When you see information about vitamins, you often see the word ‘essential’ right before ‘vitamins’. Have you ever wondered why? It’s actually quite simple. Our bodies require vitamins and minerals to function at optimum efficiency. It’s interesting, then, that our bodies are incapable of producing most vitamins and minerals for themselves. Instead we have to source these necessary vitamins and minerals from outside sources.

Vitamins occur naturally in many of the foods we at, as they are organic compounds. You can also get vitamins in the form of a vitamin supplement. A staggering thirteen vitamins are considered necessary to perform crucial functions in the body such as provide protection against infection and diseases, helping the body grow, helping the body’s metabolism and the removal of waste products.

The body uses vitamins a little like building blocks. It puts all the different blocks together in different combinations to produce the hormones and enzymes that control things such as heart rate, glucose levels, blood pressure and other chemical reactions.

Can I Have Too Many Vitamins?

Over the years, guidelines for the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of each vitamin and mineral have been formulated. These take into account a person’s age, gender, and current state of health. A pregnant woman, for example, needs a certain combination of vitamins in order to protect the fetus from birth defects. An adult man requires different types and amounts of vitamins to an adult woman. Also, the nutritional requirements of children, teenagers and the elderly are quite different.

Food basically acts like fuel for your body. If you give your body the best type of fuel it will be able to perform at optimum levels. Give it dirty or bad fuel, and you’ll begin to notice a decline in performance levels.

What Happens If I Don’t Have Enough Vitamins?

Vitamin deficiencies tend to grow over time, so the first signs may be hardly noticeable. However, down the road they can lead to serious health issues. Not enough people eat a nutritionally balanced diet nowadays. It’s common for adults to have very poor eating habits. Healthy, natural foods have been replaced by processed foods, high fat foods, fast food and restaurant food.

Unfortunately we can’t take a look inside our body and see what exactly is going wrong in there thanks to our poor dietary habits. Most people don’t even think about what they’re eating until they start to put on excess weight and it becomes very noticeable. Excess weight is often one of the later signs, and by the time you notice the extra weight, there could already be serious trouble brewing inside.

A lack of Vitamin C can lead to tiredness, weakness, sore muscles and bleeding gums. If you’re low on Vitamin D, you can end up with weak or possible even deformed bones. Not enough Vitamin E can cause the destruction of vital red blood cells. In extreme cases vitamin deficiencies can even lead to death.

If you’re concerned you may be lacking some essential vitamins thanks to bad eating habits, than a vitamin supplement can be a good way to fill the gaps. The only way to know for sure if your body isn’t getting enough vitamins is to have a blood test. Generally, though, if you think you might not be getting enough vitamins, you’re probably right. Try a daily multivitamin supplement and you might just be surprised at how much better you feel overall.

All fruits and vegetables have a combination of different phytonutrient families and it is the combination that determines what colour that they are. The terms polyphenols and bioflavanoids or flavanoids are used interchangeably by media sources. They are used to describe chemical compounds that we call phytonutrients and it makes it all confusing. In a nutshell, phytochemicals come from different families and each family tends to represent a colour, as mentioned before with all foods have some type of combination: researchers study the chemical – they do not study the food and by doing this they learn the health properties such as anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatories, anti- cancer and heart protective, etc.

Consider this:

• Pick a food and read up on its phytonutrient benefits

• It is hard to not be impressed how complex these plants are and the benefits they provide for our health

• The research done to date is just at the beginning

• We just need to simply eat them, it’s easy!

What The Colours Mean

Red – represents the lycopene family as found in tomatoes

Yellow & Orange – the carotenoid family as found in carrots

Green – represents the chlorophyll family as found in kale

Purple & Blue – represents the anthocyanin family as found in blueberries

Black – the richest source of anthocyanins as found in black beans

Brown – catechins as found in tea and chocolate

Heritage Varieties

Known as heirloom plants or heritage fruits and heirloom vegetable, they are old cultivars that are being maintained by gardeners and farmers. Before the age of industrialized agriculture and mono-cropping, farmers routinely grew many varieties. It is believed now that mono-cropping improves consistency.

