Top Ten Worst Drinks
Natalie counts down the 10 worst drinks. Chances are if you eat an average American diet, you drank at least three of these today.
In a fast food nation, eating healthy food becomes difficult to do. Yet a poor diet contributes to low energy, obesity, stress, health problems and high medical bills.
If you eat better, you will feel better and this video discusses some of the foods you should avoid.

Cotyledons and endosperm both provide nutrition. What is the difference between these two?
a. Endosperm is only found in monocots and cotyledons are found in dicots.
b. Endosperm provides nutrition for the developing embryo and cotyledon(s) provide nutrition for the young seedling.
c. Cotyledons are always photosynthetic and endosperm is not.
d. Cotyledon(s) provide nutrition for the developing embryo and endosperm provides nutrition for the young seedling.
e. Cotyledons are found in flowering plants and endosperm is found in young ferns.
D) I do believe
Can anyone think of a good name for an all-natural health and beauty product line like Burt’s Bees?
I need a fake product line for a story I’m writing. Anyone have any ideas?
Um, you could do a parody of Burt’s Bees (if it’s a comedy or something funnyish) and do something like Bob’s Wasps or something….
If it’s a dead serious novel or you just don’t like parodies then you could call it just anything practically. Like Apple Jake. That’s natural. Or Jillian Pear. Whatever ingredient is main.
i have discovered a grey hair in my little kids’s head. they are 6 & 4..why ? is it nutrition related?
I experienced that also… actually my brothers do have that problem…. My mom adviced them to eat more green leafy vegetabes…. or green vegetables… yes it has something to do with health when you see white or grey hair in 4 or 6 years old… Hair Production needs protein or keratin which is found in lentils beans etc… try to visit the site i gave you and scroll down a little bit to know where you can find good sources of protein…. Hope i helped…. God Bless!
What kind of healthy fish recipes can I use for the whole family?
I am needing to lose weight and lower my cholesterol and I know some fish are healthier than others. My son (7 yrs old) loves battered fish and my hubby hates fish. I heard there are some types of fish that are not as strong tasting as others. Can anyone give me some advice not only for recipe’s that are not only tasty and family friendly, but healthy as well.
Thanks!
get to know the person at the fish counter – they can provide a world of advice and normally they have some good recipes there for you as well. Stay away from anything battered – that is more cholesterol as most people do not heat or cook it at the right temperature (too high and it burns without cooking, too low and the oil is absorbed).
Baking fish is the best. If the son likes a crispy crust, coat it in flour, corn meal or breadcrumbs before baking. use little oil. Flavor with salt, garlic, lemon, pepper or whatever seasoning you normally enjoy. just enough to coat the front and back.
Types of fish: most white fish has a mild flavor. If your husband does not like the taste of salmon (which is good in omega 3 but has a distinct taste), try tuna. The most important is to get to know the fish person because since most fish are not served whole, you cannot tell how long it has been sitting in the counter. They can advise which ones have just been delivered. Stick with whitefish, cod, tilapia which are all mild in flavor.
What are your favorite foods and supplements from the health food store?

What makes them interesting?
Metamucil. It keeps the digestive system clean and clear between movements.
How can I improve my health without spending loads of money?
I already have pretty good health, for example I go to a gym regularly and buy my own health foods. But this does tend to be quite expensive at times. What can I do to save money but improve my health?
For optimal health, I advocate a low carb way of eating. As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn’t gain weight, no matter the calories, because insulin (the ONLY fat storage hormone) isn’t activated.
I personally believe in using fat as fuel instead of carbohydrates. Fat is totally benign in the absence of insulin. There aren’t enough calories in vegetables & fruits to fuel the body, if you get enough calories from carbs to fuel the body, then you maintain an almost constant high insulin level with roller coaster blood glucose levels. I recommend fats from butter, coconut, olives, nuts, fish & meats, chia seeds & flax seeds.
