Waxing Lyrical About Acai Foods

From time to time there comes a food that is so highly thought off the even the basic scientific methods of healthy skepticism are thrown out of the window. One such food is Acai. I have read of many incredible stories about this wonder food. I will try to give you some the details and then you can judge for yourselves.

According to them eating the acai berry is one of the most effective ways of keeping healthy. Acai is the latest super food to hit the market and everyone has probably seen it on TV or in magazines. Originating from the Amazon, it is credited with extraordinary benefits. Apparently the acai berry contains more antioxidants than any other food on the market. Antioxidants are useful for strengthening the immune system, improving skin or hair. They may also assist in combating certain types of cancers as well as improving general circulation. Consequently they are credited with being able to slow down the ageing process. I have to admit that I am rather skeptical because if that were possible the richest people would live for quite a long time but in fact people in the developed world face a lot of problems related to ageing.

Anyway according to the promoters of this berry, the benefits extend as far as dealing with digestion and heart problems. They claim that the acai berry will help with functions within the digestive tracts and is a great source of fiber. The acai fruit also helps to eliminate the risk of strokes and heart diseases according to those who support its use. It will also aide in lowing cholesterol. They then move to the conclusion that it also helps to control weight. The reason why I am skeptical is that the fruit seems to be doing so many things. The worry is that it is a mistress of many trades but a master of none. Surely one fruit cannot fully have all those extraordinary characteristics.

If one was to believe everything that was said, the acai berry is the ultimate in super foods. Apparently they improve heart health, improve the digestive system, aid in fighting off illnesses and cancers as well as assisting in the weight loss programs. Maybe I am being overly cautious but it all seems a bit too good to be true. I am not saying that the benefits are not there. It is just that I am yet to be convinced. Please share your thoughts on this.

Here We go to Weight Loss Burning

I welcome you to my blog about weight loss burning. Please feel free to share your ideas and comments on this new blog. I think it is a controversial topic and the more people are able to share their ideas the better. Today I will start off by going through some of the key issues and problems facing dieters who want to obtain guaranteed fat loss. I am actually even happy to have general comments on health…that is how desperate I am. LOL. Anyway today I want to continue with the themes of giving diets and weight watchers tips on what to do and when to do it.

It is important to have regular meals. Do not for one minute imagine that if you skip meals you are saving yourself from extra calories. What you are actually doing is setting yourself up to get so hungry that you end up eating much more than you planned. This is will cause problems for the digestive system and will also pile on the calories. Dieting needs regularity and routine.

Even when you have food, it is important to know what state it is in and the impact on your diet. It is far better to have fresh fruit and vegetables rather than canned ones. This is because of the ever present problems of additives and sugar or even salt. Eating raw vegetables is a good habit because you are then able to retain most of the nutrients. Obviously some vegetables are better suited to this. For example it is far more difficult to eat raw potatoes than to eat raw carrots.

There are certain foods which are good in small quantities but as they quantities rise, they create more and more problems. Eggs should only be eaten in moderation and not more than one egg per twenty four hours. Eggs contain excellent nutritional qualities but have a propensity to push your calorie count high if they are misused. The same goes for chocolate which is really a celebratory meal for special occasions and not a daily indulgence.

The more varied your diet is, the easier it will be for you to stick with it. The monotony of dieting is one of the tough problems when trying to control your weight. However if you design your menu with some imagination, you are likely to enjoy better than normal results. Variety also means that you are receiving as many basis nutrients as possible.
