<span style="font-size: large;">Metabolism rate is directly related to weight. Faster metabolism means quicker digestion and faster exchange of substances in cells, which favorably affect body weight regulation. People having a problem with overweight, often have slow metabolism. How to speed your metabolism up and stimulate digestion dynamic? </span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Drink a lot of water</span><br />Studies show that water is a crucial factor in metabolism accelerating. In other words, it is confirmed that consuming only half a liter of water per day significantly increases the intensity of burning calories up to 30 percent.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Take a walk after eating</span><br />Digestion and absorption of nutrients requires some physical activity. The more you are physically active, the more it affects the speed of your metabolism. Starvation has the opposite effect, it slows down metabolism. Your body, lacking in calories, reaches for its reserves stored in muscles, which leads to muscle atrophy.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Eat regularly</span><br />Scientists say that the best daily diet includes combination of three main meals and two smaller meals, like healthy snack, yogurt or some fruit. It is common knowledge that people who eat regularly and moderate are significantly less prone to obesity than those who eat irregularly and unreasonably.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Protein diet</span><br />The body uses more calories to digest protein than carbohydrates and fats. High quality protein, including proteins in white meat, eggs, dairy products and fish, maintain the level of amino acids in the body, important for building and maintaining muscle tissue and burning calories.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Caffeine</span><br />Within the long term study at the prestigious Harvard University more than 19,000 men were tested for 12 years and the results confirmed that men who consumed 200 milligrams of caffeine per day are significantly less prone to obesity, than those who do not consume caffeine at all. Caffeine stimulates the use of energy from fatty tissues, especially in combination with some proper exercise. When it comes to bodybuilding, widespread popularity includes caffeine-based drinks, which also have a positive influence on the breakdown of fatty tissue.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Even though water is considered to be a kind of elixir of life, something without which not a single day can go by, it is not always easy to determine how much water should you drink during the day and use all benefits it provides …<br /><br />Many of us have grown up with the belief that it is necessary to drink eight glasses of water a day in addition to other beverages of choice. Some of the recent references indicated that we no longer have to worry about the necessary amount of water we should drink, and we can simply satisty our thirst with any other drink.</span><br />

<h2>
<br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Other drinks can replace water</span><br />It is most certainly true that clean, refreshing and calorie-free water is the best choice. Studies have also shown that when it comes to hydration, you can use some healthy, fresh fruits or vegetable juices or make some refreshing lemonade. What puts water in the first place are the claims of some people that water also helps dealing with excess weight.<br />To truly verify claims for this type of health support, experts from all over the world gathered to witness the powerful effects of this fluid that nature gave us.</h2>
<h2>
<br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Drink when you are thirsty</span><br />A study published in 2002 in the American Journal of Physiology investigated the reliability and effectiveness of the old recommendation which pointed out how necessary and healthy is to drink 230 milliliters of water eight times a day.<br />After a thorough examination of this claim one of the researchers, Dr. Heinz Valtin, concluded that there was insufficient evidence that healthy people who live in areas with temperate climate and do not practice any complicated daily activities need more water.<br />Dr. Valtin advises average physically healthy people to drink water only when they are thirsty. He also noted that even caffeine drinks are good as additional alternative when it comes to satisfying thirst<span style="background-color: #efefef; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">.</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br />Special rules for people with health problems</span><br />What is important to say about this study is that in 2004 the International Medical Institute gave the public new recommendations which agree with the findings of Dr. Valtin.<br />Namely, the latest recommendations exclude the old routine of drinking eight glasses a day, and present a different way to determine the necessary amount of water which can satisfy our thirst.<br />This recommendations exclude individuals who suffer from certain medical conditions that require fluid intake control, then athletes and individuals who participate in physical activities that last longer or those living in extreme living conditions.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Different values for men and women</span><br />However, in the final report of the IMI it is not clearly established which is the basic amount of water you should drink daily. Still we have to mention that this report outlined some general recommendations based on the research that resulted in the theory of drinking 2 liters a day (about 11 cups of water a day) when it comes to women and 3.70 liters (about 19 glass of water a day) for men.