The Advantages of Organic Foods

Posted on 03/27/2011 by Cheryl Hanson

The debate about the advantages of organic foods has been terminated. According to the results of the latest organic food research, organic foods more nutritious than ordinary foods and also may lengthen of age and prevent disease.

Have 50% more antioxidants

According to a study funded by the European Union, organic fruits and vegetables have 50% more antioxidants, which believe by the experts can reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. Organic foods contain more vitamins and minerals such as iron and zinc. According to another new research, organic foods is more able to fight against cancer and people who eat organic foods are able to increases the body’s immune, sleep better, and lighter weight than who are consume non-organic foods.

The flavor is more delicious


Organic fruits and vegetables have better flavor than non-organic. That is why many famous restaurants use organic products. Currently, most of the fruits and vegetables have modified to look nice and durable. Strawberries at the supermarket may look fresh, but the strawberries flavor has faded. The conclusion is the fresh organic fruit has a very good taste.

Safer for your baby and child


The principal advantage of organic foods most felt by your baby. On average 200 babies born with substances that contain toxins and carcinogens in the body. When reach the ages of two years, most of the toxins levels reach the lethal limit. If your child feeding with organic food, will reduce the amount of carcinogens in their blood up to 1 / 6 part than if you give them non-organic foods. The result is can reduce the possibility attacked by a variety of significant diseases. Therefore, it is very important for infants and children to consume organic food.

Radiation


Did you ever wonder why in the supermarket organic fruits and vegetables decay faster or wither? The reason is because most of the food in the berries rays (radiation). Radiation aims to kill bacteria and preserve food. But also change the molecular structure and vitality of the food. Several methods of radiation uses radioactive materials, the others uses lots of electrons energy, or X-rays. I do not know your opinion, but I prefer to choose my food that I consume is pure and free radiation. So, one of the benefits of organic foods is still a life force.

Genetic engineering is kept secret

Organic food store does not sell genetically engineered foods. Genetically engineered foods could cause allergic and lowered immune system.

Healthy Animals

Meat, fish and organic chicken is healthier for you. The organic livestock do not use hazardous chemicals, growth hormones or antibiotics. Pesticides in non-organic farming not only affect the animals that eat this food. Pesticides accumulate in animal tissue (mainly in fat tissue). The animals that are on top of the food chain will have the highest levels of these chemicals.  One of the advantages of organic livestock is treating their animals better. For them the welfare of animals is a priority. As the results these animals become healthier.

Environmentally friendly


The fact speak that the organic food is very good for the environment. Conventional farming methods cause of soil erosion and use dangerous pesticides that will disappear only after centuries. Think of DDT, although seem harmless but very bad for your health. Although these pesticides have been banned for several years, but the fact remains, DDT found almost in all of water, humans and animals in the world.  One of the benefits of organic foods is with buy organic foods can provide a positive impact to the environments, animals and humans who live in it.

My name is Rangga Cipta Diputra from Indonesia. Recently I am so worry about this planet (Earth) due to global warming. There are so many provide information about Organic Foods, but I hope my article’s useful for everyone.

Posted on 02/20/2011 by Cheryl Hanson

Medical Reasons to Change your Lifestyle

Posted on 02/13/2011 by Cheryl Hanson

The best reason by far, to lose weight, and become the thin person you know you are, is that you will be healthier in the long run.  The fact is, human beings were never meant to eat as many chemicals and preservatives as we eat today.  It is not easy for our bodies to keep up with the toxins.  The result that we gain weight, is a symptom of a much larger problem, we are putting our lives at risk with each unhealthy bite.

Scare Tactics Will Not Work

If you are finding your lifestyle of fast food, and preserved food difficult to manage and control, you are at a new doorway, and it will be important for you to step through.  Here are some ways to change your mindset, as the biggest hurdle is not just buying the right food, eating the right food, and not eating the wrong foods, but having the mind to make it happen.

Here are some great ways to move your mind forward into a new and powerful mindset.

Educate Yourself

Each week, there are many reputable medical studies that come out to help the public make good nutritional choices.  The reflection and  information presented in these studies, can be sometimes hard to understand, and sometimes they are biased towards a particular lobby group.  If you are to believe the studies that come out each week, on nutrition, they are often put together to motivate a clinical trend towards low fat, towards corn based products with less sodium, or towards a particular diet trend.

It will be important to follow the medical clinical studies that are presented each week, and adjust your thinking towards these studies, but do it with some caution.  You know that staying away from chemicals and preservatives are a key motivator to becoming healthy and thin.  You know that if you can not understand an ingredient on a package, chances are it will hurt your weight loss initiatives.  If you follow these solid truths, any medical community papers, should be reflective of this information.

It can be very powerful to keep up on the trends, and see if they are going to be a benefit to you.  It is an objective and scientific mind that will lead you further on this path, and you will be more educated on your health.

Stay true to Yourself

The next step you can take to become even more powerful in your ability to be the healthy eater in life, is keep your grocery store shopping frequent, and fresh.  When you eat too much frozen veggie and fruit combos, you are going to have a harder time finding satiation. It makes sense to pour through new recipes, and pull out the ingredients, and find the healthy options that make a connection to your healthy diet.

What this means, is you are always going to be tempted to eat quick fast food, but do not let your motivation slip.  If you save that fast food trip for another day, you will be so happy that you went to the grocery store instead.  When you skip the heavy salad dressing, you will have more energy later in the day.  When you skip soda for water or tea, you are going to see the pounds drop faster and quicker, and you will be more in line to continue the path you are on.

