<span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated every year from 1 to 7 August in more than 170 countries to encourage breastfeeding and improve the health of babies around the world. It commemorates the Innocenti Declaration made by WHO and UNICEF policy-makers in August 1990 to protect, promote and support breastfeeding. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">2013 World Breastfeeding Week has just been concluded, but the BIG question is, are the <a href="http://www.worldbreastfeedingweek.org/pdf/wbw2013-calendar-eng.pdf" target="_blank">OBJECTIVES</a> achievable?<noscript>&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;lt;iframe src="http://pn1.adserver.yahoo.com/a?f=1197319238&amp;amp;amp;pn=news&amp;amp;amp;p=gma&amp;amp;amp;l=N&amp;amp;amp;c=r&amp;amp;amp;bg=white" width=728 height=90 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=no&amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;lt;/iframe&amp;amp;gt; </noscript> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In the spirit of Breastfeeding support, an independent survey was carried out in FCT-Abuja <noscript>&amp;amp;lt;iframe src="http://2912a.v.fwmrm.net/ad/g/1?nw=168234&amp;amp;amp;csid=2145689625&amp;amp;amp;pvrn=1376066472.404177&amp;amp;amp;resp=ad;;ptgt=s&amp;amp;amp;envp=g_iframe&amp;amp;amp;slid=leaderboard&amp;amp;amp;slau=Leaderboard%20728x90&amp;amp;amp;w=728&amp;amp;amp;h=90" width="728" height="90" /&amp;amp;g</noscript><!--QYZ 1532845051,2900793051,10.207.7.160;;N;2145689530;1;-->by Nutrition Alert to ascertain how much support/encouragement mothers are getting. Over 90% of the mothers involved in this survey are working mothers in private organizations. The survey findings showed that many mothers are indeed aware of the benefits of breastfeeding their children, and a majority would want to breastfeed exclusively if they had the support of their employers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It was alarming to discover that a lot of the mothers in the survey resumed work only 6 weeks after delivery and had to rely on infant formulas because their work places are not friendly for babies and their schedule does not allow time for them to express breast milk and they do not get adequate rest to enable lactation.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The sharp decline in breastfeeding rates, and practices in
the weeks following delivery, particularly exclusive breastfeeding is not only as
a result of lack of support from the home or the community. When a mother is a
sole or a joint bread winner, support from only the home and community is not
enough. Policies that will force employers to support breastfeeding mothers too
are mostly need. When they are lacking, formulas becomes the mother’s closest ally
and exclusive breastfeeding will be just a dream.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As written by <a href="http://www.enyekwesclinic.blogspot.com/">Guest Blogger Enyekwe chikelue Enyekwe of Enyekwe’s Clinic</a></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The
bone is a very essential component of the skeletal system, and plays an
essential role in support, protection of the body vital organs, movement,
production of body blood cells and mineral storage. For the bone to be able to perform
these above functions it has to posses the following characteristics; it have
to be light for the body to be able to carry it along in movement, be strong to
support and protect the body and above all be healthy.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">To
maintain a healthy, strong and light bone the first thing that comes to mind is
“diet”, yes the food you eat have a great way of controlling the general look
and function of your bone. </span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Whether

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Excessive
intake of protein can be a don’t, protein especially red meats are known to
produce sulfates which can displace calcium in the bone and cause a decrease of
bone density <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Excessive
intake of Table salts and all sodium containing foods is not advocated for, for
they can indirectly reduce bone calcium<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Excessive
intake of caffeine is known to reduce calcium absorption, so mind your intake
of energy drinks and coffees<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Excessive
alcohol intake affects vitamin D and calcium absorption<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Excess

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></b><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Eat
food rich in calcium example green leafy vegetable, milk (not in excess)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Eat
foods rich in vitamin k examples; spinach, onions, cabbage, mustard greens,
lettuce etc<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Go

from: cod liver oil, mushrooms, sardines etc<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">A
diet rich in magnesium is also advocated for, magnesium can be found in
broccoli, raw plantain, peanuts, spinach etc<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">A
good diet of potassium is also needed to retain calcium in the body; this potassium
can be derived from foods like avocado peers, apricots, cocoa powder, seeds of
pumpkin and sunflower.<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></b><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">A