Practicing crop diversity is beneficial because it:

• allows for natural hybrids to occur

• farmers continue to learn

• creates healthier plants

• protects the soils

Seeds of Diversity in Canada and Seeds of Change in the US both protect heritage varieties. They work with farmers to maintain heritage seeds. They can be purchased for you to use in your garden and heritage plants are showing up in nursery for you to plant as well. The heritage varieties show you the diversity of any type of food and they come in multiple colours. Look for them in your grocery stores and at farmer’s markets.

The Benefits of Phytonutrients

Lycopene:

A type of carotenoid that is heart protective, helps with male fertility, prevents aging of the skin. It also helps prevent diabetes and osteoporosis. It is found in tomatoes, red peppers, guava, papaya, watermelon, pink grapefruit and mangos.

Carotenoids:

The other carotenes such as lutein, beta-carotene and zeaxanthin are just a few of the carotenoids and are represented by yellow and orange-coloured foods. All are anti-oxidants and may be helpful in preventing cancer. All of them are helpful with eyesight. Think of carrots, cauliflower, summer zucchini, sweet potatoes, yellow peppers and all yellow squash as good sources of carotenoids.

Chlorophyll:

This is the green pigment found in all plants. It cleanses and builds the blood, and helps detoxify the body. It helps promote good bacteria and is a major antioxidant. It supports the immune system and helps fight infection and may help protect against cancer. Good sources of chlorophyll are found in green leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach, broccoli, parsley, cilantro and wheat grass.

Anthocyanins:

Break open the bottle of red wine and enjoy the benefits of anthocyanins. Okay, not too much wine though. Anthocyanins are major anti-oxidants that help protect the blood, brain, nervous system, as well as support the growth of collagen and connective tissue. They help protect eyesight and have heart protective and cancer preventative properties. Blueberries, red and purple grapes, raspberries, black currents, black berries, black raspberries, pomegranate, red cabbage, eggplant are all good sources. Foods that are black like black beans, black sesame, black rice and black cherry tomatoes are also sources of anthocyanins.

Catechins:

Catechins are found is green tea, black tea and chocolate. All catechins are potent antioxidants. They are heart protective, they improve cognitive function and help prevent cancer.

Experience the Rainbow

The best health is going to be achieved by having a combination of all colours. Rotate the foods in each colour group so you are not always eating the same red food or the same yellow food. Combine the colours on your plate every day and try to have some in every meal. Enjoy!

As you go about setting up a healthy eating plan, there are foods you will need to avoid. Eat those foods and chances are you are in for weight gain and digestive troubles, as well as not doing your health any favors.

Which foods make this list? While there are plenty of choices you will want to avoid, there are some foods that are problematic. Let us go over these foods so you can avoid them…

1. Instant/Ramen Noodles. First on the hit list is ramen or instant noodles. While noodles themselves may not seem to be a bad option, the big problem with these is this particular variety of noodle is very high in saturated fat. Check out the nutrition stats, and you may just be surprised. Most people do not realize how much fat they contain.

On top of that, when you add the flavor mix, you also get a high dose of sodium. Pass on these, and it will do your health well.

2. Chocolate Coated Cereal Bars. The next food to avoid on your eating plan is this particular snack: chocolate coated cereal bars. You know the ones – chewy and tender, sweet and savory, or whatever flavor combination being advertised. All in all, these are not healthy choices for your weight loss plan. Why? Merely because they are high in sugar, contain an abundance of processed carbs, and hardly contain any protein at all. These are going to spike your blood sugar levels and cause a wealth of problems for you going forward.

Pass on these and make your protein bars yourself.

3. Pudding Cups. Pudding cups are likewise as problematic. While you can purchase low-fat varieties, these are almost twice as bad. Then you would be digesting a high dose of sugar as well.

Pudding cups contain microscopic amounts of calcium or even nutrition. Simply they are not ideal. If you want to have pudding, create some yourself using skim milk and a low-sugar pudding mix.

4. Fat-Free Cheese Crisps. Finally, watch out for fat-free cheese crisps or chips of any kind. These may once again seem like a good choice as they are low in fat and possibly lower in calories than their high fat counterparts. But don’t be fooled. The bigger issue with these is they are loaded with additives, simple carbs, and artificial flavors.

In some cases, they may also contain a small dose of trans fats, which must be kept out of your eating plan if you are going to sustain optimal health.

There you have four snacks to avoid if you are going to improve your diet plan and see better weight loss results. Get these out of your food choices, and your body will thank you for it.

