DETOX WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO YOUR HEALTH

A body detox is beneficial to your health in the long run. Saves you money, too. A pound of prevention is definitely worth far more than a ton of cure. The aim of this site is to provide you with useful information so that you may be more conscious about your health. Do you often find yourself too tired to cook dinner when you get home at night after a stressful day at work? Do you prefer to eat hamburger, pizza, or spaghetti that you order from your favorite deli for home delivery?

• Canned Vegetables
• Canned fruits
• Canned Fish

Detox your body

If yes, chances are, you also ingest body toxins along with the food that you eat each day. These toxins in the body find their way inside your system in the form of preservatives.

They also enter your body by way of the water that you drink and the poor air quality that you are exposed to.That is why a body detox is essential to your health.

A Good Body Detox Program Has Three Components

They are:

• Cleansing
• Rebuilding
• Maintaining

First off, a whole body detox starts with fasting and it works wonders on your body. Old fecal matter and excess mucus are only a few of the overstaying tenants that get kicked out of your system as your body is cleansed.

Your Body Actually Digests Itself

It Burns and decomposes the damaged, unwanted, and dead tissue during a body cleanse, such as:

• Abscess
• Excess Body Fat
• Tumor
• Cyst

As your body gets rid of the accumulated waste, healing effects often accompany the accelerated elimination from your skin, liver, kidneys, and lungs.
You will then experience any of the following for a short period:

• Body Odor
• Bad Breath
• Fatigue
• Diarrhea
• Headaches

Don't worry, these are merely healing manifestations. It simply means that your body is in the process of getting rid of the saturated waste from your system.
This phenomenon also happens especially during a colon cleanse.

Another benefit that you get when you undergo a body detox is that it helps release hormone secretions that stimulate your immune system.
It also promotes a healthy and disease-free body as your body starts to re-balance in about two weeks, more or less.

You will soon notice that your energy levels rise physically, psychologically, and sexually.
Remember, a pound of prevention is definitely worth far more than a ton of cure.


Important: Be safe always. Seek the advice of a qualified physician first before you embark on various ways of doing a body detox.

Breakfasts That Fight Fat

  By EatingWell

Eating a breakfast made with “slow-release” carbohydrates, such as oatmeal or bran cereal, 3 hours before you exercise may help you burn more fat, suggests a recent study in the Journal of Nutrition. Here’s why: in the study eating “slow-release” carbohydrates didn’t spike blood sugar as high as eating refined carbohydrates, such as white toast. In turn, insulin levels didn’t spike as high and because insulin plays a role in signaling your body to store fat, having lower levels may help you burn fat. Not in the mood for oatmeal? Here are some delicious recipes to help you fight fat.

Scandinavian Muesli

Serve this Scandinavian cereal with low-fat yogurt or nonfat milk to start your day off with whole grains and some protein and calcium-rich dairy. You can substitute any combination of chopped dried or fresh fruit for the raisins—apricots, apples, figs, cherries or cranberries would all be delicious. Try walnuts or hazelnuts instead of the almonds if you like. Ground flaxseeds stirred in at the end provide a boost of heart-healthy omega-3s

8 servings, about 1/2 cup each

Active Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 2 1/2 hours (including cooling time)

Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned or quick-cooking (not instant) rolled oats
• 2/3 cup rye flakes, or wheat flakes (see Note)
• 1/3 cup coarsely chopped almonds, (1 3/4 ounces)
• 2 tablespoons flaked coconut, (sweetened or unsweetened)
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of cinnamon
• 1/4 cup flaxseeds, ground (optional; see Tip)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread oats and rye (or wheat) flakes on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Stir in almonds and coconut; bake until the oats are fragrant, about 8 minutes. Turn off the oven. Stir raisins into the muesli.

Microwave honey for 10 seconds in a glass measuring cup. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon; drizzle over the muesli and stir to coat. Return the muesli to the turned-off warm oven and let cool completely, about 2 hours. Stir in flaxseeds, if using.

Tips & Notes

• Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

• Note: Rye or wheat flakes are simply rye or wheat kernels that have been steamed and rolled, oatmeal-style. Look for them in natural-foods stores.
• Tip: Grind flaxseeds in a clean coffee grinder or dry blender just before using.

MY CALORIE KILLER

Okay, we are in the new year and the chances are most of us are feeling a bit of the festive weight. One too many Christmas turkey with it's trimmings and just a bit too food and drinking. To be honest, for those of you who know me personally or have seem photographs of me will be rather surprise to know I have been taking Forever Lean  since I am a size eight. The truth is, I have been taken Forever Lean since last year November not because I am worried about putting on weight. However, as a woman of a certain age our bodies don't function as well us they use to and one needs to be more cautious of what one eats and how one looks after one's body. I believe a healthy body is a healthy soul!  I love my food and at the same time I also love being in good shape physically and as well as having a well balanced healthy eating habit.

