Antioxidants inhibit Diabetes

 Excess sugar levels in the blood of diabetics and pre-diabetics damage arteries, kidneys, eyes, and the brain. One way to reduce this problem is to eat less sugar. But sugar is bi-i-i-i-ig business and billions are spent every year promoting and marketing sweets in every conceivable way..


 We now consume half-a-pound of sugar per day for every man, woman, and child in the nation. No wonder many folk you pass in the street have a crazed look in their eyes!!!
Much of the sugar added to our food is hidden in label schemes such as"grape juice concentrate", and "sweetened with fruit juice", and "corn syrup". All these are simply refined liquid sugars. And our tardy health authorities have yet to advise the public that refined sugar is every bit as big a health risk as fat.


 Their negligence has taken a toll. Pre-diabetes is now a epidemic in America, with all its attendant problems of blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, and early death. I know that diabetic damage from sugar occurs mainly by oxidation of fat molecules, to form toxic lipid peroxides. Numerous recent studies show that the antioxidant vitamin E can protect diabetic animals from this damage. It works by complex mechanisms that also appear to neutralize suagr directly, in addition to reducing peroxide formation.(Studies now show that it does the same for humans)


So even if you cant dodge all the sugar in your diet, anitoxidants can save you from a lot of its damaging effects..

Sugar: Brown, White, Hidden, and Deadly

  Chocolate, candy, cookies, and table sugar are obvious. But raw sugar, brown sugar, refined honey, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice concentrates, date sugar, and turbinado sugar are just as bad..


 So are fruit juices. Ounce for ounce, orange juice contains more sugar than Coca Cola. And sodas in general contain up to 10 teaspoons of sugar per serving. Why does sugar pile on body fat? Because its quick absorption into your blood stream causes an excess insulin burst from the pancreas. On reaching your liver, excess insulin (which is toxic) is converted to neutral triglycerides. Triglycerides are exactly the form of fats that are stored in all your adipose cells.

 So sugar not only loads you with excess calories that eventually turn to fat, but also causes the body to make even more fat from its own insulin. Replace as much of the simple sugars in your diet as you can with complex carbohydrates. Essentially these are whole grains and vegetables, as little processed as possible..

Those food labels are lying to you!!!

HIDDEN FATS!!!!!!!!!



  Many failed dieters believe they are following healthy low-fat nutrition, when in fact they are being fooled into fatness by false food labeling!!! Many apparently dry foods likes cookies, baked goods, crackers and chips, are higher in fat than ice cream. Even low-fat milk is really high fat!!!

 How does low-fat milk get away with its name??? By jiggery-pokery lobbying power, the dairy industry got an exemption from the new labels. Nevertheless, an 8oz glass of low-fat milk (2%) serves you a hefty one-third of its calories from fat.

 Food industry lawyers have filed exemption claims for all kinds of foods. And thousands of copywriters are busily writing new loopholes round the laws! So if you want to avoid hidden fats, DONT TRUST ANYTHING ON FOOD LABELS EXCEPT THE NUTRITION FACTS PANEL. TO BE LEGAL THAT HAS TO BE ACCURATE!


 Especially beware the slew of "reduced fat" products. Under the label laws "reduced fat" means 25% less fat than original product. Oreo cookies for example are 44% fat calories. The new Reduced Fat Oreos are legal, but still load you with one-third of their calories as fat.


 So it goes with everything from reduced fat bologna, which can still be 60% fat, to "light" and "lite" variants of foods, that have to be one-third less fat than the original....BUT CAN STILL BE 40-50% FAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I CANNOT STRESS IT ENOUGH TRUST ONLY THE NUTRITION FACTS PANEL ON FOOD LABELS!!!!

VITAMINS: Nuts and Bolts of Life!

  I grew up watching my parents take multiple vitamins and supplements, I was also given Vitamin C (for overall health) Vitamin B12 and B6..which help the body to function properly by aiding with digestion, cell growth, muscle development and the formation of regular sleep patterns. I take those same vitamins but have also added chromium..You know how you might be at work and have a lack of energy? Dont go buy 5 hour energy thats a joke (temporary fix) go to your local supermarket our Vitamin Shoppe and buy supplements. You can buy individual vitamins or take a mens or womens daily vitamin.
***Always take after a meal, do not overdose one a day is sufficient***


 Vitamins are essential components of your body that it cannot make. You have to get them from nutrition. As we have seen in "Nature for Profit" our degraded food no longer contains sufficient vitamins for optimal health, and our needs for the nutrients are multiplied by the pollutants that prevade our food, water, and air. To meet these needs, the majority of Americans now take supplements, which are simply the vitamin components of our food, concentrated and made into pills and powders.

