Info Diet Plan

What do you look for when you seek out a source for natural health information? I personally try to find resources that provide evidence that supports what they write about - such as verifiable, scientific citations. Another essential characteristic of the alternative health sites I like best is accessibility . I want to be able to understand whats being explained and I also like it when sites allow readers to ask questions and receive answers. This greatly enriches my experience and helps me to understand the concepts much better. HealthyFellow.com is my favorite natural medicine site because it covers these bases very well. Heres an overview of the information I found on Healthy Fellow this past week. Link - Fenugreek Research Link - Dried Plums or Prunes - The Forgotten Superfruit Link - Natural Heart Attack Protection Link - Alternate Day Fasting Link - An H1N1 Flu Success Story As you can see from the titles of the links, the subject matter is pretty broad in scope. Thats s...

There is an urban legend that in its initial phase, the regime of the Sacred Heart was developed by the Department of Cardiology of the Sacred Heart Diet Memorial Hospital and has been used to treat overweight heart patients before use. However, it is unclear whether this myth about the origin of the Sacred Heart Diet is true. There are other names for the regime of the Sacred Heart Diet, as the Plan of Miami, the Cleveland Clinic Diet, the Spokane Heart Diet, diet and Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital. Moreover, the regime of the Sacred Heart has several features that are very similar to the diet of cabbage soup. Context of the Sacred Heart Diet: The regime is necessarily based Sacred Heart Diet Soup and ensures weight loss as much as 10-17 pounds in the first week itself. Insurance may be right, but since weight loss is usually in the form of water, there is a good chance that you take ...

My healthier versions of some Irish-American favorites to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! (Updated March 2014 with more options and better photos.)  Even if you don't have even the tiniest bit of Irish blood, you're still probably aware that next week is St. Patrick's Day.  I don't remember my mom ever cooking special food for this day, and since I've been a food blogger I've learned that many foods Americans cook for this holiday are not really Irish at all.  I am a little bit Irish, but even so I'm not claiming that my favorites in this post are authentic Irish recipes.  Still they're a fun way to celebrate the day, and most of these are lightened up a bit from the Irish-Americans foods that are often eaten on this day.  Enjoy!

Today, July 3rd, is national eat bean day, so why not celebrate it by adding some beans to your diet. Beans (a legume) are a great source of protein, fiber, minerals and some B vitamins. They are low in fat and cholesterol. Here is the nutrition information for 0.5 cup cooked beans made from dried beans (taken from "Dietitians Online"):   Although beans do not make a complete protein, when you add them to a grain (example: rice and beans, couscous and lentils, barley and chick peas, etc.) they become a full protein. These combinations can help vegetarians and vegans, that dont eat meat, eggs and/or dairy, to meet their protein needs. Beans have been shown to help with lowering cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure. Moreover, they can reduce risk for heart disease, some cancers, diabetes and bone disease (osteoporosis). Since beans are packed with fiber, they help you feel fuller longer as well as help your bowels move and prevent constipation. There are multiple vitam...

Morning Zumba on the deck with Cabo San Lucas in the background Follow Foods For Long Life on FACEBOOK ! Another Healthy Vacation Last year I posted How to take a healthy cruise and have fun without the weight gain. Feeling pretty confident that I could do this again, Doug and I jumped at the chance when we got a great deal on a 10 day "Mind, Body & Spirit" cruise to the Mexican Riviera on the Crystal Symphony. But besides just focusing on the healthy food options, this time I focused on the full agenda of healthy lectures and activities.  Cruises and other types of "all inclusive" vacations can be dangerous if you slip into the mode of trying to "eat and drink your moneys worth". But try to remember that the lovely memory of that last chocolate dessert fades long before the fat it put on your thighs! There are always wonderful food choices to make, especially on cruises where they bend over backwards to please you.  Lots of wonderful ingredients for a...

Have an intimate dinner at home with your Valentine. Follow Foods For Long Life on Facebook and Pinterest . National Eating Out Day Going to a restaurant on Valentines Day is like going to church on Easter Sunday. Now Im not saying you should stop going to church on Easter Sunday, but I do suggest you stay home this Friday.  There may be a few small, local restaurants in your town who will do a good job just because thats just what they do, but most big restaurants will not. Heres what you can expect: The restaurant will be mobbed and youll be sitting elbow to elbow with a room full of strangers. And when you finally figure out how to focus real hard and filter out all the noise and distractions (so you can concentrate on your special someone), you will not-so-politely be given your check so that they can usher in the next seating. And lets talk about the food. It will most likely be a Prix Fixe menu which means that you will be given very little selection. How else will...
