Top 10 Cholesterol Lowering Foods

by Jason Horsley

Over the years, we have come to learn just how important a part cholesterol plays in our overall health. Because of this overwhelming importance, we have chosen to put together a list of our TOP TEN Cholesterol lowering foods that can easily be added to anyone's daily diet. Put this list to use starting today!

1. Apples: Apple pectin is a soluble fiber that helps draw cholesterol out of the system. The flavonoids (Quercetin) in apples act as a powerful anti-oxidant that seems to short-circuit the process that leads “bad” LDL cholesterol to accumulate in the bloodstream.

2. Beans: Beans and vegetables are an excellent source of soluble fiber and high in vegetable protein. By properly combing beans with brown rice, seeds, corn, wheat you can create a complete protein. Properly combined beans become an excellent substitute for red meat protein that is high in saturated fat.

3. Brown Rice: The oil in whole brown rice, not its fiber, lower cholesterol. Brown rice can be combined with beans to form an inexpensive complete protein low in saturated fat. In addition, this whole grain also supplies good doses of heart-healthy fiber, magnesium and B vitamins.

4. Cinnamon: A study published in the journal Diabetes Care found that half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day significantly reduces blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It also reduces triglyceride, LDL, the bad cholesterol and the total cholesterol level.

5. Garlic: Garlic contains the chemical allicin, which has been shown to kill bacteria and fungi, and alleviate certain digestive disorders. It also lowers the blood clotting properties of blood. But the most notable attention garlic has received over recent years is its possible usefulness in lowering cholesterol levels.

6. Grapes: Flavonoids in grapes protect LDL cholesterol from free radical damage and reduce platelet clumping. The LDL lowering effect of grapes comes from a compound that grapes produce normally to resist mold. The darker the grape, the better.

7. Oats: Oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which reduces your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the “bad” cholesterol. Five to 10 grams of soluble fiber a day decreases LDL cholesterol by about 5 percent. Eating 1.5 cups of cooked oatmeal provides 4.5 grams of fiber â€" enough to lower your cholesterol.

8. Salmon: The major health components in salmon include: Omega 3 fatty-acid and protein. These components have a favorable cardiovascular effect. The American Heart Association recommends that people include at least two servings of fish/week, particularly fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines, anchovies and herring), in their diets.

9. Soy: The top health promoting components in soybeans are isoflavones and soluble fiber. Isoflavones act like human hormone that can lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol. All soy products (soybeans, soy nuts, tofu, tempeh, soy milk, etc.) are complete proteins.

10. Walnuts: Walnuts can significantly reduce blood cholesterol because they are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Walnuts also help keep blood vessels healthy and elastic. Almonds appear to have a similar effect, resulting in a marked improvement within just four weeks. A cholesterol-lowering diet with a little less than 1/3 of a cup of walnuts/day may reduce LDL cholesterol by 12 percent.

Ways to keep Bones Healthy

by gupta

If the diet is deficient in good-quality fats, hormones will be produced in inadequate amounts. And vitamin D, a hormone-like vitamin, will not be utilized well. Further, mineral absorption is dependent on fats. A low-fat diet, in my opinion, makes it quite difficult to have healthy bones.

Unfortunately the typical western diet is now so heavily weighted with white flours, refined sugars and fats it is deplete of many of the micronutrients required for healthy bones. Whilst calcium is necessary, it is not the only critical micronutrient for healthy bones. Make sure your diet has an adequate supply of magnesium, zinc, silicon, boron, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, Manganese, vitamin K, vitamin D and magnesium.

Drinking a glass of orange juice with your cereal can boost iron absorption by the body. Vitamin C helps the body metabolize the iron. A high quality Vitamin C supplement rich in antioxidants to help fight the harmful effects of free radicals is a wonderful supplement not only to assist iron absorption, but also to combat ageing. Sufficient calcium intake is essential since the human body cannot produce calcium by itself. And the body loses calcium all the time through shed nails, skin, sweat, hair, etc. This is where the calcium supplement comes to help. Calcium could be found in many foods so the accurately designed diet may replace the need for calcium supplement.

