Fat Blockers, The Key To Eating More And Still Shedding Pounds!

Fat Blockers, The Real Truth Of Losing Weight and Keeping It Off!

Researchers have identified tons of foods that actually block the absorption of fat and calories from foods you eat! These fat blockers foods seem to burn fat faster than you can eat it. They don’t actually “burn fat”, they stop your system from absorbing it in the first place!

Fat Blockers, The Key To Eating More And Still Shedding Pounds!

What is this wonderful thing that blocks fat?

Soluble Fiber!

The main thing our processed foods have been stripped of. Fiber has almost been eliminated from our diets, why is America getting fatter? Simple! Not enough fiber!. Diets have increased in carbohydrates and animal and vegetable fats and decreased in fiber.

Two Types of Fiber! Know the Difference!

Both types of fiber go through your system without being absorbed, then they act totally different.
Soluble Fiber: When digested, creates a sticky substance that lines the stomach and intestines and produces the fat blocking from cholesteroland carbohydrates that are absorbed into the system and that turn into fat. Because it slows the absorption of nutrients, you feel fuller longer and are less likely to snack.

Foods that are High in Fat Blocking soluble fiber:

Oat Bran #1
avocado
Figs, dried
Prunes
Barley
Wheat Germ
Beans: black, butter, kidney, navy
Sweet Potatoes

These are only a few of the great fat blockers, look for more high soluble fiber foods that you like and watch the weight fall off.

Insoluble fiber: The miraculous cancer fighting sponges.
Insoluble fiber is incredibly absorbate, it soaks up many times it weight in water and toxins before leaving the system. The best benefit is it soaks up toxins and expedites them from the system before the body has time to absorb them and do damage.

Foods that are High in system cleansing insoluble fiber:

All bran
Raisin bran
Oatmeal
Apple
Figs
Barley
Lentils
Pinto beans

By adding these fat blockers to your meal plans you will absorb far fewer fat and calories and feel fuller longer, not to mention decreasing your risks of variuos cancers.

2010 - The Year Without Orange Juice?

2010-01-18T07:06:00.000-08:00

2010 - The Year Without Orange Juice?

Reports are coming in that as much as 40% of

the world's orange
juice supply may be destroyed thanks to the

global deep freeze we
are experiencing. (necn.com)

Will 2010 be remembered as the year without

oranges? Hard to say.
It does sound, however, like there'll be less of

them around. And
those you do see may cost a lot more than they

do now. A lot more.

Some people are wondering how they'll survive.

Will you get scurvy?
Where will you get your vitamin C?

First off, less orange juice on the planet is

probably a good
thing....

Do You Need Barley grass in your Diet?

Need Barley grass in your Diet?

Barley Grass is one
of the best superfoods you can get.

Super
foods or "green foods" refer to a group of nutrient dense foods that
include young cereal grasses, wheat grasses, and barley
grasses, also my favorite, Blue Green Algae. Nothing compares
to the dense nutrient content of super foods.

Barley
is one of the first grains cultivated by humans. Its use dates back to
7000 BC. Harvest reports on barley go back to 2440 BC, and the Chinese
were cropping barley around 2000 BC. Since scriptural times,
Asian and Middle Eastern cultures reportedly included wheat
and barley grass plants in their diets.

Studies have
shown that barley grass juice and barley grass powders have beneficial
effects on:

cholesterol

blood
pressure

immune response

cancer
prevention

bacteria

bad breath

arthritis

Be
sure the product you get is from young plants, look for some guarantee
on the label, because as the plants age they turn into grain that is
made into flour, which is a very unhealthy pro-inflammatory food .

Barley
grass juice and barley grass powders typical profiles contain:

Vitamins
B1, B2, B6, B12

pantothenic acid

frolic
acid

potassium

calcium

iron

phosphorus

magnesium

chlorophyll

amino
acids

protein

fiber

For
super health and vitality, your diet needs barley grass! It is one of
the cheapest products out there, it can be found everywhere, local
grocery stores, and health food outlets everywhere. One of the first
benefits of barley grass I noticed was that I no longer was
taking afternoon naps, my stamina and endurance increased.

You
owe to yourself to try it!

To your better
health!! The Ponch

Herbal healing

The most powerful thing I have ever sampled is blue green algae. The vitality boost was almost immediate, I felt 10 years younger! A few tablets were given to me by a fellow worker. Generally when I get off work I am played out, that night I was filled with energy&vigour, not to mention my lack of usual aches and painful sensations.

The search had commenced for this algae stuff! It seems its sold everyplace, from health food stores to local grocery stores. Bought a bottle from the local vitamin store, great health and energy carried on.

This blue green algae absorbs sunlight and turns it into vitamins, mineral and amino acids which make proteins that create energy. Talk about natural! Blue-green alga is used as an herbal remedy for gastrointestinal problems, to help fight stress and fatigue. Its also used as a detoxifier for alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine(and illegal substances).

