Juice from Fruits and Vegetables Provides Nutrients

Many people are juicing their way to better health. The health benefits of eating five portions of fruits and vegetables a day are well known but despite our best efforts, it can be difficult to guarantee that you and your family stick to this all-important number. Finding the time to prepare nutritious meals can be hard with a busy schedule, and today it is more difficult than ever to maintain good health.

Studies have shown that vitamins and minerals are essential for overall health since they help us to ward off disease, increase our vitality and improve our mental performance. And, while there is no substitute for a healthy diet, many people are using juicing as a way to get their fruits and vegetable nutrients.

With the juice from fruits and vegetables containing plenty of healthy nutrients, there is an easier way you can create your own fresh, great tasting vitamin cocktail at home through juicing.

When you make a juice, you aren’t simply making a delicious drink; you are creating the ultimate health tonic packed with vitamins, minerals, the right sugars, the right fats, the right salts, water and amino acids (the building blocks for protein).

Now, the biggest drawback that we have found when juicing is... the cleanup! With so many parts and pieces of 'equipment' to rinse and clean, the task of juicing can be tedious and can get old. But using it once in awhile can be an enjoyable experience and even a nice Spring or Summer treat.

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples and many other fruits, all for health. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients with the water and sugars removed. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Many people are looking at grapefruit juice as an option. But can get what some say is the juice powder - that is, what's left when the sugar and water are removed through a drying process, and you are left with only healthy nutrients. Do you know the juices from which the fruit juice plus blend is made? Apples, oranges, pineapples, cranberries, peaches, cherries, and papaya juice - and that's just the fruit juices! Add the vegetables with carrots, parsley, beets, kale, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, and tomato and you've got the vegetable juice plus product, that is a healthy product that supports your health! It helps you get nutrients you need. When I have fresh fruits and vegetables, I feel good, but I don't always get enough. So the only one way to add more fruits and vegetables is to add more nutrition to my diet plan, weight loss plan, diet. With this supplement, many say it is a concentrated fruit juice powder or vegetable powder, referring to the final Juice Plus+ product that is put into a capsule. Like our Weight loss plan that is a doctor approved diet plan, this is a healthy choice. A diet and weight loss plan that is endorsed by healthy dieters around the world, you can always lose weight, but are you doing it the healthy way? You can also use Medifast to support your weight loss efforts. Their meals are good for this purpose. Oprah's Dr. Mehmet Oz knows that a diet is temporary but a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet plan in place is for good. Even Juice plus+ is made from the juice from an orange and many other fruit juices, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added - that doesn't make sense! Add fountain water without some breville and juice fountain, although if you had a tablespoon of the fruit juice powder, then adding more juice can be a convenient way to get nutrients but more convenient when it's in a capsule. (that may not make sense either!) When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I use juice plus vitamin, and juice nsa plus is a way to get healthy with juice plus vitamin. If you are a distributor juice plus, then the gummies juice plus is juice plus supplement to look into. The juice plus scam that we see does not hold much credence - just a bitter old man that has nothing better to do with his time, but it is a problem.

Weight loss and drug claim to help hypertension

While weight loss and a healthy diet will help hypertension, a weight loss drug is being touted to help as well. A word of caution to anyone with high blood pressure - don't be lured by the marketing of a hypertension drug to help your blood pressure without considering whether or not your diet and lifestyle is the primary cause. The reason for the majority of HBP cases in the US is a diet high in fat and salt and a lack of exercise.

If you are overweight, your heart is going to work harder to pump blood throughout your body. The consequences of this most often leads to high blood pressure. The diastolic pressure is the pressure in your arteries when you are at rest, while systolic is the higher reading that is a messure of the pressure put on the arteries when the heart is beating. Systolic will fluctuate with exercise, among other factors (like being frightened!).

The best step to take when diagnosed with hypertension is to alter your diet and lifestyle. Too many processed foods (most!) contain too much salt, and even the wrong type of salt when present at acceptable levels. Your body is not deficient of Orlistat or any other medication. It is deficient of proper nutrition and exercise, and is being fed unhealthy foods and/or beverages.

