6 Negative Effects Of Eating Fast Food

,
Paleo Dessert Recipes :

1. Fast food has a very high energy density. About 65 percent higher than a typical diet and twice as high as recommended healthy diets which makes us eat more than we otherwise would. Energy density refers to the amount of calories an item of food contains in relation to its weight. Foods with a high energy density confuse the brain's control systems for appetite, which are based solely on portion size.

6 Negative Effects Of Eating Fast Food

2. British researchers from the Medical Research Council Human Nutrition Center and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine have determined that repeated eating at McDonald's or KFC or Burger King, people are more likely to gain weight and become obese. This is because fast food not only contains many more calories than traditional food, but also is more likely to undermine normal appetite control systems.

3. By eating a Big Mac and fries, the body consumes almost twice as many calories as you would if you ate the same weight of pasta and salad. Fast Food restaurants feed the obesity epidemic by getting people to eat many more calories than they need through persistent advertising.

4. McDonald's, KFC, and Burger King menu items using nutritional data from the fast food restaurants' Web sites, found that when we eat high energy density foods, we don't reduce the portion size so we get a lot more calories than we need. Our current society possesses a weak innate ability to recognize foods with a high energy density. Food intake is assessed by the size of the portion, yet a fast food meal contains many more calories than a similar sized portion of a healthy meal. The conclusion is we are all being fooled into eating too much food.

5. People get fat eating regular portion sizes, but since the food has a high energy density, people gain weight. In evolutionary terms, the human appetite was designed for low energy density foods. In other parts of the world where these foods are still the dietary staples, obesity is virtually non existent. Our bodies were never designed to cope with the high energy dense foods consumed in the West. That is a major reason why fast food in contributing to the major rise in obesity.

6. Another fact is that fast food may speed up people's risk of clogged arteries that can lead to heart attacks. Researchers at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in San Francisco have demonstrated that a certain type of fat, called oxidized fat, can accelerate the buildup of plaque in arteries. And many types of fast food such as hamburgers, pizza and French fries are loaded with oxidized fat. The conclusion is fast food meals are high in saturated fat and low quality carbohydrates, white bread and lots of soda. Our bodies require fiber and more healthful types of fats. Fast food represents a dietary pattern that is the opposite of what is recommended for a healthy body.

Juicing For Health - Fifty Fascinating Facts

,
Paleo Dessert Recipes :

1. If you are juicing for health, it is useful to remember that fresh juice starts to lose nutrients as soon as it is made. If you want to retain the full benefit of your effort, drink the juice immediately or as soon as possible.

Juicing For Health - Fifty Fascinating Facts

2. Some juice extractors, such as the centrifugal-ejection type, generate enough heat during operation to do some damage to the delicate structure of the juice. The resultant oxidation destroys nutrients.

3. Masticating juicers use a more gentle process, preserving more of the valuable nutrients. This also enables you to store the juice for a longer period.

4. If you have to store the juice for a while, make sure that the container is airtight, add a few drops of lemon juice, and keep it refrigerated.

5. When juicing for health, a clever gadget named PumpNseal can be used to vacuum seal juice in any jar. Removing the air enables you to store the juice for longer periods without nutrient loss.

6. In general, masticating juicers offer extra features, such as accessories you can use to mill, grind, puree, to make pasta, and to come up with the most delectable frozen desserts. When juicing for health, these extras will give you a fairly varied repertoire in the kitchen. A raw food diet will become more feasible in the process.

7. If you are concerned about a high noise level, rather choose one of the masticating models.

8. Remember to remove hard pits from fruit such as peaches. You won't eat these and neither will your juicer! Don't ruin the blades! Apple seeds contain small amounts of cyanide. Be sure to remove these before juicing.

9. Most body-building, leafy greens have strong flavors. Cucumber is a terrific disguise for this, and has the added advantage of containing important nutrients. Maximise the benefit by using one that doesn't need peeling.

