Can spinach save your eyesight? 2008-04-17 23:40:16 We’ve all heard that carrots help you see in the dark.But can spinach help prevent sight loss?In the UK, over 25% of the over 60s have some degree of visual loss because of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).AMD occurs in the centre part of the retina called the macula. It can cause blindness in the centre of the eye, with peripheral vision only remaining.Part of the retina’s protection is a pigment, lutein, which absorbs UV blue light, the most damaging wavelength of sunlight. Lutein is also thought to be an antioxidant which helps maintain the health of the eye. The pigment itself can only come from diet, and one very good source for this is spinach.The researchers gave a group of people who have early signs of the disease a six month spinach rich diet - half a bag of fresh spin
The New Skinny On Cellulite 2008-04-17 22:05:12 For years, you’ve heard that the only way to improve cellulite is with diet and exercise. That’s pretty frustrating advice, considering that about 90 percent of women—are walking around with unwanted dimples. But if one can't afford one has to return to home remedies for it. I wish I could tell you that these procedures will magically make all of your cellulite disappear, but that would be stretching the truth. I can say that these are your best bets for making a dent—or fewer of them—in those dimpled thighs.Engage in exercise. One common cause of cellulites is the lack of exercise. Therefore, by performing some not-so-strenuous activities like walking, swimming, jogging, warming up and cooling down, calisthenics, and cardio exercises, you increase the rate of lessening the exist Read more:Cellulite
Lazy way to lose weight 2008-04-17 08:49:15 I am always researching a way which would help me to maintain a healthy weight and at the same time not to live without my indulgences, which I have quite often. Then after a lot of digging in the Internet I found some evidence that it is possible and according to American researchers may have hit upon a way to lose weight
without eating less or doing more exercise.They found teenage girls weighed less and had less body fat if they ate more calcium.Just one cup of milk or a thumb-sized piece of cheese was enough to make a difference.But UK experts say the findings could be explained by the fact that people who eat more calcium are likely to have a healthier diet overall.University of Hawaii researchers asked 321 girls aged between nine to 14 to record everything they ate and drank and any
Can New Nutrition Ratings for Food Make Us Healthier? 2008-04-17 00:08:36 A new food-ranking system called the Overall Nutrition Quality Index (ONQI) is about to make your grocery shopping a healthier or more confusing experience, depending on whom you ask. The ONQI is already in many stores and will debut nationwide this spring. Later this year, the ratings of about 50,000 foods and food products will be available online. But I'm not convinced it will help any of us make better food choices.As we need more pressure and stress regarding our health The ONQI is based on evaluating some 30 different nutrients and dividing the good (vitamins, minerals, protein, phytonutrients, etc.) by the bad (saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, added sugars, glycemic load, etc.). The end result is a formula that scores a product based on its nutrition facts and some other nuanc Read more:Ratings
5 Things to worry less about 2008-04-16 23:21:45 Today I thought to shed some light on some of the issues we always worry
about so after some research over a cup of java I found some interesting thingsYour lipstick could make you sick In 2007, an environmentalist group, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, had 33 lipsticks tested for lead. Although there’s no lead limit for lipstick, one third of the tubes had more than the limit allowed for candy. That started a scare that spread like wildfire. The Truth: “The reality is that lead is in almost everything,” says Michael Thun, MD, head of epidemiological research for the American Cancer Society. “It’s all around us. But the risk from lead in lipstick is extremely small.” In fact, lead poisoning is most commonly caused by other environmental factors—pipes and paint in older hom
Fruits and Vegetables 2008-04-16 10:05:10 Scientific studies have shown that people who eat a lot of fruit and vegetables may have a lower risk of getting illnesses, such as heart disease and some cancers. For this reason, health authorities recommend that you eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day - and it doesn't matter whether they're fresh, tinned, frozen, cooked, juiced or dried.

High protein diets for weight loss 2008-04-16 02:34:42 A high protein
diet can aid weight loss although for reasons not previously foreseen by many dieters. It is believed that a high protein diet, low in carbohydrates helps burn more calories when the body converted protein to glucose, a process known as gluconeogenesis. In fact evidence suggests that the amount of extra energy used for this process is insignificant.Many of us think that the best way to fill our stomachs is with a large amount of carbs. But is this the best way to keep us from snacking throughout the day?BBC food decided to find out. Research shows that eight out of nine subjects ate less after a protein-rich meal than after a protein-poor one.To illustrate this they recruited three volunteers used to working long shifts and snacking on the job to see if they could give them
What’s with the obsession about weight ? 2008-04-16 01:58:44 A distressing or impairing preoccupation with an imagined or slight defect in one's appearance is on a rise and I wonder who’s benefiting from this, the particular individual’s health or the Cosmetic industry .Let’s see, an individual is so preoccupied with his image that apart from the work stress, he has an added stress amount leading to anxiety .Whereas the Cosmetic industry is telling us that a perfect 10 figure is the way to go to improve our self confidence. I agree that one has to be healthy after all health is wealth but just because we have wealth, we can’t go around buying health. The problem nowadays is that the obsession is getting younger and younger, earlier a woman in her 50’s used to get concerned about her skin and health but now even a 10 year old is concerned

Good Bye Dandruff 2008-04-20 05:50:16 Everyone has dandruff--at least some dandruff--and that includes bald people. That's because every human scalp sheds dead cells, which "flake" off as new ones are pushed up from deeper skin layers. When these flakes become obvious on our hair and clothing, we call them dandruff. Perfectly natural stuff--but too often, we're made to feel as though this "problem" falls somewhere between global warming and playing high-stakes poker with someone named Ace.Dandruff particles are visible flakes of skin that have been continuously shed from the scalp. Surprisingly, dandruff is a bit of an enigma. Dandruff can cause either an overly dry scalp with itchy white flakes that may be waxy or greasy or dandruff can manifest as an oily greasy scalp with scales. Dandruff can happen at any age but is most c Read more:Good Bye
Turmeric to prevent Alzheimer’s disease and Cancer 2008-04-21 23:52:52 It is ironic how something as obvious as nutrition has become overlooked in the modern health care system, and how in the name of convenience our fast paced society has given way to fast foods, microwaves, quick fix medicines, and eating on the run. Fortunately, there is a growing focus in the important role that nutrition plays in maintaining good health. In Ayurveda, India's ancient science of life, health and longevity, food plays a prominent role in promoting health and is therefore considered medicine.Turmeric is most well known over the longest period of time for its anti-inflammatory and cleansing properties.Although turmeric has been used for many years in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine (primarily as a detox/cleanser) - it is only in the last several years that has developed a gro Read more:prevent
