Declining nutritional value in fruits and vegetables concern researchers

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Declining nutritional value in fruits and vegetables has been a concern of researchers for many years. The debate raged on about the benefits and drawbacks of modern farming techniques.

Data presented by researchers from the Department of Soil Sciences at the University ofWisconsin–Madison shows that while these great advances in crop yield have occurred in the last 50 years nutrient content has been under siege and declining. Similarly, a review of data published by the USDA’s ARC Nutrient Data Laboratory shows “a sharp decline in the minerals, vitamins and other nutrients in foods since the last comprehensive survey”, about 20 years ago.

Analysis of the mineral content of select produce comparing 1963 data and 1999 data showed significant drops in mineral content… Read More

Greater Availability Versus Less Value
It is true that in the modern world of the industrial nation’s fruit and vegetable availability is at an all time high. If we want it, it’s there. On the other hand despite this increased availability fruit and vegetable consumption has not increased in the population.Indeed in many population sub-groups it has declined.

When this knowledge is coupled to the reported declines in nutrient levels in foods it has many healthcare providers, scientists, researchers and government officials looking for answers to how we can hope to sustain the nutritional value and balance of our foods while needing to produce more and more from the same soils to feed an ever-growing population. So far the path ahead is uncertain at best.

All Natural Vitamins and Minerals

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Natural vitamins are found only in living things, that is, plants and animals. Your body, with a few exceptions, can’t manufacture vitamins. They must be supplied in your food or in dietary supplements but supplements can’t replace food,especially fruits and vegetables which provide thousands of substances, some of which have well-known functions, and some whose roles in the human body are not yet understood or recognized.

Vitamins and minerals … …
* reduce your risk of getting a stroke or heart attack!

* strengthen your nails!

* improve your hair condition, strength and growth by providing certain essential nutrients to the hair follicle!

* beautify your skin by keeping it smooth, soft and disease-free!

* provide essential compounds that are necessary for growth, health, normal metabolism and physical well-being! Without them, you would die!

* promote normal growth and development!

* maintain bone density and strength!

* regulate blood clotting!

* help in the function of nerves and muscles, including regulating a
normal heart beat!

When it comes to choosing a healthy diet for their children, many parents don’t realize the important role that beverages play. For example, fruit flavored drinks and soft drinks are not a substitute for real fruit. Many of these drinks only contain 10% real fruit juice. The very best drinks are made from whole fruit and you can make great fruity healthy drinks at home.

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.
