Red, irritated, or burning eyes can make simple, everyday tasks like looking at someone, reading a magazine, or surfing the web a bother.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Sometimes, red, irritated eyes can be caused by eye infections – talk to your doctor if you don't see an improvement in symptoms in 3 or 4 days. Most of the time, red, irritated, or burning eyes are not a cause for concern. However, if you experience eye pain, changes in vision, continued redness, irritation, or burning of the eye, or if the condition worsens or persist for more than 72 hours, see your doctor as soon as possible.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">You should also call your doctor if you experience light sensitivity or have green or yellow discharge from the eye, or if you experience any other unexplained symptoms.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima; font-size: 8pt;">Source(s):</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima; font-size: 8pt;">© McNeil Consumer Healthcare, division of Johnson & Johnson Inc. 2010and Herbalife.</span><br />

<tr> <td style="padding: 0cm;" valign="top"><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">By Prof. Jane Plant, PhD, CBE</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">I had no alternative but to die or to try to find a cure for myself. I am a scientist - surely there was a rational explanation for this cruel illness that affects one in 12 women in the UK ?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy. I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I felt certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted to live.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some of which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know that certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset of womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breast cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many risk factors, which we can control easily.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancer came from my husband Peter, who is also a scientist.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Why didn't Chinese women in China get breast cancer?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">I had collaborated once with Chinese colleagues on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and I remembered some of the statistics.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">The disease was virtually non-existent throughout the whole country. Only one in 10,000 women in China will die from it, compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and the even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">It is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with less urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong , the rate rises to 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">It seemed obvious to me that some lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or the environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of contracting breast cancer.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences in breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, it isn't genetic.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese people move to the West, within one or two generations their rates of breast cancer approach those of their host community.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completely Western lifestyle in Hong Kong . In fact, the slang name for breast cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This is because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what is termed ' Hong Kong food'.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything from ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "Hong Kong food", because of its availability in the former British colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China ..</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breast cancer and the shockingly high incidence in this country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off, middle-class, Western lifestyle.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed in my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads to similar conclusions.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible, only 0.5 men in every 100,000.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">In England, Scotland and Wales , however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it is a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier and higher socio-economic groups, those that can afford to eat rich foods.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">We examined scientific data that pointed us in the general direction of fats in diets.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">esearchers had discovered in the 1980s that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were from fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">"The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental and emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an important insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw in your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into place and the whole picture is clear.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unable to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of my close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down the cheese course at dinner parties.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese life who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. The tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of food allergies .</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digest the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believe that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort of deficiency. Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrong food.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot of dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yogurt. I had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but lean minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-up dairy cow.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth case of cancer, I had been eating organic yogurts as a way of helping my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good' bacteria.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yogurt had been implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and had them record in detail what they normally ate. Wish I'd been made aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decided to give up not just yogurt but all dairy produce immediately Cheese, butter, milk and yogurt and anything else that contained dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results. Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from my doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitter truth.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lump was still the same size.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to shrink.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one week after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch. Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on the graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as the tumor got smaller and smaller.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">And, very significantly, I noted that instead of declining exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the tumor's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line heading off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (or remission) of the tumor.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairy produce from my diet, I practiced an hour of meditation then felt for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was very experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered all five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband to feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London . He examined me thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumor had been. He was initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot find it." None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system) to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed my ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understand that he now uses maps showing cancer mortality in China in his lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancer is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">I believe that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce, and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining the health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">t was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that a substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous health implications.

