			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The healthiest diet, of course, is to eat a wide variety of foods including as many whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables as possible.Â  But, there are some foods that, through their chemical natures, are better at protecting the body from cancer.Â  This article identifies nine of these super-foods, the natural components found in them, and a simplified description of how these phytochemicals work their magic.Before we do that, however, two very important dietary rules for avoiding cancer must be mentioned:Â  low fat, high fiber.Â  A diet that is high in animal fats requires the body to release extra bile acids into the intestines during digestion.Â  The natural bacteria that live in our intestines react with these excess bile acids resulting in the creation of carcinogens.Â  Eating plenty of fiber keeps the intestines moving quickly, not allowing these carcinogens to cause damage before being eliminated from the body.Â  In addition, fiber in the intestines actually binds with the bile acids not allowing them to react with the natural bacteria.Â  The human body is constantly producing unstable molecules called oxidants.Â  You may have heard these oxidants referred to as free radicals.Â  Free radicals steal electrons from other molecules which damages the cell proteins and DNA of the original molecule.Â  This damage leaves the cell vulnerable to cancer.Â  The active chemicals in food, called phytochemicals, are anti-oxidants.Â  They search out the oxidants (free radicals) and prevent them from causing damage.Â  In some instances, phytochemicals can even repair damage already done.Â  Hereâs how it works.BroccoliSulforaphane, found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, boosts the bodyâs natural cancer fighting properties.Â  It does this by mobilizing special enzymes in the body called phase II detoxifying enzymes.Â  These enzymes neutralize cancer-causing agents before they can affect cells.Â  To receive the maximum benefit of sulforaphane, broccoli should be eaten raw.Â  Scientists recently discovered that broccoli sprouts contain levels of sulforaphane that are much, much higher than those found in mature broccoli.Â  Youâll be seeing a lot more broccoli sprouts on my sandwiches and salads!CarrotsAnother recent discovery in the science of plant chemicals is falcarinol found in carrots.Â  Falcarinol acts as a natural pesticide for the carrot while it is growing, keeping it protected from fungal diseases.Â  The exact mechanism that falcarinol uses to fight cancer is still unknown.Chili PeppersCapsaicin is the chemical in hot peppers that give them their bite.Â  At a cellular level, capsaicin induces a state called apoptosis in the cancer cells.Â  Apoptosis can be defined as programmed cell death.Â  You could say that it causes the cancer cell to commit suicide.GarlicGarlic contains a chemical allium, which works to increase activity of our bodyâs natural immune cells.Â  Allium also causes cells to become more vulnerable to stress created by the by-products of cell division.Â  Since cancer cells divide very rapidly, they are affected by allium more than normal cells, which divide much more slowly.NutsNuts are one of natureâs best sources of selenium.Â  Selenium has been shown to improve the efficiency with which DNA repairs itself after exposure to damaging free radicals.Â  Brazil nuts eaten from the shell are especially high in selenium.Â  In addition, nuts contain omega-3 fatty acid.Â  The omega-3 fatty acids block a protein that has been shown to increase sensitivity to carcinogens in laboratory studies.Red grapesAnthocyanins, found in dark red and purple foods, can reduce the growth of an enzyme, human DNA topoisomerase II, that triggers the growth of cancer cells in the human body.Â  Grape juice is an excellent source of anthocyanins.Â  Good news, read the labels of 100% fruit drinks and you are very likely to find grape juice.SoyThe phytochemical in soy, genistein, inhibits the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor survival.Â  Without these blood vessels, the tumor shrinks.Â  Soy also works to block bile acids.TeaAntioxidants in tea, catechins, appear to prevent cancer cells from dividing.Â  The phytochemical EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) present in green tea, binds to a protein found on tumor cells and dramatically slows their growth.TomatoesLycopene, a very powerful antioxidant, isnât found in many other fruits and vegetables.Â  Lycopene stimulates the production of phase II detoxification enzymes which neutralize carcinogens and allow them to be excreted out of the body.Â  Processing tomatoes by turning them into sauce increases the levels of lycopene.So remember, choose vegetables fats over animal fats, pack your diet with a wide variety of fruits, vegetable and whole grains, and include the nine foods mentioned above often.Â  Live a long, healthy, happy life! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The risk of developing cancer has become one of the most thought provoking issues of our time. Worldwide statistics show that as bountious as 10.9 million people are diagnosed with some form of cancer every year. As research into the food we eat becomes augmented complex and innovative, it reveals that there are numerous &#8217;super foods&#8217; which not only fight cancer cells, but can also support to stave off it from ever occurring.</p>
