| The Power of Positive Drinking: 9 of the World's Healthiest Juices and Their Benefits
Pomegranate Juice
This juice that seems to be
showing up on shelves everywhere has been proven to have some amazing disease
fighting properties. High in
antioxidants, pomegranate juice has been shown to destroy cancer cells (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 54: 980-985, 2006). It has also been effective in promoting good cardiovascular
health. In one pilot study, 19
patients with atherosclerosis (clogged arteries) showed a 30% decrease in plaque after drinking 100% pomegranate juice
daily. A 2007 University of California
study reports that pomegranate juice may slow the growth of prostate cancer
tumors. |
Building Self-Discipline
Why does it seem like every time you commit to changing a
bad habit, something happens that tests just how committed you are? You start a diet, and then you get a call
from a friend who wants to go to your favorite restaurant. Or sometimes you promise yourself you are
going to immediately start on an assignment that has to get done but you end up
procrastinating until the very last minute?
These types of things are common and one of the major reasons why they
occur to all of us is due to the lack of self-discipline. |
Eat This Now! The 20 Healthiest Foods You Shouldn’t Live
Without
Acai
This dark
Brazilian superberry is found to have one of the highest antioxidant levels of
any fruit in the world. Dark colored berries have been known for
their health benefits because of their Anthocynins (Vascular pigments) which
give the acai its color. These belong to a group of molecules
called flavonoids. Well, twelve additional flavonoids were found
according to the Portuguese book
“Açaí: Preparo, Composição e Melhoramento de Conservação" (Schauss
et al. 2006a). It also contains a rich amount of phytosterol which
may reduce blood cholesterol. In a 2006 University of Florida
study, the Acai berry destroyed cultured human cancer cells.
Acai is increasing in popularity and can now be found in smoothies,
juices, and other products. But in order to get the most from the
berry, it is best to buy a product that has been freeze-dried and prepared
naturally. |
I Wouldn't Eat That If I Were You:
15 Unhealth Restaurant Foods That You Should Never Eat Again
Health
foods are gaining popularity but nothing is as convenient, affordable,
or tastier than the salted, high fat foods we eat every day. We
all know that the foods we eat help determine our weight and energy
level. It is no secret that foods that are high in fat,
cholesterol, and sodium are the main causes of many chronic diseases
such as obesity, diabetes, and cancer. I enjoy eating healthy and
exercising but I do from time to time indulge in restaurant foods that
I know aren’t good for me.