If you have committed yourself to the Scarsdale Diet programs, you have found then that the protein bread is an important part of the diet regimen. Many who are following the Scarsdale Diet program’s method of weight loss either cannot find the protein bread in their local grocery, or are paying high prices at gourmet grocers for the bread. Here is a simple (but exceptionally good tasting) recipe for the bread.

Scarsdale Diet Program’s Protein Bread

Ingredients:

One-cup warm water

One tablespoon dry yeast

½ teaspoon salt

One-teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

½ cup soy flour

¼ cup gluten flour (gluten flour has much fewer carbohydrates than regular flour. You can substitute high gluten bread flour if you cannot find gluten flour.)

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour.

Place water in a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle dry yeast into to bowl and let stand until yeast dissolves (five minutes or so). Add salt, sugar, and vinegar to bowl. Mix well.

Sift together soy and gluten flours together. Slowly add to the yeast mixture in the bowl.

Sift whole wheat flour and add it to mixture in bowl. Turn mixture slowly until dough sticks together (and not to sides of bowl). If you have a mixer or food processor that has dough hooks, these help tremendously with the mixing.

Lightly flour a board or other surface. Scoop dough into ball with floured hands and place on surface. Knead for five minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.

Place into small bread pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Adjust dough to fit shape of pan (loaf shape). Do not try to touch dough all the way to sides of pan. Cover with slightly dampened towel and set in a warm place (free from drafts) to rise. Let rise for two to three hours until dough has at least doubled in size and reaches top of bread pan.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Bake bread in preheated oven for one hour or until light golden brown.

The Scarsdale diet program’s bread will be much denser than regular bread. Cut into thin slices. Keep unused portion in refrigerator.

In order to keep your Scarsdale diet program’s bread longer (or if you would like to make multiple loaves ahead of time); you can double wrap the loaves in plastic (after you slice them thinly); and store them in the freezer. Take what you want out of the freezer, as you need it while following the Scarsdale diet programs.

Toasting the bread before consumption when on the Scarsdale diet programs makes the bread more palatable and easier to eat (the dense bread can be a bit dry and chewy).

If making your own bread is not for you; you can find some low cost options at the grocery. You should look for low fat/ low carb options that are whole wheat (never white) bread. You will lose the most weight on the Scarsdale Diet program’s bread by choosing a bread that has greater than 4 grams of protein and less than 12 grams of carbohydrates.

The Scarsdale diet program’s protein bread is an integral part of the diet. In order to achieve optimum weight loss while on Scarsdale diet programs, you will need to make or purchase the protein bread. The recipe offered here is relatively easy and you will not need a lot of prior baking experience.

“I answer 20 000 letters a year and so many couples are having problems because they are not getting the right proteins and vitamins.”

Barbara Cartland, English novelist.

The Observer (London) “Sayings of the Week” (August 31, 1986).

There are three energy-yielding nutrients: Carbohydrates, Protein and Fats. These nutrients are written in following lines.

1. Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates usually provide the greater part of the energy in a normal diet, but no individual carbohydrate is an essential nutrient in the sense that the body needs it but cannot make it for itself from other nutrients. If the carbohydrate intake is less than 100 g per day ketosis is likely to occur.

2. Fats. With their high caloric value, fats are useful to people with large energy expenditure; moreover they are helpful in cooking and making food appetizing. Though rats need linoleic or arachidonic acids in their diet, essential fatty acid deficiency is rare in man. It has been demonstrated in patients who have been fed intravenously for long periods without fat emulsions. They develop a scaly dermatitis and eicosatrienoic acid accumulates in plasma lipids. Essential fatty acids are precursors for the synthesis of prostaglandins.

3. Proteins. Protein provides some 20 amino acids, of which eight are essential for normal protein synthesis and for maintaining nitrogen balance in adults. These essential amino acids are methionine, lysine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine, and valine. Histidine and perhaps arginine are also needed for growth in infants.

The ‘biological value’ of different proteins depends on the relative proportions of essential amino acids they contain. Proteins of animal origin, particularly from eggs, milk and meat, are generally of higher biological value than the proteins of vegetable origin which are deficient in one or more of the essential amino acids. However it is possible to have a diet of mixed vegetable proteins with high biological value if the principle of supplementation is used. For example cereals, e.g. wheat, contain about 10% protein and are relatively deficient in lysine. Legumes contain around 20% of protein which is relatively deficient in methionine. If two parts of wheat are mixed (or eaten) with one part of legume, a food results which contains 13% of a protein of high biological value. This happens because cereals contain enough methionine and legumes enough lysine to supplement the other component of the mixture.

