Your Raw Wellness

In the past few years there have been a number of new weight loss methods to show up in the world. One of the latest and most popular is losing weight with acai berry. This form of dieting has been featured on television shows, in the news, magazines, and even some big-name celebrities are swearing by it. But, how can you know if what they are telling is the truth? Well, I’m about to talk to you about this latest weight loss trend.

When many people search for a way to lose weight, they are looking for a magic pill that has all the answers. In a perfect world, this would probably be the case. However, there is no magic pill that can solve all of your problems. If your thinking the acai berry is one of these, then look elsewhere, because it’s not. But, when following a proper exercise and nutrition regimen, the acai berry can greatly help your weight loss become a full blown success.

Let me first tell you a little bit about the acai berry. Pronounces “ah-sigh-ee”, the acai berry grows on palm trees deep in the jungles of Central and South America. It has been harvested by the natives for decades as a popular food source. But, with the huge growth in demand for the acai berry, harvesting of it has really shot up. People use it to make yogurt, juice, supplements, or just eat it raw.

If you’ve never tasted the acai berry, you’re probably thinking it has a bitter or nasty taste. Well, it actually has quite a pleasant taste, often being referred to as a chocolate and berry taste. But remember, you can get the acai berry in many different forms, even in supplement form. So if for some reason you don’t like the taste, you can just swallow it.

There have been many health benefits linked with the acai berry. You see, the acai berry is one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits out there. This can be help promote weight-loss, an increase in your energy levels, higher metabolism, and more. However, to maintain the potency of the antioxidants and nutrients, the acai berries must be frozen or freeze dried within minutes of being harvested. If they are not, they can lose a large portion of their antioxidant levels. If you plan on buying an acai product, be sure it meets those requirements, or you could be losing some of it’s effectiveness.

If your looking for an all-natural, antioxidant-loaded fruit to add to your diet regimen, then you should consider the acai berry. It has many great benefits, and the best is it’s all natural. But remember, you will still need to have a proper nutrition and exercise routine for your diet to be effective.

Dry dog food has been recommended as the best diet for dogs, however this is quite untrue. While dry dog food can be included in your dog’s diet in a limited way, most products are very high in simple carbohydrates, relatively low in protein and of inferior nutritional quality. Furthermore, it is very bad for dogs to eat food that doesn’t contain natural moisture.

The heavy use of commercially prepared dry dog food by dog owners is a leading cause of rising incidence of canine diabetes and associated pancreatitis. Doing a search on “dry dog food” on the internet will lead to a lot of websites and articles encouraging the use of this product, yet the purpose behind these articles is to sell dry dog food. So how reliable is this information really? The only safe and healthy dry dog food is likely to also be organic and contain high levels of protein and include complex carbohydrates in the form of whole grains. It will also contain dried vegetables and be very low in sodium and not have chemical additives. Even so, organic dry dog food should still be used sparingly. It should not be all that you feed your dog.

To maintain good health, dogs need a largely natural diet. The best diet is a raw diet that also incorporates healthy scraps from the family and raw dog bones. If this isn’t possible, feeding your dog commercially prepared organic food from a reputable company can provide most of your dog’s nutritional needs. Organic dry dog food can be added to this diet or given your dog as a treat, but should not be the only thing you feed your dog.

We have become a very convenience oriented society. We are busy and often stressed by the demands of earning a living and raising children. It is so much easier to pour food out of a box or open a can (and even then we’d rather have ring-pull cans) and we can fall into the trap of living on autopilot and feeding our animals and our families food that is of poor nutritional value and that can actually be a health hazard. Let’s switch back to manual control and pay attention to what we are doing. Our family – both four legged and two legged members – will look and feel better and even if they don’t thank us, we’ll know who they have to thank.

Many people believe that our bodies are overcome by the toxins in modern civilization. Air and water pollution, chemicals in everyday products, food additives, and cigarette smoke are all sources of toxins that may remain in our bodies when they are not eliminated by our normal biological processes. As a result, we may suffer effects like premature aging, bloating, or obesity.

