cardio exercising to spped up the fat combustion process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is the menu:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Day 1:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Breakfast: ½ grapefruit, One toast (no butter), 2 teaspoons of peanut-butter&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lunch: Five Florida oz of tuna-fish, 1 toast.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Dinner: 3 oz beef cattle (lean), 10 Florida oz greenness beans, 10 Florida oz beetroot, 1 little apple, 10 Florida oz vanilla ice-cream&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Day 2:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Breakfast: 1 boiled egg, 1 toast, ½ banana&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lunch: 10 Florida oz bungalow cheese, 5 salty crackers&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Dinner: 2 hot dogs, 10 Florida oz broccoli, 5 Florida oz carrots, 5 Florida oz banana, 5 Florida oz vanilla ice-cream&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Day 3:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Breakfast: 1 boiled egg, 1 toast&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lunch: 5 pieces of cheddar-cheese, 5 salty crackers, 1 little apple&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Dinner: 10 Florida oz tuna-fish(conserved in water), 10 Florida oz beetroot, 10 Florida oz cauliflower, 5 Florida oz honey melon, 5 Florida oz vanilla ice-cream.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like mentioned before it is very of import to follow this diet like it is written above, if it is altered in any manner it may not work for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now you will larn why this diet is not healthy.  First of all it do you lose weight faster than the organic structure can fire fat.  Even if you imbibe a lot, the weight loss will dwell of 20% fat, 40% H2O and 40% thin muscle.  So let's state that you lost 5 pounds, according to the per centum above you lost 1 lb of fat, 2 lbs of H2O weight and 2 lbs of thin muscle.  Did you desire to lose that much muscle?  Probably not.  All of the diets making you lose more than than 1-2 lbs per hebdomad will fire your musculus mass for energy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, why is that?  The organic structure salvages the fat stored in your organic structure for a rainy twenty-four hours (starvation period) and if you are on a diet and don't exert and usage your musculus to the fullest extent your organic structure figs that the musculus is not necessary to salvage and it will begin using it for energy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The diet above could be executed once a hebdomad but it will not give you a long-lasting weight loss.  To lose weight for good you have got got to compose your bill of fare to have the right amount of protein, the right sorts of fat and some great carbs.  Those three foods cover our sum gram calorie intake.  To be a successful dieter(meaning that the fat is burnt and not the muscle) you should cut down your gram gram calorie ingestion by 10-20% and addition your calorie consumption, and how make you make that?  Well, you have got to begin exercising and make some weight-lifting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now you cognize how to lose weight fast (I vouch that the bill of fare above works) so halt looking for any more than fast weight loss diets.

The followers is just a partial listing of some of sugar's effects from a assortment of medical diaries and other scientific publications.  To happen out more than about why refined sugar is an dependence and how it disturbances your whole organic structure chemistry, read "Lick The Sugar Habit" by Nancy Appleton, PhD.  The research in her book contributed to this article.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1.  Sugar can stamp down the immune system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is probably the most of import ground to avoid sugar, whether you are trying to lodge to a low carb diet or not.  The information here come ups from two different research undertakings that have got been done at Loma Linda University.  The research evaluated the personal effects of refined sugar on phagocytes, the achromatic blood cells of the immune system that eat up bad bacterium and foreign invaders.  To set it simply, the more than bacterium consumed by the phagocytes, the stronger the immune system, and the less opportunity for disease.  One of the Loma Linda surveys showed that refined sugar caused the phagocytic index to drop dramatically which had a negative consequence on the amount of dust that could be removed by the immune system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.  Sugar can upset the body's mineral balance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Minerals such as as calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, Fe and Zn are important to bodily functions.  If there is a deficit of just one of these minerals, the full system can be thrown out of balance.  With just two teaspoons of sugar, micronutrients in the organic structure can change radically, throwing the blood chemical science out of balance.  Some mineral degrees increase, some decrease, and delicate ratios are upset.  So, even a small refined sugar can negate the personal effects of consuming other Ca or mineral supplements.  If you are on a low carb diet and concerned about getting adequate of the right nutrients, this is another good ground to avoid sugar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.  Sugar can do hyperactivity, anxiety, and concentration troubles in children.  Oh, and did we mention, obesity?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take a expression at Saturday morning time television advertisements or the breakfast merchandises on grocery shop store shelves and it looks that sugary cereal grasses are portion of the criterion American diet for children.  Sugar Smacks, Cap 'N Crunch, Corn Pops, Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms and Trix are just a few of the cereal grasses loaded with refined sugar that are still being eaten by children everywhere before they head off to school.  Even something as healthy as burgoo is full of refined sugar in those blink of an eye spirit assortment packs.  You may believe burgoo is a good low carb, high fibre food, but once the refined sugar is sprinkled on it, burgoo is no longer portion of a low carb diet.  In addition, expression at all the refined refined sugar being consumed by children in sodium carbonates and other merchandises that are loaded with high fruit sugar maize syrup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Writing for The Diary of Abnormal Psychology in 1986, J. Emma Goldman noted in "Behavioral Effects of Sucrose on Preschool Children" that a dose of sugar equivalent to that establish in a 12-ounce sodium carbonate did indeed interrupt the public presentation of children at school.  It caused their concentration degrees to diminish and their inappropriate behaviours to increase.  It is of import to observe that in 1976 the refined refined refined sugar industry establish it was less dearly-won to do sugar from maize than from common beets or sugar cane.  Since then, high fruit sugar maize sirup have replaced saccharose as a sweetening in processed nutrients and sodas.  It have been shown that fruit sugar causes the achromatic blood cells of the immune system to go inactive and not able to support the organic structure against noxious intruders.  Anyone on a low carb diet should watch out for high fruit sugar maize syrup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.  Sugar can rush the ageing process, causing furrows and grey hair.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When refined sugar is consumed on a regular footing the pancreas can go over stimulated and secrete too much insulin.  Excess insulin can do a driblet in normal blood refined refined sugar degrees and hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, may develop.  Symptoms of hypoglycaemia can include fatigue, memory failure, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, tremors, headaches and depression.  These may sound like diseases of the elderly, but more than than and more immature people are experiencing these warning signs.  If you detect any of these symptoms, seek removing refined sugar from your diet and see what happens.  If nil else, sticking to a low carb diet with less refined sugar will probably give you more than energy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5.  Sugar can do arthritis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Arthritis is another disease that have been linked to old age, but now there are many indicants that refined sugar is playing a function in little people developing creaky symptoms.  As mentioned earlier, a organic structure that is suffering a mineral instability may bring forth redness in the bones, articulations and gristle owed to the accretion of toxic minerals, mostly calcium.  Once again, the delicate mineral balance have been disquieted by too much sugar.  When one mineral decreases, another may increase, and in some cases, extra Ca will stop up in joints, causing creaky spurs and other jobs associated with os diseases.  Simply eliminating refined refined sugar and consuming a low carb diet, may ensue in weight loss, which will assist take some of the emphasis off those achy knee joints and ankles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is just a short listing of the many ways that sugar lends to wellness challenges.  It is difficult to avoid refined sugar in nutrients being sold at grocery store stores.  However, on the Internet, you can happen low carb foods, healthy bites for a child, nutrition for jocks and other all natural nutrients that are not loaded with refined sugar.  Rich Person you ever heard of stevia sweetener?  It is the 1 sweetening that may actually be good for maintaining normal blood refined sugar levels, and healthy for anyone on a low carb diet.  Stevia sweetening is not an unreal sweetening as it is made from the stevia plant.  Primarily grown in Peru, stevia have been used by indigenous peoples of South United States for centuries as a sweetening for their nutrients and beverages.  So, there are ways to avoid over ingestion of sugar, but it takes some diligence and awareness.  Watch out for high fruit sugar maize syrup, dextroglucose and dextrin.  These are just as bad for you as eating refined, achromatic refined sugar right out of the bag.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-1453598064405819848?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/1453598064405819848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=1453598064405819848' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/1453598064405819848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/1453598064405819848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/09/low-carb-diet-tips-5-ways-sugar.html' title='Low Carb Diet Tips - 5 Ways A Sugar Addiction Ruins Health'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-6952660887794526814</id><published>2007-09-19T09:05:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-19T09:05:01.590-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daily diabetic diet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='controlling diabetes with diet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1200 diabetic diet plan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diabetes type ii diet'/><title type='text'>Diabetes Type II Diet - Putting The Food Pyramid To Good Use</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt; &lt;p&gt;One of the challenges of Type two diabetes is using a reasonable and healthy diet that is as stopping point as possible to a "normal" diet.

Coffee, tea, water, juice, warm broth, kefir, or Heaven forbid - diet soda?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just how of import is the first thing we consume in the morning?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What we take in our organic structures in the morning, or whenever it is that we arise, put the tone of voice for the full day.  It's always of import to interrupt a fast (breakfast) with something that volition be alimentary and not lurid to the system.  Our first drink assists make the pH scale balance of the body, otherwise known as the acid-base balance (we desire to be in a more than alkaline state) but also it impacts the microbial terrain, or flora, of the gastro-intestinal system.  Both of these factors have got got a large impact on our mental clarity, mood, our immune system and our current state of health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More people than not have jobs with an imbalanced ecology in the gastrointestinal tract.  You probably make too if you have got any of the followers (and it is most likely candida giantism - aka barm overgrowth):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Poor Memory, Bad Breath, Perennial fistula problems, Adrenal/Thyroidproblems, Hyperactivity (especially in kids), Frequent Colds &amp;amp; Flu, Gas/Bloating, Irritability, Temper Swings, Indigestion, Lethargic/Laziness, Ulcers, Insomnia, Chemical Sensitivity, Constipation, Feeling anti-social, Endometriosis, Diarrhea, Puffy Eyes, Vaginal Yeast, Colitis, Respiratory Problems, premenstrual syndrome and Menstrual Problems, Hormone Imbalance, No Sexual Activity Drive, Skin upsets like psoriasis and eczema, and roseolas and hives, Other Allergies, Diabetes, Frequent ear aches, Low Blood Sugar, Fatigue(Chronic), Cystitis, Food Cravings, Jacob Epstein Barroom Virus, Burning Eyes, Heartburn, Thrush/Gum/Mouth problems, Hiatal Hernia, Asthma, Intestinal Pain, Dry Mouth, Hemorrhoids, Finger/Toenail Fungus, Headaches, Over and Under Weight, Over-all Bad Feeling with Depression, Lupus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What we drink/eat the first thing in the morning time should be something that is alive.  It should have got the ability to line and dwell our intestine with good bacteria, or good flora.  It's the good bacterium that maintains the giantism of other bugs - such as as candida - in check.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What would that be?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--Kefir (like a liquid yoghurt bought in Whole Foods and other wellness nutrient stores)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Yogurt - preferably plain&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Acidophilus Tablets (Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bifidus) with water&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Juice from cultured vegetables: culturedvegetables.com  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Coconut H2O from immature coconut meats &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Coconut Kefir&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why alkalinize?  We desire to make an alkaline environment in our organic structure for respective reasons.  Being alkaline can forestall or assist dainty many degenerative statuses such as as cancer, bosom disease, arthritis, kidney rocks and saddle sore stones.  Cancer cannot last in an alkaline environment.  Many pathogenic beings cannot be in an alkaline environment.  Acid statuses take to degenerative diseases, especially arthritis and kidney/gallstones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What makes an acidic environment?  Coffee, tea, sodas, meats, desserts, sugars, chemicals, medications, ideas - and how about stress?  Just thinking stress-filled ideas can increase sourness degrees in the body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These acid degrees are not just about the acid in the stomach.  The full organic structure have varying degrees of pH.  The organic structure plant difficult at maintaining a blood pH scale of 7.4.  So much so that it will draw from other countries of the organic structure to maintain that blood pH scale fairly constant.  It will work by depositing and withdrawing acid and alkaline minerals from other locations including the bones, soft tissues, organic structure fluids and saliva.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So the pH scale of these other tissues fluctuate.  All word forms of arthritis are associated with extra acidity.  Acid in the organic structure resolves both dentition and bones, so this is also a factor in osteoporosis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How make we take extra acidity?  Eating alkalinizing nutrients (also name acid-binding foods) is the best way.  Here are very high degree acid-binding foods: Oysters, Unpasteurized dairy farm from cows, sheep, goats, achromatic breadstuff bread, coconut, black radish, spinach, endive, tomato, dandelion, figs, citrus fruit fruits, root vegetables, sweet potato, olives, greens&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eat natural nutrients - fresh fruit, nuts, sprouts, and veggie juices.  Cooked whole nutrients work too.  Especially veggies and certain grains.  Once alkalinized through food, then travel the alkaline status throughout the organic structure by:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--Exercise&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Massage&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Yoga&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mobilize the lymphatic system in the organic structure (a circulatory system designed to cleanse the organic structure of toxins) by using a mini-trampoline also called a rebounder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rest the digestive system by once a hebdomad doing just organically grown fruits and veggie juices.  This assists to neutralize the acidity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How can we easily alkalinize?  Drink drinks first thing in the morning time that are alkalizing.  Some good drinks to alkalinize your organic structure are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--Orange juice, and to alkalinize additional squeezing lemon in it&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Water with lemon.  If you desire a hot beverage, drink hot H2O with lemon.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Certain teas.  Kukicha (Twig) tea, Green teas&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Vegetable broth.  Boil cabbage, carrots, onions together and drink the broth.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Vegetable juices, preferably fresh and organic - greenish is great&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How make we cognize if we are acerb or alkaline?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Measuring the pH scale of the spit gives us a window into our susceptibleness to degenerative diseases.  Here's how to prove your spit pH:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--Wait two hours after eating or imbibing juices.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Fill your oral cavity with spit and get down it a few modern times to do certain it is clean.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --Put clean spit onto pH scale scale scale scale paper&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; --The pH paper should turn bluish which would bespeak that your spit is slightly alkalic with a healthy pH of 7.4.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-5895564738879180128?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/5895564738879180128/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=5895564738879180128' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5895564738879180128'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5895564738879180128'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/09/your-morning-beverage.html' title='Your Morning Beverage'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-2551267100404561379</id><published>2007-09-11T09:11:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-11T09:11:51.934-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='test'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='urine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kits'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='home'/><title type='text'>What Could A Urine Sample Do For Your Health?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt; &lt;p&gt;From a medical point of view, piss is like an unfastened book to the body's wellness status, and there are a assortment of disease or complaints that tin be diagnosed by the analysis of a simple piss sample.

Back in the twenty-four hours some were absolutely awful, like their original baking hot premix that tasted like chemicals.  I'll never bury how a few of their bite parallel bars that contained so much refined sugar alcoholic beverage I spent a batch of clip catching up on my bathroom reading, because the after-effects kept me there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not only did many of them savor bad, they were also overpriced.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But as clip went on the spirits improved.  The Atkins people may have got got oversaturated the marketplace at first, but they seemed committed to improving their products.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now we have their two up-to-the-minute low-carb products, and they're the best yet.  One is even a place run.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The existent victor is the Atkins Advantage Café Caramel Latte Shake.  Each single-serve 11-ounce tin costs $1.87, and the serving have 160 calories, 9g fat (1.5 saturated, zero trans), 5mg cholesterol, 120mg sodium, 720mg potassium, 4g saccharide (2 fiber, 1 sugar, zero refined refined sugar alcohol) and 15g protein.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You also acquire 15 to 40 percentage of the Recommended Daily Values of 24 vitamins and minerals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I love java and caramel, so the spirit was extremely appealing to me. The texture is not thick like a shake; the consistence is more than like plane milk.  And did you see the amount of refined sugar alcohol?  ZERO, none, zip, zilch.  How did they make that?  There's only one gramme of sugar, but it savors sweet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My only ailment is that it have a flimsy tinny taste, I say from the tin it's in, but that isn't adequate to maintain me from purchasing this product.  I like it, it's healthy and as a breakfast substitution it kept me full all morning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Atkin's other new merchandise is a Peanut Fudge Granola Bar.  I'm not so much in love with this, mostly because of the nutrition numbers: 200 calories, 10g fat (5 saturated, zero trans), zero cholesterol, 150mg sodium, 17g saccharide (7 fiber, 1 sugar, zero refined refined sugar alcohol) and 16g protein.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I cognize the whole point of the Atkins weight loss method is low carbs, but that's just too much saturated fat for one granola bar.  Also, the cocoa on the outside doesn't savor chocolaty, just sweet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But keep'em coming, Atkins!

Steve was a legitimate concern magnate.  He have and runs 35 different companies with transnational operations.  I agreed to ran into Steve for dinner 1 eventide to catch up on household and business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He sat up in his place while we each ordered a glass of Pinot Grape Noir as our conversation drifted my extended travels.  But I was more than interested in his dumbfounding ability to pull off his life and work so efficiently.  At one point in our conversation, I asked, "How make you larn new skills, sharpen old 1s and maintain abreast of the up-to-the-minute thoughts in business?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I am on a low information diet", Steve replied without hesitating.  "Put down your vino so you don't choke.  I am going to allow you in on a secret that changed my career.  I have got bought one book in the last five years, in the Mile-High City International Airport and only because it gave me a price reduction on a Diet Coke."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"That's crazy!

