Cinnamon - The New Superfood?

By Sarah PJ White

Since 2000 BC, Cinnamon has been coveted in China and Egypt and it is even mentioned several times in the Bible. It has been highly treasured as a traditional medicine for thousands of years. Cinnamon is one of the world's oldest known spices, once it was even considered more precious than gold. So, what else is Cinnamon good for?

  1. Cinnamon lowers cholesterol and helps control blood sugar levels. Can be dusted on fruit, cereal or even drinks like coffee or tea! A daily dose is considered to be half a teaspoon - so worth adding to your daily diet.
  2. It contains a natural substance found in plants, called Polyphenals, which has insulin-like effects. It is also said that Cinnamon may help prevent colon cancer, as well as stemming the growth of lymphoma and leukaemia cells. It is currently being studied to see if it can actually reduce blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes.
  3. You can make Cinnamon tea by pouring 250-500ml of hot water over a 1-2 inch stick of cinnamon. Leave it to steep for ten minutes. Don't drink too much though, as taking more than four teaspoons of Cinnamon a day can have serious side effects! Cinnamon tea can be effective against nausea, cramps, indigestion diarrhoea and flatulence.
  4. Cinnamon is available in sticks and powder and is actually the inner bark of the Cinnamon tree.
  5. Cinnamon is also considered an anti-inflammatory, as well as helping to prevent or ease night cramps and period cramps.
  6. Nutritionally, one teaspoon contains Cinnamon contains 28mg calcium, 1mg of iron and 1g of fibre - the calcium and fibre can bind to bile salts and thus help remove them from the body. The body then has to break down cholesterol to in order to make new bile, whilst the fibre prevents the damage some bile salts cause to the colon.
  7. It is an excellent source of manganese which is good for healthy bones, skin and cartilage formation. Cinnamon is also considered an anti-inflammatory which makes it an excellent benefit to arthritis sufferers.
  8. Cinnamon bark contains cinnamaldehyde. This gives Cinnamon the warm flavour and is also a natural blood thinner.
  9. Cinnamon can be used as a natural insect repellent.
  10. In Chinese medicine, it is believed to improve energy, circulation and vitality.

If that isn't enough, sniffing or tasting Cinnamon is said to increase the brains cognitive ability to process tasks. It also inhibits the growth of food borne bacteria, so is a natural alternative to food preservatives.

Top Tips for Avoiding Emotional Eating

By Sally Symonds

Emotional eating can be the single biggest problem for some people trying to lose weight. If you're an emotional eater, here are the ten questions to ask yourself before you indulge next time:

  1. Do I know the difference between physical and emotional hunger? Have you ever been truly physically hungry? The only way to know the difference is to get physically hungry - so set yourself a date and time, and don't eat anything. After a few hours your stomach will start rumbling and feel empty. After a few more hours you should start to feel light headed and a little weak. Now you are physically hungry. Your body can go without food for that length of time without anything bad happening to it, but you need to know the difference between your hungers.
  2. Why do you eat? Emotional eaters eat to celebrate and socialize, as well as to soothe themselves, overcome feelings of anxiety and boredom. Keep a diary for a week, and note what you ate, the time you ate it, and how you felt each time you ate.
  3. How do you feel after you've eaten? Eating to fulfill an emotional need never works, so once you've finished eating, you still feel unfulfilled and in addition, you now feel guilty about what you've just eaten. Eating when you are physically hungry has no emotional context and you feel satisfied. Make a note in your diary about how you feel after you've eaten - satisfied or unfulfilled/guilty.
  4. Do you think about what you're eating when you are eating it? Start to plan your meals, and plan to do nothing but eat during your meal times. By this I mean no watching TV or reading a book while you're eating. Set yourself a place at the table, lay out all you will need for that meal, sit down and savour each bite. Eating while you are doing something else, like watching TV, becomes a mindless exercise with no beginning and no end, so your chances of overeating are so much greater.
  5. How long does it take me to eat? You can not gobble down your food, and savour each bite. And the longer you take to finish your meal, the fuller you will feel. You're sitting down at the table, with your beautiful meal or snack in front of you. Take your time, enjoy each bite. See it, smell it, note the texture, taste it, enjoy it.
  6. Is this the right time to be eating? If you are planning your meals correctly, you should be eating regularly throughout the day. Schedule your meal and snack times into your day, and stick to this schedule until it becomes a habit. Breakfast, mid-morning snack, Lunch, mid-afternoon snack, Dinner. And nothing but glasses of water in between. If you're thinking of eating outside of those times: DON'T DO IT!
  7. What do I really want? You've figured out your feelings, and you know it's not the right time to be eating, so what is it you really want. Is it company you're after? Then call a friend. Are you bored? Go for a walk, or read a book, weed the garden or clean the house. Get away from the pantry and just DO SOMETHING! Anything that does not involve eating.
  8. Do I have a cheat sheet? When you're feeling emotional or bored, it's very hard to come up with ideas to get you away from snacking when your entire being is now focused on that packet of chocolate biscuits in the pantry, calling out your name. Have a cheat sheet close by with a list of feelings and emotions, and what you can do about them: i.e. lonely: call Sarah; bored: walk the dog. Include some chores you never have the time for, like tidying the laundry cupboard. Your cheat sheet should be replacing old/bad habits with new/good ones.
  9. Is a particular food part of the problem? Some emotional eaters, when triggered, go straight to the same food. Banning that food completely will only make you crave it more, but you need to find ways of limiting the quantities you eat. If chocolate is your nemesis, only have chocolate at home in small quantities. It's easier to open a whole slab and then finish it than it is to open a whole bag of individual Freddo Frogs. But do include these as part of your meal plans: a Freddo frog with your mid-morning cup of tea.
  10. Have you rewarded yourself? You have probably been rewarding yourself with food for your whole life. Rewards are good, but rewarding yourself with food is not. Draw up a list of rewards: having a facial, massage, pedicure; going to a movie; buying a new outfit or perfume. Think about what you would really love, and plan to reward yourself in this way.

