Revealed Acai Berry Health Secrets

By Carter Sinclair

More many years Amazonian locals have been using Acai for great health benefits. Many of their diets consist of up to fifty percent acai fruit, and it shows how great the fruit is because of their health. These Amazonians often live longer and healthier lives than we do without our current advances in medical care.

Brazilian surfers often dominate competitions, and one of their secret weapons is Acai. Acai fruit juice can give you a boost of energy that is as strong as, and longer lasting than coffee. Many athletes find that is a great way to increase performance long term, without the negative side effects of other methods.

Acai can also help improve your eyesight. It contains anthocyanins, which is an antioxidant that has been known to help improve vision. It is especially helpful in strengthening your night vision.

In the war against cancer a very exciting breakthrough has happened. Researchers at the University of Florida discovered that Acai berry causes leukemia cells to self destruct. The research is very new but has a very promising future.

Acai has one of the highest values on the ORAC chart. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity which is a measure of foods antioxidant content. Antioxidants right the damage to cells caused by free radicals. This slows down the signs of aging and gives a big boost to the immune system. They also improves the appearance of your hair and skin.

The Acai fruit also contains high levels of Omega fatty acids and other benefits. Omega fatty acids help to improve your mood, reduce cholesterol, and can improve brain functioning. People who do not enjoy eating fish will benefit from Acai because it contains all the essential fatty acids that fish contains.

Acai is a great tasting fruit juice. It tastes like a snack rather than a health food, and can make an excellent post workout or morning smoothie. - 17268

Preventing the Occurrence of Hypertension

By Katie A Price

Hypertension is the increase in blood pressure beyond normal levels for a long period of time. Usually, people in middle to late adulthood are often diagnosed with hypertension. There are many causes of hypertension that can traced back to ones lifestyle. Upon the diagnosis of hypertension, you may be asking what things you can do in order to prevent yourself from having it. Before thinking about that, you first need to know that 120/80 is the normal reading for blood pressure. If you go beyond that reading, then you should start taking action now.

When reading blood pressure through a sphygmomanometer, you will record two numbers. The first number on the top is called the systole while the second is called the diastole. A blood pressure reading is said to be elevated if it reaches 140/100, or if 40 is added to your usual reading. There are many causes and risk factors for hypertension and all of which involve lifestyle.

Hypertension is said to be genetic in origin. A person who has a relative with hypertension will have greater chances of developing it too. When a disease is said to be genetic or hereditary, this means that it can not be easily avoided. A certain strand in their familys DNA is probably carrying that disease gene.

One risk factor for hypertension is a sedentary lifestyle. If you have less physical activities or if you are used to just watching television without doing other activities, then you are at great risk for developing hypertension. Make an early start by changing your lifestyle from sedentary to active. Instead of just watching television all day, try to start by doing simple household chores and gradually increase your physical activities.

If you are the type of person who is allergic to exercise, then you probably need to change that kind of attitude. Exercise is healthy and good for the body. During exercise, all of your body muscles are working. Exercise also promotes good circulation because the heart is pumping more blood. Excess fat is also burned during exercise. So, if you want to lose weight, be healthy, and avoid hypertension, consider doing some serious exercise and make it a habit.

Hypertensions greatest causative factor might be high cholesterol foods. If you are fond of eating foods rich in fat, then you should start lowering down your consumption to avoid developing high blood pressure. A high fat diet will build up fat within your arteries causing the pathway of your blood to be narrowed. Narrowed blood vessels will cause an increase in blood pressure.

You may have noticed that foods served in fast food restaurants are extra salty, especially French fries. This saltiness is caused by sodium. Foods that are preserved are also known to be sodium rich. Sodium rich foods cause hypertension because it brings excessive amounts of sodium in the bloodstream. With sodium, water is pushed out from the cells to the bloodstream causing pressure in the vessel walls.

For you to avoid developing hypertension, it is really necessary to make changes in your lifestyle. If you are used to doing it, a sudden lifestyle change is really difficult to achieve; however, all you need is motivation and determination to be healthy. The long term management for hypertension includes maintenance drugs which may be another cause of expenses for you. - 17268

Welcome To Cajun Country

By Dan Sewinski

Cooking in the heart of Cajun country is an art form. There really is very little science to this particular form of cooking that includes a lot more than mere lagniappe from the pantry or the spice cabinet.

