What is good in Tomatoes ?

Tomatoes are rich in calcium, potassium and phosphorus. Potassium content of tomatoes is very high.

They are rich in beta carotene which is very useful for the eyes.

They are also good source of vitamin C.

Redness of the tomatoes is due to a pigment lycopene and the phytochemicals carotenoids. Lycopene is an antioxidant that has ability to fight cancer. During the ripening stage the chlorophyll of the green tomatoes is converted to limonene and thus the tomatoes are turned red.

Tomatoes have more than 200 volatile compounds.

Tomatoes are low calorie fruit which provides adequate nutrients.

What is Green Tea and how is it made ?


The tea is a product of a plant known as C. sinensis, a native of Southeast Asia. The tea brewed from the dried leaves of this plant has been drunk in China since perhaps the 28th century BC. It was first brought to Europe by the Dutch in the early 17th century AD.
Leaf buds and young leaves are used in making tea, the age of the leaves determining the taste and name of the particular commercial variety. After picking, the leaves either are dried immediately and completely to produce green teas, or are partially dried and then allowed to ferment to produce various kinds of black teas. After being sorted, all grades of tea are packed in foil-lined chests to prevent the absorption of unpleasant odors or the loss of aroma during shipment. In China, tea is sometimes allowed to absorb the scent from various flowers particularly Jasmine.

Tea is an aromatic stimulant, containing various polyphenols, essential oils, and caffeine. The concentration of caffeine in tea ranges from 2.5 to 4.5 percent, in contrast to an average concentration of about 1.5 percent in coffee.

Green Tea, is abundantly grown in the foothills of the mighty Himalayas. This belt grows the best teas in the world.
Scientists from Japan Cancer Institute have been successful in identifying a substance in Green Tea called Catechins or Polyphenols, which act as strong antioxidants. They are in a position to clinically establish the old adage that "tea is a miraculous medicine for the mantainance of health". Catechins remain unchanged in Green Tea as leaves are merely steamed, rolled and dried as opposed to black tea which is fermented.

Green tea polyphenols applied to human skin prevent ultraviolet light-induced damage, according to a new study.

A study of over 3,400 adults in Saudi Arabia--a country of tea-lovers--found that those who drank more than 6 cups per day of the brown beverage had a more than 50% lower risk of coronary heart disease compared to tea abstainers, even after adjusting for other factors such as smoking, diet and obesity.

More Evidence on Green Tea

A new study by a team of Swedish researchers adds support to the growing body of evidence that green tea contains
compounds that fight cancer. Drs. Yihai Cao and Renhai Cao of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm found green tea contains a compound called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which helps inhibit blood vessel growth. This could be useful in preventing
tumors from forming new blood vessels, which they need to survive. In a study on mice, the researchers also found animals fed green tea showed a 55-percent to 70-percent reduction in blood vessel development in the cornea of the eye, a finding that could prove helpful to diabetics
suffering from retinopathy, researchers say.
Other studies have shown EGCG blocked an enzyme needed for cancer cell growth and kept cells from becoming cancerous without harming surrounding healthy cells. The researchers point out heavy consumption of green tea may not be beneficial for women who are pregnant or for people
recovering from wounds, conditions that both require blood vessel development.

Green Tea Battles Arthritis

Antioxidants found in green tea may reduce the severity and even prevent symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, a new study suggests. The antioxidants, called polyphenols, appear to possess
more antioxidant potency than some vitamins. Researchers also point out there is anecdotal evidence suggesting that people living in India, China and Japan --
where green tea consumption is high -- have lower rates of rheumatoid arthritis.

Eat something before you exercise in the morning

Its always better to have some carbohydrate food in the morning before going in for exercise. The reason being that you always need some sugar in order to burn fat. As they say " Fat is burned in the flame of carbohydrate ". If sugar is too low, the body doesn't burn fat, rather it converts to protein burning. This is seen in marathon runners during the last five or six miles of their 26-mile race. They've used up their glycogen stores and their bodies start burning amino acids (protein). So if you happen to have low glycogen in the morning, you're more likely to burn valuable protein, which comes primarily from the breakdown of muscle tissue.

For this reason, it's a good idea to drink a little orange juice to elevate blood sugar before you exercise first thing in the morning.

