The acai fruit berry is one of the worlds most powerfully nutritious foods. Harvested from a special palm tree in the Brazilian rain forest, this purple fruit holds the magic of the Amazon.
A Dr. and best selling author wrote a book called, “the Perricone Way” where in it he states that the acai fruit is the #1 super food in the world. The berry is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids that fight harmful free radicals in the body.
The acai fruit has in it the following:
A leveel of anitoxidants that assist with fighting premature aging as well as 10-30 times that of grapes or red wine
A nearly perfect vital amino acid complex combined with important trace minerals, both critical to proper muscle contraction and regeneration
The perfect blend of healthy fats, fiber for your diet, and nutrients that help lower cholesterol help promote that digestive system
Research has shown that antioxidants should be an essential part of every human diet. They are known to protect the body’s cells from the damage done by free radicals
Free radicals are harmful substances that the body produces when breaking down some foods. They are also created from environmental pollutants such as tobacco smoke or radiation. They can damage cells, and have been linked to cancer, heart disease, and other diseases.
The antioxidants found in the acai fruit help restore health and can prevent future disease. Acai fruit is rich in vitamins A and B and has the protein content of an egg.
The fatty acid content in the acai fruit is similar to that of olive oil. It is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid aids omega-3 fish oils in penetrating the cell membrane. The blend helps keep the cell membranes supple. This allows all hormones, neurotransmitters, and insulin receptors to function more efficiently.
The acai fruit berry is a powerful source of nutrients that can give your body everything it needs to function properly. Research, and you will find a variety of acai products that will meet your need.
EATING HEALTHY HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be difficult nor complicated. After you start making healthy choices, and make it a daily habit, you won’t have to think about it much again. All you need to do is have healthy food choices available and the rest is easy.
When thinking about a meal or a snack, it needs to incorporate a proper balance between a protein, carbohydrate and fat.
Have you established for yourself your caloric consumption needs? I know for myself, if I want to maintain my weight, I should not eat any more than 1500 calories per day. If I want to lose, my daily calorie intake is no more than 1200 calories per day.
After you determine how many calories you should be consuming, you then need to divide the calories out over 5-6 small meals/snacks throughout the day. Don’t forget to compliment each meal/snack with the proper balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. I will give you an example of these choices to make during the day.
I should quickly mention something about portion sizes. Do you know what a serving of protein looks like? No, it’s not the 16 ounce Prime Rib at your local steak house. A portion of protein is 3 ounces, the size of a woman’s palm.
VISUAL EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT FOOD PORTIONS:
* 1 medium fruit — tight fist or tennis ball
* 1/2 cup of pasta, rice, fruit, veggie, or cooked cereal — tight fist or cupcake size
* 1 cup of raw salad — the amount you can hold in two hands cupped together.
* 1 medium baked potato — computer mouse
* 1 cup of cold cereal — large handful or tight fist
* 3 ounces of meat, poultry or fish — palm of a woman’s hand or deck of cards
* 1 ounce of cheese — 4 dice or the top half of your thumb
* 1 ounce of meat, fish, chicken or poultry — 1 egg
* 1 tsp — the tip of a medium-framed woman’s thumb. 1 tbsp is equal to 3 tsp.
BREAKFAST:
It is important to start the day with a good breakfast. A good breakfast is needed to maintain level blood sugars throughout the morning. Try to keep breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same calorie count and then add two to three snacks between meals to make up the 5-6 recommended meals.
Choose an item from each of the food groups for a healthy balanced breakfast.
Protein: 1 cup nonfat milk, 1 hard boiled egg, 1 oz of low fat cheese, 1 cup low fat yogurt
Carbohydrate: 1/2 cup of whole grain cereal or oatmeal, granola bar, 1 slice of whole grain toast, bagel or muffin.
Fruit: 1/2 banana, small apple, orange, grapefruit, 3/4 cup of raspberries, strawberries, blueberries
LUNCH AND DINNER:
Preparing lunch and dinner is very simple. Pick a lean protein, add some vegetables and top it off with some fruit for dessert.
Choose an item from each of the food groups for a healthy balanced lunch or dinner.
Protein: Lean beef, pork, beans, chicken, fish, turkey, etc.