 But many folk still see vitamins as some sort of drug, like asprin. They expect an immediate lift or an immediate reduction in pain or symptoms, and are disappointed when it usually doesnt happen. Let's get it straight. Vitamins are not stimulants, nor are they drugs for symptomatic relief. They are nutrients, and the business of nutrients is to GROW a body better!

 Unlike drugs, whose fast and usually toxic action befits their intended use in crisis intervention, nutrients have few immediate effects that you can feel. Mostly they have to wait on nature for deficient and defective cells to die off, and be replaced by new and better cells that grow from the improved nutrient mix.

 Renewal is slow and steady. Your blood cells take three months for complete renewal. Many cells of your muscles and organs take six months. The matrix of your bones and teeth takes about a year. Thats what improved nutrition through supplementation is all about. You have to wait until the nutrients  are built into your structure for their real benefits to show.


 In closing, the neglected house plant is a good analogy. If you start giving a plant a little TLC, seaweed fertilizer, and a regular watering, the exsisting leaves and stems will perk up a bit. But to see the real benefit  of your care, you have to wait as much as six months. You have to be patient until the old leaves and stems die off, and new ones sprout and flourish, with an improved cellular structure grown from the better nourishment.

Whole Wheat vs. Whole Grain

 Growing up, we NEVER ate white bread! My dad always said it sticks to your lungs?!? Sooo the next alternative was wheat bread..but recently my mom keeps telling me.."Buy whole grain Dionne, not whole wheat there is a difference!" So my research backs up what she told me!






 We have all seen it, 100% whole wheat bread that sits next to the white bread. It looks like white bread, but it says enriched. Enriched with what? Well, let me back up a little. When wheat is harvested the whole grain is taken to the refinery. REFINERY, did you see that!

 The wheat is heated to a point when the germ and the bran fall off. What is left is the starch, the white part, the not good for you part. The part that has a long shelf life and is bug resistant!!!!!!!!!

  Do you know why it is bug resistant? Bugs CANNOT sustain life in it. They will die if they only eat this refined grain!!!!!!

  So why on earth, with the abundance of good life sustaining food do we eat white flour, which is the starch of the wheat grain ground up. Honestly do I need to answer that? Take a look around and you will see obesity on the rise, and now not only are adults overweight, but kids, little kids are getting more and more fat.!!!!!!!

 Why? We are feeding ourselves all kinds of unhealthy food. Some do it because it is cheaper, some because of taste, and some just because they don't know any better!


So now that I explained what white bread is made of, let me continue to answer the question of "what exactly is enriched"? After the refinery takes the grains apart and makes white flour, which has no nutrition, they add some vitamins, some minerals, and some fiber, but not even a gram worth. The white bread is enriched with some of the very things they just worked so hard to take out. However, they do not add in as much of the grain they take away, otherwise it would be whole grain. Just enough to add some flavor and calories to it.


 What is whole grain? It is the WHOLE grain used in the process of making bread, cereal and the building blocks of many other foods. For it to be truly healthy whole grain needs to be listed on your bread, cereal or other food in the number 1 or number 2 position on the ingredients list. No, whole wheat flour which is followed by (enriched white flour, niacin, and iron) is not healthy, it is a way of making people believe that they are getting a whole grain bread.

  They are not lying, it is whole wheat flour, but not whole grain. It did come from the wheat plant and it is all wheat, but not all grain. Whole is just another word like all. If you look a little farther down on the list you will see molasses, why molasses you ask? It colors the bread to make it look brown. Yup, white flour plus vitamins and minerals still does not bring the bran back into the bread. Bran is what helps to give the natural brown color to bread. So, they again, add something to it, to try and make it look like something it is not!!!!!!

Oven Fried Chicken



 

       


   

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups rice-corn crispy cereal, (recommended: Crispex)
  • 2 1/4 cups broken bagel chips or melba toast
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 bone-in, skinless chicken pieces (about 6 ounces each) See Cook's Note

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a rack on a foil lined baking sheet. Spray the rack generously with cooking spray.

