When Health Food Stores Go Bad
2008-04-29 07:14:00 I went into a health food store a few years ago with the objective of testing the ?specially trained technitain.? I asked what medical ingredients were in willow bark. I was assured that their willow bard was 100% organic and there was no medical chemicals added.I took another step and asked if there were any medical ?properties? and was again assured that there are not. I finally asked why willow was good for my allergies. They assured me it was because natural things interact naturally with other natural things to help them work better ? I left feeling uneasy. The fact is that most of our medicines contain these ?natural? elements that are a part of our herbs and natural plants. Each of the properties that heal are ? indeed ? medical in definition. They are medicinal ingredients. When a health store misrepresents this, they down play the importance of making sure there is no reaction between the medical properties in natural products and the pills that you are currently taking....

Oysters Are Health Food
2008-03-14 19:53:00 I mentioned a few days ago about the benefits of gulf oysters for sexual drive. But, they have more benefits. There are a lot of nutrients in this tasty little morsel that are needed in our bodies. Gulf oysters are an excellent source of zinc, vitamin B-12, and omega-3 fatty acids which reduces triglycerides (the bad fat in the blood).Six medium oysters contain only 58 calories.However, it is important how to eat oysters. There are dangers to eating raw oysters. Gulf Oysters are healthier, because of the way they are processed.An oyster pumps 25 gallons of water through its body each day.Those that reside in polluted waters, can have potentially harmful organisms deposited in the oyster. Therefore, fresh water, or raw oysters from areas that are polluted aren't goody to eat. Never eat an oyster that was opened before cooking/serving, dead oysters increase the health risks. Cooked oysters, and Gulf Oysters, are a different story.Are Gulf Oysters Healthy? YESThe GOIC believes that an...

10 'Healthy' Foods That Aren't So Healthy
2007-12-14 11:54:00 Ever wonder why you can?t lose weight even though you?re eating ?healthy??More than likely it?s because you?re misinformed as to what really constitutes healthy food, nutritionist and dietician Tanya Zuckerbrot told Foxnews.com.?When I see some of the food choices people make I wonder if it?s just that people don?t care,? said Zuckerbrot, author of the F-Factor Diet. ?But I really think it?s just that people don?t know what?s good for them and what?s not.?Here are 10 healthy foods that aren?t:Olive oil: Sure it?s a heart-healthy monounsaturated oil, but it?s also rich in calories and fat. ?Oil is oil,? Zuckerbrot said.?Whether it?s olive oil or some other kind of oil, it still has 120 calories and 14 grams of fat per tablespoon. You?re better off using a pat of butter (for bread) than dipping it in olive oil because the bread sops up the oil like a sponge.

A Diet Primer For Health Food And Vitamins
2007-11-26 03:44:00 A Diet Primer For Health Food And Vitaminsby: Deborah Prosser Quite often, we want to eat healthier but don?t know exactly how to start. Sometimes food you think might be good may in fact not be right for you, and vice-versa. This article looks at some simple diet changes you can start to make right away that will improve your overall health.

No-Carb Diet May Curb Prostate Cancer
2007-11-14 08:53:00 In Lab Tests On Mice, Prostate Tumors Grow Slower With No-Carbohydrate Dietwww.cbsnews.comForgoing carbohydrates may slow the growth of prostate cancer, according to preliminary lab tests in mice.The researchers aren't making dietary recommendations for men. But they say the topic deserves further study."This study showed that cutting carbohydrates may slow tumor growth, at least in mice," Duke University urologist Stephen Freedland, MD, says in a news release."If this is ultimately confirmed in human clinical trials, it has huge implications for prostate cancer therapy through something that all of us can control, our diets," says Freedland, who plans to start such trials next year.Freedland's team split 75 mice into three groups:Low-fat diet: 12 percent fat, 16 percent protein, 72 percent carbohydrateWestern diet: 40 percent fat, 16 percent protein, 44 percent carbohydrateNo-carb diet: 84 percent fat, 16 percent protein, 0 percent carbohydrateThe no-carb diet was modeled on a sp...
High-Fat, High-Protein Atkins Diet Increase Risk Of Heart Disease
2007-11-09 07:37:00 www.allheadlinenews.comThe high-fat, high-protein and low-carbohydrate Atkins diet of eggs, meat and cheese may put the followers at risk for heart disease in just one month, a new study suggests.Researchers at the University of Maryland say the popular diet raises your "bad" cholesterol and damages the blood vessels thus increasing the risk of heart disease.Dr. Michael Miller, lead author of the study said, "I think the Atkins diet is potentially detrimental for cardiovascular health, if maintained for a long duration and without attempts to lose weight.""A stabilizing Atkins diet is not the way to go," he added.After putting 26 people on three diets, the high-fat Atkins and the low-fat South Beach and Ornish diets, researchers found that the Atkins Diet raised the study subjects' bad cholesterol by an average of 16 points.It also brought on symptoms of hardening of the arteries, a precursor to strokes or heart attacks. However, the subjects had better lab tests on the other two d...