I had to acquire a clasp of Steve's secret weapon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is not adequate to read.  What you read must be relevant and important.  If it isn't, don't read it.  Information is useless if it is not applicable to something of import or if you bury it before you have got the opportunity use it.  I used to have got the wont of reading a book from screen to cover just for the interest of saying I read every word.  Often, I would necessitate to reread the same book when I finally needed the information.  This was stupid and redundant.  When I broke this bad habit, I became more than effectual and efficient with my time.  With well-written book summaries, I reserve a batch more of the content than I ever did reading a book from screen to cover.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From this point forward, I'm going to suggest you develop the eldritch ability to be selectively ignorant.  Ignorance may be bliss, but it is also practical and very effective.  It is imperative you larn to concentrate on information that tin work out your problems, progress your concern goals, and encouragement your personal wealth.  Executive book summaries will assist you make all three.  I read 5,000-word, eight-page black and white summaries in just 15 proceedings or listen to specially scripted audio summaries in about 20 proceedings - and nil more.  With book summaries I am able to keep a optical maser focusing on information that is relevant to my professional goals.  In five years, I have got not had a job owed to this selective ignorance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As our dinner conversation came to an end that fateful evening, I concluded I needed to take my alteration my information diet and addition my appetency for book summaries.  Boy, have got I saved a batch of time.

Top 3 Gross Vices</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you desire to be skinny and healthy, you necessitate to allow travel of your gross vices.  While there are many gross frailties to eliminate, coffee, cheese, and refined refined sugar are certainly on the top of the list.  These "foods" are highly cooked and processed.  They are extremely addictive, and you're complicating your life by letting them acquire a clasp of you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you allow travel of your dependences to cooked and processed foods, you will fully experience and truly bask the scrumptious spirits natural fruits and leafy vegetable have got to offer.  When we eat these perfect foods, we work optimally—no More shrewish cravings, temper swings, refined sugar imbalances, or fatty globules that set us off on the way of ego loathing.  Tender natural fruits and leafy leafy vegetable will convey you manner more satisfaction than any cooked nutrient you believe you can't dwell without.  What's more, you'll finally be skinny and healthy, focusing on life your life instead of life for your adjacent cooked-food fix.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let's analyze these top 3 gross vices:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;COFFEE&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Face it—coffee do your breath stink like a sewer.  Aside from its offense personal effects on your breath, it's also highly acidic.  High sourness in the organic structure causes you to go fat as you bring forth more than fat cells to protect your variety meat from the acidity.  If this isn't a good adequate ground to give up coffee, how about this 1 . . .  it's ladle with chemical pesticides as the edible beans are imported from states that usage pesticides to turn their crops.  Plus, the refined sugar and milk you add to your day-to-day brewage only worsen the job as they are highly acidic and habit-forming as well.  It's clock to merchandise in your cup of Joe for a banana tree mango tree smoothie.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CHEESE&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Don't panic.  I cognize this is going to be a tough 1 for most of you, but it have to go.  You will never be skinny and healthy if you go on to eat cheese or any journal merchandises for that matter.  Cheese is one of the worst nutrients for you as it is one of the most putrefied foods.  It is made by the procedure of rotting the casein in milk with bacteria.  The consequence is a putrefied, fermented, highly addictive, highly acidic product—cheese.  It is also pasteurized, a fancy word for cooked.  Because dairy farm merchandises are pasteurized, they do sourness and extra mucous secretion in the organic structure that Pb to allergies, colds, and eventually more than serious illnesses.  According to Dr. Stephen A. Douglas N. Graham, if dairy farm merchandises were eliminated from our diets, "hospitals would virtually empty out and physicians' waiting suite would be mostly vacated."  Cheese is also extremely difficult to digest and agitations in the digestive tract, resulting in toxic residue and extra fat.  Since 70% - 80% of the calories in cheese come up from fat, you'll be amazed at the amount of weight you will lose by giving it up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;REFINED sugar &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It's everywhere, in cereals, condiments, debris food, eating house food, "health" foods, etc.  Eventually, it stops up on your hips and thighs in dimply fatty globules.  Food fabricates cognize how highly habit-forming this matter is, so they add it to everything so you'll maintain coming back for more.  Don't allow the refined sugar industry pushing this drug on you anymore.  It do terrible instabilities in your blood refined sugar degree and takes to temper swings, mediocre concentration, depression, and exhaustion.  When eaten with a high fat diet, diabetes is often the result.  It also lends to an overrun of yeast—nasty!  And don't even believe about sugar-free foods or refined sugar substitutes, such as as Sweet-N-Low, NutraSweet, and Equal.  These unsafe chemical mixtures are even more than than than acidic and habit-forming than refined sugar, so you'll derive even more weight and make even more fat cells by consuming these small devils.  Interruption free from the refined sugar blues—opt for fruit instead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course of study you will have got cravings for these nutrients at first.  Once your organic structure detoxifies, however, and you are clean and pure, the cravings will diminish.  Trade all of these gross frailties in for fruit—fruit, fruit, and more than fruit.  I don't cognize about you, but I'd rather have got luscious fruit than pesticide loaded coffee, putrid fermenting cheese, and fat producing refined sugar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember to passage at your ain pace.  Depending on where you are in your natural journey, you may take to give up these gross frailties all at once, give them up over time, or just restrict them in you diet.  Always, the cardinal is:  addition your ingestion of legal tender fruits and leafy greens, and lessening your ingestion of cooked and processed foods.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-2361879233282458246?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/2361879233282458246/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=2361879233282458246' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2361879233282458246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2361879233282458246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/08/give-it-up-top-3-gross-vices.html' title='Give It Up!

Going through the hospitalization and diagnostic work up and the eventual  tax return to topographic point again.The roller coaster drive that takes place during these events often go forths the health professional already fatigued,both emotionally and physically.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the sick people hospitalization.  The health professional have got traveled back and forth to the infirmary probably daily,fielded the many telephone phone calls and have managed to maintain all the activities of running house and place afloat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As things simmer down and after what perhaps was a critical event,  then goes stable .The bes after to go back place will have brightened the twenty-four hours for everyone involved inch this relationship.The energy environments the sick individual ,and is most often driven by the love for them and the hopeful  recovery that  is on the horizon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the individual with the unwellness have returned home, there is an accommodation period,sometimes rough,when the world of what might be impermanent or maybe  lasting restrictions are realized.Impatience is sometimes portion of the image and a most normal response to a major life changing event.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So the health professional in the supportive role,adjusts the environment and the attention needed at a gait that tantrums into a somewhat a normal modus operandi for them .Keep in mind, that the health professional is beginning the attention at home, in an already fatigued state.All the energy is focused in the recovery mode, but the world is it is more than of a course of study in jarring roadstead for most.

Although it's no secret that fat loaded and greasy hamburgers, French fries, other deep-fried nutrients and fatty salad dressings are the basics of America's fast nutrient empire, is it possible that a diet and fitness programme that implies lowering reddish meat and domestic fowl consumption and simply increasing physical activity will lend to both weight loss and improvements to the environment?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There's overwhelming grounds that eating less redness meat and more than fruits and veggies take downs the hazard of disease.  It have been documented that many people living in Mediterranean Sea country states typically dwell longer than other Europeans.  This may be because of their feeding wonts and what is known in some circles as the 'Sonoma Diet.'  This manner of eating includes eating higher amounts of potatoes, breads, nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables.  Another basic of this diet is high amounts of omega-3 polyunsaturated fats (from a fish like Salmon or walnuts).  Furthermore, the 'Sonoma Diet' phone calls for using olive oil in stead of man-made veggie oils that are major subscribers to bosom disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Consider that in improver to the wellness benefits of eliminating reddish meat, there can also be an environmental benefit as well.  Elevation animate beings for nutrient consumes enormous measures of fuel, pesticides, land, fertilisers and water.  In 2006, the Center for Science in the Populace Interest (CSPI), commented that if the remainder of the human race had the same appetency for meat as Westerner's, we would quickly run out of land and irrigation water.  A 1997 life science article documented that the amount of H2O necessary to bring forth harvests like potatoes, corn, corn and soybean beans, was negligible compared to the nearly 18,000 gals of rainfall and irrigation H2O needed bring forth a lb of beef.  In the U.S., raising farm animal and irrigating our harvests utilizes approximately half of all the freshwater we use.  If this figure looks high, see that it takes more than than 7 lbs of grain to set a lb of weight on cows in feedlots.  Since much of this weight addition in cows travels into os and organ gains, it actually takes more than provender to ensue in a lb of beef.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, one should acknowledge the injury caused by extra usage of fertilizers.  CSPI documented that so much fertiliser from Midwestern maize farms have got been washed down the Mississippi River River into the Gulf of United Mexican States over the years, that coastal Gulf countries now have a poorly oxygenated "dead zone" where underside home sea life cannot survive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We should also see the impact of beef cattle on planetary heating and production of nursery gases.  A few old age ago, some University of Windy City research workers estimated that every American who eats a typical diet consisting of reddish meat, instead of an all-plant diet, actually lend as much nursery gases as if he or she were driving an SUV instead of a less polluting auto like a Camry.  These research workers estimated that if every American switched to an all works diet, 430 million fewer dozens of C dioxide would be produced annually.  It may be only 6% of the United State's emissions, but it's a start.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So how makes one start such as a diet to not only do a difference in their health, but also better the environment?  Understand that reddish meat, eggs and dairy farm merchandises are among the greatest beginnings of cholesterin and saturated fat, which lend towards bosom disease.  Some have got estimated that eliminating meat, diary, domestic fowl and eggs from our diets could salvage more than than 60,000 lives per year.  To take it one measure further, eating works nutrients rich with vitamins, minerals and fibre (all absent word form animate being foods) could potentially salvage one thousands more lives.  If you're panicking because you won't ever be able to have got the beefburger you love, stop.  From a wellness perspective, it's not necessary to go a hard-and-fast vegetarian.  Limiting your consumption to an occasional cheeseburger (choose extra, other thin land beef), allow alone a serving of broiled boneless and skinless chicken, is not a bad thing.  If you're going to stay an omnivore, like I have got decided to, expression for the last fat versions of meat and dairy farm foods.  When you can, purchase locally grown foods.  One measure additional is to purchase organically grown nutrient because it's break for the environment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-5133350341212420589?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/5133350341212420589/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=5133350341212420589' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5133350341212420589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5133350341212420589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/07/how-to-lose-weight-and-improve.html' title='How To Lose Weight And Improve The Environment With Your Diet'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-3297882113111042626</id><published>2007-07-27T08:58:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-27T08:58:04.692-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Divererticultis Diet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bowel Disease'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Divererticultis'/><title type='text'>Diverticulitis Diet - The Right Way To Treat Diverticulitis</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt; &lt;p&gt;Diverticultitis is a common disease of the bowel and in particularly the big intestine.

It&amp;amp;rsquo;s also high in fat and sodium.  Stay away from the deep-fried rice!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Noodles: Never, ever, ever a good choice!  Did I advert that they&amp;amp;rsquo;re not a good choice?  The amounts of oil used to cook this material is almost adequate for your adjacent oil change!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sauces: Regardless of where or what you&amp;amp;rsquo;re eating, you should ALWAYS order your sauce on the side.  Restaurants almost always pour on much more than than you typically would and ordering on the side allows you command your portions.  These sauces are also typically high in fat and sodium.  Soy sauce for example, a basic of Chinese cuisine, have up to four modern times the suggested day-to-day allowance of salt in just ONE tablespoon!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meat: If you can&amp;amp;rsquo;t acknowledge what&amp;amp;rsquo;s on your plate it probably intends you should jump it.  You&amp;amp;rsquo;re always better off ordering steamed entrees.  That manner you not only could acknowledge what you&amp;amp;rsquo;re eating, but you'll be skipping the digestion of meat that&amp;amp;rsquo;s covered in fat-soaked breading (think General Tso&amp;amp;rsquo;s chicken!!!).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your best stake is to really take advantage of ALL the healthy options and order a small of everything, focusing mostly on veggies and steamed dishes.  You could still bask your Chinese food, but don&amp;amp;rsquo;t derail all you hard work by making the incorrect choices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more than information on general wellness and nutrition, experience free to subscribe up for our free newsletter!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-7044552062773097825?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/7044552062773097825/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=7044552062773097825' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/7044552062773097825'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/7044552062773097825'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/07/love-chinese-food-think-twice-before.html' title='Love Chinese Food?

Ambrotose is often referred to as Glyconutritionals, Glyconutrient Supplements, Polysaccharides and Monosaccharides.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ambrotose is manufactured in Coppell, Texas.  Ambrotose incorporates the eight necessary foods or "sugars" your cells necessitate to communicate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ambrotose is Sugars?  There are about two hundred refined sugars in nature.  One of them is common tabular array sugar.  Eight of these refined sugars are called Glyco Sugars or Glyconutrients.  Ambrotose is a patented blend of all eight sugars.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you devour Ambrotose, your cells go coated with Ambrotose (Glyconutrients); this enables them to pass on with each other.  Now your cells discontinue killing the good cells and bypassing the bad ones.  Your organic structure is able to mend and support itself properly as it was created to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suppose you are typing an e-mail to your friend.  Bash not utilize the letters "a", "r", "t" or "s".  Bash you believe that your friend will be able to read your letter?  Probably not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your organic structure is just like your friend; your organic structure can't understand how to work right when it's missing some of the alphabet.  Ambrotose is the lacking alphabet for your body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Eight Glyconutrients in Ambrotose are:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Mannose&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Glucose&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Galactose&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Xylose&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Fucose (not fructose)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• N-acetylglucosamine&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• N-acetylneuramic acid&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• N-acetylgalactosamine&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Research on Ambrotose is abundant.  In 1996, Harper's Biochemistry (the chief medical textbook) was rewritten to include an full chapter on Glyconutrients.  Documented surveys and research about Ambrotose can be establish at www.nih.gov , www.pubmed.gov and www.glycoscience.org .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both The University of Lone-Star State and The New England Diary of Medicine have got published articles about Ambrotose.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Based on research, Ambrotose is critical to human life and longevity.  Ambrotose is nutrient based and works derived.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-6034690789946351861?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/6034690789946351861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=6034690789946351861' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6034690789946351861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6034690789946351861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/07/what-do-you-need-for-you-body-to.html' title='What Do You Need For You Body To Function Properly?'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-5260202018470259783</id><published>2007-07-13T12:24:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-13T12:24:20.722-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bacteria'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gain weight'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='milk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='growth hormones'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chemicals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health food'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eating dairy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='retain body fat'/><title type='text'>Milk: The Big, White Lie!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt; &lt;p&gt;Please cognize that I am just like you and I am not trying to talk down from a &lt;br /&gt; brow or condescend.  I would make that if I thought it would work but wit is &lt;br /&gt; usually more than effective.  I too once believed that milk was healthy, good and &lt;br /&gt; should be guzzled down like suds through a funnel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Milk is touted by the "experts" as the "Perfect Health Food" and best pick &lt;br /&gt; for dieting and weight loss.  The antonym is actually true.  The growing hormones, &lt;br /&gt; chemicals and bacterium in milk will do you addition weight, reserve organic structure fat and &lt;br /&gt; do you sick.  Try this experiment.  Cut out all dairy farm merchandises for one whole &lt;br /&gt; calendar month (cheese, water ice cream, everything).  Resume eating dairy farm merchandises again.  I did &lt;br /&gt; this and now I go very sick when I imbibe milk or eat cheese and water ice pick in &lt;br /&gt; any quantity.  I used to imbibe 2 gals of milk a week!  Lactose intolerance is &lt;br /&gt; another manner of saying that milk do people sick.  95% of African Americans are &lt;br /&gt; milk sugar intolerant, 20-40% of Caucasians are milk sugar intolerant, and 50-70% of &lt;br /&gt; Asians are milk sugar intolerant.  I do not cognize of any other "Perfect Health Foods" &lt;br /&gt; that make so many people sick.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MILLIONS AND millions of dollars have got been spent to set milk mustaches on &lt;br /&gt; celebrities, jocks and models.  Millions and billions of dollars are spent on &lt;br /&gt; selling dairy farm farm merchandises to the American populace and reassuring us that dairy is &lt;br /&gt; healthy and safe.  "Got Milk" "Milk makes a organic structure good" and allows not bury the &lt;br /&gt; great Ca hoax.  Where will we acquire our Ca if we make not imbibe milk?  Well, &lt;br /&gt; cattle acquire it from grass but the best human beginning is greenish leafy vegetables.  More &lt;br /&gt; than 75% of the earth's populations make not devour regular dairy farm products.  They &lt;br /&gt; are not dropping dead from Ca deficiency.  Most people defy strongly when &lt;br /&gt; I propose that dairy farm farm merchandises are unhealthy because of the monolithic amount of &lt;br /&gt; mass media and authorities brainwashing (marketing) that takes topographic point in this country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ingestion of cow's milk and dairy merchandises have been linked to many &lt;br /&gt; diseases and complaints like: Breast cancer, other cancers, Heart Disease, Stroke, &lt;br /&gt; MS, Diabetes, Obesity, Acne, Varicose Veins, Irritable Intestine Syndrome, Allergic &lt;br /&gt; Reactions, Bloating, Gas, Cramps, and many more.  You must check up on out Henry Martin Robert &lt;br /&gt; Cohen's website www.notmilk.com to acquire the truth about milk.  Read "The Famous &lt;br /&gt; Milk Letter" or position the 1999 picture study and set up to be shocked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the age of 4 or 5 our organic structures lose the ability to effectively digest &lt;br /&gt; milk.  It is the same for other animals; they are weaned and taught to eat &lt;br /&gt; regular food.  World are the lone species that goes on to imbibe milk in &lt;br /&gt; adulthood.  What do it even worse is that it is the organic structure fluid from another &lt;br /&gt; animal, which was intended for calves.  The human organic structure have an astonishing tolerance &lt;br /&gt; degree for toxins and for most people if they never halt imbibing extensive amounts &lt;br /&gt; of milk their organic structures just take it and slowly construct up mucous secretion and disease over &lt;br /&gt; time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Convincing Americans that milk is not healthy is a enormous challenge.  Let &lt;br /&gt; me apologise in progress to all the dairy farm farmers, lacto-ovo vegetarians and milk &lt;br /&gt; chugging partisans who might be offended by my opinions.  I have got discovered &lt;br /&gt; that some people really cherish their dairy farm farm merchandises and go quite disquieted at &lt;br /&gt; any suggestion that dairy merchandises are anything less than a healthy, wholesome &lt;br /&gt; nutrient that volition foster them for a lifetime.  I say if you got your ain cow, &lt;br /&gt; milked it yourself, and consumed little measures of pure, fresh, natural milk and &lt;br /&gt; dairy farm merchandises like our ascendants did than you might be OK. This is, of course, &lt;br /&gt; if you're mostly Northern European ascendants drank milk and you endure it to &lt;br /&gt; get with.  This would be the lone manner to be certain you are not being &lt;br /&gt; poisoned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I brought this article to my writer's group-a little kin of literary &lt;br /&gt; giants I now highly respect- the response I got was "Wow, this cat really detests &lt;br /&gt; milk." Actually, I detest the people and organisations behind the milk deception.  I like milk.  It's rich and delicious; it's just not a wellness food.  Don't be &lt;br /&gt; fooled by the dairy farm industry marketing.  If you like milk then delight slop down &lt;br /&gt; a tall glass right away and have got a nice life.  Just cognize that it is not good for &lt;br /&gt; you and believe of it as you would a dessert or a cigarette.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The milk industry grew out of demand to feed a hungry, growing nation.  In many &lt;br /&gt; lawsuits we have got taken the gifts of nature and altered and perverted them.  Domestication of animals, and progresses in scientific discipline and chemical science allowed for the &lt;br /&gt; "great" modern accomplishments of nutrient processing, canning, Pasteurization, &lt;br /&gt; Homogenization, preservatives, nutrient chemicals, hydrogenated oils and high &lt;br /&gt; fruit sugar maize syrup.  All these things have got made nutrient unhealthy, easy and very, &lt;br /&gt; very inexpensive and profitable.  There was a clip when most nutrient was fresh, healthy &lt;br /&gt; and chemical free.  There was a clip when milk was pure in this country, when &lt;br /&gt; cattle roamed free and ate grass free from antibiotic drugs and pollutants.  Maybe 50 or &lt;br /&gt; 100 old age ago it was good and safe to imbibe little amounts of milk from a moo-cow &lt;br /&gt; before it became the milk of today.  I make not fault corps for wanting to &lt;br /&gt; be profitable, or authorities for obscuring the truth.  It is our ain &lt;br /&gt; duty to detect the truth and alteration our lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Most people prefer a simple prevarication over a &lt;br /&gt; complicated truth!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The milk industry and authorities cognize that MANY, many more than people might &lt;br /&gt; recognize that milk makes not hold with them if they stopped imbibing it for a &lt;br /&gt; small while.  This is why it is so heavily marketed and subsidised by the &lt;br /&gt; government.  Please understand, I am not a fanatical .I volition still have got a little &lt;br /&gt; milk foam on top of my dual macchiato, or a small amount of cheese here and &lt;br /&gt; there.  I believe of dairy farm the same manner that most people position processed sugar.  Sugar and dairy farm are so pervading in our nutrient supply and such as a large portion of our &lt;br /&gt; American civilization it is almost impossible to avoid them entirely but they &lt;br /&gt; certainly should not be considered healthy or made a basic of your diet or &lt;br /&gt; added as a healthy constituent to a recommended feeding usher or pyramid.  Today's &lt;br /&gt; milk is a processed nutrient and processed nutrients and chemicals are harmful, toxic or &lt;br /&gt; at least unnatural to the human body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So what about organic milk?  Organic milk is great but it is still &lt;br /&gt; homogenized, pasteurized and meant for calves.  Americans everywhere are feeling &lt;br /&gt; happy and safe by switching to organic milk.  How fantastic it is that we now can &lt;br /&gt; bask milk from happy, grass Federal cattle that have got been massaged and groomed &lt;br /&gt; mundane and not fed any antibiotics, growing internal secretion or chemicals, right?  Bad &lt;br /&gt; folks, organic milk is just like visible light cigarettes, it is healthier but will &lt;br /&gt; still kill you!  Homogenization turns dairy farm merchandises into a deathly arteria &lt;br /&gt; scarring poison.  Homogenized dairy farm merchandises are one of the existent grounds behind &lt;br /&gt; our epidemic of bosom disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Milk is mostly casein, which is a mucus-producing glue that accumulates in &lt;br /&gt; the human organic structure causing long-term health jobs and disease.  Milk from cattle was &lt;br /&gt; intended for calves, even cattle make not go on imbibing their ain milk in &lt;br /&gt; maturity they acquire their Ca and nutriment from grass.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guess What.  Yogurt is dirt too!  Two different friends recently were asking me &lt;br /&gt; about yogurt.  "Yogurt is still healthy, right?" No.  Yogurt makes incorporate healthy &lt;br /&gt; bacteria, which helps in digestion but it also incorporates milk and often is loaded &lt;br /&gt; with sugar, unreal sweetenings and other chemicals.  A better strategy, if you &lt;br /&gt; are looking to better your digestion, would be to take digestive enzymes, &lt;br /&gt; probiotics or Acidophilus pills which are available at wellness nutrient supplies &lt;br /&gt; everywhere and are much more than effective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you desire to lose organic structure fat, experience healthy and avoid chronic disease than cut &lt;br /&gt; out or cut down all dairy farm merchandises from your diet.  I achieved an unbelievable new &lt;br /&gt; degree of wellness and thinness after I banished dairy farm merchandises from my life.