<br /><br />You should keep in mind that these quantities are related to the total water intake – taking in consider both drinks and food. Also, approximately 80 percent of the total fluid intake come from water and other beverages, and we receive the remaining 20 percent from the food we eat.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Quercetin is an flavonoid (plant pigment) commonly found in fruits and vegetables, especially onions, citrus, and apples. Other sources include dark berries, grapes and olive oil. Green tea and red wine have also been pointed out as having notable amounts of quercetin.<br /><br />That’s all great. But, what does it do for us? Well, perhaps the primary benefit of quercetin is that it possesses potent antioxidants. Antioxidants fight against free radicals –- chemically reactive compounds that damage cell membranes and DNA and also cause cell death. In fact, many of the benefits you’ll often hear attributed to antioxidants refer to the the effects associated with quercetin. Let’s take a look at what some of them are.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">1. Supports Normal Respiratory Health</span><br />When your respiratory system is irritated, redness and swelling can result from the release of histamines, and quercetin has been reported to have an antihistamine effect. Lab tests have shown quercetin influences intracellular enzymes and may help inhibit histamine release. This can often provide relief for watery eyes, runny nose, and swelling in the face.<br /><br />Another study compared the effectiveness of quercetin against contact dermatitis and photosensitivity, two conditions that do not respond well to a conventional approach. Researchers found that quercetin is effective at inhibiting redness and is easy to administer. What’s more, quercetin promoted significant improvement in both conditions.</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">2. Supports Cardiovascular Health</span><br />Studies have shown that the consumption of flavonoids, specifically quercetin, offer a two fold benefit (at least) in promoting overall cardiovascular health. First, it encourages blood flow. Secondly, researchers have observed that quercetin’s antioxidant action protects against LDL cholesterol oxidation. This may be beneficial because oxidation causes LDL cholesterol to stick to artery walls. </span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">3. Promotes Balanced Blood Pressure</span><br />In addition to supporting cardiovascular health, quercetin naturally promotes balanced blood pressure. A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, crossover study evaluated the effect of quercetin supplementation and reported that the participants experienced a stabilization in systolic, diastolic and average arterial pressure.</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">4. Offers Protection Against Stress</span><br />When your body is stressed, it produces cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone that produces that “fight or flight” response. Although this is normal, when your stress levels are high and ongoing, cortisol can damage muscle tissue, leading to protein breakdown in the body. Quercetin can fight these effects during times of extended stress as it suppresses the enzyme necessary for cortisol release. </span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">5. Potential for Upper Respiratory Conditions?</span><br />Although the jury is still out, numerous animal studies and lab models have suggested that quercetin may offer a bronchial dilating effect. A 2013 study determined that it inhibited an enzyme that breaks down signaling proteins which produce swelling and airway narrowing. Quercetin caused a relaxation of the airway smooth muscle, leading researchers to suggest it may offer therapeutic solutions for persons suffering from upper respiratory conditions. Hopefully more research will continue to explore this possibility.<br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br />6. Offers Nutritional Support for Overall Health</span><br />Listen, putting good nutrition into your body is one of the best measures you can take to encourage good health. It’s not a guarantee, and some people will still get sick, but it’s a good foundation and fundamental approach. Why should quercetin be part of your approach? Because research has shown that people who consume more fruits and vegetables have a lower risk of some diseases and lab studies have shown that quercetin has a positive benefit against some cancers. Is it a cure? No. Is it something you should check into? I think so.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Supplementing With Quercetin</span><br />Although quercetin offers many benefits and it is all-natural, there are a few health considerations. Large amounts can stress the kidneys, it may also interact with blood thinners, corticosteroids, and aspirin. If you’re taking any of these, it’s probably best to check with your healthcare provider before adding quercetin to the list — especially if you’re taking it in supplement form. Most people, however, should be able to enjoy dietary quercetin (fruits and vegetables) without a problem.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />When we think of nutrient-dense foods, brightly colored fruits and vegetables come to mind. Just because a vegetable is white, however, doesn’t mean it’s devoid of nutritional value—and cauliflower is no exception! Check out below the many benefits you could be reaping from this cruciferous vegetable.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Antioxidants and Vitamins</span><br />Cauliflower is packed with antioxidant-providing vitamins and minerals. This cruciferous vegetable is particularly high in vitamins C and K, as well as folate and magnesium. It also contains antioxidant phytonutrients such as beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, quercetin and more.