healthy weightloss missouri As I have previously written, berries are loaded with health-protective properties. For example, these super foods appear to fight cancer, heart disease, infections and more.

Now, for the first time, there’s remarkable evidence that people who eat blueberries, strawberries, and acai berries may protect their brains from the effects of aging, too.

Berries such as blueberries, cranberries, strawberries and raspberries are rich in disease-fighting phytochemicals that prevent and even reverse serious diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stomach ulcers and even help lower cholesterol levels.

Berries contain a variety of phytochemicals and antioxidants — many of these are what give the plants their color but they also add a sense of flavor to the berries. These phytonutrients are extremely powerful compounds for supporting optimum human health; in fact they are far more powerful than any pharmaceutical in terms of providing healthy benefits without dangerous side effects.

laphys.fruit 3 The Grapefruit is a Superfood According to a government website, the grapefruit we know today was developed in the West Indies in the early 1700s and first introduced to Florida in the 1820s. Today, most grapefruit is still grown in Florida. Since the early part of the 20th century, mutant strains of white grapefruit have appeared with pink to slightly reddish color, and have been propagated by citriculturists into several strains of grapefruit that are now best known as the Ruby Red. Grapefruit got its name from the way it grows in clusters (like grapes) on the tree.

What works? What doesn’t?

Nutrition Program provided by La Physique' Slimming Spa Waynesville 65583 As a licensed personal trainer, I’ve witnessed the multitude of myths and fads that run rampant through the fitness and nutrition industries. We all want a program that takes the least amount of time, yet misses nothing crucial. There is no five-minute work out, no magic pill, and no single supplement available, that will give you instant results.

Follow these 10 proven strategies:

1. Weight Train: Train three times a week, allowing a minimum of twenty-four hours rest, between sessions. Optimum increases in muscle growth, fat loss, and strength, occur only with complete recovery. So, rest on your days off.

2. Length of Session: If you are able to weight train for more than fifty minutes, you are not pushing yourself hard enough. Increase your intensity! You should be at muscle exhaustion, by the fifty-minute mark.

3. Body Parts: On DAY ONE, train your biceps and triceps. On DAY TWO, train your legs and shoulders. And, on DAY THREE, train your back and chest. Change up the order every six weeks, or so, to maintain muscle confusion.

Why is it important to eat breakfast?

Healthy Lifestyle Missouri 1. Skipping breakfast makes you hungrier and more likely to grab a high-calorie, more fatty snack mid-morning.

2. A nutritional boost first thing in the morning gets you energized, and kicks your metabolism into gear, thereby burning more body fat, all day.

3. Skipping breakfast is linked to other lifestyle factors, such as smoking, infrequent exercise, and dieting.

4. Scientific evidence suggests that eating breakfast, regularly, can help reduce health risk factors for becoming overweight or obese, coronary heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.

5. Those who skip meals maintain 10% more body fat, than those who eat breakfast on a regular basis.

So, get up and eat your breakfast! High protein and high carbohydrates in the morning is a must!

Dark Chocolate Really Is Healthy!

As a health and fitness expert I have always advocated the concept of reward – a little indulgence, a treat for the hard work and discipline that goes with being fit. And it was that motivation that led to my becoming a Dove distributor. Another factor was that there is some really good news about chocolate.

In fact, if you are a chocolate lover like moi, it’s the greatest health news ever! Studies in two leading health and nutrition journals say dark chocolate is good for you.

The scientists emphasize – “Not white chocolate or milk chocolate, but DARK, and the richer in cacao the better.”

Antioxidants in Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate — but not milk chocolate or dark chocolate eaten with milk — is a potent antioxidant, reports Mauro Serafini, PhD, of Italy’s National Institute for Food and Nutrition Research in Rome, and colleagues. Their report appears in the Aug. 28 issue of Nature. Antioxidants gobble up free radicals, destructive molecules that are implicated in heart disease and other ailments.

“Our findings indicate that milk may interfere with the absorption of antioxidants from chocolate … and may therefore negate the potential health benefits that can be derived from eating moderate amounts of dark chocolate.”

WebMD: Translation: Say “Dark, please,” when ordering at the chocolate counter. Don’t even think of washing it down with milk. And if health is your excuse for eating chocolate, remember the word “moderation” as you nibble.

Live to be 100 years old through good nutrition Want to live to be 100 and still be mentally sharp and healthy? Writing at NewsMax Health Dr. Russell Blaylock says that it IS entirely possible.

National statistics indicate that the leading causes of death are heart attacks, cancer, and strokes, with death related to normally prescribed pharmaceutical drugs close behind.

Short of death, the major scourges of aging are dementia and a generalized loss of function — failure of vision, hearing loss, severe weakness, and a loss of taste.

Official government recommendations on vitamin D intake are far too low for optimal health, the director of the Sunlight, Nutrition, and Health Research Center has warned.

See our previous blog about Vitamin D on MerchantCircle -

The Sunlight Vitamin is D

Vitamin D Sunlight Vitamin “The current dietary guideline, approximately 400 IU/day, was based on the amount of vitamin D in a spoonful of cod liver oil, which prevented rickets,” William B. Grant Ph.D said.

William B. Grant, Ph.D.: “Vitamin D has been a natural part of man’s experience forever, and 90% of vitamin D is derived from solar ultraviolet-B (UVB) irradiance. The health effects of vitamin D can be and have been determined from a variety of studies including ecological, observational (case-control and cohort), and cross-sectional studies.”