Cajun cooking has been copied frequently all over the country and all over the world as well, but it is hardly ever copied with accuracy. One of the most intriguing aspects of Cajun cooking is that there are so few precise recipes associated with it.

Even more amazing is that from day to day one person can make the same dish over and over and it is quite likely to taste a little bit different each and every time it is made.Most, if not all authentic Cajun cooking is done to taste rather than measurements.

The major reason for this is that in addition to being an art form in and of itself, Cajun food is often made even more delicious or mysterious simply by the mood of the one doing the cooking. I'm sure that many of you have watched as Emeril Lagasse makes some special concoction and exclaims 'Bam!

There is a reason that many southern cooked dishes are referred to as soul food and you should not for one second forget that New Orleans is in the heart of the Deep South.there is a good bit of that when it comes to Cajun cooking. Something that goes far beyond the ingredients in the recipe and somewhere into the heart and the soul of the cook in question.

The most difficult thing, perhaps when it comes to preparing good Cajun dishes outside of the New Orleans region is finding the right ingredients. It is nearly impossible to find the fresh seasonings and spices that are essential to most Cajun cuisine outside the heart of the old south.

It's no small task to find fresh crawfish and andouille sausage especially in a northern climate such as in Michigan. However, if Cajun food is what you crave to learn to prepare, you will need to find a way to get the ingredients that are required to make it right!

There are some grocers that will carry a limited stock of Cajun seasonings on their international food aisles. Keep in mind that these sources are extremely limited.Specialty food shops or those that will special order might be your best bet.

After you buy all the necessary food, now you play some jazz music while you cook to set the right atmosphere. Many of the favored Cajun meals need a good couple of hours to prepare in order to be slow cooked so this should be kept in mind beforehand.

Similar to those who live in the Big Easy, Cajun food must not be rushed. It will be ready in just the right amount of time. As the one who cooks this food, you have to simply accept this fact. This food has its own way of letting you know when it's ready which is almost mythical--until you have found it out for yourself.

Cooking Cajun food will try your patience, try your talents, and in some cases zap your energy, as it tends to be an emotional process for many. On the other end however, Cajun food is some of the richest and most delicious food on the planet. Mastering the ability to cook this wonderful food will make you a slave to its flavor for many years to come. - 17268

Fancy Getting Your Own Home Gyms - A Few Reasons Why

By Carol

Like most people, you've probably decided that this year will be the year that you'll finally get into shape. You resolutely tell yourself that you'll tone down and get that washboard stomach. And you know what that means...hours, and hours of working out at the gym. So let's discuss the merits of setting up a home gym.

The number one benefit of having a home gym is convenience. If you're like most people, you don't have a lot of time to work out, not to mention driving across down to a gym. So why not just have a gym in the comfort of your own home? Not only is it going to save gas and cut back on travelling time, but you'll more likely burn more calories since everything you need is right in you house.

Another advantage is money. Monthly fees and training sessions can add up, making working out at your local gym a bit pricey. Perhaps if you spent hours there everyday, it would all be worth it. But let's be honest, just how much time do we spend at the gym? Just how often do you really go, and it worth what you're paying for? Having your own gym is only a one time investment, and you're free to work out as much as you want, whenever you want.

A lot of people also feel a bit uncomfortable working out in public. Let's face it, it's not easy working out next to some athlete with a six pack, while you're there trying to get rid of your beer belly. For some people, it can be a bit embarassing. Having a home gym will let you work out from the privacy of your own home, so you can work out away from prying eyes and at your own pace.

But before you go out and break the bank buying all these expensive equipment, consider the amount of money that you will have to spend. Set a budget, and buy only what you can afford. It may be tempting to get everything you see, but you don't have to buy them all once. You can start by purchasing a few equipment, gradually adding on to it when you start to build more complex routines as your workout progresses.

One good place to start is by investing in a treadmill or a medicine ball. Those two pieces of equipment are more than enough to prime you for more advanced workouts.

So I hope these few tips have been a great help, and you'll be running out to start your own gym! Remember that this is the year that you will get into shape, so be resolute and don't delay this any longer! - 17268

Organic Foods - Regardless of Health benefits

By Kiiera Succes Group

Weve all been told that organic food is better for us; it contains more minerals and less dangerous chemicals, but lots of people dont even stop to consider the benefits organic food has on our environment and on its producers. In addition to various other benefits, organic products put fewer pesticides, fertilizers, and other dangerous chemicals into the environment. This makes it beneficial for not only your family, but for other families now and in the future.

