Eating Disorders Do Not Discriminate

Genetics, Psychology, and Media all influence the onset of an eating disorder. Once we get caught in the cycle, some days it seems as though we will never break free. We constantly beat ourselves up, every moment of every hour of every day. If we could just be perfect in some way then we would be ok

Juice Sensibility And Juicing

Being vegetarian is one of the greatest things in the world. From good health to sufficient energy in your daily life. Eating healthy is one of the easiest ways to ensure both your mood and physical wellbeing remain at their positive peek.

Calculating Your Calorie Needs

A 150-pound man requires approximately 2600 calories per day. The 'Basal Metabolic Rate' is the number of calories a man of that weight would burn just to keep the heart beating, the lungs pumping, etc. You would just burn your basal metabolic rate worth of calories if you slept all day.

Are Your Cells Talking To Each Other?

Why Many Fat Free Diets Do Not Work

A single gram of fat contain nine calories, which is more than double the amount of calories in a gram protein or carbohydrate. Therefore, mathematically speaking, an eater can consume twice as many protein or carbohydrate grams than fat grams, and achieve the same caloric intake.

Redeeming Unsaturated Fat

Saturated fat is often the real culprit when it comes to unwanted, and potentially unhealthy, weight gain. These types of fats, which are solid at room temperature, initiate the production of LDL cholesterol, or bad cholestrol.

Amino Acids and their Importance in Diet

Amino acids are organic compounds that contain two groups of molecules: amino and carboxyl. Understanding the importance of amino acids is critical, because a failure to eat foods that contain these essential amino acids can lead to deficiency and adverse health effects.

The Glycemic Index and Dieting

The Glycemic Index indicates how high; or low blood sugar levels change in response to carbohydrate intake. A high; Glycemic Index indicates carbohydrates with a swift breakdown, whereas a low; Glycemic Index indicates carbohydrates with slow, gradual breakdown. Both terms are of equal importance to diabetics, because there are times with high Glycemic Index foods are required, and times where low Glycemic Index foods are required.