How to Resist Aging Process          ;   
                    

It is posible for human beings to accelerate Aging of the body systems under unhealthy envoronment. Simillarly we can prolong the efficiency of our body systems and Resist Aging by taking care of stressful conditions.
Some of the well known measures that are usefull to our body in resisting Aging are mentioned below :

Exercise :
Tests prove that men who regularly and strenuously work out can reduce their cholesterol levels as much as 27 percent below those of inactive males. This translates into better cardiovascular and respiratory activity, but it also affects bone mass, digestion, rest and attitude.
     The exercise to be effective should help in burning as much as 3,000 calories a week above the "normal sedentary baseline."
That means jogging about four miles five times a week — a lot of exercise

Posted on 5/9/2005 2:49:07 PM
Walking briskly for half an hour three times a week does help reduce blood pressure, but rigorous exercise is "the single most important anti-aging measure anyone can follow, regardless of age, disability or general level of fitness,".

Diet :
Diet is the next most important aspect of aging. Consuming a lot of fruits and vegetables halves the likelihood of some cancers and lowers the odds of developing Heart Disease, Diabetes and Gastrointestenal diseases. Abandoning high-fat foods for low-fat reduces Cholesterol and Blood pressure.
Five servings a day of fruit and vegetables are recommended, and two to four serving of low-fat dairy products for calcium, with daily cholesterol intake limited to 300 milligrams.
Multivitamins should be taken regularly to correct the natural deficiencies in older people of vitamins B6, B12,nd D, and Folic Acid and calcium.

Posted on 5/9/2005 2:57:05 PM
Older men are prone to dehydration and need six to eight glasses a day to keep the system running smoothly and efficiently.
Smoking has no place in healthy life style, since it increases the risk of congestive heart failure, Lung Cancer and other problems.
Alcohol is permitted, but only one glass of wine or one drink of spirits a day and any thing more than that is certainly unacceptable.
Excessive exposure to the sun is blamed for deterioration of eyes and of skin, both cosmetically and in terms of cancer risk.

Stress :
Stress hampers the immune system and so should be avoided. Again, exercise is sited as an antidote to stress, and as a spur to increased mental activity.
Regularly challenging the mind can improve reaction time, a problem with older people, and help counteract short-term memory loss.

Cholesterol Lowering Foods

      

It is claimed that dozens of foods have a cholesterol lowering effect. But there is nothing like a migic food. Most of them need to be eaten in multuple servings to be of any effect.
Seafood:
      Though some studies found that fatty fish, like salmon and sardines, lower total and blood vessel-damaging LDL cholesterol levels (often called the "bad" cholesterol), this has been disputed by others. Still, eating fish a couple times a week is a better choice than a saturated-fat-rich piece of steak.

Garlic:
      Garlic which had a reputation of being a cholesterol lowering effect has got a lot of bad press when two well-designed studies found that ingesting the equivalent of one to one and a half cloves a day, taken as supplements, didn't make a dent in total or LDL cholesterol, nor did it affect cholesterol metabolism.
      While some experts still claim that whole garlic cloves may reduce cholesterol levels, critics like Dr. Tu Nguyen, assistant professor of medicine at the Mayo Medical School, are unequivocal. "Garlic's been well studied," Dr. Nguyen says, "and it doesn't lower cholesterol."


Posted on 5/10/2005 2:23:43 PM
Beans:
      Lima, kidney, black beans and other legumes are loaded with soluble fiber that can help curb cholesterol levels. Studies have found that eating 1½ cups of cooked beans a day can cause significant dips in total and LDL cholesterol levels.
      "Beans figure prominently in lowering cholesterol," says Cyndi Reeser, lead nutritionist at George Washington University Lipid Research Center. "I highly recommend them several times a week, if not daily."

Nuts:
      Nuts are loaded with fat and calories. Yet, in several studies, eating 2 to 4 ounces a day significantly reduced total and LDL cholesterol levels.
      Scientists speculate these benefits may come from poly- and monounsaturated fats, which can lower cholesterol when substituted for saturated fat, and several phytochemicals, like plant sterols, that can inhibit cholesterol absorption. However, "We rarely encourage eating nuts because they're too easy to overeat," says Streicher.

Mushroom - a health tonic


Protein content of mushroom is very close to milk, soyabean and animal food. They contain all essential amino acids. Some of the mushrooms are rich in lysine and tryhptophan. They are rich in vitamins and minerals.
Mushrooms are rich in folic acid, vitamin B12 and iron. One third of iron found in mushrooms is present in available form. Thus they are good for anaemic patients.
They are low in sugar content and thus are good for diabetics.
Being low in carbohydrate and fat and high in protein and vitamins, mushrooms form ideal item for those who want to loose weight.
Mushroom proteins are digested easily and thus are good for children and elderly.
They also contain Vitamin C and D and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, potassium, copper and iron. These are good for bone formation.
Some mushroom extracts have shown cholesterol lowering effects.
Mushroom or Manchurian tea is considered a very healthy drink. This is made from a type of mushroom which originated in the Russian region of Kargasok, where most of the people lived well over hundred years. It is also claimed that this tea lowers high blood pressure, prevents premature wrinkling of skin.
Mushroom extracts induce interferom formation which plays a crucial role in the defense mechanism against viral infection. Mushroom extract also has high amount of retene that has an antagonistic effect on some tumours.

