Forget about starving yourself or going on a fad diet. We’ve got super-easy ways for you to fit into your jeans next month. By Nicole Adolphe
Foods to live by
We asked nutritionist Kira Sutherland what to feast on.
1. Bring on full fat
You may have spent last year drinking only skim milk, avoiding cheese and eating diet yoghurts, but aren’t you still the same size? “Don’t be afraid to eat some full-fat foods,” says Sutherland. “Often fat-free foods contain artificial sweetener or lots of sugar to replace the fat.” The fat in foods helps make you feel satisfied, so you don’t overeat. It’s better to have one scoop of full-fat ice cream and feel satisfied than eat a huge bowl of low-fat ice-cream.

Tart apple and spicy cinnamon can sure get your taste buds tapping. But help control your blood sugar, too?
It very well might. Turns out that a daily dose of cinnamon may help improve insulin receptivity — an important part of blood sugar control. Slip a little more cinnamon into your day with a Double Apple Cinnamon Smoothie (recipe below).
A Little Does a Lot
You may need only a little bit of cinnamon — as little as a quarter teaspoon a day — to reap blood sugar rewards. Just don’t overdo it — highly unlikely with a typical diet, but loading up via supplements could be toxic. Another cinnamon bonus: When you add it to high-glycemic-index foods, it can help lessen their impact on your blood sugar.

Fruit juices have been slammed for being high in carbs and low in fiber. But get ready for a surprise: They do have redeeming qualities for your health.
Fruit juice has become the Britney Spears of the grocery store, typically scoffed at by those old enough to remember a time before ultra-low-rise jeans. Between being called liquid sugar by the anti-carb crowd and being blamed for the rising obesity rate among kids, it would seem that juices are simply not worth swallowing. (In fact, their sales dropped 1.4 percent between 2002 and 2003, the first decline in more than 6 years, according to a recent report by www.marketresearch.com.) And mainstream nutritionists promote the whole fruit over juice for its fiber and pulp. But the truth is, some fruit juices do deserve a place at your table because of their nutrients and powerful disease-fighting properties.

Chocolate, Cheese, Meat, and Sugar — Physically Addictive Foods
Filed Under Health videos, Healthy Eating, Healthy Food, Nutrition | 3 Comments
Neal Barnard MD discusses the science behind food additions. Willpower is not to blame: chocolate, cheese, meat, and sugar release opiate-like substances. Dr. Barnard also discusses how industry, aided by government, exploits these natural cravings, pushing us to eat more and more unhealthy foods. A plant-based (vegan) diet is the solution to avoid many of these problems. Neal Barnard is the founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)

Brazil nut a day good for health
Filed Under Health, Health News, Miscellaneous | 3 Comments
Image via WikipediaOne brazil nut a day is enough to raise the average people’s selenium intake to internationally recommended levels and eating two could lead to added health benefits, according to the research.
However, too much of the micronutrient can be toxic and people should be careful to limit themselves to no more than a few nuts a day.
Today the nuts were a simple, effective and relatively low-cost way for people to boost their levels of the essential micronutrient.
“There is mounting evidence that a marginal selenium status can lead to an increased risk for a range of conditions, including cancer and cardiovascular disease,” Prof Thomson said.

At Last! A Natural Remedy To Acne
Filed Under Acne, Asthma, Skin Care | 5 Comments
If you already have acne, you don’t really need an explanation of what it is. If you do need to find out what acne is, you can find that information everywhere online. What you are probably more concerned about is why you have it or what caused it and how do you get rid of it.
There are many theories out there about the cause of acne, but the one I feel hits the spot is hormonal imbalance, partially because of when acne occurs. It usually first occurs during puberty when hormones are making huge changes in the body — and it happens in women during their menstrual cycle and also when pregnant or going through menopause. All of these things are hormonal events.
