As the number of people searching for the fastest and easiest way to lose weight continue to grow, so does the manufacturers of weight loss supplements. However, most of these supplements have failed to deliver the results often promised. Watermelon,--- a popular and delicious fruit consumed a lot during the summer--- on the other hand, has been found to be one fruit that contains a natural supplement that truly helps with weight control. Usually, the best way to lose weight (healthy), is to consume a stringent diet and burn fats in muscles --- which is exactly what watermelon will help you to do.<br />
<br />
<b>Study on Watermelon</b><br />
Based on findings, watermelon aides in the building of lean muscles mass, simply because it helps to increase the body's production of amino acid arginine. It’s believed that when there is an elevation in the level of arginine in the body, this usually promotes the production of nitric oxide.<br />
<br />
Watermelon, allegedly is a very good source of the amino acid citrulline. After it’s eaten, it then goes through a chemical process, first, citrulline is converted inside the body to arginine, another amino acid that has a direct influence on nitric oxide (NO)levels.<br />
<br />
<b>Benefits of Nitric Oxide</b><br />
This gas is known to improve blood circulation; and with an improvement in circulation, muscles tend to experience a better growth and a faster recovery time, simply because nutrients will be transported to the muscles at a much faster rate.<br />
<br />
Nitric oxide works to dilate blood vessels, thus producing the coveted "pump" that generally occurs as a result of lifting weights. In addition, the enlarged size of blood vessels allows nutrients to be delivered to muscle cells that need to be replenished and recovered, more quickly. The citrulline obtained from watermelon can play an important role in triggering this process.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Reap Maximum Benefits of Watermelon</b><br />
According to researchers, because there is an abundance of citrulline found in the rind of watermelon, to experience the maximum benefits of this fruit, it’s best to eat it all the way down to the white, after working out, due to the fact that that’s the moment the body is most deprived of nutrients. This will help to greatly enhance the transportation of protein and other nutrients to your muscle cells.<br />
<br />
Based on one study appearing in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry on “The health benefits of watermelon“, researchers discovered that mice that received watermelon juice supplement gained 30% less weight those that didn’t receive the supplement. The researcher also found watermelon to be among the foods that promote weight loss. Another finding was that animals experiencing diet-induced high cholesterol, when given the juice of watermelon (with no water added), lost more abdominal fat than those who were fed watermelon juice with water.<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusion</b><br />
Although the above finding has revealed some rather convincing benefits that can be obtained from eating watermelon, still, there was no information provided on the amount or daily servings of watermelon that one should consume to gain muscle mass, experience a reduction in abdominal fat or weight loss. However, because watermelon is a healthy fruit, it doesn’t hurt incorporating it in your recommended 5-9 daily servings of fruits and vegetables.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What is Coconut Water</span><br />
Coconut water is a clear liquid found in the fruit's center of young, green coconuts, and should not be confused with coconut milk or oil, which are both high in fat and are both used mostly for cooking. The fact that it's low in calories, naturally fat- and cholesterol free, has more potassium than four bananas, and super hydrating, there is definitely some health benefits to consuming coconut water.<br />
<br />
It's a all-natural way to hydrate, reduce sodium, and add potassium to your diet. Potassium especially, is important for the health of the heart -- it's very important in regulating blood pressure and other body systems.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What Was Discovered About Coconut Water</span><br />
<br />
Studies have shown that disturbance in body water and electrolytes(sodium and potassium) balance can negatively affect cellular as well as systemic function, which may lead to a reduction in the ability of humans to tolerate prolonged exercise. Based on findings, water lost during exercise-induced sweating may result in dehydration of both intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments of the body.<br />
<br />
According to American College of Sports Medicine, even a small amount of dehydration(1% body weight) can increase cardiovascular strain as indicated by a disproportionate elevation of heart rate during exercise, and disrupt the ability of the body to transfer heat from contracting muscles to the skin surface where heat can be dispersed to the environment. Therefore, consequences of body water deficiency can increase the likelihood of impairing exercise performance, success in competitions and may also lead to heat injury.<br />
<br />
