Vegetarian EPA / DHA - Sound Ethical Investment for Diet, Health & Nutrition
(ContentDesk) March 13, 2006 -- Hot on the heels of her helping to develop whats probably the worlds healthiest dairy free, sugar free chocolate (with shelled hemp for added essential fats and amino acids) Harley Street Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston is now helping to launch another world exclusive, a Vegetarian and Vegan docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) product.Following many years of research and development, scientists in Europe have succeeded in developing a state of the art natural extraction process to extract DHA and EPA from a secret strain of pure algae.Yvonne says There are very real concerns about toxicity in fish oils and even the ultra conservative British Nutrition Foundation admit that the idea of obtaining enough DHA and EPA from threatened fish stocks is unsustainable. "The practice of feeding fish to cows to increase essential fats and DHA and EPA in their milk is even more ludicrous" Studies show that, probably due to modern diets and lifestyles, many peoples bodys
conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA is very hit and miss especially for DHA. Algal DHA has been shown to match fishs ability to increase DHA in the body , meanwhile fish
based DHA and EPA has been shown to out perform ALA rich foods such as flax.Although nutritionists struggle to agree the exact ratios of essential fats most of them agree that the levels of DHA / EPA should be balanced.The discovery of a vegetarian EPA/ DHA product that offers a credible alternative is a huge leap forward in ethical health and nutrition.Vegetarians, Vegans, and those with strong ethical, environmental and religious beliefs should be particularly delighted with this innovative product but it also offers beneficial long-term ramifications for the natural health industry at large.Editors Noteshttp://www.vegetarian-dha-epa.co.ukhttp://www.foodsforlife.org.ukhttp://www.news.foodsforlife.orghttp://www.water4.net/press-release.htm.
?The Subconscious Diet? Can Help Protect Your Child From Type 2 Diabetes
Until obesity became epidemic, type 2 diabetes was virtually unheard of in children and teens. It was originally called "adult-onset" because it was mainly seen after middle age. At least 9 million American children are seriously overweight and another 9 million are heavy enough to be at risk, yet studies show that many parents are in denial about their children's obesity. 16% of U.S. children have weight problems but doctors make weight reduction suggestions to parents about their children in only 1% of visits.
There are a number of reasons for this denial and lack of concern:Obese mothers nearly always recognize that they are overweight but only 1 in 5 correctly identified their overweight children.Many doctors are just too busy to become involved in problems not directly related to the symptoms the child was brought in for.78% of the population of the U.S. does not see being overweight as a health problem.Many cultures equate thinness with poverty and starvation; to them a...

The Carbohydrate Debate
To eat or not to eat carbohydrates. that is the question. There are good carbs and there are bad carbs. How can we tell the difference and how do we know what to eat? The old way of classifying carbohydrates: Complex Carbohydrates provide fiber, vitamins, minerals and energy. Some foods that contain complex carbohydrates are whole grain bread, legumes like peas and beans, pasta, rice, and starchy vegetables.
Simple Carbohydrates are broken down quickly to provide energy. Simple carbohydrates are found naturally in milk, fruits and vegetables. Simple carbs are also found in processed foods like syrup, soda, and refined sugar found in many processed baked goods. In this way of classifying carbs, it is recommended that we limit our intake of simple carbs and get most of our carbohydrates from complex carbs. The new way of classifying carbohydrates: The Glycemic Index (GI) measures how quickly blood sugar rises after ingesting a food with carbohydrates.

Improve your eating habits.
How many of us have been on diets at one or many times in our lives. Basically diets don't work. If you want to lose weight permanently ? adopt a healthy eating regime. Eat less and exercise more!1. Water.
If you're thirsty you're already dehydrated. The majority of us don't tend to drink enough during the day. If you drink a lot of tea and coffee to keep you going then these have a diuretic effect so you should be drinking water to compensate.Have a glass of water first thing in the morning and last thing at night ? your body loses a lot of water while you're asleep ? not only if it's warm and you sweat a lot but just going 8 hours (if you're so lucky) without food or drink it's going to be dehydrated.Dehydration can also be mistaken for hunger ? have a glass of water first before reaching for a snack or eating a meal.2. Fruit & Veg. Fruit and vegetables provide you with vitamins, minerals and fibre to help keep your body healthy.
