Cells are the fundamental building blocks that make up the human body. They provide the energy we need to power everything we do, from thinking to growing. As we grow our body does one of three things with our cells. First - we build new cells to replace the old ones. Second - we replenish or fortify our healthy cells.

Myths about food and losing weight 24-09-2007 5:41 am

When starting a new weight loss program we are often given advice on how and what to eat. Sometimes the information we receive is just not true. Following are 5 of the most common myths about food and losing weight. Don't be surprised if something you thought was true isn't. Many of us often take the wrong approach to weight loss because we believe it means eating less or eating healthier foods.
Food Myth #1 - Cutting down on portion size is the best way to lose weight. Not true - If you attempt to lose weight just by cutting down on portion size you are likely to gain the weight right back. This�approach can result sending your body into starvation mode which results in the storing of more fat and calories which slows the weight loss process. Long lasting weight loss results will come from the types of food you eat not just the amount.

Food Myth #2 - Cut out the fat and you'll lose weight. This approach to losing weight simply doesn't work. Just because a food is labeled 'Fat Free' does not mean that it is low in calories. Low fat foods may still have lots of sugar and carbohydrates in them. Many 'Low Fat' foods are labeled that way as an attempt to hide their true weight gaining properties. However, reducing your saturated fat intake is a good for your weight loss program, it just isn't enough by itself. Read More (Permalink)

How vitamins prevent stress and improve health 28-09-2007 6:11 am

Vitamins are found in foods and dietary supplements.

By taking the right vitamins you can improve your health, prevent stress, slow the aging process and even boost your immune system. Studies show that taking a daily multivitamin can help with a specific health concerns such as heart disease.

Calcium: is more than just good for your bones and teeth. Recent studies have shown that calcium binds fatty acids in your intestine making them unavailable for absorption into artery clogging fats in your blood. Folic Acid reduces the risk of heart disease, according to new research. This essential B vitamin helps convert dangerous homocysteine in your blood to a safer amino acid, called methionine.

Vitamin E acts as your cardiovascular system's housekeeper. It cleans out cell-damaging free radicals and also helps to prevent platelets from clumping together and clogging your blood vessels.

B Complex: When you're under emotional and physical stress, your body taps your stores of B Complex to produce stress hormones like adrenaline. This in turn depletes the B vitamins necessary for the production of the hormones that let you relax again.

Magnesium: A vicious cycle exists between stress hormones and magnesium. When you're under stress your adrenal glands produce the hormones cortisol, norepinephrine, and adrenaline.

Vitamin C: helps your body prevent the overproduction of the stress hormones cortisol and DHEA. Excessive amounts of these hormones cause a dangerous increase in blood pressure, blood clotting, and blood sugar.

Research shows that vitamins improves your health in the following ways.
