(Ideally, I'd love to turn on the tap, and out it would flow!)<br /> <br /> Whether it's curing cancer with magnets or herbal wonder-remedies or Vioxx, we've all seen the fantastic claims people make about their health products AND about how your whole life will be changed! I can tell you right now that 90% are frauds.  You may even have fallen prey to some of these scams, selling you the latest fad. Me too. I've bought so many kinds of drinking water, I can't recall. (If a lie is repeated often enough, it becomes "the truth").<br /> <br /> Finally, after many disappointments I got FED UP. I decided to get to the bottom of this desire we all have to make sure that our most basic nutrient -- water -- will keep us healthy, not make us sick.<br /> <br /> I checked out endless commercial websites and a number of university and government sites; and I was dismayed at what I repeatedly found:<br /> <br /> --Outdated information or info repeated from other websites<br /> --Wild and sensational claims<br /> --No research<br /> --No refunds, etc.<br /> <br /> I already knew that we can't trust our tap water because of the presence of up to 2000 contaminants.<br /> <br /> Specifically, I found:<br /> <br /> a) Bottled Water: a real mish-mash of quality, often no more than filtered tap water sold at outrageous mark-ups, and at quite an environmental cost.<br /> <br /> b) Reverse-osmosis and distilled water: completely ignored the medical evidence of the dangers in the ongoing drinking of water that is void of minerals, acid in nature and oxidizing.<br /> <br /> I quickly realized that these products were either useless, overpriced or potentially harmful long-term.  And the companies were smiling all the way to the bank.<br /> <br /> Nevertheless I was able to find products that were well-researched and legitimate: water ionizers and certain filters.  I found two websites providing comparisons of reliable water purifiers:<br /> <a href="http://www.waterfiltercomparisons.net/">Water Filter Comparisons</a> and <a href="http://www.waterpurifier101.com/"> Water Purifier 101 </a>(While the first of these sites does not address the problem of acidity in drinking water, it is straightforward in its assessment of what various water filters do.)<br /> <br /> I hope that you're not misled by false claims, and take a look at objective comparisons, for the sake of your health.<br /> <br /> <br />           <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: x-small;">Stan Howard is a researcher with Best Water, which offers a free report comparing all types of water purification, and other vital information on drinking water quality.

Different kind of fats in nutrition. Read all about it here!

We want to inform you on all the different types of fats there are: The general wisdom for many years was that all fat should be avoided. Trans fat, saturated fat, unsaturated fat — just stay away from them all.<br /> But now scientists realize that fat — and how our bodies process it — is much more complex. Our bodies need some fat for optimal functioning. But we need the right kinds of fat, and we need to practice moderation. Some fats are actually good for you, and others should be avoided at all costs.<br /> <br /> How do you know which is which? Fats: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly Alexa Schmitt, RD, a clinical nutritionist at Massachusetts General Hospital, says mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are "good fats" and that saturated fats can be consumed in moderation. Trans fats, however, should be avoided altogether, adds Schmitt, explaining that trans fats are dangerous because they raise cholesterol levels. High levels of certain kinds of cholesterol, in particular low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the so-called "bad cholesterol") increase your risk for heart disease and other health conditions, including stroke.<br /> <br /> So how do we know which foods contain which fats? As a general rule, Schmitt says, "fats that are liquid at room temperature, like olive oils, are a better choice than foods that are semi-solid, like butter or margarine." The following tips will help you choose a diet rich in mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and low in trans fat.<br /> <br /> Mono-unsaturated fat (unsaturated fat): Good sources of mono-unsaturated fat are canola and olive oils, most nuts, and avocados. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSnQVX7ZarS0liYIoZC5FQaOtkYJpr71MmERgJ27ADdLnnmLiMpKEvEr3w96eDJJa6jdF2o9yUP0ywLQiSFWg0v-mmhOsI9i9aT2gmg3sWmSKvb0ixMJd9A647Muj6uHf6Zk98R7iF3grA/s1600/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSnQVX7ZarS0liYIoZC5FQaOtkYJpr71MmERgJ27ADdLnnmLiMpKEvEr3w96eDJJa6jdF2o9yUP0ywLQiSFWg0v-mmhOsI9i9aT2gmg3sWmSKvb0ixMJd9A647Muj6uHf6Zk98R7iF3grA/s320/unnamed.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Tip: Spread avocado on a bagel instead of cream cheese. Use olive oil and garlic instead of whole milk and butter for a flavorful twist on mashed potatoes.<br /> <br /> Poly-unsaturated fat (unsaturated fat): There are two types of poly-unsaturated fat, omega-6 and omega-3 fats. Since most Americans get plenty of omega-6 fats in their diet from vegetable oils, Schmitt says her primary concern is omega-3 fats. Good sources of omega-3 fats are fish (salmon and tuna), flaxseed, and walnuts.<br /> <br /> Tip: Snack on a handful of walnuts, or add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to your morning oatmeal or cereal. You can also add ground flaxseed when you are baking cookies or muffins for an omega boost.<br /> <br /> Saturated fat: Red meat, fatty meats like salami, dairy products such as cream and butter, and thicker vegetable oils like coconut, palm, and kernel oil are sources of saturated fats. Tip: Enjoy a steak now and then, but try to limit saturated fats to 10 percent of your diet, at the most.<br /> <br /> Trans fat: Made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil, a process designed to extend the shelf life of packaged goods, trans fat is found in a wide range of packaged and processed foods, including bakery items, cookies, and crackers.<br /> <br /> Tip: Current Food and Drug Administration guidelines allow manufacturers to say that their product is "trans fat free" if it contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving. Check the labels of processed food for "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" oils in the ingredients. These words signal that product may have up to 0.5 grams per serving. Eat a few servings, and this starts to add up.<br /> <br /> The bottom line? Be an educated shopper: Know what to look for and the potential pitfalls. Try to do the majority of your shopping on the perimeter of the grocery store, limiting your trips down the inside aisles — where most of the trans fat culprits reside. On the perimeter, you can focus on fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, lean cuts of meat and fish, and whole grains fresh from the bakery. Add a little olive oil, and you'll really be cooking!  <br /> Source:Conny Brichford, (everydayhealth.com),<br /> <br /> Have a healthy week!<br /> <br />  -Team Healhty living tips-

Only 7 or 9 kcal per 100g of rice (or pasta/noodles). It is very easy to cook. The only small downside is the smell when you open the package. After rinsing with water the smell left though. This meal in total has only 266 Kcal(350g) in it. Compared to the same meal with normal rice or noodles which has about 560 Kcal per portion of 350g.
