One of the main the problems everyone faces when going out to eat is that we have no control over the amount of food that is served. Even when a salad is ordered, often times that one simple option which most people assume to be “healthy” can easily surpass the 1,000 calorie mark all due to what's added and the portion size served. Therefore if you want to challenge yourself a little bit, set a one week weight loss goal not to eat out one single time. Can you do it??

There will never be an end to the leafy greens you can eat if you shift your attention to those eaten by the natives of other lands.

To treat a fever without medicine, you can use the whole sessile joyweed plant. A carotenoid remedy for eye problems, it is also a great natural skin and hair beautifier, giving you a glow all over, being low in fats and calories, and high in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. So making this joyweed a part of your diet twice weekly is recommended for good health. An antidote to body heat, roselle leaves will keep many a heat stroke and sunstroke away. Rich in Vitamin C content, roselle greens is simply a great natural way to boost your immune system. You might soon have to take it easy on leafy greens as more and more green veggies are making themselves known.

Our health suffers because we became too trusting. We believe what the food labels tell us or worse, we don't even read them.

Learning to recognize the difference between hunger and appetite is important in regaining control of eating. This article offers a simple yet effective exercise for developing that control.

With so much junk food readily available for our consumption, it's no surprise that obesity and its related illnesses are on the rise. We as consumers blindly purchase the foods, without knowing exactly what we are eating. While some may read labels to look at calories and macronutrients, they completely disregard the ingredients.

I am asked to evaluate growth curves and assess normal weight gain in infants, toddlers and children on an almost daily basis. Naturally, a decline or acceleration in a child's growth curves can make a caregiver extremely anxious about their child's nutrition and development. However, some fluctuations in growth curves may be perfectly normal and no cause for alarm.

Having a system in place is a better way of control than just picking at random. This especially applies when it comes to food which determines our health.

An unbalanced diet can lead to a host of health problems that may be prevented by eating moderate amounts of leaves of known plant species. An excellent source of fiber, edible leaves contain good quantities of proteins, vitamins and minerals. By cooking the leaves, in most cases, the excessive heat will kill off any toxic chemicals. The Kon Tum province of Vietnam, for instance, offers a distinctly unique leaf salad, consisting of 40 to 50 kinds of leaves, half of which can only be gathered from nearby forests. Then, there is a Thai street food where wild pepper leaves are folded into bite-sized cones to be filled with assorted foods. Further, from a small Hakka-Chinese village of Malaysia, are some confectionery experts in 3 local artisan leaf cakes, made from medicinal weeds growing profusely in that region. Eating leaves, can be pretty exciting to an otherwise plain plant-based diet and it is totally satisfying, as you will see.
