The 10 Healthiest Foods on the Planet

MEIKE BERGMANN/JUPITER IMAGES

Healthy Food #1: Lemons

Why They're Healthy:

— Just one lemon has more than 100 percent of your daily intake of vitamin C, which may help increase "good" HDL cholesterol levels and strengthen bones.

— Citrus flavonoids found in lemons may help inhibit the growth of cancer cells and act as an anti-inflammatory.

Quick Tip:

Add a slice of lemon to your green tea. One study found that citrus increases your body's ability to absorb the antioxidants in the tea by about 80 percent.

Healthy Food #2: Broccoli

Why It's Healthy:

— One medium stalk of broccoli contains more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin K requirement and almost 200 percent of your recommended daily dose of vitamin C — two essential bone-building nutrients.

— The same serving also helps stave off numerous cancers.

Quick Tip:

Zap it! Preserve up to 90 percent of broccoli's vitamin C by microwaving. (Steaming or boiling holds on to just 66 percent of the nutrient.)

Healthy Food #3: Dark Chocolate

Why It's Healthy:

— Just one-fourth of an ounce daily can reduce blood pressure in otherwise healthy individuals.

— Cocoa powder is rich in flavonoids, antioxidants shown to reduce "bad" LDL cholesterol and increase "good" HDL levels.

Quick Tip:

A dark chocolate bar contains about 53.5 milligrams of flavonoids; a milk chocolate bar has fewer than 14.

Healthy Food #4: Potatoes

Why They're Healthy:

— One red potato contains 66 micrograms of cell-building folate — about the same amount found in one cup of spinach or broccoli.

— One sweet potato has almost eight times the amount of cancer-fighting and immune-boosting vitamin A you need daily.

Quick Tip:

Let your potato cool before eating. Research shows that doing so can help you burn close to 25 percent more fat after a meal, thanks to a fat-resistant starch.

FOODCOLLECTION.COM

Healthy Food #5: Salmon

Why It's Healthy:

— A great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to a reduced risk of depression, heart disease, and cancer.

— A 3-ounce serving contains almost 50 percent of your daily dose of niacin, which may protect against Alzheimer's disease and memory loss.

Quick Tip:

Opt for wild over farm-raised, which contains 16 times as much toxic polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) as wild salmon.

Healthy Food #6: Walnuts

Why They're Healthy:

— Contain the most omega-3 fatty acids, which may help reduce cholesterol, of all nuts.

— Omega-3s have been shown to improve mood and fight cancer; they may protect against sun damage, too (but don't skip the SPF!).

Quick Tip:

Eat a few for dessert: The antioxidant melatonin, found in walnuts, helps to regulate sleep.

TIM HILL/STOCKFOOD

Healthy Food #7: Avocados

Why They're Healthy:

— Rich in healthy, satisfying fats proven in one study to lower cholesterol by about 22 percent.

— One has more than half the fiber and 40 percent of the folate you need daily, which may reduce your risk of heart disease.

Quick Tip:

Adding it to your salad can increase the absorption of key nutrients like beta-carotene by three to five times compared with salads without this superfood.

Healthy Food #8: Garlic

Why It's Healthy:

— Garlic is a powerful disease fighter that can inhibit the growth of bacteria, including E. coli.

— Allicin, a compound found in garlic, works as a potent anti-inflammatory and has been shown to help lower cholesterol and blood-pressure levels.

Quick Tip:

Crushed fresh garlic releases the most allicin. Just don't overcook; garlic exposed to high heat for more than 10 minutes loses important nutrients.

ADAM ALBRIGHT

Healthy Food #9: Spinach

Why It's Healthy:

— Spinach contains lutein and zeaxanthin, two immune-boosting antioxidants important for eye health.

— Recent research found that among cancer-fighting fruits and veggies, spinach is one of the most effective.

Quick Tip:

Spinach is a healthy — and flavorless — addition to any smoothie. You won't taste it, we promise! Try blending 1 cup spinach, 1 cup grated carrots, 1 banana, 1 cup apple juice, and ice.