<p>What is Cancer and Why Is It Greater Prevailing Than Ever?</p>
<p>All living things are comprised of a range of cells, such as kidney cells, brain cells and skin cells.</p>
<p>Cancer develops when a particular cell mutates, then begins to grow and divide. Eventually, these cells form a mass called a malignant tumor, which often starts to invade surrounding tissue and organs.</p>
<p>Are Super Foods The Way To Go?</p>
<p>It is thought that up to one third of cancer related deaths could be diet related. Many of the foods we eat today can in fact be harmful to the cells in our bodies, particularly &#8216;rapid food&#8217;, which often takes in steep rates of saturated fat.</p>
<p>A considerable European study has recently shown that &#8216;junk food&#8217; may in fact be a primary basis of cancer of the pancreas, the urinary tract and of the womb, which makes saturated fat especially breakneck for women. There is however, an abundance of super foods that comprise cancer fighting anti-oxidants and enzymes. These foods fall into a number of categories and it is greatest to look at their properties separately.</p>
<p>Fruit and Vegetables</p>
<p>Time and time again we are reminded of natures way of maintaining a sustaining body.  Raw carrots are rich in beta carotene and substances called falcarinol and polyacethylens, which can help to impede a wide diversity of cancer including, breast, stomach, throat, lung, prostate, bladder and intestinal.  Sweet potatoes are thought to have a number of cancer fighting properties including carotenoids (beta carotene is one form).  Turnips and their leaves contain a substance called glucose molaes, which is said to attack cancer cells. </p>
<p>Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale and sprouts are rich in the anti-oxidants; lutein and zeaxanthin which are thought to be particularly affective at inhibiting breast and prostate cancer.  Broccoli and sprouts also incorporate a substance called phytochemical sulforaphane, which is a by-product of glucoraphanin and is especially useful at impeding bowel cancer.  Kale is thought to retain indoles, which are nitrogen compounds and are said to limit lesions in estrogen sensitive areas, such as the ovaries, mutating into cancerous cells.</p>
<p>Beetroot is full of anti-oxidants that specifically attack lung cancer cells.</p>
<p>Tomatoes carry vitamin C and a carotenoid called lycopene that fights oxygen molecules which are also known as &#8216;free radicals&#8217;. Free radicals are often believed to trigger cancer cells. Lycopene is notable in its aptitude to aid the joust against rectal and colon cancer, as well as prostate, breast, mouth and cancer of the pancreas. Cooked and canned/pureed tomatoes are said to be especially concentrated in lycopene.</p>
<p>Avocados have prolific amounts of an anti-oxidant called glutathione. Glutathione attacks free radicals and stops the absorption of certain saturated fats into the intestine. Avocados incorporate exorbitant levels of beta-carotene and potassium, which is also very gainful for the heart.  Citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons and limes possess stiff amounts of vitamin C, folic acid and monoterpenes, which can a helping hand to dispose of carcinogens from the body and are believed to repress cancer cells.Papayas carry prolific amounts of vitamin C and folic acid, which are both highly practical anti-cancer components.</p>
<p>Soya bean products such as tofu include phytoestrogens and isoflavones, which when absorbed in sensible amounts (no deeper than four or five ounces per day) are thought to block and relief repress cancer cells from forming and are particularly associated with lowering the risk of breast cancer. Incidences of breast cancer are significantly lower in Asian countries where soy products are consumed regularly. However, caution must be exercised, as research suggests that eating too much soy may basis hormone imbalances which can in fact stimulate cancer cells.</p>
