Seaweed
These seaweed harvesters are conscientious, ecologically aware, and willing to be listed. There are many other sources of seaweed. I encourage you to support local harvesters or to spend one weekend a year at the ocean harvesting your own. |
Carol Krucoff and Mitchell Krucoff, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Maintain adequate intake of dietary potassium (approximately 3,500 mg), preferably from fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apricots, bananas, prunes, orange juice, spinach, dry peas, and beans. If you are taking diuretics for your blood pressure, consult your physician about taking sea salt or potassium supplements.
* Maintain adequate intake of dietary calcium and magnesium from foods such as low- and nonfat dairy products and whole grains, leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, and beans. | | To maximize weight loss, however, exercise should be combined with healthy eating, which means:
^ Eating a sensible, well-balanced diet with emphasis on fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
* Striving to reduce your intake of fats, so that they make up less than 30 percent of your diet.
* Not "supersizing" it. In America, portions are often excessive, and many people don't realize that one serving of meat is two to three ounces (about the size of a deck of cards) and one serving of a bagel is one-half of a small one. (An entire bagel is two to four servings, depending on the size. |

LECITHIN: Break Up the Fats in Your Body
The food supplement lecithin can help emulsify, or break apart, the saturated fat in your body so that it doesn't make your skin more oily, says Loughran. Follow the dosage recommendations on the label. |
James F. Balch, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Eat fresh fruits, salads, and vegetables—especially the green leafy, yellow, and red ones—as often as possible. These live whole foods contain the life-bearing enzymes. Try to eat them raw as often as possible. Their juices are also very healthy. It's good to eat locally grown food. However, you should be aware that the soils in some areas of the U.S. are deficient in minerals (e.g., selenium) and vitamins, which are necessary for good health. Therefore, it's important to supplement your diet with a good multivitamin, multimineral complex. |
Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Regardless of the pesticide controversy, fresh fruits and vegetables are the most nutritious foods in the diet and should be consumed in greater quantities whether or not they're organic, homegrown, or grown by conventional methods.
ORGANIC VERSUS CONVENTIONAL— WHICH IS BETTER?
Should you buy organic produce? The answer to that question depends on your reasons behind the purchase. If you are concerned about the environment, then yes, buy organic, since organic farming is much gentler on the land. |
Ralph Golan, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Such a prudent diet would consist of lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes, and, if you are not vegetarian, one serving a day generally of either low-fat fish or white poultry meat, lean (or preferably, extra lean) cuts of meat, or wild game. Low-fat cottage cheese, nonfat yogurt, or nonfat (or one percent) milk would also be included.
Seeds and nuts, nut butters, and the higher-fat cheeses should be used sparingly, although vegetarians could be somewhat less strict here. Ice cream and other high-fat foods would be considered occasional treats. |
Gary Null, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Constipation
This problem may also be the result of hormonal shifts and can be corrected by increased fluid consumption with at least eight to 12 glasses of water daily, as well as more fiber from whole grains, bran, and fresh fruits and vegetables. In severe cases, whole psyllium seeds often help. One teaspoon of seeds is placed in a cup of water, and after drinking this, it is important to drink an additional cup of water. Castor oil and other irritating laxatives should be avoided, including herbs such as cascara sagrada and senna. | | To prevent and combat arthritis, the types of foods that should be eaten most often are complex carbohydrates with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. There should also be a small amount of high-quality proteins and fats. These foods are especially protective:
Foods rich in folic acid, such as lentils, split peas, barley, alfalfa, soy, and oats. Garlic and onions; their high sulfur content stops inflammation.
Deep-sea cold-water fish, such as salmon, trout, tuna, sardines, and mackerel. These contain omega fatty acids that lubricate the joints. | | Bright colors in fresh fruits and vegetables are usually indicative of flavonoids, phytochemicals (or plant chemicals) that are efficient free radical scavengers. Citrin, hesperidin, quercetin, and rutin are names of some of these disease-fighting substances.
