These foods can help to lower your cholesterol in your blood naturally!

There are some foods that can help naturally reduce cholesterol in blood. If you are like many who have been diagnosed with high cholesterol, you’d like to control the condition with diet before turning to medications. This is a wise approach. There are, in fact, quite a few foods that can help in this regard. Here is a list of some of them, and some suggestions of how to prepare them.

1. Oat bran – While it’s not a magic bullet and has been subject to a lot of hype, oat bran is a high-fiber food that helps lower cholesterol. Oat bran is not only high in fiber, but it also contains beta-glucans which are the keys to its cholesterol-lowering ability.

2. Barley – Another high-fiber food, barley is rich in beta-glucans as well. In fact, it has as much as three times the amount of beta-glucan as oat bran. Continue Reading Foods That Reduce Cholesterol in Blood Here

As for healing foods Beans are a powerful healing food and may also be considered a superfood or miracle food!

As for healing foods Beans are a powerful healing food and may also be considered a superfood or miracle food! In this instance of beans, as there are many, but here we are focusing on kidney beans, black, pinto, navy, chickpeas (garbanzo beans), soybeans dried peas and lentils. They are a fantastic source of antioxidants, with red beans, red kidney beans and pinto beans ranking in the top four of the USDA’s ranking of foods by antioxidant capacity as well as occupying two places in the USDA’s food guide pyramid. The first is in the high-protein foods category along with meat, egg, poultry and fish, while the second category is for vitamin rich vegetables. Not only are they low in fat and sodium, they also contain high amounts of complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber, while offering small amounts of omega 6 fatty acids. Soybeans do have more fat, but that is primarily in the form of healthy omega 3 fatty acids. They also contain a good amount of protein, and in combination with oats or barley supply all the necessary amino acids to make a complete protein for vegetarians who lack sources of proteins in their diets.

Healing Foods – Foods with Healing Properties

Healing Foods - Foods with Healing Properties Like These Pictured Can Make Us Healthier, Increase Longevity, and Promote a Higher Quality of Life

Healing foods have been around since the beginning of man, however, within the past decade or so, advances in technology and research have provided us with insight into what actual health benefits these foods have to offer. We have been able to isolate and identify all the various nutrients, flavonoids, and phytochemicals and pinpoint their assorted benefits. There have been boatloads of new data as to the benefits of eating healthy, and some of these foods amount to being labeled as ‘superfoods’, those that are beneficial to us if we consume them on a regular basis.

We have long know that many fruits and vegetables are good for us, but we have not known to what extent the benefits amount to. Phytochemicals have become the focus of the recent rash of research, and are considered the vitamins of the future. The resulting reports conclude the benefits range from cancer prevention, cholesterol reduction and hormone regulation, to anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties, cardiovascular disease, and anti-inflammatory are among those discovered. We have compiled this list and are adding to it as we go along, as it takes time to compile all the data and information into our list. We have our list here, and each one, if not already linked to a specific page for that healing food, will have one in the near future with specifics on that particular food.

Phytochemicals For a Healthier You!

Phytochemicals for a healthier and happier you and your loved ones!

Phytochemicals is a general term used to describe a wide variety of compounds produced by plants. They are commonly found in fruits and vegetables, and scientists have identified thousands of them, however, they have only studied a handful of them to date. There are also other common names given to phytochemicals, such as antioxidants, flavonoids, isoflavones (soy products), catechins, polyphenols, and some that you might recognize with the more common household names such as beta carotene, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), folic acid, and vitamin E.

Some phytochemicals have either an antioxidant or hormone-like action, and there is some solid evidence pointing to a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables with whole grains reduces the risk of certain strains of cancer and other diseases. Researchers are currently studying these looking for those specific compounds in those foods that may be responsible for the beneficial properties to us. The scientific evidence however does not support claims that taking any photochemical supplements is as beneficial as getting them from the fruits, vegetables, beans and grains themselves.

Currently, phytochemicals are being promoted for use in the prevention and treatment of many health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and even cancer. Continue Reading Phytochemicals For a Healthier You! Here
