Eggs - The New Superfood  E-mail
One egg a day can help you lose weight  Smile

March 18, 2010
 
A new study claims eating one egg daily can help fight obesity.


The British study, which analysed 71 research papers on the nutritional composition of eggs and their role in diet, found that eggs are packed with vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium and choline that could also play a significant role in dieting and weight loss.

According to the researchers, a medium-sized egg has fewer than 80 calories and provides more than 20 per cent of the recommended daily allowance.

Dr Carrie Ruxton, an independent dietitian and lead author of the report, said, “There are clear nutritional benefits to eating eggs on a regular basis. Emerging evidence suggests that eggs may be beneficial for satiety, weight control and eye health. With previous limits on egg consumption lifted, most people would benefit from a return to the days of going to work on an egg.”

The study confirmed that eggs contain the richest mix of essential amino acids — crucial for children, adolescents and young adults since a balance of them is required for proper growth and repair.

It also claimed that the high levels of antioxidants found in eggs could even help prevent age-related muscular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness.

The Amazing Story of Laminin

 

 
 

Laminin is defined by the Webster Medical Dictionary as a "glycoprotein that is a component of connective tissue basement membrane and that promotes cell adhesion." 

In other words, looking at laminin as a kind of glue isn't far from the truth.  There are several different laminins."Electron microscopy reveals a cross-like shape for all laminins investigated so far." 

You see....laminins are what hold us together....LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart.

 

Now tell me that our God is not the coolest!!!
Amazing.
The glue that holds us together....ALL of us....is in the shape of the cross.
Immediately Colossians 1:15-17 comes to mind.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth , visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him.
He is before all things,
and in him all things HOLD TOGETHER. "
Colossians 1:15-17

Thousands of years before the world knew anything about laminin, Paul penned those words. And now we see that from a very LITERAL standpoint, we are held together...one cell to another....by the cross. It isn’t anything other than the mark of a Creator who knew EXACTLY what laminin "glue" would look like long before Adam even breathed his first breath!! We can trust that the God who created all this, also has the power to hold it all together when things seem to be falling apart...how our loving Creator is also our sustainer.

 
Cut it Out!  E-mail
When a food is processed, it has gone through some sort of treatment during manufacturing, whether it has chemicals added as preservatives or nutritional elements taken out to improve color or texture. The addition of man-made ingredients and the removal of nature-made nutritional components can contribute to all types of illness and disease.

For example, refined flour and most products made from it have virtually no nutritional value due to the removal of the grain’s bran; most convenience and snack foods have hydrogenated oils and fats added for improved taste and texture; and both are contributing to the rise in obesity, diabetes, and other chronic disease rates in this country today.

As you take processed foods out of your daily meals and snacks, and start eating more of the naturally delicious fresh vegetables, fruits, and juices instead, you’ll be amazed at how good you will feel!

Start today..it's never too late!!

Eat Fresh, Eat food that heals your body and makes it strong!

A LOOK AT MANDATORY LIVE VIRUS VACCINATIONS...What's the Reality!!  

The purpose of this is that you would have enough valid scientific data to make an informed choice in the best interest of the health of yourself and your children.

 Swine Flu Vaccination

1- The swine flu vaccination contains dangerous and life threatening fillers, including adjuvants such as squalene, animal tissues, which may include pig tissue, viral and bacterial proteins, and live viruses, all of which contain pig DNA.

2- Live viruses have a history of lethal danger, disease and are contagious. Secondary spread of live viruses from those vaccinated with a live virus lasting up to three weeks is a well-known fact.

3- The swine flu appears to have been laboratory generated and designed to have its dangerous effects amplifies by the use of all the available swine flu vaccines.

4- The intent of the government is to make the live virus swine flu vaccination mandatory for all Americans and Canadians, this is a violation of the Constitution. 

5- Those who refuse the live virus swine flu vaccination and all other regular flu vaccinations may be jailed or held indefinitely in internment camps established by the  states or FEMA because the swine flu has been called a level 6 pandemic. This can potentially allow the international law to override the Constitutions of our Countries. 

6- The best way to protect yourself from any flu including the H1N1 live virus swine flu is to have a healthy immune system by living a natural, earth-connected way of being, which includes: Organic, plant-source only, supplements including nano-silver, vitamin C, A and D, and specific aromatherapy oils. These healthy approaches have been historically proven to be far more safe and effective that generated vaccines, which have truly never been scientifically proven to be either safe or effective. 

It is important that we all take a stand while we are still healthy enough to be standing. 

Some important details...