High Fructose Corn Syrup - Useful Facts You May Not Know

By Kylie Hilderbrandt

High-fructose sugar, more commonly known as corn syrup, is the most widely used sweetener in our homes. It is also present in sodas, fruit drinks and chocolates and various processed foods. It is found in almost all the foods that we can find in the supermarket nowadays.

Although this kind of sugar is considered by many to be "safe", there are studies that link high fructose corn syrup to many health issues like obesity, dental problems, and increased triglycerides which makes one prone to heart attacks. Moreover, it is also very much associated with diabetes. Because of these, consumption of this type of sugar should be regulated. An average person should only consume about 150 milligrams of sugar daily. The problem however is that sugar is so ubiquitous in the human diet that more often than not we find ourselves consuming more than what we are supposed to. Here are some simple tips on how we can cut back our sugar consumption.

1. Avoid sugary foods and drinks. Instead of soda or processed fruit juices, try drinking water instead. Or, if you really need to drink a sweetened beverage, make your own juice drink from fresh fruit. You can also make delicious fruit or green smoothies instead of guzzling on the soda which can only add unnecessary pounds to your frame.

2. Eat more natural foods. Highly processed foods such as cookies, cakes, candies and other sweet concoctions are chock full of high fructose corn syrup. Even some microwavable foods are culprits behind our never-ending battle with obesity and other health concerns that plague the world today. While many advocate the Paleolithic Diet, merely cutting back on processed food consumption can also reduce our intake of this simple sugar which can definitely go a long way towards regulating our blood sugar levels.

3. Be mindful of the cereals you give your kids. While the frosted and highly-sweetened ones seem more appealing, they're definitely much less healthy. The added high fructose corn syrup content does more harm than good. Children who are already obese won't stand a chance of ever slimming down if parents continue to give these unhealthy cereal breakfasts to their kids. Try looking for plain cereals and add milk and fruit to sweeten the taste.

4. Look for alternatives to ice cream and donuts. Try low-fat yogurt or whole grain crackers. Instead of pastries, go for more nutritious fare like low-fat cheese and fruits like strawberries and blueberries. Not only will you avoid getting fat, you will also benefit from the high anti-oxidant content of these fruits to protect you from certain cancers and other degenerative diseases.

In moderation, high fructose corn syrup may not be the worst thing in the world. However, because it tastes delicious, there is always a tendency to consume more than what our body needs. The key is to substitute products like processed juices and pastries that are naturally high in simple sugar content with those that have complex sugars such as those that can be found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

Be sure to check out these Shakeology reviews, it's the preferred meal replacement product. Also, don't forget to read this post called " is Shakeology kosher ".

Why Fruits and Vegetables?

By Edward Pullen

What's the big deal about eating fruit and vegetables anyway? Why the emphasis on getting 5 servings a day? These are good questions, and the answers are not entirely obvious, though some parts of the answers are pretty simple.

One of the biggest advantages of eating fruits and vegetables is that they are terrific sources of key nutrients. Most of the B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, lots of minerals, and vitamins A and K are found in fruits and vegetables. The natural food sources of vitamins seems to be a healthier way to get these nutrients than any vitamin supplement source.