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Anti-Inflammatory Benefits</span><br />Vitamin K, one phytonutrient found in cauliflower, is well-known for its anti-inflammatory properties. A study from Tufts University published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that high intake of vitamin K decreased levels of 14 inflammatory markers. Cauliflower also contains phytonutrients known as glucosinolates, which can be converted into anti-inflammatory compounds.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Cancer Prevention</span><br />Those same glucosinolates that help cauliflower battle inflammation can also help protect against cancer by inhibiting carcinogens’ ability to damage DNA or by altering hormone activity that can lead to the development of some cancers. Cauliflowers’ antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and detox properties also make it useful in cancer prevention, especially for bladder, breast, colon, prostate and ovarian cancers.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Detox Benefits</span><br />Cauliflower is often seen as a main ingredient in many detox recipes and detox diets. Glucosinolatesin cauliflower can help the body’s natural detoxification processes by activating detox enzymes and helping the body cleanse itself of carcinogens. Additionally, cauliflower contains significant levels of fiber, which can help remove solid waste from the body and keep the flow of toxins moving through and out of the gastrointestinal tract.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Digestive Support</span><br />Cauliflower contains high amounts of fiber—nearly eight grams for every 100 calories. Fiber helps move food easily and quickly through the digestive track. Cauliflower also contains a compound called sulforaphane (derived from glucosinolates) that protects the lining of your stomach by preventing growth of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, which can cause stomach ulcers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">The typical pear season runs from August to October, but with so many varieties of pear, you’re likely to find some variety in season where you are. Pears ripen from the inside out, so to tell if your pear is ready to eat or not, check the neck (skinniest part of the pear) by applying gentle pressure. Along with apples, pears are part of the rose family, and like </span><span style="font-size: large;">apples</span><span style="font-size: large;">, many of the health benefits of pears can be found in the fruit’s skin—meaning for maximum health benefits, eat pears with the skin left on.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Fight Free Radicals</span> <br />Pears are naturally high in vitamins C and K, as well as nutrients such as copper—all of which act as antioxidants to protect our cells from damage from free radicals. One pear contains up to 11 percent of our daily recommended intake of vitamin C and 9.5 percent of our daily recommended intake of copper. Pears are also said to have more nutrients per calorie than calorie per nutrient.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Protect Our Hearts </span><br />Pears are an excellent source of dietary fiber, and fiber is good for the heart. Studies have shown that fiber can lower levels of bad cholesterol by binding to bile salts—which are made from cholesterol—and carrying them out of the body. Eating pears can also reduce risk of stroke by up to 50 percent.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Cancer Prevention </span><br />Pears can also protect us from varying types of cancer. In addition to binding to cholesterol, the fiber in pears can also bind to and help remove cancer-causing chemicals in the colon, thus reducing risk of colon cancer. Studies have also shown that eating fiber-rich fruits such as pears can reduce risk of break cancer by 34 percent in post-menopausal women.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Hypoallergenic Fruit </span><br />Although few studies have been done on the subject, doctors generally consider pears to be a hypoallergenic fruit because they are less likely than other fruits to produce an allergic response when eaten. For this reason, pears are generally considered “safe” and are often one of the first fruits given to infants.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Control Diabetes </span><br />Because they are high in fiber and have a low glycemic index, pears make a smart snack for those with diabetes. The bloodstream slowly absorbs a pear’s carbs (just about 26 grams per pear), preventing a spike in blood sugar and helping to control blood glucose levels. Lightly sweet, pears can also satisfy the sweet tooth in a healthier way than other sweets.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Research continues on the vast health benefits of resveratrol, found in purple or red grapes. Here are some of the amazing healing benefits of resveratrol<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Power Up Your Weight Loss</span><br />Exciting research led by MaryAnne DellaFera, PhD at the University of Georgia found that resveratrol (particularly when combined with soy isoflavones) works on the body in two ways to significantly assist with weight loss efforts: 1) it dramatically reduces cells’ ability to store fat by about 130 percent; and 2) causes fat cells to disintegrate at a rate 246 percent higher than normal.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Protect Your Heart</span><br />In research, resveratrol demonstrated the ability to improve the dilation of blood vessels, which may allow blood to flow more easily through blood vessels. It has also been shown to relax the walls of the blood vessels, making their diameter larger, thereby lowering blood pressure, and allowing a higher volume of blood to flow through all areas of the body, delivering increased oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells. Another study found that just 10 mg of supplementary resveratrol resulted in a dramatic reduction in heart-attack risk factors.