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">A
recent blog comment on my post on breastfeeding called my attention to a prior
encounter with a mother who refuses to breastfeed her child exclusively for the
first 6 months of life because she believed that it was the reason why her
older kids turned out to be picky eaters. <a href="http://news.illinois.edu/news/12/0308breastfeeding_JuheeKim.html">The truth is that breastfed babiesare less likely to be picky eaters as toddlers.</a></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Here
is the blog comment.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; line-height: 115%;"><o:p><em><span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hi,<br />I love this infomation on breastfeeding. I am having difficulty in
getting my 7 month old accept other foods apart from breast milk. Someone told
me that its common with babies that are exclusively breastfed for 6months.Do you
have any suggestions that will help?<br /><br />Efe.</span></em></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Transiting
from exclusive breastfeeding to family foods is usually tasking for many
parents. Knowing that the period from 6 to 24 months of age is a vulnerable
period and it is the time when malnutrition starts in many children. The parent
worries not just about food allergies and the nutritional adequacy of the
complementary food, but also how to get the little one who has been used to
taking just breast milk to accepting complementary foods.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">One
of the first strategies to apply is patience. Patience indeed is a virtue and
every parent should get some of it. Give the child time to adapt to the change.
Ever wondered why babies scratch their ears and raise their leg when they suck
the breast? Perhaps it’s because breast milk is sweet and they love it. So when
introducing that cereal or pureed food, please be patient, babies are humans
too. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Differentiate
between discomforts and child’s hunger cues. Apart from hunger, children also
cry when their diaper is soiled and for several other reasons. Your child will
not likely accept food when he or she is not hungry.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Go
easy on heavily spiced meals and consider the texture of meals. It is important
that after months of having only breast milk, the first food you offer your
baby is smooth and soft in texture and not lumpy, so that it is easy to digest.
The food should have a bland taste and be unlikely to provoke an allergic
reaction. An example of an ideal baby food that meets this quality is baby’s
rice mixed with either breast milk or baby formula.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Your
baby may not be developing in the same pace with other babies of the same age,
watch out for signs of solid food readiness in your child. Such signs may
include; your baby having good head control, reaching out for other people’s
food and a reduction in tongue-thrusting reflex. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The
feeding environment is important. Avoid distractions and also ensure that the
child too is not distracted by things like toys.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Introduce
one new food at a time. This helps the child to slowly become accustomed to
eating adult-type foods and familiarizes with a wide range of textures and
tastes. More so, it makes it easy to determine the exact food that the child
may be allergic to.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Avoid
force-feeding. This can lead to chocking and in many cases, the child grow up
having a dislike for that particular food. Feeding young infants requires active
care and stimulation. Do not forget to be responsive to the child’s cues.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Finally,
ensure that these foods complement rather than replace breast milk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Breast milk continues to be an important
source of energy, protein and micronutrients. Consider improving the quality of
the home food as this will reflect in the quality of the food offered to the
child.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As
a child, I once watched my cat gave birth to her six kittens in an empty cardboard
box. After cleaning them up with her tongue, she lay down and breastfed the six
of them. This she continued for days until they were able to join her in
feeding from her daily spoils.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">When
I gave birth to my babies, like I did to an 8.4 pounds baby boy three months
ago, breastfeeding just feels like the right thing to do even without
considering the benefits of breastfeeding. Making a decision to breastfeed or
formula feed your baby is a personal one, but we already know that the benefits
of one outweigh the other. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like grandma
would ask, ’why give the food made for a cow to a human?’<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The
World Health Organization (WHO) recommended breastfeeding as best for babies
for its defense against infections, prevent allergies and protect against a
number of chronic conditions.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Often
called the ‘perfect food’ for baby’s digestive system, breast milk contents are
easily digested by the newborn’s immature digestive system therefore breastfed
babies have fewer incidences of diarrhea or constipation. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Rich
in many of the vitamins and minerals that a newborn needs, many of which
commercial formula companies can not exactly duplicate, breast milk provides
perfect nourishment for babies and great is the bonding experience between the
breastfed baby and the mother.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Breastfeeding
is not only cheap, many researches has found that breastfeeding protects babies
from infections and frequent hospitalizations than formula fed babies. Imagine not
having to take frequent permission from work to take a sick child to the
hospital and also having to save the money that would have been used for
hospital bills.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The
benefits of breastfeeding your babies far overshadows any challenges you may
have doing it. <a href="http://infantnutritioncouncil.com/breastfeeding/">http://infantnutritioncouncil.com/breastfeeding/</a></span></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Let the only reason for not breastfeeding be a specific medical
condition that the mother might have.</span></b></div>

While none of those are necessarily bad motives, they do tend to neglect some of the bigger more pressing reasons to eat right. As scientist and researchers are discovering more and more information on dieting and food intake, we are beginning to learn one very important truth: what you eat plays a huge role in whether or not you will get cancer. <o:p></o:p></strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Among the leading causes of death in the country (alongside heart disease, another issue caused by diet), cancer likelihood can be either reduced or increased depending on one’s diet. Studies show that the best foods for limiting cancer and cancer development are those foods which are most natural. Organic foods and foods that do not have unnatural additives are best. This is because the chemicals used to treat food often have carcinogens which can get in the body and disrupt the cell division process. When this happens it leaves the body open to a number of different cancers including </strong><a href="http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/278744-overview"><span style="color: blue;"><strong>gastric cancer</strong></span></a><strong> and </strong></span><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mesotheliomasymptoms.com%2Fpleural-mesothelioma&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNH-7E4bQfrzYqAyXSHtc_q57EShoA"><span style="color: blue;"><strong>pleural mesothelioma</strong></span></a></span><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><strong>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Limiting red meat is also essential because red meat carries with it a high percentage of animal fat.