Fruits and Vegetables Still a Good Bet Against Cancer
One of the mantras of modern health advice is that a diet high in fruits and vegetables is key to preventing cancer. So far, though, studies have been unable to pinpoint the responsible agents. For example, recent clinical trials of supplemental beta-carotene, pegged as one of the most promising anticancer nutrients, failed to show any benefit .

A study in the March 20 Journal of the National Cancer Institute may help clarify the relationship between some nutrients and cancer prevention. Researchers at the State University of New York at Buffalo interviewed nearly 300 premenopausal women with breast cancer and a similar number of cancer-free women about their consumption of 172 foods over the previous two years. Looking specifically at fruits, vegetables, and several of their nutritional components, the researchers found a strong protective effect against breast cancer for vegetables in general as well as for diets rich in vitamins C and E, folic acid, alpha- and beta-carotene, and dietary fiber. Fruit consumption didn't have as strong an effect. Interestingly, these components appeared to provide protection only when eaten as part of a regular diet; supplements offered no benefit.

No one nutrient will be a magic bullet

This study suggests that if you want to reduce your risk of cancer, the best approach is to eat more fruits and vegetables. The value of supplements is still in question, at least in warding off cancer.

Effect of Fats on Cholesterol levelsFa

A study in New England Journal of Medicine looked at how harder, processed fats such as stick margarine, butter and lard affect cholesterol levels when compared with softer products like tub margarine and oil.
The softer products were found to be healthier because the harder ones have more of what are called trans fatty acids, which raise cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. Trans fatty acids are created during a production process called hydrogenation, which transforms vegetable oil into a more solid substance so that it will resist spoiling.


In the study, 18 women and 18 men over 50 were each fed one of six diets for five weeks. Each diet provided 30 percent of calories from fat. Participants were given either soybean oil, semiliquid margarine, soft margarine, shortening, stick margarine or butter. Participants eventually were fed all six diets, and the researchers measured the effects on their cholesterol levels after each five-week period.

Posted on 5/13/2005 1:25:21 PM
Researchers checked the participants' levels of two opposing cholesterol forces in the bloodstream: LDL, or bad, cholesterol, which can clog arteries, and HDL, or good, cholesterol, which protects against heart disease.

People who consumed soybean oil reduced their levels of LDL cholesterol by an average of 12 percent compared with those who ate butter.
Those given semiliquid margarine lowered their levels 11 percent.
Among those who ate soft margarine, the level dropped 9 percent, and
for shortening, the level fell 7 percent.
Those who ate stick margarine reduced their LDL cholesterol only 5 percent.
Conversely, those who ate the softer fats had smaller reductions in HDL cholesterol.

The next time you have a salad, pour some oil-based salad dressing on it. Researchers say regular consumption of salad dressing actually may be good for your heart. A new study published in the May issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that oil and vinegar
salad dressing is an important source of alpha-linolenic acid, a polyunsaturated fat shown to have heart-healthy benefits.
Researchers at Harvard University in Boston followed 76,283 women over a 10-year period. The study participants had never been diagnosed with heart disease or cancer.
When the study began in 1984, women were asked how often they consumed 116 foods. During the study, 232 women died and 597 women developed heart disease.
Mayonnaise, creamy salad dressings and oil and vinegar dressings were the most common source of alpha-linolenic acid in the study, researchers say.


Posted on 5/14/2005 1:45:07 PM
"A higher intake of oil and vinegar salad dressing, an important source of alpha-linolenic acid, was associated with a reduced risk of fatal ischemic heart disease when women who consumed this food five to six or more times a week were compared with those who rarely consumed this
food," researchers write.
There also was a slightly lower risk of fatal heart disease
associated with a higher consumption of creamy salad dressings and mayonnaise, study results showed.
Fat-free salad dressings, very popular among women, may not
provide the healthy types of fat the body needs.
Researchers say the study raises "concern about widespread use of fat-free salad dressings, which has eliminated an important source of alpha-linolenic acid ... in the U.S. diet."