We put our ends with every purpose of following through, and at the beginning, it's quite a rush.  Our program is in place, and we're cook to suppress the world.  But as clip travels on, the impact of such as sum alteration goes confusing and overwhelming.

Food is no different - a weekly or monthly program that integrates little and wieldy alterations is much easier to endure than a host of significant changes.  For example, during the first week, seek imbibing more water.  The adjacent week, start devising your luncheons with whole corn breadstuff instead of white.  Another week, get examining refined sugar consumption and analyze ways to modify.  Yourl wellness will better and additional alterations will get to experience more than manageable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With time, these little and simple alterations go routine, and getting healthier goes much less of a challenge.

Our modern manner of living-- disbursement tons of clip drive and sitting in presence of computers-- coupled with the copiousness of highly caloric, inexpensive food, have produced a state of fatties.  The job shows no mark of abating, and individuals, rather than facing the fact that they necessitate to subject themselves to eat healthily and exercise, are choosing craze diets to battle the problem.  A popular attack have been the liquid diet, in which dieters bounds themselves to cockamamie mixtures such as as maple syrup, cayenne, and lemon juice to "burn" fat.  Other dieters waste material money and via media their wellness purchasing liquid repast substitutions in an attempt to drop the pounds.  Let's analyze why these measurements are futile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Weight loss makes happen on a liquid diet.  The dieter, despairing to believe that she's finally establish the secret to losing weight, imputes her weight loss to some charming combination of ingredients.  Or she believes the selling propaganda distributed by the maker of the liquid diet, which states that the merchandise advances weight loss because it impacts internal secretions or metabolism, or some other nonsense.  The fact is, she loses weight because she have restricted calories.  When she gets the liquid diet, she's gung-ho and have made a promise to herself that this time, she really will lose weight.  So she faithfully follows the guidelines to the diet, forgoing all existent nutrient in favour of the repast replacement.  Since she's probably consuming about one-half the calories she necessitates to be healthy, she makes lose some fat and H2O weight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately for her, there's much more than involved in sustained weight loss than downing chalky, pre-packaged agitates for a hebdomad or so.  The liquid diets don't supply the foods her organic structure necessitates for long-term health and stamina.  Soon she'll experience weak and light-headed because she's simply not taking in adequate calories, nor is she ingesting the complex premix of foods that we all demand to be healthy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our dieter hasn't learned anything she necessitates to cognize to be healthy and tantrum and to keep an optimal weight throughout her life.  She hasn't learned how to take a moderate, well balanced bill of fare that includes thin protein, complex carbohydrates, and plentifulness of produce.  She hasn't learned to acknowledge and satiate hungriness with reasonably sized parts of nutritious foods.  She hasn't learned that she can occasionally indulge in handles because they savor good and are satisfying.  Instead she's taking the all-or-nothing attack which simply is not how our organic structures were designed to function.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The dieter who loses weight on a liquid diet will soon lose the appreciated crunch of natural vegetables, the delightfully creamy texture of existent cheese, the smoky odor of a beefburger right off the grill, and the chewiness of freshly adust bread.  It won't be long before the liquid diet will be abandoned.  Sadly, since the dieter is now despairing for taste sensation and texture, and her organic structure is craving fibre and nutrients, she will get to eat with a vengeance, and material herself with far more than calories than she needs.  The weight will immediately stack back on, and the dieter will be back where she started, feeling even worse about herself and her deficiency of willpower.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Liquid diets, like any craze diet promising speedy results, make not work.  They strip the organic structure of foods it needs, they further unhealthy and unrealistic mental attitudes about food, and they ultimately do the job worse.  Anyone seeking to lose weight should acknowledge that it will take a life long committedness to healthy feeding and exercising.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-5329330731747290579?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/5329330731747290579/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=5329330731747290579' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5329330731747290579'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5329330731747290579'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/07/liquid-fad-dietswhy-drinking-your-way.html' title='Liquid Fad Diets...Why Drinking Your Way to Slimness Isn&amp;#39;t The Best Thing To Do!'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-609641703763460188</id><published>2007-07-06T08:44:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-06T08:44:35.537-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vegan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vegetarian lifestyle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='child health and vegetarian diet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vegetarian'/><title type='text'>A Vegetarian Diet For Children</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt; &lt;p&gt;Eating wonts are put in early childhood.

An inactive lifestyle, gaining weight, eating a high fat diet can be a system flood created by a person's diet for cholesterin metabolism.  Sometimes, you make not even necessitate to seek very difficult to have got high cholesterin because in some cases, livers cannot manage even moderated amounts of saturated fat and cholesterin intakes.  Also, these factors may also lend to the high cholesterin levels:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the household have a history a heat energy disease or high cholesterin profile is generally running in the family, one have to take care.  The household history surely have an consequence on your cholesterol.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;High blood pressure, hypothyroidism, diabetes and such as other certain wellness statuses can elevate degrees of cholesterol.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Animal beginning nutrient is high in saturated fat.  A high cholesterin diet is never good for your health.  Veal, cheeps, beef, milk, and butter are all animate being beginning food.  Saturated fats are generally contained by almost all processed food.  Coconut, chocolate and thenar oils are included.  Stick oleo and shortening are hardened liquid veggies establish in saturated fats.  It is also known that saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Partially hydrogenated veggie oils or trans fatty acids like also assist addition cholesterin levels.  These trans fatty acids can be establish in merchandises like chips, cookies, margarins and bite crackers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cholesterol degrees may be improved if poly or monounsaturated fats are taken in moderate quantity.  Poly or monounsaturated fats are establish in canola, safflower, olive and peanut oils.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the age of twenty, in both work force and women, cholesterin degrees normally begin rising.  After the age of 50 these cholesterin degrees stop.  The degrees in women remain relatively low until they attain climacteric but after that, they lift to about the same degree as in men&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good cholesterin degrees can be lowered and the figure of triglycerides can be raised by simply gaining a batch of weight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The deficiency of physical activity usually do high-density lipoprotein to diminish and low-density lipoprotein to increase&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The decision in the end is rather simple – high cholesterin may be a job to those who eat too much saturated fats.  People establish on animate being merchandises (ghee, cheese, milk, eggs, veil) are usually at a higher risk, because, as we described earlier, saturated fats are mostly establish in animate being products.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although diet and nutrients can have got an impact on your cholesterol, on the whole, it is more than a familial issue that have been passed down to you.  You could have got the best diet in the world; however, if your prostrate to high cholesterol, it is likely, you will necessitate more than than just a solid diet and exercising to equilibrate out your cholesterin degrees naturally.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-5863696083884592423?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/5863696083884592423/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=5863696083884592423' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5863696083884592423'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5863696083884592423'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/07/causes-of-high-cholesterol.html' title='The Causes Of High Cholesterol'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-6159143543456308048</id><published>2007-07-03T09:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-03T09:52:07.534-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamin b12 mental'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamin b12vegetarian diets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flax seed oil'/><title type='text'>Ways To Consume More Omega 3 Fatty Acids</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is very of import that you devour enough Omega 3 fatty acids because they play a large function in your physical and mental health.  Most people have got eating wonts that result in them not getting adequate Omega 3 fatty acids so there is an imbalance between the Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.  There are respective good ways you can utilize to increase the amount of Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet by adding different nutrients to your diet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fatty fish incorporates the most Omega 3 fatty acids including sardines, salmon, trout, and herring.  They also incorporate large amounts of Omega 6.  Assorted surveys bespeak that people who devour fish once or twice per hebdomad are less likely to develop assorted diseases and disorders.  You can also take to add fish oil addendums to your day-to-day modus operandi if you don't care to eat so much fish.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another good beginning of indispensable fatty acids is from seeds and nuts.  The down side is that they don't offer the proper balance between Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.  Flax seed is a good pick for increasing your intake.  Linseed oil addendums are a great option to taking fish oil supplements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most greenness vegetables incorporate a assortment of indispensable Omega 3 fatty acids but the amount of them you would have got to eat is very high.  However, eating them in improver to fish or other nutrients with Omega 3 and a addendum is a good option.  The New Seeland greenness lipped mussel is a great addendum to seek and it is available as either a pulverization or a lipide extract.  To avoid the possibility of an allergic reaction you should seek the lipide extract.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of usage just don't get the right amount of Omega 3 and Omega 6 in our diets so it is necessary to do changes to our diets and to take assorted addendums including fish oil, flax seed oil, and New Seeland greenness lipped mussel.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-6159143543456308048?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/6159143543456308048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=6159143543456308048' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6159143543456308048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6159143543456308048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/07/ways-to-consume-more-omega-3-fatty.html' title='Ways To Consume More Omega 3 Fatty Acids'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-467766050183042057</id><published>2007-07-02T11:48:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-02T11:48:11.782-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='structure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dangers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='change'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ovens'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='microwave'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='radiation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cooking'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chemical'/><title type='text'>Dangers Of Microwave Cooking</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, there is no doubt that the microwave oven was one of the eighties hottest must have kitchen appliances. Do you remember how much the first ones cost to own? Look how cheap and common place they have become since. Sure heating foods and liquids in seconds, not minutes, has caused most people to abandon any intuitively negative thought they may have had in suspecting radiation cooking to be bad for you. Due to this convenience factor,  denying and not acknowledging the danger is normal. But, there are reasons why the sale of these appliances was banned early on in countries like the Soviet Union.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the worst outcomes of microwaved food is not so much the radiation factor, as most people feared, but the almost complete (97%) nutrient loss in healthy fresh food like vegetables, for instance, when micro-cooked. There is also the formation of new radiolytic compounds. This chemical structure change in foods and liquids has been the focus of a few studies done to determine what kinds of changes occur in microwaved foods. Rest assured, however, that although the studies have been few, the changes discovered have been significant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hans Hartel, a swiss food scientist, is a man of intense passion, he determined that there is no need to violate the laws of nature by corporate man and his state-supported monopolies in science, technology, or education. Hans was one of the first scientists to form an idea to conduct a quality study on the effects of microwaved nutrients had on the blood and physiology of human beings. This small but well-controlled study pointed a very firm finger at a highly degenerative force in microwave ovens and the food produced in them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blood samples of the volunteer test subjects were taken before the ingestion of  the foods offered. Then, at predetermined intervals after the eating of raw milk and raw vegetables, or the same food conventionally cooked, or microwaved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What was eye-opening, and rather shocking, was that there were significant changes discovered in the blood samples of the test subjects who had ate the foods cooked in a microwave oven. These changes included a decrease in all hemoglobin and cholesterol values, especially between the HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol) values and ratio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;White blood cells also showed a more distinct short-term decrease after eating microwaved food than opposed to eating food conventionally cooked or raw. Hartel's conclusion was this, due to extensive scientific literature describing the different hazardous effects that microwave radiation has on living systems, it is astonishing what little effort has been made to replace this technology with something more nature friendly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the conclusions of Swiss, Russian, and German scientific studies, here are 10 good reasons to ditch your microwave oven for good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1)Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term -permanent- brain damage by "shorting out"electrical impulses in the brain [depolarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2)The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 3)Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 4)The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 5)Minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 6)The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 7)Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increasing rate of colon cancer in America.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 8)The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 9)Continual ingestion of microwaved foods causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 10)Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, I do not know about the rest of you but, once information like this enters my head it is hard to just toss it out. I roll it around for a little while, then, I make a conscious choice. My nineteen year old has been trying to get me,  for quite a while, to get rid of our microwave and replace it with a toaster oven.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After doing some intelligent researching on line and reading of this subject, you too have the same option I did in making a healthy choice for your health, and your family's health. Remember one point, our society pretty much runs on money (the bottom line).  The corporations who manufacture microwaves make a lot from the sale of them. There is no money for me, or any of the scientists who know that eating food processed in one of these things is dangerous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You do, however, have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping others to live more healthy, you are saving lives, and you are spreading future happiness by encouraging anyone to, including yourself, stop eating microwaved food.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-467766050183042057?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/467766050183042057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=467766050183042057' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/467766050183042057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/467766050183042057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/07/dangers-of-microwave-cooking.html' title='Dangers Of Microwave Cooking'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-4354032140890268872</id><published>2007-07-01T14:10:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-01T14:10:57.584-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vegetarian diets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vegetarian'/><title type='text'>Types Of Vegetarian Diets</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may want to turn to vegetarian diets for health reasons.  You also find that you find it hard to eat animals that have been slaughtered for the sake of consumption. Also, there have been several reports about animals which are fed hormones or on toxic food. To become a vegetarian, you need to find out about the different types of vegetarian diets as there can be a number to choose from.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fruitarianism is a type of so called vegetarian diet. These people only eat fruits that do not kill the plant when the fruit is removed.  This diet can be due to dietary reasons, but many people choose this lifestyle because they want to respect the life of animals and plants by not killing the plant to use as a food source.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A vegan diet is another type of vegetarian diet.   This diet is when you not only not eat animal meat, but you also do not eat any foods that are created by animals.  This would include dairy products, eggs, milk, and other such products.  Other products that some vegans refrain from eating include gelatin, some types of sugar, and cheese products.  The reasons for the vegan diet are varied, but most people choose this diet to help make themselves healthier.  Another reason that some people began vegans is that they do not want to cause suffering to animals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pescetarianism is a type of diet that people adopting it not only eat vegetables and fruits, but they also eat meats like fish and other kinds of seafood.  Pollotarianism is a very close to pescetarianism, but this type of lifestyle also includes poultry as their meat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can also choose the macrobiotic diet.  This form of diet is popular in the recent times.  It is very close to vegetarianism, but there are some differences between the two.  Following the macrobiotic diet includes eating around a foundation of beans and whole grains.  The macrobiotic diet also includes fish in their eating choices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is important that you get to know about the different diets, in order to find the one that will fit you and your lifestyle.  You also need to ensure that the diet you choose can meet all of your nutritional needs and preferably, without the need for supplements.  That way, it is more likely that you can stick to it and derive the maximum benefits from a healthy vegetarian diet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-4354032140890268872?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/4354032140890268872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=4354032140890268872' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/4354032140890268872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/4354032140890268872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/07/types-of-vegetarian-diets.html' title='Types Of Vegetarian Diets'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-8867723082366316608</id><published>2007-06-29T06:10:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-29T06:10:18.412-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='milk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lactose'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cellulose'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sugar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='maltose'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sucrose'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fiber'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='starch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Monosaccharides'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carbon fiber'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carbohydrates'/><title type='text'>Three Principal Carbohydrates and the Foods in Which they are Present</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carbohydrates are organic molecules (contain carbon and come from living sources) and are our main source of energy. Three principal carbohydrates according to their structure) are: sugars, starches and fiber.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. SUGARS&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Monosaccharides: ·        &lt;u&gt;Glucose&lt;/u&gt; is found in fruits or can be hydrolyzed from starch, cane sugar, milk sugar, malt sugar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;·        &lt;u&gt;Fructose&lt;/u&gt; is found in most fruits and fruit juices, honey, certain vegetables&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;·        &lt;u&gt;Galactose&lt;/u&gt; is formed in the process of metabolism of the milk sugar lactose&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Disaccharides: &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Lactose&lt;/u&gt;, also known as "milk sugar"  and the only sugar of animal origin, comes from mother's milk&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Sucrose&lt;/u&gt; or "white sugar" comes from sugar cane, sugar beets, maple syrup, molasses, sorghum and pineapple&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Maltose&lt;/u&gt; or "malt sugar" is produced in the process of breakdown of starches in certain cereal grains and is also present in beers, malted snacks, some breakfast cereals and crackers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;   2. STARCHES are also known as "complex carbohydrates" or "polysaccharides". They are found in potatoes, vegetable roots and whole grains like wheat, rice and corn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Amylopectin&lt;/u&gt; – most common starch found in foods&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Amylose&lt;/u&gt; – with long chains of glucose molecules&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Glycogen&lt;/u&gt; – the animal source starch (from muscle and liver)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Dextrins&lt;/u&gt; – partially digested starches, formed during the breakdown of starch&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  3. FIBER is mostly the indigestible cellulose from the skins of fruits and vegetables and coverings of cereals. It provides little energy or caloric value but aids intestinal function and elimination.