A major benefit of reduced chemicals from agriculture is an improvement in our soil quality. Organic farming works to build the soil naturally through companion planting and crop rotations. This works with the natural system to keep the soil healthy. Traditional agriculture uses chemicals to supplement soil; treating the symptom without treating the cause.

Do you think all the chemicals from agriculture end up in the plants or soil? Think again. Water from rain or irrigation doesnt all stay on the fields. It can run off into lakes, rivers, and streams. It can also seep deep into the soil and enter underground water supplies. And when this water leaves the fields, it takes all the dangerous chemicals with it. So even if you dont eat the food produced by traditional agriculture, you could still be getting these chemicals through your local water supply. And while many places control the amount of these chemicals, others cant. In many rural areas, the only available source of water is from the ground.

If youre concerned about the effect these dangerous chemicals might have on your family, think of the consequences of working with these chemicals every day. People who work on traditional farms are exposed to fertilizers and pesticides more often and in higher amounts than your family will ever be. There are many cases every year of people being poisoned with agricultural chemicals; accidentally and intentionally.

Pesticides can affect wildlife in the area. If you kill off all the bugs, the birds have nothing to eat. Then the animals that eat the birds will also have nothing to eat. If animals survive, but still have chemicals in their system, they can poison larger animals that eat them. Another factor is that not all insects are pests. Many pesticides also kill beneficial wildlife as well as the harmful inhabitants.

What may be the worst affect of traditional agriculture is that its other practices make the need for pesticides and fertilizers greater. Planting the same crop year after year can make your plants more susceptible to pests. Failing to keep the soil from washing away makes the new soil require more fertilizers so plants will grow. Traditional farming is taking no steps to reduce their use of chemicals, just to make them greater.

In addition to the benefits of chemical free agriculture, organic producers work with the environment as a system. They promote conservation of water and soil and strive to keep the land the way it is so future generations can work the land as well. - 17268

A Guide To Banana Calories

By Rachel Greene

Bananas are one of the most popular foods all over the world. They are also one of the easiest to eat, especially if you are watching your diet, as you can carry them around with you until you want to eat them quite easily.

As with all fruits, bananas are good for you on a general health basis. The actual calories in a banana can vary widely as this fruit can range from the tiny to the outsized. But, in very general terms you can expect anything between 70 calories for a small banana through to +/-140 for a particularly large specimen.

Calorie counting your banana can be an important thing to do if you are watching your overall health or if you are on a diet. As a particularly popular fruit many people want to know the impact that eating bananas will have on their diet. So, what can a banana give you apart from 70-140 calories?

Bananas are actually a very rich source of vitamins and minerals. They are, for example, great at boosting your potassium levels and are a good source of calcium, magnesium, fiber, protein and healthy carbohydrates. One of the great things about eating a banana as a snack is that it can take a while for the body to absorb its nutrients which simply means, if you are on a diet, that it can leave you feeling fuller for longer.

In vitamin terms the average banana also gives you plenty of vitamins A, B and C in various forms. They are also low in sodium which is, once again, great news in healthy eating terms. You could almost say that eating one banana gives you access to as many good things as a meal!

The fact that bananas are absorbed relatively slowly also means that they can give you a steady and consistent release of energy after you have eaten them. For this reason they are often the favored fruit of athletes looking for a quick energy surge followed by a long lasting energy boost.

You may also find that bananas also have other health benefits as well as healthy eating ones. Their high potassium content, for example, can be beneficial to your blood pressure and to your overall cardio vascular health. Their fiber content is also thought to work against heart diseases. And, many sufferers from ulcers and related stomach disorders find that they can tolerate bananas over most any other fruits.

So, this fruit could be the ideal health solution for people of all ages. Bananas are also great for children (and adults) as their calcium content helps promote the growth of healthy bones.