Health supplements also provide us with various minerals. Minerals play a number of roles, like helping your body to use the energy from foods. For example, iron supplement provides your body with iron, which is an important component of proteins involved in oxygen transport and metabolism. Calcium supplement provides us with calcium, which is critical for transmission of nerve impulses, regulation of the heartbeat, clotting of blood, and building and maintaining healthy bones. Healthy blood, healthy bones, healthy heart, healthy body and a peaceful mind - all thanks to the healing powers of sex. Next time you're in the mood let her know you've got the doctor on your side!

The sun's rays are a major source of vitamin D and help the body's systems acquire much needed calcium for building healthy bones. However, most people don't need to spend large amounts of time exposed to the sun in order to get their required amount of vitamin D.

Now we know how bones can be made stronger, but how is this process affected by menopause? The loss of estrogen due to menopause or possibly surgical removal of the ovaries can accelerate bone loss for a period of up to 8 years. It is well established that replacing that estrogen helps protect against the risk of osteoporosis.

For those who are lactose intolerant calcium and vitamin D supplementation is even more important because it will be difficult to get the daily requirement through diet alone. Mineralization is a key objective of every body. Imagine if we all had flabby bones. The world would look like a Salvador Dali nightmare. Vitamin D saves us from having flabby bones.

Nine Facts About Fiber

If you've been looking for a way towards a high octane diet, you'll find fiber to be exactly what
you need. Even though research has shown fiber to be powerful, many people aren't taking this nutrient seriously.

To help you fuel your health with fiber, here are 10 facts to help.

1. Fiber fights diseases. A diet high in fiber can help to prevent colon cancer and heart disease. High fiber helps the body to eliminate cholesterol by binding it in the digestive tract. For thousands of years, fiber has been used to stop constipation.

2. Fiber can actually help with overeating. All high fiber foods will take longer to chew and digest, making you feel satisfied longer

3. Most popular foods don't have enough fiber. If you like the more popular foods, you probably need to increase your intake of fiber.

4. Grains offer the most fiber. Dietary fiber is actually plant matter that we cannot digest. The best sources are whole grains and concentrated grain products.

5. Kids need fiber as well. Children that are older than 2 years of age should consume a daily intake of fiber. Kids are most receptive to fiber found in fruits, vegetables, and even fortified breakfast cereals.

6. More fiber needs more water. In order to keep fiber moving through your digestive tract, you'll need to consume a lot of water. With your diet of fiber, you'll need eight or more glasses of water every day.

7. Fiber cannot be cooked out. When you cook your fruits and vegetables, don't worry about cooking the fiber out, as it stays. The fiber found in fruits and vegetables aren't just in the skin or in the peel.

8. You can get enough fiber. If you eat more than 50 grams of fiber in a day, you can get diarrhea and bloating, which can interfere with your body's absorption of other key minerals.

9. Getting the right amount of fiber in your diet doesn't have to be hard. Even though you may think so, getting the amount of fiber you need isn't very hard to do. All you have to do is eat the right foods and you'll be well on your way to a fiber rich lifestyle.

As one of the key ingredients to healthy eating, fiber is something you don't want to skip. Fiber can serve many different purposes, which were covered above. If you aren't getting enough fiber in your diet - you should do something about now instead of waiting until it is too late.

A Healthy Diet Can Boost your Fertility and Help You Concieve

by Tawasha Cowan

Trying to conceive is the simplest thing for some and seemingly impossible for others. Learn good eating habits that can help you conceive! Diet plays a major role in fighting ovulatory infertility. Read on to find out if you are on the right track with a "'baby making diet". And don't forget to try one these conception friendly recipes!

1. Avoid Trans Fats Because trans fats don't spoil they can be found in many artery-clogging fats. For example stick margarine, vegetable shortening, packages cookies, fast food French fries, doughnuts, and many other foods. Trans fats can prevent you from ovulating by depressing ovulation. These fats also fuel inflammation which can cause heart disease, stroke, diabetes and may also affect fertility.