It is necessary in the support of basic structure and function of our cells and more specifically it is needed for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. A deficiency of vitamin D can lead to Rickets, Osteoporosis and Osteomalacia. While some foods are already fortified with Vitamin D, and many people take dietary supplements, it has been questioned if we are getting enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An article published in the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association reported on new research suggesting that many people are deficient in this vital nutrient. One study conducted at the University of Pittsburgh Schools of Health Sciences found that 92.4% of African-American newborns and 66.1% of white babies had insufficient vitamin D levels at birth. The study also found that more than 80% of the African-American participants and nearly half of the white women tested had levels of vitamin D, at the time of delivery, that were too low despite the fact that over 90% of them had been taking prenatal vitamins during pregnancy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr. Robert Heaney, a professor at Creighton University School of Medicine, has been conducting research on vitamin D for nearly two decades. He stated, "The amount of vitamin D in supplements isn't nearly enough," and went on to say "The principal obstacle has been we haven't known how much vitamin D we have needed until the past two years."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Current estimates from Dr. Haney's research estimate that the body uses 4,000 IU, per day, of vitamin D. The current dietary reference intake for women up to age 50 is 200 IU per day. As for the concern of safety regarding Vitamin D, Dr. Haney's research has shown that vitamin D safety does not become an issue until a person exceeds well beyond 10,000 IU per day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In diet, vitamin D is found in liver, fish, butter, milk, egg yolk, yeasts and some mushrooms. However there is some question as to whether modern agricultural practices have resulted in these foods providing less vitamin D than the same foods produced only decades ago. The human body also has the capacity to convert cholesterol into vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight. People with lighter skin will produce more vitamin D from sunlight exposure than those with darker skin. Again modern lifestyle changes may not result in anyone having as much regular, full-body exposure to sunlight as experienced by their ancestors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ultimately a diet rich in whole foods, safe exposure to natural sunlight and appropriate use of dietary supplementation may be used together to ensure that this essential vitamin is available to do its part in supporting optimal health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-6461888052298671844?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/6461888052298671844/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=6461888052298671844' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6461888052298671844'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6461888052298671844'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/call-for-vitamin-d-fortification.html' title='A Call For Vitamin D Fortification'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-3859026105312633057</id><published>2007-06-26T09:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-26T09:45:17.759-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cholesterol'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Natural Ways to Lower Blood Pressure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health and fitness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blood pressure'/><title type='text'>Natural Ways to Lower Blood Pressure</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;High blood pressure can be a serious problem to the health of people of all ages.  It can lead to further problems and cases of high blood pressure should be addressed as soon as possible.  There are some simple, easy and most importantly natural ways to lower blood pressure and addressing lifestyle is often a necessary factor.  As there is often a direct link between obesity and high blood pressure, it is first important to ensure that the body is sufficiently fit and healthy.  Regular exercise can go a long way towards losing excess weight and in turn lowering blood pressure.  Changes like stopping smoking and minimizing alcohol consumption are also advisable not only because it will help to avoid increasing your blood pressure but also because of the other major health problems that nicotine and alcohol can cause.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Changes in the diet are very important as many of us consume too many salt and fatty foods.  Limiting the amount of fast food eaten and avoiding salt can be the quickest ways to change the diet but adding healthy fruit and vegetables to every day diets is also essential.  Filling up on fresh fruit and vegetables can improve the overall health and feeling of well being of anyone but they are especially useful at lowering blood pressure.  Eating less fat, red meat, salt and increasing the amount of nutrients in the diet are all effective measures to take.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When cooking meals at home, do not add salt to the ingredients or if you feel it is really necessary then simply reduce the amounts.  After all, there is a lot of sodium in canned and processed foods which often form a major part of many people's weekly food intake.  When dining out, it can be a good idea to ask for a limited amount of salt to be added to your meal and avoid fatty, creamy sauces or desserts.  Soft drinks and canned soups can both have negative effects on the blood pressure so simply avoiding these and similar items can be a great start when looking for a natural way to lower blood pressure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;High blood pressure can affect anyone and it can also be hereditary but there are many natural ways to lower blood pressure and even avoid taking blood pressure medication altogether.  The basic facts are that a healthy diet, regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight go a long way to improve blood pressure levels.  The odd treat is not a problem but moderation is imperative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-3859026105312633057?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/3859026105312633057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=3859026105312633057' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3859026105312633057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3859026105312633057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/natural-ways-to-lower-blood-pressure.html' title='Natural Ways to Lower Blood Pressure'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-7958448759078557559</id><published>2007-06-25T09:44:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-25T09:44:30.796-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='problems'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='odour'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='care'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='advice'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='body'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='treatment'/><title type='text'>Body Odour Problems</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of the people do not know that they have suffered from the problem of body odour as they are used to be as it is. Body odour is not a disease but it is a health issue and has to be sorted out. It is not difficult to cure this and it is nothing but a unpleasant smell arising out of sweating. Believe it or not, sweating does not produce odour. Yes it is odourless! But when the sweat dump on the skin, gradually bacteria breaks the sweat and releases chemicals on the skin. Those chemicals produce unpleasant smell on the body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Causes of Body Odour &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are certain areas  like genitals and armpits are more likely to produce odour in the human body. Your diet has a significant importance in controlling the body odour. When you have more spicy food in your diet, it can also cause body odour. Those food particles may include chemicals which create odour in the body. The problem becomes an issue during the summer. You can take bath twice to reduce the smell in your body. But it will be only a temporary remedy. Body odour is also created when you wear unwashed and uncleaned clothes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Deodorants Vs. Antiperspirants&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Use of deodorants is not a permanent solution for the body odour problem. You can use them as a mask for body odour. But antiperspirants has the ability to reduce the amount of sweating that the human body produces.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suggestive measures to prevent the body odour&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;li&gt;Have a regular bath daily. It is better to take a fresh shower before going to bed. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't wear unwashed clothes. Wash your clothes daily with possible high temperature.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wash your feet regularly.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It is better not to use sweaty shoes. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Always go for cotton socks. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reduce the spiciness in your diet.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use antiperspirants regularly.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Go for roll-ons instead of deodorants.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To be free from sweating, shave your armpits.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It is not advisable to wear tight fitting clothes. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Try to avoid tea and coffee intakes. Caffeine is a main cause for continuous sweating. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-7958448759078557559?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/7958448759078557559/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=7958448759078557559' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/7958448759078557559'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/7958448759078557559'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/body-odour-problems.html' title='Body Odour Problems'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-1681877584794847477</id><published>2007-06-22T10:39:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-22T10:39:24.112-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='losing weight'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='slimming'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weight loss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='high fiber foods'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='high fiber diet'/><title type='text'>Do You Know All the Benefits of a High-Fiber Diet?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Forget the fads—a diet high in fiber is much more effective and beneficial than the Atkins Diet or Negative Calorie Diet could ever be. The benefits of a high fiber diet are never ending. Not only does such a diet promote weight loss, but it can solve many health problems as well. Additionally, a diet high in fiber can help to prevent many dangerous disorders and conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;High Fiber Foods For Weight Loss&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the many benefits of a high fiber diet is weight loss. Fiber expands in your stomach and takes up a greater volume; thus, it makes you feel fuller and less likely to consume excess food. High fiber foods, by nature, also tend to be less calorie dense. This means that they contain fewer calories in the same amount of food. Finally, weight loss is one of the many benefits of a high fiber diet because foods with fiber generally take longer to chew, which means that your body has more time to register that it is full.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiber Fights Health Problems&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many health problems, such as digestive problems, are caused by a fiber deficiency. Thus, one of the benefits of a high fiber diet is that it reduces or eliminates these health problems, which can include constipation and cramps. If you are unable to consume enough high-fiber foods, taking fiber supplements is also an option that provides the same benefits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Preventative Measures&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiber can also help to prevent many genetic conditions and diseases. One example is type-two diabetes. Prevention of type-two diabetes is one great benefit of a high fiber diet. Because fiber slows the absorption of sugar, it not only is beneficial for people who are trying to prevent diabetes, but it is also beneficial to people who have diabetes because it can improve blood sugar levels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another disorder that a high fiber diet can help to prevent is heart conditions. Heart conditions are often caused by blood cholesterol levels that are too high. Fiber helps to lower blood cholesterol levels; thus, it also helps to prevent heart conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Improve Your Health&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall, the benefits of a high fiber diet indicate that it is a more successful and effective way of managing your health levels than engaging in fad diets and other weight loss programs. If you want to improve not only your weight, but your overall health, consider the benefits that a high fiber diet might provide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-1681877584794847477?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/1681877584794847477/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=1681877584794847477' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/1681877584794847477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/1681877584794847477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/do-you-know-all-benefits-of-high-fiber.html' title='Do You Know All the Benefits of a High-Fiber Diet?'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-8299633228216373782</id><published>2007-06-21T11:09:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-21T11:09:47.923-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Detox'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tea'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='green'/><title type='text'>Green Tea And Colon Detox</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;With a tradition of almost five millennia of continuous use, green tea is the most popular beverage in China, Japan, India or Thailand, highly appreciated for both the delicate flavor and the great therapeutic properties. Said to accelerate metabolism and reduce the level of toxins in the blood, green tea also makes an excellent remedy when it comes to regulating blood sugar and increasing the quality of digestion. The &lt;em&gt;Book of Tea&lt;/em&gt; written as early as the 12th century by a Zen priest became a real treatise for the medical world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many varieties of green tea available on the market, and its usage has long left the Asian borders to spread all over the world. As a cure for a toxin-infected system, green tea is one of the most advertised and successfully used plants in weight loss and detox diets. However, the refinery of the taste and the tonic properties of the green tea leaves are not to be overlooked either. Served warm or hot, green tea was made popular to Europe under the British Empire when it was first introduced on the market, and it has ruled our taste ever since.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The so-called "anti-adipose" green tea variant acts as a very powerful laxative on the system, purging all the toxins and accelerating the elimination of heavy metals accumulated in the organs. However, it is highly important that you respect the recommendations for the administration of the supplement, particularly if you haven't used anything similar before. The active principles in the green tea no longer allow the absorption of toxins in the blood stream at the colon level, thus improving your general health condition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Together with ginseng root, green tea is considered a longevity stimulator, fighting the effects of old age by a direct influence on the free radicals at the cell level. A cup of green tea may help you lose some weight, improve digestion or simply get a general sense of well-being by a boost of energy.

Oxygen is delivered through nasal cannula.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using a concentrator is an economical way of producing oxygen and as it is portable, can be used on aircrafts, cruise ship and at home .They can be rented or bought according to the need. The main advantages of using a concentrator over other oxygen devises are that it requires minimum maintenance and does not need refilling. It can provide unlimited oxygen when it's plugged in and turned on in the room. It is very light and portable which makes it ideal for traveling and moving.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the good companies that are manufacturing these oxygen producing units or concentrators are Inogen one, CHAD, Aerox and many others. The need for using these artificially filtered oxygen supply is specifically for people suffering from COPD or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These diseases encompass chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The main feature of these respiratory diseases is narrowing of the airways due to inflammation of the walls of the air sacs in the lungs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best new feature of concentrator Inogen One is that it allows for mobility with the Inogen One Satellite Conserver. The satellite conserver allows the patient to move around about 100 feet from the main unit. This technological advancement has become possible due to the converter taking control of conserving function and functions like a remote control for the main Inogen One unit. The remote control can be worn like a necklace, attached to the belt and can also be placed in the pocket.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although the advantages heavily outweigh the disadvantages but they are still worth mentioning. The main disadvantage is that as it runs on electricity, there is a marked increase in the bill .Its run on electricity, due to power cuts and outrages, aback up oxygen system might be needed. Its maximum capacity is 5 liters of oxygen per minute and cannot deliver oxygen at higher flow levels. When its run a lot of heat is produced and noise is also there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-5816997978904822296?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/5816997978904822296/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=5816997978904822296' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5816997978904822296'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5816997978904822296'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/using-concentrator-effectively.html' title='Using A Concentrator Effectively'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-7474704861727335603</id><published>2007-06-14T06:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-14T06:40:11.831-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='low carb diet menu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='low carb diet'/><title type='text'>Low Carb Diet Menu- How To Cook A Tasty Low Carb Breakfast! - Part I</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you tired of eating the same old boring food everyday?

