Health Benefits of Broccoli

Broccoli's demand as well as availability has increased a lot in India since past few years. It is one super food which is packed with highest nutritional value. It can be made into soups, salads or tossed with other vegetables.

5 Health reasons to have broccoli regularly.

1) Anti-Cancer Properties - Cruciferous vegetables are nutrition powerhouses and broccoli is one of them. It lowers the risk of lung and colon cancer. The compound called sulforaphane, which gives the bitter taste to broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables is what is believed to give this vegetable the power to fight cancer. Broccoli also contains folate which is known to decreases chances of breast cancer in women.

2) Bone Health - Broccoli has high content of vitamin K which is good for bone health. One can get more than their daily requirement of vitamin K in just a cup of chopped broccoli.

3) Glowing Skin - Broccoli has vitamin C which is ideal for fighting skin damages caused due to pollution and sun, and takes care of overall texture of the skin.

4) Good Digestion - Broccoli has natural fiber which assists in preventing constipation, lowers the risk of colon cancer and helps maintain a healthy digestive tract.

5) Immunity building - Broccoli included in your regular diet ensures a boost to your immune system. Also present in it are magnesium and calcium which help regulate blood pressure

[www.keralites.net] PEANUT BUTTER FOR WEIGHT GAIN

 

Peanut butter is an ideal food for a weight-gain diet.
If you are below a healthy weight, putting on pounds can prove difficult. A common -- and wise -- tip for gaining weight is to eat calorie-dense foods that provide a large amount of nutrients in small servings. At 90 calories per tablespoon, peanut butter is an ideal candidate. To gain weight with peanut butter, look for every opportunity to fit it into your diet.

[www.keralites.net] THE MOST IMPORTANT MEDICAL TEST

 

The Most Important Medical Test.
Dr. Sudhir V. Shah M.D., D.M. (Neurology) Consultant Neurologist, Prof. And HOD, Neurology, V.S.G.Hospital, Ahmedabad. Director of Neurosciences, Sterling Hospital, Ahmedabad.http://www.sudhirneuro.org/

Recently I spoke at a health conference. There was one general reaction that came through loud and clear: surprise. You see, I talked about the number that is THE most telling indicator about your state of health and is arguably the most importantnumberto pay attention to if you want a life free of pain, inflammation and disease.

It's not yourweight. Or BMI. Orcholesterol.. Or your triglycerides. It's not even yourblood pressure

It's yourpH(pHfactor indicates acidic versus alkaline ratio in your body)

In a flashback to high school chemistry, remember that thepHscale goes from 0 to 14.0is pure acid,7is neutral, and14is pure alkaline. You came into this world with an alkalinepH. It's how your body was designed and how you're meant to stay.. Without exception, ALL of your organs, tissues, bones and joints work best when your bloodpHis slightly alkaline (around7.365).

If yourpHis even just a little too acidic, that's when your body can begin to literally break down. Aches and pains begin to creep up. Tumours (including cancer) can flourish. Diseases can rear their ugly heads.

Although a number of factors can contribute to an acidpH, (including stress, environmental toxins, lack of exercise and smoking), far and away the number one factor is your FOOD.
Eating acid-creating foods (especially fast food, processed food, meat, dairy, refined carbs and hard to digest meal combinations) pullsyourpHdown toward the acid range.

On the other hand, when your diet contains many alkaline foods (like fresh fruits and vegetables) and is easy for your body to break down, you encourage a more alkalinepH.

Let's take a look at some examples of how your body can break down when you'reacidic:

Your heart pumps an unbelievable 13,000 quarts of blood a day--enough to fill a small swimming pool. If there are toxins in yourblood, that puts a huge strain on your heart to do its job. Acid wastes in your system also rob your blood of oxygen, which causes your heart tissue to deteriorate.
Yourliver serves over 300 different functions-with two of the most important being to remove acid wastes from your blood and make alkaline enzymes for your body. If you're like most people who live in industrialised countries, your blood resembles a war zone with far too many toxins floating around, and your liver is constantly being stressed cleaning them out. If that goes on long enough, it can completely shut down.