A new study by a group of Huntsville researchers found that boiled peanuts bring out up to four times more chemicals that help protect against disease than raw, dry or oil-roasted nuts.Lloyd Walker, chair of Alabama A&M University's Department of Food and Animal Sciences who co-authored the study, said these phytochemicals have antioxidant qualities that protect cells against the risk of degenerative diseases, including cancers, diabetes and heart disease."Boiling is a better method of preparing peanuts in order to preserve these phytochemicals," Walker said.The study will appear in Wednesday's edition of the American Chemical Society's Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. The other co-authors in the study are A&M researchers Yvonne Chukwumah and Martha Verghese, as well as University of Alabama in Huntsville researcher Bernhard Vogler.Walk...

Why garlic is good for the heart
2007-10-16 06:47:00 news.bbc.co.ukResearchers have cracked the mystery of why eating garlic can help keep the heart healthy.The key is allicin, which is broken down into the foul-smelling sulphur compounds which taint breath. These compounds react with red blood cells and produce hydrogen sulphide which relaxes the blood vessels, and keeps blood flowing easily.The University of Alabama at Birmingham research appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. However, UK experts warned taking garlic supplements could lead to side effects. Hydrogen sulphide generates a smell of rotten eggs and is used to make stink bombs. But at low concentrations it plays a vital role in helping cells to communicate with each other. And within the blood vessels it stimulates the cells that form the lining to relax, causing the vessels to dilate. This, in turn, reduces blood pressure, allowing the blood to carry more oxygen to essential organs, and reducing pressure on the heart. The Alabama team bathed rat bloo...
Tea may prevent osteoporosis
2007-10-11 07:44:00 www.sciencealert.com.auNew research by Australian scientists has shown that women between 70 and 85 who drink green or black tea have higher bone density in their hips than women who don't drink tea. Tea drinkers also lost less bone density over a five year period than non tea drinkers. The study confirmed previous research, which suggested that tea preserves hip structure in elderly women and may protect against osteoporosis, a condition that affects one in two Australian women over 60.The results were published in the October edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The researchers from the University of Western Australia studied 275 women between the ages of 70 and 85 over five years. The authors said that more research was needed to uncover exactly how tea drinking affected bone density.
Low-fat Dietary Pattern May Lower Risk Of Ovarian Cancer
2007-10-10 08:46:00 www.sciencedaily.comA diet low in fat could reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in healthy postmenopausal women, according to new results from the Women?s Health Initiative (WHI) Dietary Modification Trial. Researchers found that after four years, women who decreased the amount of dietary fat they consumed were 40 percent less likely to develop ovarian cancer than women who followed normal dietary patterns. As expected, no effect was found during the first four years because preventive benefits on cancer often take many years to develop. Ovarian cancer affects about 1 in 60 U.S. women in their lifetimes and has the highest mortality of all cancers of the female reproductive system.?Low-Fat Dietary Pattern and Invasive Cancer Incidence: Further Results from the Women?s Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial,? is published online October 9 by the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The WHI Dietary Modification Trial was conducted in 40 clinical centers throughout the United...
Omega 3 fatty acid reduces type 1 diabetes
2007-09-27 09:30:00 U.S. researchers say dietary omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of developing diabetes in children who are genetically at risk for the disease.The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found higher consumption of omega-3 fatty acids - found in fish - by children at risk for type 1 diabetes decreased by 55 percent the risk of pancreatic islet autoimmunity, which is linked to development of diabetes.Although it is not yet known what initiates the autoimmune process in diseases such as type 1 diabetes, the study authors believe it is likely that both genetic background and environmental factors such as dietary factors contribute to the disease process. Jill M. Norris of the University of Colorado at Denver led researchers in examining the diets of 1,770 children at increased risk for type 1 diabetes - defined as having either a high diabetes risk human leukocyte antigen genotype or a sibling or parent with type 1 diabetes. Fifty-eight children became...
Childhood Obesity - Eating Habits in Children influenced by Easily Accessib
2007-09-26 12:39:00 www.bestsyndication.comBy Mark BaroneA group of studies were reported in this week?s supplemental issue of the American Journal of Preventative Medicine. The journal compiled a number of studies that showed the different pressures that cause children and teenagers eat the wrong foods, and may be the reason for obesity epidemic.Researchers from the University of Michigan found that there were several factors that influence children into eating unhealthy food choices. One discovery is that most middle and high schools across the United States have contracts with the soft drink industry. The study reports 67 percent of the middle schools and 83 percent of the high schools will have soft drinks available for children to purchase. These kids have easy access to sugary drinks when they attend school. Why would the schools allow this? They do this for the extra income. The schools earn on average $6,000 per year or $6.48 per student at the high school level and $500 per year on average or ...
Reduce Calories And Live Longer
2007-09-23 17:22:00 www.dbtechno.comFor decades we we have known that reducing calorie intake ? not nutrients ? can be beneficial and increase life expectancy, but we didn?t know why, until now.According to U.S. researchers, the benefits of calorie reduction can be seen at a molecular level.In a study released Thursday, scientists suggest that the link between calorie restriction and longevity may be a molecular response to stresses from reducing calorie intake.Researchers believe that the reaction preserves critical cellular functions between enzymes created by two genes called SIRT3 and SIRT4,. The reaction increases the bodies ability to fight age related disease, reported CNN.?We?re not sure yet what particular mechanism is activated by these increased levels of NAD, and as a result SIRT3 and SIRT4,? said David Sinclair, a molecular biologist at Harvard Medical School who worked on the study.?These two genes, SIRT3 and SIRT4, they make proteins that go into mitochondria. ?