He asks questions about the patient's medical and emotional health, menstrual history, whether they are under any medications, about their lifestyle, if they smoke, if they consume dugs, alcohol or caffeine. All these can help the doctor establish what kind of test to perform.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The following tests can be performed to determine the cause of infertility:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~monitoring  the body's temperature in order to determine if the ovulation takes place;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; ~an urine test to detect LH surges helps to determine the ovulation's day;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; ~in order to determine the hormone levels blood and urine tests can be performed;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; ~ the doctor takes tissue samples of the uterus to establish if the corpus luteum produces an appropriate quantity of progesterone so that to the risk of premature ovarian failure or the absence of ovulation could be eliminated;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; ~the woman can take clomiphene citrate (a fertility drug) on days 5 and 9 of the menstrual cycle and on the 10th day the doctor measure FSH to test the ovarian reserve;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; ~women with ovarian failure should take into consideration a test for autoimmune disease like diabetes or hypothyroidism;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If  these tests don't show off any result (which is very possible), then other procedures are performed for examining the uterus:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1)the ultrasound procedure uses sound waves, is painfree and is used to evaluate the ovaries and the uterus in order to detect ovarian cysts and tumors, fibroids.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2) Hysterosalpingography is a procedure used to discover any abnormalities of the uterus and an eventual blockage in the fallopian tubes. A small tube is inserted into the cervix and a special dye is injected through this tube into the uterus and the fallopian tubes. The uterus and the fallopian tubes filled with this dye are exposed to an X-ray. If the X-ray shows that the dye emerges from the end of the tube then ther's no blockage. It exist the risk of pelvic infection so it is recommended that the patient take antibiotics before the procedure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3)the hysteroscopy procedure uses a tube (hysteroscope) inserted into the vagina, then into the cervix all the way to the uterus. The hysteroscope is equipped with a small camera that allows the doctor to view the uterus. This procedure may detect conditions like: fibroids, pelvic scar tissue, endometriosis and coect them by eliminating the scar tissues that may attache organs together. There are some risks associated with this procedure such as:infection, bleeding, or side effects of the anesthesia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-6243904789768681189?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/6243904789768681189/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=6243904789768681189' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6243904789768681189'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6243904789768681189'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/infertility-diagnosis-for-women.html' title='Infertility Diagnosis For Women'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-3812996617266267589</id><published>2007-06-11T10:15:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-11T10:15:55.024-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='self help treatment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sprains and strains'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='practical self help'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='skin discolo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='minor abrasions in adults'/><title type='text'>First Aid Homeopathy - Minor Bruises</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bruising is most likely to occur as part and parcel of a fall or minor mishap, such as stubbing your toe or accidentally hammering your finger during some routine DIY. However a serious accident can result in quite severe internal bruising and this would fall outside the remit of home prescribing and demand urgent, professional medical attention. Common symptoms of mild bruising can include any of the following: Pain and tenderness at the site of the blow or injury, swelling of the injured are, Localized, progressive discoloration of the skin that changes from red to purple and eventually to a rather lurid bluish-greenly-yellow in the last stages of healing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Practical self-help - As long as the skin around the bruise hasn't been broken, apply an ice pack to ease pain and reduce inflammation. Bruises, where the skin hasn't been cut or grazed, can be greatly soothed by an application of Arnica cream. This reduces any pain and tenderness and also encourages the traumatized tissue to reabsorb blood, thereby speeding up the healing process. If a limb has been badly bruised, keeps it moving as much as possible in order to keep the blood circulating. Witch hazel has a very soothing, cooling effect on bruised skin. However, it is highly astringent and therefore may not be suitable for anyone with very sensitive skin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CAUTION! IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OCCUR, GET SWIFT MEDICAL ASSISTANCE: A serious fall or major accident that has resulted in the casualty feeling drowsy or confused, Any injury to the head, Bruising of the eye socket, In addition, get your doctor's opinion if you notice that the skin is repeatedly bruising for no reason, or if bruises take longer than a few days to heal - ideally, even a nasty bruise shouldn't take longer than this to show sign of recover.  We need to put  medicine as fast as we can  to rub of the pain and tenderness. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-3812996617266267589?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/3812996617266267589/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=3812996617266267589' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3812996617266267589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3812996617266267589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/first-aid-homeopathy-minor-bruises.html' title='First Aid Homeopathy - Minor Bruises'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-1262728768761261740</id><published>2007-06-10T11:42:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-10T11:42:43.960-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='benefits of tea'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tea'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='green tea'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='benefits of honey'/><title type='text'>The Perfect Match of Tea and Honey</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the Chinese folklore, in 2737 BC. Chinese emperor Ksan Nung found the tea beverage while he was drinking a glass of hot water. The wind dropped into the glass a leaf from the tree under which the emperor was sitting. He found the concoction to be a great improvement from plain boiling water. And after this he gave orders for growing teas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, tea has hundreds of species in different genera and is a popular thirst quencher and the most commonly consumed beverage in the world after water. The Chinese and Japanese have a habit of drinking the beverage in the afternoon and the British people drink several cups of it every day. Tea-drinking is national pastime in India, where the biggest production of the plants is. Green tea herb is especially liked by people from Far East, and the semi-fermented tea, especially the oolong (black dragon) by people of south China and Taiwan. Black tea is consumed relatively more in Europe. Beyond its taste for enjoyment, tea is packed with various health perks. It contains anti-cancer polyphenols, essential oils, some vitamins (E and some from B group) and minerals, including a high percent of zinc which is important for pregnant women. The more processing tea leaves undergo, the darker they become. Green tea, the least processed tea, is simply steamed quickly. Black and red teas are partially dried, crushed and fermented.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tea has long since been associated with nearly every meal in many countries and accepted as a healthy supplemental drink. Scientific studies suggesting that medical benefits of tea can improve a person's health have sparked new interest in tea as an alternative drink. A cup of tea contains an average of 40mg of caffeine, compared to 85mg as found in a cup of freshly brewed coffee. The heart-health and cancer-preventive benefits of black and green teas are well-publicized. Scientists point to a natural class of antioxidants called flavonoids found in many natural plant-derived foods, including tea. These antioxidants help remove the body of molecules called free radicals, which are body damaging by-products from pollution and the natural aging process. Free radicals in the body's cells are very unstable and tend to react negatively with other important molecules like DNA, causing malfunctions and damages on the cellular level. The destruction of these free radicals paves the way for many diseases including cancer. It is also believed that antioxidants have positive effects on dental health. Studies showed that rinsing the mouth with black or green tea may prevent cavities and gum disease. The antioxidants in black tea inhibit the growth of bacteria that promotes cavities and affect their ability to attach to tooth surfaces. Research suggests that tea may also increase bone-mineral density and drinking tea regularly for years may produce stronger bones. It also indicates that older women who are tea drinkers are less likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than those who do not drink tea. Tea drinkers may be surprised to learn another health benefit of tea: blood pressure control. Drinking a half-cup of green or oolong tea per day could reduce a person's risk of high blood pressure according to some studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many people use honey to naturally sweeten tea in replacement of table sugar due to its associated health benefits. A good source of carbohydrates, natural honey sweetens with no additives or preservatives. Because of its composition, pure honey has a lesser effect on glucose and insulin levels. Both tea and honey are known to contain antioxidants, which help prevent damage to cells and tissues that contribute to diseases like cancer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Personally I am very fascinated and intrigued by how the hundreds of varieties of honey can mix and match with these tea blends to customize and suit personal moods and preferences in taste. I cannot imagine the kind of exciting impact these multiple combinations would have on our sensory experiences, and not to mention the natural health benefits inherent in both products. We don't have to be a connoisseur to experiment the various honey-tea combinations. It's fun and easy, just incorporate it into each morning's breakfast, afternoon snack, or family party. For instance, avocado honey variety can go with Earl Grey tea, and clover honey with either lemon or mint tea for a unique taste, Tupelo honey variety with jasmine tea, and eucalyptus honey with Irish Breakfast tea. Blueberry honey's pronounced taste adds zest to mild tea blends such as Earl Grey or English Breakfast. Orange blossom honey, one of the most versatile varieties adds a new dimension to most tea blends. Some think it's best with black teas such as Ceylon and Darjeeling. Teas with strong distinctive tastes, such as Jasmine or Apple cinnamon, go well with mild-flavoured Alfalfa honey. Sage honey, yet another mild variety complements intense tea flavours including orange spice, lemon, and mint.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, why not consider including 1-2 cups of tea as a healthy part of your daily diet. The flavour possibilities are endless and perhaps limited only by your imagination. Lastly, remember, when adding honey into tea, wait till it's not too hot to avoid destroying its natural goodness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-1262728768761261740?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/1262728768761261740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=1262728768761261740' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/1262728768761261740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/1262728768761261740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/perfect-match-of-tea-and-honey.html' title='The Perfect Match of Tea and Honey'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-4696011265578045526</id><published>2007-06-08T07:44:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-08T07:44:30.035-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='goji benefits'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wolfberry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='goji berries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='goji powder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='goji health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='goji'/><title type='text'>What Are Goji Berries and Are They the Same As Wolfberries?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;There's a marvelous little red berry that grows all around the world, and people in different places call it by different names.  Many English speaking people call it a Wolfberry, and nowadays even more English speakers are calling it a Goji Berry.  But it's really the very same thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As we all know, Science assigns two Latin names to every botanical organism, a genus and a species.  Two plants that are even a little different from each other have different species names.  Thus, if two plants have the same genus and species names, they're the same plant.  People can call them by different names, but that doesn't change the fact that they're actually the same thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Goji berry/Wolfberry plant, whose genus is Lycium, has two closely related species.  One species is known as Barbarum and the other is Chinensis.  Both species grow in many places on the earth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since people in different countries tend to speak different languages, it's not surprising that Chinese and Tibetan people don't call these berries wolfberries.  China has many dialects.  The plant is frequently called g&amp;amp;#466;uq&amp;amp;#464; and the berries are called g&amp;amp;#466;uq&amp;amp;#464;zi (zi means "berry.")  "Goji" is a simplified pronunciation of g&amp;amp;#466;uq&amp;amp;#464;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A similar word can be found in other languages.  For example, in Korea the berry is called gugija, and in Thailand it is known as g&amp;amp;#259;o gè.  Tibetan has many names for the berries, including qouki, qou ki ji, quak qou, kew ji, and kew ki.  In Japanese the plant is called kuko and the fruit is known as kuko no mi or kuko no kajitsu.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In about 1973, the word "Goji" began to be used for the first time in English so English speakers could have a word for this berry that was similar to these Asian words.  Since then, the word "Goji" has been exploited by many marketers as the berries have appeared in more and more natural foods stores in the U.S.  The new word "Goji" is now quite commonly used.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's not really clear where the word "wolfberry" originated.  One theory is that it comes from the place name "Lycia", the ancient name for Anatolia, in Turkey, and "Lycia" can be heard in the name Lycium Barbarum. "Barbarum" means that the wolfberry plant might have come from elsewhere, such as China, originally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But this doesn't explain why it has the word "wolf" in it.  Thus, another possibility is that Lycium Barbarum comes from the Greek word "Lycos," or Wolf.  Wolves do eat berries and other fruits to get needed fiber in their diets.  They also eat tomatoes, the Latin name of which means "Wolf Peach" (Solanum lycopersicum.)  The word "lycos," or wolf, can be seen in the Latin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The genus Tomato (Solanum) contains another species, lycocarpum, which translates to Wolf Apple.  This medium sized yellow tomato isn't familiar to many of us because it grows in South America.  South American wolves eat them!  It's not the same plant as the tomato we're used to in North America.  What's my point?  I'm getting to that…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Goji berries and Wolfberries are in the Nightshade family (Solanaceae), and so are tomatoes!  Nightshades are an important source of food and spice. Nightshade species include potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, chili peppers (capsicum), deadly nightshade (belladonna), datura (jimson weed), tobacco, mandrake, wolfberry and many more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many of the species in this important family of foods are used in making herbal medicines by native peoples all around the world.  Some of them have psychoactive properties.  Goji berries are legendary as a medicinal plant and have been used as such for many centuries in many countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Goji berries and wolfberries have lots of other names such as boxthorn, Duke of Argyll's Tea Tree, Matrimony Vine, Bocksdorn, Cambronera, Chinese Wolfberry, and Red Medlar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The point here is that Lycium Barbarum and Lycium Chinensis are two completely different species, two completely different plants.  Many people proclaim different names for them.  They claim, for example, that "Tibetan Lycium Eleagnus Barbarum" is the REAL Himalayan Gogi berry, even though it doesn't actually exist as a species.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There's no question that these two species have different medicinal and nutritional properties, BECAUSE they're different species.  In fact, it's not only that different species are different from each other, it's also true that all the many VARIETIES of any one species are somewhat different chemically and therefore nutritionally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In some mountainous areas of Tibet and northern China there is what is commonly known as the "Goji belt," a fertile high altitude region where Goji plants are cultivated and grow wild. The "highest quality" Goji berries are produced in the best location and climate, which turns out to be this Goji belt.  This is because of the purity of the water and the mineral-rich soil washing down from the high mountains.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The political strife going on between Tibet and China is well known.  There is also Tibetan/Chinese political strife about what defines a Goji berry.  From a Western perspective, this is just plain confusing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, the name Tibet carries an unmistakable mystique.  It's therefore easy for Western marketers to capitalize on it, claiming the superiority of TIBETAN Goji berries over all others.  But, as we've shown, from a scientific perspective, "Tibetan" Goji berries don't exist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tibet, a country more vertical than horizontal, mostly dry, infertile and arid, with few roads among the highest mountains in the world, is not famous for farming.  It's adjacent to China.  The political boundaries really don't matter to the land or the Goji plants; instead, as has been mentioned, the soil and the climate are the important factors when growing Chinese wolfberries and Goji berries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The highest quality berries have the highest levels of glyconutrients and are grown in Ningxia and Xinjiang provinces in China, right in the Goji belt.  These areas have exceptional growing seasons, unusually alkaline soil, adequate rainfall and extreme temperature fluctuations from 102 to -16 degrees F.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Goji belt produces four grades of Goji berries: super, king, special and Grade A.  The largest berries are "super," second largest are "king," etc.  You might find marketers advertising their berries as the biggest, but they're still all the same berry, Lycium Barbarum.  They're that unless, of course, they're Lycium Chinensis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wolfberries, Gojis, they're wonderful.  It's easy for politics and marketers to confuse and blow smoke all around a bushel of Goji berries or Goji juice.  However, nothing clouds the central fact that this unique little berry is the biggest nutritional powerhouse in the world!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-4696011265578045526?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/4696011265578045526/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=4696011265578045526' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/4696011265578045526'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/4696011265578045526'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/what-are-goji-berries-and-are-they-same.html' title='What Are Goji Berries and Are They the Same As Wolfberries?'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-4980351672479008955</id><published>2007-06-07T08:11:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-07T08:11:43.628-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='omega 3 fatty acids and inflammation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='importance of omega 3 fatty acids and the best sources'/><title type='text'>The Connection Between Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Inflammation</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Research concerning omega 3 fatty acids and inflammation indicates that these fats may &lt;B&gt;prevent chronic inflammation&lt;/B&gt;, relieve the symptoms of conditions related to chronic inflammation and possibly prevent life threatening diseases linked to chronic inflammation.  Here we look at the importance of omega 3 fatty acids and the best sources for including them in the daily diet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To clearly understand the relationship between omega 3 fatty acids and inflammation, it is important to understand that inflammation is a normal immune system response to injury or illness.  But, when inflammation occurs that is not due to injury or illness, it is associated with pain, as in conditions such as rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.  In addition, chronic inflammation has now been linked to many life threatening diseases, including cancer and heart disease.  Understanding the importance of omega 3 fatty acids and the best sources for adding them to the daily diet is crucial for good health at all ages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The options for treating chronic inflammation are limited and come with health risks and side effects.  Researchers looking for new alternatives have been pleased with the results of clinical and laboratory studies related to omega 3 fatty acids and inflammation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Currently there are two common choices for treating inflammation.  Drugs that suppress immune system responses are one treatment choice, but suppressing immune system activity can lead to frequent infections and other health problems.  Anti-inflammatory drugs may relieve pain, but they act by suppressing the activity of a group of molecules known as eicosanoids.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eicosanoids are produced within the human body from omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids.  You may wonder why the body needs eicosanoids.  The simplest answer is that they signal activity in various systems of the body, including the immune system and central nervous system.  Some stimulate the production of hormones, responsible for many functions including growth and healthy sexual function.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All functions of the human body have a natural balance.  Some eicosanoids stimulate the constriction of blood vessels, while others stimulate dilation.  Some stimulate blood clotting, which is important for proper healing after an injury.  Others inhibit blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots within the blood vessels that can lead to heart attack or stroke.  Some stimulate inflammation.  Others inhibit inflammation or have anti-inflammatory activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Omega 3 derived eicosanoids are mostly anti-inflammatory.  Omega 6 derived eicosanoids are mostly inflammatory.  Most of the fats in the typical Western diet are omega 6 fats.  Scientists and other experts believe that this type of diet leads to chronic inflammation, because of the absence of countering anti-inflammatory omega 3 eicosanoids.  This is why many health organizations publicize the importance of omega 3 fatty acids and the best sources of these in the human diet are fish and fish oils.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Research related to omega 3 fatty acids and inflammation has shown that omega 3 supplementation decreases the breakdown of cartilage that occurs in arthritis.  Further research indicates that omega 3s not only counter the inflammatory affects of omega 6s, but decrease the production of inflammatory eicosanoids by competing with omega 6s for the enzymes needed to create them.  Patients in clinical studies have reported reduction in pain, greater flexibility, less morning stiffness, higher energy levels and other benefits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bad news is that the dietary sources of omega 3 fatty acids are few.  Most foods contain far more omega 6 than omega 3 fatty acids, which is why most people consume too many omega 6 fats and not enough omega 3 fats.  Fish is the only common food that provides reasonable amounts of omega 3s, but even eating a serving of fish every day would not provide the recognized Adequate Intake of 1000mg per day.  People also have to be concerned about mercury and other contaminants in fish, but molecularly distilled fish oil supplements are a safe alternative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because nutritionists recognize the importance of omega 3 fatty acids and the best sources of them, &lt;B&gt;a daily fish oil supplement is commonly recommended.&lt;/B&gt;  Recommendations vary for various conditions, but 1000mg per day should be sufficient for healthy people.  Consumers should avoid fish oils that contain vitamin A (such as cod liver oil), as this vitamin can be toxic at high dosages.  Research concerning omega 3 fatty acids and inflammation is still on-going and will likely continue for years.  Thus far, the only negative side effects are diarrhea at high dosages and increased bleeding at dosages over 3000mg per day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-4980351672479008955?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/4980351672479008955/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=4980351672479008955' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/4980351672479008955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/4980351672479008955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/connection-between-omega-3-fatty-acids.html' title='The Connection Between Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Inflammation'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-6692143996658426497</id><published>2007-06-06T10:10:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-06T10:10:34.200-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bodybuilding'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Supplements'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muscle'/><title type='text'>Creatine Protein: Create the Ultimate Environment for Muscle Growth</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Creatine protein is one of the most imperative substances to any bodybuilder and potentially any athlete. Creatine provides the muscles with increased strength and extra available energy that is required to build up strength and lean muscle mass. Creatine and protein gives the muscles the ability to grow while providing the ability to also repair themselves. There are many rips and tears that can take place when strength or weight training and providing the body with the proper nutrients allows them the ability to heal. There are many supplements available today claiming to provide outrageous benefits however, it is the best advice to understand the separate components that make each supplement unique and effective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has become widely accepted in recent years that protein makes the very building blocks of the body. With that concept in mind it is easy to ascertain how a combination of creatine and protein together in one supplement could provide an excellent source of nutrition for the body. Creatine protein gives the body essential amino acids that are required for the body to create natural creatine in the muscles as well. They also help the bones stay strong, keep tendons strong and healthy as well as maintaining healthy organs. Creatine and protein provides nutrition to the many aspects of strength training and packs it all in one fantastic supplement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Glycogen becomes an important player when creatine protein is added to the mixture. This is because glycogen is type of carbohydrate that is stored within the muscle and is responsible for actually fuelling the muscle. The creatine protein supplements encourage the muscles to store more glycogen so that when intense sessions of strength training are conducted, more oxygen is available for the muscles. The cardiopulmonary system can't keep up to the demands placed on it when intensely training so the added element of storage through glycogen is a welcome addition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Results cannot be expected to be immediate when first beginning Creatine and protein supplement therapy. The chemical reactions that follow after ingesting creatine protein creates muscle fullness to provide longer training sessions as a building block to promote increased strength. While these benefits are a result of taking Creatine and protein, any good trainer will say that the body needs time to properly absorb and utilize the supplement. Remember, there aren't any magic solutions to gaining increased strength and muscle mass. There are only supplements available to create the right environment in the muscles to promote that growth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unlock the potential in any weight or strength training and give Creatine and protein supplements a try. Whether its building muscle mass or strength training, Creatine and protein provides the muscles with the right nutrition to promote growth. Make finding a quality creatine protein supplement a priority and begin to experience the intense energy that only creatine protein can provide!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-6692143996658426497?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/6692143996658426497/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=6692143996658426497' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6692143996658426497'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6692143996658426497'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/creatine-protein-create-ultimate.html' title='Creatine Protein: Create the Ultimate Environment for Muscle Growth'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-2727513663905582357</id><published>2007-06-05T07:44:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-05T07:44:55.760-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healthy diet plans'/><title type='text'>Healthy Diet Plans-Living A Long Life Through A Healthy Diet</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many people falsely believe that their lack of good health is a result of bad genetics or simple bad luck.  Actually, you have almost complete control over our health, and it's through eating healthy diet plans.  Believe it or not, the foods you put into your body are almost entirely responsible for your overall health and fitness state.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good eating habits can overcome bad genetics and luck anytime.  Here are some tips to get you on the right track to eating healthy foods and living a long and healthy life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fist of all, increase your consumption of raw foods.  Raw foods are any foods that have enzymes in them to aid in digestion. Try to make sure you consume at least 75% of your foods raw.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are the foods you should be primarily focusing on: fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and sprouts.  These foods will help you live a long and healthy life.  The reason they are so good for you is that they all come from the plant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How natural is it to consume an animal that has been living in extremely cramped quarters its' whole life and has been fed large amounts of food to increase their body fatso they provide more meat?  Does this strike you as a natural way to eat and stay healthy?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the contrast, some of the healthiest and longest living civilization in the world consume primarily raw foods.  Believe it or not, despite what you've heard about not being able to obtain enough protein and other essential elements through plant foods, they actually provide every essential vitamin and mineral your body needs to stay healthy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take protein, for instance.  A common myth is that you can't get enough protein through plant food.  Actually, there are many different excellent protein sources provided by raw foods.  Great examples would be carrots and especially raw nuts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make sure, however, that you soak your nuts before consuming them raw.  Raw and unsoaked nuts contain enzyme inhibitors that, when you eat them, will make you feel tired.  Soaking the nuts releases theses enzymes and allows you to enjoy soaked nuts and feel great as a result.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bottom line: your health is in your hands.  It is not up to luck, fate, or genetics-it is up to you.  If these healthy diet plans seem overwhelming to you, don't attempt to change your whole diet overnight; take your time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try eating one healthy meal a week, and gradually increase that number.  The more you consume these natural foods, the better you will feel, and the more motivate you will be to eat this way.  Follow these healthy diet plans, and watch your overall health, happiness and quality of life skyrocket faster than you ever thought possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-2727513663905582357?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/2727513663905582357/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=2727513663905582357' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2727513663905582357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2727513663905582357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/healthy-diet-plans-living-long-life.html' title='Healthy Diet Plans-Living A Long Life Through A Healthy Diet'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-4957500262417024420</id><published>2007-06-04T13:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-04T13:26:55.477-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lowering Cholesterol Guide'/><title type='text'>Lowering Cholesterol - Our Guide For Lowering Cholesterol</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lowering cholesterol is easier for some people than others. There are a few known factors to this problem. Many experts deduce that genetics is one of the major causes to it being harder for some people to lower their cholesterol on their own without prescription drugs. Another factor may be simply lack of whole hearted effort and/or willingness in following the suggested diet and exercise routine to lower cholesterol naturally. Another reason is lack of knowledge. Many times research is not done thoroughly before starting a regimen worthy of lowering cholesterol. One of the main misconceptions when trying to lower cholesterol levels is that simply avoiding fatty foods that have cholesterol listed on their labels is enough to do the trick.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Thoroughness&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While it is not possible to change the genetics that may make it harder to lower cholesterol, it is possible to be thorough in the effort to reduce LDL cholesterol, "bad" cholesterol, levels. Lowering cholesterol requires the knowledge of what foods need to be avoided and what foods need to be added to the diet. Lowering cholesterol in the diet takes more than just reading labels. Even if LDL cholesterol is avoided, tests may not come back with satisfactory results as it is equally important to raise HDL cholesterol, "good" cholesterol, and to have physical activity maintained or added to everyday life. &lt;br /&gt; Addition to Cholesterol Lowering Diet&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are products that can help with lowering levels of LDL cholesterol when a cholesterol lowering diet does not work well enough. Physicians tend to lean toward prescription drug therapy when diet and exercise does not lower the levels significantly. The downfall of these drugs is, as with most prescriptions, that the side affects that can range from mere annoyance to serious health issues. Some of these side effects may include: diarrhea, constipation, severe muscle cramps with possible muscle and tissue damage that can lead to heart failure, and nausea. Another viable option may be one of the natural products that are on the market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The natural products do not have the side effects of drug therapy. Many of those products may even have benefits for other health issues as well. As with any other health related issue it is always best to discuss the treatment plan with a physician as there could be many different factors involved in high cholesterol treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Benefits of Regular Exercise&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No matter which method of lowering cholesterol is chosen, experts agree that results are more impressive when regular exercise is added to the equation. Regular exercise helps keep the blood flowing well, which in turn helps the body move cholesterol to the liver for excretion once the cholesterol has served its purpose helping to build cell walls and produce hormones such as estrogen and testosterone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-4957500262417024420?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/4957500262417024420/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=4957500262417024420' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/4957500262417024420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/4957500262417024420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/lowering-cholesterol-our-guide-for.html' title='Lowering Cholesterol - Our Guide For Lowering Cholesterol'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-1273740172566199680</id><published>2007-06-03T17:21:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-03T17:21:27.189-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='green tea diet patch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='green tea'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='green tea diet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diet green tea'/><title type='text'>Green Tea Diet Patch - The Rudiments</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Green tea diet patches are one of the latest fads to hit the weight loss industry. Reportedly the results of years of research, diet patches entail the use of transdermal technology to eliminate hunger and burn fat at the same time. Here are the basic features of a green tea diet patch and how it works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A green tea diet patch is one of the many types of diet patches that abound the market today. It is an all-natural weight loss patch designed to help you reduce weight by stimulating the thyroid gland. The components in the green tea diet patch gently increase the body's metabolism to help break down fatty tissues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The green tea diet patch uses a transdermal method of delivery to allow the skin to easily absorb the ingredients within the patch. Transdermal (trans meaning through, dermal meaning skin) or patch technology is currently being used for fever relief, pain relief, smoking cessation, body detoxication and birth control. The increasing popularity of patches can be attributed to the ease of use and consistent dosage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although the green tea diet patch is currently available in various types, most contain a combination of four basic ingredients, which are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;·	Guarana – standardized for caffeine, a stimulant that features gentle fat burning or thermogenic characteristics&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;·	Chromium – used to regulate insulin function and balance the levels of blood sugar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;·	Garcinia cambogia – standardized for HCA-hydroxycitric acid, advertised as a means to prevent carbohydrates from being converted into fat through the inhibiting action of the enzyme citrate lyase&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;·	Fucus vesiculosus (or bladderwrack or brown seaweed) – marketed by diet patch makers to burn fat, bladderwrack is high in iodine, which is used by the thyroid gland to make the different thyroid hormones needed for optimum performance&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A green tea diet patch can better transport medication to the body at even and consistent levels over several hours. Pills, on the other hand must be taken a number of times each day, whereas the diet patch needs only a single application. Skin safety is also ensured as patches are manufactured with 100 percent pharmaceutical-quality elements to prevent sensitive skin from becoming irritated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are the procedures involved when using a green tea diet patch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1.	Choose a clean, dry and hairless area on the skin on your upper body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.	Then peel off a green tea diet patch and apply it to the shoulder or back area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.	Be sure to leave the patch in place 24 hours a day to promote weight loss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.	Drink a minimum of 8 ounce glasses of water each day to flush out toxins from your body and to replace essential fluids.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5.	A well-balanced diet and exercise should go together with your green tea diet patch use to achieve maximum results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6.	Green tea diet patch use is recommended for at least 90 days or until such time that goals are met.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While anyone can use the green tea diet patch, it may not be suitable for some people including pregnant and lactating women, people suffering from diabetes, hypoglycemia, serious heart or thyroid problems, or those who are sensitive to iodine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-1273740172566199680?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/1273740172566199680/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=1273740172566199680' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/1273740172566199680'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/1273740172566199680'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/green-tea-diet-patch-rudiments.html' title='Green Tea Diet Patch - The Rudiments'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-6455741837510932191</id><published>2007-06-01T06:43:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-01T06:43:38.710-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acne prevention'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='skin nutrients'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='best foods for skin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healthy skin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='how to clear acne'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acne creams'/><title type='text'>10 Tips For Healthy Skin</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Healthy, younger looking skin is what everyone dreams of.  Healthy, younger looking skin is not hard to achieve. Looking after your appearance  and maintaining a regular routine and healthy diet can help to give you perfect  looking skin, free from spots and blemishes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Below are 10 tips that will help you on your way to clear,  beautiful skin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Your outside appearance reflects what's on your inside. Maintain  a healthy and balanced diet with   plenty of fruits, vegetables and sunflower seeds.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Try and drink 6 to 8 glasses of water per day. This will help to keep   your skin moist, refreshed and supple, which will help the skin fight off developing wrinkles and blemishes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Moisturize!  Applying moisturizer after a warm face wash or a warm shower is the best remedies for skin. Moisturizing helps to restore the oils that our skin has and helps to keep the skin hydrated. Moisturizing for men is just as important as the oils in men's skin can be lost more easily than those in women. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Protect yourself from sun and tanning studio's. The sun and tanning studio's are the main reasons for premature aging. By applying self tan spray or keeping your face well protected from UV rays can help to prevent premature aging.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Keep up regular exercise. Regular exercise helps to keep the skin elasticity which prevents wrinkles. Exercise is also good for your body as a whole as it helps to maintain a low amount of body fat. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. Taking vitamins and minerals helps to keep goodness in the skin. Vitamins and minerals have been developed to help your body. By taking one multivitamin can help to keep your skin fresh and clean. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. Try and maintain a constant sleep pattern. Sleep is the body's time to restore itself and to re-energies the body's organs and skin. By maintaining a regular sleep pattern, you will feel more energized and your skin will become more healthy and fresher looking. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. Do not scrub and wash too hard. By doing this it removes the required oils that the skin needs to regenerate. When washing, wash lightly and in circular motion. This helps to keep the blood flow in your skin and does not allow the essential oils to escape.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9. Do not squeeze spots. Although very tempting, by squeezing spots and black heads, the disease spreads and your acne will not disappear. By not squeezing your skin can heal the spot on its own and scars will not be formed. Constant squeezing of spots will cause scarring of the skin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10. Finally, the most important thing you can do to help achieve, younger healthier looking skin is to stop smoking or   never to start. Smoking  causes   premature aging and yellowing of the teeth and skin.  The tobacco that is released into the   air dries out your skin, while the smoke you inhale constricts the flow of blood to blood vessels,   therefore preventing your skin of essential nutrients that your body supplies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-6455741837510932191?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/6455741837510932191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=6455741837510932191' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6455741837510932191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6455741837510932191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/06/10-tips-for-healthy-skin.html' title='10 Tips For Healthy Skin'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-8223531209256655207</id><published>2007-05-31T08:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-31T08:45:21.506-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamin benefits'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamin nutrition supplement'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vitamins for energy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health food vitamins'/><title type='text'>Good Health Starts With The Right Food and Vitamins</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many health problems can be avoided by eating food that is naturally high in vitamins, minerals and fiber.  It is also a good idea to supplement your diet with a multiple vitamin that replenishes your system on a daily basis.  There are however, some foods that will definitely promote your health and are necessary to keep your body vibrant and youthful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1.  Many health experts agree on the value of fresh fruits and vegetables as a source of vitamins that will promote your well being.  The main reason behind this is the many natural vitamins that this food group contains.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everyone should include fruits and vegetables in their diet that are high in vitamin C.  This is a natural protector against communicable diseases such as colds and other viruses.  Oranges and apples have a large amount of this vitamin.  If you prefer, you can drink the juice instead of the solid food.  One 12 oz. glass of orange juice or the equivalent is recommended every day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.  One of the best sources for natural water known to mankind is contained in the fruits and vegetables we buy at the grocery store.  The natural water in these foods will be digested much better than other liquids and even bottled water itself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a tip that will help your body maintain a proper pH value also.  You must remember that your health depends on a good flow of food through the digestive tract.  That is a very good reason in itself to keep some natural water bearing fruits and vegetables on hand.  It's never too early in life to start this habit for better health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.  It is preferable to use food and vitamins to prevent certain diseases such as hardening of the arteries and discomforts of the abdominal system.  By eating healthy doses of natural food whenever you can, the risks of major problems occurring lessens over time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The vitamins that will do everyone good on a daily basis are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a.  Vitamin C.  One chewable tablet of orange flavored Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, 500mg.) per day is the recommended dose for adults.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;b.  Vitamin A - This vitamin has been shown to be present in salmon meat as Omega-3.  The results of a steady use of this vitamin is a better blood flow.  The recommended dose is one 200 I.U. gel tablet (Individual Units) per day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;c.  Everyone should switch to a 100% whole wheat bread.  Do not buy whole wheat bread that has enriched flour as its main ingredient.  100% whole wheat bread will provide you with Vitamins B-6 and B-12.  This will aid your digestion process and provide you with a good amount of fiber in your diet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.  Another good health tip is to switch to honey instead of sugar as your sweetener of choice.  Honey is of course all natural and is absorbed by your digestive system without a complicated breakdown process.  The benefit of using honey instead of refined sugar is less stored fat in your body over time.  Your system does not have to work as hard to absorb what it needs.  You get more of what you need and less of what you do not need when you eat honey.  It's a tasty change that most people can live with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A word of caution to diabetics:  Consult with your doctor before using honey because it is still a form of sugar.  It is just a form of sugar that is absorbed faster by the body. (Recommended)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The proper use of the right food and proper vitamins will promote your good health and give you more energy.  These tips are by no means the end of the story for anyone who wishes to stay healthy.  You must keep taking any medicine that is prescribed to you as well as the vitamins outlined here on a continual basis for maximum results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is because the levels of these nutrients must stay constant in your bloodstream to remain effective.  Your health depends on your vigilance in this matter.  Combining the right food with the right vitamins is a choice that will bring you closer to optimum health and a happier life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-8223531209256655207?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/8223531209256655207/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=8223531209256655207' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/8223531209256655207'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/8223531209256655207'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/good-health-starts-with-right-food-and.html' title='Good Health Starts With The Right Food and Vitamins'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-7588707772422288895</id><published>2007-05-30T12:18:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-30T12:18:22.594-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='George Foreman Grill'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healthy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='low fat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cooking'/><title type='text'>Why The George Foreman Grill Is So Popular</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;We all want to stay healthy and healthy eating is what the doctors encourage us to do. Not everyone will like to switch to a diet that is mainly based on fruits and vegetables when they have been consuming lots of fats and calories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the main concerns is that the food will be tasteless and plain. In comes the George Foreman grill to the rescue. This cooking appliance can assist you to cook tasty meals that you can think of.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many years ago when it was first in the market, there seems to be a craze over it. Just because a former heavyweight boxing champ had his name on it, does it means it is good? However many people believe it and soon every house has a set of George Foreman grill.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When people started using them for cooking non oil laden food with great results, the George Foreman grill gradually became in style.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps one of the most attractive features of this tool is the ease of using it. Many people savor the taste of grilled food but they did not know how to cook it the right way. With the ability of the George Foreman grill, you can easily get the flavor that only a large grill can offer and with all the convenience of an easy to use and solid design.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even for those who rarely cook, they will find sing it a breeze. More families are now using the grill several times weekly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can use the George Foreman grill for fish, chicken, beef and pork. Though there are many models around, choose one that suits the number of people you usually cook for. If your family size is four, choose the family size George Foreman grills. If there is just only two of you, use the smaller version.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another feature that many people love about this indoor grill is that cleaning it is simple. Just use a damp cloth and the grilling surface itself can be wiped clean. Some mild detergent can do the trick to remove any dirt marks outside of the George Foreman grill.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be warned that you cannot sink it into water as it is an electrical appliance. It will be damaged immediately.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In fact, when you have used it once, you will see the beauty of it. Many people love it because you can cook anything without using more oil. If you enjoy burgers, you can use the George Foreman grill to make a low-fat, healthy version of a hamburger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To cook a steak, just a small number of spices, you can cook up a lean piece of beef without any extra oil or salt. Now who says there is no easy way to cook?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-7588707772422288895?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/7588707772422288895/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=7588707772422288895' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/7588707772422288895'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/7588707772422288895'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/why-george-foreman-grill-is-so-popular.html' title='Why The George Foreman Grill Is So Popular'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-5899617886445438677</id><published>2007-05-29T15:23:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-29T15:23:17.060-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='showering'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='detergents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cleanliness'/><title type='text'>Natuaral Body Odor Is Healthy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;The frequent users of hand soaps and detergents are not aware that cleanliness can be dangerous to their health. That obsessive attempt by many people to destroy germs and bacteria has only opened up paths for those germs and bacteria to enter their body. The super clean people who try to live in super clean clothes or a super clean home are asking for trouble, and possibly a long stay in the hospital. The body has an immune system that fights germs and bacteria best. That immune system has to be battle hardened and battle ready. This can only happen when the immune system is in a constant state of war. Removing Germs and bacteria from the battle field gives the immune system a vacation, a vacation which it may never return from.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two of the most populated countries of the world use the least amounts of detergents and hand soaps per person. They are India and China, and yet those people are healthy and presentable. The main reason for them washing less is that their scarce water supply is used mainly for drinking and cooking. Only a wealthy person has an unlimited water supply. It is impossible for those people to have enough water to be able to wash their clothes and shower daily. Yet those billions live happily and survive without the constant use of soaps and detergents. That fact alone should prove that Americans are washing themselves obsessively and wasting their water and time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Body odor has been advertised to stem from unhygienic practices. It telegraphs that the person is in need of a shower. Being told that you have body odor can upset you so much that you will drop everything and quickly jump into that shower. The natural smell of the body has recently become a foul odor, and the nose has now become nature's enemy. The nose is on guard and is always working full time sniffing for foul odors. Even the most attractive people who have some body odor are now avoided as if they had a terrible disease. The perfect world for the nose would be an odorless world. It would be a world where the nose could breathe odorless air.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Anti-dirt industry makes billions of dollars each year creating a vision of dirt in each person's mind. The more dirt people see and want to eliminate the bigger their profits become. But they are going too far when they try to create the impression that the human body is naturally dirty. They even say that humans smell bad, and should be deodorized. This is not a fair way to make a profit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Human beings don't naturally smell bad nor are they naturally dirty. The dirt lies with the people that are pushing their cleansing products on us. Let's accept the way we smell and the homes we live in. A messy house and a strong body odor is a healthy sign.Lets learns to live with it and love it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-5899617886445438677?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/5899617886445438677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=5899617886445438677' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5899617886445438677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5899617886445438677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/natuaral-body-odor-is-healthy.html' title='Natuaral Body Odor Is Healthy'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-4619349744739650943</id><published>2007-05-28T19:11:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-28T19:11:23.595-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weight loss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Nutri System Diet'/><title type='text'>What Is The Nutri System Diet?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Weight loss is a multi-billion dollar industry. Through constant research conducted by companies, and doctors, many diets are very effective, and can be used no matter what lifestyle a person leads. There are now millions of different options available for the different needs, and habits of each dieter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It goes without saying that the Nutri System diet would have to be one of the most flexible and easy to use diets for effective weight-loss around. This is simply because it takes the guess work out of dieting, by educating dieters on what they need to do to lead a healthier lifestyle, and providing pre-packaged prepared meals for each day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Does The Nutri System Diet Work?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The plan is unique in the way it takes into account each individual on the diet, and calculates things such as age, height, weight and gender of the person to provide the best possible chance at weight loss. It works on a low fat diet plan, but it does not starve the body of essential fat intake, or much needed carbohydrates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carbohydrate intake is based on the glycemic index, and provides a healthy source of carbohydrates, and a lowered fat intake to promote weight loss. By using this approach, the person on the diet notices a reasonably quick reduction in weight without losing energy, or feeling irritable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What makes this weight loss program very simple for the dieter is that the plan does not require the person to count calories, or prepare their meals according to a plan. This type of diet is especially beneficial for those who lead a busy lifestyle, multi task, or would prefer to depend on others to plan their meals, and calculate the proper amount of food intake needed to lose weight, and stay healthy. Many people who want to control their tendency to over eat can also benefit from having prepared meal portions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Basically, the Nutri System diet plan is a balanced diet calculated individually for each person using it, and the correct amount of food intake that will speed up the process of weight loss is already provided. Providing pre-packaged meals, prepared for the individual, makes sure that the correct amounts of food are eaten, as well as the correct types of foods to promote weight loss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This eating plan works by following a basic guide of providing around 60% of carbohydrates, with the avoidance of carbohydrates that contain high amounts of starches in them, 20% protein, and 20% fats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pros And Cons Of The Nutri System Diet&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Like any diet, there are always pros and cons. One of the two major cons of the diet would have to be the dependency that the person on the plan has when they are using pre-prepared meals rather than being educated on how to prepare a healthy meal. Another con is the cost to participate in the program, as the food, and preparation from the company can be costly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some people may not be able to afford to use this diet plan, or may feel that the dependency on the pre-prepared meals is a bad thing. However, there are others that favor this method of dieting as they do not have to follow a weight loss regimen, count their calorie intake, or even prepare their own meals, since the food needed for each day is already prepared, and ready to be eaten.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The diet teaches the dieter to control their hunger, and educates the person on what is an appropriate amount of food needed for each meal to stay healthy, and lose weight. Those using it are also given a weekly counseling, teaching the person how to exercise to complement their weight loss efforts, and how each person's calorie intake is calculated, depending on the individual's needs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although the person following this method of losing pounds can become dependent on the pre-packaged meals, they are also educated on how to maintain their weight long-term afterwards. By using the skills taught in the weekly training course, those on the diet plan can learn how to control their weight after they have reached their desired weight goal, by preparing their own meals based on their unique calculations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This weight loss diet is not for everyone. Although, for the right people who are looking for already prepared meals, and quick healthy weight loss, the Nutri System diet plan is a very effective way to lose unwanted weight, and gain a new lifestyle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-4619349744739650943?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/4619349744739650943/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=4619349744739650943' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/4619349744739650943'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/4619349744739650943'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/what-is-nutri-system-diet.html' title='What Is The Nutri System Diet?'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-3046732673699074762</id><published>2007-05-27T13:11:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-27T13:11:53.305-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cholesterol'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cholesterol level'/><title type='text'>The Facts About Your Cholesterol Level</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's one thing to be told that cholesterol level is too high. It's another thing entirely to understand what that means and why it is important to bring it into check.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cholesterol level a person hears about in a doctor's office following a simple blood test is generally the read out of several different types of cholesterol in the bloodstream. Most tests look for a few different types of cholesterol, or fat, with three forms being vital for good health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The LDL, or low-density lipoprotein, is called the "bad" cholesterol. This form of fat is known for its ability to stick to plaque in the arteries and assist in hardening and clogging. When the level of this kind of cholesterol is too high, serious problems can be on the horizon. Issues that might arise include an increased risk for heart disease, heart attacks and even stroke. Bringing this down can greatly increase the risk for such conditions developing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, will also be checked as part of a standard cholesterol level test. This kind of cholesterol is known as the "good" kind. It has earned the reputation of being good simply because it is known to help remove bad cholesterol from the bloodstream and transport it to the liver where it can be removed from the body. When the levels of HDL are too low, it can be a problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Triglycerides are also checked in a standard test. This form of fat is the type the body tends to make all on its own. When these levels are too high, there is cause for concern.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When blood cholesterol level tests come back in, the most common reading will be in milligrams per deciliter of blood, which is written generally as mg/dL. The levels of cholesterol a person should have in their bloodstream will vary depending on age, but in general when a total cholesterol test comes back it should be under 200 mg/dL. Anything between 200 and 239 is considered borderline and 240 and above is a cause for concern.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If a test happens to break it down. The standard "normal" results will be 60 mg/dL or above for HDL or "good" cholesterol. LDL cholesterol level readings should be less than 100 mg/dL. Anything in the 130 to 159 range is considered borderline. At about 160, there is cause for concern. Triglyceride level should fall in at 150 mg/dL for the normal range.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finding out cholesterol level on a regular basic can help a person avoid one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease and stroke. When the numbers are known, the correct action can be taken. In some cases the tests will lead a doctor to recommend diet and exercise changes. In other cases, diet, exercise and even special medications will be ordered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Understanding cholesterol level and its implications on health can save a life. At the very least, the information can help a person make conscious decisions about their health and what they can do to improve it. Heart disease is a silent killer, but there are warning signs. Cholesterol level is a rather loud and clear sign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-3046732673699074762?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/3046732673699074762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=3046732673699074762' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3046732673699074762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3046732673699074762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/facts-about-your-cholesterol-level.html' title='The Facts About Your Cholesterol Level'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-2685960415889272227</id><published>2007-05-26T13:51:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-26T13:51:30.137-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abdominal workout'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='six pack abs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lose weight'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weight loss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abs workout'/><title type='text'>How Atkins Works</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Atkins Nutritional Approach™, as the Atkins diet is commonly known, has worked for several people with weight problems, although the opinion about its efficacy, especially in the long term, is divided among the medical community. Considerable controversy surrounds the program. Most other diets, and there are numberless of them out there, follow the principle of avoiding high-fat foods. But the Atkins diet allows things like red meat, bacon, butter, cheese, eggs and so on, which are all high in fat. Yet, to the utter surprise of everyone who repose their trust in the tried and tested low-fat diets, the Atkins diet works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reason is rather simple. The Atkins diet limits the consumption of foods containing large amounts of carbohydrates, such as rice, pasta, white bread, cereal and sugar. Your body burns its excess fat during a process consisting of four phases, which the late Dr. Robert Atkins developed. In his book Dr.Atkins New Diet Revolution, published in 1972, he advised dieters to cut down on only carbohydrates, not both fats and carbohydrates as had been the practice followed until then.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the first phase of Atkins diet, the dieter is allowed to eat only very small quantities of carbohydrates. The carbohydrates allowed are limited to a maximum of 20 grams per day, in the form of salads, or vegetables without starch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second phase allows the dieter to progressively increase the amount of carbohydrates by 5 grams (from the initial 0 - 20 grams in the first phase to 25 grams in the first week of the second phase) a day. Thereafter, as long as the dieter loses weight, the weekly increase of 5 grams of carbohydrates continues. Once the dieter reaches a stable weight, he has to reduce the carb-intake by 5 grams, so that he remains at the weight reached.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The purpose of the third phase is to help the dieter to maintain the weight reached at a steady level, if necessary, by increasing the intake of carbohydrates at the rate of 10 grams per week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fourth and final phase allows consumption of more foods of a wider variety, even though the carbohydrate consumption remains restricted. The idea is to maintain over a long period of time the weight reached in the earlier phases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The question about how exactly the Atkins diet works for weight loss can be answered either by referring to complex scientific processes like lipolysis and gluconeogenesis and so on or by using simple and direct explanation that may be easier to appreciate. When the body is starved of carbohydrates, which provide quite a bit of the energy required to run its various systems, it turns to its stored fat and burns it to replenish the energy deficit. As more and more of the stored fat is burnt to supply energy to the body, more and more weight is lost. Another thing is that by controlling the amount of carbohydrate-intake in the body, the Atkins diet controls the quantity of insulin in the body. Being a storage hormone, insulin converts carbohydrates into sugar and stores it as fat in the body, in the normal circumstances. However, when the quantity of carbohydrates is lower than normal, the sugar in the body is not stored in the shape of fat, but burnt instead. Again, the result is weight loss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Atkins has become popular for two reasons. One is that it works, especially when exercise goes with it. Two, it gives the dieters the freedom to eat the foods that are prohibited in other diet programs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-2685960415889272227?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/2685960415889272227/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=2685960415889272227' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2685960415889272227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2685960415889272227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-atkins-works.html' title='How Atkins Works'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-6544303075012164738</id><published>2007-05-24T16:57:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-24T16:57:51.755-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nutrition And Diet Therapy'/><title type='text'>Utilizing Nutrition And Diet Therapy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's no secret that the relationship between nutrition and overall health is recognized as legitimate and fundamental. The food we choose to put into our bodies has a profound and lasting impact on our weight, our health, and, ultimately, our longevity. A poor diet can mean a lifetime of illness and disease. But sadly, most people do not heed the advice of experts until they are facing a health crisis; at which time they embark upon nutrition and diet therapy to help put their bodies back into balance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nutrition and diet therapy works to eliminate those poor nutritional choices from the diet and replace them with choices focused on whole, natural foods. In some cases, it can be an overhaul in lifestyle; significantly minimizing – or even eliminating – foods that are fried, processed, or high in salt, sugar, or saturated fats. Nutrition and diet therapy will instead ask you to include fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat diary products as the staples in your diet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is by no means an easy lifestyle change for someone who is used to canned or boxed products and a steady stream of fast food. But it is a necessary change if you want to live a life of optimum health. In addition to the obvious advantages of implementing this lifestyle is the fact the payoff is immediate in terms of how you feel. You'll immediately begin to feel healthier and more energized.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apart from choosing the right kinds of food as a part of nutrition and diet therapy, there is also choosing the right amount of food. If most people would practice simple portion control, they could limit their calories enough to make a major impact on their weight and overall health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another part of nutrition and diet therapy is the flushing of your system. It is imperative that you drink at least eight glasses of water on a daily basis. Water acts as a natural appetite suppressant, hydrates and flushes the body, speeds the metabolism, and aids digestion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nutrition and diet therapy works to put your body back in line with what it needs to be healthy and efficient. If you are having difficulty making the right choices, work with a nutritionist to help develop a meal plan that works for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-6544303075012164738?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/6544303075012164738/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=6544303075012164738' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6544303075012164738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/6544303075012164738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/utilizing-nutrition-and-diet-therapy.html' title='Utilizing Nutrition And Diet Therapy'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-5449189386215683500</id><published>2007-05-23T08:09:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-23T08:09:37.165-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kids fitness equipment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='k'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='children&apos;s fitness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kids fitness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kids exercise videos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exercise for kids'/><title type='text'>Good Diet Necessities</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Its not all about nagging and forcing our children to engage themselves in exercise and fitness but another major necessity is to help and introduce good balanced and healthy diets in our households.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good diet and nutrition is essential to help our minds and body to stay healthy( Well maintained) fit and strong. It might be a bit hard for a parent to introduce healthy meals to her kids, all at once, but a gradual process can be the way forward.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try and have your kids to be part of the cooking. Shop around with them and let them pick what has to be cooked for dinner provided it will be a healthy and nutritious meal. In this way, the kids will always be looking forward to have the good and appetising meal of their own choice and  they  will gradually become enthusiastic when it comes to healthy living and well being.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This does not mean that your child has to get rid of all her favourite junk food or unhealthy snack, but make the intake limited.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fruits and vegetable Intake&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But how do you make kids to eat more fruits and vegetables, especially when they may only want to eat the famous  mcrubbish chicken nuggets and the traditional English fish and chips and you are not supposed to force kids to have their plates cleared or make meal times a chaos?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The easiest way is to let your kids become creative, let them help you make different recipes and dress up your serving line to draw attention to fruits and vegetables to encourage children to make these selections. Make it a routine and have a variety of the fruit and vegetables in case they get bored of having the same meal. More info at www.mancubs.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One trick that often works for both fruits and vegetables is to find foods that your kids already like to eat, like smoothies, muffins, yogurt, etc., and find recipes that allow you to add fruits or vegetables to them, like banana or zucchini muffins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Creativity on Fruits&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other helpful tips might be to:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"	let your kids pick the fruits they want to eat when you go shopping&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"	mix fruit pieces in with yogurt or serve them with a dip or sauce&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"	make fruit crunchies&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"	offer a fruit salad,for example mixep up with oranges, grapes, strawberries, etc. as a dessert or snack&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"	make a snack mix with raisins, nuts and cereal&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"	add chopped fruit, especially berries and bananas, to your child's cereal&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"	try dried fruits&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Creativity on Vegetables&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"	As it will always work, trust me on this one, let you child help you when preparing the meal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"	Have a back yard garden, where your child can be excited on eating and growing the vegetables.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"	Serve the vegetables on their favorite meals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"	Let them know about the nutritious values and benefits in what they eat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Written By Sphephile Peppy Sibanyoni&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-5449189386215683500?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/5449189386215683500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=5449189386215683500' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5449189386215683500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/5449189386215683500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/good-diet-necessities.html' title='Good Diet Necessities'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-3897924539725608640</id><published>2007-05-22T06:41:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-22T06:41:00.160-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fastest weight loss program'/><title type='text'>What is the Fastest Weight Loss Program?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are so many ways that people have that they can lose weight. From low carb and low sugar to outright deprivation there are more ways that a person could lose weight than they could ever try in a lifetime. While I don't promote or recommend most weight loss programs, I have in my lifetime tried most of them. They do work, and some with some great success, but most of them are not something that an average person could spend the rest of their lifetime doing. That is why most, if not all, of the quick loss weight loss programs are doomed to failure in the long run and can lead to a dangerous weight loss and gain cycle that can end up putting more weight on you than you started out with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are, as in all things, exceptions to the rule. And if you are trying to jump start your weight loss program to get yourself motivated and really into the fat burning phase there are some ways to do it. It might also be that you have something important coming up and you want to look just a little better for it. Well if that is the case here is the fastest weight loss program, and another on top of it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have a month or two to lose the weight that you want to lose you really can't beat the low carb weight loss program, such as Atkins. I personally have lost a lot of weight in a months time using Atkins. The reason that it works so well is that you are putting your body into ketosis, and forcing it to burn fat. This can also have some negative repercussions as well so I do not recommend staying on Atkins for a long period of time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another way to lose some weight quickly is to cut calories like mad and do up your exercise. This will only work for the short term because eventually your body will figure out that you are starving it and will go into starvation mode. If you stay at this level too long you will slow your metabolism and it may take some time to restart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So when looking for the fastest weight loss program make sure that you are not going after it for the long haul. Losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight are a lifelong project, so start fast if you must but remember that good health takes time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-3897924539725608640?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/3897924539725608640/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=3897924539725608640' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3897924539725608640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3897924539725608640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/what-is-fastest-weight-loss-program.html' title='What is the Fastest Weight Loss Program?'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-5013274007862820834</id><published>2007-05-21T10:12:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-21T10:12:41.945-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='high calorie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weight conscious'/><title type='text'>Test Your Calorie Smarts - Part 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;For those of us weight-conscious folks, dining out can easily be a high calorie nightmare.  Offerings of lean, low calorie foods seem to be few and far between.  In fact it is downright difficult, if not impossible, to choose restaurant foods that are the best calorie bargains.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you a calorie-sleuth?  Time to step up to the plate. (No pun intended.)  Let's see how you do with this quiz*:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1.	Which dinner entrée contains the most calories?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; a.	Grilled Steak Caesar Salad with toast from Applebee's&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; b.	Chicken Pasta with Focaccia Bread Dinner Plate from Shari's&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; c.	Whopper (with cheese and mayo) and medium French fries from Burger King&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Whopper meal, right?  Wrong.  The Caesar salad wins top honors with 1295 calories, more than the Burger King fare with 1119 calories.  The chicken pasta entrée from Shari's comes in lowest at 959 calories.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Moral of the story:  Just because it's a salad doesn't mean it's low in calories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.  Let's try another one.  Which one of these has the most calories?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a.   South Western Chicken Fajita Salad with Tortilla from IHOP&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;b.   Southwest Philly Roll-up with sour cream, salsa and French fries             from Applebee's&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;c.  Chicken Marsala meal from Olive Garden&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; If you picked b, the Roll-up, congratulations you chose correctly.  2231 calories to be exact.  The Fajita Salad placed second with 1090 calories, and the Chicken Marsala the lowest at 973 calories.  None of these is a nutritional bargain, though, as all have over half of their calories coming from fat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.  Which of the following lunch choices would set you back the most calories?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a.  Double Meat Steak and Cheese Sub (6 inch) from Subway&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;b.  Deep Dish Meat Lovers Delight Pizza (1 slice) from Sbarro&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;c.  Turkey Ranch Swiss sub (8 inch, no dressing) from Quizno's&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The pizza slice, at 780 calories, is the winner here.  Next the Quizno's sub at 691 calories with the Subway choice containing the fewest calories at 540.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.  Which of these selections from Nothing But Noodles contains the most calories?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; a.	Asian Thai Peanut Noodles, ½ bowl&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; b.	Italian Fettuccini Alfredo, ½ bowl&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; c.	American Beef Stroganoff, ½ bowl&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This one is easy, right?  Winning first place with the highest total is the Alfredo bowl at 723 calories followed by the Asian bowl at 568. The lowest calorie choice among these is the Beef Stroganoff bowl with 508 calories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5.  Got a hankering for something sweet?  Which of these wins the top calorie prize?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a.  Blueberry scone from Starbuck's&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;b.  Apple pie slice from Shari's&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;c.  Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; If you chose the Cinnamon Roll, you are right.  Coming in at a whopping 813 calories, it's the highest of the bunch.  The slice of pie ranks second at 666 calories, the scone lowest at 400 calories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6.  Okay, one last one for all of you chocolate-lovers. Which one of these has the most calories?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; a.	 Triple Chocolate Meltdown from Applebee's&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; b.	Chocolate Thunder from Down Under from Outback Steakhouse&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; c.	Triple Chocolate Cake from Nothing But Noodles &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Outback choice wins hands down at 1220 calories. Unbelievable, isn't it?  This is over ½ the daily caloric needs of many adults…contained in just one dessert!  (Imagine the calorie total after adding in the rest of the dinner.)  Not that the other two choices are much lower. The Applebee's Chocolate Meltdown comes in at 727 calories, and the Nothing but Noodles Chocolate Cake a "mere" 710 calories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How did you do?  Don't despair if your calorie-sleuthing needs some fine tuning, there is help available at www.calorieking.com.  This site contains an extensive listing of the nutritional content for many of your favorite restaurant foods.  Try consulting it before eating out.

