Herbs Vs. Synthetic Vitamins And Minerals

April 28th, 2008 by admin

COMPANIES do not KNOW HOW TO MAKE HERBAL FORMULAS
without BULK VITAMINS and MINERALS

There is a trend on the market mixing herbs with different ingredients also
called the ‘fillers’. Seriously, just look on the label - most Supplements
are mixed with herbs…

Why?

To make those products more attractive for you. Extra Vitamins, Minerals and
other ‘goodies’ are purchased as a bulk. So, when you read the label you
see a long list… Yes?

THE UGLY TRUTH IS OUT

Minerals are striped of from the sea-salt and from other sea vegetables.
Often, man-made synthetic Vitamins and Minerals are added to your
supplements and Health Foods. GENERIC/Synthetic Vitamins and Minerals are
inexpensive to make, just as generic drugs.

One thing those companies do not understand that HERBS should NEVER
be mixed together with isolated Vitamins and Minerals. NEVER!
Bulk products are often not fresh, different product can have a different
exp. date and the worse what can happen, when herbs are mixed with them.
Herbs are especially sensitive to air exposure so, before the final product
is ready herbs are not as potent.

Q: WHY HERBS ARE MIXED WITH OTHER INGREDIENTS?

There is only ONE answer to this question: It is not easy to make herbal
supplement that works! So, companies are adding other by-products to
increase their effectiveness.
Herbs are smart, they know what to do, and in the right hands they are
transformed into the work of ART. Herbs works best in the combination
just as gourmet dish… each ingredient is fine but together they are
unforgettable.

Now you must wonder if your formula is the work of ART too?

Let me help you to answer this burning question, and to help you to
draw your own conclusion. I assume that you like your Supplement(s)?

Q: How long you are taking them? 1 month, 6 months, 1 year or longer?

A: Quite honestly, it makes not difference what Supplement you are taking,
if you can’t feel or see results after 1 month, it is time to make decision…

Q: Why you are taking them?

A: To correct medical condition or, just to maintain your good health?

Q: Do you see and/or feel the difference between now, and before you
started taking them?

A: Good supplement should produce results before month is over - and
your blood test should confirm it.

Q: Do you want to feel better than you are feeling now?

Q: Do you believe there is nothing better than what you are taking at this time?

A: So, if you feel so good that you can’t imagine feeling any better - the answer is
clear, you should stay with your Supplement but… if you are wondering how much
better you could feel - your imagination is going to become a reality right now…

Healthy Eating With Sprouting Seeds

April 19th, 2008 by admin

There is one activity that you can try both in winter and throughout the year that will give you a supply of fresh, nutritious and cheap salads in as few as four days. I am talking, of course, about sprouting seeds. Many varieties of vegetables and grasses can be used including alfafa, broccoli, fenugreek and mung beans which produce the familiar chinese beansprouts.

What equipment do you need to get started? Seeds can be sprouted in glass jars or trays, so for your first attempt, you can use any jar that you have to hand. Purpose made equipment is available from nurseries and other merchants if you decide to sprout seeds on a regular basis.

How do you grow them? First soak the seeds in water overnight, then drain off the water and place the seeds in your jar or tray. Since the seeds will expand up to 30 times their volume, do not overfill your jar. Keep the container at about room temperature (20c).

The only extra care required is regular rinsing which involves running the trays under a tap for a few seconds or filling the jar and then allowing the water to drain away. Do this two or three times a day, but at least every twelve hours. Make sure that the jars and trays are drained fully since too much water will encourage mould and the seeds to rot.

After a few days mini roots and shoots will develop. Harvest sprouts carefully by gently pulling ripe ones out from the rest. This allows less developed ones to continue growing so you get several harvests of perfect sprouts.

Why are they so good for you? When seeds have just sprouted there is an increase in proteins, enzymes and vitamins. They are also fresh, not having lost goodness in transit from the shop. Broccoli sprouts are rich in sulforaphanes, the anti-cancer agents which stimulate our body’s natural resources. Adzuki beans are high in fibre, minerals and vitamin B and are good for weight loss.

Any recipe suggestions? Add them to your salads, use for stir fries and include some in your sandwiches. Scatter a few on your bowl of soup instead of croutons. Try adding some to your baked potato filling or include them in an omlette. After the excesses of the Christmas holiday they are perfect for lightening the load.

Health Food - More Than Just a Name, But a Lifestyle

March 7th, 2008 by admin

Eating health food has become a trend in the past couple decades, but while it’s good for your body, many are put off by the high prices on health foods one finds when shopping in one’s local grocery store. Although it may have a good effect on your body, the exorbitant prices of organic food items at supermarkets can have a nasty effect on your wallet. There must be a way to eat healthy for a lower price, you think. Well, there is.

The first necessity is to stay away from the supermarket. Stores that specialize in health food are lower priced, better stocked, and the employees usually know more information about health food than would your typical supermarket clerk, leaving them able to guide you in the direction best suited for your health situation. Farmers’ markets, gourmet delis, and community agricultural programs are some other excellent ways to find cheaper prices on food that’s good for both your body and your taste buds.

A few simple tips can lead you in the right direction when deciding where and when to purchase healthy, organic food.

1. Shop at farmers’ markets. Why should you eat fruit that’s been boxed and tossed inside of truck to be driven across country, when you can buy fresh products just harvested by farmers in your own area?

2. Research! You have more options than you realize. Simply type ‘health food’ into a search engine and you will be inundated with countless directories of health food stores, specialty stores, organic food markets and so on, and can easily locate the one or more that are located nearest you.

3. Buy a share or half-share in a community supported agriculture program, or CSA. For around $350, you can receive boxes of fresh fruit weekly for the 25 week growing seasonsome freshly picked the morning you receive it! How tempting is that?

4. The best prices are in-season. But what to do when the growing season is over? Freeze the produce! It stays yummy and can be pulled out and thawed for consumption year round, and it’s much cheaper than forking over the higher prices for organic food when the pickings are slim.

5. Buy in bulk. Do the math. For things like nuts and lentils, buying in bulk can be a great way to save. So long as you have a dry, cool area to store them in, just buy a bunch that can last you for months rather than buying individual batches at a much higher cost. But always calculate the pricesometimes, the savings aren’t worth the hassle.

6. Join your local co-op. A food co-op is a business owned by members which provides products such as groceries to its members at a discount. Joining one is usually pretty easyjust sign on and pay your dues, and if you volunteer for the co-op you can get even more discounts. Most of the food from co-ops is organic, from local family farms.

Now that you’re on your way to purchasing health foods at a price closer to reasonable (although health food prices rarely come within pennies of conventional food prices outside of California), make sure you have a diet plan and know which health foods you should eat to best compliment your body. A little bit of planning can go a long way in terms of how you feel.
