Reduce Your Healthcare costs!

Posted on February 22, 2012 by eatingve

 If you want to avoid paying out your hard earned money to a doctor or healthcare provider regularly then you may want to attempt to take much better care of yourself through exercise and diet.

  • Keep yourself in decent physical condition. Becoming more active helps to reduce your odds of heart disease and diabetes. Being fit does a lot for a person’s self-esteem while making you more sexually attractive!  
  • Eat whole grain foods.  The fiber and real nutrition of whole grain is needed to regulate digestive functions while providing fuel for energy. If you must eat wheat product then please make sure it is made of 100% whole grain.
  • Keep well hydrated. Start your day with 12 ounces of lemon water and drink liquids often throughout the day. A teaspoon of lemon juice will make your water alkaline while cleansing the body of toxins.
  • Eat good fats. Fatty fish, walnuts, pecans and raw almonds are healthy foods that supply the good Omega-3 fats into the body. I like to concentrate on eating foods are full of Omega-3 fats that are high in DHA.
  • Consume a wide variety of veggies and fruits every day. Eating a diet high in plant foods can lower your risk of developing several forms of Cancer. By eating so many veggies every day, you will begin to burn body fat for fuel, lose weight and lower your odds of developing type 2 diabetes.
  • Focus on raw alkaline foods and pH balanced meals. Follow an alkaline foods chart that assists in planning ph balanced meals that will boost immunity against disease. Fill your plate with alkaline foods at every meal and watch your whole life begin to change!

 A high alkaline diet will add needed fiber to your diet while nourishing your cells with energizing phytonutrients. Optimize your health by eating an abundance of alkaline veggies and fruits daily! Learn to avoid disease at Eating-Veggies.com

Hot Peppers Boost Metabolism

Posted on February 19, 2012 by eatingve

 As Hispanic foods become more and more popular with cultural change, Americans are incorporating various changes in cooking style. Among some of the more popular changes is the use of hot peppers. These foods are known for speeding up your metabolism and making your meals tasty. They work by increasing your heart rate. As you eat them, you can feel the sweat begin to form on your face and head and often becomes a most pleasurable feeling! Eat your fat burning High Alkaline meals with a little bit (or more) of spicy peppers!

 

  • Serrano peppers: The flavor of this pepper is five times hotter than the Jalapeno pepper they resemble, and they are typically eaten raw. Serrano peppers are commonly used in making a variety of sauces and salsa.

 

  • Jalapenos: These extremely popular peppers contain a chemical called capsaicin, which not only gives peppers their pungent flavor but speeds up the heart rate and boosts the metabolism. Jalapenos are milder than most peppers while adding great flavor to meals and snacks.

 

  • Banana Pepper: You can find this pepper fresh in your local produce section or pickled in jars.It is often used as an ingredient in sandwiches or salads. It is not very hot and can be tolerated by small children.

 

  • Habaneros: These peppers are extremely hot! They are found both fresh and dried in spicy foods. Great flavor but it really brings some kick. Go to your favorite Mexican eatery and check this one out for yourself!

 

  • Scotch Bonnet: This chile is almost identical to the habanero, except that it’s a bit smaller. It’s very popular in the Caribbean style cooking and can be found in your local grocer bottled as a pepper sauce!

 

  • Cayenne chilies: This pepper is popular in America and found in most kitchens. It is commonly ground into cayenne pepper, a typical ingredient in a spicy meal. 

 

  • Poblano Pepper: Poblano Peppers are usually used in sauces, salsas, and stuffing mixes. I have seen them around the Atlanta restaurant scene stuffed with cheddar cheese or cream cheese. Many folks will roast them in the oven or better yet, try putting them on the grill! Just coat them in olive oil and flip them over after two minutes.

 Check out this recipe for fat-burning coffee!

A study done in the late 1980’s found that eating a single spicy meal can boost your metabolism by up to 25 percent, with the effect of calorie burning lasting for up to 3 hours after the meal. Another study at Laval University in Quebec, Canada found that men who drank coffee AND ate red pepper-packed snacks and meals were able to burn nearly 1,000 more calories a day than a control group.

Sodium, Fried Foods and the Mall Food Court

Posted on February 13, 2012 by eatingve

FREE Info: Beat High Blood Pressure with Alkaline foods

 It is no secret that the #1 killer of people in America is Heart Disease. If you haven’t noticed all of the big belly people walking around the shopping malls on the weekends then you need to open your eyes! High blood pressure is a serious issue that most people just seem to ignore. This is a subject that I’ve grown up around. It sort of goes with the territory down here in the Deep South. My Grandma always said that we had to cut down on salt so that we wouldn’t be sick as we got older. Well, everyone got older and no one really reduced their salt intake and now most everyone in the family has a blood pressure problem.