<p>Figs comprise a form of benzaldehyde, which is renowned for its adeptness to shrink tumors.  Grapes, particularly the red varieties, include resveratrol and ellagic acid which combine to block the enzymes that are responsible for the success of cancer cells. They also subsume strong anti-oxidants called bioflavonoids.  Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and other berries that are red or black in color consist of a wide variation of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and plant compounds that are thought to be very worthy against multitudinous forms of cancer.</p>
<p>Herbs and Spices</p>
<p>Rosemary is said to have detoxifying properties and can repress the advancement of tumors. Laboratory tests have revealed that it is principally sufficient against breast and skin tumors. Tumeric belongs to the ginger family and it is thought to help reduce the inflammation that is connected to stomach, bowel and colon cancer. </p>
<p>Root ginger has been used by Chinese medics for centuries and is well regarded for its various healing benefits. It can be used as a spice in savoury and sweet dishes and as a herbal tea.  Garlic is well renowned for its blood thinning and anti-bacterial properties. It can also support to wipe out oxidants that purpose cancer, such as carcinogens and free radicals. Eating raw or cooked garlic has been found to be far numerous compelling than taking garlic supplements. </p>
<p>Licorice root takes in a chemical called glycyrrhizin which is considered to help block the maturation of prostate cancer cells, though an excessive consuming of licorice can lead to raised blood pressure.  Chilli peppers are rich in a substance called capsaicin that is regarded to be a preventative against intestinal cancer.</p>
<p>Beverages</p>
<p>Black, green and white teas retain antioxidants which are also known as polyphenols. These antioxidants are considered to expressly defend against cancer cells and stop them from dividing and spreading. White and green tea is regarded as being particularly efficient against lung, colon, rectal and stomach cancer as well as cancer of the liver and pancreas.</p>
<p>Who doesn&#8217;t like red wine?  Red wine also takes in polyphenols and a substance called resveratrol which has been discovered to be present in grape skin. These antioxidants are known to counter free radicals. It is thought that the pinot noir grape range takes in the largest amounts of resveratrol, particularly in wines where the grapes are grown in cooler, rainy climates, such as Chile in South America. If However, alcohol is consumed in gigantic amounts it can actually be a antecedent of cancer, so it is greatest drink no deeper than one glass of red wine per day.</p>
<p>There are numerous other foods that are considered to be excellent cancer preventatives. Seaweed and sea vegetables subsume fiber, proteins, beta-carotene, folic acid, and a fatty acid called chlorophylone. These forms of vegetable are said to a helping hand counter breast cancer. Nuts and seeds are naturally stiff in omega-3 fatty acid, which is essential for brain function. Nuts also emcompass a mineral called selenium and are rich in antioxidants such as quercetin and campferol. Nuts and seeds are regarded as primarily sufficient at repelling prostate and colon cancer cells, as well as being a natural preventative against the threat of heart disease. </p>
<p>Mushrooms have prolific amounts of potent compounds called polysaccharides. These compounds are thought to build up resistance against cancer cells. Certain varieties of mushroom are perceived to be particularly efficient, these include; reishi, shiitake and maitake, and are widely used in Japanese cuisine.</p>
<p>The benefits of eating a energy-giving, balanced diet have become deeper apparent as research into cancer and other destructive diseases evolve. A diet rich in vegetables, fruit and lean meat is much more of a priority in our daily lives than it was twenty years ago and medical advice suggests that eating at least five portions of fruit or vegetables per day can significantly lower the risk of bounteous forms of cancer and heart infirmity, as well as preventing obesity. The threat of obesity is a volatile contention and for the basic time in many years the life expectancy of our children is thought to be lower than our own, which is an extremely worrying statistic. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi, first let us get all the hype out of the way. You are reading this to satisfy your doubts about ACAI. Right? So why should what I have to say make a difference? You do not know me, nor do you know most of the other people who are hyping this new berry from a palm tree. Before I tell you about ACAI, let me tell you a little about me.<br />
I am a writer-huh!, my name is Jerry W. Rockett. I am published on none medical genre, mostly romantic. I have a book I do hope to publish soon which the title will tell it all, &#8220;Run FromYour Doctor.&#8221; Here is the important part. The book is the result of my findings while doing alternative medicine research. I was shocked when I found out what our traditional medicine is doing to our bodies and felt the public should know. So perhaps that gives me some credibility.<br />