10. If you are juicing for health, use organic produce as far as possible. Otherwise wash everything thoroughly.

11. Often the greatest concentration of nutrients lie just beneath the rind or skin.

12. Don't peel carrots, but do remove their greens. Rhubarb greens also need to be removed. There may be a problem with toxicity if you juice these.

13. Do peel citrus, mango and papaya. These peels are not usable and may even be harmful to you. The skins of oranges and grapefruits contain toxic substances. However, the white, pithy part just below the skin, contains valuable bioflavonoids. Aim to retain as much of this as possible.

14. Soft fruits such as peaches, melons and strawberries will produce a much thicker juice than harder textured fruit such as apples. Combine the two to improve the results.

15. Rather blend banana and papaya. They don't juice well. If you have one of the masticating juicers with added features, you can try these as a frozen dessert. Juicing for health isn't suppose to be a punishment, after all! Enjoy something sweet regularly.

16. Follow soft fruits with harder textured produce, to facilitate clearing the pulp.

17. Juicing leafy greens becomes much easier if you roll the leaves into a little ball, before feeding it into the machine.

18. Wheat-grass is exceptionally nutrient-rich, and has a taste strong enough to equal its value! If your juicer can manage it, start with tiny amounts and increase the quantity slowly.

19. It is claimed that the benefits of drinking wheat grass juice includes cleansing the lymph system, building the red blood cells, removing toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys, and restoring vitality.

20. Wheat-grass needs to be consumed in juice form, as the body cannot process the plant fibres.

21. Wheat-grass is gluten-free, in spite of its name. Gluten is found only in the seed kernel, and not in the stem and grass leaves of the young plant. It should therefore be safe for individuals with a gluten intolerance.

22. Drink freshly made juice daily and concentrate on using as wide a variety of produce as possible, to ensure that your body receives a bit of all the most beneficial micronutrients.

23. Your need for expensive supplements in the form of vitamin and mineral tablets, will diminish significantly, if you are juicing for health on a daily basis.

24. Many ailments will improve if juice forms a regular part of your diet. For example, cabbage juice is one of the most healing juices in case of ulcers. In this case, use under medical supervision.

25. If you experience water retention, juices such as celery, cucumber, cranberry, and watermelon are extremely helpful.

26. A general rule is that a pound of produce will give you about a cup of juice.

27. One cup of carrot juice is equal to about four cups diced, raw carrots. Carrots are much easier to consume in liquid form. Your body is also able to assimilate them better.

28. Vegetable juice is a low-calorie snack and contains no fat. Use it as part of a sensible eating plan, and experience the wonderful results.

29. Fresh juices act as a healthy, harmless appetite suppressant, and craving curber.

30. Vegetable juice can also help to stabilize blood sugar levels. It has much less sugar than fruit juices and about 50% less calories, yet it will satisfy that sweet tooth every time. Try carrot or a combination of carrot and parsley juice when a craving hits you, and the juice jolt will give it a knock-out before you know it!

31. A water fast may leave you feeling drained, while a vegetable juice fast will give you an energy surge. Fasting should always be done under supervision.

32. If you really don't like the taste of certain vegetables, try juicing these and adding them to some of your favorites. You probably won't even notice the difference in taste, but your body will certainly notice the difference in nutritional value!

33. Your skin may become slightly yellow if you consume large quantities of carrot juice. This effect is harmless and will disappear once you reduce your consumption.

34. Juicing for health is more beneficial if you consume juice that is at room temperature.

35. Ginger gives a bit of a bite to juice. Try it! It has anti-inflammatory properties. Stomach irritations, nausea and motion sickness can be relieved by taking ginger.

36. The nutrients in the juice you drink, is taken up immediately by all the cells in your body. Your juicer magically transfers the produce into pre-digested food. This means that your body is able to make maximum use of all the enzymes, vitamins and minerals.

37. Juices help you to maintain the proper PH in your body, which is important in preventing diseases like cancer.

38. The phytochemicals in the juice also helps to remove carcinogens from your body.

39. The properties in many vegetables, such as cucumber and carrots, will improve your skin, hair, and nails. If you up your intake of fresh juice, expensive beauty treatments may become a thing of the past.