Here's more from Science Daily on how diet and weight loss help with reducing blood pressure --

Adults with hypertension may be able to lower their weight and their blood pressure by following a weight-loss diet or using the medication orlistat, according to a meta-analysis of previously published studies. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is responsible for approximately 7 million deaths worldwide each year, according to background information in the article. Lowering blood pressure levels in those with hypertension has been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk, with corresponding decreases in illness and death. "Weight reduction is recommended in major guidelines as an initial intervention in the treatment of hypertensive patients," the authors write. "Among the possible means of reducing body weight are lifestyle modifications and pharmacologic and invasive interventions." read on...

Comment: When it comes to any medical condition, the first place you should look to improve your health is you - your diet, exercise habits, and overall lifestyle. You can manage most conditions just by diet and exercise alone, and if not, at least provide a majority of the benefits you seek to realize.

Diet Plans, Weight Loss Plans - Throw out the Fads

When it comes to weight loss, the public may just be having an awakening to the truth about the flavor of the month diet. Turns out that fad diets are becoming less popular than they once were. Of course, this may be a sign of the fact that there are no fad diets on the market right now that have that dieters' appeal! We hope the first explanation holds more truth, though. The message needs to continue that healthy choices and a healthy diet that is rich with nutrients from fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources is the way to not only weight loss, but a healthy weight and lifestyle. Lifestyle is what it's all about, permanently. As reported overseas, let's hope the same holds true in the US. Here's more from The Independent on the fade of fad --

Celebrities from Beyoncé to Victoria Beckham still swear by them, but for the mass of the British population it seems that the fad diet has lost its allure. Despite soaring obesity rates, research shows that people are turning their backs on so-called miracle diets that promise much but deliver little more than bad breath and short-lived relief in the tight trouser department.

The death of the diet is revealed in a report by Mintel, the market research firm. Sales of quick-fix slimming products have slumped by a third over the past five years to £79m in 2007, while the annual rate of growth in reduced fat, calorie or sugar products has slowed almost to a standstill. Manufacturers have cottoned on to this and are changing how they market diet versions of popular brands. The yogurt maker Muller is to start marketing Muller Light on its contents and taste – "thicker, creamier-tasting and even fruitier" – instead of its diet credentials. read on...

Comment: If you're not getting enough fruits and vegetables in your diet, then chances are your health is not as good as it could/should be.

Try Medifast for assisting your weight loss and diet plan.

Top Reasons for Poor Health and Early Death

From HealthNewsDigest.com --

According to U.S. General Surgeon, heart attacks and strokes are highly preventable. Thus, if more people die from heart disease than from any other illness, we need to give a serious consideration to what we are doing wrong.

In this article you will find the 7 main reasons why we may end up being part of the American Heart Association’s statistics.

1. We smoke.
The risk of dying of a heart attack is about four times higher in people who smoke than in those who don’t smoke. Many of us are under the impression that the major danger from smoking is cancer but that is not quite true; smoking is the major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. In fact, about 40% of deaths caused by cardiovascular disease are due to smoking.

Smoking contributes to heart disease in the following manner:
·Increases blood pressure, a risk for heart attacks and strokes.
·The carcinogen components in tobacco damage the walls of the arteries.
·The carbon monoxide from the burning of the tobacco interferes with the blood capacity to carry oxygen to our heart.
·Smoking causes the narrowing of the blood vessels that carry blood to our legs and arms.

I know that to stop smoking is not a piece of cake but you have to make an effort. If you try, I am confident you’ll succeed. Be strong! Look for professional help to assist you in this task. And don’t get discourage if you have already tried and didn’t make it. Try as many times as you can.

2. We don’t walk.
Over the past 50 years, health professionals have examined the association between physical activity and the risk for heart disease. The findings consistently reveal that people who are physically active have half the risk for heart attacks than people who are not active. Those studies show also that at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, on most days of the week, is sufficient to reduce the risk of heart attack. ˡ

Keep in mind that the heart is a muscle, and like any other muscle in the body, it becomes stronger the more you exercise it. Without exercise, it loses muscle fibers and becomes weak until it is unable to do its job. And the last thing you need is a heart that can’t do its job.