•Vitamin E...Much like vitamin C, vitamin E prevents cancer by preventing free radical damage, and activating immune system cells against tumors and infections. In clinical studies, 400 to 1,200 IU daily have been shown to help patients with breast or cervical cancer. | | If constipation is a problem, include fresh fruits, especially apples, figs, peaches, berries, oranges, and prunes. Vegetables, raw juices, and sprouts are other good choices. Eat lightly, and go on a short vegetable or fruit juice fast, if possible. It is also helpful to drink a glass of warm water in the morning and take a tablespoon of olive oil before retiring at night. The rest of the diet should focus on whole grains and legumes, with small amounts of nuts and seeds. Note that, despite its name, whole wheat bread contains a lot of white flour. | | A high-fiber diet works to this end; think in terms of whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, you want the diet to be low in fat; avoid, particularly, products high in saturated fat (e.g., dairy products and red meat). Lastly, the liver may aid in lowering estrogen levels. Therefore, it is a good idea to eat foods high in B-complex vitamins, such as whole grains and legumes, and avoid alcohol, fat, and sugar, in order to promote a healthy liver.
Supplements
Itamin and mineral supplements can also be helpful in reducing inflammation. Recommended supplements include:
•Vitamin C. | | Nutrition
Proper dietary intake is crucial in preventing gingivitis and periodontitis. fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fiber should be mainstays of the menu, according to biologic dental practitioners. Raw fruits and vegetable are especially beneficial because of their ability to enhance enzyme functioning. People who are able to assimilate dairy products should continue to do so, many practitioners advise, because dairy products can provide the body with an abundant quantity of calcium. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Botanically, fruits fall into four categories: aggregate fruits, such as bananas and dates, which grow in clusters; berries, such as strawberries and raspberries, which have many seeds throughout; drupes, such as peaches and plums, which contain a single stone or pit; and pomes, such as apples and pears, which contain cores and small seeds. |
Francois Couplan, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  However, the fresh fruits of several species, such as R. cathartica (m.a.) are emetic and cathartic. When dried, they are purgative, depurative and diuretic, and were used medicinally.
They contain glucosides and other substances.
The bark of R. purshiana - W. Coast - is called "cascara sagrada" (sacred bark in Spanish). It is often used medicinally for its gentle laxative action, but only after preparation: the bark must be dried for a year at room temperature, or for an hour in an oven above 210°F. The fresh bark is emetic and cathartic. |
Ralph Golan, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | They're natural foods, simply what nature provides for us: whole grains, legumes, fresh vegetables, sea vegetables, fresh fruits, seeds and nuts, eggs, meat, fish, poultry, and milk products—all obtained as fresh as possible, in season, and preferably grown or obtained locally. (And, of course, "natural foods" also include unrefined oils, natural sweeteners, and condiments such as unrefined sea salt, soy sauce, unpasteurized miso, herbs, and spices. |
Dr. John Heinerman
See book keywords and concepts |  If an animal is routinely fed fresh fruits and organic vegetables and some range-fed or contaminant-free meat, then it is going to not only feel good but also have the 'perfect look,' I inquired. "The eyes will have a luster to them; the coat will be shiny; there will be a spring or bounce in the animal's step; it will have no odor about it; the elimination cycle will always be normal; and its temperament will be fairly even and consistent," she stated.
Consumers need to be aware of labels that read meat by-products or beef by-products. | | A number of fresh fruits and vegetables have varying amounts of vitamin C in them. Animals may prefer some over others. With a little practice, an owner can determine which ones his or her pet likes or doesn't like.
Animal Abandonment
An Alarming Trend
I seldom watch TV talk shows, esteeming most of them as so much empty-headed nonsense or sensationalism broadcast for ratings appeal. However, on the day following Christmas, Friday, December 26, 1997, I happened to have my set turned on as I ate breakfast and read the morning newspaper. |
Glenn W. Geelhoed, M.D. and Jean Barilla, M.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  You can easily get more fiber in your diet by eating high-fiber cereals, whole-grain breads and muffins, and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables are especially good. Research in Greece, Japan and the United States indicates that eating raw or cooked broccoli or cabbage once a week can significantly decrease your chances of getting colon cancer. And Norwegians, who typically include a lot of crucifers in their diets, have fewer and smaller pre-cancerous polyps of the colon.