Yourpancreas is super important. In fact, it's responsible for completing digestion in your small intestine. And it helps regulate blood sugar by producing insulin. Like I said, super important.. More so than any other organ, the pancreas is extremely sensitive to yourpHand absolutely CANNOT function when you're acidic -- it MUST have an alkaline environment. If your pancreas is not working right, you can be looking at type II diabetes

Yourkidneys create urine and help get rid of excess acid from the body. About one litre of blood passes through them every single minute. Ifyour blood has too much acid and toxins, your kidneys are over-stressed and unable to do their job.

Yourstomach properly breaks down your food, the small intestine can finish the job and digestion is completed like it should be. Butfoods that are acid-creating are hard for your stomach to break down, and in its efforts to do its job, it may overproduce acid. The result can be poorly digested food, fewer nutrients being absorbed, and acid rising up into your throat. Acid reflux, GERD, IBS, hiatal hernia and gastritis are all on the rise and this is why. The typical American diet is LOADED with hard to digest, acid-creating food.

Your colon: Wastes are supposed to easily pass through the colon and "out your back door." But if digestion has not been accomplished properly, they don't move through like they should. Instead they can clog your colon walls, become a breeding ground for bacteria and disease and cause you to put on weight. Plus, the toxins can be reabsorbed into your bloodstream, make you ill and encourage the development of food sensitivities. It's no surprise that colon cancer is the number one cancer killer, and that so many people suffer with IBS, diverticulosis/itis and chronic constipation

So how do we get this magic 7.365pH?

Here are the 4 steps to attaining and maintaining an optimal alkalinepH:

Step 1
Check yourpHat regular intervals
You can get a saliva test or urine test kit at most drug stores or health food stores. The saliva test is the least accurate and urine is slightly more accurate. You can also have your blood tested by a doctor. This is the most accurate measure but also the most expensive. If you want this done and your doctor won't do it, find one who will. The normalpHfor urine is about 6.5-6.8 (it's acidic because urine is an exit for toxins), for saliva 7.0-7.4 and for blood 7.365 is your target. If you're testing yourpHwith saliva or urine, it's important to perform the test several times at different times of the day, sincepHcan be affected by what you eat or drink.

Step 2
Drink pure water
Aim for at least 5-8 glasses per day. Stir in a little fresh-squeezed lemon juice to make it more alkaline if
you'd like. Alkalizing drops are also available at health food stores. Water means water and does not mean coffee, tea, Gatorade, soda or other sweetened drinks. But avoid drinking tap water as it can contain chlorine and/or fluoride. Strive to drink filtered or bottled water.

Step 3
Eat more alkaline foods
The important thing to note here is you CAN continue to eat some "good" acid foods that have valid nutrients - so if you don't want to give up that juicy steak you love or that roasted chicken, you don't have to. Just make sure that those acid foods are counterbalanced by a good portion of alkaline foods. 50/50 is a good place to start, and the more alkaline, the better. "Good" acid foods include nourishing things like:
*Eggs,
*Fish
*Brown rice
*Yogurt
*Chicken
*turkey
*Beef(preferably grass fed and organic).

These foods have nutrients that do benefit your body. So it's not necessary to eliminate them. You just need to make sure to keep them under control, and make sure they represent no more than 50% of your calories.

And remember it's NEVER a good idea to eat processed food, fast food or drink soda. Keep those to a bare minimum or preferably none at all.

Step 4
Keep your digestion efficient
In order to keep your digestion humming, it's vital to eat meal combinations that are easily broken down and don't cause your stomach to over produce acid, and make sure you have adequate enzymes to do the job.

Simply put:
Easy digestion=proper elimination of wastes=a more alkalinepH
Poor digestion =acid waste build-up=Sickness and a more acidpH

Without the proper enzymes for digestion, you can suffer fromgas, bloating, constipation, waste build-up, and you'll have a more acidicpH

So remember, while your weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. are all very important too, it's vital to keep your eye on theMOSTimportant number--yourpH.

Do that and your body will thank you many times over.
