Deciding to become a vegetarian isn't just about not eating meat; it requires a careful consideration of your whole diet to ensure that nutrients usually provided by meat or dairy products are obtained from other foods. However, with careful thought vegetarian diets can be a very healthy option.Protein: Meat is an excellent source of high-quality protein.

All About the Atkins Diet
2008-04-28 20:36:00
Dr. Robert Atkins originally created the Atkins diet in the 1970's. The popularity of this low-carb diet reached its zenith about ten years ago, but it is believed that today as many as twenty-five million Americans may be on low-carb diets at any given time.How Does a Low-Carb Diet Work?The Atkins diet is based on Dr. Atkins' theory that the over-consumption of carbohydrates is the root of most people's problems with weight gain. The body is fueled by sugar, whether it is the natural sugar found in foods or the processed sugar added to many foods. When your body runs out of sugar to use as fuel, it uses carbohydrates instead. Carbohydrates are long chains of sugars, which the body breaks down into sugar. Atkins believes that when people limit the carbohydrates available, they force the b

Rather than low carb, today's mantra is good carb: whole grains, vegetables, fruits and legumes.Not all fat is bad: After years of stocking their kitchens with fat-free foods, many Boomers have a hard time embracing the notion that some fats are good for you, says dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.Nuts, avocados and olives were once eschewed for their fat content, but these plant sources of monounsaturated fat

Diet Tips for Lower Blood Pressure
2008-04-27 21:10:00
Hypertension, stroke, and heart disease are common in the United States and most other Western industrialized nations. Epidemiologists attribute much of their prevalence to diet. After decades of research, scientists have concluded that the typical American diet is a recipe for hypertension and cardiovascular disease: too much salt, too much saturated fat, too many calories, and not enough fruits and vegetables. But the good news is that you can take an active role in preventing and controlling high blood pressure by watching what you eat.Consume less saltDoctors first noticed a link between hypertension and sodium chloride — the most common form of dietary salt — in the early 1900s, when they found restricting salt in patients with kidney failure and severe hypertension brought their

Understanding The Glycemix Index - For Weight Loss And Better Health
2008-05-01 13:15:00
The Glycemic Index (GI) is a way of rating carbohydrate foods according to how quickly the carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, and thus how quickly that glucose enters the bloodstream. The reasoning behind this is that carbohydrates that enter the bloodstream quickly raise blood sugar levels rapidly, causing a spike in energy, that is followed by a drop after the effects of insulin are triggered.Insulin is one of the hormones that help regulate blood sugar levels, and tries to keep them stable. When too much glucose enters the bloodstream at a time, the body reacts by releasing insulin to remove some of that glucose back out of the blood and into our cells. Its simply a way of keeping the balance. However the effect is that when all the glucose we just ate, in the form of carbohyd