This live virus vaccine has 2.3 times more genetic mutability, and added adjuvant toxicity than a natural virus because it includes squalene. Squalene has significant autoimmune inflammatory effects and general severe autoimmune effects, which are a significant potential threat to the health of the individual. Based on scientific evidence, mass mandatory vaccinations with a highly mutable live virus could actually activate a real and lethal pandemic rather than prevent it. Therefore if we look at it purely in scientific perspective here is no valid reason for mandatory vaccinations. For this reason all people have a constitutional, religious, philosophical, and medical right to the freedom of choice of whether or not to be vaccinated. For further information please visit: www.pandemicfluonline.com  

BUILD A STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM

Focus on building a STRONG immune system, eating healthy and daily exercise is very important. Our body needs vitamins and minerals everyday to be strong. Proper rest is extremely important, at last 5-6 hours of sleep a night is healthy for adults, for children 7-8 hours. Some Suggestions: Eat organic foods, lots of fresh produce, colorful meals. Avoid fatty and sugary foods.  Once we have a healthy, strong immune system we won't have to worry about getting sick and catching the flu or body will fight it off all on it's own that way it was created to.

   

 
Apricots - Delicious Fruit and Natural Medicine  E-mail

 

 Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA)

 Author: Rumen Conev PhD

Apricot is a fruit that has been known to humans for thousands of years. During archeological excavations in the antique Armenian town Shenchovit near Yerevan, apricot pits were found in layers dating back to over 6000 B.C. The first written mention of apricot, however, is in a Chinese letter more than 4000 years old.

Common apricot – Prunus armeniaca L. (Armeniaca vulgaris Lam.) originated as a species in the high mountainous region of Hindu Kush – Tien Shan in Central Asia, where the borders of China, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan meet nowadays. Natural forests or single very old apricot trees can also still be found in North-East China and Caucasus. The ancient Tajiks from Sogdain were most likely the ones who first domesticated this fruit tree. Apricot was their only source of sugar, so during the centuries they have developed state-of-the-art selection and created cultivars such as Ameri and Hodjendi, the dried product of which has up to 85% sugar content.

It is a well known fact to gerontologists that the Hunza people, who inhabit the high mountains of North Pakistan not far from the center of the genesis of common apricot, are the longest-living and healthiest people in the world. According to the researchers and medical doctors who studied Hunzas in their natural habitat during the 1950’s and 60’s, 100% of its population had perfect vision, while cancer, coronary heart diseases, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even appendicitis and gout were unknown conditions. Century old Hunza women and men are able to enjoy life in its full extent. You probably wonder what these people eat that makes them so strong, active and healthy at an age of 100 or even 120. Surprisingly enough nothing very exotic is found in their quite ordinary food. The only part that totally differs from the west diet traditions is that Hunza people do not consume animal fats. Their diet is rich all year round in fresh or dried fruit and nuts, especially apricots and apricot kernels, and their primary source of oil is apricot seeds. Apricot is such an important component of Hunza life that actually in their valley the wealth of a person is measured by the number of apricot trees owned.

Apricot kernels contain an average of 21% proteins and 52% vegetable oils, and are widely used as a substitute of almonds in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Apricot seeds, because of their remarkably high content of amygdalin, are a source of vitamin B17 and utilized in alternative medicine for cancer therapy. It has to be underlined, however, that the seeds must be baked prior to direct consumption, since apricot kernels can be poisonous if ingested raw in large quantities. Aside from the potential anti-cancer properties of apricot seeds, the fruit itself is a small natural drug-store as well. The American Cancer Society states that apricots, and other foods rich in carotenes, may lower the risk of cancers of the larynx, esophagus and lungs. Just a handful of apricots contains 100 % of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of Beta-carotene – a powerful antioxidant that our body transforms into Vitamin A. It prevents plaque-deposits from building up in the arteries, helps to strengthen our immune systems and is beneficial to eyes, skin, hair, gums and various glands. The cobalt and copper found in apricots, and especially their high iron content are beneficial in fighting anemia, and make this fruit an irreplaceable ingredient of many baby foods. Apricots are also an excellent source of potassium, and it has been clinically shown, that fresh and dried fruit, as well as nectars are all good alternatives to chemical diuretics. Apricot and apricot products help to maintain body fluid balance by normalizing blood pressure and heart function. Boron, which apricots are also rich in, has lately been identified as one of the main factors for the prevention of osteoporosis, by helping post-menopausal women retain their estrogen levels. The almost endless list of the amazing nutritional and medicinal properties of apricot fruits and kernels can go on and on. It is not surprising that dried apricots being compact, balanced and rich in minerals, macro and microelements were the NASA’s number one choice as astronauts’ provision.

Undoubtedly apricots are an extremely healthy food for every age, but they also need to be tasty in order to keep consumers interested in making them a consistent component of their diets. Apricots, unlike many other fruit species, are not able to develop their organoleptic characteristics once harvested. The only apricots that we can find in Ontario supermarkets are picked, stored and shipped from either California or Chile well before they become available on the market. Implementation of the contemporary post-harvest technologies can to a certain extent preserve their appearance, but it cannot "pump" them with all the juiciness, sweetness and aroma that only a tree-ripe fruit can develop. Unfortunately, there is a tendency of decreased apricot production in Ontario in the last decade, which makes it increasingly difficult for local consumers to find fresh, flavourful domestically grown fruit. It is something worth thinking about.