Finely grind the cereal and toasts together in a food processor. Transfer crumbs to a large gallon size plastic bag. Add the oil, salt, cayenne, paprika, and ground pepper and toss to mix thoroughly. Whisk the light mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together in a medium shallow bowl. Add chicken to mayonnaise and turn to coat all the pieces evenly. Drop the chicken into the plastic bag, seal and shake until each piece is evenly coated. Place coated pieces on the prepared rack. Spray the chicken pieces evenly with cooking spray, and bake until the coating crisps and browns and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the pieces registers 160 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
Transfer to a platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

Cook's note:

We like to cook the chicken on the bone for a real moist and juicy chicken experience. If you can't find bone-in skinless chicken, simply pull off the skin before coating. Chicken breast halves can be quite large. To get a healthy 6 ounce portion, cut the breast pieces crosswise with a heavy knife into pieces about the same size as a chicken thigh.

Honey Teriyaki Chicken with Ripe Pineapple Spears and Black and White Rice Balls


Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt, eyeball it
  • 1 rounded cup white rice
  • 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds, toasted white sesame seeds may be substituted
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Vegetable oil, for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1-inch ginger root, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe pineapple

Directions

Preheat a grill pan or large griddle over medium high heat.


Bring water to a boil in a small covered pot. Add butter, salt and rice to the pot. Return the water to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and replace cover. Simmer 18 minutes and remove rice from heat. Take the lid off the pot to cool rice a bit. Scoop rice into balls with an ice cream scoop and your hands. Dampen hands with water to work with rice if it is very sticky. Set rice balls on a plate and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.


While your rice is cooking, lightly coat chicken with oil, salt and pepper. Place chicken on hot grill and cook 6 minutes on the first side.


While chicken is cooking, bring chicken broth and ginger to a boil. Stir in honey. When honey has dissolved into broth, add teriyaki sauce and sesame oil and reduce heat to simmer.


Turn chicken and coat liberally with honey teriyaki sauce using a basting brush. Cook chicken 4 minutes, turn again and baste liberally again with sauce, then cook 2 minutes longer. Remove chicken to a plate. Garnish chicken with sliced scallions.


While chicken cooks on the second side, peel and cut a ripe pineapple into 8 spears. Cut off top and bottom of pineapple. Set pineapple upright and trim away skin in strips from top to bottom. Halve pineapple lengthwise and quarter each 1/2, lengthwise. The core is edible, but may be trimmed if you wish. Pineapple can be very acidic. Spears set in cold water for just 1 minute will keep the fruit from stinging your lips when it is eaten. Serve with chicken and rice balls.

Put that red meat......DOWN!

 Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'These are the animals which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth: Among the animals, whatever divides the hoof, having cloven hooves and chewing the cud; that you may eat. Nevertheless these you shall not eat among those that chew the cud or those that have cloven hooves: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you; the rock hyrax, [a small rodent-like animal], because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you; the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you; and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. They are unclean to you.

  So only animals that have cloven hooves and chew the cud are acceptable for food. Acceptable animals would include sheep, goats, cattle, elk and buffalo. Unacceptable animals would include pigs, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, bears, horses, squirrels, rodents, and camels..

   Then the LORD said,"These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers; that you may eat. But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you. They shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination. Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales; that shall be an abomination to you."

 So these verses clearly tell us that we are not to eat any water creature which does not have fins and scales. That would include all shellfish. So we must not eat crabs, lobsters, shrimp, abalone, clams, catfish, sharks, dolphins (the mammal), whales, sturgeon, and a host of others. But there are also a host of common fish which we may eat. Among the common edible fish are salmon, tuna, bass, and trout, tilapia, and cod, as well as a few others. Like the rules for animals, the rules for fish are easily remembered: If they have fins and scales, they are good for food.


 As a child/teenager I was a Seventh-Day Adventist my mom was raised that way, and so we had not choice but to accept the denomination. Very strict, I must say...My grandmother ate absolutley no meat..Just vegetarian patties, boca burgers and lots of vegetables and beans. She is 85 now and has a busier schedule than me! My mom recently stopped eating all meat..other then fresh water fish.

 Growing up we were never big meat eaters anyway..my parents were against it. So if we had any meat, it was; chicken, certain fish, turkey sausages, turkey burgers, turkey bacon..or just a plain ol' turkey. You wouldnt see my dad coming home from work at 10 oclock to eat a thick juicey t-bone..it wasnt happening! I remember going to my grandfathers house on my mother's side and he was a big hunter! Their deep freeze was packed to maximum capacity with deer meat..unfortunately he's been dead for about seven years now. He died from either prostate or colon cancer..my point is that meat may not have been the total cause..BUT IT DEFINITELY PLAYED A PART IN HIM DEVELOPING CANCER. (I believe)

  Im not telling you to do anything you dont want to do..I'm just stating what the bible says and my thoughts in regards to meat... we are not suppose to eat certain types of meat..