PETER ARDITO

Healthy Food #10: Beans

Why They're Healthy:

— Eating a serving of legumes (beans, peas, and lentils) four times a week can lower your risk of heart disease by 22 percent.

— That same habit may also reduce your risk of breast cancer.

Quick Tip:

The darker the bean, the more antioxidants it contains. One study found that black bean hulls contain 40 times the amount of antioxidants found in white bean hulls.

Garlic for Weight Loss

Garlic has been used as a form of alternative medicine for thousands of years. It may be beneficial in the treatment or prevention of heart disease, the common cold and cancer, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Preliminary results suggest garlic may also be beneficial for weight loss, but further research is necessary to verify these effects and determine the amount of garlic necessary to produce weight-loss results.

Potential for Calorie Burning

A study published in "Nutrition Research and Practice" in June 2012 using aged garlic extract found that taking 80 milligrams per day of this supplement for 12 weeks helped women lose weight and reduce their body mass index. Don't count on garlic to help you lose a lot of weight, however, since study participants only lost about 6.6 pounds, or about 1/2 pound per week during the study. Garlic may increase the number of calories you burn during your daily activities and decrease your body's production of fat, notes another study published in "The Journal of Nutrition" in September 2011. Before trying garlic for weight loss, check with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you. Garlic can interact with certain medications, such as blood thinners, birth control pills, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and medications for tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus.

Business Major Drops 101 Pounds* of “Fat Baggage” and Picks Up Residual Income

No matter what he did, Jesse could never lose what he called his “fat baggage.” Even after all the diets and competitive football and swimming in high school, his weight never dropped below 230 pounds. When he left for college, the “baggage” became even heavier once the stress of being on his own mixed with the typical college life of partying and fast food. For Jesse, the ubiquitous “freshman 15” turned into the “freshman 40,” and by sophomore year the former athlete was close to 300 pounds.

“In a college setting people are very competitive and it’s in the back of your mind that you’re not in as good of shape as your peers” says the 21-year-old. “It kept me from participating in things, which made it difficult to fit in.”

Dejected, Jesse gave up on trying to balance healthy habits at school and his college experience began to revolve around playing video games and drinking. It wasn’t until a breakup that he decided to be more productive with his time and energy.

Introduced to Isagenix® by his mom, he was skeptical at first because he had tried everything but nothing seemed to help him keep the weight off for good. With each diet, one little cheat piled the pounds back on.

But his experience with Isagenix was much different. After his first Cleansing and Fat Burning System: 9-day supply, there was a noticeable change. After trying a second 9-Day, the results were undeniable. Soon, Jesse was down 31 pounds* and motivated to not only stay on the program, but also make some lifestyle changes. He began biking, lifting weights and even running, which he couldn’t do before. After losing a total of 101 pounds* on Isagenix, Jesse is now an avid believer in Nutritional Cleansing.

“I always knew how to eat healthy but I had never been introduced to the cleansing,” shares Jesse. “I think that was a key to getting rid of that extra fat baggage I’d been carrying around for years. It’s finally gone.”

Jesse is now a lean 189 pounds and sporting washboard abs—a great advertisement for his Isagenix business. After meeting other 100-Pound Club members at Celebration, Jesse feels honored to be among them and sees it as a great networking connection for his business. The newly-minted Consultant has had more success in the past year with his Isagenix business than with any summer job he’s ever had and views it as a great way to pay off student loans.

Impressed with the company and its business model, the business major plans to grow his business after graduation by targeting college-age kids and educating them on health and wellness.

“Isagenix has positively impacted my health and provided me with mental clarity, energy and physical improvements in strength and endurance, as well as a side income to live on while I’m in school,” shares Jesse. “It’s been the opportunity of a lifetime.”

The individuals pictured are actual Isagenix Associates and not paid models.