And please don't get me wrong, I am in no way suggesting in this article that we all give up trying to eat right and start living on a diet of Twinkies and Yodels. That would certainly be a one way ticket to an early grave. However, we can't bury our heads in the sand regarding the real condition of the food that we eat. In this article, I'm going to take a good hard long look at some of the things that we put into our bodies that we truly believe are good for us. In today's world, good is a very relative term, as you will soon find out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let's start with something that almost everybody will agree is good for you. I'm talking about fresh fruits and vegetables. Certainly there can be nothing wrong with these wonders of nature. They're loaded with vitamins and minerals and help keep us healthy. Well, they're also loaded with something else that is hard to get around unless we go to special organic farms. See, in today's world where everything is about the mighty dollar, keeping our crops from being eaten by predators is our main concern. After all, every apple with a worm is one less apple that we can sell to the public. To achieve these ends, our fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides in order to keep the critters away. Well, as bad as the pesticides are for the critters, they're even worse for us. Yes, the government has strict regulations on these pesticides and insist that the levels are not harmful. I prefer to take what my government says with a grain of salt. If you want to be really safe in this area, get your fruits and vegetables from an organic farm where they don't use pesticides. You'll pay a lot more, but it's worth it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What about our fresh meats? I'm not talking about the ones that aren't any good for you anyway, like pork or beef. I'm talking about the lean meats like chicken and turkey. Certainly these meats that are low in cholesterol and fat have to be good for you, right? Well, have you ever seen what these chickens and turkeys are given in order to fatten them up? They're given drugs. Guess where those drugs are going. Right into our bodies. Again, the FDA says the levels are harmless. Again, we won't go there. If you want to make sure the meat you eat is really good for you, make sure it comes from a farm where the animals are not given drugs to make them look like Arnold what's his name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What about fish? Certainly fish is very good for you, right? Well, it all depends on the levels of mercury found in the ocean where these fish have been floating around. In case you're not aware of this, the sea is not as clean as it once was. With all the dumping and polluting of our waters, eating fish can actually be hazardous to your health, depending on the fish you're eating.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The truth is, because of the industrial age we live in, the days of truly natural food are close to being over. We can come close, and certainly eating an apple is a lot better than eating a Yodel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's just not as good as it used to be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To YOUR Health,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Steve Wagner&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-2014597105381486877?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/2014597105381486877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=2014597105381486877' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2014597105381486877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2014597105381486877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-good-is-good-food-really.html' title='How Good Is Good Food Really?'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-373635146357411256</id><published>2007-05-18T11:44:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-18T11:44:28.338-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sugar suppliment'/><title type='text'>Sugar - Aspartame - Splenda - Stevia - Molasses:  Choosing a Sweetener That's Right for You</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just a few years ago, there were very few choices to sweeten your food and beverages.  Now, our supermarket aisles are literally filled with tons of natural and artificial sweeteners.  All these choices make it harder to decide what's right for you and your family.  Here is an overview of some of the top sweeteners on the market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sugar&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Sugar is, by far, the most popular sweetener worldwide.  It has been used for many years to make foods more appetizing.  However, processed sugars are being used more and more, and are causing adverse health problems.  Excessive consumption of sugar is linked to obesity and tooth decay.  Eating sugar also triggers your body's insulin response and can leave you feeling tired, sluggish, and craving more sugar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Aspartame is probably the most common artificial sweetener.  It is the key ingredient in NutraSweet and Equal.  It is also used to sweeten many diet products like cookies and colas.  While the FDA and many medical associations claim aspartame is entirely safe, others have suggested it may cause or increase health problems ranging from headaches, dizziness, and blurred vision to more serious problems such as severe depression, brain tumors, and multiple sclerosis.  Both sides cite extensive scientific research to back their claims.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sucralose (Splenda)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A newer sweetener called sucralose or Splenda has recently been working its way into restaurants and homes.  Splenda is being advertised as being made from sugar, giving the impression it's as safe as sugar.  While there isn't extensive research to prove Splenda is unsafe, there really hasn't been any extensive research done on this product.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While sugar is used in the production of Splenda, the conversion process is quite extensive.  Sucralose is no more natural than aspartame.  Preliminary research done on sucralose has shown that it causes a shrunken thymus gland, enlarged liver and kidneys, diarrhea, pregnancy complications, and other problems in rodents.  The product is considered safe because these problems only occurred with large doses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stevia&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Nothing is sweeter than sugar, right?  Actually, a natural sweetener called stevia is.  It comes from the stevia plant and is about 300 times sweeter than sugar.  This means, you can use a lot less to get the same sweetening power.  Plus, stevia contains no calories.  It can be used for the same purposes as sugar, including sweetening beverages and baking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While stevia is only approved as an herbal remedy in the U.S., countries like Japan have been using it for years with no adverse side effects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Molasses&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; While some of the sweeteners I've already mentioned may or may not be bad for you, molasses is actually good for you.  Blackstrap molasses is a natural byproduct that comes from refining sugar.  Unlike sugar, which is basically empty calories, molasses contains iron, copper, manganese, potassium, and magnesium.  While molasses doesn't have the same taste as other sweeteners, it provides you with fuel to help you look and feel better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While there is disagreement on the safety of artificial sweeteners, why bother taking the chance when there are safe, natural alternatives?  While sweeteners like stevia may be more expensive, the health of your family is worth the extra cost.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-373635146357411256?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/373635146357411256/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=373635146357411256' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/373635146357411256'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/373635146357411256'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/sugar-aspartame-splenda-stevia-molasses.html' title='Sugar - Aspartame - Splenda - Stevia - Molasses:  Choosing a Sweetener That&amp;#39;s Right for You'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-549513908477704534</id><published>2007-05-17T11:09:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-17T11:09:39.709-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='supplement'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nutrition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='whey protein isolate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='powder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drink'/><title type='text'>Whey Protein</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is a well known fact that protein is one of the most important components that makes up our body's cells and is needed to build our complete body – muscles, nails, hair, tissues, etc. The lack of sufficient protein in the body can make us energy-less and adversely affect our bones, blood, muscles, skin, &amp;amp; cartilage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is Whey Protein?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whey Protein is an important variety of protein, rich in essential nutrients and amino acids that are required by and beneficial for people of all ages. The term whey protein is used to refer to those globular proteins that are derived from cow's milk and are also the most natural &amp;amp; pure forms of protein there is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the years, whey protein has gained tremendous popularity, especially in the arena of sports nutrition and body building largely due to its ability to repair tissues. Since whey protein is a rich source of amino acids, it provides these essential amino acids to the body, thus helping in the building of muscles without increasing cholesterol or fat. Research has shown that Whey protein is beneficial for any weight loss program and is often used as a meal replacement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Moreover, Whey Protein has the highest Biological Value (BV), is lactose-free and easily digestible.

