Even if you’ve never heard of the word “turmeric” you’ve more than likely have come into contact with it at one time or another. How? If you’ve ever dropped mustard on your clothes and later found it an absolute pain to remove in the washing machine that is due to the presence of turmeric in the mustard. But this isn’t all that turmeric is known for. In India, turmeric is a celebrity and many others are starting to realize its health benefits as well.

Unbeknownst to most nutritionists on the planet, your average Joe does not enjoy tofu. Or boiled chicken. Or mixed leafy greens. These foods, while healthy choices, are also bland choices that don’t taste like anything we enjoy in “real life.” So when a diet suggests a dinner of beans and one cup steamed rice, most of us say forget about it and order a pizza. Unfortunately for us, those pizzas add up over time… Eventually we need to take a look at what we eat and how we eat it. If you’re reading this article, you probably have already acknowledged the fact that you sometimes (or maybe even often) make poor eating choices. If you haven’t come to grips with this reality, please do so now.

It would be nice – and convenient if we got all the vitamins we needed for optimal health simply from eating. Even the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) levels prescribed for vitamins are not designed for maintaining optimal health. So, to keep our bodies and minds in tip-top shape, which vitamins should we take and how much should we have? Nutritional supplements from capsules can be better absorbed by the body than the same nutrients from food. That makes a multi-vitamin a great addition to a healthy diet. Many multi-vitamins are pre-packaged, with the ingredients and dosage already determined. But it is important for you to determine what supplements you need and how much is a healthy amount for you. Some professionals consider the RDA to just maintain the basic requirements of vitamins needed and recommend taking beyond the daily allowance. Before doing so, consult your physician.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is essential to proper brain function. Without it our brain is unable to grow and learn as it should. Although our bodies naturally produce small amounts of DHA, but we need to supplement our intake with cold water fatty fish like salmon and tuna, fish oil supplements or, for the vegetarians, seaweed. But does eating a diet rich in DHA really make us smarter or keep us more alert?

We all love food but unfortunately, our bodies don’t always turn out for the best physically because of it.

Imagine an eating plan that allows you lose weight by eating your favorite foods such as pasta, bread and dessert in one day but the next day you subside on weight-loss drinks, weight loss bars and decaf tea. This is a brief summery of the latest eating plan called alternate day fasting (ADF), which allows the individual to alternate eating patterns by “feasting one day, but fasting the next day” Unlike popular dieting methods such as the Atkins or South Beach Diet, there are no restrictions on a feast day with ADF: carbohydrates, proteins and fats are allowed, but on a fast day, calorie intake should reduce by almost 50%.