Vegetable: Salad greens, spinach, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans, etc. For a serving size, fill about 1/4 of your plate with protein, 1/2 of your plate with vegetables, and the other quarter with healthy carbohydrates.
Carbohydrate: Sweet potatoes, white potatoes, brown rice, corn, 1 slice of whole grain bread etc.
Dessert: Pear, apple, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup of strawberries or raspberries with a dollop of nonfat whipped topping.
SNACKS:
Snacks are what make or break the weight loss. You need to maintain your metabolism in between meals so that is why healthy snacks are essential. For your snack, consume between 100 to 125 calories.
Choose an item from each of the food groups for a healthy balanced snack.
Protein: Low fat string cheese, hard boiled egg, small yogurt cup, 1 oz. low sodium, low fat luncheon meat, 1/4 cup of low fat cottage cheese.
Carbohydrate: 1 slice of whole grain bread, 1/2 banana, apple, grapes, plum, baby carrots, etc.
Healthy fats: 2 tbsp of peanut butter, handful of almonds, walnuts cashews or mixed nuts, 1 slice of avocado.
Doesn’t this sound easy? These are just guidelines for healthy foods. You do not have to eat the same thing every day. There are so many more foods then what I listed here but be creative. Try a new fruit and vegetable every week. Remember, this is easy!
Juice Fasting Detoxification
July 25, 2009 by Kate West
Filed under weight loss
The term “detox” has become quite the buzz word these days. You can hardly open the paper or turn on the TV without learning about some new potion or pill that claims to detoxify your system. Well, you might be wondering if you need to worry about detoxifying as well. The answer is yes! No matter what method you choose, these days detoxification is an important component to include in any health, weight loss or prevention regimen. Here’s why..
We live in incredibly advanced and complicated times where much of what we take into our bodies on a daily basis was never meant to be there. For example, there are over 70,000 chemicals used commercially today which lead to more than 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals being released into the environment each year– bi-products of processes such as manufacturing, production and transportation. 4 Billion Pounds! Not to mention the fact that 72 Million Of Those Are Known Carcinogens, or Cancer Causing Agents.
Even our water is under assault. It was recently discovered that the water supplies of most major US cities contain traces of a wide variety of pharmaceutical drugs, ranging from sleeping aids to baldness cures, medicines for depression and other psychological disorders– things you don’t want hanging around in your drinking water! Even traces of rocket fuel (yes you read that correctly!) are being found in the water we drink and the food we eat. With all of this evidence, is there any wonder why disease and obesity are at an all time high?
You don’t need me to point out that these manmade substances were never meant to enter your body. But your body takes in everything you are exposed to in some fashion or another. Therefore, no matter how hard you try to live a healthy lifestyle, toxins are entering your system faster than ever before. In fact, some studies show that on any given day you can count on 30,000 foreign substance entering your body. Now that’s a lot to process even for our exquisitely designed bodies!
But there is hope! Juice Fasting Detoxification can maintain and even restore optimal health despite the bombardment of toxins we face today. It’s the the smartest, easiest and quickest solution to remaining clean from the inside out. Obviously, with this such contamination in the world, even a health-obsessed person should consider a juice fasting detoxification plan.
Juice fasting detoxification is done by ingesting large quantities of highly nutritious, enzyme rich fruits and vegetables in order to make sure that your body gets an abundance of the the vitamins and minerals it needs to rebuild. This boosts your immune system, the very thing under attack, and also gives your body much needed rest. Because you are juicing the vegetable, you are taking care of the ‘breaking down’ process and thus temporarily eliminating the need for digestion. This very fact alone frees up a whopping 75% or more your energy! And considering that the body has a built in house keeping mechanism that goes to work scrubbing your cells clean any chance it get, this energy does not go to waste! Instead, it goes toward cleansing and purifying you from the inside out and eliminating these harmful substances from your body and your life! (Imagine tiny scrub brushes polishing your cells clean!)
Considering the stress our bodies are put under by constantly being bombarded with harmful substances, juice fasting detoxification should be included as an important tool in the survival kit of every person living in the 21st century. Considering that it’s a simple and natural method for detoxifying, increasing energy, facilitating the loss of unwanted pounds and even eliminating a whole host of medical conditions, it’s easy to see why juice fasting detoxification is one of the very best things you can do to reclaim or maintain vitality and vibrant health!
