    The Top 5 Healthy Snacks You Should Be Eating

    When you search the internet for “healthy snacks,” you might be surprised by the results you get. The majority of sources of course reveal companies trying to sell their own products. Just saying their snacks are healthy obviously works for them, but few if any made my list of healthy snacks. Fact is, most sources are extremely confused about health and snacks. Most dwell on the low fat choices. It would seem we still do not yet fully comprehend the concept of healthy versus

    Are Microwaves Harming Your Health?

    It’s a controversial subject with many experts piping in about the hazards of the microwave oven, while others say they are safe. But the questions and concerns linger on your mind every time you turn one on. Are you hurting your health, or is this technology really safe? Let’s face it, microwaves are handy-dandy gadgets that heat your food quickly. The technology has been around since the 50’s, and the FDA began regulating them as they became commercialized in the early 70’s

    Is Red Meat Safe? Is Bacon Safe?

    Lately you hear it all the time, eat this don’t eat that. Steak causes heart disease, bacon causes cancer, fish is unsafe, but is it all true? I mean seriously, now both the media and blogosphere are on another feeding frenzy with the latest report from the World Health Organization (WHO). Why? Because WHO classified cured and processed meats as carcinogenic to humans and red meat as probably carcinogenic. Really! They did. But what does the research actually tell us about th

    Are You Leaking Nutrients?

    Do you leak? I’m not talking about your bladder. I’m referring to your gut. Leaky Gut Syndrome today is known as the disease your medical doctor can’t diagnose. It’s a dangerous and hidden cause of chronic illness that medical science hardly recognized until recently and which still isn’t taught in medical schools. It can masquerade as fatigue, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, digestive symptoms, weight problems, and other serious conditions including chronic pain…It’s been

    What's Healthier: Bacon or Tootsie Rolls?

    Trick question? Perhaps. The tootsie roll has no known nutritional value. It weighs in at 99 calories an ounce and is made up of sugar, corn syrup, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, condensed skim milk, cocoa, whey, soy lecithin, and natural and artificial flavors, whatever they are. Bacon weighs in at about 45 calories (one strip). Of the 45 calories, approximately 65 percent comes from fat. Is that bad? Well, you need some fat in your diet to help absorb your fat soluble

    The 78 Year Old Body Builder

    Ernestine Shepherd is 78 years old and in 2010 was declared the World’s Oldest Performing Body Builder. Today Shepherd can be seen sporting a flat stomach, toned arms, and exceptional health. Unfortunately, it wasn’t always this way. Many, many years ago Shepherd and her sister, Mildred, were trying on swimsuits at a store. Not liking what they saw, they both decided to get in shape together. This idea never came to fruition until Shepherd was 56 years old, when her sister Mi

    The Top 10 Superfoods You Should Be Eating

    Over the last several blogs, I have outlines the importance of cutting out processed carbohydrates and fructose laden products. I have repeatedly stated that the more processed a food, the harder it is to stay healthy; what I haven’t mentioned is what can be done to replace those foods. Obviously, cutting out grains and sugar (particularly fructose), is the first crucial step to improving your health and normalizing your weight. But we still need to pay attention to what you

    Can You Outrun Your Fork

    Ever seen someone who seems to eat whatever they want but they never seem to gain weight? Let’s face it most people enjoy eating, but can you really eat whatever you want? Can you out exercise your fork? Find out in this week’s blog. Fact is, even on a very basic calorie level, the amount of calories you take in by eating a fast-food burger, fries, and soda is probably far more than you'll ever burn during even the most high intensity workout you can possibly do!

    Are Nutrient Deficiencies Messing With You?

    Have you noticed a mysterious health symptom that has no apparent cause? It’s worth considering whether a nutrient deficiency may be to blame. Fact is that vitamins and minerals are co-factors (required helpers) for all the bio-chemical reactions in the body. We need them in order to function properly, and when we don’t get them, or get too much of one and not enough of another, things happen. Are You Deficient In Magnesium? Take magnesium for instance. It deserves a special

    The 7 Things All Successful Diet Plans Have In Common

    When choosing to diet you are often left with more questions than answers. How do I lose weight, how do I choose the right things to do, and what is the best thing to do? The problem is that hundreds of diets, books, supplements, drinks and other methods exist but relatively few have been carefully studied. They include very low-fat diets such as the Ornish and Pritikin diets; low-carbohydrate diets, such as Atkins, Paleo, South Beach; and the Mediterranean diet, which has th

    200 Calories is 200 Calories. Right?

    If you care about your health and are truly working to keep your weight down, then you need to know the truth about calories as well as the substances that distort how calories work in your body. Let’s face it, diet myths are abound in the health industry, especially the multi-billion dollar weight loss industry. Perhaps the biggest myths of all is the idea that you need to balance your calories in versus your calories out, otherwise called the energy balance theory. But are
