Magnesium is Necessary for Optimum Health

3 March, 2010 (05:57) | Nutrition | By: Neil Butterfield

It is well known that minerals are vital to maintaining good health. Most people make sure to get enough calcium and iron. There are other less well-known minerals that have a tremendous impact on well-being. Magnesium is one such mineral. Sadly, 61% of adults do not meet the US RDA for magnesium. Receiving the health benefits of magnesium can be as simple as taking a magnesium supplement.

Magnesium is best known for its role in preventing and reversing osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weak and brittle. Magnesium assists the body absorb and use calcium. It also affects the various hormones in the body that influence bone density and calcium absorption. Getting plenty of magnesium helps increase bone density but helping the body utilize calcium more efficiently. Excess calcium can migrate into the muscles, leading to cramps and pain. It can also move into the kidneys where it solidifies forming kidney stones. Getting adequate magnesium makes sure that more of this calcium is used and may help prevent kidney stones.

Magnesium also plays a role in the regulation of blood pressure and may help prevent hypertension. Doctors believe this is because magnesium relaxes the smooth muscle tissue responsible for dilating the arteries. By relaxing this muscle, magnesium may help prevent high blood pressure. It also seems to work alongside potassium in regulating the blood pressure.

Magnesium deficiency may also be a contributing factor in type 2 or adult-onset diabetes. Magnesium is an important element in the metabolism of carbohydrates. A deficiency of magnesium can lead to a condition called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is when the enzyme responsible for regulating blood sugar no longer works as efficiently. It takes the much more insulin to lower the blood sugar in this case. Insulin resistance eventually can lead to type 2 diabetes. By getting plenty of magnesium, the body’s ability to break down and utilize carbohydrates will be improved and this may help prevent diabetes later on.

Blood pressure and blood sugar both affect cardiovascular health. It seems to reason then that magnesium would help ensure good cardiovascular health. Irregular heart rhythm can be caused by a lack of sufficient magnesium. Magnesium also stops abnormal blood clots from forming in the heart. Research has shown that patients recovering from strokes or heart attacks can be helped by using magnesium supplements. Magnesium may also prevent stroke and heart attacks in the first place.

Many of us do not get adequate amounts of magnesium in our diet. Magnesium is a crucial mineral that affects a number of important functions. A magnesium supplement is a great way to ensure that you get enough magnesium to maintain optimum health. It is generally recommended to take twice as much magnesium as calcium. A liquid supplement will also be beneficial because liquid minerals are more readily absorbed from the digestive tract. This makes more the magnesium available to the body. Don’t be part of the 61% who are deficient in magnesium. Use a magnesium supplement to protect your precious health.

How Juicing Can Boost Your Childrens Health

17 February, 2010 (05:58) | Nutrition | By: Paul Marks

Many people make New Year’s resolutions, and I was no different this year. I decided to focus on my family’s and especially children’s health. However, you do not need to wait until New Year to make changes, you can set a date any time of the year to make a fresh start.

This year, my main focus was to increase my kids’ consumption of fruit and vegetables. No easy task, but an important one, especially over winter. The nutritional boost can help protect against colds and other viruses. I wanted them to eat more fresh, preferably organic, produce from the grocery store. In their fresh form, fruit and vegetables contain a huge amount of vitamins and minerals.

If you you knew my kids, whom I am sure are like many, this was not going to be easy. I did however find a solution, in the form of juicing. Not only does freshly squeezed juice contain so many nutritious benefits, the different combinations you can make prevents them from getting bored and, in fact, wanting more.

The following is some of the main benefits for juicing for kids:

1. I have found that involving the kids in the making ot the juice is a fun event and a great way to bond. They can stand on a chair and help you push all the fruit and vegetables through the machine. Not only do they enjoy it but they appreciate the drink more and will drink it with no fuss. Clean up is simple as well. taking only about ten minutes.

2. A lot of children are not big veggie eaters, especially if they are anything like mine. Juicing provides the perfect solution for getting them to eat a wide range of different veggies in their raw fresh state. So they are getting more benefits than if the vegetables were cooked. This makes everyone in the home happier.

3. If your children start to eat more fresh fruit juice you will find they will quickly go off sweet sodas. So not only do they get the benefits from the juice they reduce their intake of sugar, chemicals and additives. These can all contribute to childhood obesity and many illnesses later in life. It will also save you money on buying these expensive drinks as well.

If you have made or set any goals for your family this year, then make their health a priority and in particular look at juicing. It is great fun, that your children can be involved in and will provide them with many health benefits for years to come.

Baby Allergies – 3 Common Symptoms That Can Be Caused by Food

13 February, 2010 (08:34) | Food | By: Tess Rainey

This article will discuss baby allergies and 3 common symptoms that certain foods can cause. If you suffer from any of the below symptoms, you may not know that these symptoms might be caused by having a hidden food allergy.