 AT THIS DAY IN AGE THE MEAT HAS SOOOOOOOOO...MANY FILLERS, HORMONES, ADDITIVES, AND ANTIBIOTICS! THATS WHATS MAKING SO MANY OF US SICK!!!! AND WE DEVELOP DIFFERENT DISESASES AND SICKNESSES FROM OUR CONSUMPTION OF MEAT! If you MUST eat meat, buy organic! It will cost you a little more but your body will appreciate that! Farm raised chickens and cattle that have been given feed that is CHEMICAL FREE! Go buy some canned albacore tuna fish by bumble bee and enjoy that on some whole grain pita bread!

 In closing, I'm personally working on going slightly vegan, I will more than likely continue eating fish..because I enjoy it and, its acceptable in GOD's eyes, as well as the omega 3's it contains. But the hotwings and fries...pass...prime rib..pass...bbg ribs..pass..poterhouse steak........tough decision, but it's time to start making better eating choices! It will make God smile too, your obeying HIS WORD! ;)

Nature in favor of profit..Are you a victim?



 Until the 1940s farmers returned essential nutrients to the soil, mulching, manuring, and crop rotation. These methods have worked successfully to maintain soil quality since agriculture began. But human greed and arrogance convinced commercial intrests that they can use man-made technology to do better than NATURE...AND MAKE BIGGER PROFITS! So began the degradation of the American food supply!

 At the end of World War 2, drug conglomerates making nitrates and phosphates for weapons, were left with few buyers for their stock piles of chemicals. THEY HAD TO FIND NEW MARKETS FOR THEIR PRODUCTS! Early experiments had shown that many plants will grow on a mixture of just three minerals; nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K). Armed with this knowledge...WAR CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS BEGAN SELLING NPK FERTILIZERS TO FARMERS AT ATTRACTIVE PRICES THAT MADE TRADITIONAL SOIL ENRICHMENT UNECONOMIC. BY THE 60s IN ORDER TO COMPETE IN THE FOOD MARKET, ALMOST ALL AMERICAN FARMS HAD BECOME COMPLETELY DEPENDENT UPON NPK PRODUCTS IN ORDER TO MAKE A LIVING!

MIXTURES OF NPK, PROVIDE THREE OF THE MAIN MINERALS ESSENTIAL FOR PLANT HEALTH. THEY GROW FINE-LOOKING CROPS WITH ABUNDANT YIELDS. But your body is not a vegetable. Humans need more than nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. They also need selenium, chromium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, iodine, molybdenum, zinc, cobalt, boron and vanadium. NPK fertilizers, a destructive legacy of weapons of war, do not contain the minerals essential for human health, because they were never designed for human nutrition.

In closing, as each suceeding crop grown on NPK products has depleted the soil of other essential minerals, AND THESE MINERALS ARE NO LONGER REPLACED! Most produce and food animals now grown in America, HAVE BECOME MINERAL DEFICIENT! THAT MAKES US DEFICIENT AS WELL.....BECAUSE OUR BODIES CANNOT MAKE MINERALS....WE HAVE TO GET THEM FROM FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO Organic!

Four Food Groups??? Dont believe the hype!

 Some physicians I have met refuse to accept the evidence of nutrition, excercise and lifestyle are our main defense against disease. From the look of them I suspect they do so because...they want everyone to be condemned to the same medicore health they suffer from themselves!

  Yes I know it sounds unbelievable that the public has been deliberately fooled into disesase for 50 years, and that the real information on nutrition has been deliberately suppressed. But you half to wake up and realize that we are all being targeted! The American diet  is a major cause of disesase, and the huge pile of new studies that specific nutrient supplements can prevent or cure disease, have caused thousands of health professionals to realize their error!

 The food and drug administration...Im not even gonna blast them, I will let these articles speak for themselves! FYI: Please know that these people are working hand in hand to make you sick and evantually kill you for PROFIT! Wake-up folks...stop taking all this meds and research herbal remedies! You dont need to take ANY medicine daily! There are supplements and natural herbs that can heal you without the MEDS! Its a plot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be so naive..educate yourself:)

 We have all depleted our soils, contaminated our water, polluted our food and air, degraded our food supply, mistreated our bodies and thereby have created much of the disesase that now plagues our lives.