Here is what is claimed for Acai berry products, they are so delicate you are not likely ever to find the fresh berries. So we will deal with capsules and tablets products.<br />
What are the Chief Health Benefits that have made Acai berries famous?<br />
* Boosts energy levels   * Improves digestive function<br />
* Improves mental clarity/focus * Promotes sound sleep<br />
* Provides all vital vitamins  * Contains several important minerals<br />
(* Is an extremely powerful free radical fighter)<br />
* Acai has very high levels of fibers<br />
* Cleanses and Detoxifies the body* Strengthens your immune system<br />
* Enhances sexual desire and performance  * Fights cancerous cells<br />
(* Slows down the aging process)[* Alleviates diabetes]<br />
* Promotes healthier and younger-looking skin<br />
* Enhances visual acuity<br />
[* Helps maintain healthy heart function]* Improves circulation<br />
* Normalizes and regulates cholesterol levels<br />
* Minimizes inflammation  [* Prevents artherosclerosis]<br />
That is probably more information than you really wanted. I flagged three suggested benefits that I question, not that Acai does not aid in these cases but I would not take a bushel of berries to do something that something else does far better. If you want help with diabetes take over the counter minerals Selenium, Chromium Picolinate and Vanadium. If you want to alleviate or prevent artherosclerosis, take 3000 mg of vitamin C and add Chia seed meal to your diet. An extremely high content of Omega 3/6 in the right ratio. One of nature&#8217;s secret super foods. Any color just in case you run into the Canada ads.<br />
You see I also two flagged benefits that really relate to the antioxidant content of Acai. They are important considerations but you will not obtain the highest level available for a cost effective result desired.<br />
Now to the bottom line about Acai. It has two major avenues in which the sellers are hyping the product. Cleansing and detoxification of the body, very important and desirable functions. The second is for weight loss. While Acai does have hunger depressants, it is ranked as 101 of 200 available products for that function. As to the cleansing and detoxification, there is some of that, but not the most effective way of accomplishing what you probably desire. In our modern world of food production, it is almost impossible to eat without eating some toxin material. Material which is intentionally put into your pre-prepared food items from your breakfast foods, all the way to your Gourmet. FDA allows food processors to ad without labeling over 15,000 chemicals to enhance flavor, color, shelf life, looks, taste and you name it, they have a compound just for you. Our body in turn treats each of these, along with the simple carbohydrates, as toxins. That only means our body goes into defense mode, when it should be in digestion and health. The point is, if you want to cleanse and detoxify your body, I do recommend doing that, then get a product specific for that function and do it often.<br />
Okay ladies and gentlemen step right up and let me sell you Acai. Yea, yea, I too have an Acai product to sell. I believe this product offers the best Acai has to offer, but not necessarily all the things listed above, not as a sell promo topic. Please understand the difference. I am not promoting Acai with the hype items above, but my product does do all those things as well.<br />
If you really want to lose weight, if you really want to make a positive change for your future health, let me suggest an eating lifestyle change. I will tell you more in a moment. You are genetically programmed by your DNA to be a certain shape, you cannot change that programming. Would it not be better and easier if you developed eating habits that allowed that form of you to show through rather than you trying to chisel a pound here and a pound there, then go back to your old ways. That is one major reasons diets do not work in the long run. You just cannot sustain them. So instead, why not change your eating lifestyle and bring your family along. The cook of the house should not be a short-order cook, but more the conductor of a gastro-symphony of appetizing food selections.<br />
Pssss! One danger to look out for, the old meat and potato guy. He will hate this new style but tell him to grow up and live. Meat requires acid to digest and potatoes require enzymes, when put into the same digestive grinder that is mass conflict often leading to partly digested foods which may get stuck in the large intestines and putrefy. Tell him you will prove it at the autopsy.<br />