Any strenuous physical exercise such as training to increase muscular strength, improve speed or endurance and boost performance, will certainly drain the body of water, electrolytes(sodium and potassium) and minerals(magnesium, calcium, zinc) through sweating, depletes stored sugar or glycogen in muscles, and breaks down muscle. The ability to quickly replenish these nutrients and rebuild muscle is of paramount importance to an individual's ability to train hard on a daily basis and perform well in competitive sports.<br />
<br />
Although sports drink, coconut water, or plain water, all work alike to keep the body hydrated, when you exercise sub-maximally -- contrarily, when individuals exercise strenuously in the heat for more than three hours,they tend to lose a lot more body fluid from sweating. As a result, they are going to need easily absorbed carbohydrates for the return of quick energy and also to replace electrolytes lost, such as sodium and potassium.<br />
<br />
The water that's tapped from the interior of a green coconut is naturally refreshing and contains easily digested carbohydrate in the form of sugar and electrolytes. It's certainly a nutritious and relatively low-income way to add potassium to your diet and keep you well-hydrated.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The American College of Sports Medicine (ASCM) Views On Hydration</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Because sweating during physical activities depletes the body of water and electrolytes(sodium and potassium), and other important minerals, the American College of Sports Medicine(ACSM) advise all individuals to properly hydrate before, during, and after exercising. Although water, and sports drinks are good enough to hydrate individuals exercising sub-maximally. For those who participate in more strenuous exercise may benefit more from the consumption of coconut water.<br />
<br />
In regards to exercising and hydration, the following are just a few of the recommendations of the ACSM:<br />
It is recommended that individuals eat a nutritionally balance diet and drink enough fluids during the 24 hr period before an event, in particularly during the period that includes the meal before exercise, so as to promote proper hydration and allow enough time for the excretion of excess ingested water.<br />
It's recommended that individuals consume about 500ml(approximately 17 ounces) of fluid about 2hrs prior to exercise in order to promote adequate hydration and allow enough time for the excretion of excess ingested water.<br />
<br />
During exercise, athletes should begin drinking early and at regular intervals in an attempt to ingest fluids at a reasonable rate to replace all the water lost through sweating(i.e, body weight loss), or drink the maximal amount that can be tolerated.<br />
<br />

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>All fruits and vegetables should be thoroughly washed, ensuring all pits are removed, before juicing. </li>
<li>Avocados or bananas produces a puree rather than a juice.</li>
<li>All leafy vegetables should be formed or rolled into balls before inserting into food chute of juicer.</li>
<li>One pound of raw vegetable usually produces one 8oz cup of juice.</li>
<li>For a clear juice, you should filter juice through layers of cheesecloth or coffee filter. This will also help to remove foams. Strainer may also be used to further remove pulp and foam.</li>
<li>Adding a few teaspoons of lemon juice or ascorbic acid powder to juices help to prevent discoloration during storage.</li>
<li>It's best to serve juices immediately, as the flavor and nutrient content decreases rapidly when juices are stored for more than 24 hrs. If you have to store any juice for more than 24 hrs cover container tightly and refrigerate. </li>
<li>Flavor, texture, and consistency of freshly juiced fruits will appear different from that of canned juices.</li>
<li>Mixing vegetable juice with carrot juice will produce a sweeter juice flavor.</li>
<li>The softer the texture of a fruit or vegetable, the thicker the juice.</li>
<li>Apricots, peaches, pears, melons, and strawberries produce a very thick juice known as nectar. It is best to combine these juices with thinner juices, such as carrot, apple, and so on.</li>
<li>Beet greens, parsley, spinach, and watercress will produce very rich and thick juices which are also very strong-flavored and taste best when combined with other fruits and vegetables. </li>
</ul>

Exercising regularly and eating right are two of the most important approaches to good health and longevity. Yet,these are the two things we often tend to neglect. I can't help stressing on the importance of fruits and vegetables in our daily diets. <br />
<br />
Due to our busy schedules,most of us can hardly find the time to take care of our bodies. However,no matter how busy we are, we should set aside the time to nurture and preserve our bodies,for these two simple reasons:<br />

Natural juice - fresh fruit juice and vegetable juice, can provide pregnant and pre- menopausal women with the daily recommended supply of folate. The suggested daily intake of folate is also known to prevent heart attacks.<br />
<br />
<b>What is Folate?</b><br />
Folate is a vitamin B. It is recommended that all pre-menopausal women consume at least <br />