2. Eat More Veggies When we think of protein, most of us think of lean meats and fish. Not too many of us think of beans. And what shame, because beans are a fantastic source of protein, fiber and minerals. Studies indicate that plant based proteins versus animal based protects against ovulatory infertility. Try this recipe for Black Bean Chili:

* 4 large poblano peppers

* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)

* 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped

* 1 large onion, chopped

* 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated

* Salt and freshly ground black pepper

* 2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained of half their liquid

* 2 tablespoons (a large palmful) chili powder

* 2 teaspoons (about half a palmful) ground cumin

* 1/2 teaspoon allspice (eyeball it)

* 1 bottle dark lager beer, such as Negro Modelo

* 1 15-ounce can (or half a 28-ounce can) crushed fire-roasted tomatoes

* 2 cups beef or vegetable stock (use vegetable to make it vegetarian)

* Hot sauce, to taste

* 1/2 cup sour cream, for garnish

* 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish

Heat broiler to high. Char the poblanos under the broiler so their skins blacken, 7-8 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand 10 minutes. Once the peppers have cooled enough to handle, peel and seed them, then roughly chop them up and set them aside. Place a medium-size pot over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons EVOO, about two turns of the pan. Add the jalapeño, onion and garlic to the pan, and cook 6-7 minutes, until the veggies are tender. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then add in the beer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook a few minutes to reduce the liquid by half, then add the black beans and their liquid, the chopped poblanos, spices, crushed tomatoes and stock. Bring up to a bubble, then reduce the heat and simmer to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper as needed. Serve the chili up and pass around hot sauce, sour cream, and cilantro at the table to top it with. (Recipe Courtesy of Rachel Ray)

3. Don't Skim on the Milk The "Got Milk" and "Milk Your Diet" commercials are more than just a gimmick. Studies show that one to two daily servings of whole milk or whole milk products - like ice cream (yippee) - can help protect against fertility, while skim milk and similar product do the opposite.

Delicious Tuna Recipes

by Andrew Burt

Tuna fish are a nutrient rich source of food. They are packed full of high quality protein and are rich in minerals such as selenium, magnesium and potassium. They also contain vitamins B1 and B6 and most importantly essential Omega 3 fatty acids.

Essential fatty acids are called Essential because the body cannot make these on their own. Essential fatty acids need to be included and introduced into a healthy diet through eating foods which are rich in these such as tuna.

Tuna is one of the worlds best loved fish. Although canned tuna is delicious and nutritious, if you have never eaten fresh tuna you have been missing out on a pure culinary delight. Fresh tuna retains more of the beneficial Omega 3 than canned tuna.

Healthy Ways to Lose Weight

by Crizza Reyes

The healthiest way to lose weight is neither crash diets nor bursts of exercise. The body likes slow changes in terms of food and exercise. Well, getting back into shape is one very popular resolution. With winter approaching many people go into hibernation mode over the holidays only to realize that they've packed on a few pounds once January rolls around.

Nowadays, many people today are overweight, while a sizable number are categorized as obese. The majority of overweight people want to lose weight and want a sensible approach, using dietary changes and some form of exercise to achieve their goal. If you are looking for a healthy way to lose weight consider that you are going to need not only a diet change but a lifestyle change as well.

In fact, each day it seems that we are shown a new and effective way to get scraggy promptly. On television and in magazines there are myriad advertisements for pills and programs that guarantee amazing results. The real problem with many of these products and plans is that they are almost impossible to follow for any length of time. A healthy way to lose weight needs to include a balanced diet along with exercise. This will result in lasting results. An effective and healthy way to lose weight should consist of a loss of a pound or two a week.

Hence, there are dozens of programs that sell boxed foods in precise portions yielding just so many calories and low in fat. As well as exercise programs, machines, belts, gyms, supplements. Apparently, since these products and services are booming, people want to lose weight and realize healthy foods are better for them. People also know exercise burns calories. So it sure enough that it can makes sense to practice these principles in order to succeed.

But, aside from this the trouble is, with so many food programs expressing one diet component over others, such as the "low carb" diet, "high fiber" it's difficult to know which is best for you. Ditto for exercise programs. How can you determine a healthy way to lose weight that works for you?

They say that, what you eat is incredibly important when you are trying to shrink your waistline. There are certain foods that you'll need to exclude from your diet. Anything that contains fat should be taken out of your menu plans. Instead turn to fruits and vegetables, lean meats and low fat dairy products as the staples of your meals. You should remember first, the bottom line is calories. A healthy way to lose weight requires that your food choices contain the scope of nutrients required for good health with sufficient calories to allow you to lose weight slowly. Losing weight too instantly is stressful on your heart, may result in sagging skin, and typically does not lead to a permanent loss.