Once it occurs we are given to do whatever that is possible to regain what we lost. If we can focus on prevention in our homes, schools, media and at all places, we would be able to redu</span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">ce pain and suffering and reduce the huge amount of money spent on health care.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><br />

The fact that your grandparents and great grand parents lived above 90 is not a surety that you will live up to 90 due to a possible gene that enables longevity. How long you live is your responsibility, it starts by making the right choices, the right choices in your diet. Chinese medicine teaches that our blood begins at the end of our fork: we are what we eat.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Change the quality of what you eat to a low fat diet. Fat has been severely accused of being responsible for the wave of different cancers ravaging our societies. This can be further proven in cultures where a low fat and a high<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>fiber diet are consumed with decreased incidence of many cancers. Go for the leanest meat cuts you can get, and make fish, turkey and chicken your source of non vegetable protein.<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />

CAN I EAT TO SHRINK MY FIBROID?<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">This morning, a client asked me to proffer a dietary solution for her uterine fibroid condition, perhaps a non-surgical solution. Her doctor had recommended surgery for the 7cm fibroid tumor, but she is scared and thinks that surgical intervention is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not her portion</i>. (Nigerians always say that, maybe some).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">My response to her was not totally discouraging judging by the look on her face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did not offer any non-surgical solution but rather encouraged her to consider her doctor’s opinion not without letting her know how a change in diet can help her to treat her symptoms and also to improve the fibroid condition in the form of shrinking it or reducing the size of the fibroid.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">What Are These Diet Changes?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">1. Increasing the intake of soy products and flaxseeds. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Why?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Both contain phytoestrogens which help to properly regulate the body’s estrogen production. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It is common knowledge that estrogen fuels fibroid growth, so why recommend soy products? Soy is rich in natural estrogens that are much weaker than synthetic estrogens; they bind to the estrogen receptors on the fibroid tumors, thereby preventing the estrogen naturally found in your body from attaching itself to the receptors. So consuming soy prevents the bodily form of estrogen from fueling the growth of the tumors. So select natural soy foods rather than the genetically modified ones or even the supplements. You can take soy milk in place of whole or low fat milks.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">2. In addition to soy products, eating plenty of high fiber foods. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Why?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">This keeps constipation away. Constipation increases fibroid symptoms and can worsen pain and pressure. Foods rich in fiber include, whole grains like cereals, oats, millet. Green leafy vegetables like spinach etc.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">*** Fiber can also help in removing excess estrogens from the body.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">3. Eating omega 3 fatty acid rich foods like salmon, mackerel, tuna etc. They can help to reduce inflammation and fibroid growth.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">4. Iron rich foods come in very handy for women who suffer prolonged or heavy periods due to fibroids. This helps them to ward off anemia.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">5. Eating more vitamin k rich foods to encourage blood clotting and help reduce excessive menstrual flow. Leafy green vegetables like lettuce, spinach, celery, okra, cabbage, and fruits like cucumber, kiwi, avocado and plum are rich sources.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">6. Avoiding or cutting back on foods that contain non plant source estrogen. Such foods include red meat, dairy and eggs. Also avoid refined carbohydrates such as white flour and sugar.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">7. Increasing your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables to keep estrogen levels at an all-time low. Plant based diet create a more alkaline body and thwarts fibroid growth. In other words, when the body is acidic, fibroid growth is enhanced.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">8. <a href="http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/foods-that-detox-the-body/">Detoxifying foods</a> and pears (rich in phytonutrient) to reduce/shrink fibroid tumors.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond", "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Diet changes are to be made not only in the face of a challenging health concern.