400mcg of this vitamin daily. Folate appears to offer protection against colon and cervical cancers and is also believed to help prevent certain birth defects. Based on findings, high intake of folate(400mcg/dly)during pregnancy can prevent serious birth defects. According to experts, women who are planning on becoming pregnant should consider taking a folate supplement. <br />
<br />
It has been said that folate also helps in the prevention of heart attack. High concentrations of a chemical called homocysteine is known to speed up the process of plaque formation (artherosclerosis) in our arteries, accelerating the chances of heart attack. However, an increasing number of studies have shown that taking 400mcg/dly of folate along with vitamins B6 and B12 prevents heart attacks by reducing homocysteine levels in the blood. Usually 5 to 9 daily serving(recommended serving) of fresh fruits and vegetables can supply the body with these nutrients. <br />
<br />
Based on the USDA National Database release 2009, one raw beet contains 89 mcg of folate and one medium carrot contain 12mcg . With this information you can easily supply your body with a percentage of the daily recommended 400mcg of folate by simply consuming a refreshing glass or two of carrot-beet juice each day. The recipe provided below will show you how to prepare a single serving of 6 to 12 ounces of refreshing “carrot-beet delight”.<br />
<b><i><br />
Health Juice- How to Prepare Carrot-Beet Delight</i></b><br />
<b>Carrot-Beet Delight Recipe</b><br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
*2 medium carrots<br />
*1 medium beet<br />
*1medium lemon<br />
*Sugar or fresh honey<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
*Wash beet and carrots thoroughly and remove any visible pits <br />
*Cut carrots and beets into portions that can be easily fed in juice extractor chute<br />
*Remove peel from lemon<br />
*Juice beet first, then carrots and lemon<br />
*Add water to increase portion if needed<br />
*Add sugar or fresh honey to juice<br />
<br />
Additionally, beet also supplies the body with potassium, phosphorous, water, vitamin A, phosphorous and energy. Carrot supplies the body with both beta and alpha carotene, water,vitamin A,ascorbic acid, potassium and other nutrients.shmlmcfrln0@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09415706108592410335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932001263563658324.post-547564388138216432010-09-26T21:16:00.001-07:002021-08-08T14:12:21.894-07:00Health Juice - The Health Benefits of Carrot - Cucumber Juice<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b>Health Benefits of Carrot <b></b></b><br />
Carrot is very rich in beta-carotene and a good source of antioxidants which helps to soak up oxygen free radicals before they can cause damages to cells. Free radicals can cause premature aging and several diseases by attacking and destroying certain lipids and proteins of our cell membrane and DNA.<br />
<br />
Just one medium raw carrot alone will provide the body with 20,255 IU (International Units) of beta-carotene. When you eat carrots the beta-carotene is then converted to vitamin A in your body. Dryness of the skin and damages to the hair and nails may be due to a lack of Vitamin A. Different areas of our bodies will benefit from the daily consumption of carrot juice. Based on findings, the antioxidant properties of carrots help to prevent cancer, and other diseases, by disrupting free radicals.<br />
For decades, carrot has been known to help improve vision due to the conversion of its beta-carotene to vitamin A. If the body is lacking in Vitamin A, this may cause your vision to be poor at night -- commonly known as night blindness. If you are unable to see well at night, this can cause a major problem, especially if you have to do a lot of night driving. An individual can easily detect whether or not he/she has a vitamin A deficiency by simply walking from a well-lit room to a dark or dimly-lit room and observe whether or not the eyes have any major problem adjusting to the change in light.<br />
<br />
<b>Health benefits of Cucumber</b><br />
According to researchers, a compound known as Sterols -- found in the skin of the cucumber, has shown to lower cholesterol in animals. It is also believed to contain other excellent health benefits because of its rich source of vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium and molybdenum. <br />
<br />
The fact that cucumber is very low in both cholesterol and saturated fat, it’s considered an important part of our daily diet. Cucumber has also shown to have a cleansing effect on the bowel and the body’s digestive acid. Based on findings, it also contains other compounds that are very efficacious in treating rheumatoid arthritis.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Make carrot-cucumber Juice</b><br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
*Carrots<br />
*Cucumbers<br />
*Oranges<br />
*Lemons<br />
*Honey<br />
<b>Note:</b> Use the number of carrots and cucumbers that will give you your desired amount of juice. Orange and lemon are used to flavor juice and also help to prevent discoloration of juice during storage. An Eight ounce cup of orange juice and an eight ounce cup of lemon juice will each provide the body with 120mg and 110mg of vitamin C respectively. <br />
<br />
<b>Instructions:</b><br />
*Wash cucumbers and Carrots thoroughly.<br />