</tbody></table><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">The gradual changes in our bodies that occur as part of the aging process also affect our sleep. Even in healthy older people, sleep becomes more fragile. It becomes harder to <a href="https://www.herbalhealthdirect.com/barb/product/targeted-nutrition/us-sleep-now-">settle into sleep</a>, and more awakenings occur throughout the night. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">These changes have been demonstrated in sleep laboratory studies. Sleep efficiency (the time spent asleep compared to time in bed), falls from its high values in youth (95%-98%) to 70%-80% in older age. Also, the amount of light sleep increases with age, and the amount of deep sleep is reduced.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Additionally, the arousal threshold falls as we age, so that sounds and other interruptions are more likely to awaken us. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Another aspect of aging is that the normal circadian pattern (24-hour rhythm) of sleep gradually weakens, and sleep tends increasingly to be spread across the 24-hour day rather than being consolidated in the nighttime sleep period. All of these changes result in the common complaint of the elderly: that <a href="https://www.herbalhealthdirect.com/barb/product/targeted-nutrition/us-sleep-now-">sleep is shorter</a> and less restorative than it was in their youth. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Most elderly people notice that their sleep is interrupted by other changes in their bodies. For example, muscle or joint pains may make it difficult to get comfortable, and most people over the age of 65 must visit the bathroom at least once during the night. However, these are normal aspects of aging. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">The most problematic and long-term sleep difficulties in the elderly are due to medical conditions (for example, respiratory disease, arthritis and heart disease) and psychiatric problems (such as clinical depression and dementia). In addition, specific sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and periodic limb movement disorder are also associated with age, and affect sleep. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Since disturbed sleep is common in the elderly, it can be difficult to distinguish between a normal aging process and a disease state. Therefore, a medical check-up is needed to determine the cause when older individuals experience persistent trouble in falling or staying asleep that is associated with daytime problems (for example, marked sleepiness, mood changes, pronounced fatigue, forgetfulness, loss of interest or pleasure, etc.). </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Good lifestyle habits result in better sleep Poor sleep habits can worsen the physiological changes associated with aging. Therefore, by simply changing these habits, the sleep problem may be reduced or eliminated, resulting in a better quality of life. Helpful strategies include reducing caffeine intake, avoiding large, heavy meals late at night, and reducing daytime naps.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Also, active seniors report fewer sleep problems than their inactive counterparts. Physical exercise such as walking briskly for 30 to 40 minutes has beneficial effects on sleep, regardless of age. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Specific sleep disorders</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Just as medical and psychiatric illnesses become more common as we age, specific sleep disorders are also more common, and affect the amount and quality of sleep.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Sleep apnea refers to breathing problems during sleep, and is estimated to affect 1 out of every 4 people over the age of 60. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">In obstructive sleep apnea, loud snoring and pauses in breathing are noticed by the bed partner, but the sleeper may have no complaints apart from sleepiness in the day. Obstructive sleep apnea is due to narrowing or closure of the airway during sleep, and is caused by many factors, including obesity. The breathing disturbance causes brief awakenings, which disrupt sleep but are not usually recalled in the morning. Common associated symptoms are difficulty with memory, concentration and thinking, and daytime sleepiness, including sleepiness while driving. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Obstructive sleep apnea requires treatment such as use of a device; which uses air pressure to keep the throat open, plus other strategies such as weight loss. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">The second, less common type of breathing disturbance associated with age is called central sleep apnea. This type of sleep apnea is caused by a failure, during sleep, of the brain's control of the breathing process. In this condition snoring is usually absent. Sighing breaths or shallow breathing may be noted by the bed partner. Unlike patients with obstructive sleep apnea, patients with central sleep apnea are more likely to remember their awakenings and complain of light and fragmented sleep. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Periodic limb movement disorder</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">About half of all people aged 65 or over experience twitching in the legs and sometimes the arms during the night. When these twitches and jerks are prominent and frequent, the condition is called periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD). Diagnosis of PLMD requires a sleep laboratory evaluation to confirm the presence of the movements and their effects on sleep. Commonly, these movements occur in "batches," and can occur as frequently as 2 or 3 times a minute. The sufferer may complain of marked sleep disruption, or may not be aware of their presence at all. PLMD usually causes insomnia (difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep) and, more rarely, excessive daytime sleepiness.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">People with PLMD may also experience "restless legs" when awake. Restless legs syndrome is present when a peculiar and difficult-to-describe sensation occurs in the calves or thighs while at rest. Characteristically, it is relieved by movement but recurs on resting again. Both PLMD and restless legs syndrome are treated with a variety of medications. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">REM sleep behaviour disorder</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Normally, during the dreaming part of sleep (called the rapid eye movement or REM part of sleep), the body is paralyzed. However, in patients with REM sleep behavior disorder, this does not occur, resulting in an enactment of dreams. A variety of behaviors can occur associated with dream enactment (striking out, swearing, falling, etc.), and self-injury or injury of the bed partner may occur. This disorder is more common in men over the age of 50, and can be associated with other neurological disorders. The drug clonazepam improves sleep and reduces dream-enactment behaviors.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima; font-size: 8pt;"> <i>Jon Fleming, MD, FRCPC, <br />