Another and maybe just as important reason to eat fruit and vegetables is that we tend to eat a certain number of times and relatively similar amounts each day. By ingesting a large quantity of one type of food, we are less likely to eat a lot of another. If we eat large helpings of vegetables with a meal, the amount of starchy carbohydrates we ingest is likely to be smaller. Since most fruits and vegetables are relatively lower in caloric content per volume of food ingested than most simple starchy carbohydrates we tend to eat less calories when we eat larger amounts of vegetables. Also most vegetables are relatively low in fat, and the fats they do contain tend to be healthier fats than are found in most meat products and processed foods. By eating foods low in fat we also keep our calorie intake down.

Fruits can be substituted for other sweets and desserts in many situations. A fresh or canned fruit dessert may satisfy our desire for something sweet after dinner without the high calorie, high simple carbohydrate, often high fat dessert we might otherwise choose. Fruit also can make breakfast special in the same type of way that bacon, sausage or eggs can make a special breakfast. Often we find that making a tasty addition to a simple breakfast can obviate our need or even desire to have a much higher fat, higher calorie breakfast treat.

Lunch is another great way to eat fruit of vegetables. The traditional sandwich with meat and/or cheese is simple, and works for lots of Americans. Substituting fruit or vegetables can cut down calories, increase nutrient value, and make our diet much more varied and interesting. Fruit especially is portable, easy to prepare and shop for, takes little to no preparation time, and can be a "grab-and-go" lunch or snack on the run for the busiest of us any day. We just have to plan ahead.

So figure out a way to eat five a day, and live healthier lives.

Blueberries for Fresh Eating and Processing

By Harold Stewart

Introduction

Tasty fresh blueberries are a favorite summertime delight to many people across the country. Fresh blueberries are in season during the summer months, and are available frozen all year around.

In the summer warm temperatures make harvested blueberries extremely perishable. They can decline rapidly in quality if not cooled soon after picking. Warm, ripe blueberries can leak, juice as a result of rough handling. This provides ideal conditions for decay to start right after they are picked. Shelf- life investigations have established remarkable reductions in decay are possible by rapid and thoroughly cooling blueberries right after they are picked. Cooling slows down the inevitable decline in quality after picking. You should cool blueberries as soon as possible after being picked and always if possible, within 4 hours of being harvested.

As may be expected, there are distinct differences between different blueberry varieties. Some varieties will keep much longer than other varieties. The following list is some of the blueberry varieties and their shelf life after picking and stored under refrigeration. Some such as Bluegold and Legacy have exceptional shelf lives. Both of these blueberry varieties also have outstanding flavor. This makes them particularly good for fresh eating and storage for a time while they are being eaten over a month after picking.

Table of blueberries shelf life, flavor and yield

Varieties for processing, shelf life, Flavor, yield at maturity (lbs/bush)

Arch blue, superior, sweet to sub acid, 15

Earliblue, average, large, delicious, 5-10

Duke, average, very sweet, 10 to 15

Reka, good, good flavor,

Northland, average, wild berry flavor, 15-20

Bluejay, average, medium/large, 10 to 20

Hardyblue, average, exceptionally sweet,

Draper, store well, good flavor

Bluegold, outstanding (up to five weeks), superior fruit, 12

Bluecrop, average, , high quality, 10 to 20

Legacy, above average (up to four weeks), robust flavor, 10 to 20

Rubel, average high anti-oxidants levels, full flavor, 8 to 10

Jersey, above average shelf life, best flavor of all, 5 -10

Ozarkblue, Shelf life is superior, sweet to sub acid, 15

Liberty, above average shelf life, medium in size,

Brigitta, tremendous keeping quality, well-balanced flavor, 10 to 20

Echota, excellent shelf life, great taste, 10 to 20

Little giant, average, rated very high, 15

Top Hat, average good for muffins, good, 2 to6

Premier, stores very well, excellent flavor, 8-16

Patriot, excellent flavor, 10 - 15

North Blue, stores well, very good, 3 - 7

Nelson, good shelf life, good, 10 - 15

Jubilee, long shelf life, high quality fruit, bountiful

Hannah's Choice, average, best flavor, 10 - 12

Friendship, good, superb flavor, 4 - 8

When selecting blueberries to grow in your garden shelf life and flavor are two qualities you may wish to consider. There are of course of factors that may be important to you such as antioxidant levels. The use of the berries such as baking in muffins, using to make jams etc. Small berries usually have higher levels of antioxidants than other varieties and are also a good size for use in baking such thing as muffins, and pancakes. Top Hat and Rubel are examples of wild blueberries with very high levels of antioxidants and also of a size favorable for using in baked goods. Duke is an example as shown in research trails that is exceptional for making good blueberry jam.