What I love about Forever Lean is, as well as being one of the key products of Forever Nutri-Lean Weight Management Programme, it's also a fantastic stand alone healthy supplement which when taken with a balanced diet and exercise will help you reach your desired weight. The best time to take Forever Lean is just before you eat. This doesn't mean you can eat and drink as much you like and watch the pounds melt away. No, of course not! However, for those of us who are looking for some help with our diet; how much better will it feel to have a much safer, natural supplement combined with a nutritionally-balanced eating programme and exercise.

Forever Lean has three key ingredients which helps reduce the body's absorption of fat and carbohydrates:

• The first of these ingredients is a unique, fat-absorbing fibre derived from the cactus plant, opuntia ficus-indica, otherwise known as Indian fig, nopal or prickly pear. Studies have shown that this unique fibre has a very high ability to bind fats, compared to other types of plants.

• The other unique ingredient in Forever Lean is a protein specially derived from the beans of the phaseolus vulgaris plant, otherwise known as white kidney beans. This protein works by slowing the body’s absorption of sugar in the small intestine by temporarily inhibiting the enzyme activity that converts starches into sugar. Together these two revolutionary new ingredients can help you succeed in your quest to reach your ideal weight by helping to block the absorption of some of the fat and carb calories you ingest.

• The third most effective ingredient in Forever Lean is chromium trichloride. Chromium is a very important trace mineral which helps the body’s natural ability to regulate blood sugar by acting as a GTF (glucose tolerance factor) cofactor. This is especially important for normal metabolism.
  To maximise the effectiveness of this supplement however, it is important to remember that you should also incorporate a healthy diet and regular exercise into your overall weight control plan in order to achieve and maintain your weight goal.

• Temporarily inhibits the body’s absorption of calories from sugar

Portion Control Devices

By Carolyn Richardson

We all understand that portion control is the key to reaching our weight loss goals, but many of us don’t know how to successfully manage our portions.  When given big bowls, even nutrition experts fall for bigger portions, as exposed in a study by Brian Wansink published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.  So how do regular Janes and Joes choose the right amount of food to eat at a meal?  The answer is simple: they get help. 

You could opt for the standard advice about normal serving sizes: a portion of meat is a deck of cards and a serving of veggies fits in the palm of two open hands. But if gambling is not your thing, and you’d rather keep your food on your plate, then portion control devices are the answer.  Calorie Count reviewed the following devices to get you set to size up your food and keep your waistline in check. 

Measure Up Bowls

The Measure Up bowls are high-end measuring cups.  They are stylish porcelain bowls that, with lines inside each bowl, tell you how much you are eating.  By knowing how much of a product you should have, these bowls can keep you within your limits without any additional equipment or guess work.  The brand also offers plates that stylishly add details that help you adhere to what many nutritionists suggest for portions served on a plate: half a plate of produce, a quarter plate of whole grains, and a quarter plate of meat-group food.

EZ Weight Plate

The EZ Weight plate tackles portion control from all sides.  Its plate doesn’t come alone, but is packaged with a Food Diary Chart, a formula to calculate your caloric needs, and a list of common food items and the proper portion sizes for each.  The product, designed by a nutritionist and nurse who have worked with diabetes patients, offers a practical solution to meal planning and portion control.

The Balance Plate

The Balance Plate’s simple philosophy, as listed on its website, is to, “…eat, live, and be in balance.” The fitting Yin Yang symbol acts as the guide, along with specific measurements and food categories printed on the plate, to help keep your portions in balance.  The Balance Plate MD goes further than portion control to suggest the best methods for cooking certain foods, and gives specific options for each category of food, which makes determining what to eat easier.  The company also offers place mats that list 10 great tips for eating right when eating out.

The Portion Doctor

The Portion Doctor prescribes several products, including cups, bowls, plates, to-go plates, and a water bottle to keep your food portions accurate.  Similar to the Balance Plate, it outlines on the plate itself the amount of each food group you should have.  With a manual, as well as a line of products specifically for children, The Portion Doctor gives customers a choice as well as an option to get a complete package of tableware that is portion-control friendly.

The Portion Control Plate – Spanish

Last, but not least, The Portion Control Plate, offers a visual of commonly sized items like the aforementioned deck of cards, a computer mouse, and CD to help eaters visualize portion size.  Available in both an English and Spanish version, the colorful plate also comes with a good meal guide that will assist you in planning meals.  Geared toward diabetics like the EZ Weight Plate, it’s appropriate for anyone trying to keep their portions under control.
