2008-07-30 The Danger of Meat-Heavy Diets Health and Wellness AlterNet

You may have seen recent news articles claiming that a study out of Israel found that the Atkins diet is more effective for losing weight and improving cholesterol levels than a low-fat diet. Unfortunately, the headlines completely misrepresented the study. First, the "low-fat" diet that was compared to the high-protein one in this study was a full 30 percent fat, which is not low-fat as the phrase is used by any of the top nutritionists and scientists who are effectively using low-fat diets to help people lose weight, keep it off and improve their health. Second, the study organizers encourage people to eat vegetarian protein sources, not the animal products encouraged by Atkins and South Beach. I dont know about you, but it seems amiss to me for the media to portray this as a pro-Atkins study, since most of us consider Atkins to

2008-07-17 Nut products and asthma

In the children, the prevalence of any asthma symptoms over the past 12 months declined over the eight years from 23 pct. at three years to 13 pct. at eight years. In children with complete data, 61. 3 pct. had never wheezed, 24. 0 pct. were early transient wheezers, 4. 3 pct. were late onset wheezers, and 10. 3 pct. had persistent wheezing. When they looked at relationships between asthma and maternal diet, they found no associations between maternal consumption of vegetables, fruit, fish, eggs, dairy or nuts (or nut products) and childhood wheeze or other symptoms of asthma. However, researchers split the data when analysing nut products. They found no links between nut product consumption and asthma when they compared regular with rare maternal consumption. But they found significantly increased risk of wheezing (by 42 pct. ), shortness of breath (by 58 pct. ),

A: The first rule in selecting natural skin products is to avoid substances to which you know you are sensitive-take cues from any food and/or environmental sensitivities you may have. Avoid complex formulations and high concentrations of essential oils. Instead, stick to products with only a few ingredients and consider doing an "elimination diet" for your skin to rule out problem ingredients. For example, if you are sensitive to nuts, iodine, or soy, avoid products with those ingredients. If youre allergic to plant families, such as ragweed, avoid chamomile (which is anti- inflammatory for most people). Specifie essential oils, which are therapeutic and smell wonderful to most, can be highly irritating to a few. Try a patch test near the inside of your elbow before slathering on these products. You mention sensitivity to aloe. Be

2008-07-19 ABC News: YOU ASKED, WE ANSWERED: Low-Carb Diet Questions

My one concern is the lack of information on how a low carb diet can impact someone with depression. Why is that Research shows that the amino acid typtophan, which is the precursor of 5htp which affects serotin levels, needs carbs to get across the blood-brain barrier. I lost 70 pound on a low carb diet but fell into the deepest depression I had experienced in my 45 years. I ended up taking 300 mg of Effexor a day to counter the depression. I went off the low-carb diet and unfortunately gained all my weight and more back. But I was able to drop down to only 75 mg of Effexor a day. Prior to going on the diet I had not been on medication for depression for 8 years. Without having to take high dosages of anti-depression meds how can I stay on a low-carb diet It was the most effective diet for me.

2008-07-23 Staying fit on a vegetarian diet Southwest Floridas Information Leader

I dont understand why anyone is a vegetarian. Can someone help me to understand why it is so important to be a vegetarian. I eat a lot of meat. I understand that it is important to protect the animals but I think by treating the animals with respect and not just throwing them all in a gas chamber is the right thing to do. I went on a vegetarian diet and I never felt worse in my whole life. I like fruits and vegetables but I like my meat too. As long as I know that the meat that I am eating mas made with proper standards in regards to how the animal was killed. If anyone needs more information on that subject, Im sure someone at Whole Foods Market can help you with it. I like to eat meat but I also use a product called Berry Green made by New Chapter. New Chapter has all sorts of great products accept protein. Im going

Researchers found that diet high in fiber (wheat, bran, grains, oatmeal, fruits and vegetables) is good for our body in more ways than one. It reduces our risk for heart attack and stroke, and also the risk of colorectal cancer. High saturated fat diet (red meat, eggs, dairy products, etc), on the other hand, increases our risk for those ailments above, including cancer of the colon and rectum. The suggested daily requirement of fiber is 20 to 35 grams. High fiber breakfast cereals (wheat, oat meal, bran) provide about 35 to 46 grams per 3 ounces. All the flakes (cornflakes, rice flakes, etc) and other sweet carbo-rich cereals are not high fiber, and therefore, not recommended for us or our youngsters.

2008-07-26 CrossFit Project Assessment Part II: The Diet

I wrote launching this series. But, in general, the Zone Diet calls for carefully measuring foods to get a balance of calories from each meal from carbs, proteins and fats. The paleo diet is predicated on the theory that, while we may be far removed technologically from our caveman ancestors, we share the same bodies. Weve developed tools and methods that allow us to eat things that likely werent staples of hunter-gatherer diets, things like grains and dairy products. So, goes the paleo thinking, we should avoid those. Essentially, it means eating unprocessed meat and lots of veggies and fruits. No dairy, grains, legumes or sugar.

Once they go on this diet, you usually see a great calming, said Dr. Kendal Stewart, a neuro-otologist, board certified in ear, nose and throat disorders with training in neurology and neurosurgery. 8 He says autistic children all have troubled immune systems. 1 These kids do have a higher rate of having sensitivities to wheat and casein, said Dr. Stewart. 8 They cant break those products down as well, so it puts them at a very high risk and actually contributes to a worsening of their social and behavioral status.
