Though dogs are carnivores, they can be fed more vegetable matter per body weight than cats. The following recipes are guidelines. Feel free to experiment with various vegetables, meats, fish, eggs, and organ meats. Keep in mind that organ meats possess more vitamins than muscle meats. It is important to vary your dog's diet from time to time as various foods contain different nutrients. Like humans, pets grow tired of the same foods day in and day out. Last but not least, remember that raw bones are an important source of calcium as well as other nutrients for arthritic dogs.

Of these, vitamin E, commonly found in vegetable oils as well as wheat germ, nuts, and green leafy vegetables, is the most promising. Vitamin E appears to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL), so-called bad cholesterol. In a trial at the University of Texas, researchers gave healthy patients 120 times the recommended daily average of vitamin E for eight weeks. It significantly reduced LDL oxidation and other processes that contribute to atherosclerosis.

Check the labels on canned and bottled vegetable juices because some are high in sodium. V-8® juice, as well as several other brands, now produce low-sodium vegetable juices. A wide variety of fruit juices are available, but check the nutrition labels carefully: Many contain as little as 10 percent real fruit juice. If the juice isn't labeled 100 percent fruit juice, it probably contains a high percentage of water and sugar, usually in the form of corn syrup. Avoid these fruit juices if you're trying to lose weight.

Her idea of a vegetable is ketchup or peas from a can and her carbohydrates are all refined white rice, white bread, and pasta. She gets virtually no exercise aside from cleaning the house and never drinks any water. The drug Pam is taking for her prediabetic condition gives her chronic indigestion, so she starts taking an H2 blocker called Tagamet, which reduces her digestive symptoms, but now her stomach acid, which was low to begin with, is practically nonexistent, so she's not digesting her food and is not getting any nutrients from her food.

Theoretically, then, we would get vitamin E from commercial vegetable oils—but unfortunately they're so altered in processing that they have little vitamin E left by the time they reach the shelves of the store. The same holds true for most grains, which start out with vitamin E, but are depleted as they're processed into the flours that are used in most breads and other baked goods. Vitamin E is also found in nuts, seeds, whole grains, legumes, and dark green leafy vegetables. Animal products, however, are poor sources of vitamin E.

New potatoes, better yet—in every vegetable or fruit, the younger when picked, the lower the carb count. If you must indulge, do so sparingly. And try sweet potatoes instead of white. The Fiber Factor How bad is white bread? Worse than ice cream. If you're about to sit down to dinner and need to decide whether to have white bread with it or ice cream after, go for the ice cream—it's less fattening. But of course, not all bread is white bread. A good rule of thumb is that the coarser and heavier bread is, the better it is for you.

If you drink fruit and vegetable juices, you are drinking distilled water plus certain nutrients such as fruit sugars, organic minerals and vitamins. But if you drink lake, river, well or spring water, you are drinking undistilled water, plus the inorganic minerals that the water has picked up. Some of this water is known as hard water, meaning it has high inorganic mineral concentrations that can cause health problems. Now, let me give you a short lesson in chemistry. There are two kinds of chemicals - inorganic and organic.

Each tiny blade of grass, every vine, tree, bush, flower, fruit and vegetable draws its life from solar energy. All living things on earth depend on solar energy for their very existence. This earth would be a barren, frigid place if it were not for the magic rays of the sun. The sun gives us light and were it not for sunshine, there would be no you or me. The earth would be in everlasting darkness. Human beings were never meant to have pale skins, not even the fair northern races.

Therefore when you have raw foods, either a raw vegetable salad or a fruit salad to start the meal, you educate your taste buds to enjoy and want clean, live, healthy foods. Most people start a meal with a broth or soup with sandwiches or bread. This is wrong in my opinion! To make the taste buds keen, sharp and alive - having your raw salad or fruits at the beginning of the meal starts the digestive juices flowing for raw foods are rich in natural enzymes. All this contributes to good nutrition. I urge you to always eat something raw at the beginning of each meal.

I had him eat a grated carrot, beet, chopped cabbage salad and one cooked vegetable for dinner. I took him off all animal products, meat, fish, eggs, cheese and dairy products. I eliminated all salt, sugar and refined foods. I took him off all grains and all legumes such as beans, peas, rice and lentils for two months. Every day I had him take a 10 minute hot bath (add 1 cup apple cider vinegar), bringing the water up to 104 degrees, using a bath thermometer.