Detoxification, or detox, is the process of removing toxic substances from the body. A detox diet is the easiest and healthiest way to detox your body. The major DO: more fiber and water are good. The major DON’T: caffeine, carbonated beverages, and sugars (alcohol, chocolate, and yeast) are not good.

One of the most aggressive detox diets, recommended by Dr. Kiki Sidhwa, involves fasting for three days followed by eating only one type of fruit for each meal. For example, breakfast might be an apple. Lunch might consist of oranges or pineapples. Then supper might be either apples or grapes or bananas. You can eat as much of the fruit as you want during each meal. Snacks might be a type of fruit non-sweetened fruit juice. The most important point is not to mix your fruit. Eat only one type of fruit for each meal.

If this approach is too extreme, you might want to use some detox diet recipes. They’re designed to give you the nutrients you need and the antioxidants that will clean your body of toxins. Increasing your intake of fluids is a great way to begin your detox diet.

Ginger Healing Tea with Tumeric is a delicious and effective addition to a detox diet. Ginger contains many antioxidants that may prevent cancer. It is known to cure nausea, motion sickness, and morning sickness. Boil two cups of water and add: 1/2 tsp. of powdered ginger, 1/2 tsp. of tumeric. Let the mixture simmer for ten minutes, then strain the tea into a mug, adding one tablespoon of maple syrup and a dash of lemon extract.

Vegetable super-juice makes a great detox diet breakfast. It gives you an energy boost, wakes up your digestive system, and keeps you powered through lunch. Ingredients include a whole cucumber, four sticks of celery, about an ounce of fresh spinach, and eight leaves of lettuce. Other green vegetables (parsley or fresh alfalfa sprouts) make a healthy addition to the super-juice. Use a blender or beverage maker to puree the ingredients, adding an equal amount of distilled water to aid the process. Lemon juice will add a tart and interesting taste. Even though cucumbers are less nutritious than most fruit, cucumber seeds are a good source of vitamins A, B6, C and K. Cucumbers also contain potassium, thiamin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese.

For lunch, try a high-energizing detox diet soup that is a favorite for detox diets. Combine one avocado with two spring onions, a half red or green pepper, a cucumber, a half-ounce of fresh spinach, half a clove of garlic and about one-third cup of yeast-free vegetable bouillon. Add the juice of one lemon or lime and, if you want, add a little coriander, cumin, or parsley. Blend the avocado and vegetable bouillon until it forms a paste, and then add the other ingredients. Soup’s on!

A wonderful detox diet dinner treat is Warm Broccoli Soup. Start by lightly steaming (5-6 minutes) six to eight good-sized broccoli heads. Put the steamed broccoli into a blender with one-half an avocado, one-third of a red onion, one stick of celery, a handful of raw spinach, an inch of ginger root. Blend well and then add cumin, Bragg liquid amino, garlic, and ground black pepper for taste. This cold weather favorite is an excellent way to return your body’s chemical balance to its naturally alkaline state.

These are just a few of the many detox diet recipes you can find on the Internet. The most important part of this process is getting lots of water and essential nutrients while also avoiding harmful food additives and preservatives and the sugar most modern processesd foods are loaded with. Don’t put it off another day! Eat healthy! Start your new healthy life with an effective detox diet.

Low calorie diets don’t work either. It’s actually not very healthy for your body. When it comes to burning fat, your system is much slower with the low calorie diets. You’ll lose weight at the beginning but then you will suddenly notice that you aren’t losing weight anymore. Always remember, that a low calorie intake is practically depriving yourself of food – not allowing you to lose weight the healthy way. In fact, after a while, the combination of low-grade starvation and stress will trigger an anti-stress hormone that makes your body horde calories as fat around the belly. Exactly the opposite of what you want.