And, in the general scheme of things we should all be looking to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day to stay healthy. Bananas are often the easiest option for us here and they also go great with breakfast cereals and other meals so can be relatively versatile. So, next time you need to reach for an energy snack reach for a banana! - 17268

Probiotics and your Digestive System

By Jasmine Reich-Olulu

Todays diet is changing the way our stomachs feel and act. The way we continue to eat unhealthy foods such as fast food, processed foods, and deep-fried foods puts a strain on our digestive tract. With all this unhealthy food easily at our access we need to start protecting and improving our digestive systems. Over the last couple of years doctors have seen amazing benefits from something called probiotics. I will explain a little more about probiotics in this article.

People are not too familiar with probiotics yet. The last couple of years probiotics have hit the store aisles. Probiotics are actually what is called healthy bacteria. They will support the activity of the intestinal microflora that will secrete enzymes to digest the foods we eat. They will also maintain the normal health of the intestinal lining in the small intestine which is crucial because it absorbs nutrients. Good health always starts with the digestive tract. You might want to know how to tell if the probiotic is of good quality. The best way to tell is look at how many active species it has and how many CFUs or colony forming units the formula has.

The probiotic surge is partly due to consumer knowledge on the reported benefits that probiotic supplementation can bring. This amazing healthy bacteria has been shown to reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and helps maintain intestinal microflora balance and also produces anti-carcinogenic effects. A recent study done by a gentlemen with UAS labs indicates that probiotics may also lower cholesterol levels, which is great news!

There are tons of different products to choose from when it comes to probiotics. The knowledge of what is a good probiotic and what is bad is crucial when buying probiotics. I have tried dozens of products from different companies and finally found the one that works best for me. The formula has 120 billion CFUs or colony forming units, and has 12 active species. This is much more powerful than 90% of other probiotic formulas on the market. The company name is Extreme Health USA and the probiotics are made in America which is key to getting a superior product.

Now that you have a grasp on what probiotics are and what they can do for you, make sure you pick the right formula. Again make sure you are checking the CFU amount and the amount of active species. If you have gastrointestinal or GI problems like 62,000 million other Americans you should give probiotics a try. They helped me out and can help you too. - 17268

The Pomegranate: An Overview

By Fred Timmons

The Pomegranate is a native fruit tree that grows in Iran all the way to the Himalayas. It only grows to be about five to eight meters high. It has been naturalized in the whole Mediterranean area. You can find it in Iraq, Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, India, Pakistan, Syria, Turkey, South East Asia, Peninsular Malaysia, the East Indies and Africa. You can also find it growing in parts of Arizona, Florida and California too.

This fruit bush grows best in subtropical climates with cool winters and hot summers. The Pomegranate that are grown in Florida seem to bear much tastier and colorful fruit if the winter has been a cold one for that area.

The leaves of the Pomegranate are a narrow, oblong shape, darker green and glossy looking. The flowers and the fruit are a bright red color. The fruit can grow anywhere from the size of a lemon to the size of a grapefruit and is hexagonal in shape. The seeds and pulp inside can range in colors of white, red and even purple.

You have to be careful that your pomegranate plants don't attract the pomegranate butterfly. This insect will lay its eggs on the flower buds, they will hatch and the caterpillars will enter the fruit and eat it from the inside. Whole crops have been lost to this pest. You will also want to watch for whitely, thrips, mealy bugs and scale insects. Termites can also infest the trunk. Putting plastic or paper bags over the fruit actually helps eliminate infestation of these insects. Always be sure to inspect the fruit for bruises, dents and tears as these can indicate a possible insect intruder.

The nutritional value of the Pomegranate is very high, including Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothetic Acid, Vitamin B6, Foliate, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and zinc.

When you open a pomegranate, what you will see inside is a bunch of seeds covered with what looks like a dark red or purple membrane. This membrane is the fruit. You can eat the seeds, but it is the fruit around them that contains all the flavor. The seeds are also ground and used for spicing dishes in some countries. Some countries such as Iraq make soups containing the whole seed, fruit and juice of the Pomegranate.

Ever since farmers and cultivators found out about the pomegranate and how to grow it, just as with any other crop they have cross pollinated and cultivated it until there are several different varieties available. Green Globe, Wonderful, Home. Early Wonderful are just a few at the top of the list. - 17268

A Healthy Diet Will Be Always Your Best Choice to Lose Weight

By Ricardo d Argence

To develop a healthy diet, you must understand the basics of nutrition. You'll hear a lot of talk about carbs, proteins, and fats, but what does it all mean? First of all, there are two types of carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are otherwise known as sugars. Complex carbohydrates are starches that store glucose. Your digestive system breaks the starch down and releases the glucose into the bloodstream. You shouldn't cut out all carbs, because they provide your body with energy.