The direct effects of physical activity on heart disease are:
·Makes the heart stronger so it can pump more blood with fewer beats
· Lowers blood pressure by increasing the diameter of the coronary arteries.
· Lowers “LDL”, the bad cholesterol
· Increases “HDL”, the “good” cholesterol
· Decreases triglycerides
· Decreases the risk of diabetes, which is a risk for heart attacks

3. We eat too much saturated fat
There is a reason why health authorities advice us to limit the consumption of saturated fat:
·Saturated fat is the most rigid of all fats and is solid at room temperature. Solid fats are hard to dissolve and can easily get stuck in your arteries.
· Saturated fat causes the liver to overproduce cholesterol. The liver makes about 75 percent of the cholesterol your body needs from internal sources, while the remaining 25 percent comes from food. But when you eat too much saturated fat, your liver keeps producing cholesterol and you end up with much more cholesterol than you need.
Limit saturated fat consumption to less than 10 percent of the total calories ingested per day.

4. We ingest too many foods containing hydrogenated oils or trans fats
Health authorities are concerned that the consumption of trans fats might have contributed to the 20th century epidemic of coronary heart disease.

Hydrogenated oils or trans fats as they are usually called, are produced artificially by inserting molecules of hydrogen in vegetable oils, a process called hydrogenation. Through this process, the oil, which is liquid at room temperature, changes its original form and becomes solid. In other words, it becomes saturated fat. In addition, the unnatural shapes of trans fats cause our cells to become malformed and to malfunction. And that includes the cells of the heart and the arteries.

Read the food label and avoid products which contain trans fats or hydrogenated fats. Example of foods that contain these harmful fats are:
·Industrial bakery such as cookies, donuts, croissants, cakes, and the like
· Solid margarine
· Fried fast food

5. We don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables
We know that people who consume plant foods regularly have a lower incidence of heart disease than those who do not include them in their diet.

Fruits and vegetables contain phytochemicals, nonnutritive chemicals found in plant foods that protect their host plants from infections and microbial invasions. Recently, however, we have learned that phytochemicals are also crucial in protecting humans against many diseases, including heart disease.
Among the functions phytochemicals perform in our bodies are:
· They act as antioxidants
· They keep the walls of small blood vessels healthy
· They make our small blood vessels stronger
· They prevent platelets from becoming sticky and piling up
· They block specific enzymes that raise blood pressure.

Include about 9 portions of fruits and vegetables a day as part of a healthy diet. read the full report...

Low-Calorie Liquid Diet - Is it Safer than Medifast?

A low-calorie liquid diet has been marketed and used by many, by with varying results. The reason is that most people desire solid foods and will not stick with it for more than a couple of days. The body desires foods that have longer transit time - that is, foods that take longer to move through the digestive tract. A liquid diet as you may have guessed, will move as liquid does - quickly.

Yet in severe cases, it may just be the best alternative to bariatric surgery which comes with the obvious risks and dangers. In New Zealand, doctors supervised a severely overweight man while administering a liquid diet for a number of months, only to slowly add back in solid foods. The results were promising in a day when the knife seems to be the quick fix that so many obese patients seek, partly due to the marketing efforsts by the media and doctors alike.

Here is part of the story of how one man lost 47% of his body weight in about a years time --

An extremely low calorie liquid diet can help severely obese people shed almost half their body fat, experts have found. Specialists helped a Victorian man lose more than 70kg in a year by putting him on a strict portion-controlled, calorie-precise diet. Reporting the case in the latest Medical Journal of Australia, endocrinologists from the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital in Melbourne said the 59-year-old man suffered from diabetes and hypertension and weighed 170kg.

The morbidly obese man was given meal replacement formulas for five months, and slowly added in low-fat meals over the following seven months. "Over the 12 months, the patient's weight fell steadily," wrote lead author Priya Sumithran. "At one-year follow-up he had lost 43 per cent of his initial weight." read on...

Genetics - Does Diet Play a Role? Test for Gene Mutations

The subject of genetics and the connection to disease is often discussed, as technologies have advanced to the point of being able to detect gene mutations which may give individuals an idea of what diseases they may be predisposed to. But are we putting the cart before the horse? Does our daily choices and lifestyle habits contribute to possible genetic defects? Afterall, aren't our genes influenced by what we put into our bodies?

