Does This Diet Work?

Red Wine

Lately everyone you talk to is either on a diet or watching their weight and wanting to lose a few pounds. There are so many diets on the market that it can literally make your head spin. Finding what diet suits your own individual style.

In the late 1930s a Dutch doctor called  Cornelius Moerman discovered that there was a lower incidence of cancers in certain regions where people regularly drank wine compared with other areas that had less consumption.

The doctor had found that acids and trace elements in wine naturally hinder tumor growth. According to his theory, cancer develops when the body lacks certain acids that acidify the blood and help prevent abnormal cell growth. The doctor also believed that certain  mineral deficiencies can make the body more susceptible to infections and tumors.

He developed a special diet that provides a balance of acids, vitamins, minerals, helps detoxify, stimulates immunity, and supports  the metabolism. But keep in mind this diet is not meant to replace a medical treatment.

Research has shown that daily consumption of red wine has many benefits. Red wine is rich in bioflavonoids, which help strengthen the heart tissue and reduces inflammation, which causes other diseases and cancers. However, drinking wine needs to be done in moderation.

My next post will delve deeper into this interesting diet.

Health risks of body fat

The United States is literally one of the world’s heaviest nations. One in three adults are obese.
 And as for our kids, one in every five weighs too much. The statistics may even be higher at this writing. Now obese and overweight are not the same in meaning. Obesity involves an excess of body fat were overweight means carrying around too many pounds.

A person can be overweight without being obese if the muscle mass is not stored as fat which is accounted for excess pounds. However, the important thing is that both of these conditions have similar risks which include hypertension, heart disease, and the onset of adult diabetes, a chance of developing various cancers.

Sedentary lifestyles and high fat diets all play a role in blame for those extra pounds and fat. It makes sense, then, to change your diet and add exercise to your daily routine can greatly improve your health and the quality of life.

Add more fiber into your diet for curbing overeating includes more vegetables, and whole grains, which will help you feel fuller longer. Fill up on salads, use mixed nuts as a snack, drink plenty of water and bake your own goodies such as cookies, and cakes. Substitute the flour with whole grain flour, oat bran, wheat germ, and flax seed.

With determination and desire a healthy lifestyle will be yours.
