Diet And Nutrition News You Can Use

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

When we hear the word nutrition, we often think of healthy foods. But healthy foods are really part of the diet. Individual cells can only benefit from good nutrition if the foods in the diet are broken down into building blocks small enough to absorb.

These nutritional building blocks must then be distributed throughout the body, absorbed by cells, and metabolized, with crucial nutrients assimilated into the cellular machinery and waste products eliminated.

In other words, diet is what we eat, but nutrition is what our cells and tissues actually receive.

THE SIX STAGES OF NUTRITION

Nutrients pass through six separate and distinct stages as our body works to support nutrition in each cell. Each of these stages must operate efficiently to attain optimum nutrition for the entire body. Even a slight breakdown in one of the stages could reduce our chances for optimal health… To download our free report- “THE SIX STAGES OF NUTRITION”, CLICK HERE

Dietary Supplements Needed For Optimal health and wellness

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

As scientists continue to suggest optimal nutrient intakes, the gap between ideal and actual intakes will widen. In many cases the Optimal Daily Intake will be several times the current Recommended Dietary Allowance , and the only possible means of attaining these levels will be supplements.In other words, supplementation can give your body what it needs to survive and thrive!

While one person refuses to eat green vegetables, another will prefer foods heavy in fat, and yet another may consume only a very small amount of protein. Our individual metabolism also determines the benefits we derive from food.Age, sex, physical condition, and activity levels directly affect the body’s need for nutrients and its ability to use them.

No two people are alike in their nutritional needs. Members of the same family, eating the same meals, will derive different benefits from the foods served. Our personal tastes dominate much of what we consume.

Many scientists believe that these differences may play a large part in explaining why some people complain of tired and sluggish while others remain vital and active. Certain aspects of your lifestyle can increase nutrient demands.

For instance, physically active people may need more antioxidants than sedentary individuals. So, too, might people who are exposed to pollution on a daily basis, who consume foods laden with fat or chemical additives, or who are under mental stress.

Alcohol, medication, food additives, and water contaminants can also increase the need for certian nutrients. Smokers may benefit from more vitamin C, and coffee drinkers
may want to take more B-vitamins. Dieters, on the other hand, may need more vitamin E, as avoiding fat means missing out on some of the richest sources of this vitamin.

And if they eat products made with “fake fats” such as olestra, they may need to
supplement with vitamins A, D, E, K, and carotenoids, as artificial fats may hinder the body’s utilization of these lipidsoluble nutrients.

Nutritional supplementation has two goals:

1. Providing nutrients in amounts sufficient to prevent or correct deficiency symptoms.

2. Providing nutrients in amounts necessary for supporting optimal health.

Supplementation can go a long way toward filling nutritional gaps created by suboptimal diets and impacting your quality of life. CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE

Shocking Evidence Of Nutrient Depletion In Foods

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Shocking evidence of Nutrient depletion in the food we consume was recently confirmed in a report published by Dr. David Thomas, a primary healthcare practitioner and independent researcher who looked at the difference between UK government published tables for nutrient content published in 1940 and again in 2002. The comparison was eye-opening.

It showed that the iron content of 15 different varieties of meat had decreased 47%. Dairy products had shown similar falls; a 60% drop in iron and up to 90% drop in copper.

Further Consequences Of Nutrient Depletion In Plants
In a report published by the UK’s Mental Health Foundation entitled “Feeding Minds” researchers conclude that changes in the way we produce food have reduced the amount of essential fats, vitamins and minerals consumed.

They point beyond the foods we consume to the foods we feed the animals we consume. In particular,the way we have changed the diet of food animals has altered not just what they eat, but what we eat as well. In many cases it’s changed their body fat composition, something that has driven the decline in omega-3 fatty acids in our diets… Read More

Decades Of Research Or Catchy Current “News” Stories? YOU DECIDE

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Recent news stories have attempted to minimize the importance of vitamin and mineral supplements (“The Vitamin Trap,” Mark Moyad, MD, Best Life, www.msn.com). Some articles have even suggested that using vitamin supplements can be dangerous (“Heavy Multivitamin Use May Raise Prostate Cancer Risk,” Ed Edelson, HealthDay Reporter, www.msn.com).These reports are short and sweet, but they don’t tell the whole story, and a longer look at typical headline articles is necessary to determine whether the risk of not supplementing our diets is worth the possible harm.

For several decades, scientific research and clinical studies have proven the benefits of healthy eating and the importance of including key nutritional components in our diets. On a regular basis, we hear from scientists, medical doctors, and other experts about the critical need to improve our diets…Read More

Bad Diets May Breed Deadlier Viruses

Bad diets may breed deadlier viruses says chilling new evidence presented by researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill suggests that poor nutrition leads to mutations of some viruses and creates more dangerous forms.

Mutations that create more dangerous forms of the influenza virus and may contribute to newly virulent outbreaks of viral epidemics ranging from the common cold to AIDS and Ebola may be, in part, caused by deficiencies of certain nutrients.

Deficiencies of selenium allowed the human influenza virus to mutate into more virulent forms in mice, and a similar mutation is likely to occur in people, according to a report in the FASEB Journal, published by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. “Once the mutations have occurred, even mice with normal nutrition are more susceptible to the newly virulent strain,” explained one of the researchers involved in the study.

The researchers stressed that proper nutrition not only influences the health of an individual, it can ultimately influence the health of society in general.

Scientists push to increase whole grain foods in diet

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Scientists are pushing to increase whole grain foods in our diet because nutritional deficiencies causes over eating and we all know that over-eating causes obesity which lead to all kinds of health problems.So said researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.. Read More

Whole grains provide critical nutrients that are not available from other food sources. In addition to providing key nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber, whole grains are also a valuable source of lipids and sterols, the energygiving substances that have a direct influence on cellular health and efficiency.

For many people who are overweight the simple fact that they have become overweight due to poor nutrition and over eating results in many instances of vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

By simply supplementing the diet with vitamins and minerals in the correct quantities this will help to reduce those deficiencies and that alone can assist in reducing the need to eat copious quantities of food due to the constant feeling of hunger.

There is another problem that faces people who are trying to lose weight and that is the fact that many of these diet and weight loss programs create their own deficiencies in vitamins and minerals by not supplying suitable amounts of food to sustain the persons good health while trying to help them lose weight.

Any diet that leaves you constantly feeling hungry is lacking and more often than not it will also be lacking in your body’s need for vitamins and minerals.

Unless the diet has been prepared with the specialist help of dietitians who have a comprehensive knowledge of the bodies need for all the various vitamins and minerals then the chances of you succeeding on a diet will be minimal and this is one of the biggest reasons why many diets are a failure.

It is not so much the person’s willpower to make it work as the fact that the body is crying out for its needs and they aren’t being met with the food that has been allowed on that particular weight-loss program.

If you’re on a diet and you find that you are constantly hungry or craving particular foods then it will be well worthwhile supplementing that diet with a nutritional supplement that will give you your recommended daily requirements of vitamins and minerals.

You might find that a nutritional supplement taken daily is all you need to succeed at weight control,health and wellness.
