The Blood Pressure Cure: 8 Weeks to Lower Blood Pressure without Prescription Drugs

The Blood Pressure Cure: 8 Weeks to Lower Blood Pressure without Prescription Drugs 

In 1978, at age 35, medical journalist Kowalski (The 8-Week Cholesterol Cure) suffered a heart attack and later underwent two coronary bypass surgeries. Here, he relates how he lost weight, quit smoking, managed stress, lowered blood pressure and cholesterol levels and avoided medications and their side effects. Kowalski recommends ways to monitor blood pressure, combat the metabolic syndrome that leads to heart disease and diabetes (abdominal obesity, high cholesterol and triglycerides, insulin resistance, inflammation, etc.) and raise levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. He provides basic diet and exercise guidelines, details the components of proper electrolyte balance (sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium) and describes potent natural remedies, including arginine, pycnogenol and grapeseed extract. There are sections on children's health and risks and a review of current prescription drugs for those who must take them. Kowalski's use of clichés and case studies bogs down the text somewhat. Still, readers facing poor prognoses will gain a hopeful perspective on the future from the author's experiences.

The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition

The New Best Recipe: 

A literal encyclopedia of recipes (culled from the magazine), this revision to Cook's Illustrated's popular The Best Recipe is almost double in size and includes more than 1,000 recipes. Cook's Illustrated is known for careful (some would say compulsive) testing of recipes with a focus on foolproof technique; detailed line drawings that take readers step-by-step through recipes; and opinionated guides that assert that their way is the best way. This methodology appeals particularly to a specific kind of cook, one with a primarily scientific rather than artistic or intuitive approach to cooking. Though there are a few photographs, readers who buy cookbooks for full-color photographs and personal anecdotes aren't likely to be drawn to this work. Twenty-two chapters cover appetizers to desserts. Even the simplest tasks, such as blanching vegetables or peeling an egg, are explained and illustrated in detail. More involved techniques include brining poultry and roasting a turkey. Pad Thai gets a full-page description with photographs to help home cooks learn how to properly soak the noodles. Well organized and extremely clear, the book has only one drawback: its heft may make it tough to hoist onto kitchen counters.

Dairy foods could help prevent diabetes

A natural substance found in dairy products appears to protect against diabetes, say researchers.

Trans-palmitoleic acid is present in milk, cheese, yoghurt and butter but cannot be made by the body.

A study of over 3,700 people found higher levels of trans-palmitoleic acid was linked with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.

People with the highest levels cut their risk by 60%, Annals of Internal Medicine reports.

Lead author of the research, Dr Dariush Mozaffarian, said: "The magnitude of this association is striking.

"This represents an almost three-fold difference in risk of developing diabetes among individuals with the highest blood levels of this fatty acid."

"Milk and dairy foods can be high in fat, which if eaten in excess can contribute to weight gain. So it's advisable to choose lower-fat dairy foods instead”
Deepa Khatri of Diabetes UK

Recommended amounts

Deepa Khatri, clinical advisor at Diabetes UK, said: "People should not take the findings of this research as a reason to exceed the recommended portion amounts of dairy food in order to prevent their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

"Milk and dairy foods can be high in fat, which if eaten in excess can contribute to weight gain. So it's advisable to choose lower-fat dairy foods instead.

Experts say more research is needed to see whether these trans-palmitoleic acids can play a useful role in preventing Type 2 diabetes.

In the meantime, they recommend that all people, with or without diabetes, should have a healthy balanced diet, low in fat, salt and sugar with plenty of fruit and vegetables.

It is not recommended for people to increase their intake of any one food type in order to prevent their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

The latest work tracked the health of the study participants over a 20-year period.

The results showed that higher levels of trans-palmitoleic acid were associated with healthier levels of blood cholesterol, insulin levels and insulin sensitivity, even when other factors were taken into account.

Experts estimate type 2 diabetes affects more than 2.3m people in the UK. Up to half a million more Britons also have the condition but do not yet know it.

Risotto: Over 100 delicious 'little rice' recipes

Risotto: Over 100 delicious 'little rice' recipes


100 delicious 'little rice' recipes book is the one to have in your kitchen if you are an adventurer. This over 100 delicious 'little rice' recipes book can keep you busy for a year. It will teach you how to make a great risotto (not an easy task). There are resotti for every taste, from side dish to main dish to desert.

Risotto--that creamy rice dish from the north of Italy--is one of the world's perfect foods: rich yet digestible, soft yet chewy. When made with traditional Italian ingredients, it's heavenly. Yet Stacey and Hawkins (Steam Cuisine and Classic Vegetarian Recipes, respectively) feel the need to tamper with perfection by making all kinds of unorthodox risottos. Oriental Vegetable Risotto probably tastes fine, but why not make fried rice instead? And the flavors in Persian Lamb Risotto would probably go better with pilaf. The list of international partners goes on: Risotto Coq au Vin, Thai Coconut Risotto and Colcannon Risotto. Several recipes fail to take advantage of one of risotto's strong points--that it provides a one-dish meal--by instructing readers to cook an item separately and simply set it on the risotto once cooked; this is the case with White Fish Wraps with Mustard Risotto, and Risotto with Coriander Meatballs. Introductory information about risotto techniques is satisfactory, and there are some nontraditional winners here, including a brilliant Risotto Rosso featuring beets, a savory Rabbit Risotto with Mustard and Prunes and a chocolate-orange dessert risotto made by incorporating simmering milk rather than broth.