40. Juicing for health is anti-ageing and puts the spring back in your step.

41. Children love the sweet taste of carrot juice. It is easy to add other, perhaps detested veggies to the juice, without them noticing it.

42. Remember that, it you have kids, they may be more willing to try the juice at first if you turn it into a smoothie. Try apple, carrot and grapes or strawberry. Put ice-cubes in a blender, and pour in your juice mixture. Add some frozen yoghurt or sherbert if you want, and blend to the desired thickness.

43. A good way to add extra flavor and sweetness to juice, is to use fresh or shredded coconut.

44. You can also add some cranberries if you like the taste. Cranberries have an extremely high antioxidant content. In addition, they may help you to avoid urinary tract infections.

45. Scientists recommend 8 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day. A substantial portion of the population don't even reach 20% of the ideal. Juicing for health is the easiest way to bring you closer to this goal.

46. Although juicing removes some of the fibre, the process allows you to ingest a much more concentrated, easily assimmilated form of enzymes, minerals and vitamins. Just be sure to boost your fibre intake, by eating fibre-rich foods such as cereals and whole grains.

47. It is believed that sugar cane juice has properties that help to prevent tooth decay. In contrast, eating sugar cane often, will result in frequent visits to the dentist.

48. There is also evidence that there may be some wound healing and immune strengthening properties in sugar cane. In addition, the juice has a soothing effect on the digestive system, especially when combined with fresh ginger.

49. Juicing for health isn't a cure-all! If your lifestyle is unhealthy in general, don't expect juicing to magically wipe out the negative effects of all the things you know you probably shouldn't do!

50. If you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, nursing or have any illness, you need to get medical advice before starting a juicing for health program. The same rule applies to small children. Some juices are quite potent and may do more than good under certain circumstances.

Immune Boosting Fruits and Vegetables

,
Paleo Dessert Recipes :

With cold and flu season right around the corner, many people are wondering how they can keep their body healthy, strong and free from illness this winter. Any nutritionist or doctor will tell you that the first place to start is to get enough rest, and to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Most adults do not eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables each day. Instead we eat fast food and guzzle caffeinated beverages like there is no tomorrow. In order to keep our immune system healthy and ready to fight off illnesses we need to make sure that we fuel our bodies with the proper minerals and nutrients.

Immune Boosting Fruits and Vegetables

So, we know that we are supposed to eat fruits and vegetables, but how do we do it? In our fast paced lives, it is not as easy as it sounds. None of us will ever have a perfect diet, but we can try to incorporate a few more fruits and vegetables in our diet each day and that will dramatically improve our immune system.

Which foods are high in immune boosting vitamins and minerals? The key is to eat a variety of fruits in vegetables in many colors. The darker the food the more anti-oxidants that it has in it. Some key foods to incorporate into your diet are: carrots, broccoli, kiwi, spinach and oranges. These foods all have one common ingredient which is potassium. Carrots contain vitamin A, which is good for the eyes and also a large amount of potassium that strengthens the immune system. Both broccoli and kiwi contain large amounts of vitamin C and immune boosting potassium as well. Spinach contains magnesium and has a large amount of anti-oxidants that are a key for a well and healthy immune system. Lastly, oranges also contain vitamin C and potassium. One orange contains 30% of the required vitamin C that adults need each day.

Some fruits and vegetables are favored over others. For instance, you will rarely find someone who admits to loving spinach! Even if you don't care to eat the food alone, you might try it in a casserole, quiche, or other recipe. You will barely notice it and you will be getting the vegetables and fruits that your body needs to maintain a healthy immune system. Do your body a favor and start eating more fruits and vegetables. Adding color to your plate can give you the boost that you have been looking for!

What is Nutrisystem's Price Per Month? I'll Tell You

,
Paleo Dessert Recipes :

I'm often asked for the total monthly cost of Nutrisystem.  People want to know what they will be spending right down to the penny, including the food, any shipping costs, and any membership or joining fees.   The answer to this is a lot simpler than you might think.  I'll outline this in the following article.