In order to supply our bodies with these nutrients we need to eat a balanced diet. Eating well helps us to achieve and maintain body compositions that enable us to do strenuous mental and physical work and remain healthy. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Everybody will have a different calorie intake and it will most likely vary from day to day. But it is essential that we give our bodies what they need to function, so we can keep functioning. So, governments, universities, and health centers around the world have developed food guides and food pyramids, in an effort to help people understand how to eat healthily.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">What makes up a balanced diet?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">While many nutrients can be synthesized by the body, other nutrients, namely essential nutrients, cannot. Therefore, we must supply them through <a href="https://www.herbalhealthdirect.com/barb/sign-up">our diet</a> – the foods we eat and drink. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Essential nutrients include 9 of the 20 amino acids found in proteins, certain fatty acids found in fats and oils, and a number of minerals and vitamins. Nutrients are generally divided into 2 categories: macronutrients and micronutrients. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Other substances, such as fibre, are recommended by doctors and nutritionists to improve movement in the gastrointestinal tract, moderate changes in blood sugar and cholesterol that occur after we've eaten, and increase the elimination of cancer-causing substances produced by the bacteria in the large intestine. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Macronutrients include fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and some minerals, and our bodies need these in large quantities on a daily basis. They make up the bulk of our diet and supply the energy and building blocks we need for <a href="https://www.herbalhealthdirect.com/barb/sign-up">growth, activity, and maintenance</a>. When these foods are digested they are turned into their basic units, namely sugars from carbohydrates, fatty acids and glycerol from fats, and amino acids from proteins. The energy content derived from each is measured in calories. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Typically, our individual calorie intakes vary greatly depending on physical activity, age, sex, and availability. But the recommended averages are generally agreed to be as follows: older adults, children, and sedentary women need roughly 1,600 calories per day; active women, older children, and sedentary men need roughly 2,000 calories per day; and young men and active adolescent boys need roughly 2,400 calories per day. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Macrominerals include calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chloride, potassium, and magnesium, and our bodies need roughly 1 to 2 grams of each per day. Water is also a macronutrient and we need 1 mL for each calorie of energy we expend, or about 2,500 mL (2.6 quarts) per day. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Essential fatty acids include linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid. Linoleic acid and linolenic acid are found in vegetable oils.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Here’s a Canadian growth statistic that’s not good news – the growing number of children and adults who are obese. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Now, 15% of adults as well as children are defined as obese. The number of overweight adults tips the scales at 33%, with up to 37% of children aged 2 to 11 considered overweight. Not a healthy trend indeed as obesity is linked to greater health risks, including heart disease and type-2 diabetes – even in children!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">If you're concerned about anyone in your family gaining too much weight, one way to tackle the situation is to adopt a healthier lifestyle – encourage everyone in your family to eat better and be more active. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Reducing the sugar in your diet can go a long way toward reducing calories. Sugar alternatives can offer a smart, low calorie option. A wide range of foods and beverages are now made with sugar substitutes. In fact, no calorie sweeteners like sucralose can even be used in cooking and baking – a great way to make the foods you love with less sugar and calories. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">The different types of sugar substitutes</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">When you’re looking to satisfy a sweet tooth, remember that not all alternative sweeteners are the same. Here’s the lowdown on some of the most popular:<br />
Sucralose</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Sucralose, approved in Canada in 1991, is 600 times as sweet as sugar. Because sucralose is made from sugar, it tastes like sugar, but it's not sugar and has no unpleasant aftertaste. Marketed under the name SPLENDA<sup>®</sup> Brand, the product is the top selling no calorie sweetener today. You can use SPLENDA<sup>®</sup> No Calorie Sweetner virtually anywhere sugar is used, even in cooking and baking where you just substitute it cup for cup with white sugar. All the Atkins diet products use sucralose, plus it's suitable for people with diabetes because it allows them to bake their favourite foods and still control their sugar intake.<br />
