Aspeople try to cut down on their carb intake, it should be notedthat not all carbs are created equal.In a nutshell, there are two kinds of carbohydrates, simple andcomplex. Some refer to them as bad and good carbs, fast and slowdigestion carbs and other possibly confusing lingo. Here's thescoop.SIMPLE CARBS are those carbohydrates that are most often havelow nutrient content and have high glycemic index such as whitebread, cookies, pastries, candies, and sodas.

Definitve Proof - Supplements Heal

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:54:47 -0500

No Money in PreventionI have been recommending a wide variety of dietary supplementsto my patients for the past years. Needless to say, this isnot the norm for physicians. The medical establishment as awhole is treatment driven rather the prevention driven. There ismuch more profit in treating illness and disease rather thanpreventing it. As a matter of fact, the healthcare industry,including the American Medical Association AMA, medicalschools, hospitals, research institutions and drugmanufacturers, have made a concerted effort to obfuscate thetruth about health supplements and their intrinsic value. Whatlittle legitimate research and data, detailing the benefits ofsupplementation, that actually reaches the general public isquickly dismissed by the medical community as being"unsubstantiated" or "preliminary." Whenever I relate to acolleague a patient's recovery from a chronic condition bysimply adjusting their diet and prescribing the appropriatehealth supplement...

Should I Buy Fairtrade, Organic Or Local Food?

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 05:43:44 -0500

Again, I find myself torn apart with choices when deciding which is the most ethical, eco friendly andor healthy option when it comes to shopping for food and non-food products.Should I buy food and products that support workers in Third World by buying Fairtrade labelled products even though these goods normally travel thousands of miles from Africa, South America or South East Asia? What if these foods were produced with the use of pesticides and additives? It makes sense then to look for and to buy Fairtrade, organic food to both help the producers in the Third World and fulfil my lifestyle choice to eat healthy and additivepesticide free food. Thankfully, many producers are now wising up to this dilemma by increasingly producing organic and Fairtrade labelled products. I am currently using Fairtrade, organic t-bags at home! Now comes another important question, should I buy Fairly Traded organic sugar from Kenya that has travelled thousands of miles, or should I buy apples grown...

How To Get Your Student Son or Daughter to Eat Healthier Food

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:51:48 -0500

It's that time again. Our "babies" have gone off to University and Student life full of excitement at the prospect of wall to wall freedom and fun! As parents we can only hope they will fit at least SOME studies into their busy student schedule of last night partying and long lie-ins. We have to accept the last thing on their minds for a few weeks is going to be cooking and using the kitchen. With a lot of emphasis being put on "healthy eating" and "healthy lifestyles" just now it's not easy to convince students and young people of its importance. However, you'd be surprised what a tight budget and a little persuasion can do when they are faced with NO BEER MONEY because they have to eat! When my own youngest "flew the nest" last year I tried to find a recipecook book to pack which explained cooking from scratch for someone who hardly knew the difference in a kettle and a saucepan! Well! that's a bit exaggerated but you know what I mean! I couldn't really find what I wanted so ...

That's right, WHO.WHO has a connection with CODEX and the HPB. They are officiallyknown as the United NationsWorld Health OrganizationCODEXAlimentarius Nutrition Code Commission. This Commission meetsevery two years with stakeholders in the industry.By virtue of the fact that the natural health product industryand the public do not have representation at CODEX meetings,CODEX can be considered the largest threat to our health choicesin today's modern world. Why? Simply because CODEX hasunilateral capability and biased authority to control thestandards for the health industry and its products.The media has also been shielded from the truth behin...