Why Drinking Soda Excessively Can Be Harmful to Your Body

By Brent Cullen

There is no doubt that soda is by far one of the most popular and favorite beverages that is on the market today. It is a drink that is enjoyed by people of all ages and classes. The one thing that most people do not understand about drinking soda is that it can play a part in developing several health complications in your body. Being that the FDA has approved the sale of diet soda, you might wonder what risks can possibly be involved with an FDA approved product as this tends to give us a sort of security blanket that it will not harm us. The truth of the matter is that it you are just an occasional soda drinker, it will probably not harm your body, but if you are an avid everyday drinker, then you may very well end up inviting some health problems into your body. Let us take a look on how this can happen.

Soda contains carbonated water and that does not contribute anything beneficial to your body. There are some experts who claim that carbonated water is not nearly as good when it comes to hydrating your body as regular water. You also gain no health benefits from drinking diet soda as it is excreted out through instant urination. Soda is very rich in sugar and the average America can of soda contains nearly 40 grams of it and this is definitely not good for your body.

Soda is loaded with empty calories and if you drink it excessively, then you are running the risk of inviting obesity into your life. The fact is that you hardly gain any nutritional benefits from drinking soda, but what you do gain are excess pounds added to your body and a lighter wallet. Also, the high sugar content can lead to tooth decay. The problem with drinking diet soda that claims to be low in calories is that it will have a high sodium content and that in turn is not good for your body as too much salt can lead to serious health risks such as a common one called osteoporosis.

There are also those who believe that drinking soda will increase your dependency on caffeine if you are one of those people who consume large amounts of caffeine based soda. It has been proven that in most cases, it is very difficult for caffeine users to curb their cravings as their body gets so used to having it that their brain is eagerly awaiting the next caffeine boost. Excessive caffeine consumption can seriously affect your mental and physical state of health. Recent studies have also suggested that drinking soda can cause our bones to weaken. Another point we need to remember is that diet soda is loaded with artificial sweeteners and they can pose serious threats to our health. These sweeteners also tend to make you feel hungry and that in turn can cause you to eat more and can contribute towards obesity.

The best possible thing that you could do for your health is to find a substitute for diet soda such as milk or water. Since drinking soda can help promote tooth decay, you might want to consider switching to a stronger tooth paste and increasing your daily brushing. Drinking soda helps to deplete the calcium content in your body, so you might want to consider adding a good supplement to make up for the calcium loss.

The Good And Bad Calories Of Food

By Daniel Z Davis

Dietitians and nutritionists will tell you that men and women need to take in so many calories a day based on their lifestyle. If you are an active person then you should take in more calories than someone who is less active. They will also tell you that men need more daily calories than women. This is good information, but what foods contain good calories and what foods contain bad?

With every bite of food we take, we consume calories in the form of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and alcohols. Foods with high saturated fats, trans fats, added sugars and cholesterol can be bad calories. They can lead to a higher risk for heart disease or diabetes. Not good. Here's an example of foods containing a high level of solid fats and added sugars, just to name a few:

  • Butter
  • Shortening
  • Margarine
  • Cheeses
  • Ice Cream
  • Bacon
  • Ground Beef
  • Donuts
  • Cookies
  • Crackers
  • Soft Drinks
  • Candy
  • Cakes
  • Pies

When consuming these types of foods we must do it in moderation. In other words, don't stuff your face! It's alright to eat solid fats and added sugars every now and then, just make sure you don't overdo it.

Foods that meet our bodies nutrient needs are good calories. They fuel our bodies and make us stronger and less likely to suffer from heart disease. Everyone should have a daily diet consisting of these types of foods:

  • Vegetables
  • Protein
  • Dairy
  • Fruits
  • Grains

Keep in mind that all of these foods can contain bad calories as well. In today's busy world most people tend to consume a lot of processed foods that contain high saturated fats and added sugars. It is important to check the nutrition facts when buying your groceries. Some food items should be purchased from an all natural store. By doing so you'll be feeding your body the good calories needed to live a healthier lifestyle.

Sneaking in the Veggies

By Kimberly Coventry

While consulting with clients, I am always amazed at the lack of vegetables I see in their food journals. During our consulting sessions they agree that they need to be eating more, but aren't sure how to do it. And what about the spouse or kids-they often despise vegetables!

I can completely relate to these objections. As a child, I was the pickiest eater around-I ate cereal, sandwiches, and spaghetti-and that was it. When I got out on my own, I usually ate low fat diet food or frozen dinners. Needless to say, my diet was virtually devoid of vegetables, and I learned that I needed to make some changes.

