Although the elderly are less active and need less energy from food than young adults, their nutrient requirement is just as important, if not more. Therefore, it is crucial that meals are planned for the elderly to ensure that they can receive their daily required servings of nutrients. Here are some guidelines that can help you during your meal planning for the elderly:

1. Select white fish or white meat of poultry. Darker fish and the dark meat of poultry are much higher in fat. When eating red meat, be sure you trim the fat. Choose packages of ground meat that are marked “extra lean”.

2. Drink skim milk often. The calcium and high-quality protein in milk are extremely beneficial. Even though bones may have stopped growing, the body needs calcium to prevent bone deterioration. Continue reading ‘Healthy Eating Guide For the Elderly’ »

How to look at cancer from a NATURAL point of view

Cancer and your diet

The following excerpt comes from a well-known medical magazine and the idea was to deal it with people who are more looking at natural remedies and life without pills.

In cases where patients have already been diagnosed with cancer, treatment is definitely necessary.

— An apple a day plus a veggie-intensive diet are the stars of new cancer prevention studies.

— A chemical in apples helped prevent colon cancer in laboratory studies.

— Three or more servings of vegetables a day — potatoes not included — reduced risk of cancer In studies.

— “It’s been estimated that up to one-third of cancers are related to food we eat. … That’s a lot of preventable cancers” . Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables protect the body from damaging free radicals “like rust-proofing your car. Cyanidins are also found in abundance in red wine and cocoa.

Cancers that affect the digestive system can be especially difficult to manage because they can interfere with your ability to process your food and absorb the nutrients that you would need to help fight the disorder. One such gastrointestinal cancer is colorectal, which can actually be divided into colon and rectal cancers. Currently, doctors and researchers are trying to comprehend the link between colorectal cancer and asbestos exposure.

The colon is the longest part of the large intestine, whose purpose is to absorb any nutrients that were not taken in by the small intestine. Additionally, the colon absorbs water from your food to help you stay hydrated. Colon cancer often begins in the cells lining the colon which make mucus and other fluids to help lubricate the passage of your food. Thus, when these cells become cancerous, they can form blocks in your intestinal system. Continue reading ‘The Connection Between Colorectal Cancer and Asbestos’ »

Nutrients: Thou shall consume into thy body only foods that are produced by plants to live healthy, and forbid everything that is produced in a plant. The first plant is a living organism that is God-made, but the second plant is a building that is man-made.

The first plant produce living phytonutrients with potent antioxidants compounds in the form of vitamins and minerals that protect body cells from the damaging effects of Free Radicals. Free Radicals are by-products of oxidative damages to the cells of the body, as a natural result of metabolism, or from our unhealthy lifestyle of fry foods, smoking and other poisons we put in our body.

Free Radicals also come from the polluted environment, and the damage to the cells is associated with an increased risk of many chronic lifestyle diseases. Antioxidants such as vitamin C, carotenes and vitamin E reduce the damage caused by these radicals.

Balanced Diet: Thou shall have a balanced diet every day and live healthy. Yield not to the temptation to eat your meal up-side-down. For thy health sake, eat your heaviest meals between breakfast and lunch. Dinner and supper should be lighter than the others.

Regardless of which way you lean politically, the fact is that there’s something that all seniors… and everyone really… in the U.S. should be thinking about right now, more than ever before.

Your health!

That’s right, if you haven’t been paying attention lately, the health care bill that might (or shall I say, will likely) get passed may not be…shall we say…great for the older people in this country.

Here are some very strong reasons why:

“PG 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3 Government provides approved list of end of life resources, guiding you in death!”

“PG 427 Lines 15-24 Government mandates program for orders for end of life. The Government has a say in how your life ends!”

“Pg 429 Lines 1-9 An “adv. care planning consult” will be used frequently as patients health deteriorates.”
“PG 429 Lines 10-12 “adv. care consultation” may include an ORDER for end of life plans. AN ORDER from GOVERNMENT!!!”

“Pg 429 Lines 13-25 – The government will specify which Doctors can write an end of life order.”

“PG 430 Lines 11-15 The Government will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.”

Now I’m not going to tell you to call your senators or congress men and women. I’m not going to tell you what you should think of this proposal, nothing like that!