*Weight loss should not be considered typical. In a study performed in 2012 by University of Illinois at Chicago researchers, subjects lost an average of 9 pounds with an average of 2 pounds of the loss from visceral fat after 30 days on an Isagenix system. The subjects also had a greater level of adherence and had more consistent weight loss from week to week compared to subjects on a traditional diet.

** Earning levels for Isagenix Independent Associates that appear in this publication are examples and should not be construed as typical or average. Income level achievements are dependent upon the individual Associate’s business skills, personal ambition, time, commitment, activity, and demographic factors. For average earnings, see the Isagenix Independent Associate Earnings Statement found at IsagenixEarnings.com.

Isagenix Millionaires are defined as Isagenix Associates who have cumulatively earned $1 million or more with Isagenix.

The One Minute Cure

The One Minute Cure

I have taught thousands of people about H2O2 over the years of my quest for lifelong health, vitality and "real" nutrition. 35% Food Grade Hydrogen could well be called the fountain of youth or "The One Minute Cure" for sure. I have been using it for many, many years and it never ceases to amaze me. It is so powerful. Hydrogen is the smallest molecule on planet Earth. The 2 parts of oxygen attach themselves to the hydrogen and the hydrogen penetrates the cell wall very quickly. We all know what H2O is, we also know no life can be sustained without it. Do just a bit of research and I think you maybe able to benefit greatly from the amazing properties of H2O2! I am attaching 2 wonderful resources that I have found many years ago and I will stand by the results as I have seen them over and over! You can usually find H2O2 in most health food stores. It should be kept in the freezer. It will not freeze, that's how you know you are buying it 100% pure, not watered down. You will dilute it in the ratios you want to depending on the use of it. I use it at 50% strength (50% chlorine free water and 50% H2O2) to kill germs on things like my tooth brushes or animals dishes, it is a powerful disinfectant. I use 25% (diluted in chlorine free water) for high lighting my hair, tooth whiting, scrapes or cuts, or to give my skin a shot of rejuvenation after a bath or shower. I put a few drops in my water bottle and even my animals water to keep bacteria and viruses at bay.

If you want to read more about it go to: The One Minute Cure website:http://theoneminutecure.com/

If you email me I can send you a pdf version of the book or feel free to order from the website above. Dr. Christian Barnard calls it, "the fountain of youth". I agree with him, it is amazing for your skin, hair, teeth as well as the inside. It only takes a few drops to see and feel the difference. Follow the protocols when using this powerful agent that your body knows how to make when you are young. As we age, everything just s... l... o... w... s... way down, until the body can no longer rebuild and rejuvenate itself. That's why taking quality minerals and supplements is a must. When you run out of minerals, it is the signal to the brain that it is time to start shutting you down. No minerals, no hormones, no hormones, no energy, no healing ability, no rebuilding, no sleep, no balance, no memory, no sex drive, and many other things begin to fail. Once the hormonal system shuts down, then the adrenal system fails, one system at a time. When the glandular system shuts down, its just a matter of time until the organ systems fail. That is how the human body works. It knows how to bring and build itself into this world and it knows how to break down and take itself out! Don't neglect feeding your body or t will fail you much faster. That's why I am careful to take powerful minerals everyday. Vitamins alone wont do. Your body cannot even assimilate any vitamin without minerals. Join me for Health Talk on Fridays at 5 pm MST.

Picked A Bag Of Carrots And Then Quickly Froze It At Home!

If you like frozen carrots in the winter, just imagine how good it would taste if you had picked a bag yourself and then quickly froze it at home! It is also one of the simplest ways to put up a vegetable for the winter. Here's how to do it, complete instructions in easy steps and completely illustrated. The carrots will taste MUCH better than anything you've ever had from a store.

Directions for Freezing carrots /Ingredients and Equipment • fresh carrots - any quantity. I figure one handful per serving. • Vacuum food sealer or "ziploc" type freezer bags (the freezer bag version is heavier and protects better against freezer burn. • 1 Large pot of boiling water • 2 large bowls, one filled with cold water and ice. • 1 sharp knife.