Keep on the path, and do not lose your motivation to become healthy.  It is a challenge sometimes to follow the healthy lifestyle, especially in a busy life, but always have back-up raw nuts available for those times you are not around a great healthy food choice.  Choose raw cheese and cold cuts always over a hamburger.  Skip the provided dressing, as it is really bad for you. Find the strength to say no, often and more frequently than you did before.

Your strength will be so valuable to you.  This is the same strength that will keep you away from the cholesterol medicines, and the heart disease of your future.  It will keep you away from stroke and cancer risk.  It will empower you to get out there, and enjoy your life more.  You will be opening a new door.

American Pastimes and Activity

Posted on 02/07/2011 by Cheryl Hanson

Silly sign huh?  I love it, it is just like some kind of tired attempt to sell the largest quantity of stuff that they have for sale.  Buy a dozen, it screams!

Donuts are Dangerous

Not only is this sign telling you to take time to relax, but to do it with food. That is not a pure American pastime, but, the kind of food is.  In other parts of the world, food is regarded as an honor, a privilege and a true devotion to life.

The food we eat, really does become us.  We are fat and overweight when we eat chemicals, toxins, and fat that is saturated with chemicals and toxins.  When we eat natural items, without sodium and without over chemically ordered sugars and starches, we find true health and success.  It is a terrible cycle of pain and tragedy, and I am so glad you are willing to learn why!

Begin a New Life of Empowerment

The American food culture begins in childhood with fast food, sugar, starch and chemical flavorings.  We become adjusted to less color in our diet, less taste, and more fat, sugar, and starch.  It is the progression of our lives down a scary path.  What ends up happening, is we are sad, depressed as adults, overweight, and unhealthy.

We take a pill to become happy again, sit around and eat more of the same terrible shelf life food that we were raised on.  We eat until we feel full, which becomes more food that we really need, and we never feel full.  It is because we are missing so much, so many vitamins and minerals.  So, we take a multi-vitamin.

The food industry makes frozen meals to help us cope with our stressful lives. It creates sodium diet plans, and sticks them in the freezer.  Steps away, are the answers, the green leafy veggies, the fruits and raw nuts, the pure oils and fats that provide the bricks of nutrition.  It seems so complicated, and it really is confusing.  We buy the frozen food.

Then, we end up having an major health issue, that causes real concern.  We have a heart attack, a stroke, or we end up suffering the slow pain of diabetes.  Our kidneys fail, and we go to dialysis.  The cycle continues, with lots of expensive health treatments, and unreal symptomatic solutions, to actual problems that all point back to the beginning days of nutrition.

Be a Rebel, and Eat the Fresh Stuff

If you are still wondering what this has to do with your diet, well, pretty much everything.  If you walk around the outside of your grocery store, you will find most of your nutrition.  If you stay away from the frozen food meals, you are doing well.  If you eat only one frozen food, veggies and fruits, you are doing well.  If you give up dangerous chemicals and only eat one ingredient items, you are such a rebel.

Get the message out!  I do want you to buck the system, take the corn producers head-on, and let the world know you have the power.  Your power is your purchase.  Buy the things that save you, not set you up for failure!

Losing Weight Is Like Taking a Journey

Posted on 02/03/2011 by Cheryl Hanson

If you are getting ready to jump ship, and go on a cruise, hit the beach, or find a great break in a warm spot, you know the process you are going through!  It is a matter of finding the deals online, working with a travel agent, and then figuring out what dates will work for your work and your family.

Whew!  Did I really want to go on vacation?  Sometimes all the details, like getting someone to watch the dog, turn the paper off, get someone to water the plants, take care of all the projects and meetings at work, interview that new person before they take another job, and find your passport, is just too much!

But, once you are there, and the hand you are holding is that of your loved one, and you can feel the breeze on your face, and enjoy….you wonder why you waited.  What was the hassle?  What was the hold-up?  Why did I wait?

The beach is so enjoyable, the sun so warm, and you are really enjoying that cold drink and the lapping water at your feet.  Who cares about what time it is, and where you should be, this is living!

So, here you are.  Sitting at your desk, reading my post, wondering what this has to do with food and your diet.  Everything!  Your process to the day when you are thin, is like the day at the beach.  You will wonder, why did I wait so long?  It is amazing to be so happy, feel so good, feel great each and every day!  You are really happy, and you can not remember all the steps that led you there.  That is human nature, and it really takes time to get to a place of success.  Your steps there, are painful.  You will want to stop, but do not lose sight of the positive gains you will have once you get there.

Early on, when you eat healthier, you miss the crap food.  You may have had a love affair with something like donuts.  Once you give them up, and you must give them up, you will really be amazed at how sad you will feel.  It is a step that takes some emotional detachment.  You will just have to move on.  Do not let your emotions rule your actions.  Take control, and do not feel deprived.  Your success ahead, at feeling thin, and being happy is so much more than a donut.

It is your self respect, your new life ahead that you should be envisioning.  Your steps to get there are going to be hard.  No doubt about it.

Do not drill yourself backward with simple excuses, bad food choices, and past indiscretions.  You can find yourself on the beach!  It is only a matter of time, and dedication.

Now, go get that bikini, that motorcyle brochure, or some great new motivators that will drive you to the beach.  It is important that you keep the end goal in mind, because, you need it to lead you forward.  No excuses will get you there, only persistence and dedication to your diet.
