Those of us who had always continued to indulge in occasional chocolate treats can stop feeling guilty and now easily justify our cravings.

Foods Today Have Much Less Nutrition Than In The Past!
Many of us think that we are eating healthy, although there is no doubt that Americans eat some unhealthy junk foods. An alarming new study published in the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis reveals that Americans are getting nearly one-third of their calories from junk foods.
But even if we are trying to eat as healthy as we can, the foods that we think are healthy are often far less nutritious than they used to be. It is no coincidence that the quality of healthy ...
Are You Malnourished?
According to the dictionary “malnourished” means not being provided with adequate nourishment. The first thing that usually comes to mind when the word malnourished is used is the images we have seen of starving children in Africa and other third world countries. But are you aware that at the majority of Americans are malnourished?
Is it possible that we can be malnourished while eating a full plate of food? Absolutely! Malnourishment is without doubt a leading factor in a...
Is Marine Phytoplankton A Superfood?
Our soil is rapidly becoming depleted of its valuable minerals and especially trace minerals, which affect our food supply and ultimately our health. Added to this is the tendency we have to eat fast and prepared foods on the run, and we have a nutritional crisis going on. This can be seen by the poor quality of health found in most developed nations. We can take a vitamin pill, but even if some of it is absorbed, it still doesn’t cover the vast amount of missing nutrients in...

The Keys To Healthy Weight Loss And Wellness
WHAT TO EAT
KEY #1 Eat lots of Organic Vegetables and Fruits!
Veggies and fruits are low in calories, provide filling fiber, vitamins and minerals, and protect your health in many ways. Organic produce has superior nutrition without the insecticides and poisons found in ordinary produce. Eat as much of your produce raw as you can. Cooked or frozen is acceptable, but stay away from canned. Naturally fermented (lacto-fermented) vegetables, such as sauerkraut and kimchee, ar...
Product Review -- The Jen Fe Fat Diet Patches From Nexagen
When I first heard about the Jen Fe Fat Loss Diet Patches from Nexagen, I was skeptical. I don't believe in miracle weight loss cures and short-cuts. I believe in healthy weight loss by lifestyle changes. And I know that there are lots of diet scams and useless diet aid out there, giving false hope and wasting people's time and hard earned money.
But people all around me who had tried unsucessfully to lose weight and change to a healthier lifestyle and diet, were suddenly ...
What To Do When You Just Can't Lose Weight
I know what it's like to be stuck. I lost a little weight and then I stopped. I had about 25-30 lbs. to go and nothing was happening. I was exercising, eating healthy and no more weight loss. Here is how I was able to lose the rest of the weight I wanted to. You can do it too!
1. Rethink your diet.
It is time to stop dieting and cutting calories. Avoid quick fix fad diets. You usually end up gaining more weight when it is over than you weighed when you started. Your goal ...
Diet Patches-- Do They Really Work For Weight Loss?
With the obesity epidemic that is going on today, a diet patch seems like it could be a miracle cure.
A diet patch is a small self-adhesive square something like a bandage that you place somewhere on your body that is supposed to help you melt the pounds off by suppressing the appetite and increasing the metabolism. Often the ingredients are the same as those found in weight loss pills, but the ingredients in the patch enter the body through the skin.
Sticking on a diet...

Not All Fats Are Bad
Fats have been unfairly lumped together as being all bad for too long. Fat doesn't necessarily cause disease, and can actually cause a role in its prevention. The truth is that some fats are very bad for us and some fats are actually very good for us.
Time has shown us that diets that restrict all fats fail in terms of weight loss. Since the end of World War II, Americans have been told that they need to restrict saturated fat in their diets. So we switched to margarine fr...

Mother Was Right
Eat Your Fruits and Vegetables. It is almost impossible to get too much of these foods in your diet. They are full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients, as well as high in complex carbohydrates. And fruits and vegetables are an important source of fiber, as well. Even the much maligned potato, eaten baked with the skin on, is full of vitamins C and B6, potassium, and nearly 5 grams of fiber!
When eaten raw, the enzymes that most vegetables and fruits cont...
What Is The Best Exercise For Weight Loss?
It is a common misconception that aerobic exercise tones and firms muscles. Actually it accomplishes very little toning and firming. Resistance exercise (weight training) is where real toning and firming of muscles occurs.
Doing both aerobics and weight training is the optimal way to lose more fat and gain more muscle. If you are trying to lose weight, studies show that weight loss increases by 56 percent with aerobic and strength exercises combined.
Muscle may weigh m...