 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration should and needs to regulate the amount of salt added to foods to help Americans cut their high sodium intake, which can lead to high blood pressure, kidney failure and strokes. This kind of regulation is needed because Americans get most of their salt from processed and restaurant food, and telling them to eat less salt has not worked. Most American families have one or more members with high blood pressure and it especially ravages African-American families and has so for many generations.

 We as a nation eat way too much sodium. People only need no more than 1,500 mg of salt a day to maintain bodily functions, but the average American eats more than 3,400 milligrams a day, or the equivalent of 1.5 teaspoons of salt. Take personal responsibility to avoid eating fast foods and frozen foods as these are the biggest culprits in the world of high sodium foods. The choice belongs to you. Teach your family members about the dangers of eating too much sodium. We need to do more to restrict companies from adding unneeded sodium to our foods. A good friend of mine refers to these businesses as “high sodium pimps”! Of course if you have stock invested in one of the billion dollar drug companies or maybe you own a fried food eatery at the local mall food court then you are pretty happy watching the overweight and diabetic folks give you their money every day! Beat diabetes and high blood pressure with alkaline foods

Alkaline Foods Encourage Good Health

Posted on February 9, 2012 by eatingve

 FREE Information on Alkaline Eating!

 The only way that we are going to beat today’s epidemic of disease is to start eating much better. Many people make it more difficult than what it really is. And why do they make it so hard? Because they refuse to accept responsibility for their own health. Becoming healthy and burning excess fat is simply a matter of making choices. YOU have to make the decision to control your blood glucose levels through diet and not rely entirely on prescription drugs. Eating an abundance of alkaline veggies and fruit everyday is a matter of personal choice. You can’t think ” oh, I’ll make up for it next time”. This only leads to a series of dietary failures, which then leads to you giving up. Start planning your next meal NOW and you will reduce your need for excuses.

 Always keep fresh fruit in your fridge for snacking or better yet… breakfast. I believe in eating fruit in the morning after the overnight fast. I got this from a book I read years ago by Harvey Diamond: “Fit for Life”. It was an excellent read. Learning about benefits of natural hygiene has helped me to lose over 95 pounds without going hungry. When you cut way back on starches like wheat, rice and potatoes while increasing your consumption of alkaline veggies, your body naturally begins to use excess body fat as an energy source. A high alkaline foods diet will cleanse your digestive system, nourish your cells and begin to burn excess body fat for energy.

 Become a salad fanatic and be extremely creative with your salads. If you ever visit a good salad bar, see how many different veggies you can use in your salad. One of my personal goals daily is to eat over 1/2 of my food in the form of raw food. This way I can get plenty of the live phytonutrients necessary to keep my body young and healthy. Eat veggies abundantly, even if they are cooked. Cooked veggies are better than no veggies at all. Always eat several servings of non-starchy vegetables at every meal. Pick brightly colored veggies but don’t forget the green ones. Eat this way for 30 days and you will become a believer in eating a high alkaline food diet. Know the difference between Acid and Alkaline foods

How to Increase Nitric Oxide Levels

Posted on January 28, 2012 by eatingve

 Nitric oxide is needed in the body to increase blood flow through the arteries by relaxing the artery walls which allows for them to expand. This increases blood flow to ALL parts of the body which nourishes the cells. This may be an effective way to treat high blood pressure. Increased NO in the blood may also have the ability to reduce plaque on artery walls. Be sure to discuss it with your healthcare provider for better knowledge concerning your health.

 INCREASE THE NITRIC OXIDE IN YOUR BLOOD

 You would be best exercising if you want to increase nitric oxide in the bloodstream. Consistent exercise increases blood flow and sets into motion the production of NO by your endothelial cells located on the artery walls. An overall healthy diet high in antioxidant foods contribute greatly to the increased production of NO along with aerobics or weight lifting. Get Healthy and beat Heart disease with alkaline foods 

To your good health,

NINE FAMOUS VEGGIE FOOD EATERS

Posted on January 20, 2012 by eatingve

 Eating a vegetarian diet can optimize your health and really have an effect on the way you think and feel. If you want to eat a small amount of meat then try this option: try considering the high alkaline style of eating. Eat a diet of 50-80% alkaline foods everyday while keeping your meat consumption to a minimum. This will help you make the final step to vegetarianism much easier.

 According to the American Dietetic Association, several research studies point to the health benefits of working meatless meals into the American eating style. The major benefit would be to help lower the risk for heart disease, diabetes and many forms of cancers. It has reached a point where we must eat less processed meats and grains and a whole lot more veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds.