As far as you are concerned on what you eat, getting up and moving more is also a key to getting into shape. For someone who hasn't been active this can prove even more challenging than changing your eating habits. However a healthy way to lose weight definitely calls for some form of exercise.

You should consider your age, state of health, and general tone of muscle when choosing forms of exercise. If you've got arthritis, jogging probably isn't your best choice. Aerobic or Pilates exercises may work best for you. Bicycling and swimming use almost every muscle in your body and so are among the most beneficial in a program of a healthy way to lose weight. It's essential that you choose something you enjoy. If it's not enjoyable, you won't keep up with it and be more likely to give up on the entire effort.

One of the best exercise to consider is walking because it can be an easy and inexpensive way to get your heart rate up and burn calories. You can start with a few minutes a day and work your way up to thirty minutes, three or four times a week. When the weather isn't cooperative hitting the gym for some time on the treadmill will keep you on the path to lose weight.

Another one here is willpower that seems to be something that many people want. This is especially true if you happen to frequent fast food restaurants or enjoy a candy bar every now and again. It's a good idea to remember that not only will you look fantastic but you'll be healthier as well once the extra pounds are gone. Despite the fact that, this is important to you, when you use a healthy way to lose weight your family will thank you for it. Use their love as your willpower.

Fortunately, before set about on any diet and exercise program, make a visit with your physician to be sure you're on the right track for your particular condition. Get your doctor's opinion on the number of calories you propose, the amount of weight you want to lose and your time frame. Your doctor can review foods you may want to avoid due to medical conditions. Armed with a customized program of your healthy way to lose weight, you're very likely to succeed.

It may seem like these are problems to worry about in the future, but time flies by and tomorrow becomes today. By keeping your weight in the healthy range, you are less likely to be troubled by illnesses in your later years.

What is the Best Diet for Me?

by Gareth Black

Dieting is one of the two major factors to be implemented to achieve successful and permanent weight loss. The other factor to be taken into account is to embark on a regular exercise program of about an hour's duration each day.


The medical profession together with nutritionists insist that both diet change and regular exercises are vital for losing weight. Whilst one or the other will help with weight loss, the best results are obtained when both aspects of a weight reduction program are carried out together.

For one individual on a diet within a family, then preparing food may present problems. It would be far easier for the food preparer to give each person the same food, not only from the aspect of the food preparation, but also from the aspect of the whole family being seen to be supporting the dieter.

So for the overweight person who wants to diet, the big question is: "Which diet do I choose for the best way to lose weight?"

Of the multitude of diets in magazines, on the net, and on TV, which one should a person use? How can a person evaluate each diet to determine if it will work and if it's likely to get better results than another diet? How can scams be avoided?

Suggestions for helping to choose the right diet follow. Do plenty of research. Ask questions. Draw up a list of the pros and cons of each diet. Be aware of the expenses involved in buying particular food for a diet and any difficulty and time taken in preparation.

(1) Have a look at your national and local government websites for health/weight loss/dieting pages. Most such web sites these days give advice on where to find articles of interest and possibly where to find a range of diets.

(2) Check with your health care professional. He may have information about diets and dieting distributed by local hospitals. Hospitals have an interest in keeping the local people healthy - it makes their operation cheaper and easier.

(3) Have a look in your local newsagent/magazine store/bookstore/library for magazines/books with diets published by a reputable health organization.

(4) The weekly magazines have diet recipes. Again select a diet backed by a reliable health organization. Keep away from diets promoted by food companies - they might be pushing their own products. Choose a diet with easy-to-prepare meals and something the whole family will eat.

(5) Check the popular talk shows on TV - the latest 'fad diets' or 'super weight loss pill' are always mentioned. Be careful here - some of the products on these shows are there because money has been paid not because they're good or they work. And don't believe the line that the show's host has successfully tested the product.

A well-balanced diet should contain enough of the necessary protein, carbohydrates, and the right sort of fats, as well as adequate minerals and trace elements. Because of this its advisable to select a diet recommended by the health professionals rather than one of the 'fad diets'. So stick with the professionals and follow their advice.