When you restrict higher carb, lower nutrition foods, it becomes much easier to greatly increase vegetables in your diet. Change your mindset just adapt it to low carb -
replace bread with lettuce
replace pasta with cabbage
replace rice with cauliflower
replace potatoes with brocolli
High carb levels trigger insulin which unbalance other hormones, promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones and allow sex hormones (testosterone in men) & human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean muscle will be gained even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase muscle mass with high HGH levels.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) trigger insulin which can store the calories eaten into fat. The more protein the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
Highly nutritious foods you should consider: sprouts, spirulina, paprika, turnip greens, mustard greens, kale, garlic, brewers yeast, raw almonds, ground flax seeds & chia seeds.
Paprika – 1 Tablespoon = 20 cal = 71% DV Vit.A – 8% DV Vit.C – 10% DV Vit.E – 14% DV Vit.B6 – 9% DV Iron & others way too many to list.
Brewer’s Yeast Powder – Two tblspns. provide a whole lot of nutrition! 158% RDA Chromium – 90% Selenium – 88% B2 – 80% B1 – 50% Copper – 50% Niacin – 40% B6 & others way too many to list. It tastes peanutty to me. I have been adding it to sesame butter, a lil raw honey, coconut cream & coconut oil, powdered whey and tastes like peanut butter to me!
Chia seeds sound so expensive but 1# will make 10# food – Amazon.com has couple lbs. for $16 shipped to you. I buy in bulk (24#) from getchia.com for $5.83# with free shipping.
Chia seeds – 3.5 oz is nearly 500 calories, half calories from fat (high in Omega3 fatty acids) 38g fiber 151%DV & 16grams of COMPLETE protein for 6grams carbs & 63% DV Calcium – 95% Phosphorus – 23% Zinc – 9% Copper – 108% Manganese.
Faux tapioca – 2 cups of water, 5 scoops of low carb whey protein powder, stir together & add cup of chia seeds, after they have started to absorb the water, add in 2 cans of coconut milk & sweetener if you like and mix it all in. Can be eaten after an hour but will be better tomorrow. Cream a pkg. of cream cheese into a can of pumpkin and add to the faux tapioca for an even more nutritious pumpkin pie pudding.
Ground flax seed (2-4 Tbsp) 1/4 cup water, sweetener, cinnamon & mix in a raw egg – let sit 10 min. to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle & nuke 2 minutes. Suggested for daily fiber needs.
I have been making a "porridge" every day lately as suggested by Dr.Mercola. A low carb whey powder & water, I add ground flax seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, coconut milk, tahini (ground sesame seeds) & raw egg. All seeds & nuts are raw & soaked to germinate them.
Flax seed – 3.5oz – 534 cal – 65% calories from fat (high in Omega3 fatty acids) for 2gram carb – 27g fiber 109%DV – 26% DV Calcium – 64% Phosphorus – 29% Zinc – 61% Copper – 124% Manganese – 36% Selenium – 98% Magnesium – 32% Iron – 110% Thiamin – 9% B2 Riboflavin – 15% B3 Niacin – 24% Vit.B6 – 22% Folate – 10% Vit.B5.- 39% Potassium
Raw nuts are living and full of the energy of life and should be capable of building a tree. Roasted nuts are dead & they may still provide some nutrients, but none can compare to the nutrients and enzymes from a live food.
Unfortunately, raw does not necessarily mean living.
For example – Commercially sold almonds are now required to be pasteurized turning a live food into a dead one. You can not sprout an almond that has been irradiated. I buy my almonds direct from growers off ebay. I get 20# for less than $3# including shipping.
Almonds- 3.5oz – 575 cal – 72% calories from fat for 10gram carb & 26% DV Calcium – 48% Phosphorus – 21% Zinc – 50% Copper – 114% Manganese – 4% Selenium – 67% Magnesium – 21% Iron – 14% Thiamin – 60% B2 Riboflavin – 17% B3 Niacin – 7% Vit.B6 – 12% Folate – 5% Vit.B5.- 131% Vit.E – Potassium 20%
Brazil Nuts- 3.5oz – 656 cal – 85% calories from fat for 4gram carb & 16% DV Calcium – 73% Phosphorus – 27% Zinc – 87% Copper – 61% Manganese – 2739%