Here are the basics to a eating lifestyle change:<br />
No white food.No vegetable oils or margarineNo fried foods<br />
No boxed foodsNo soft drinks, no carbonatedNo sweetened fruit drinks<br />
No fast foodsNo snacks but raw vegetablesNo red meats<br />
No food after 6PM<br />
Do use olive oil and butter. Do eat six smaller meals per day rather than the traditional three. Never miss eating breakfast. Always wash any fresh vegetable and fruit products, you never know where they came from. Use your local farmer&#8217;s market if you have one. Drink fresh raw milk, goat is preferred. Eat light portions of the so called white meats, fish, turkey, chicken and pork and if you can get it, rabbit. Nibbling all day on fresh vegetables is a good thing but not raw fruits. Eat fresh fruits at each meal but not in between. Look into pick your own fruit sources, fresher and more nutritious.  Get dairy products locally and eat lots of eggs, great for you.<br />
Now here is the surprise. I really do not care where you obtain these next three items even if I do sell one of them. I highly recommend you obtain the Chinese brands of Goji Berries, super high in Beta Carotene and other essential nutrients, a super food. I mentioned this one earlier but I cannot over hype what I feel about the benefits of Chia sead meal. This is a power pack in a tiny seed you can hardly see, but rich in antioxidants, essential minerals, essential vitamins and every thing else you need for good health plus the Omega 3/6 combo mentioned earlier. Then to round out this healthy trio is the Acai. It does contain many of the essential nutrients our bodies need and ads just a twist to how the good compounds are put together, giving our body a great selection of health building nutrients. One other item to round your lifestyle of eating is a better water source. Go to Ebay and purchase a 3 oz. satchel of Prill Beads, Magnesium Oxide pebbles which you use to decontaminate your tap water for all your water based drinking fluid.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Acai Berry is being promoted as a super fruit and with good reason. Acai Berries are considered one of the richest fruit sources of antioxidants.<br />
These are the same antioxidants that destroyed cultured human cancer cells in a University of Florida study in early 2006, this was one of the first serious studies to investigate the &#8217;super fruit&#8217;s&#8217; supposed benefits.<br />
The Acai Berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of the leukaemia cells tested when applied for 24 hours. Depending on the extract and concentration, anywhere from about 35 percent to 86 percent of the cancer cells were destroyed!<br />
It has been shown in other studies that compounds demonstrating a positive effect against cancer cells are more likely to have a beneficial effect on our entire body.<br />
The Acai Berry is not only loaded with antioxidants, it also contains anthocyanins (20 times the amount found in red wine), omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids which are rarely found in fruit, the berries are also low in calories and contain fibre, calcium, amino acids, minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium and vitamins B1, B2, B3, C and E.<br />
This high concentration of elements can also help to combat -<br />
Aging<br />
The high concentration of antioxidant anthocyanin, Omega 6 and Omega 9 fatty acids helps delay the natural aging process.<br />
Fight Heart Disease<br />
The high concentration of phytosterols in the Acai Berry helps to reduce heart related problems and disease.<br />
Control Cholesterol<br />
The Acai Berry has been proven to help maintain good cholesterol levels.<br />
Something this beneficial must taste pretty foul then right?<br />
Wrong! Many describe the taste as a combination of berry and earthy chocolate.<br />
When ripe, the berries are dark purple and about the size of a blueberry with a thin layer of edible pulp surrounding a large seed. Acai Berries are produced by a palm tree common on the floodplain areas of the Amazon River in Brazil.<br />
Brazilians have used Acai Berries for centuries to treat digestive disorders and skin conditions and they have come to take the place of rice, bread and milk.<br />
In the city of Belem, state capital of the Para region in Brazil more Acai juice is consumed on a daily basis than milk! Acai is an energiser and is suitable for all age groups. Large quantities are sent to the cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro where it has become the health drink of choice for both young and old alike.<br />
The rest of the World are now finally catching on to the little Acai Berry as they realize this little fruit really does deserve the title &#8216;Super Fruit&#8217;. </p>