  1. FOREST WHITAKER: An Academy award and Golden Globe winner who said that becoming a vegetarian is one of the best choices that he ever made.  
  2. CARRIE UNDERWWOOD: Country music superstar, American Idol winner and avid vegetarian who keeps her eating style to herself because it’s not popular with fans in farming regions.  
  3. RICKY WILLIAMS: Heisman trophy winner and professional football star with the Baltimore Ravens. Williams practices Hinduism and is a strict vegetarian.
  4. SAMUEL JACKSON: Award winning superstar actor. He is also a human rights activist and vegetarian.
  5. RUSSEL SIMMONS: Founder of Def Jam records. His entrepreneurial efforts have earned him hundreds of millions of dollars. He is also a devout Yoga student and Vegan. Won’t eat anything that can run from him.
  6. SHANIA TWAIN: Country music star and committed vegetarian. Her favorite food is pasta, and she says, “I eat a lot of tofu, and I drink soy shakes with fruit every morning. I always have soybeans, black beans, or chickpeas for lunch or dinner.”
  7. PRINCE: Pop music mega-star who is an avid vegetarian. This is due mostly to growing up as a Seventh Day Adventist. Seventh Day Adventists believe deeply in a non animal diet and have been documented as being far healthier than most Americans.
  8. ANGELA BASSETT: She snacks on grapes, celery, egg whites and practices the raw food diet. “I try to eat healthy, but I won’t get on other people’s nerves about it. If you want to eat bacon, I’m OK with that.”
  9. ALICIA SILVERSTONE:- Alicia switched from a “steak and doughnut diet” to a vegan lifestyle to cure her asthma and insomnia. She is now 34 and says she sleeps like a baby, doesn’t worry about her weight and has tons of energy.

 

 Eating a vegan diet is an effective way to keep your diet alkaline and while giving your body the true nutrients it needs to survive. If you’re not ready to make that meatless, dairy and egg-free leap then maybe you should look into how a High Alkaline food diet can help bridge the gap to vegetarianism. Eating 50-80% of your diet in the form of alkaline food  every day will steer you away from disease and low energy while boosting the power of your immune system.

Veggies and fruits contain many of the phytochemicals, antioxidants and nutrients known to keep cancer in check. This is the foundation for eating a alkaline food diet.

A high alkaline diet helps the body to maintain the pH levels needed to operate effeciently. Cancer tumors grow much slower in a alkaline enviroment and flourish in an acid enviroment. This is good incentive to eat a diet high in vegetables and other alkaline plant foods. This method of eating is recommended if your family has a history of cancer. A diet of 50-80% alkaline foods eaten daily is an effective anti-cancer diet. Remember, a diet high in vegetables and fruits is endorsed by the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association.

 Set yourself a daily goal of eating roughly 50-75% of your food as alkaline food. If you do decide to eat a diet high in alkaline foods, you can sneak a few of your favorite acid foods into your meal plan. The plan is to consistently eat lots of veggies to boost your immune system and fight cancer before it starts. Eat fruit in the morning and have a big green salad at lunch to jumpstart your daily alkaline food eating style. Work in two-three servings of veggies at dinner and you just ate alkaline.

Eating Healthy through the Holidays!

Posted on December 20, 2011 by eatingve

 This is the time of year that we tend to get away from our healthy eating habits and start gaining back the weight that you worked so very  hard to lose. The delectably sinful temptations set before you are not only on your dinner table but also are found in the refrigerator, cupboards and kitchen cabinets and can be made available all day long. This lends itself to daily snacking and poor food choices. Being a formerly obese man, this is a difficult time for me. I gain weight EASILY and am not ashamed of my lust for good food. For me also, it becomes a matter of making the RIGHT food choices every time I open my mouth.

 The key to making it through this minefield of good eats is to consume as many vegetable and fruit filled plates as possible. A lot of your food choices are just common sense, like restricting the amount of my egg nog intake (with or without alcohol) or keeping the heaping portions of Mac and cheese to a one serving maximum. For me the problem really lies with starchy carbs like rice, potatoes and gravy or crème-filled cakes. Anything that my body can easily convert to glucose and eventually body fat needs to be monitored. Eating a wide variety of veggies everyday keeps me full and allows me to indulge in a little “culinary sin”.

 If you stick to the plan of eating a high alkaline diet, you will make it through the holiday season with little or no weight gain and your self esteem will stay intact. Don’t stay away from the foods you love. Just remember that you are a healthy person with human desires and eating a couple of slices of your sister-in-laws sweet potato pie is alright. It’s rude to not try a little and it is important that you enjoy life. Raw veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds are the true medicine for keeping a healthy and fit body. We need to incorporate much more of these foods into our lifestyle and began to reap the benefits! Stay focused on your veggies and your dream of looking good in well fitted jeans.