One day I stumbled upon a phenomenal discovery! While at a produce market glancing over the clearance rack, I found a bottle of liquified blue-green algae on sale, so I thought I would give it a try. The next day at work I did a eye dropper full as the directions stated, and BAM! for the 12 hours I was superman! My productiveness nearly doubled not only physically but mentally! After coming home I had energy to start this blog, play with the kids and harass my three dogs.

Found the companys web site, Her is a link to it:

http://www.klamathbluegreen.com/comd.php?af=891484

Click on products, go down the page till you see dropper bottles, It’s called ENERGY POWER, with ,Klamath Blue Green Algae, Siberian, Prince, Tienchi Ginseng and Tang Shen, Vegetable Glycerin, and Electrolytes.

This stuff is great, ordered more things from the site, hope there as good as the liquid! Keep ya posted for more great health! ThePonch

Multivitamins – A Ticket to Daily health and fitness

2008-12-03T17:20:00.000-08:00

MULTIVITAMIN DONT FORGET!

The world’s population is now wanting and interested in looking after their health and fitness and in keeping tune with their well-being. It is important to note that this awareness is progressively contributing to the creation of several health and fitness supplements to benefit both the adults and the young ones. Dietary and vitamin supplements have constantly proven their worth to health and fitness conscious individuals.

An excellent daily multivitamin supplement does not only develop your general bodily functions but also improves your mental and physical condition and well being. Occasionally specification is needed in appropriately supplementing nutrients to deal with any individual needs. An example would be in heart disease patients, they would have to take in CoQ10 in preventing the said condition. Alzheimer’s disease can be effectively prevented by a regular combination of Vitamin C and E intake.

Multivitamin supplements necessarily include all the vitamins and nutrients essential for recommended daily dosage. Multivitamin supplements may also be formulated to meet the needs of individual conditions like pregnancy and specific age brackets. It is a well settled fact that multivitamins in liquid form are more efficient than the ordinary pill forms. This is due to the fact that the body can easily absorb liquid nutrients five times more than ordinary multivitamins in tablet or capsule form.

Basically, the body needs 13 essential vitamins to function properly. In regulating the crucial performance of the body, it has to have vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K, B12, and the 7 B-complex vitamins. Majority of these vitamins are obtained by our body through the food that we eat. The danger of illness or even mortality is in the deficiency of some of the essential vitamins. This is where vitamin supplementation comes in. It counteracts the illness caused by such deficiency. With this fact, it is very unlikely for someone to refuse vitamin supplementation on a daily basis. So the question now is, why is it necessary for individuals to take multivitamins when majority of our daily diet can provide us with the basic nutrients we need? It may not be compulsory, but everyone can profit from daily multivitamins.

As previously mentioned, the clear benefit of daily intake of multivitamins it to prevent vitamin/nutrient deficiency. Some personal circumstances may increase dietary needs. Pregnant women, during their first trimester, are recommended by their doctors to take multivitamins. This does not only provide the mothers with sufficient nutrition but also proper vitamins to benefit the unborn child inside their womb. Taking multivitamins everyday reduces the risk of transmitting malnutrition from a pregnant woman to her unborn baby. Other conditions such as old age, alcoholism, smoking, and exposure to excessive pollution have long-term detrimental effects to the body system which can be successfully counteracted by multivitamins.

Stress is also one risk factor which needs serious supplementation that multivitamins can provide. Especially with people who have so much to do and have a hard time in keeping up with their health and fitness needs, multivitamins are a must to keep them always on the go without any health and fitness complications in the long run. Stress formulations benefit both your mental ability and daily endurance. Aside from the mentioned benefits, daily multivitamins also minimize the risk of cancer or any cardiovascular disease.

SUPERFOODS

2008-11-16T17:35:00.000-08:00

WHY SUPERFOODS?

Recent dietary research has uncovered 14 different nutrient-dense foods that time and again promote good overall health. Coined “superfoods,” they tend to have fewer calories, higher levels of vitamins and minerals, and many disease-fighting antioxidants.
Beans (legumes), berries (especially blueberries), broccoli, green tea, nuts (especially walnuts), oranges, pumpkin, salmon. soy, spinach, tomatoes, turkey, whole grains and oats, and yogurt can all help stop and even reverse diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and some forms of cancer. And where one might have an effect on a certain part of the body, it can also affect the health of other body functions and performance, since the whole body is connected. With these 14 foods as the base of a balanced, solid diet, weight loss gimmicks and other fly-by-night programs can become a thing of the past in your life. Conversely, the ill-effects of an unbalanced diet are several and varied. Low energy levels, mood swings, tired all the time, weight change, uncomfortable with body are just a few signs that your diet is unbalanced. An unbalanced diet can cause problems with maintenance of body tissues, growth and development, brain and nervous system function, as well as problems with bone and muscle systems.
Symptoms of malnutrition include lack of energy, irritability, a weakened immune system leading to frequent colds or allergies, and mineral depletion that can trigger a variety of health concerns including anemia.
And since the body is connected, realizing that an unhealthy body will result in an unhealthy spirit only makes sense. When we nourish our body with these superfoods and complement them with other nutrient-dense and healthy fresh foods, our spirit will be vitalized and healthy as a direct result.
Many modern diets based on prepackaged convenience foods are sorely lacking in many vitamins and minerals, which can affect our mental capacities as well, and cause irritability, confusion, and the feeling of ‘being in a fog’ all the time.
Superfoods can be the basis of a sound, healthy, nutritious solution to curing many of these ailments and more.

