Eat Often, Just Smaller

February 25th, 2011

You would think that drastically cutting back on your daily calorie intake would be the secret to melting away pounds. After all, the less you ingest the fewer calories your body has to burn, right? But, it doesn’t work that way. Scaling down your caloric count too severely tricks your system into thingking that food is scarce, prompting your metabolism to freeze…and your body to hang on to its fat preserves. On the other hand, if you eat more often rather than less, your metabolism gets fired up and stays elevated all day long, burning calories.

“The very act of eating gets your metabolism going because your body has to break down the food during digestion, and that requires energy. By consuming five or so smaller, 300 to 500 calorie healthy meals about every four hours, your metabolism will chug along strong all day long without stalling.

THE PRICE OF THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY

February 24th, 2011

Back in the good old days, illnesses were not that complicated.  People who get sick can either have the same treated at home or just take a pill or two, and he is fine the next morning.  Unfortunately, owing to the worsening pollution, coupled with the substances mixed in processed foods, the sicknesses we had before had evolved into more complicated and serious one.  The simple cold is not that simple anymore.  Fevers now have to be monitored because it will lead to several complications if it persists for at least three days.  If natural remedies were 100% effective before, the same is not true in the present case because doctors and medicines are needed to treat any illness, with natural remedies supplementing it.  So with the progress of technology and while we may enjoying its fruits also goes with the risks of incurring serious health problems which have become increasingly difficult to deal with.

My Sweet Tooth!! – How do I overcome it?

February 7th, 2011

Everybody at some point of time has cravings for sweet foods. These sugar cravings happen because of the low functioning adrenal glands which are above the kidneys. One of the fundamental reason for the cravings is stress. When you are under tremendous stress adrenaline is secreted, thus causing the craving for sugar. Excessive adrenaline can reduce the body’s energy reserves.

During such times, doctors could prescribe a dosage of adrenal supplements. This will help the patients to regain their energies and thus will be in better control to take control of their diet in order to control the sugar intake.

Need for water i.e. thirstiness can sometimes be interpreted with need for sugar. Thus identifying such situations and taking sufficient water at these times helps to replenish the body. Also increasing the intake of protein rich food can lead to reduction in the craving. Food items that contain beans can help.

Now you can loose weight by eating!

February 3rd, 2011

I am sure you are amazed. But this line is actually true. I am not saying that you eat anything and you will loose weight. Obviously my point is towards right and healthy things. Here are some tips that you should follow and I am sure that in just two weeks you will start seeing positive results. Just have a look:

  • Do not ever wake up with tea or coffee. Your first thing of the day should be filled with good things not caffeine type things. Take fruits, or any fibrous thing as this gives a good boost to your metabolic rate.
  • Eat small portions of meal and divide your overall food intake in six parts. Do not ever ever ever overeat as the extra you eat is directly stored as fats.
  • Eat your main meal three hours before sleeping.
  • Exercise at least 3 hours a week

Brain Food: Combating Alzheimer’s Disease

April 14th, 2010

brain foodA new study has revealed a connection between diet and the risk of Alzheimer’s DiseaseWebMD reports.

The data tracked more than 2,000 respondents over four years, and people who regularly ate butter, red meat, organic meat, and fatty diary products were less likely to develop the disease. Specific foods that these people consumed include:

  • Salad dressing
  • Poultry
  • Fish
  • Fruit
  • Tomatoes
  • Nuts
  • Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, etc.)
  • Dark/green vegetables

Researchers are interested in studying this diet pattern further, as it is unclear whether the nutrients involved work individually or collectively to help prevent Alzheimer’s.

Exploring the French Paradox

April 8th, 2010

french paradoxPerhaps you’ve heard of something called the French Paradox — a term describing the apparent disparity between French and American diets. Basically, the French consume greater amounts of cream, cheese, and butter than Americans, but we’re the ones more likely to die of heart disease. What gives?

Some researchers contend that the secret lies in red wine — particularly in resveratrol, an ingredient that is vaguely associated with anti-aging and such… in mice. When such news first hit the States in 1991, the demand for red wine sky-rocked.

Alternatively, other experts argue that the French lifestyle more than compensates for said high fat content. Relevant factors include: more walking, less snacking, and a tendency to savor meals (as opposed to munching mindlessly).