*Peel skin from oranges and lemons and cut them into pieces.<br />
*Cut carrots/cucumbers in halves or so that they can be easily fed in the food chute. <br />
*Do not overload the food chute.<br />
*Simply place each piece of carrot/ cucumber/ lemon/lime into the food chute one at a time.<br />
*Gently and slowly press with food pusher to extract the maximum amount of juice.<br />
*If the pulp collector bin gets full before you finish juicing, turn off the unit and empty the bin.<br />
*Replace bin and continue juice extraction until you are done. <br />
*Add water if needed.<br />
*Filter juice through layers of cheesecloth or coffee filter if you desire a clear drink or need to get rid of any foam.<br />
*Sweetened to desire taste with honey.<br />
*Serve over ice or serve chill.<br /><br /></div>shmlmcfrln0@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09415706108592410335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932001263563658324.post-32550623396970965692010-09-25T16:00:00.000-07:002010-09-29T14:35:35.763-07:00Health Juice - Getting StartedObviously, you are going to need a good juice extractor to prepare your fruit and vegetable juice. Juice extractors come in different sizes and are manufactured by several different companies. The sizes and features really depend on whether the appliance is intended for household or commercial purpose. Most juice extractors I have used to prepare my health juice so far,were intended for household use only, so all had certain similar features. See list of common similar features below:<br />
*Food Pusher<br />
*Food Chute<br />
*Cutter/strainer<br />
*Strainer<br />
*Separator<br />
*Pulp Bin<br />
*Juice Spout<br />
*Juice Cup<br />
*Strainer<br />
<br />
Usually the cutter/strainer may need to be replaced after several usage because it's a very delicate screen subjected to wear and tear. It also depends on how frequently you prepare vegetable juice or fruit juice.<br />
<br />
For power, easy usage,and ease of cleaning up after you have finished preparing your vegetable juice recipes or your fruit juice,I strongly recommend a Hamilton Beach Juice Extractor. I personally own one of these juice extractors. I have been using it almost every other day to prepare my health juice for the past few years, and have not experienced any problem with it so far. Furthermore,it comes with 25 fruit drink recipes and lots of instructions on how to use and care for your unit.shmlmcfrln0@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09415706108592410335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932001263563658324.post-24066328132349068652010-09-25T12:09:00.000-07:002010-11-02T18:03:00.526-07:00Healthy Juice - Your Source of Antioxidants to Combat Aging Cancer And Other Diseases<b>Healthy juice</b> such as vegetable juice and fresh fruit juice should be a part of one's daily diet, especially for those who do not consumed enough fruits or vegetables, on a daily basis. Fresh fruits and vegetables are thought to have significant effects due to their antioxidant properties. <br />
<br />
Antioxidants are said to have the ability to thwart several chronic diseases. Vitamin C, E, beta-carotene ( a precursor to vitamin A), and the mineral selenium are antioxidants. Currently, a lot of research are being done to investigate the effects of antioxidants in preventing several chronic diseases. <br />
<br />
Oxygen is used to change carbohydrates and fats into energy, during metabolism. Oxygen is transformed into stable forms of water and carbon dioxide, during this process. However, a small portion of oxygen usually ends up in an unstable form, referred to as oxygen free radicals. <br />
<br />
Free radicals attack and damage proteins and lipids, in particular cell membranes and DNA. This damage is thought to contribute to the development of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, emphysema, cataracts, Parkinson’s disease, and premature aging. Solar radiation, cigarette smoke, radiation and other environmental factors also seem to encourage the formation of free radicals. <br />
<br />
It is believed that antioxidants may offer protection by absorbing free radicals before they can cause any damage to cells. If any damage has already begun, antioxidants may also interrupt the sequence of reactions, preventing certain chronic diseases.<br />
<br />
Antioxidants are found abundantly in food. Fruits and vegetables in particular, provide a very rich source of antioxidants. However, surprisingly only an average of 9% of all Americans eat the minimum five daily serving of fruits and vegetables!<br />
<br />
<b>conclusion</b><br />
For some unknown reasons,approximately 91% of the U.S. population just do not enjoy eating fruits and vegetables. However, one possible solution to this is to encourage them to substitute soda pops and other high caloric value beverages with <b>natural juice</b>. Drinking<b> healthy juice</b> such as fresh fruit juice and <b>vegetable juice</b> could be an ideal substitute for those who do not seem to enjoy eating either of both.shmlmcfrln0@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09415706108592410335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932001263563658324.post-91045854361668305272010-09-24T20:55:00.000-07:002010-09-24T20:55:33.138-07:00Welcome To Macky's Health Juice BlogHi,<br />