Step 1 - Get yer carrots! Start with fresh carrots - as fresh as you can get. Select young, tender, coreless, medium length carrots. If there is a delay between harvesting and freezing, put it in the refrigerator or put ice on it. And don't use carrots that are old, limp, overripe or dried out.

Step 2 - Wash the carrots! I'm sure you can figure out how to rinse the carrots in plain cold or lukewarm water.

Step 3 - Peel the carrots, trim the ends and cut into smaller pieces A vegetable peeler works great! Then just take a sharp knife and cut of both ends (about 1/4 of an inch, or half the width of an average woman's little finger). Leave small carrots whole. Cut others into thin slices, 1/4-inch cubes or lengthwise strips as you prefer! Of course, if your prefer Julianne cut carrots, you can cut the carrots lengthwise in thin strips instead.

Step 4 - Get the pots ready Get the pot of boiling water ready (about 2/3 filled) and a LARGE bowl with ice and cold water.

Step 5 - Blanch the carrots. All fruits and vegetables contain enzymes and bacteria that, over time, break down the destroy nutrients and change the color, flavor, and texture of food during frozen storage. carrots requires a brief heat treatment, called blanching, in boiling water or steam, to destroy the enzymes before freezing. Blanch small whole carrots 5 minutes, diced or sliced 2 minutes and lengthwise strips 2 minutes. The duration is intended to be just long enough to stop the action of the enzymes and kill the bacteria. Begin counting the blanching time as soon as you place the carrots in the boiling water. Cover the kettle and boil at a high temperature for the required length of time. You may use the same blanching water several times (up to 5). Be sure to add more hot water from the tap from time to time to keep the water level at the required height.

Step 6 - Cool the carrots Cool carrots immediately in ice water. Drain the carrots thoroughly. After vegetables are blanched, cool them quickly to prevent overcooking. Plunge the carrots into a large quantity of ice-cold water (I keep adding more ice to it). A good rule of thumb: Cool for the same amount of time as the blanch step. For instance, if you blanch sweet carrots for 7 minutes, then cool in ice water for 7 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

Step 7 - Bag the carrots I love the FoodSavers (see this page for more information) with their vacuum sealing! I am not paid by them, but these things really work. If you don't have one, ziploc bags work, too, but it is hard to get as much air out of the bags. remove the air to prevent drying and freezer burn. TIP: If you don't own a vacuum food sealer to freeze foods, place food in a Ziploc bags, zip the top shut but leave enough space to insert the tip of a soda straw. When straw is in place, remove air by sucking the air out. To remove straw, press straw closed where inserted and finish pressing the bag closed as you remove straw.

Step 8 - Done! Pop them into the freezer, on the quick freeze shelf, if you have one!

Tips • Harvest the carrots at its peak maturity but not old - they get tough and fiberous; younger is better than older • Process promptly after harvesting, or keep cooled in the fridge or with ice until then.

Frequently Asked Questions 1. I've frozen carrots but they seem so rubbery after being cooked. Any idea why? Generally, that means the carrots were either old to being with, or they were overcooked. It only takes 2 to 5 minutes to blanch the carrots, then plunge them immediately into ice water. 2. How long can they be frozen? It depends upon how cold is your freezer and how you packed them. Colder (deep freezes) are better than frost free compartments, which actually cycle above freezing (that's how they melt the ice). Vacuum packing results in longer storage capability, too. Thicker bags also help prevent freezer burn. In general, up to 9 months in a ziploc bag in an ordinary freezer, and 14 months in a deep freeze in a vacuum packed bag. After that, the carrots won't make you sick; they just won't taste as good.

The Top 5 Exercises For Killer Abs

There are great uses for a strong midsection beyond just showing off the body though. While it’s a great way to attract a member of the opposite sex it serves a certain purpose for professional and other serious athletes.

A powerful set of abs is responsible for maintaining stability in your center, protecting your organs and your spine while providing the strength to move large amounts of weight. If you want to be able to muscle around massive amounts of weight with getting crushed, then you need to have a strong central core and training your body with the top 5 abs exercises is the right way to go.

