How To Get Rid Of Stomach Fat Fast?
August 29, 2010
Diet and Nutrition account for 80 % of your body fat. If you want to get rid of your belly fat, you need to check what kinds of foods you are consuming. If you follow some of the suggestions discussed below, you will not only get rid of your stomach fat, but also you will lose weight. You must follow a diet and nutrition plan if you are serious to get rid of your stomach fat. Follow the suggestions given bellow.
Foods To Avoid
Refined carbohydrates, such as breakfast cereals, bread, bagels, pasta, pizza, grains, corn and sugary products like refined sugar, cake, ice cream, soda pops, coca cola, energy drinks etc… These are all loaded with sugar and chemicals. Also passionately avoid processed foods, nutritionally depleted packaged foods, fast and fried foods.
When you consume these foods, they spike your blood insulin levels causing insulin resistance. This as a result cause the body store fats. Production of excessive insulin not only cause the body store fat, it may also lead to diabetes, heart disorders and cancers.
Also avoid consuming processed meats, such as hotdog, bacon, sausage, deli, luncheon meat. Study shows that consumption of these processed meats will increase the risk of heart attack by 41 %.
However, consumption of unprocessed meat is OK. Consume lean meats, eggs, more fish, organic milk, beans, nuts and seeds.
Follow the following guide lines for choosing natural, unadulterated sources of quality proteins:
* bioactive whey protein, non-denated and non-pasteurize
* choose grass-fed beef
* choose free-range poultry
* drink milk from grass-fed cows
* snack on nuts and seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachio, peanuts, and macadamias;
pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds
Whey Protein Promotes Weight Loss
Carbs, grains, all kinds of processed foods are primary contributing factor for weight gain. However, protein can help you lose weight, because protein powers up your metabolism like other natural source. You gain weight, because your body stores calories as fat to prevent the possibility of starvation at a future date. Protein on the other hand, your premier source of energy. Protein helps you lose weight. When you consume protein, your body gets what it needs. Then it starts burning its stored fats.
Protein is loaded with 20 amino acids, including 8 essential amino acids which your body can’t produce. They come from consuming protein.
Protein is your cellular building blocks. It makes up your hair and nailss, produce essential enzymes and hormones, it builds blood, bones, muscle, and regenerate skins.
Note:
Some nutritionists believe that animal protein or excessive consumption of proteins may create acidic environment in the body. Acidic condition is generally the reason for various chronic ailments. Consume animal protein in moderation. You may use vegetable proteins, such as legume, lentils (Moog Dal, mosore Dal, harahar dal), beans (chick peas, red kidney beans, lima beans etc.)
Ph Balance
Besides consumption of animal proteins, including the foods discussed above may disrupt the Ph-balance (i.e., balance between acidic and alkaline condition of the body.) When your Ph levels are out of balance, your body becomes acidic. When your body become acidic, your vital organs, such as lungs, liver, pancreas are exposed to premature aging—the lining of your arteries deteriorates— cartilages on your joints are damaged—skin prematurely wrinkles—muscle wear down—immune system is compromised. If your body become too acidic, the result can be deadly.
To maintain the proper chemical balance, you should take 80 percent alkaline-forming foods and only 20 percent acid-forming foods. Some nutritious alkaline-forming foods include…
* Vegetables—Alfalfa, artichokes, asparagus, green beans, bell peppers, cabbage, carrots, celery, chives, cauliflower, brussel`s sprouts, collards, cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, leafy greens, lettuce, mushrooms, okra, ripe olives, onions, pumpkins, spinach and squash.
* Fruits—Apples, avocados, all kinds of berries, cantaloupe, cherries, red grapes, peaches, prunes, pineapples, watermelon and citrus fruits such as grapefruit, lemons, limes and oranges.
* Legumes—Buckwheat, millet, spelt, lentils, lima beans, and white beans.
* Nuts and Seeds—Almonds, chestnuts, cashew, pistachio, fennel seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds.
* Protein—Chicken breast, eggs, kefir, and yogurt, bioactive whey protein.