Proteins are necessary for any diet as they provide cells with what they require for growth and to maintain their structure. Animal and vegetable foods both contain protein. Animal sources of proteins, such as eggs, milk, and meat, contain all the essential amino acids.

Believe it or not, but fats are also important to your diet. Your body burns fat as fuel, providing you with energy. The only way to get certain essential fat-soluble vitamins is through food. Your body has no way of producing these on its own. There are two kinds of fats, saturated and unsaturated. High fatty foods like dairy products (butter, cream), mayonnaise, and oils should be limited.

The best way to prevent obesity is to eat right. Many illnesses and conditions are caused or complicated by obesity, including diabetes, stroke and heart disease, cancer, sleep apnea, gout, osteoarthritis, and problems with the gall bladder. This is the type of thing that can cut your life short, and cut you off from a normal lifestyle.

Of course it's your goal to maintain a healthy weight, but you need to realize that it's not going to change your physique immediately. If you're trying to lose weight because you think you'll look like a supermodel, better think again, that's definitely the wrong reason. The goal is to get yourself healthy and fit, and this will take time.

It will not be effective to use quick fixes such as diet pills or starvation diets. These results are not long lasting and can really do more bad than good. It's not dieting that is important but improving your overall health.

Exercise is also necessary for achieving this goal. This is especially vital for great heart health. It's true that muscle weighs more than fat, but it is better to be muscular and weigh more than flabby and weigh less.

When you have the necessary information, it's time to get started. Your first step is to decide on what your goal weight-loss is. You need to have a plan for how you are going to get your goal. Give yourself a reasonable timeframe. Sit down and figure out exactly how many calories you should be taking in daily, and how much exercise you'll need to stay in shape.

Weight-loss-wise, there'll be good days and bad days, so don't give up the ship! Stick to your plan, no matter what. Once a goal is reached, try not to revert back to your vices or bad habits. Keep in mind that this is a lifestyle change, not just a diet. - 17268

Fitness - Weight Loss Pills: Should You Use Them

By Gregor Mahrer

Have you been trying to lose weight with the use of exercise and healthy eating? If you have, have you still been coming up short on your weight loss goal? If you have, you may be interested in seeking help through the use of weight loss products, namely weight loss pills. Although you may be thinking about giving weight loss pills a chance, you may be wondering if you should.

When it comes to determining whether or not weight loss pills are right for you, there are a number of different questions that you will want to ask yourself. These questions can help you truly determine if weight loss pills are right for you. A few of the many questions that you may want to ask yourself, concerning weight loss pills, are outlined below.

Losing weight ?naturally,? often involves exercise and healthy eating. Have you been exercising? Exercising can involve visiting your local fitness center, putting an exercise video in your DVD player, or something as simple as taking a nightly walk. Eating healthy involves cutting all sweets from your diet or at least significantly reducing them. If you haven?t taken these steps yet, you may want to first try losing weight naturally. If that doesn?t work, weight loss diet pills may be something for you to consider.

If you regularly find yourself eating more food than you should or more food than you need to, why do you think that you do so? Are you just eating because you are bored or does your body sense that you are hungry? This is important question that you need to answer, as many weight loss pills are designed to suppress your hunger. While this can help many individuals reduce the amount of food that they eat and the number of calories they take in, it will only help you if you think that your body is telling you that you are still hungry. If you are what is commonly referred to as a ?bored eater,? there is a good chance that you will still continue to eat.

Another question that you need to ask yourself is if you can afford the costs of weight loss pills. When examining the cost of weight loss pills, you will find that they are sold for a wide range of prices. Although it is important to make sure that you can afford the cost of weight loss pills, it is important that you do not comprise calibre for costs. If you cannot afford the weight loss pills that come highly rated and recommend, you may just end up wasting your money on weight loss pills that may not necessarily work. That is why it is advised that you consult with your doctor or search for weight loss diet pill reviews online, before making any purchases.

The above mentioned questions are just a few of the many that you may want to ask yourself, before you automatically go out and buy weight loss pills for yourself. As a reminder, it is important that you do the proper amount of research before you buy weight loss pills, should you decide to do so. Weight loss diet pills are not all created equally; therefore, they have varying results. - 17268
