The Most Important Food for Healthy Eyes (No, it’s Not Carrots)

If you are into your health in any way, shape or form – you will be in awe of what this recently researched – say about 10 years, natural anti-oxidant can do for you. It’s about time the world embraced this – but of course you can’t unless you know about it. That’s why I’m putting this out for you to find out about – and no I’m not paid a cent by any of the supplement makers or Dr Joe Mercola for this article!

Do you have any idea what causes wild Pacific salmon to have its color? It is one of the hottest new nutrient discoveries from a marine algae called astaxanthin, which is a far more powerful cousin of beta-carotene.

If farm raised salmon don’t eat this or are not given artificial colors, they are a dark grey fish. Also, you might not know that baby flamingos are born white and they don’t become pink until they start eating food with astaxanthin in it.

It is clearly one of the most amazing supplements I have ever learned about, the only one that exceeds it, from my perspective, is vitamin D.

Astaxanthin belong to a class of naturally occurring pigments called carotenoids which have powerful antioxidant properties that are crucial for your health. Carotenoids are the compounds in your foods that give them that vibrant cornucopia of color,from green grasses to red beets, to the spectacular yellows and oranges of your bell peppers..

There are more than 700 naturally occurring carotenoids, but most people are familiar with only a few. Right now, you probably have about 10 different carotenoids circulating through your bloodstream. Other carotenoids are easily obtainable through a good diet rich in fresh organic produce. However, astaxanthin is harder to come by.

What is Organic Weight Loss?

May 12th, 2012 Posted in Foods and Dishes | No Comments »

Weight Loss will always be a topic of immense interest and discussion, even decades from now, I believe. However, it is interesting to see how this topic has evolved over time! First there was only Exercise, then there were diet plans, then came weight loss supplements, detox diets, and now its going full circle again with Organic Weight Loss Propaganda. What is Organic weight loss? Have you heard about it? I for sure had not known the term until few days ago, when I came across an article discussing this new trend in achieving weight loss.

You’ll find tonnes of products in the market that guarantee rapid weight loss, but the masters of the trade know that there’s no quick-fix route for this destination. Healthy food choices with well-structured diet meals, ample exercise and overall fitness is essential in achieving this goal. Organic weight loss is a means to achieve this end, as it focuses on nourishing the body with vital supplements found naturally in food.

The truth is, once you follow a proper diet and exercise regime, there are things that can give you that extra boost you need to finally take the weight off once and for all. One such “extra boost” is organic food. These are foods grown without hormones, preservatives, pesticides, or other harmful chemicals. They are designed to grow naturally in the environment and work within the human body in a natural way, replenishing lost fluids and nutrients, increasing metabolism, and thereby helping lose those excess pounds naturally.

For people interested in this new and upcoming diet loss plan, you must visit Kirstie Alley’s Organic Liaision, which is a great resource to understand more about this form of weight loss, and also an introduction to Rescue Me, their unique diet plan. Organic Liaison offers the first ever USDA certified organic diet food delivery. They encourage a healthy lifestyle based on eating organic meals and promote eating fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy foods grown without the use of inorganic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, growth hormones, antibiotics and other harmful chemicals and toxic substances.

In the end, organic weight loss is not much different from the traditional method of eating healthy food, and focusing on small portions with 5 meals a day. It works with the same philosophy, but is just packaged in a new way. Our bodies are not designed to break down the (toxins)chemicals that are a part of non-organic food products, so we end up placing extra stress on our organs, which results in a build up of chemical substances where fat is stored, and in turn to over-weight and obesity. Smart choices lead to a healthier you, as well as a healthier environment. So take some time to research the importance of organic food, and how it can help you achieve a sustainable weight loss. I just wanted to get a word out about this latest alternative in the market, in the end, you are the best judge of your personal situation!