What is Nutrisystem's Price Per Month? I'll Tell You

What You Pay For A Month Of Nutrisystem Depends On What Plan You Chose:  For the most part, the basic plans are priced similarly.  For example, the women's basic, vegetarian, silver, and diabetic plans all cost approximately 9 per month. This is before shipping costs and any coupon discounts.  With the monthly plans, you are shipped enough food to last you for approximately twenty eight days.  During those 28 days, you will eat five times each day.  You are to eat a breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as a snack and dessert.  Now, to be fair, they also want for you to add in fresh and healthy choices at each of the main meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner.)  But, this really doesn't need to cost all that much in terms of groceries because all you really need to do is add a piece of fruit, a salad, or some yogurt or fat free pudding. (These are just examples.  You are given detailed instructions to help you chose your sides.)

Which Nutrisystem Monthly Plans Cost More Or Less Than The Regular Plans?: There are a few of these plans that cost a bit more.  The men's plan cost around 1. The deluxe program, called "Nutrisystem Select," has a price of about 0.  Yes, you are paying more for this plan, but I believe that for some people the cost of the select plan is worth it because the foods are extremely good in terms of taste.  Many more choices are offered and the meals are frozen and are restaurant quality.  If extra dollars has you sticking to the plan and enjoying the program more, then in my mind it's worth it.  And you are still paying less than per day (for five meals) and that's still before coupons.

The cheapest price for a month's worth of Nutrisystem is going to be the "flex plan."  The reason that it costs less is because you are ordering less food.  This plan is sort of a part time plan where you can take any two days of your choosing off each week.  This part time plan only costs about 0 which makes it the cheapest by far. However, if you are figuring out the cost per meal, then you're actually paying a little more here but this can still be a great way to try out the foods for the least amount of money or commitment.

Nutrisystem Coupons, Shipping Costs, and Membership Fees:  I have to get this out of the way. There is no membership fee for this diet.  All of the resources and counseling come without any cost for you.  So, you truly are only paying for your food which makes this plan a little unique.  And, if you sign up for auto ship (where they send you another shipment when the previous one runs out) you'll never be charged for shipping.  (If you want to go month by month, then shipping is generally averaging around .)  And, you should never place an order without using a coupon because if you do, you really are over paying.  The company rotates the coupons, but they are almost always substantial.  You can sometimes get as much as three weeks free or up to 0 off.

The 12 Day Grapefruit Diet-Meal Plan

,
Paleo Dessert Recipes :

The 12-day grapefruit diet gets its name from the number of days you stay on the diet and the grapefruit at every meal. The diet consists of a plan that allows a two-day break after twelve days of diet. Even though the Mayo clinic often gets credit for this diet, it is just another urban legend, or shall we say, "cyber legend' in this case. The diet has a rigorous menu to follow for the twelve days you're on it. These food mixtures are supposed to contain magical qualities that cause fat to drop off the body mud down the side of a mountain after a torrential rain.

The 12 Day Grapefruit Diet-Meal Plan

Let's examine the 12-day grapefruit diet plan.

*Breakfast:

  • 2 large eggs cooked any style
  • 1/2 large grapefruit, preferably ruby red or 4 ounces of unsweetened grapefruit juice
  • 2 medium cooked slices of bacon

*Lunch:

  • Grapefruit or 4 ounces of grapefruit juice, unsweetened
  • A salad with any type of dressing
  • Meat, any amount and any type

*Dinner:

  • Grapefruit (surprise!) or 4 ounces of unsweetened grapefruit juice
  • Meat, any amount or type
  • Vegetable, a red or green vegetable cooked or in a salad with seasoning
  • Tea or coffee

There are also magical rules to follow on the 12-day grapefruit diet.