In this process the garlic cloves are ground, covered with a vegetable oil such as corn oil or wheat germ oil, and allowed to stand so that lipophilic compounds can dissolve into the oil. A press is then used to separate the oil from the solid residues. These preparations do not contain the water-soluble constituents of garlic. Another process uses steam distillation to obtain essential garlic oil from freshly ground garlic. Garlic bulbs have about a 0.1-0.5 % content of water-soluble compounds.

One cup of vegetable soup or broth is a "free" food. If it is bean soup, it is either a serving from the whole grains/starches group or proteins group—depending on how you choose to spend your "food servings." If it contains mostly meat and vegetables (for example, stew), do your best to estimate how much meat is in the soup and count it in the proteins group. The rest of the ingredients are free. Spreads, Dips, Sauces, Salad Dressings, and Marinades_ Spreads and Dips While most Americans use mayonnaise as a spread, it is truly a fat and a saturated one at that. Avoid it whenever possible.

Follow the directions on the container and don't overdo it, please. Chamomile tea, a milder soothing agent, is a good thing to keep on hand during this time.

Most of the unsaturated fats found in vegetable oil are rancid, which is also a major health risk. For cooking, it's best to stick to the monounsaturated fats, olive and canola oil. Olive oil is the best—it's delicious and extra virgin olive oil is largely unprocessed, so you get all the good nutrients in it. Although canola oil is also processed, it's the best oil to use in baking and other uses where you want a very light oil. Used in moderate amounts, butter is also a healthy fat.

In addition to broccoli, lettuce, and other leafy vegetables, foods rich in vitamin K include pork, liver, and vegetable oils. Vitamin A deficiency, another problem that often arises from gluten consumption, can cause stunted growth in children and can also impact on adult bones. Because this vitamin coordinates both bone-building and bone-destroying cells, a deficiency may cause a wide range of bone abnormalities. To ensure sufficient vitamin A in your diet, eat foods such as fish, flax, and liver, which are rich in this important vitamin. BONES ARE VERY MUCH ALIVE Bones are living tissue.

Many vegetable oils now go through a process called partial hydro-genation.The reason food manufacturers go to the trouble of this process is to improve taste, spreadability, pleasurable sensation in the mouth, and to extend shelf life. It has nothing to do with making a "healthy" alternative. To hydrogenate oils, manufacturers heat the oils to high temperatures under pressure with hydrogen gas, but the process is stopped before it is completed. This abbreviated process provides a mixture of both saturated and polyunsaturated fats, with a high concentration of trans-fatty acids.

American fruit and vegetable supply. The dirtiest dozen: apples, apricots, bell peppers, cantaloupe, celery, cherries, cucumbers, grapes, green beans, peaches, spinach, and strawberries. To minimize pesticide exposure, which some research has linked to increased cancer risk, more Americans are opting for organic produce. Organic produce is grown without the aid of chemical pesticides. It usually costs more, too. Is it worth the higher price? Well, that's up to you. "Don't let fear of pesticide residues stop you from eating fruits and vegetables," advises Gladys Block, Ph.D.

We had people trying this with any vegetable large enough and strong enough to withstand such treatment: stuffed eggplant, zucchini, and artichokes were big favorites. We tried a few dessert tricks, too. People who love chocolate almost always love lots of it, but they don't realize how satisfying even smaller amounts can be. Instead of some big chocolate dessert, try strawberries dipped in dark chocolate (which has less sugar than the milk chocolate variety) . A few of these and you're satisfied, but in truth you've had a relatively small amount of chocolate and quite a bit more fruit.

Maximize the amount of fresh and raw food, including plenty of bananas and other fmits, freshly ground linseed (refrigerate or freeze), sprouted seeds, and fresh vegetable juices. Eat fruit and drink juices in small, spaced-out amounts to avoid a strong rise in blood sugar or insulin levels. Try raw egg yolk (free range) in salad dressings, using the white rarely. Use unheated extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and herbs for flavoring. Use spices with care. 2. Organic chicken and low-mercury fish and other seafood are fine. Prepare salads with unflavored gelatin often.
