Acid and Alkaline Food Diet, Part 2

source: flikr So what did I mean when I said I shall provide two lists for the Acid and Alkaline Food diet in Part 1? Confused? Well, whenever I have scowered the internet for a list identifying the state (i.e. acidic or alkaline) of foods, I always come across some discrepancies in.....

Cookies benefit breast milk and reviews

Who would’ve thought that “The Health People” might advocate the consumption of cookies, huh?Ok there’s a slight catch, these aren’t ordinary cookies, they are enriched with CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid). As a result of eating these enriched cookies, researchers found these healthy fatty acids to be present in breast at a higher level (46% ~ higher) than those who only consumed normal biscuits. This doesn’t mean necessarily that all women have been given the green light to consume large amounts of biscuits and hence overdose on saturated fat and sugars. The study aims to show how CLA supplementation can make its way into the breast...


POM Wonderful healths and fitness ...reviews

So I guess you must’ve seen the massive ad campaign being conducted by the ‘POM Wonderful’ company, especially here in the UK, if not, where have you been?! To my knowledge, the drink is not new, it has been around for quite some time now, so why such a big campaign? No idea. What is ‘POM Wonderful’? Simply…a juice drink!

Have I tried it yet? NO! Will I try it? YES! According to POM’s website,...


Omega-3 Diet Linked to Lower Heart Disease Risk

In yet another study showing the benefits of consuming foods high in Akira Sekikawa (MD) and colleagues found that rather than genetic factors contributing to the lower heart disease risk in Japan’s population, the actual content of Japanese diets may be responsible instead. The study, cited in the August edition of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, involved 281 men living in Japan, 306 Caucasian American men and 281 Japanese-American men living in Hawaii. The researchers conducted blood tests to measure total fatty acids and fatty acids. Although the total fatty acid levels were similar amongst all three groups,...


POM Wonderful Review and healths

Yeah, that’s right! Cut the long VERY short, the drink is not very tasty, though that doesn’t mean it is not palatable. It’s somewhat of an acquired taste! (Queen’s English accent pleeeeeeeease!) Some people have told me that it tastes like medicane and I can see what they mean. So what are the ingredients? 100% from concentrate and natural flavourings. Two things I don’t like very much: That it is from concentrate!What are the natural flavourings?! I was quite shocked at the price. Here (in the UK), it cost me £3.14 for a little less than 500ml, which is VERY expensive. Would I buy it again? Probably not, though the health...

Cholesterol: What is it and what should your level be?

This is a guest post by Monique Slater. Basically, the lower the better! Did you know 1 in 2 Australian Adults are affected by cholesterol! What’s scary is that only 1 in 5 think they are affected. But what exactly is cholesterol? It can be so confusing especially when you hear about ‘good and bad cholesterol’ and then ‘total’ cholesterol – what is the difference? Isn’t it all the same? Cholesterol is a waxy substance which is found naturally in our blood – in fact it is made by our liver but we also receive a small amount from the food we eat. Without cholesterol our bodies could not perform a number of important body processes...