Saccharin</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">The oldest artificial sweetener is saccharin. Best known as the brand Sweet 'N Low<sup>®</sup>, it's about 300 to 700 times as sweet as sugar and is widely used to sweeten many commercial foods and beverages. However some say it has a bitter aftertaste, especially when a food sweetened with saccharin is heated.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Aspartame</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Aspartame, as found in NutraSweet<sup>®</sup> and Equal<sup>®</sup> brands, is about 200 times as sweet as sugar. It has often been the subject of controversy since it was approved in Canada in 1981 but is considered safe for the general population. Aspartame is not safe for people with phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disorder, who can't metabolize phenylalanine, a component of aspartame. Products made with aspartame must carry a PKU warning on the label.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;"> Acesulfame Potassium (Acesulfame K)<br />
Acesulfame Potassium, or Acesulfame K as it's often called, is also a sugar substitute. Sold under the brand name Sunett™, it is approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar. Acesulfame K is generally considered safe, and popular in food production because the taste doesn’t break down when heated. However, because it is primarily used in combination with other sweeteners for commercial production, of things such as soft drinks, frozen deserts and oral care products, Acesulfame K is not widely availabale and so is a less likely option for those looking for an everyday sugar substitute. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">More sweet alternatives</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Sugar alcohols</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Sugar alcohols, such as lactitol, mannitol and sorbitol, occur naturally in foods and come from plant products such as fruits and berries. Sugar alcohols are often used in sugar-free gums because they don’t cause tooth decay. Unlike sugar substitutes that provide sweetness without calories, sugar alcohols are absorbed by the body and do contribute calories to the diet. The most common side effects are bloating and diarrhea when sugar alcohols are eaten in excessive amounts.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Stevia<br />
Stevia is a natural sugar substitute, derived from a South American shrub whose leaves are estimated to be 300 times sweeter than cane sugar or sucrose. Because it is not absorbed through the digestive tract, Stevia doesn’t add extra calories. But Stevia comes with its fair share of controversy. Although a popular sweetener in Japan and other countries, in North America and Europe there are still questions about its safety and acceptability as an ingredient or as a sweetener. Just recently, Health Canada's Natural Health Product Directorate published guidelines that recommended <span style="color: #d99594;">daily intake limits</span>, and require product warnings that Stevia- containing products are not for pregnant women, children or those who have low blood pressure. And for now, you’ll find Stevia in health food stores, available only as a dietary supplement. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Making sweet choices for your good health<br />
For a lifetime of good health for you and your family, increased exercise and cutting calories helps. Making desserts, homemade cookies and muffins, for example, with a low-calorie sweetener like SPLENDA<sup>®</sup> No Calorie Sweetener instead of sugar is a good first step, especially since there are only 96 calories in a cup of SPLENDA<sup>®</sup> Granular vs. 770 calories in a cup of sugar. Just be sure to read the label of any products containing sugar substitutes especially if they include warnings. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">For a wide variety of delicious, low-calorie baking ideas, visit <a href="http://www.splenda.ca/"><span style="color: #d99594;">www.splenda.ca</span></a>.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima; font-size: 8pt;"> Source(s):</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima; font-size: 8pt;">© McNeil Consumer Healthcare, division of Johnson & Johnson Inc. 2006 </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">A healthy diet and a busy life: you <i>can</i> have both! Here are some easy ways to make your diet healthier:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;">Start your day with a meal replacement shake - add some protein to keep the hunger and hunger under control.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.herbalhealthdirect.com/barb"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-2Fq7PEPHGEI/TW_f7C_FDDI/AAAAAAAAAEI/g3ssW_LfYOg/s1600/Formula+1+shake.jpg" /> Formula 1 Meal Replacement</a></div><b style="color: #e06666;">Overview:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">A healthy and delicious meal that provides essential nutrients and quality ingredients in an enhanced formula proudly backed by scientific research.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="color: #e06666;">Details:</b><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Formula 1 includes soy protein, fiber and essential nutrients that can help support metabolism, cellular growth repair and production.</span><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: Optima;"> </span></div><ul style="text-align: justify;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d99594;"><b><span style="font-family: Optima;">Eat more fresh foods.</span></b><span style="font-family: Optima;"> We know you love your fast-and-easy frozen dinners. But they're high in salt, sugar and fat. To wean yourself from frozen fast food, start by making just one more fresh dinner per week. When you can't avoid a frozen food fix, pair it with a piece of fruit, some heated-up frozen veggies or a salad. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d99594;"><b><span style="font-family: Optima;">Have healthy snacks on hand.</span></b><span style="font-family: Optima;"> Bad snacks can derail the best diet. Whether you're at home or at work, have some tasty, healthy snacks close by. Instead of cookies, reach for low-fat yogurt, a fruit cup or low-fat chocolate milk. Instead of chips, try a flavored rice cake or some veggie sticks.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d99594;"><b><span style="font-family: Optima;">Get adventurous with healthy foods.</span></b><span style="font-family: Optima;"> Are you eating the same thing for lunch every day? Eating a variety of foods can help you get more of the nutrients you need. So start a healthy food adventure this week! Try a new fruit or vegetable, or make your dinner vegetarian by using tofu instead of meat.<br />
