     One question that has popped up a few times in my email in box relates to the issue of hormones in whey protein supplements. Are there hormones in your whey? It?s not a simple "yes" or "no" answer I am sorry to say, but the short answer is, people have nothing to fear.Being an animal based product derived from milk, whey, like any animal based product, could potentially contain some naturally occurring hormone(s). The issue is, which hormone and in what amounts?Modern testing abilities being a…

807. Healthy Breakfast, Healthy Life By Penny Williams
     You should always have breakfast. It's the one meal of the day you should never skip. The reason is that by the time breakfast comes around you have been fasting for around 10-12 hours. This was fine while you were resting and sleeping, but now your body needs to be re-charged with nutrients and energy so that it can cope with a sudden shift in pace.If you always find that you are too rushed to have breakfast or to have a decent breakfast, get up earlier. Breakfast should be a time for eas…

809. Substitutes for Butter By Paul Jerard
     Instead of Butter: Use top quality, cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil, from the first pressing, or flaxseed oil. The taste of virgin olive oil is appealing to millions of people around the world, so why not adopt it to your taste?Flaxseed oil is prized for health reasons and not for its taste.

812. Not all Fats are Bad By Dianne Ronnow
     Fats have been unfairly lumped together as being all bad for too long. Fat doesn’t necessarily cause disease, and can actually cause a role in its prevention. The truth is that some fats are very bad for us and some fats are actually very good for us.Time has shown us that diets that restrict all fats fail in terms of weight loss. Since the end of World War II, Americans have been told that they need to restrict saturated fat in their diets. So we switched to margarine from butter, and did …

815. Do You Need Milk? By Erleen Tilton
     Most of us have been raised on milk. Not only that, many of us have been raised with the “Basic Four Food Groups” and other dietary guidelines that recommend milk as one or our daily food needs. However, there is much we need to understand about milk and how if affects our bodies, what it does and does not provide, and how today’s dairy milk differs from the milk that used to be found on the farm or in the past.Let’s first understand that we as humans are mammals. We are the only mammals wh…



816. Choosing Fruits and Vegetables For A Healthy Diet By Dave Saunders
     The new food guidelines issued by the United States government recommend that all Americans eat about nine servings of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables each and every day. This is important to provide your body with the minimal levels of essential nutrients and antioxidants needed by each and every cell in your body to support optimal health. When you first hear that number, it may seem like a lot, but it is actually much easier than you think to fit that many servings of fruits and vegetables…



817. What Actually Is Health? By Dr. Jamie Fettig
     Nature works mostly on the principle of thing and no thing. Light is the thing and darkness is the absence of light. Sound is the thing and silence is the absence of sound. Health is the thing, and symptoms and disease are the absence of health. But some time back they got mixed up. Somehow symptoms and disease became the thing, and once you treated away the symptoms and disease, you would be left with health. And yet most people know that health is more than the absence of symptoms and diseas…

820. Death, Aging, Rejuvenation (Part 2) By Aleksandr Kavokin, MD/PhD
     DeathDeath. Why it happens? Why do we die? Why do animals die? Why do plants die? What is the need of this? In my opinion mechanism of death was selected during Evolution.From the position of Darwin's theory of Natural Selection everything, that benefits survival of species and gives advantage in Natural Selection, is preserved in following generations.Improvements were often left unchanged from the moment of life appearance.

We have been lead to view this important nutrient with caution, associating it with weight gain, wheat allergies and bloating. Bi…

As such, more people than ever before are reading the Nutrition Facts panel on product labels to truly …