 A large part of the degeneration has resulted from INEPT and INIQUITIOUS actions of certain health agencies with the greed of commercial enterprise, aiming to maximize POWER and PROFIT at the expense of human health! America today struggles helplessly in the grip of a vast sickness industry. Government and health agencies are powerless to protect you..
YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO PROTECT YOURSELF!

 The four food groups and the great nutrition provided by our food is a FRAUD! They were originally developed  by clever commercial intrest and their tame (paid) scientists for one purpose-Financial Gain! With no thought for human health, they have been foistered on the American public for the last 50 years.

The monumental fraud stems from the discovery of mechanisms in the human body that motivate us to seek out and eat fat and sugar! These mechanisms likely developed  in our hunter/gatherer ancestors to ensure that they ate animal fats and sweet plants whenever they got their hands on them, so they would have plentiful reserves of energy and micronutrients during the frequent times of scarcitity. The same mechanisms continue in us today.

 As soon as these genetically programmed appetities for fat and sugar were confirmed by science, devious industrialists looked for ways to exploit them to sell their wares. Thus the Four Food groups were born, with meat as the first major category and dairy foods as the second. Industry quickly methods to breed and promote higher fat meats and to make the fattiest cheeses and creams in the WORLD!

 You must understand..fat is cheap and easy to grow into animals, and with the right promotion, can be v-e-e-e-ery expensive. The premium prices  commanded by thickly marbled New York cuts of steak is a prime example!

 Motivated by mechanisms that we call today a "sweet tooth" our ancestors sought their sugars in fruits and sweet vegetables. In that way nature ensured, that they also got all the vitmins, minearls and fiber in these natural sources. With devilish cunning and MONUMENTAL IGNORANCE of nutrition, industrial intrests developed methods to extract sugars from their nutritional sources and to insert them into empty foods containing only excess calories.

In essence, we still have the inherited urge to eat sweet, but now most of the sweets we are offered to eat are nutritionally valueless. The sham of the Four Food Groups and the blatant lies about the nutritional value of our food supply, have turned the majority of Americans into..FAT AND SUGAR PROCESSING PLANTS TO LINE INDUSTRY'S POCKETS!

*THINK ABOUT IT*

Introduction to "Eat Right to Live"

In my "Eat right to live" blog, I plan to discuss various topics in regards to our overall health. Understanding nutrition, your chemical make-up, and bloodtype are important factors in knowing what food groups you should eat more or less of. Your food/calorie consumption plays a huge role in weight loss and maintaining your current weight. How you perceive food...are you living to eat or eating to live?

 Water consumption is very important because are bodies are made up of about 43%-75% H20, depending upon age, body fat etc. Water serves as a medium to carry metabolic wastes away from the body - this is accomplished in the form of urine and sweat. Think of it as a detoxifying agent. This is one of the most important functions of water in our body (although not very highly appreciated often in daily life).

 Daily supplements also help aid in your journey to optimal helath Vitamin C, Chromium, and B12 are all good choices, whether taken individually or as a whole after a meal. Any form of excercise for at least 20 mins will get your heart-rate up to maintain a healthy weight.

 Cooking with oilve oil, baking your foods and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables are neccessary for optimal health. Fresh water fish are good choices; trout, salmon, tilipia, cod and flounder. Try to stay away from fish that have lot of mercury, such as; swordfish and shark. Chicken, veal, turkey, and lamb are as well great proteins that are easier to digest then lets say..beef or pork. Try not to cook your veggies to long because you strip them of their nutrients that way. Steaming or stir fry are great alternatives for veggies that you want to enjoy cooked. You can eat as many fruits and vegetables as you  like...they wont hurt you. They also contain water which helps if you having trouble drinking 8 glasses of water a day.

 Children "mimic" what their parents do! You cant expect your child or the child you are caring for to be oblivious to your eating habits. They will convey your behavior at an early age and start developing their own bad habits of; junk-food consumption and over-eating. Sometimes a child will be born with certain heredity issues, which will call for you to help keep them on a healthy eating pattern. We must learn to say "NO" to the fast foods, junk foods, sugary cereals, sugary drinks etc on a DAILY BASIS!

 I have pretty much covered what I will be discussing, and also researching more myself in regards to eating right to live. If you have any questions, suggestions or comments...they are all welcome..I hope you enjoy reading my daily post, just as much as I enjoy writing them:)