</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d99594;"><b><span style="font-family: Optima;">Replace soft drinks with water.</span></b><span style="font-family: Optima;"> Soft drinks offer nothing but sugar and empty calories. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d99594;"><b><span style="font-family: Optima;">Take smaller portions.</span></b><span style="font-family: Optima;"> Thanks to super-sized restaurant meals, our idea of a normal portion has swelled over the years. Put less on your plate, and don't try to finish everything.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d99594;"><b><span style="font-family: Optima;">Savour your food.</span></b><span style="font-family: Optima;"> Slow eaters enjoy their food more and are less likely to overeat. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d99594;"><b><span style="font-family: Optima;">Don't swear off your favorite foods forever.</span></b><span style="font-family: Optima;"> You can still enjoy the occasional chocolate bar or cookie. Just don't have them every day! </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d99594;"><b><span style="font-family: Optima;">Pump up your pantry.</span></b><span style="font-family: Optima;"> A well-stocked pantry can mean the difference between a frozen dinner and a quick, healthy meal. Here's your starter shopping list: canned tomatoes, low-sodium pasta sauce, beans, dry whole-grain pasta, brown rice, olive and canola oil, canned tuna (in water), low-sodium beef or chicken bouillon, oatmeal. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d99594;"><b><span style="font-family: Optima;">Batch it up.</span></b><span style="font-family: Optima;"> Find one day a week to make some time for cooking. Make large portions of healthy foods like chili or a tofu stir-fry. Then freeze individual serving sizes so you can bring them for lunch or pop them in the microwave for a quick dinner. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d99594;"><b><span style="font-family: Optima;">Choose the right shortcuts.</span></b><span style="font-family: Optima;"> For many of us, cooking a healthy meal every single night is just not an option. So choose healthier shortcuts: Read the nutrition label of convenience foods to find products that are lower in salt, fat and sugar. Try frozen fruits and veggies, pre-washed salads or pre-cut veggie and fruit trays.</span></li>

Calcium also helps with muscle contraction, helps blood vessels to expand and contract, and helps to send signals through the nervous system.</span><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: "Lucida Bright";"> </span><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: "Lucida Bright";"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b><i><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: "Lucida Bright";">Why is it important? </span></i></b><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: "Lucida Bright";"> Without adequate calcium from the diet, calcium can be pulled out of storage from the bones. This could cause them to weaken, which is why it is so important to consume enough calcium from foods, and supplement as necessary to meet needs. </span><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: "Lucida Bright";"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b><i><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: "Lucida Bright";">Where is it found?</span></i></b><span style="color: #d99594; font-family: "Lucida Bright";"> The richest sources of calcium are dairy products such as milk, yogurt and cottage cheese. Some leafy green vegetables, such as spinach, seaweed and kale also provide calcium. Tofu and beans can also contribute some calcium to the diet. Many foods are now calcium-fortified such as soy milks, some fruit juices, breakfast cereals, and even some breads.</span><br />

"100% fruit juice" contains naturally occurring fructose, or the sugar from the fruit. "Juice drinks" typically contain added sugar in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. Your best bet is to read the label for the total amount of sugar and calories; the more sugar, typically the higher the calorie level. Remember that many fruit "drinks" contain far less essential vitamins and minerals than juice. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Pop accounts for more than 27 percent of North Americans' beverage consumption. Too many calories from pop may cause weight gain if you're not physically active. Instead of drinking pop at meals or snacks, drink milk, water, or 100 percent fruit juices. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Beverage Facts</span></b></div><ol start="1" style="text-align: justify;" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">The average person consumes about 129 gallons of fluid per year. This includes water, milk, colas, beer, wine, etc.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">More beer than milk is consumed in the United States. We average 34 gallons of beer per person opposed to 26 gallons of milk.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;"> North Americans spend an average of 297-dollars per person on alcoholic beverages annually.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">If your nerves are on edge, try a glass of celery juice or tonic.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Food slows down the absorption rate of alcohol; you will not feel the effects as quickly as you would on an empty stomach.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Alcohol consumption has been linked to breast cancer in studies by Harvard University.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">The liver must handle 90 percent of the alcohol ingested; the other 10 percent is excreted in the urine or expired in air.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">The body uses 8 ounces of water to metabolize (break down) just 1 ounce of alcohol. Effects of dehydration may include dry mouth, hangovers, headaches, and queasy stomachs.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Fatty foods will slow down the rate at which alcohol is absorbed into the general circulation. Any food will actually slow the rate down to some degree; fatty foods break down slower than the other foods.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Canned juices are usually an enriched product since the heat used in the processing destroys most of the vitamins.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">If the fruit juice is labeled cold-pressed, it is a higher quality product with most of its vitamin content intact.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Scotch has been found to contain small amounts of nitrosamines (a carcinogen) as a result of the way malt barley is dried.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Studies show that three beers a day may control your cholesterol levels.

