Nutty Nutrition

 This is nutty nutrition. Add one ounce of walnuts to your weight loss diet per day.One ounce (14 half shelled) meet the dietary recommendation of the food nutrition board of the NAIM for omega 3 fatty acids.

Almonds, one ounce ( 20-24 whole) per day provide 35% of  your daily vitamin E. Vitamin E helps promote healthy aging.

Peanuts are legumes along with dry beans and lentils. One ounce provide 10% of that daily recommendation of folate.  Folate helps reduce the incidence of birth defects and decreses risk of heart disease.

2003 study at Brigham and Womens Hospital and the Harvard school of Public health found that three times as many people trying to loose weight were able to stick a diet that contains nuts.

The Principals of Good Health

Eat Lots of Fruit

Feed you sweat tooth with fruit.Instead of desert, consume natural fruits after every meal. Fruits  are full od essenial vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin C,an anitoxident and carotenoids.Antioxidents and carotenoids have cancer preventing qualities..Fruits protect the cardiovascular system, and against such disease as obesity,cataracts, diabetes, stroke,diverticulosis, alzheimers,and asthma.Fruits are also high in fiber,which not only helps you feel full, but promotes long healthy life.Fiber allows your digestive system run smoothly and may even keep your body from digesting some of the calories  consumed. I recommend 3-4 serving of fruit per day.

Eat Lots Of Vegtables

Vitamins, minerals anioxidents are concentrated in vegatables.as with fruit, the concentartions of antioxidents in vegtables prevents oxidative stress that contributes to many dieases.Mnay studies  have shown that vegatables decrease the risk of developing colon cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer,breadt cancer, stomach cancer, oral cavity cancer as well as hormone related tumors.I recommend consuming 4-6 servigs per day.

Drink alot of water

Our bodies are made up of mostly water.Water is the most important nutrient your body needs to stay healthy.Every day your body looses 10-12 cups of water per day.Water regulates body temperature, transports nutrient and oxygen,helps cushion our bodies from injury and keeps are body in perfect equlibrium. I recommend at least eight,8oz glasses per day.

The Attack on What We Eat

Inflammation is a set of symptoms thats are the result of our immune system creating inflammatory protogladins to attack invadors ,such as injury and infection. The symptoms include pain, swelling, heat, and redness. The immune system responds in a simular way to an unsatisfactory diet and can lead to chronic inflammation leading to or exaccerbating condition such as arthritis, and auto immune dieases such as lupus.

A typical  anti inflammatory diet aides in the creation of anti inflammatory prostogladins, thereby reducing chronic inflammation. This can be achieved by a diet consuming good fats, such as omega 3 fatty acids, found in cold water fish such as salmon, herring, anchioves, Nuts and seeds such as walnut , almonds, pumpkin seeds , fruits and vegtables such as apples, blackberries, strawberries, mango,and kiwi, brussels sprouts,broccoli, and grains such as brown rice, lentil, and chic peas. 

Bad fats ( polysaturated), produce pro prostogladins which creates inflammation resulting in symptoms. Bad fats are found in processed foods, dairy, cheese, whole milk, fatty beaf, fried foods and should be avoided.

The basic principal of this diet is a diet with good fats, grains nuts fruits and vegtables