1. Eczema: Itchy, dry skin isn’t usually associated with having a problem with a certain food. Yet this common skin problem may very well be happening due to a hidden food allergy to something like wheat or dairy.

You can discover whether or not eczema is being caused due to this simply by eliminating and reintroducing foods and keeping track of how you feel. It may be possible to cure eczema by then staying away from a particular food.

2. Asthma: Asthma can also be caused by eating a food that your system doesn’t tolerate well. It can be somewhat difficult to determine which food is causing the problem, but allergy testing or food elimination diets can help you figure it out so you know which foods to stay away from.

You might even be able to stop taking allergy medications and/or stop using an inhaler by removing the food that is causing the asthma in the first place. Discuss this with your doctor before you do so.

3. Sinusitis: Suffering from a stuffy nose isn’t usually connected to an allergy to a food like dairy. Usually allergens outside of the body are the reasons people think they are suffering, but the truth is a hidden food allergy can cause the same symptoms. Remove a food that is causing your problems and your symptoms will usually clear up within a few days or weeks of eliminating that food.

This article discussed baby allergies and 3 common symptoms that can be caused by food. Eczema, asthma and even sinusitis can be directly linked to problems with a particular food or foods. Even headaches can be caused by having an allergy to a certain food like wheat, dairy and more. Hidden food allergies are actually very common, so if your baby is suffering from any of the above symptoms, it might be happening due to an allergy to something in their diet.

Want to know more?

Tess Rainey, a mother of two, has created a website that can help you find a cure for eczema and even cure baby allergies. Her website, BabyEczema.ParentMeltingPot.com, has information regarding milk allergies in babies as well as baby formula allergies.

Most Fish Oil Capsules In The US Are Illegal In Canada And The UK!

13 February, 2010 (08:33) | Nutrition | By: Brittany Wallace

Canada has the strictest health supplement standards in the world, so their requirements for fish oil products are very stringent. In fact, the vast majority of fish oil supplements in the US are prohibited in Canada! Canada isn’t the only one, as Sweden and Denmark have also banned these omega-3, and the UK and Norway will soon follow suit. Why? The answer has to do with how bioavailable the omega 3 fatty acids are, or how easily your body absorbs them and makes use of them. The explanation may be more scientific than you care for, but I will make it easy to understand.

The reason fish oil supplements are so beneficial for our bodies is because they contain omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are fats that are actually good for the body, so much so that the body needs them to function well. The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish naturally exist as triglycerides. Each omega-3 molecule features three fatty acids that are attached to an alcohol base molecule, glycerol. Don’t worry about this kind of triglyceride, since they’re actually good for you and not the kind your doctor worries about.

All fish oils must be purified due to the harsh reality of high levels of toxic contamination in the oceans, and thus fish. Many fish oil producers use a molecular distillation process to achieve high levels of purity. However, the omega-3s that originally came as triglycerides then become converted into a new molecule, called an ethyl ester (or EE). Another alcohol base, ethanol, replaces the glycerol alcohol base in triglycerides.

Why the concern? It shouldn’t matter which alcohol bases are used, right? Actually, there is quite a difference that has caused several countries prohibit its sale! It’s actually the case that EE-based fish oils are much harder for our bodies to absorb when compared to the more natural TG-based fish oils. In fact, research has shown that TG fish oil has a 300% higher rate of absorption by the body, which means that EE oils are only 1/3 as absorbable as TG! But that’s not the end of the problems. The omega-3s in EE fish oil are absorbed and broken down for usage much more slowly than TG omega-3, sometimes 50 times more slowly! For the reasons mentioned, this Ethyl Ester fish oil is illegal in Canada and other countries. However, it is completely legal to sell EE in the US.

It appears to be a catch-22. If we aim to avoid consuming toxic contamination, it seems inevitable that we must take a fish oil supplement that the body can barely make use of, right? Think twice! EE can definitely be converted back into TG, which is how purified oils are available in Canada. But this certainly begs the question: If triglyceride-based omega-3 is superior to EE-based, why don’t fish oil manufacturers in the US create TG omega-3 fish oils? Higher costs, of course! It costs about 30% more to convert EE back into TG, and since most US consumers don’t know the difference, most US manufacturers don’t bother to pay the additional fees.

Furthermore, very few of them actually reveal that their fish oils are ethyl esters, so it’s extremely hard to tell what they contain. Because most fish oil supplements are EE in the United States, you can safely assume that a supplement is EE unless the product indications that it’s a TG. There are two fish oil brands available for purchase in the US that I can recommend because they’re both TG-based and certified by the International Fish Oil Standards program; they are Nordic Naturals and See Yourself Well.

Trigylceride-based omega-3s are far superior to the majority of omega-3 products being sold, according to some pretty convincing research. If you’re not taking fish oil that’s TG-based, you might want to replace it with one that is to be sure that you’re getting the best fish oil product for your health.

