Healthy Trans Fats vs. Unhealthy Trans Fats Revealed

I’m going to talk about something today that most of you have probably never heard…that there is a distinction between good trans fats and bad trans fats. There is some evidence that the good trans can help you with fat loss, muscle building, and even cancer prevention, while the bad trans fats have been shown to cause heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and the general blubbering of your body.

I’m sure most of you have heard all of the ruckus in the news over the last few years about just how bad man-made trans fats are for your health. If you’ve been a reader of my newsletter and my “Truth about Six Pack Abs” e-book program, then you definitely know my opinion that these substances are some of the most evil food additives of all and are found in the vast majority of all processed foods and fast foods on the market today. In my opinion, man-made trans fats are right up there with smoking in terms of their degree of danger to your health. After all, they are one of THE MAIN factors for the explosion of heart disease since approximately the 1950’s. Continue reading “Healthy Trans Fats vs. Unhealthy Trans Fats Revealed”

The Secret Ingredient to a Healthy Life

While in college studying nutrition, my friend heard from a teacher that it is easier for a person to change their religion than to change their eating habits.

But necessity is the mother of invention. When my dad got sick and was hospitalized for cancer, I started researching to learn how to protect ourselves and heal from cancer. While watching “A Delicate Balance,” on Vimeo I heard nutritional researcher T. Colin Campbell describe the results from the largest study ever done on nutrition and cancer as detailed in his book, the “The China Study.”

A friend had given me the book years before but it had been a deal-breaker since it advocated a vegan diet, which meant giving up all animal foods including vegetarian food like cheese and eggs. But in the fight for my dad’s life I was willing to do what it took so I read the book and couldn’t put it down. My first thought upon finishing it was “knowledge is power.” Continue reading “The Secret Ingredient to a Healthy Life”

Superfood Splendor for Your Blender

The term “superfood” has been thrown around recently to describe many edible items that may not necessarily fit the bill. An unfortunate example of this occurred on a well know street where a big yellow bird and disgruntled trash dweller have occasionally been spotted. Yes, sunny day, sweeping the clouds away, on my way to where the air is sweet, can you tell me how to get, how to get to Superfood Street…not exactly. Four new characters have recently moved into apartment B12 on Sesame Street: broccoli, banana, whole wheat hamburger bun, and block of cheese. All of them qualify as food, but two are not particularly super. While Mr. Broccoli, sporting the green afro and bleeding vitamin C, is a legit superfood, and his buddy Mr. Banana is considered a healthy food, Whole Wheat Hamburger Man and Block of Cheese Guy should not have been put on the lease. These two cats need to find their own little efficiency down Unhealthy Lane somewhere.

Healthy Diet for Hemorrhoids Prevention

Following a healthy diet for hemorrhoids prevention is not only great for colon and digestive health, but astounding for one’s entire body inside and out. People that eat a healthy diet feel fantastic inside while their outer appearance looks radiant. It will improve your overall quality of life.

Unhealthy fatty junk food and processed foods that lack nutritional value play a major role in poor colon and digestive health. Eating a high-fight and cholesterol diet could be setting you up for hemorrhoids to appear in or around the rectum and anus. This is condition people want to avoid.

Hemorrhoids develop as inflamed growths caused by a swollen vein or group of swollen veins located in and around the anal cavity.

You Don’t Need Food Supplements to Stay Healthy

Are you taking food supplements? Why?

If you answer “To stay healthy,” then you are off the mark.

I take Kirkland’s Mature Multi because my daughter insists that I should (and pays for it, too). Otherwise, I would go with Dr. Donald McCormick, Ph.D. and Emory University professor emeritus of biochemistry who said, “A lot of money is wasted in providing unnecessary supplements to millions of people who don’t need them.”

This is after Emory University’s study showing that practically half of people 65 and above are taking supplements aside from the daily nutrition they get from the food they eat. Continue reading “You Don’t Need Food Supplements to Stay Healthy”

The Only Reason We Are Over Weight Is Because We Overeat

If you have been following me for a while you would know that I always describe “Natural Eating” as being not about what you eat but how you eat. Today I wanted to discuss why we eat and why so many people are overweight.

In my opinion the only reason we are overweight is because we overeat. We overeat because we are eating for the wrong reasons. The only time our body actually wants food is when it is hungry. Most people have lost the ability to know whether they are physically hungry or emotionally.

The reasons we eat other than for physical nourishment are:

· Emotional reasons, ie: boredom, loneliness, anger, sadness, stress, depression or disappointment.

· To keep our emotions inside ourselves instead of facing them.

How to Lose Weight With a Foreman Grill

If President Obama made me his food czar, I would require everyone in the country to purchase a George Foreman grill. Besides making ole George Foreman a billionaire, it would trim inches from your waist and make you the envy of every Weight Watchers client. This fat zapping machine cooks up just about any hunk of meat in mere minutes and serves up some very tasty and healthy food.

The reason I love this machine in the first place is because I’m basically a lazy man. I bought my first Foreman grill just because all the commercials were saying you could cook a weeks worth of chicken in under 10 minutes. “This is great!” I thought, cause I could just throw chicken on the grill and have a whole weeks worth and be done with it. The reason I got fat in the first place was because I was too busy or lazy to cook, so I wound up eating out a few times a day. So I threw that chicken on the grill and after a minute or so, I noticed that this thick liquid was getting on my counter. In all my haste, I forgot to put the fat catcher under the grill!