Ginger root for healing

2008-11-14T13:36:00.000-08:00

GINGER ROOT FOR HEALING

Ginger Root Heals Ailments

The vitamin ginger root offers you a lot of benefits, including the ability to treat headaches and common colds. One of the most common uses of ginger root is the treat an upset stomach, something we all know and hate. Normally in the form of flat ginger ale and crackers, this vitamin could fix even the most upset of stomachs - and fast to boot.

For the last few decades, ancient civilizations have used the vitamin in both cooking form and medicine form. Although the technology back then wasn’t close to what it is today, the ancient civilizations knew that ginger root would help prevent ailments ranging from motion sickness to athlete’s foot. With ginger root having anti-inflammatory properties, it can also make the pain of rheumatoid arthritis less intense. Women that drink ginger tea have said that it helps them eliminate menstrual cramps completely.

What many people don’t know, is the fact that ginger root isn’t really classified as a root, but instead an underground stem. Even though it is a very useful vitamin and supplement, it is harvested year round just like the hawthorne berry. The harvests, which are obtained roughly five months or so after being planted, are used in the creation of products such as candied ginger and ginger syrup. Harvests that are obtained later can be sold as fresh ginger. The longer the ginger remains in the ground before being harvested, the spicier and hotter it gets.

Keep in mind that not anyone can grow ginger. It takes a special type of soil, which means that it won’t grow anywhere. It is normally grown commercially, in large harvests. Ginger is always in high demand, as it serves a lot of useful purposes. From adding spice to food to healing certain ailments, ginger root is easily one of the best vitamins around.

These days, you can buy ginger in the produce department of many grocery stores. Ginger serves many useful purposes, including baking. It can be used with cookies and breads, or used to spice up your jellies and jams. When you shop for ginger root, you should ensure that the gnarly fist like bulb is smooth, the surface hard to the touch, and the weight being somewhat heavy. If the bulb is hard and light in weight, it won’t be as good.

When it comes to common ailments, ginger root can be great to have around. It can be used with hundreds of cooking recipes, you can use your creative imagination to make even more uses with it as well. Ginger is used in many fine dining restaurants as well, as it tastes great as a dressing on salads. Serving a lot of healthy purposes, ginger root is one of the best selling items on the market - and easily one of the best tasting supplements out there.

Herbs For Better Health

2008-07-19T16:11:00.000-07:00

Herbs are a great way to gain health and vitality back into life. Affordable herbs can be found almost anywhere, as close as the local grocery store. Every element in living plants can be found in the human body. When the elements are replaced the body comes back into balance. When your body is chemically balanced, the brain becomes balanced. Considering the mind controls the body's autonomic functions, when it is out of balance the whole body will follow!

The nutrients and chemicals stored in the plants are easily metabolized by the human body. Herbs also contain minerals and salts that help the body resist disease, strengthen tissues, and improve the nervous system.

To begin balancing the body you must have proper vitamins and minerals, a good multiple vitamin must be taken. Even though the labels state 100% of your daily recommended value, the form that it comes in, the body may only be able to take in 50% of it. Therefore a powerful, natural way to gain vitamins, minerals is through cereal grasses.

Alfalfa (Derived from the arab Al-Fal-Fa meaning father of all foods) is the best bang for the buck! It can be found almost anywhere they sell vitamins and is very cheap. The roots of the alfalfa plant burrow deep into the ground to reach minerals that are inaccessible to most other plants. The alfalfa plant is rich in vitamins A, K, E, B, and D. It is very high in protein and contains phosphorous, iron, potassium, chlorine, sodium, silicon, magnesium, and other trace minerals. There are also eight enzymes that enable food to be assimilated better, I suggest taking it with your multi-vitamin, it will greatly increase the absorption of them.
Reported benefits are, aiding stomach ailments, gas pains, ulcerous conditions, pain and stiffness of arthritis, reduction in water retention, and treating cases of narcotic and alcohol addiction.

My personal experience from taking alfalfa is increased endurance with a great feeling of wellness, I have recommended it to many people and all have agreed with the same effect.

Heres to great health!! Theponch