There are studies that show a healthy diet may in fact provide for less DNA disruption than an unhealthy diet. With the amount of free radicals drastically increasing over the years from unhealthy foods and environment, it is no wonder genetic defects could be the result. This is just a theory and has not been proven (to this author's knowledge). There are countless companies that now offer at-home tests to determine if you have any genetic defects and therefore higher likelihood of certain conditions or diseases.

Here's more from the Associated Press about the newest at-home test:

Dr. John Kelsoe has spent his career trying to identify the biological roots of bipolar disorder. In December, he announced he had discovered several gene mutations closely tied to the disease, also known as manic depression. Then Kelsoe, a prominent psychiatric geneticist at the University of California, San Diego, did something provocative for the buttoned-down world of academic medical research: He began selling bipolar genetic tests straight to the public over the Internet last month for $399.

His company, La Jolla-based Psynomics, joins a legion of startups racing to exploit the boom in research connecting genetic variations to a host of health conditions. More than 1,000 at-home gene tests have burst onto the market in the past few years. The proliferation of these tests troubles many public health officials, medical ethicists and doctors. The tests receive almost no government oversight, even though many of them are being sold as tools for making serious medical decisions. read more...

Comment: Do yourself a favor and decrease the risk of sickness and disease by improving your diet. Feeding your body the best nutrition you can and working with the "cards" you were dealt, will at least keep an additional factors from contributing to the likelihood of sickness and disease. A healthy diet should consist of more fruits and vegetables, as studies show most people are not getting any where near the minimum recommended daily amount.

A Healthy Diet and Higher Education Increases Longevity

It turns out that not only does a healthy diet assist with supporting good health and preventing disease and therefore longevity, but so does have a higher education. That means that if you have a higher level of eduation - say for instance a Master's Degree - you are more likely to live longer. This could also be interpreted to mean that those who continue to learn and educate themselves, and that would include reading, studying, and being active in problem-solving - things that require some thinking and essentially exercising the brain - have more of a chance of living longer. Other studies have shown that those who remain active in their later years also may live longer, with the presumption that being "active" in turn keeps the mind 'sharp' and 'active'. Here's more on a Harvard Study on the subject as reported by Rose Hoban --

Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others. She says one important factor in people's health is the amount of education they have. In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United States census. These counts of people occur every 10 years. Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades. "We looked at life expectancy at age 25," Meara says.

"How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner? Versus how many years, can you expect to live if you've reached aged 25 and you've gone on to at least some college…" Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years. In 2000, a 25 year old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75. In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990. Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact. read on...

Ill-health costs the British economy over 100 billion pounds ($200.3 billion) a year, more than the entire annual budget of the state-run National Health Service (NHS), according to a report. Carol Black, national director for health and work, said the annual economic cost of sickness absence is equivalent to the entire gross domestic product of Portugal. Benefit costs, additional health costs and foregone taxes make up the bulk of the bill, at more than 60 billion pounds. The rest is made up of the cost of the care given by family and friends, that to employers of having someone absent from work and other associated costs. Black proposed a number of reforms, including replacing outdated doctors' paper-based sick notes with an electronic "fit note", stating what people can do, instead of what they cannot. read on...

Comment: Diet and exercise are important, but there are other factors as well. Can we reach a point of pure health? It's an interesting question to ponder.

Health Spending Exceeded Record $2 Trillion in 2006

From The New York Times --

WASHINGTON — National health spending soared above $2 trillion for the first time in 2006 and has nearly doubled in the last decade, amounting to an average of $7,000 a person, the government reported on Monday. With the advent of a prescription drug benefit in 2006, Medicare spending grew at its fastest pace since 1981, the report said. Private health insurance spending grew at the slowest rate since 1997, and spending on Medicaid, which covers low-income people, declined for the first time since creation of the program in 1965. Over all, the report said, health spending increased 6.7 percent in 2006, slightly faster than in 2005, and now accounts for 16 percent of the total output of good and services, a slightly larger share than in 2005. Introducing the Medicare drug benefit for older Americans and people with disabilities caused changes that rippled through the entire health care sector. Health spending by businesses grew 5.7 percent in 2006, to $496.8 billion, the slowest rate of increase since 1997.