Foods That Help You Sleep Well At Night

Foods That Help You Sleep Well At Night - There are some foods that help you sleep well and avoid foods to help you sleep healthy.
If you have trouble sleeping, try these simple changes in your eating habits:
  • Eat a small snack several hours before bedtime. Hunger pangs can wake you up, so don't go to sleep hungry. Choose a small, healthy snack, such as a small bowl of oatmeal or cereal with low-fat milk, or yogurt with granola sprinkled on top.
  • Avoid large, high-fat meals before bed. A light snack is fine, but eating too much late in the evening can interfere with sleep.
  • Avoid heavy, spicy foods, especially if you're prone to heartburn. Eating too much may cause you to feel physically uncomfortable when lying down.
  • Don't drink too much liquid. Drinking lots of fluids before bed can cause you to wake up repeatedly to use the bathroom.
  • Avoid caffeine. A stimulant, caffeine increases the activity of your nervous system, which makes falling asleep more difficult. Avoid caffeinated beverages eight hours before your desired bedtime. Your body doesn't store caffeine, but it does take many hours for it to eliminate the stimulant and its effects.
  • Avoid alcohol. Although it may initially make you feel sleepy, alcohol prevents deeper stages of sleep and often causes you to awaken in the middle of the night.

The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why

The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why

A complete guide to the healthiest foods you can eat - and how to cook them!Why get your nutrients from expensive supplements when you can enjoy delicious, nourishing foods instead? From almonds to yucca, readers will find out what nutrients each of the 150 featured foods contains, what form contains the most nutrients, if it's been recommended to combat any diseases, where to find it, how to prepare it, and how much to eat - plus wonderful recipes using these sometimes obscure foods! Indexes by nutrient, by disease, and by food make finding what you need a snap, and the at-a-glance format makes the information as easy to digest as the foods themselves.

What should I eat to help me sleep?

It is important that your body be able to focus on rest and repair while you sleep, rather than on digestion. It is more important to gear your evening meal towards relaxation and good digestion than to consume any particular food or drink before bed. Try some of our delicious, easy to prepare recipes, for a healthy promoting evening meal. Your evening meal should:
  • emphasize low-to-medium glycemic index carbohydrates, such as whole-grain breads, rice, or pasta, yams, a mixed green salad, or lightly sautéed vegetables
  • include a small portion of a healthy fat-containing food, such as olive oil, avocado, or nuts or seeds or their oils or butters
  • include herb tea (especially chamomile or peppermint) or other non-stimulating water-based beverage
  • include only fresh, dried, or cooked fruit for dessert, if dessert is desired.
Your evening meal should be eaten about 4 hours before bedtime so that the main digestive effort is finished, but the energy from these foods can be released gradually throughout the night. If it is necessary for you to eat a snack at bedtime, choose one or two of the following:
  • small cup of herb tea or warm milk (soy, nut, or dairy)-not so much that you must wake up to use the restroom in the middle of the night
  • small serving of fresh or dried fruit
  • small handful of raw nuts or seeds

Brown Rice Health Benefits

The Health Benefits of Brown Rice

The health benefits of brown rice are legion. Brown rice is an excellent source of magnesium, iron, selenium, manganese, and the vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6. Brown rice is a good source of dietary fiber, protein, and gamma-oryzanol. White rice is brown rice that has had essential nutrients removed when processed in order to make it easier and faster to cook, and to give it a longer shelf life. This is accomplished by removing the bran, and with it, minerals and vitamins that are necessary in our diet.

Why Brown-But Not White-Rice is One of the World's Healthiest Foods
The difference between brown rice and white rice is not just color! A whole grain of rice has several layers. Only the outermost layer, the hull, is removed to produce what we call brown rice. This process is the least damaging to the nutritional value of the rice and avoids the unnecessary loss of nutrients that occurs with further processing. If brown rice is further milled to remove the bran and most of the germ layer, the result is a whiter rice, but also a rice that has lost many more nutrients. At this point, however, the rice is still unpolished, and it takes polishing to produce the white rice we are used to seeing. Polishing removes the aleurone layer of the grain-a layer filled with health-supportive, essential fats. Because these fats, once exposed to air by the refining process, are highly susceptible to oxidation, this layer is removed to extend the shelf life of the product. The resulting white rice is simply a refined starch that is largely bereft of its original nutrients.

Healthy Foods For Pregnant Women

Pregnant women need increased vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to ensure a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. A balanced diet incorporating a variety of foods from five basic food groups helps expecting mothers get all the nutritional value they require. There are a variety of healthy foods a pregnant woman should eat that contain vital nutrients.

Orange Juice

Orange juice is a food that all pregnant women should consider adding to the daily diet. This juice contains high levels of vitamin C, which is necessary for bone growth and repair, tissue repair, wound healing and healthy skin. The vitamin also helps the body produce collagen, a component of tendons, bones, cartilage and skin. Proponents report that deficient levels of vitamin C in newborns may cause impaired mental development.

Yogurt

Another healthy food pregnant women should eat is yogurt. Women need abundant amounts of protein and calcium during their pregnancies and yogurt contains high levels of each of these nutrients. The March of Dimes recommends that pregnant women consume 1,000mg per day of calcium. Yogurt has more calcium than milk, although the level of calcium fluctuates from brand to brand.



Dietitian Kate Geagan notes that calcium in the body goes to the developing fetus first, so if a pregnant woman eats insufficient amounts of calcium, she may suffer calcium depletion of her bones and teeth. Protein needs increase to 70g per day. Yogurt provides high levels of protein, and some Geek yogurts offer more protein than regular yogurts. In addition to protein and calcium, yogurt contain active cultures that decrease the risk of yeast infections, a common problem during pregnancy.

Broccoli

Broccoli, a healthy vegetable high in vitamin C and calcium, should find a place in a pregnant woman's diet. One cup of broccoli provides 205.7 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C and approximately seven percent of the recommended daily intake of calcium. Broccoli offers high levels of vitamin B6 and folate as well.