<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Those who drink one or two alcoholic beverages per day are less likely to die of coronary heart disease than those who abstain. Helps to reduce stress levels.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Some of the hangover problems are caused by cogeners (toxic substances caused by fermentation). Alcoholic beverages with the lowest levels of cogeners are vodka and gin. Some of the worst are bourbon, blended scotch and brandy.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">An ounce and a half of 80 proof whiskey, an 5-ounce glass of wine and a 12 ounces can of beer all have the same amount of alcohol.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Food sensitivities may increase if you consume alcohol at the same time.</span></li>

It was not determined in the study, however, whether the problem is from the grapes and the chemical quercetin, or as a result of the processing.</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: #e06666;"></div><ol start="18" style="text-align: justify;" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">To improve the taste of tomato juice, pour it into a glass bottle and add one green onion and one stalk of celery cut into small pieces.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Hot drinks do not raise body temperature.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Watered down juices go under a variety of names: Orange juice drink, orange drink, orange flavored drink and orange juice blend.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Canned beer tends to start deteriorating in approximately three months; however, it takes five months when bottled.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">A juice drink may contain up to 50 percent juice. An "ade" drink may contain up to 25 percent juice and a drink can have as little as 10 percent juice.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">When making lemonade, put the lemons through a meat grinder. You will get more juice and it will have a richer flavor. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">As a rule of thumb for almost all sauces or soups containing wine, use 1 tablespoon of wine per cup of sauce or soup.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">To keep juice cold without watering it down, place a tightly sealed plastic bag of ice into the juice.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">A liter beer may not refer to the fact that the beer is lower in calories, but may pertain to the color of the beer.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">When serving fruit juices, lemonade or punch, try making ice cubes from the drinks. These will keep the drinks from becoming watered down.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Alcohol causes excretion of zinc, possibly contributing to prostate problems as a man ages. It also causes excretion of magnesium; which may lead to extreme nervousness.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Two glasses of white wine per day can supply you with half of your daily supply of chromium. Plain grape juice will work just as well.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Wine is composed of water, alcohol, various pigments, esters, some vitamins and minerals, acids and tannins. It does not remain in a constant state and is continually changing.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Fruit juices help to maintain a proper acid-base balance in the stomach.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Fruit juices may irritate ulcers.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Bourbon is too sweet to be used in most recipes.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Wines should not be used in tart or heavily seasoned foods.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Wine should be counted as part of the total liquid in any recipe.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">To avoid curdling in recipes containing dairy products in which wine is added, try adding the wine before adding the dairy product, and then keep the dish warm until served.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Brandy, sherry and whiskey will reduce the fishiness of a seafood recipe.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">When heating wine, remember that wine will reduce from 1 cup to one-quarter cup in approximately ten minutes of cooking.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">If you wish to taste the wine in your recipe, do not add the wine until you are near completion; the alcohol content will be lost to the cooking.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Keep smaller bottles to store leftover wine. The less space between the wine and the cork, the longer it will retain its freshness.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 10pt;">Wine should be used in cooking with the utmost discretion, since it should not dominate the taste. Just use it to improve the flavor of the ingredients.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ff99cc;"> </span></span></li>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style";">When the scale doesn't budge or moves in the wrong direction, something has gone wrong with your diet.

