As crazy as this may sound even though the word cholesterol is considered an evil element in your diet, cholesterol is in fact essential for life. Your body needs it to make sex hormones, bile, vitamin D, cell membranes, and nerve sheaths.

I have to say as a dietitian, I don’t like focusing on “how many calories do I need?” with my clients. I think there’s a certain value in knowing what you need for daily activities and exercise and determining how many calories you should cut to lose weigh safely.

This was originally referred to as “swine flu” because laboratory testing showed that many of the genes in this new virus were very similar to those found in pigs in North America. Further on, it has been found that this new virus has gene segments from the swine, avian and human flu virus genes. The scientists calls this a “quadruple reassortant” virus and hence this new (novel) virus is christened “influenza-A (H1N1) virus”. Read the rest of this entry »
Natural vitamins are found in food substances, like plants and animals. The human body cannot make all vitamins by itself, they need to supplemented with a diet rich in vegetables, fruits and fresh meat. Vitamin deficiency is a major health concern in America. More than 65% of Americans fall below the recommended dietary allowance (RDA), as they rely more on processed food than a fresh intake of fruits and vegetables, which could furnish the daily vitamin requirements.