The Anatomy of the Abs

The abs are located on the front and flanks of the lower portion of the torso, the rectus abdominus, the transverse abdominus and the obliques – that is the core of the abdominal muscle group. The entire muscle group attaches in various ways from the ribs down to the pelvis.

• Rectus Abdominus – the striping of connective tissue that provides the impression of deeply cut muscles between the 6 visible heads of the muscle.  The 6 pack.  This muscle is responsible for flexing the spine and bringing the rib cage closer to the pelvis.
• Transverse Abdominus – the deepest core muscle that wraps around the entire abdominal area.  This muscle is responsible for supporting the core of the trunk under duress and heavy lifting.  This muscle has one major purpose; to keep your guts inside your body.
• Obliques – These muscles allow us to move our core in numerous directions.  They run diagonally across the body and also work to support the core during common motions and heavy lifting.

The Top 5 Exercises for KillerAbs – The Breakdown

It’s easy to run through a lot of exercises while trying to get washboard abs, and you might even perform all of the top 5 abdominal exercises and still see few results if you’re not managing things properly. It’s important to use different speeds, tempos, positions and variations in the angles to mix things up. One of the best methods you can use is to ensure progress is to constantly set goals, then break them – continue to raise your goals with each workout.

Top Abdominal Exercise #1 – The Bicycle Crunch

It’s the move itself that mimics the bicycle ride, hence the name, but there is no real bicycle involved. This is one of the best exercises to hit your abdominals hard, including the oblique’s. The exercise uses the weight and resistance of your own body for training purposes, but if the entire process seems too easy for you then add weights to your legs or ankles.
To perform the bicycle crunch, lie down on the floor and put your hands behind your head. Do not lock your fingers as you don’t want to be pulling your head upward during the exercise using your arms. Raise your shoulder blades using the abdominal muscles, like you’re performing a crunch. Next, elevate your knees so that your knees are bent and your calf muscles are parallel to the floor. Begin by slowly pedaling your legs like you’re riding a bicycle. Compress your abdomen with each “row” by touching your knee with the opposite elbow as you draw the knee up.
Maintain your breathing – do not hold your breath. Your shoulders should remain elevated and you should not be using your hands to keep them elevated. This will ensure the maximum use of the abdominal muscles.

Top Abdominal Exercise #2 –Vertical Leg Raise

A vertical leg raise is ideal for hitting the lower abdominal muscles, and with variations in movement this top abdominal exercise can also hit the obliques as well – perhaps even better than the bicycle maneuver. It’s not truly possible to target a specific section of theabs because they are a cohesive muscle group, so expect this workout to hit all the major groups – you’ll definitely feel the pull in the lower abdomen though.
This works great from a captain’s chair. Support your body by placing your elbows on the horizontal pads with your back flush to the backpads. Grip the provided hand holds and let your feet dangle. Raise your knees toward your chest. Pause and flex your abdominal muscles then lower your legs under control to just before the starting position and raise again. Avoid the temptation to let your feet dangle and rest.

Top Abdominal Exercise #3 – Ab Wheels

This is one of those core exercises that hurts in just the right kind of way and will definitely sit at at the top of the most important core exercises for your abs. If you want washboardabs then this is most certainly the workout you want to aim for. It’s important to know your limitations because this workout can be difficult for someone that has a weak lower back.
To perform for starters, get on your knees using a mat or other workout pad under your knees for protection. Hold the wheel on the floor in front of you with your elbows extended slightly. Let the wheel roll out in front of your body as far as is comfortable. Use your abs, and no other part of your body, to draw the wheel back in.

Top Abdominal Exercise #4 – Clothespins

This is an abdominal exercise that uses full body motion while also delivering a core exercise to the abs. If you’re just starting your ab routines you may have a difficult time landing this maneuver properly but with work you’ll be able to get the motions down – it’s about a mixture of flexibility and core strength.
To perform, lay down and straighten your legs. Begin by sitting up in a semi-seated position while contracting your abdominal muscles then lift your legs to a 45 degree angle. Reach out toward your shins and hold the posture while contracting your abs. Return to your starting position slowly, under control.

