Antioxidants and good health

We hear very often about the importance of antioxidants and the role they play in improving our health so I thought I would check the great Wikipedia and US government research sites to see if I could find some good info on the role that antioxidants play in good health and how to get them.
Antioxidants and good health

Antioxidants are present in foods as vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and polyphenols, among others. Many antioxidants are often identified in food by their distinctive colors—the deep red of cherries and of tomatoes; the orange of carrots; the yellow of corn, mangos, and saffron; and the blue-purple of blueberries, blackberries, and grapes. The most well-known components of food with antioxidant activities are vitamins A, C, and E; ß-carotene; the mineral selenium; and more recently, the compound lycopene. target=

Tips To Lose Weight

Are you looking for tips to lose weight? These tips to lose weight fast will help you. Keep in mind, however, that if you want to lose weight and keep it off that you have to change your lifestyle. That means following these tips consistently. It can be difficult to change life-long habits. Starting out is usually the hardest part. Once you develop healthier patterns, they too can become habits!

Tips To Lose Weight



1. Eat Healthier Fats

The latest research on tips to lose weight say that it’s not so much fat itself that is the problem when it comes to health and weight loss, but the kind of fat. In general, it’s a good idea to avoid trans fats, which are found in many junk foods, margarine, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils and baked goods such as cakes, cookies and donuts (you can find healthier, organic versions of these products). target=

5 Healthy Habits

It is time to talk about healthy habits.When you vow to improve your health you don’t have to instantly become a gym-addict or stop eating everything you love. It really comes down to incorporating healthy habits into your daily routine. Here are five habits that will set you off on a new healthy path.

5 Healthy Habits

Health Habit 1 -Drink More Water – Drinking water is the first great healthy habit, will improve your health for so many reasons! For one, if you’re trying to lose weight then it’s a lot easier if you drink water: (a) because it’ll stop you drinking sugary, calorie-laden drinks and (b) because we often mistake dehydration for hunger, causing us to overeat.

Experts recommend that you should be drinking eight glasses of water a day. This may sound difficult, but it really isn’t. Start by getting into the habit of drinking a full glass of water as soon as you wake up in the morning. It’ll help you feel more awake and more hydrated after the long night’s sleep. And it’ll get you off on the right foot for drinking enough water throughout the day. target=

Lutein for Better Eye Healths

Lutein has over the last few years become a very popular supplement and nutrient to improve vision or to actually stop and reduce cataracts. You can not only find Lutein in most multivitamins but also a lot of those green leafy veggies are high in Lutein as well.

Lutein for Better Eye Health

Lutein was found to be concentrated in the macula, a small area of the retina responsible for central vision. The hypothesis for the natural concentration is that lutein helps keep the eyes safe from oxidative stress and the high-energy photons of blue light. Various research studies have shown that a direct relationship exists between lutein intake and pigmentation in the eye Several studies show that an increase in macula pigmentation decreases the risk for eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration target=

More Juicing Stuff

For health-conscious people who seriously want to meet the ideal amount of vegetables and fruits in their diet, the increasingly popular way to achieve this is through juicing. Juicing is the process of squeezing out the juice from vegetables and fruits, separating the juice from the fibrous pulp. All you really need is some fruits, veggies, and a juicer of some kind. The great thing to me with juicing is the idea that you are getting more water in your diet and a whole lot more micronutrients target=

Fit and Firm for Life

Found this Health Benefits of Juicing at fitness tips blog Eating more vegetables and fruits has always been a maxim for healthy eating. Various health studies have consistently correlated vegetables and fruits with lower blood pressure, lower risks of heart disease, stroke and cancer, as well as reduced risks for eye and digestive problems. The USDA recommends from 5 to 13 servings of vegetables and fruits daily in people’s diets. For a person who needs 2,000 calories a day, this would translate to around 4 ½ cups of vegetables and fruits daily, that is, 2 cups of fruits and 2 ½ cups of vegetables, not including potatoes as they are classified under starchy foods. Unfortunately, most Americans consume only around 1 ½ to 3 cups of vegetables and fruits daily. Health Benefits of Juicing target=

Autism and a Dog

I found this great story about how a girl with Autism and a dog can live a great life together and help each other. I hope you find it inspiring. The rest of the article is over at the Chicago Tribune

Joy and Goldie - Great Friends
Joy is an 18-year-old high school senior from Oklahoma who was diagnosed with autism as a 7-year-old. Goldie is her closest friend, a 9-year-old basenji mix who at one point was in a high-kill shelter, on the verge of being euthanized, and who has become a certified therapy and service dog. More, though, she has become the love of Joy's life.

"The way their relationship evolved was better than anyone could have dreamed of," says Liz Newton, president of Basenji Rescue and Transport, a national organization that saves some 300 basenjis a year.

Joy and Goldie are in Rosemont this weekend for the 9th annual BRAT convention, where Joy led an hourlong family presentation Friday. This is the same Joy who, as a child, didn't communicate much verbally, whose condition baffled the experts for years until her autism was diagnosed, and whose episodes of anxiety precluded her family from doing typical family things, such as taking a vacation.

Now she speaks publicly about autism, reads to kids in libraries, visits seniors in nursing homes, takes Advanced Placement classes and drivers ed, travels and is planning on going to college. Last week she -- and Goldie -- went to see "Kung Fu Panda 2."

The reason for this transformation? Goldie.

"She has been everywhere with us; she has done everything," Joy told her audience at the convention. "All she needs is to be on YouTube and we'll conquer the world."

Don't laugh.

"Goldie seems to be the on-ramp to a lot of different things," says Joy's mother, Melinda.

If you know basenjis, you realize how all the more remarkable this is. If you don't know them, a little background is in order: Basenjis are one of the oldest domesticated breeds, originating in Central Africa where they were hunting dogs. Small, powerful and energetic, they can be aloof and stubborn, with minds of their own. An endearing trait is that they don't bark in the common sense, instead employing a unique yodel-like "bar-ooo" vocalization. They're also a handful, generally. As a Dog World magazine article put it several years ago: "Modern basenjis are living antiquities that will make your home their jungle, your furniture their monkey bars, and every walk a safari."

Perfect for an autistic child, right?

"(Goldie's arrival) helped her learn how to express herself," says Newton, who works at a Downstate school for profoundly handicapped children. "Joy was reluctant to speak. Goldie would accept whatever she said. That became very comforting for her."

BRAT is an all-volunteer, 14-year-old organization that rescues basenjis and basenji mixes from bad situations – high-kill shelters, unfit or relinquishing owners, puppy mills and the like -- and gets them into new homes. (To find out more about the breed and to see some of the dogs currently needing homes, go to basenjirescue.org). The group just took in 16 dogs from a Pennsylvania breeder who had to give them up because of a new state law.

Free Fitness Book

Well I decided to make a change to the 10 days of fitness ecourse that I created a couple of years ago and have edited ever since. I have not changed the 10+ days of emails into a shiny new ebook in pdf format.
I am really excited about the prospects for people reading this book and hope it changes you as well.
Get Fit And Lose Weight In 10 Days With this 40 Page eCourse


Free Fitness Book

The big driver for this change was to make sure that people would not just learn how to change their life but also to make the changes necessary.
The new fitness ebook is 40 pages and includes questions for you to answer on each day. A big change and something that you can do still in 10 or 12 days.
This book is not meant to be read as much is it meant to be printed and read, and for you to answer the questions so that you can move ahead in your life.
