Detox with a Brown Rice Diet

Posted in Life Of Health, Online Nutrition Resources at 6:10 pm by admin

A 7 day brown rice diet is one of the easiest forms of fasting for the uninitiated because it provides essential nourishment, cleanses the body slowly (thus producing lighter detox side effects) and doesn’t demand fasting from food as a juice detox can.

According to the brown rice diet detox program, you only eat brown rice for 5 to 7 days. You won’t suffer the problem of being hungry or suffering jitters or dizziness. You can flavour your brown rice with Bragg’s Liquid Amino Acids, similar to soy sauce but healthier as it simply contains natural sodium. A tablespoon of miso with ginger powder and garlic powder will spice up your brown rice diet. Other herbs for seasoning are also acceptable, but be sure not to overdo it. For a little metabolic lift, add chili pepper pepper. You can also use a bit of brown rice syrup, agave nectar or pure maple syrup for a slightly sweet alternative. But only do this once a day, if at all.

In order to maintain good blood sugar levels, eat 5 or 6 small portions of brown rice each day. For convenience, you can make one or two day’s worth of rice at a time. Here’s how to cook brown rice.

Be sure to have at least 3 quarts of water each day. This can include unsweetened herbal teas as well. Peppermint is a light detoxifying tea, red clover tea will support body detoxification and a laxative tea at bedtime will keep your colon moving.

Increasing your metabolism is a crucial element of long term weight loss. Following these suggestions will improve your metabolic rate and support your weight loss, including speedy weight loss.

Skipping Meals. When and how often you eat throughout the day influences weight loss and metabolism.

It’s key to recognize that not having breakfast is related to a bigger chance of overweight and even obesity.

Big Meals. When we eat a lot of food at once, our body is overtaken and our system slows down. The super size eating patterns of American culture is one of the paramount reasons we are so heavy. Smaller more frequent meals help regulate blood sugar levels and support your metabolic rate stable and active.

Lack of Exercise. Exercise is a crucial factor to promoting metabolic activity. Muscle mass is tied to higher calorie burning rates. The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn, even when you’re relaxing. In fact, for every pound of muscle you have, your body will burn as many as 50 surplus calories a day, everything else being equal.

Fats and the Brain

Posted in Online Nutrition Resources at 8:49 am by admin

It is said that the brain is 40-60 % fat. So when we take fats out of our diet, our brain along with other parts of our body suffers. What we need to do is change the bad fats that we eat to good fats. Good fats nourish our body and keep us young and healthy. Good fats consist of: flax oil, extra virgin olive oil, salmon oil, fish oils, primrose oil, hemp oil and their combinations. Also eating raw nuts, seeds and avocadoes will provide good fats in the diet; the body cannot make them, they must be consumed.

Firstly, the good fats (efa’s) are a part of the structure of the cell membrane. They help form the barrier against viruses, bacteria and other foreign substances. This barrier also keeps important items in the cell, such as: genetic materials, proteins, enzymes and the cell organelles. What goes in and what goes out of each cell is also regulated by the cell membrane. It is said the health of the body is dependant on the health of its cells.

These efa’s are also precursors of things like DHA, which is needed by the brain, as well as the adrenals and eyes. These good fats are used for energy production, oxygen use and electron transport, all of these of course are important to healthy brain function. Basically, without proper fats in the diet, our brain will suffer.

Mental health is so important. Without good fats in the diet, the prostaglandins that regulate the neurotransmitters (the chemicals that transmit information from nerve cell to nerve cell) cannot be made. Mental illness can set in, conditions such as: Schizophrenia, Bipolar, Senility and other undiagnosed conditions, irritability, PMS, anger, etc. Essential Fatty Acids have a calming affect on the nerves and the body; hyperactive children are usually benefited by efa’s. Depression and aging are also helped by efa supplementation.

To get more good fats in your diet, eat fish, raw nuts, seeds, avocadoes, green leafy vegetables and cold pressed oils: flax, hemp and their combinations. Never cook with these good fats, frying should be done with butter or coconut oil.

Remember its not how much fat you consume, it’s the type of that counts.