A weight loss diary will quickly show you the culprits.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;"><span class="ilad"><b><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style";">Crash Dieting</span></b></span><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style";"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://losebig.net/BarbVine">More information on weight loss challenges</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style";"> When you cut your calories to less than 1000 calories a day, you are training your metabolism to get by with less. Soon your body adjusts to the new calorie intake and goes into starvation mode. It begins hording fat against the possibility of continued deprivation. <span class="ilad">Crash diets</span> only work for very short periods and can be dangerous to your health.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;"><b><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style";">Hidden Eating</span></b><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style";"><br />
Do you <span class="ilad">sample</span> "only a bite" without counting the cost? It is ok to take the occasional taste of high calorie snacks, but if you do it often the calories can add up fast. Keep a diary and write down every bite. As soon as your weight loss slows, examine your nibbling habits for hidden calories.<br />
<br />
<b>Not Reading Labels</b><br />
Don't trust the <span class="ilad">advertising</span> to inform you about a product. Low-fat products sometimes have more calories than their high-fat counterparts. Manufacturers often use sugar to replace the flavor lost by removing the fat. “All Natural” does not necessarily mean healthy. Read the labels carefully. <br />
<br />
While you are reading the label, note the serving size. The calories are listed per serving, but the serving size may be only one cookie or a few chips. Even a small package might hold several servings. <br />
<br />
<b>Drinking Your Calories</b><br />
Some of the popular coffee, lattes and <span class="ilad">smoothies</span> can have a substantial calorie count. Even a glass of fruit juice is concentrated in natural sugars and sometimes has sugar added. High calorie drinks don't curb your hunger. The best drink is water, it satisfies your thirst and helps purge toxins from your body.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #ea9999;"><style>

Salad seems like a good choice for a healthy diet meal. Take a second look at the dressings; many are loaded with sugar and fat. When eating out, choose the low-fat dressings and read the nutrition data whenever possible. Even better, order the dressing on the side and use it sparingly. Another problem with salads is that they are often topped with high calorie ingredients. If the chicken on top is breaded, assume it was fried unless you know better. A few nuts are healthy, but a lot adds significantly to the calorie count. Enjoy the fresh flavors of leafy greens and vegetables and watch out for high calorie additions.</span><br />

When you take the <u>time to write down what you eat</u>, it makes you more conscious of every bite and helps you find hidden problems. Evaluate your food diary whenever your weight loss slows and look for hidden calories, sugar and fat. Following these tips can help you stay on track and reach your weight loss goal.</span></div><br />

High Protein Foods</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">What is protein? How much protein do we need? Is it possible to eat too much protein? These are important questions for people following a low carb way of eating, who usually are replacing part of their carbohydrate intake with protein.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">What is protein?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Protein is one of the basic building blocks of the human body, being about 16 percent of our total body weight. Muscle, hair, skin, and connective tissue are mainly made up of protein. However, protein plays a major role in all of the cells and most of the fluids in our bodies. In addition, many of our bodies' important chemicals -- enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, and even our DNA – are at least partially made up of protein. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Although our bodies are good at “recycling” protein, we use up protein constantly, so it is important to continually replace it.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids. Our bodies cannot manufacture nine amino acids, so it is important to include all these amino acids in our diets. Animal proteins such as meat, eggs, and dairy products have all the amino acids, and many plants have some of them.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Learn more about amino acids in our diet.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">How much protein do we need?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Our protein needs depend on our age, size, and activity level. Next week you will learn your own personal numbers. Please use the following until next week. An average woman under 225 lbs should have 75-100 grams of protein per day. An average man under 325 should have 125-150 grams of protein per day.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">What happens if we don’t eat enough protein?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Unlike fat and glucose, our body has little capacity to store protein. If we were to stop eating protein, our body would start to break down muscle for its needs within a day or so.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Is it OK to eat a lot more protein than the minimum recommendations?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">This is the crucial question for people on diets which are higher in protein than usual, as low carb diets tend to be. In a review of the research, the National Academy of Sciences reported that the only known danger from high animal protein diets is for individuals with kidney disease. They point out that increased protein could be helpful in treating obesity. There is also accumulating evidence that extra soy protein may help prevent osteoporosis.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Extra protein can be broken down into glucose in a process called gluconeogenesis. On low carb diets, this happens continually. One benefit of obtaining glucose from protein is that it is absorbed into the bloodstream very slowly, so it doesn’t cause a rapid blood sugar increase.</span><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18pt;"></span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18pt;"><br clear="all" style="page-break-before: always;" /></span></b><br />