Juice Fasting for Weight Loss
July 25, 2009 by Kate West
Filed under weight loss
Let’s face it. Diets don’t work! If you don’t have first hand experience with that notion, ask anyone who has tried and failed to lose weight a dozen times or more. The dieting merry-go-round, as I like to call it, can be brutally discouraging and frustrating, not to mention that it plummets your self esteem to an all time low! “What’s wrong with me?!” you think. “Why can’t I find the right diet, program or pill?!” And once you think have, you wonder why you can’t stick to it. Juice fasting to the resue!
There is one fundamental reason as to why you haven’t been able to loose the pounds despite your most dogged and sincere efforts. And that reason boils down to one word– TOXICITY! All disease– including excess weight– stems from the same problem. It’s the result of a build up of waste materials in the body. In fact, I often tell my clients that fat is their friend. And after the look of bewilderment dissolves from their faces, I proceed to tell them that it’s fat that’s keeping their bodies safe from the harm of toxins. Let me explain…
You see fat has one purpose– to buffer toxins. Just like an oyster will wrap a single grain of sand in an alkaline substance (the pearl) to prevent aggravation, so do our bodies wrap foreign contaminants. Only our bodies wrap them in fat! So, the more toxic you are, the more fat cells you will have and the more frustrated you will be. And that’s why diets don’t work! They don’t address the underlying CAUSE of your weight problem in the first place. But the solution is simple… DETOXIFY.
Arguably the best way to help your body detoxify from the onslaught of environmental and food related toxicity that we are faced with today AND eliminate the source of your weight problem at once, is to use the age old, time tested technique of Juice Fasting. Juice fasting for weight loss has helped countless people eliminate their weight problems permanently because rather than being a ‘diet’, it is designed to simultaneously flush your body free of toxins AND saturate it with enzyme rich fruit and vegetable juices. This in turn sets up optimum conditions for your body to release the excess weight for good. (And to thrive!)
There are two main reasons why people are finding it so difficult to lose weight and keep it off these days. First is the fact that toxic substances are bombarding our bodies on a constant basis. The list of foreign agents in our food, air and water that have a negative cumulative impact on our health goes on and on. Second is that people are consuming far more calories than ever before. This is due to the fact the the majority of our food supply has become watered down and denatured due to processing and unsound farming practices, causing us to require twice as many calories to get the same amount of nutrition we would have had to have consumed only decades ago. Therefore people keep eating in order to satisfy their cravings which are simply signals from the body calling out to satisfy it’s nutritional needs!
Juice fasting for weight loss takes both these of issue and swiftly nips them in the bud. Built around the simple idea that by flooding your body with abundant quantities of high quality bioavailable nutrition in the form of enzyme rich fruit and vegetable juices, the body’s nutritional needs are satisfied and cravings disappear. Then, once the the body gets its nutritional requirements satisfied and fulfilled, it goes to work detoxifying your entire system and scrubbing clean each of your 80 trillion cells. Because all nutrition is ”juiced”, the need for digestion (which can take up to a whopping 70% of your energy!) is eliminated and the body can spend that energy cleaning up the mess that is causing you to remain overweight despite any and all dieting efforts.
So as you can see, juice fasting for weight loss is by far the most efficient and health affirming way to jump-start your body and get you looking and feeling fabulous fast! And since there are no side effects, besides radiantly glowing skin, sparkling eyes and the energy of a ten year old, can you think of any reason not to give it a try?!
So You Want To Get Ripped Abs?

Trying to get ripped abs can be a frustrating process. No matter how many crunches you do, it seems you never make any progress. This is likely because you aren’t doing everything else you should be doing as well. Besides your workout, you also need to be eating right with a diet for your needs.
That said, there are plenty of places to find out the other changes you’re going to need to make. It is still true that exercising right makes a big difference, and this article will help you do that. A basic step is, with your doctor’s approval, to simply start doing more exercises in your abs area.