Most of the calories that are cut come from the foods that many of us find delicious such as chips, sweets and fast food. Its a bad idea to eat these on a daily basis even if you're not on a diet. Another bad idea is to never eat the foods you love again for the sake of your health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While diet and nutrition have a huge impact on your overall health, eating foods you enjoy can have as big of an impact on your psychological health. Eating foods that you enjoy can bring you happiness. Food is a part of everyone's culture and should be enjoyed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Healthy diets are about moderation. Have a piece of cake but don't eat the whole thing and don't have it everyday. Diets were never about completely cutting out parts of your life that you enjoy. Cheat days can help you get through the hard times of a diet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you have a stable diet that you are used to, a good idea is to institute a cheat day about once a week. This day isn't about reversing the progress you've made by eating everything you see. Its about relaxing and not worrying about the amount calories to consume or foods that are off limits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On your cheat day you can forget about counting calories. You can use this day to go to your favorite restaurant and eat your favorite dessert. Keep in mind that even though you've worked hard the rest of the week, it doesn't take much to derail your weight loss efforts. Enjoy yourself but don't go overboard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't start your cheat day until you're sure that your diet is on solid ground. Its pretty easy to enjoy yourself a bit too much and have another cheat day and another. Don't have them back to back and remember that once tomorrow comes the rules of your diet are back in effect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Advanced Guide to Dieting&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-3400046279003670732?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/3400046279003670732/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=3400046279003670732' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3400046279003670732'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/3400046279003670732'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/cheat-days.html' title='Cheat Days'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-2873499444963019175</id><published>2007-05-15T08:41:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-15T08:41:47.468-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nutritional supplements'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bodybuilding supplements'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fat burners'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vitamin supplements'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NO Xplode'/><title type='text'>Do Not Take Supplements Without Diet</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you think that just buying a shake or taking a few pills would all make a sudden difference in you, then you are mistaken.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No supplement would help you if in case there is not proper training and dieting. If you are taking sports nutrition supplements then all the aspect of your program should be in order to get the maximum benefits out of it. Normally supplements improve your program by:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Adding a factor of ease: Using nutrition supplements like Meal Replacement Powders and whey protein assist you to remove the usual problem of 'not having enough time'. It provides you with a fast effective way to get your required nutrients on daily basis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Increasing strength and reduce recovery time: Using vitamin and amino acid supplements assist you to minimize the side effects, which are negative and speed your recovery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mass diet need very high protein intake on an every day basis – Over 300g per day. The following examples would help you understand what 300g of protein is equal to:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tuna – The 50 oz of canned tuna (the average can is 6-8oz) that is 1,750 calories and 25g of fat.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Chicken – The 38 oz of chx breast (equals about seven 6oz breasts) that is 1,313 calories and 38g of saturated fat.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Beef -- The 43 oz of lean ground beef (about 2.7 pounds of meat) that is 3,214 calories and 215g of saturated fat.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Eggs -- The 50 large whole eggs equal 3,750 calories and have 250g of saturated fat.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Egg whites -- The 100 egg whites, equals 1,600 calories and nearly no fat&lt;br /&gt; Pure whey protein -- The 15 scoops of EAS Precision Protein, equals 1,500 calories 7.5g of soaked fat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is quite possible to get this value from eating whole foods only – But it would take work. Also, as you could see from the above numbers, getting all of your protein from usual food would also bring a lot of needless elements like extra saturated fat. Yes, our aim to gain mass is to eat a lot of calories (as well as fat), but your main fat intake must consist of unsaturated fats, which are liquid at room temperature like olive oil, flaxseed oil, sunflower oil and as well safflower oil. Whey protein supplements would help to give you the extra protein without the fat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-2873499444963019175?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/2873499444963019175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=2873499444963019175' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2873499444963019175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/2873499444963019175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/do-not-take-supplements-without-diet.html' title='Do Not Take Supplements Without Diet'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-1192373051366254676</id><published>2007-05-14T09:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-14T09:40:03.971-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='whole wheat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='grains'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nutrition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wheat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><title type='text'>History Of Whole Wheat</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Long before refrigeration, microwaveable foods, and artificial chemicals, people traveled from place to place to find food. They would pick and eat whatever grew wild and whatever they could find. However, when the population began to grow and more and more food got harder to find, the travelers had to settle and figure out how to grow food themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wheat could have possibly been one of the first plants to be cultivated, due to how well it adapts to harsh environments this seems likely. After it was discovered you could grow wheat, big changes started taking place. People realized they could grow their own food, so they no longer needed to wander in search of it. The stable food supply caused people to settle permanently.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The travelers became farmers, and as the growing of wheat progressed, so did the farmer's knowledge. They began to make the wheat easier to grow and eat. Gradually they started choosing kernels from their best wheat plants for the next years' planting. Which eventually ended up producing better crops and better quality of wheat that was passed down from one generation to the next. Very quickly wheat became one of the world's most important crops and to this day is grown on more land area worldwide than any other crop!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has been said that the first evidence of wheat was discovered in the Middle East. When farmers began producing enough crops to feed people from other lands, trading between the various lands and cultures began. Eventually wheat made it's way from the Middle East to England and other countries, then into the United States with Columbus back in the late 1400s and early 1500s. Over time, the growing of wheat spread to many continents and countries and is still one of the highest producing crops in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All of the wheat grains were consumed or milled whole with the bran, germ, and endosperm part of the wheat still intact. However, a new way of milling and mass refining took hold in the wheat business when the industrialization wave hit America in the later 1800s. These manufacturers began removing the bran and germ from the wheat, because it meant that the wheat products could sit longer on grocery store shelves without spoiling. However, during this process almost all the essential vitamins and minerals (not to mention the dietary fiber from the bran) are removed. Since this time there have been increasing health problems throughout America and other countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, whole wheat has been taking the notice of nutrition experts to contain healthy phytochemicals and nutrients that are essential for good health. So let's get back to eating whole wheat, people used to eat it whole long before we started eating it without the bran and germ, and in most cases they even lived longer back then!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36171755-1192373051366254676?l=tkocomix.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/feeds/1192373051366254676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36171755&amp;postID=1192373051366254676' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/1192373051366254676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36171755/posts/default/1192373051366254676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tkocomix.blogspot.com/2007/05/history-of-whole-wheat.html' title='History Of Whole Wheat'/><author><name>Ortiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18332759896687476434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36171755.post-5570375729674759421</id><published>2007-05-12T18:10:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-12T18:10:06.103-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='independence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='disabled'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='buy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='car'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shopping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recovery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='internet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shop'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='back pain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='home'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='groceries'/><title type='text'>It's Amazing How Easy it is to Get Shopping Done Without Needing to Go to the Store</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;When either your car or health breaks down and nobody is there to help, getting to the store becomes hard for anyone who lives alone.