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Mop Up Brain Damaging Plaques</span><br />Studies at the University of Switzerland proved resveratrol’s brain-protecting ability. They found that resveratrol mopped up brain-damaging plaques and free radicals, which have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. So powerful is this important nutrient that it has even been referred to as “Reverse-it-all” by many health practitioners.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Improve Brain Power</span><br />In a British study, students given resveratrol increased blood flow to their brains by 200 percent. Scientists believe resveratrol can help speed our mental responses.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Protect Your Skin from Cancer</span><br />In numerous studies, resveratrol has had a positive effect on cancer. Research also shows that resveratrol protects the skin from damaging UVB rays of the sun, thereby protecting it against skin cancer.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Protect Your Body from Radiation</span><br />What’s more, this potent nutrient has even been shown to protect the body against radiation therapy when used as an adjunct to radiation treatment of cancer.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Turn On Your Longevity Gene</span><br />In one study, scientists identified resveratrol as a nutrient that activated the human gene for survival and longevity.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Fight Diabetes</span><br />Prediabetics given resveratrol had a 10 percent drop in blood sugar levels, according to research by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Turn Down Inflammation</span><br />Resveratrol works as an anti-inflammatory, which may be one of the reasons it may be effective for heart disease.<br /><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Supports Muscle Recovery</span><br />As a potent antioxidant, it supports the cells and organs in eliminating uric acid and other toxins from the body, supporting muscle recovery for athletes<br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205409324169343327.post-757042388388008442014-01-27T04:07:00.000-08:002014-01-27T04:07:46.259-08:005 Health Benefits of Tomatoes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Tomatoes are often considered a vegetable, though in actuality they are a citrus fruit. Tomatoes are an incredibly versatile food. They are delicious eaten raw, in salads or on sandwiches, and take on a wonderful sweetness when cooked. Their high acid content makes them a perfect food for canning. Tomatoes are such an important part of the American diet that it’s hard to believe that they were once considered toxic. It wasn’t until the mid 1800’s that they became a staple food in the U.S.<br />One medium whole tomato contains around 22 calories, 0 grams of fat, 5 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 1 gram of protein and 6 milligrams of sodium. It also provides 40 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C, 20 percent of the RDA of vitamin A, 2 percent of the RDA of iron, and 1 percent of the RDA of calcium. Here are some of the health benefits of tomatoes.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a name='more'></a><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">1. Ward off Cancer</span><br />Numerous studies have concluded that the more tomatoes people eat the lower their risks of certain cancers, especially lung, stomach and prostate cancers. A substance called lycopene, which is responsible for tomatoes red color, is thought to be the reason for this cancer protective effect. Processed tomatoes contain even more lycopene than raw ones. The process of cooking breaks down the cell walls, helping to release the lycopene. Eating tomatoes with a little bit of fat, such as olive oil, helps lycopene to be better absorbed by the body.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">2. Prevent DNA Damage</span><br />Tomatoes are high in important antioxidants such as vitamin C and Vitamin A. These vitamins work to fend of DNA damage from free radicals. Consequently, tomatoes may help to ward off age related diseases such as atherosclerosis and diabetes.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">3. Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease</span><br />Tomatoes contain important nutrients, such as niacin, folate and vitamin B6, that have associated with the reduction of heart disease risk. One study found that women who ate 7 to 10 servings of tomato products per week had a 29 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease than women who consumed less than a serving and a half of tomato products each week. Results were even more impressive when the women ate oil-rich tomato products.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">4. Protect Against Thrombosis</span><br />Another study showed that drinking 8 ounces of tomato juice daily reduced platelet aggregation significantly, among study subjects. Those drinking a placebo showed no benefit. It’s important to drink low-sodium tomato juice if you are trying to protect against thrombosis (blood clots in the blood vessel) , as high sodium levels can cause negative effects for this type of disease. </span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #6aa84f;">5. Ward off Inflammation</span><br />A double blind study found that drinking a glass of tomato juice a day can reduce blood levels of TNF-alpha by 34 percent. TNF-alpha causes inflammation. High levels have been found in individuals with most chronic, degenerative diseases such as heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s.</span></h3>