Many people don’t get anywhere with crunches because they just aren’t intense enough. Try a double crunch instead, lying as you normally would with your elbows down and knees at right angles, and still pull your shoulders up. But, in addition, you should contract your abs as you pull your knees in.
Most people already know about crunches, but a side bridge exercise might be new to them. To do it, push yourself up from a position on your right side using your right arm and then extend your left arm upward. Work until you can keep this position for 30 seconds, and it will even attack your love handles.
The plank superman does for regular plank exercise what double crunches do in terms of improving a crunch. Begin with the usual starting position, but then lift one arm and the opposite leg for a second or two. Put them down, and repeat using the other arm and leg as many times as possible.
You should aim to do as many repetitions as you can here. If you’re just starting out, begin with twenty and build up from there. You can do many repetitions of any exercise if you take it in small steps. Soon, you’ll have the most effective routine possible - and will really notice the results!

Belly Fat

So first lets go over some numbers. The simple numbers are 35 and 40. That is for a women you want your waist less than 35 inches and for a man any number shy of 40 for optimal health. This spot you measure from is usually just above your belly button, at the smallest part of your waist. A more accurate measure is you hip-to-waist ratio. Your hips measurement is taken at the widest part of the hips. For guys you want a 1 to 1 ratio or less, meaning that the waist needs to be the same size or smaller than the hip and not the other way around. For us gals if you divided the waist by the hips the number should be .8 or less. So here youd rather be a pear shaped lady that an apple. So for example if your hips are 38 inches, you would want a 30-inch or smaller waist.

Why are we picking on belly or visceral fat rather than just overall obesity? Fat distribution does matter. If you have more fat around your belly, youre more likely to have more fat under your muscles trapped around your organs. And apple shaped folks have their odds just about doubled for heart attack or stroke. Whats more researchers have found that a wide waste will increase your risk of diabetes and certain cancers. The details are waiting to be ironed out, what we do know is belly fat increases inflammation in the whole body. And inflammation is the seed that leads to many problems in the body. Extra fat in the belly also equals excess fat in the liver and encasing your other organs. This deep fat is actually metabolized by the liver, which in turn makes it into cholesterol, which then circulates in your blood.
Body By Laser unlike other procedures allows the patient to continue their daily activities without interruptions from surgery, pain, or wounds.
With all this going on the body is now functioning at a substandard level, and it set up for problems. The good news is change can begin with just a few small choices to turn the tide.
Body By Laser is a new body-sculpting procedure designed to remove fat and contour the body without invasive surgery.
Just like with cards, there is a bit of luck with health, but the choices you make with hand your are dealt can often determine how long you can sit at the table.
When is Female Breast Reduction Necessary?
May 17, 2009 by Amy Nutt
Filed under weight loss
Most women have a breast size that is in standard proportion to their body. There are some women who have large beasts that can cause discomfort or even pain. For those women, choosing a breast reduction becomes a viable option.
A female breast reduction, also referred to as a reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of extra fat, glandular tissue, from the breast thereby reducing breast weight and size.
Many refer to the process of breast reduction is usually considered cosmetic surgery because the patients life is not in danger. In other words, there is not a significant life or death risk that requires the reduction. However, there are cases where large breasts can cause physical pain and emotional anguish.
Reasons for Breast Reduction Many women choose breast reduction as a way of alleviating or eliminating chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain. Women who receive the surgery will improve mobility and functionality. There is less skin irritation in the folds of the breast. As well, those women with very large breasts find that the procedure improves their physical appearance. Their self confidence is boosted. They find themselves better able to find clothes that fit. They are also able to participate in more sports activities. There is some evidence that a breast reduction may decrease the chances of developing breast cancer. Although research into breast reduction and breast cancer is still in process, there is some evidence that breast reduction may reduce the chances of acquiring breast cancer.
Breast Reduction Qualifications To qualify for cosmetic surgery, you will normally require a referral from a general practitioner. You will then consult with a plastic surgeon and possibly a psychiatrist. They will decide if you qualify for the surgery. During the consultation, your surgeon will explain the risks associated with your particular case. Risks can include scarring and possibly different sized breasts, and the inability to breast feed. The surgical process will also be explained. Your skin condition, age, size, and shape of your breasts are important considerations when assessing your candidacy for surgery. The surgeon will then examine and photograph your breasts for use during surgery. You may also be required to have a mammogram.