The right diet not only helps to achieve weight loss permanently, but also ensures that the dieter is getting enough of the right vitamins and trace minerals in the right quantities. So the importance of selecting the right diet is critical not only for weight loss but also for maintaining good health.

For those people who are well overweight then constant monitoring of the situation by either a doctor or a nutritionist would be advisable.

The right diet is only one aspect of a program to achieve permanent weight loss, the other part being to start a regular exercise routine, with the emphasis being on 'regular' to achieve any degree of success. Dieting on its own will result in weight reduction, but when combined with regular exercises, the amount of weight loss will be considerably greater.

Fat Loss Diets - Tips For Dieting

by Christine Patterson

Losing weight is not only helps to improve the way that you look, but also it is important to improving your health and quality of life. By reducing your body weight by 10% you will substantially reduce your chances of developing diabetes, heart disease, and even joint problems. For a woman that weighs 165 pounds a 10% weight reduction would only be about 16.5 pounds. This reduction will help you feel better about yourself, it will help you drop a dress size or two, and it will help you enjoy your life.

Why Most Diets Fail


Most fad diets fail because they create negative biological effects within your body. Starvation diets that reduce your daily caloric intake too much will actually cause you to hold onto fat and extra body mass by lowering your rate of metabolism and by triggering your body's starvation defense mechanisms. Fad diets that reduce your food choices to only one or two food groups are also unhealthy, and they will ultimately fail because they starve your body by not providing it with adequate amounts of nutrients, minerals, and fats that it needs to operate and function properly. As your body runs out of the stored elements it will trigger a craving that will encourage you to eat foods that have the nutrients that it needs. These craving, unfortunately, will kill you diet as once you start eating the restricted foods you won't be able to stop.

In addition to nutritional concerns that fad diets pose, unbalanced diets also impact the way that you feel, and your ability to function normally. With too few calories, and too few nutrients your moods will swing to the dark side, and people will not want to be around you. This could negatively impact your ability to function at work, to socialize with others, or to take part in your family's activities.

Set Reasonable Goals


Now that you know that unbalanced diets, staving yourself, fad diets, and diet pills are not the answer to your weight issues, you are in a good place to start eating in a way that will promote a healthy weight, and that will still allow you to eat like a real person. When deciding to lose weight you should sit down with yourself and truly identify weight loss and fitness goals that are reasonable for you to achieve, remembering that not everyone is designed to be 110 pounds and a size 2. Your body type, bone structure and size, and your muscle mass will determine what weight you should be. As you start losing weight you will start to get an idea of what weight range you feel the most comfortable at, and most importantly which weight ranges that you feel the healthiest at.

Set short-term and long-term weight loss goals.


For example, week one I will lose 2-3 pounds (short-term goal), and by July 31 I want to be 20 pounds lighter (long-term goal.) This brings me to another important point, don' expect to lose 10 pounds overnight. The diets that claim that they can give you this kind of result are either lying to you, or they are putting your health at risk. The liquid diets that have become popular in the last several years that promise if you drink only their juice diet drink for two days that you will lose 10 pounds, are basically providing you with a 48 hour fast. While you may lose 5 to 10 pounds with this diet, it will be from the loss of water weight and the cleansing of the contents from your bowel and intestines, and not actually from losing fat.

Losing Weight Safely


Safe and healthy eating programs should provide you with an average weight loss of about 1-2 pounds per week. Weight loss at his rate is more likely to stay off, than weight that is lost at faster rates through unhealthy methods. You should also be prepared to hit weight loss plateaus. These plateau periods will be frustrating and they may make you want to give up, but don't. These phases are times that your body needs to readjust to your new body composition and metabolism rates. You may notice that during this time that even though you won't lose any pounds, you will see your body toning and firming.

Fish oil

Fish oil is oil derived from the tissues of fatty fishes. This oil naturally contains the Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Fish oil is now recommended for a healthy diet. It is beneficial to eat fish once a week (or more) but care must be taken to avoid the fish species which contain the toxin mercury or other contaminants such as Chlordane.

The list of fish includes: Largemouth Bass, Sturgeon, and others such as Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, and Tilefish. Note that these species are often predators, which can accumulate toxins due to their position at the top of the food chain.