Aaron C. Catlin, an economist at the Health and Human Services Department, said the “deceleration in employer payments for private health insurance” resulted, in part, from the fact that Medicare now subsidized drug costs for many retirees. Employers lobbied for such subsidies when Congress created the benefit. Retail spending on prescription drugs shot up 8.5 percent in 2006, to $216.7 billion, in part because more prescriptions were filled by Medicare beneficiaries, especially those lacking drug coverage in the past. The increase was much greater than the 5.8 percent increase in 2005, but well below the average increase of 13.4 percent a year from 1995 to 2004. Other factors that drove up drug spending included the use of existing drugs for new purposes and the increased use of high-cost biotechnology products, the report said. National health spending first exceeded $1 trillion in 1995. Since then, even when adjusted for inflation, health spending has grown at a rapid clip, increasing 64 percent in 11 years. The data, published in the journal Health Affairs, showed that spending on hospitals, doctors and nursing homes grew more slowly in 2006 than in 2005. But administrative costs increased more than twice as fast.  read on...

Comments: It wasn't that long ago that health care costs were around the 1 Trillion mark - in 1995. To double in 10 years means that, yes in fact, health care costs are ballooning out of control. This should be more of a reflection of the poor health that Americans are experiencing, and while that is true, it is not all that is going on. The advancement of equipment, drugs, and procedures that keep a patient alive longer has to be the brunt of the rise in costs. The unfortunate thing about our health care is that it is not health care at all, but sick care. If we can start with the upcoming generation and start teaching life's lessons at an early age, and instill the habits of healthy living in the early years, then we have a chance of reducing costs in the decades to come, on a per capita basis. In other words, assuming the population continues to grow at the current rate, costs will continue to rise, but can be reduced as a percentage of the total. Start with your own weight loss and diet plan and live healthy. Teach those in your family the importance of a healthy lifestyle for the survival of the generations to come.

The #3 Diet Vice TV Should be Off During Family Meals

If you've been reading the last few blogs, you will see that the theme has been family, and the importance of a close family to the bringing up of a secure, healthy, happy, productive individual. One of the 3 biggest diet vices that have contributed to the overweight and obesity problem in this country and around the world is the television. A diet vice is broadly defined as anything that gets in the way of living at a healthy weight. Specifically, a diet vice can be a food or drink that is consumed on a regular basis that contributes the most calories to a diet and keeps the "dieter" from living at a healthy weight. The three biggest diet vices are soft drinks, fast food, and television - all based on statistics. The amount of soft drinks and fast food consumed per capita supports the conclusion that they are the 2 top diet vices. And, according to statistics, television is the third diet vice that contributes to the number of overweight and obese individuals. In this day, we can add anything that the TV can be used for - all computer games, specifically, not just television shows. The recommendation that The Health & Wellness Institute gives to those who seek to lose weight, is that no TV may be watched (or used for games; hey, even 40 year olds use PlayStation!) until at least 30 minutes of exercise is done. OR, exercise may be done while watching TV - like a treadmill or piece of cardio that may be in front of the TV, or an exercise video.  This puts healthy actions ahead of those that are sedentary, or let's face it, unhealthy considering the quality of so much of the programming these days (I'm not referring to the History Channel here!).  Here's some information given about the importance of turning the TV off during family meals. Without reading the article, you can ascertain that the TV will distract family members from the time that should be used for productive communication, the foundation for healthy relationship among all individuals. And the lessons learned during family meals far exceed any entertainment or history lesson that can be learned from TV. This article comes from Science Daily --

ScienceDaily — September and October mark the start of television’s new fall season as the premieres of new shows and old favorites hit the airwaves. But, University of Minnesota researchers found that watching television while eating family meals may have a negative impact on children’s diets.

School of Public Health Project EAT researchers found that children in families who watched TV while eating meals together had a lower-quality diet than the children of families who ate together, but turned the TV off. Boys watching TV while eating family meals consumed fewer vegetables and grains, and more soft drinks, than those who did not watch TV; girls watching TV ate significantly fewer dark vegetables and more fried food.

Dianne Neumark Sztainer, Ph.D., principal investigator of the Project EAT study, suggests more than one reason for why this occurred. “The television may be influencing the types of foods that adolescents choose to eat because of the advertisements they see. Alternatively, meal situations and foods served within homes where the television is on during meals may be different. Further research is needed to explore our findings,” she said. read on...