Exercise. | | In addition, even though we may boost our intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, more and more of them are being grown synthetically in over-farmed soil that just doesn't contain enough minerals. As a result, many people these days suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies that they may not even be aware of. Please refer to the chart on page 50 for food sources of vitamins and minerals.
Vitamins: The Big Four
Vitamins help produce enzymes, and enzymes help our bodies convert food to energy and carry out vital biological processes. |
Michael T. Murray, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Numerous studies show that individuals consuming more fruits and vegetables are less likely to develop cataracts or macular degeneration compared to individuals who do not regularly consume fruits and vegetables. fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in a broad range of antioxidant compounds, including vitamin C, carotenes, flavonoids, and glutathione. All of these antioxidants are critically involved in important mechanisms that prevent the development of macular degeneration. |

A number of things could cause this irregular beating: a failure of electrical impulses within the heart,- scarring from previous heart attacks,- a drug reaction,- a disruption in body chemicals such as calcium, magnesium, or potassium,- or a malfunction of the thyroid gland. | | Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Foods particularly good at promoting regularity include figs, prunes, blackberries, bran, almonds, and apples. Avoid foods made from low-fiber, highly processed grains, such as grocery store cereals, crackers, and pastries.
ž Monitor your magnesium. This mineral can have a laxative effect. Good food sources of magnesium include nuts, blackstrap molasses, whole grains, soy, and seafood. If you do take magnesium supplements, most nutritionists agree that you should balance them with two times as much calcium. | | Whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables also contain zinc, but processed foods are often low in the mineral.
ž Caffeine. If your sweetheart's thoughts turn to dreamland just as yours turn to dalliance, a cup of coffee with a chocolate bar on the side just might keep him or her awake long enough to make the most of the evening. But caffeine does more than simply keep the sandman at bay. One study found that regular coffee drinkers are considerably more sexually active than persons who don't drink coffee.
ž Chocolate. Finally, an excuse to indulge! |
Francois Couplan, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | A delicious juice can be extracted from the fresh fruits. It can be fermented into a wine. Blackberry juice was sometimes used to color grape wine in Europe.
The Indians used to dry blackberries and raspberries to preserve them, but the result is not as successful as with more fleshy fruits: little remains but the numerous seeds.
Inuits used to simply freeze the fruits to keep them through the winter. This is a common way of preserving the fruits nowadays. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Treatment and Preventive Measures
DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Change your diet to include fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Add fiber supplements, such as psyllium husk, oat bran, pectin, and/or flaxseed powder, to keep stools soft and to minimize straining during elimination. Drink plenty of water (four to six large glasses daily).
DETOXIFICATION PROGRAM
• A fluid fast, from seven to ten days, may be needed to allow fissures time to heal. Passage of even normal stools can stretch injured tissues, causing pain and bleeding. |

See book keywords and concepts |  DIETARY GUIDELINES
¦ Maximize your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. These healthy foods contain antioxidant phytochemicals that protect all the cells of the body, including those of the eyes, from free-radical damage.
¦ Eat clean, lean protein, such as that found in chicken and fish. Both protein and vitamin A are needed to maintain healthy eyes.
¦ Limit your intake of sugar and caffeine. These substances contribute to eye irritation and worsen the symptoms caused by many eye problems.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
¦ Beta-carotene is a strong antioxidant that prevents free-radical damage. | | DIETARY GUIDELINES
¦ While you are recovering from a blood loss, make sure your diet includes lots of green leafy vegetables, squashes, and fresh fruits, as well as liquids, to provide necessary vitamins and minerals and restore fluid balance.
¦ If you are taking supplementary iron (see under Nutritional Supplements, below), your diet should also include extra fiber and liquids to prevent constipation, which is an occasional side effect of iron supplementation. | | Make sure each meal includes a preponderance of fresh fruits and vegetables and sufficient clean, lean protein. Try not to eat all-carbohydrate meals, so that your blood-sugar level remains within narrower limits.
¦ Beverages containing caffeine can increase nervousness and anxiety. Avoid coffee, tea (except for herbal varieties), and caffeinated soft drinks.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
¦ The B vitamins are important nutrients needed by the nervous system. Take a good B-complex formula that supplies at least 25 milligrams of each of the major B vitamins daily. |