* Spices and Seasonings—Herbs, chili pepper, cinnamon, curry, ginger, mustard and sea salt.
* Beverages—Pure, fresh water, banchi tea, dandelion tea, fresh fruit juice, ginseng tea, green tea, herbal tea, and green Macha tea
Avoid acid-forming foods such as beef, poultry, pork, shellfish, dressings, cereals, pasta, oils, dairy products and sugar-laden desserts that can negatively impact your health and overload your organs of elimination—such as your lungs, kidneys and skin. Cause insulin resistance leading to obesity, diabetes, heart attacks, stroke, and cancer.
Plus, by adding a quality alkaline-balancing supplement, such as apple cider vinegar to your wholesome diet regimen, you’ll ensure that your body’s excess acid is converted or eliminated. And you may avoid illness, allergies, viruses and diseases that manifest themselves when your body is overworked trying to restore its sensitive pH level.
Recommended Foods
Consume low glycemic indexed foods. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels’s sprouts cauliflower, zucchini, spinach, kale. Also take various fruits. See the recommended foods above.
Next observe the following
– eat more often, a minimum of 6 small meals a day. Don’t fill your stomach. Keep at least 1/3 not filled
– have a portion of lean protein in every meal—a protein shake, chicken breasts, salmon,
haddock, eggs, etc…. Take free range chicken and eggs, and grass fed beef. Raw milk
– don’t skip breakfast
– eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. It has been proven that this
works
– always take your green vegetables and fruits
– sip a cup of green tea after each meal. This helps control hunger
– never let yourself starve. This triggers fasting inside your system and start storing more fat instead of
burning them
– eating small meals causes your body to burn off these calories more often. This increases metabolism
which causes your body to naturally burn fat
– drink a minimum of 8-10 eight ounce glasses of water daily
– never eat before going to bed. Eating hour before you go to bed will slowdown your metabolism. This
produces more stomach fat. A good rule of thumb is to avoid eating three hours before you go to bed
at night
– have a brisk walk at least 30 minutes a day

Osteoporosis and Calcium
August 22, 2010
In August 30, 2010, CTV News reported a research finding that women taking calcium to prevent osteoporosis have an increased risk of heart attack by 3 %.
Here is a story might that may be of some interest. One day I met my friend’s wife in the drug store who was holding a bottle containing calcium tablets. She told me that her doctor has prescribe this to prevent osteoporosis.
Here is the problem—calcium will not be properly absorbed without vitamin D3. Moreover, vitamin D prevents heart attack and strengthens bones. Besides, calcium depletes magnesium ( and magnesium depletes calcium) which is essential for arterial and heart health. Magnesium also helps in the better absorption of calcium. Furthermore, excessive intake of calcium may lead to blocked arteries. Now you can see why intake of just calcium alone may increase the risk of heart attack.
Suggestion
Find a calcium and magnesium ( with 2 to 1 ratio) supplement with vitamin D3.
For the benefit of the readers we shall describer below some of the beneficial properties of calcium and magnesium. For vitamin D, see Alternative Natural Remedies and Natural cures
Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral that is vital to many biological processes that occur in the body. Magnesium helps body’s absorption of calcium. It also plays a key role in the strength and formation of bones and teeth. This means people at risk of osteoporosis can benefit from taking magnesium.
Magnesium also is vital for maintaining a healthy heart. It helps stabilize the rhythm of the heart, and also aids in preventing abnormal blood clotting in the heart. Magnesium helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels. It can significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and can further aid in the recovery from a heart attack and stroke.
Calcium
Besides helping osteoporosis patients, calcium has many other benefits as described below:
- helps in the treatment of high blood pressure
- keeps our skin healthy
- can help relieve leg cramps
- helps people with insomnia
- aids in the prevention of heart diseases
- calcium taken with magnesium may relieve the pain
associated with PMS
- pregnant women and nursing mothers need calcium
Caution: Although calcium is beneficial for various aspects of health, people taking calcium supplement should not exceed more than 1,500 mg a day. Excessive calcium intake may lead to blocked arteries and formation of kidney stones.