Top Abdominal Exercise #5 – Flutter Kicks

Flutter kicks are a serious workout that will push the limits of your abs and stamina. This workout not only targets your abdominal muscles but will target your back muscles as well. There’s no set number of reps for this workout. The point is to push yourself to muscle fatigue where you simply cannot progress further. Continue challenging yourself to increase the length at which you do the flutter kicks or the number of kicks you get in within a set time limit.
To perform, lay on the floor with your legs straight. Place your hands under the outside of your gluts to support your lower back and raise your legs off the ground to a point where they are approximately 8-12” from the ground. Begin by raising one leg up to about 18-20” while lowering the other leg slightly then alternate the legs. Continue alternating for the full duration. If you need to take a break during this exercise, pull your knees to your chest and hold that position as if you were curled up into a ball. When ready, extend your legs and begin again.

Beginner Workout

• Bicycle Crunch - 2 Sets of 20 Reps
• Flutter Kicks - 2 Sets of 10 reps with each Leg

Intermediate Workout

• Vertical Leg Raises - 2 Set of 15 Reps
• Bicycle Crunch - 2 Sets of 15 Reps
• Ab Wheel - 2 Sets of 12 Reps

Advanced Workout

• Flutter Kicks - 2 Sets of 12 Reps with Each Leg
• Ab Wheel - 2 Sets of 12 Reps
• Vertical Leg Raises - 2 Sets of 15 Reps
• Clothespins - 2 Sets of 12 Reps
• Bicycle Crunches - 2 Sets of 20 Reps

When adding these top 5 abdominal exercises into your regular routine, remember to also target some exercises that will improve the strength of your lower back.  While you will be working your back muscles during your ab workouts, your back needs to have its own specialized programs so that it can sustain the itself through the duration of the other workouts.

Top 5 Healthy Fruits to Eat for Weight Loss

Published by FitWatch

Virtually all fruit is beneficial as part of a healthy diet, but there are some that have higher concentrations of vitamins and nutrients.  These “power fruits” are great for improving your health and encouraging healthy weight loss. Below is a list of the top 5 healthy fruits to eat for weight loss and general health:

Healthy Fruit #1 - Berries

Berries are loaded with vitamin C and fiber, and they are also one of the fruits with the lowest sugar content.  They are also low in calories:  1 cup of strawberries has only 50 calories; 1 cup of blueberries has 80 calories; 1 cup of raspberries has 65 calories; and 1 cup of blackberries has only 60 calories.  Berries are an excellent snack if you’re craving something sweet.

Healthy Fruit #2 - Bananas

Bananas have gotten a bad reputation over the years for being one of the more fattening fruits, but recent studies show that they are actually very beneficial.  Not only are they high in potassium and fiber, they contain a special kind of starch called “resistant starch”.  Preliminary research shows that this starch can actually help improve your body’s fat burning process and suppress your appetite.  One medium banana has just over 100 calories.

Healthy Fruit #3 - Mangoes

One medium mango has only 130 calories, more than 3 grams of dietary fiber, and substantial amounts of vitamin C, vitamin A, and even a little bit of calcium.  Mangoes contain more sugar than some of the other fruits listed here, so eat them in moderation.

Healthy Fruit #4 - Apples

The old adage goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” - and with good reason!  Apples are definitely one of the healthiest fruits you can eat.  A medium apple has less than 100 calories, more than 4 grams of fiber, and a good dose of vitamin C.

Healthy Fruit #5 - Grapes

One cup of grapes has just over 100 calories.  They are rich in vitamin C, but they have only a modest amount of fiber.  If you have a choice between green grapes and red grapes, go for the red!  Red grapes have more antioxidants and a bigger nutritional punch than green grapes.

There are many other healthy fruits to eat beyond the five we have shared with you here, but these are a great start if you want to improve your health and drop a few pounds.