The usual recommended allowance for an adequate protein intake is 10% of the total calories i.e. about 65 g for the average adult. The minimum requirement is less around 40 g per day of good biological value protein for an adult.

Perhaps you have been wondering what all the talk about clean eating is really all about. What is clean eating and what is not clean eating? Do I need to give up my favorite foods to live a clean eating lifestyle? And why are there so many food plans being touted right now?

We know it can be a lot to take in but the Paleo diet, the ketosis diet, and the gluten-free diet can all be part of a clean eating lifestyle. The basic idea of a clean eating program is to stop using processed foods as much as possible. That means giving up most canned foods, bottled foods and any other foods that have gone through a processing procedure to the point that they are no longer in their natural state.

A clean eating diet also attempts to reduce the sugar content in foods. While some recipes require a sweetener during the cooking process, refined sugar is replaced with a natural sweetener such as honey or pure maple syrup.

When you start working clean foods into your diet you want to start slowly. There are many small changes that you can make that will add up to a major change after a few weeks. For example, if you are using artificial creamers in your coffee and you don’t want to change to drinking it black, you will need to change and use a real milk product from cattle are raised on a chemical free farm. You will also want to change from the refined, processed white sugar to something like natural stevia.

Another easy adjustment is to rid yourself of candy and use fresh fruit when you want something sweet. Bananas, mangos and ripe peaches are all loaded with natural sugars. It does take a little adjustment of the mind to convince us that they should replace candy. However, with a little bit of research, we soon find out that all that sugar in those candy bars is not to make the candy sweeter but to get us addicted to eating foods loaded with processed white sugar. Once the sugar addiction gets started it is very hard to break it. Sugar is hidden in plain sight on the labels of many canned goods. It goes by many different names and often you will find corn syrup (a sugar) listed right next to “brown sugar” on a label. It is not unheard of to find three or four kinds of sugar in a processed food. Manufacturers know that once you are addicted they usually have you as a customer for life.

Those are but two small items that bring a big change from eating processed foods to eating clean healthy foods the way nature offered them to us. If you make a couple of small changes each week, within a couple of months you will be eating a clean eating diet and feeling much better about your health. The New Normal is Clean Eating so join the movement and make a couple of small changes this week.

One medium mango, about 10oz or so, is packed with vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. Mango like most fruits are low in protein, about 1 gram for a medium size, but high in natural fiber. They do of-course contain no cholesterol, no saturated fat and about 0.6 grams of essential fatty acids. As for beta-carotene, mango are bursting with it, plus impressive amounts of potassium and magnesium. It’s the perfect fruit to replenish energy levels after heavy physical exercise like jogging or working out in the gym. Then there is vitamin C, vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, plus calcium, iron and even traces of zinc.

The mango is indigenous to India, and has been cultivated there for over 4000 years. In

Ayurveda (Traditional Indian Medicine) the ripe mango is seen as balancing and energizing. The dried mango flowers contain about 15% tannin acid used as astringents in cases of diarrhea, chronic dysentery, and chronic urethritis. Mango kernel (seed) decoction (boiled in water) is used as a vermifuge (anti-parasite) and as an astringent for diarrhea, hemorrhages and bleeding hemorrhoids. The fruit cleanses the body, and helps the immune system fight infections.

Every part of mango tree, roots, stems, bark, the blossoms, unripe or ripe fruit, seeds, all have been used over the centuries for their curative and medicinal properties. The mango tree and its medicinal parts have shown to have some antibiotic activity. They also strengthen and invigorate all the nerve tissues of the brain, heart and other parts of the body.

Preparing a mango fruit- wash off the sap on the skin before handling it. Some fruit is so fibrous that it is difficult to slice and eat, in this case just squeeze the juice. Non-fibrous mango can be cut in half to the stone, the two halves twisted in opposite directions to separate the flesh from the central flat stone.

In Mexico – the mango is pierced at the stem end with a long central part of a special mango folk, then the fruit is held like a lollipop. Small mango are peeled and mounted on an ordinary fork and eaten in the same way.