Through my studies in Grad School, there was overwhelming evidence of the health benefits of eating vegetables. There seemed to be varying opinions on the benefits of proteins and fats, and which ones had the most positive impact on health. But vegetables? No credible source or study ever said not to eat your veggies. Be cautious of those that do.

So how to sneak those veggies in? For breakfast, my favorite daily trick is to add spinach and any leftover vegetables to an omelet or scrambled eggs. I always top with fresh salsa as an added benefit. Another great breakfast trick is to add some fresh greens (spinach, kale, etc.) to a protein smoothie. You won't even be able to taste the difference!

Throughout the day, add a side salad with lunch or even make it your entire meal. I love starting with mixed greens and chopped tomatoes, adding some healthy fats such as avocado or flax oil, and then topping with a lean protein such as chicken or turkey. Yum! Your salad has now become a balanced meal instead of a forgotten afterthought.

Dinner is probably the easiest way to sneak veggies in and the best opportunity to positively impact your family's health (and yours too!). Take what you do know your family likes and rotate serving these as a side dish. Take other less popular veggies and add them to casserole dishes, pasta sauces, stir fries, taco fixings or pizza toppings. Definitely be creative with this-just add them in whenever you can. The best part is when your family tells you how great everything tastes and doesn't even notice the added vegetables. As for dessert, you're on your own, but please share any ideas you come up with!

Now you can see how these small changes can lead to a big impact. Make it your goal to work your way up to 5-8 servings daily. You will be rewarded with the vast array of health benefits that come along with eating an abundant amount of vegetables. Make the decision today to change your eating habits for the better!

Fruits and Vegetables Nutrition Facts

By Alana C. Johnson

Having fruits and vegetables nutrition facts will create the foundation for good health. With the ever changing conditions of our lives, it is important to understand which natural sources are able to heal, cure and strengthen our bodies. Every sick person yearns for relief and healing. Instead of running to the doctor for a prescription, wouldn't you rather consume healing foods that build your immune system? Here are four basic nutrition facts about the benefits of fruits and vegetables.

Most fruits and vegetables are high in fiber. Fiber is a needed in our bodies to help with the digestive process and cleanse our bodies of waste. Fiber is an essential part of healthy bowel movements to prevent toxic build up and disease. Another valuable contribution made by fruits and vegetables to our digestive system is the reduced time they take to be processed. The longer it takes for our bodies to process the foods we eat, the longer it takes for their benefits to be available for use. Energy is a major reason all living things consume nutrients. Fruits and vegetables can be digested within thirty minutes in comparison to meat that can take hours. Again, when we are sick, time is of the essence.

Illness is by far the biggest threat to the human body. Lives are affected everyday by many death threatening circumstances and situations, but diseases are the biggest threat. When we talk about disease, there is always a negative connotation involved because death is always a looming fear. Trillions of dollars are spent annually researching, developing, testing and purchasing medications for various illnesses. In comparison much less is spent educating consumers about nutrition facts.

Modern medicine has its place and has helped millions of people but what about those who could just as easily been cured by eating the right fruits and vegetables? Or those who could eat better if they have healthy nutrition facts? Both contain important vitamins that are crucial to healthy bodies. If the fruits and vegetables available to us are meant to sustain our bodies, won't they also heal and cure them? Most fruits contain vitamins C, D and E which are valuable anti-oxidants that protect our bodies.

Circulation is a major part of our overall health. Its importance is stressed because it is linked to the flow blood. Without proper circulation our bodies and our minds will not function. A chain reaction (often leading to death) occurs when poor circulation symptoms go unaddressed. Lack of concentration and energy, headaches, high blood pressure and shortness of breath are only a few problems related to poor circulation.

To combat these conditions and build your constitution walking is the best solution. You can however, also increase your intake of citrus fruits, berries and green vegetables like cabbage, spinach and Brussels sprouts. As with many other aspects of the body, circulation is one link in the chain of health. You can either strengthen it or weaken it. Having nutrition facts will guide your efforts for better health.

Fruits and vegetables have a profound effect on our brains. Studies have shown that adequate and daily consumption will reduce deteriorating conditions like Alzheimer's disease. This is especially true of bright colored fruits and vegetables. If you are used to buying green bell peppers for salads and meals, consider using red, yellow or orange. The same goes for sweet potatoes and leafy green vegetables like kale and spinach. Though these are simple changes, they are nutrition facts that will make a difference.

Because brain cells have very little replenishment and contain a low amount of anti-oxidants, they are extremely sensitive to damage. This being the case, it is an unfortunate fact that brain cells are not replaced if injured or killed. Without proper function of the brain our bodies become useless. Why not do everything in our power to protect our brains, our bodies and our lives?
