Video about Genetically Modified Food production. 2007-03-13 16:45:00 Watch this video about how food production around the world has developed and become degraded as new farming methods have produced masses of reduced nutrient crops. It gives frightening details of how scientists go about producing genetically modified crops - see if you want to eat them after watching this. It is really no wonder that the population has become increasingly under-nourished as the foods we eat contain ever-increasing chemical fertilisers and pesticides and ever-decreasing levels of vitamins and minerals. .There are several more videos in the "future of food series". Fight against genetically modified, pesticide dosed, nutrient poor foods - check labels for gm foods and buy organic whenever you can. Love Suz x Read more:Genetically

January Diet Poem 2007-03-08 14:30:00 I love this poem. Thanks to the unknown author who wrote it. It was the month after Christmas and all through the housenothing would fit me, not even a blouse.The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste,at the holiday parties had gone to my waist.When I got on the scales there arose such a number!When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,the wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheeseand the way I'd never said, "No Thank you, please."As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirtand prepared once again to do battle with dirt.I said to myself, as I only can"you can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"So---away with the last of the sour cream dip,get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chipevery last bit of food that I like must be banishedtill all the additional ounces have vanished.I won't have a cookie----not even a lick.I'll want only to chew on a long celery s Read more:January

Low levels of tryptophan can lead to low levels of serotonin producing depression, irritability, carbohydrate cravings, insomnia and inability to concentrate.Eating foods rich in tryptophan should help increase serotonin and improve your mood.

What is a diet? 2007-03-06 13:26:00 What is a diet?Ask my mother-in-law ‘what’s a diet’ and she’ll tell you how she’s struggled with losing weight all her life. But your diet is everything you eat, and not just about counting calories because that dress you bought last year now won’t zip. So how does your diet shape up? You could take care to eat a low-fat diet, a high-protein diet, a healthy diet, a diet of cream cakes and mars bars or put no more thought into your diet than buying whatever’s on offer at your local superstore! Your diet can make you lose weight, or pile it on; give you shiny hair and a clear complexion or pus-filled spots and a serious headache.Why are there so many weight loss diets and yet so many overweight people?With so many people obese the list of weight loss diets is endless. There is Atkins, South Beach, the Mediterranean Diet, the grapefruit diet and, for the really brave (or desperate) the cabbage soup diet. They all proclaim that if you follow their quirky rules you will soon b