The fat extracted from the kernel is white and solid like cocoa butter, and is being proposed as a substitute for cocoa butter in chocolate.

In India green hard mango are peeled, sliced, parboiled, then brown sugar, salt, various spices (cumin, ginger, turmeric, coriander, chili etc) are added sometimes with raisins or other fruits, and cooked to make chutney. Serve with meats, or bean etc this chutney will help improve digestion.

The bark of the tree is high in tannin acid about 16% to 20% and has been used for centuries in India for tanning hides.

In Thailand green-skinned mango are called “keo”, with sweet, nearly fiber-less flesh, they are soaked whole for 15 days in salted water before peeling, slicing and serving with sugar!

In Africa – the gum of the bark is resinous, redish-brown, and is used for mending crockery.

In Hawaii – Hawaiian technologists have developed methods for removing the peel from the fruit for the production of mango nectar, this is an important export industry to Hawaii.

The Canada Department of Agriculture has developed methods of preserving ripe or green mango slices by osmotic dehydration.

In the Caribbean, the leaf decoction (leaves boiled in water) is taken as a remedy for diarrhea, fever, chest complaints, diabetes, hypertension and other ills (see under caution).

CAUTION – The sap from of the tree trunk, branches and the skin of the fruit, is a potent skin irritant, and capable of blistering the skin. As with poison ivy, there can often be a delayed reaction. Hypersensitive persons may react with considerable swelling of the eyelids, the face, and other parts of the body. The leave of the mango tree has been used medicinally for centuries. Documented medicinal properties and actions of the mango leaf are – anti-asthmatic, antiseptic, antiviral, cardiotonic, expectorant (helps clear the lungs), hypotensive, and laxative. However, it is not recommend, as they are toxic and cattle grazing on mango leaves die. Diabetes – the tender young bright green leaves of the mango tree are considered useful in diabetes, but only under supervision. Continuous intake of the leaves may be fatal. When mango trees are in bloom, it is not uncommon for people to suffer itching around the eyes, to experience facial swelling and respiratory problems. The irritant is probably due to the vapor of essential oils from the flowers. Wood from the mango tree should never be used in a fireplace as the smoke is highly irritating.

Who can resist the aroma of pure ghee poured over piping hot rice and dal with a sprinkling of powdered organic sugar? And today, research backed scientific proclamations are directing people to the diet of our grandmothers without any guilt. Breaking myths and misconceptions of healthy and unhealthy food habits, the ‘satvik’ diet of ancient India is getting a thumb up!!

Rice is full of phenolics which are full of powerful antioxidants released during digestion. A cupful of rice a day has several nutritional and health benefits. A few of them are listed below:

· Lowers cholesterol

· Protects against heart diseases

Balances action of calcium to regulate muscle tone

· Lowers metabolic syndrome

· Reduces migraines and headaches

· Lowers frequency of asthmatic attacks

· Reduces risk of Type II Diabetes

This cereal crop is a part of several cultural cuisines and is a fundamental food across the world.

Ghee or ‘gow gritha’ in Sanskrit, meaning ghee from cow’s milk should be included in a person’s daily meals. Pure cow ghee should preferably be poured over rice, dals and rotis to provide you their full nutrients. Ghee made from the milk of cows which feed on organically grown grass and greens is the most beneficial. Fats provide instant energy to the body and are essential for a balanced diet.

1 gm of fat supplies almost 9 calories, nearly double of the energy given by carbohydrates or proteins.

Thus, about 2 tps of ghee per day will give you all the nutritional benefits of this wonder food. The most misunderstood fat, ghee is a soothing unguent which not only gives a glow to the skin but has a host of other benefits, some of which are listed below:

· Mitigates peptic ulcers or gastritis

· Contains linoleic acid which fights fat deposits

· Increases memory

1 tsp ghee mixed with hot water, taken at bedtime is the best known purgative. As ghee gains popularity in the West, we Indians should continue to consume this essential food as a part of our daily diet.

Organic sugar is unrefined sugar made from raw sugarcane and has more nutrients as it is less processed. Full of antioxidants, amino acids, several minerals and vitamins, organic sugar or raw sugar should be included in one’s diet in moderate amounts. Better than refined white sugar, small amounts of organic sugar in your diet will give you an energy spike.