  1. Eat at least the foods on the list, add more of them if you want but eat the minimum. The problem with this rule is that there are no minimum amounts listed. The diet just says meat and you fill in the blank for the amount.
  2. Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day. This is self-explanatory and any one that tries knows it's difficult and filling.
  3. Fill up at each meal. Don't leave the table hungry. With the diet allowing as much meat as you can eat, this makes me wonder.
  4. Make sure you don't adjust the menu and eat every item. It's supposed to burn fat faster with the combinations of food. Here is one area I doubt. The combinations have no scientific reason for weight loss or a pill made from them would be on the market.
  5. Reduce caffeine. Good advice. Caffeine spikes the blood sugar level and creates food cravings later.
  6. Don't eat between meals. This is more good advice for the snacker.
  7. Fry food in butter and use butter generously. The only reason this might be good is feeling of fullness that fat gives you after a meal. Otherwise, if this were a Mayo clinic diet I'd say they were drumming up business for their heart unit.
  8. Don't eat desserts, bread or white vegetables and sweet potatoes. This part of the 12-day grapefruit diet makes some sense.
  9. Eat until you're stuffed. The more you eat the more you lose. Wrong! Again, we go back to the magical mixture idea. This trains the body to consume a lot of food and is horrendous for long term planning.

Jenny Craig Or Nutrisystem - Which is Better?

,
Paleo Dessert Recipes :

It's very easy to get these two meal replacement plans confused. Both are extremely convenient plans which require no point tallying or calorie counting and provide the food for you. Both are endorsed by celebrities. (Queen Latifah and Valerie Bertinelli for Jenny Craig. Marie Osmond and Jillian Barberie for Nutrisystem.) In this article I will explain what I believe are the key differences between the two plans. Hopefully, this information will help you decide which would be best for you.

Jenny Craig Or Nutrisystem - Which is Better?

The Similarities: Both Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig rely on a wide variety of prepackaged meals. You choose your preferences for meals and snacks and you then order them from the company. The foods are low in calories and carbs and high in protein. Both companies encourage you to supplement the meals with your own healthy options like fruits and vegetables. Both have lots of variety and allow comfort foods like pizza, macaroni and cheese, desserts, and snacks. I find the taste of the foods to be similar and pretty decent.

The Major Differences: The major difference between the two plans is the level of one on one support you receive and where you receive it. By and large, Jenny Craig encourages you to visit the clinics and work there with your assigned counselor. You can also sign up with Jenny online, and with that option, you will communicate with your counselor via telephone. The company wants you to check in at least once per week. Although there is no specific cost for the counseling, Jenny does have membership fees in addition to the cost for food to cover this.

Nutrisystem provides counseling and support as well, but it is by and large online. This support and weight loss counseling is free. You only pay for your food. The counselors are available to conference via telephone if you prefer, but I find it's really quick, easy, and immediate to chat in real time online. This counseling is not mandatory though. There is no one to require you to check in once per week or at all if you're doing fine on your own. This is a personal preference. Some people want all the support they can get, while others prefer to seek support from close friends or family.

Costs Of Both Plans: Both plans require that you pay for your foods. This cost is pretty similar, averaging about per day, but there are usually coupons and specials running. However, Jenny Craig does charge additional membership fees in addition to the food. This is to cover the one on one counseling. A current example is " for six weeks plus the cost of food." Since Nutrisystem only charges for food, it is a bit cheaper, usually running about 0 per month less.

Which Is For You?: Which of these plans is best for you depends a lot on your preferences. If you feel you really need intensive face to face counseling and don't mind paying a bit more for it, then Jenny Craig may be a better fit. But, if you're fine getting support online or on the phone and only want to pay for your food, you may prefer Nutrisystem.

Fatty Liver Diet Do's And Don'ts

,
Paleo Dessert Recipes :

In her book, "Fatty Liver Diet Guide", veteran liver nurse, Dorothy Spencer, states, "There is in fact little difference between the regular diet between healthy people and fatty liver patients. The main point is to reduce the fat content and encourage the body to fully utilize the calories for energy so that there will be no excess storage of fat and carbohydrates." She goes on to stress the importance of regulation, balance, and incorporating all food groups through a highly nutritional diet.

Fatty Liver Diet Do's And Don'ts

The best diet plan for reducing a fatty liver will vary from patient to patient. When it comes to fatty liver disease (FLD), there are many factors at play, and the underlying causes of the problem must be identified before proper nutritional advice can be given.