Recommended Body Building Supplements

14 January, 2010 (07:28) | Food | By: Ralph Staytun

There are many bodybuilding supplements including proteins and amino acids, mineral replacement products, prohormones, testosterone boosters. These are usually taken by body builders and sports persons in order to assist with performance, building muscle or even to accelerate fat loss.

Do you really need supplements though?

Yes. Generally Body building supplements are necessary if you want to gain bigger muscles faster.

This is because various supplements have their own benefits and they work together complementing each other to support muscle mass gain. You will probably not be getting enough of them through your normal meals and that is the primary reason why you need supplementation.

What supplements do you need?

1. Protein Supplements: the most important for muscle growth

Protein helps you gain muscles. It is the one supplement every bodybuilder uses. Typically you need 1 gram of protein for every pound of your bodyweight per day to faster gain bigger muscles. Note: This is a lot of protein, more than most people will get from their meals alone

Kinds of protein

Amino acids and Branched chain amino:

Although you can supplement individual amino acids for most people a complete protein powder is sufficient. Protein which is consumed metabolizes into amino acids. If you do wish to try individual Amino Acids the ones bodybuilders prefer most commonly are leucine, isoleucine and valine. These branched chain amino acids are assumed to promote resistance to muscle breakdown.

Soy protein. This is a naturally occurring complete protein. Avoided by some as it may sometime exhibit estrogenic activity. Egg protein is often preferred as a complete protein. Or Casein, another richest protein source of the amino acid glutamine. Plus as it contains casomorphine it releases amino acids at regular intervals.

Protein powders are available for supplement shop and from many online from stores such as Bulk Nutrition. As stated they the most essential part in your routine for building muscles, after all muscles are primarily made of protein. Protein also helps us in repairing and growth of muscles.

In addition to protein you may wish to try:

2. Creatine Supplements – this can significantly increase muscle volume. Creatine will also raise your energy levels so that your workouts are more intensive – and this provides for greater muscle gain

3. Glutamine – a non-essential amino acid, which makes up to 60% of the other amino acids in the muscles. Glutamine helps in your muscle recovery after your workouts and also prevents muscle lost due to muscle catabolism.

4. Multi Vitamins / Minerals Supplement – an active person need many vitamins and minerals. They also assist in recovery as some vitamins and minerals are antioxidants. They remove free radicals generated after your muscles are stressed out and damaged during a gym workout.

The Acai Berry at its Beginning

28 December, 2009 (05:02) | Nutrition | By: Brittany Koxlauger

Both the acai palm and the acai berry are native to the swamps and floodplains that grow in the regions of Central and South America. The acai fruit fits its translation absolutely and means “fruit that cries or expels water”. In the indigenous tribes of Brazil, the acai berry formed a considerable chunk of the eating habits. However, the latest surge in worldwide need for this berry have also led to the promotion of the palm which was not so prevalent previously.

Although the acai berries look a lot like grapes, they have a lesser amount of pulp and are a great deal smaller than grapes. They are green or dark purple in color, depending on species and maturity, and drape in bunches of 500 to 900 fruit. The seed is very significant and takes up nearly 80% of the volume of the entire fruit and is covered in a exceptionally slim layer of pulp. The berry is thought to be a food by itself and is taken salty or sweet depending on what has been mixed with it and as per resident as well as personal preferences. The pulp and juice obtained from it are served in a variety of ways all across Brazil, Peru, Belize and other countries in the region; with granola, mixed with ice cream, in liqueur, etc. Because of these inventive uses, the acai berry has grown in demand. This growth is also due in part to the recent marketing promotion as a dietary enhancement.

Even if marketers promote the acai berry as a wonder fruit with high fiber content, capable of producing improved libido, heart health, skin appearance, enhanced digestion, heightened energy levels, reduced cholesterol, etc., there have been no independent scientific studies confirming any of these claims. A lot of individuals have complained to authorities of absolute scams perpetrated by acai berry product manufacturers as well as retailers and of not getting any refunds for rejecting the product during the free trial period. If you are a potential customer, it would be wise to evaluate your options cautiously before making a ultimate decision about purchasing this product or not. Taken on the whole, the acai berry is strictly average as compared to other fruit in terms of nutritional content, anti – oxidant levels, fundamental vitamin content, etc.

Whatever little scientific studies have been conducted has revealed the berry in some of the forms mentioned in the preceding paragraph works well as a contrast agent in MRI scans. It is also a stable natural coloring agent and tests have revealed that its use may bring about a reduction in the proliferation of experimental leukemia cells in the laboratory.

Now that the plant is being cultivated, ample quantities of the seeds are set aside aside for planting in new groves or replenish damaged or destroyed tress. The seeds are regularly ground up to make food for pigs and consist of part of organic soil used at some stage in planting.

For your health you need to use today’s best nutritional food. You’ll gain tremendous health benefits from taking acai berry products daily will be tremendous. Your body will become nutritionally balanced, strengthen your immune system with its antioxidants and you’ll have more energy.