This is important because when you choose to delete meat and meat products from your diet, you are deleting a major source of protein.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">If you don’t provide your body with the right amount of protein it can lead to deficiency. Protein deficiency can lead to fatigue, insulin resistance, hair loss, loss of muscle mass, low body temperature, and even hormonal irregularities. In severe cases it can even be fatal.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Soy is one of the protein food sources available, and it is a great option for vegetarians because it is a natural source and comes in many realms.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Some vegetarians choose to include soy powder when making common food recipes such as soups, stews, <span style="color: #ea9999;">muffins, and other baked goods. You can also use soy milk to make pudding or milkshakes and tofu to make casseroles. There are now many cookbooks and recipes available that include soy protein as main ingredient. For optimum benefit of soy protein in a vegetarian diet, soy should be used in moderation; in other words, don’t overdo it! Soy protein should also be ingested as part of a food source as opposed to pill form. This is so that the soy can naturally interact with other foods to create the needed amino acids and enzymes.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-size: small;">Craving comfort? Those foods you choose to lift your spirits are likely the same ones you've found comforting all your life. Comfort foods – those traditional, simple and familiar dishes– remind us of the comforts of home. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-size: small;">Mashed potatoes, meatloaf, soups or macaroni and cheese aren't fussy or foreign – instead, they are simple, satisfying and easy to prepare. The cravings we get for them may stretch all the way back to childhood. If these foods made us feel better when we were under the weather, we establish food-mood connections that can stay with us for a lifetime.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-size: small;">Aside from being relatively easy to prepare, comfort foods are usually easy to eat, too. Foods that are warm, smooth and creamy are comforting – and even better if they can be eaten with a spoon which feels good in the mouth. It's not likely that salads, for example, are at the top of anyone's comfort food list - the crunchy lettuce leaves delivered on the spiky tines of a fork are no match for chocolate pudding taken from the smooth bowl of a spoon.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-size: small;">When it comes to comfort foods, men and men are like Mars and Venus. While a few women find the act of preparing comfort foods to be soothing in itself, most women don't find much comfort in foods that require too much preparation. Foods that are ready-to-eat, yet meet the criteria for familiar and simple - like ice cream, chocolate or other sweets - are the comfort choices most sought after by women.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-size: small;">Men, on the other hand, prefer comfort foods that are more savory – like sandwiches and pizza (although ice cream ranks pretty high on their list, too). For them, foods that require preparation are more comforting – men say that these foods remind them of being doted upon by a loved one.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-size: small;">Many comfort foods can take a big bite out of your calorie budget. If you turn to them often enough, it might make sense to think of ways to lighten them up a bit. As long as the general flavor and texture of the original food aren't altered too much, it is possible that foods can be comforting and reasonably healthy at the same time.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-size: small;">For ice cream and pudding lovers, light versions of these foods are widely available, and flavored yogurts with a drizzle of chocolate syrup might be a suitable replacement. Pie lovers might warm up some chunky applesauce in the microwave, topped with a crumbled graham cracker and a sprinkle of cinnamon.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-size: small;">Boxed macaroni and cheese can be lightened by reducing the amount of butter or prepared cheese sauce called for, or by stirring in a can of seasoned stewed tomatoes.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-size: small;">Increasing the volume of food with low-calorie items might work too. Top that frozen pizza with some pre-chopped peppers or onions before you bake, or pile the sandwich high with lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers for a satisfying crunch.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-size: small;">In the end, though, it may be that only specific foods will do. For some, not any "chicken noodle soup" will do – only a particular brand, or mom's homemade version is truly comforting. The strong associations we have with these familiar foods may be too hard to break or change.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: small;">But if we can find ways to make these foods a little healthier, wouldn't that be a comfort?</span><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-family: "Bookman Old Style";"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e5b8b7; font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 8pt;">Susan Bowerman is a consultant to Herbalife.</span><br />