FLD is generally broken down into two types: alcoholic (AFL) and non-alcoholic (NAFLD). Alcoholic fatty liver disease has one primary cause: the excessive consumption of alcohol.

The ethanol found in alcoholic beverages contributes to excessive fat accumulation in the liver because it blocks the oxidation of fatty acids in the liver, and it inhibits the release of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in the bloodstream which are responsible for moving fatty acids out of the liver. When more fat moves into the liver than out of it, fat accumulation and storage occurs. AFL can generally be reversed by removing alcohol from the diet.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a more complex condition. NAFLD can be caused by a wide variety of things which include, but are not limited to, a high-fat diet, obesity, type 2 diabetes (diabetes milletus), hyperinsulinemia, and metabolic disorders. Dietary changes and weight loss are the best ways to combat and reverse NAFLD.

Here are some of the do's and don'ts when making changes that incorporate a fatty liver diet plan aimed at reducing excess fat in the liver into your lifestyle.

  • Do eat vitamin and mineral rich foods, particularly those high in B-complex vitamins, folate (folic acid), manganese, selenium, and sulfur
  • Do follow a balanced diet and avoid excessive eating
  • Don't eat high-fat foods, particularly those high in saturated fats
  • Don't consume alcohol and/or high sugar drinks like energy drinks and soda
  • Do exercise regularly to lose weight gradually rather than trying for a "lose it all at once" solution
  • Don't eat large amounts of dark meats or fried foods
  • Do eat lean white meats such as chicken or turkey
  • Do eat vegetables daily, particularly greens and leaves
  • Do eat fruits daily, particular citrus fruits high in vitamin C
  • Do eat complex carbohydrates such as those found in brown rice and whole grains
  • Don't eat simple carbohydrates such as those found in candy and desserts
  • Do eat foods high in fiber

5 Simple & Delicious Alkaline Recipes

,
Paleo Dessert Recipes :

It is essential for us to consume large amounts of alkalizing foods. These foods help keep the ph level of the body balanced and so the body stays disease free. The general idea is to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables as opposed to meats and oils. Here are 5 simple alkaline recipes to take note of. They are simple and nutritious.

5 Simple & Delicious Alkaline Recipes

The first of the various alkaline and beneficial recipes that we shall discuss is gluten free pumpkin bread. Take a small pumpkin and bake it whole in the oven till it is completely soft. Cool, peel and mash the pumpkin and add it to 300 gm of gluten free flour, 2 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Knead adding a little water if necessary. Make small cakes and bake for half an hour. This recipe will do wonders for your health. Moreover it tastes good too.

The list of recipes that are alkaline continues and now we have a great one which doubles as a liver cleanser. Take two large grape fruits and 4 lemons. Squeeze their juice. Add water, some garlic and ginger grated juice, two tablespoons of UDO's choice and one of acidophilus. Mix and have as a refreshing drink. This is one of the simplest of the alkaline recipes and is great to have after a good work out.

The list of alkaline recipes continues with a lovely alkaline vegetable broth. Take two carrots, two celery tops, two beetroots, two cups water, three cups celery stock, one zucchini and 2 cups of peeled red potatoes. Wash thoroughly and boil and then simmer for about half an hour. The best of these recipes is ready to consume right after straining it.

The miso soup is an ideal way to have miso, which is a highly alkalizing food. Alkaline recipes are all healthy and low of fat. So having them means you kill two birds with one stone. Not only does one shed those unwanted pounds but also gain good health. Take 2 tsp of Miso and add it to some water. Bring to a boil adding iodine sea salt to taste. This one of the alkaline recipes is ideal for a cold winter day.

Another great pick from the basket of alkaline recipes is the green salad. Take a few salad leaves, some chopped cabbage, a small chopped onion and a large tomatoes. Mix all the vegetables adding a bit of vinegar for taste and throwing in some oregano and some tofu or boiled chicken breast pieces. Of all the alkaline recipes this one is definitely my favorite. Not only is it a nice tasting filling meal but also keeps my energy level high though the day.