Surgical Procedure The patient is normally given a general anesthetic. An incision is made around the areola, the brownish area around the nipple. Then, the incision is moved down the breast and along the crease beneath the breast. The surgeon removes the excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breast. The length of the surgery can vary from 2 to 4 hours.
Results of Breast Reduction The type of breast reduction surgical method that is used often will usually determine results. After surgery, breasts will be much smaller. The results are immediate as patients have reported an improvement in comfort and less pain. Scars and swelling can vary and can last a varying amount of time. Scars can be covered using clothing, bras, and swim wear. Patients have reported that within a month, there pain has almost completely diminished, their scars faded within about six months, their clothing fit better, and they have an improved self-image.
If you have health and self esteem issues regarding the size of your breasts. It is important to have an in-depth discussion with your medical professionals that includes your doctor, plastic surgeon, and psychiatrist/psychologist. By doing so, you will maintain reasonable expectations regarding the outcome of the surgery.
Burn Fat While You Sleep

The internet is a great place to do business with fat loss products. By getting good search engine positions you can have success. If someone searches for “Diet Meal Plan”, “Best Medical Weight Loss” or “Diabetes Low Carb Diet“, you want them to come to your site.
Dozens of studies indicate that the appropriate dietary practices, coupled with regular exercise, will induce simultaneous muscle gain and fat loss without counting calories. Physiologists are discovering that the quality of the calories you consume is far more important than the overall quantity. Likewise, the quality of the food is far more important than the food group to which it be-longs.
The best way to attain fat loss is through a combination of resistance training and intense, short-duration exercise. Resistance training builds muscle and, a little muscle goes a long way toward increasing metabolic rate, caloric expenditure, and fat burning. Likewise, brief intervals of intense exercise induce a hormonal response that increases resting metabolic rate and increases overall fat burning for up to two days.
Muscle toning equals fat burning. Every ounce of toned muscle you possess increases around the clock fat burning. Protein is the most important macronutrient in your muscle-toning arsenal.
Growth hormone is a major player in numerous metabolic processes. By stimulating the release of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-l) from the liver, growth hormone is indirectly responsible for long bone growth in children. In adults, the combined effects of growth hormone and IGF-l do everything from reducing body fat, to promoting muscle tissue development, to preventing cosmetic symptoms of aging such as thinning skin.
It might seem fairly obvious, but the complete explanation is exceedingly complicated. In essence, however, it all boils down to homeostasis, which is really just a fancy word for physiological balance, or equilibrium. The more steadfast and unfaltering our overall homeostasis is the better our state of health.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids don’t just lower bad cholesterol. They also raise good cholesterol while decreasing the risk of heart disease and heart attack. Fish oil supplementation has also been credited with boosting immune function, lowering blood pressure, and reducing your risk for vessel disease, stroke, obesity, autoimmune disease, and diabetes.
Stone Age humans did not eat commercially prepared baked goods or deep fried fast foods. Hence, their diets were essentially free of the deadly trans-fatty acids that plague our modern menus. Likewise, hunter-gatherers did not have ready access to the polyunsaturated vegetable oils with their ill-boding, pro-inflammatory omega-6 to omega3 essential fatty acid ratios.
No More Bread’ Obviously, grains can be consumed in moderate quantities by most people without causing any overt signs of disease. Unfortunately, if you think about it, covert disease and widespread, low grade, chronic inflammation is what usually does us in! By the time the symptoms of chronic illnesses like diabetes, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and heart disease manifest, the damage has already been done and it is often too late to reverse the degenerative changes that will Impact the quality of the remainder of our lives. We did not evolve eating grains.
Your physique will literally transform before your eyes as every passing week brings visible, tangible improvements. By now, along with increased muscle tone, a leaner body composition, and a revved metabolism, you’ve also gained new strength, stamina, and coordination. You are probably finding that the 20-minute routine has become progressively less challenging.
One of the big business opportunities online is the weight loss industry. You can get sales from organic searches if you get the right searches to find your site. You can do well with “Low Fat Diet No”, and also “Online Weight Loss Contest”.
