2007-03-26 Finding the Right Diet

An exchange-type diet is a meal plan with a set number of servings from each of several food groups. Within each group, foods are about equal in calories and can be interchanged as you wish. For example, the "starch" category could include one slice of bread or 1/2 cup of oatmeal; each is about equal in nutritional value and calories. If your meal plan calls for two starch choices at breakfast, you could choose to eat two slices of bread, or one slice of bread and 1/2 cup of oatmeal. With the exchange-type diet plans, you have more day-to-day variety and you can easily follow the diet away from home. The most important advantage is that exchange-type diet plans teach the food selection skills you need to keep your weight off.

Even after successful surgery many people regain weight because it is not attacking the real issues of poor nutritional choices and food addiction. Until and unless individuals adopt healthy diet, eating behavior and attain stable emotional state, the weight gain will return. Some people develop other addictions like alcohol because people might switch into another addictive habit just to cope with the stoppage of addictive food habits. This is the reason my natural approach first deals with the consciousness deficiencies before even analyzing vitamin deficiencies to attack the root cause of the disease. The idea behind surgery is to restrict the amount of food intake and thereby limiting digestion and absorption, and all steps that may increase fat gain from diet.

But food security is a complex issue. A country or region is food secure when and ldquo;All people, at all times, have both physical and economic access to sufficient food to meet their dietary needs for a healthy and productive life. Food security depends principally on three variables: availability of food, access to food and a nutritious diet, and proper use of food to ensure maximal nutrition and hygiene. In turn, each of these variables is influenced by several factors, the most important of which is poverty; others include the national and international economic environment, population growth , infrastructure, the climate, the level of investment and donor commitment, access to appropriate training and job skills, asset base, conflict and access to pasture, and the quality of diet, health, and sanitation.

He also said I have prepared a Food Guide Pyramid to help people balance their diet. This guide depends on dividing food into five major groups. A preset portion from each group of foodstuff should be taken to ensure we get all important nutrients which are important for growth and prevention of illness, he added. According to Al-Mazidi the major groups of food products are cereals and bread, vegetables, fruits, milk and dairy products, meat, fish, legumes and nuts, fats, oils and sweets. Indicating each group provides important nutrients to the body, he said consumption of these food products in the proper proportion will balance our diet and help us prevent various illnesses including heart diseases, diabetes, obesity, blood pressure and some kinds of cancer.

2007-03-08 Food Suplements: What Are They Good For

There should be no need for people who are not suffering from some illness or chronic condition to be taking food supplements. But as our foods have become more and more refined and processed the parts that are of value to us in them have been eliminated. For the majority of us, supplements can be avoided through the simple expedient of eating a properly balanced diet of proteins, carbohydrates, grains, fruit, and vegetables.

Considering that it was the 1960s and 70s that saw a proliferation of frozen and processed foods I would say that the world was too busy being excited by progress to worry about any bill that might come due further on down the line. (You can apply that theory to probably most things, not just diet. It really wasnt until the late 80s that some people became aware of the costs involved from the post World War II industrial boom. )

2007-03-31 Two Cents : Are you rethinking your pets diet

No more than I am thinking of never eating spinach again because of that scare. There are risks with virtually every processed food. What worries me more are people who switch to something like a vegan diet for a cat, thinking that is more safe, which in turn creates a whole new set of health problems -- even death. As usual, the backlash could be worse than the original problem. I would check with my veterinarian and use common sense.

2007-03-06 Middle east news information::GSK reveals that Modern Lifestyle attacks teeth

Today there is generally a greater understanding about lifestyle, health and nutrition. The modern diet is considered healthier than in the past with more low sugar and low fat options, but GSK warns that the food and drink consumed as part of the modern diet is often highly acidic and can irreversibly damage teeth. There is a trend to drink fruit juice, which is seen as more healthy and nutritious, and to choose low calorie drinks and low fat food options. But acid found in many fruits, fruit juices, teas, vinegar and certain diet or non-diet soft drinks such as fizzy colas, can cause the softening of the teeths enamel surface making the enamel prone to wear.