For my new friend Ayo (not his real name), sleeping under treated mosquito nets is less fun because the length of his bed can not accommodate his towering height.<span> </span>Most nights he had to keep vigil on the mosquitoes, killing them with his high priced insect swat, his bare hands or whatever that could help him do the job. Despite his night time wars against the mosquitoes, he constantly went down with malaria which was most of the times accompanied by flu. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Recently, my new friend testified that the frequency of his malaria bouts reduced when he made some changes in his diet. He did not develop an anti-malaria diet; neither did the mosquitoes become extinct. He realized the weakening effect of his diet and lifestyle on his immune system.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">An army of millions of microscopic soldiers operates within every one of us, each one ready to jump into battle against invading parasites and to carry out the duty of protecting us against diseases. How we feed these soldiers has a great influence on how well they protect us from diseases. On a poor diet, the immune system can not perform at its peak. Certain foods can keep the immune system army from doing a good job. Watch out!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">The Offenders</span></i><span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span> </span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><i><u><b>Too much sugar</b></u></i>. Overdosing on sugar can reduce the ability of white blood cells to kill germs. This includes table sugars and those in carbonated drinks and simple carbohydrates. In contrast, complex carbohydrates do not suppress or have a weakening effect on the immune system. Remember this tip the next time you grab a can of soft drink.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><u><i><b>Too much fat.</b></i></u> We already know that eating too much fat can lead to obesity which on its own can lead to a depressed and lazy immune system. This is another reason to lose weight if you are already overweight.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><u><i><b>Too much alcohol</b></i></u>. Excessive alcohol intake does not only lead to nutritional deficiency, it deprives the body of valuable immune-boosting nutrients. Just like sugar, it can reduce the ability of the white cells to multiply, fight or kill germs.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Finally, what foods are you allergic to? Your immune army recognizes these otherwise harmless foods as a forein invader and attacks it. This is the reason for allergic reactions. Several encounters with food allergens can cause the walls of the intestine to damage, thereby making it easy for other toxic substances to get into the blood stream. This can lead to illness.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The aging process may vary in individuals, some may age faster then others due to some factors, but the end result is, everyone will surely get to it some day.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Eat fiber rich foods.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> It is common knowledge that chronic constipation as well as foods rich in starches, sugar and unhealthy fats can trigger pimples.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Soy milk is better</span></b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">. Studies have shown a correlation between milk and acne. It contains hormones that are inflammatory, stimulate oil glands, and lead to clogged pores.

Yes! They are loaded with a lot of vitamins and nutrients, but the question is, do you benefit from them all? Just like you wear your pants correctly, you also need to eat your fruits in the right way so as to get maximum benefits from them. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Natural Hygienists have known for a long time that fruits do not combine well with other foods. This simply tells us that they need to be treated specially. Unlike other foods, fruits do not stay long in the stomach; they contain simple sugars that require no digestion. Hence, if you eat fruit after a meal, the fruit sugar will stay for too long in the stomach and ferment. This is one of the reasons for digestive problem and subsequent hatred for certain fruits. Now see how and when to eat the fruits.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><ul><li><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Eat fruits alone with no other foods.</span></li>
</ul><ul><li><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Eat fruits in an empty stomach, or at least 15-20minutes to 1 hour before the main meal.</span></li>
</ul><ul><li><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Do not mix acid fruits with sweet fruits. For example, do not mix pineapple or grapefruit with banana.</span></li>
</ul><ul><li><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Eat Melons alone, especially if you have a history of digestive problems. Melons are 90 percent liquid and leave the stomach quickly if not delayed and fermented by combining with other foods.</span></li>
</ul><ul><li><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Do not combine fruits with any vegetables except lettuce and celery</span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Note please: Respect these tips even if your life of imprudent eating defy all <a href="http://www.rawfoodexplained.com/digestive-physiology-and-food-combining/food-combining-rules.html">food combining</a> rules.</span></div>nutritionalerthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05134053161602006757noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5743417606725614264.post-81920288504186015692011-04-01T07:50:00.000-07:002011-04-01T07:50:02.658-07:00The difference between "sugar free" and "sugar added" revealedSOURCE ~<a href="http://www.americandiabeteswholesale.com/"><span>American Diabetes Wholesale</span></a><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sugar free items or no sugar added items remove the processed sugar (sugar, corn syrup, brown rice syrup, molasses, etc.) and replace it will a slower digesting carbohydrate known as “sugar alcohol”. Some familiar names of sugar alcohols are sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol and lactitol. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Most of them end in “ol” just like alcohol. These sugar alcohols will still have an impact on your blood sugar, however, because they digest more slowly you may see less of a spike. The “regular” cookie has sugar and flour, etc. and the sugar free cookie will have sugar alcohol, flour, etc. Sugar alcohol is not as sweet as sugar, therefore, artificial sweeteners are used to enhance the sweetness.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s important to remember that there is an affect on your glucose levels from these foods so please discourage yourself from overeating them. Many of us forget that “free” may not mean “free of everything”! There are still calories (and the majority of us do not need the encouragement to eat more. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“No sugar added” foods just means the sugar is replaced with sugar alcohol but the product contains a natural sugar (fruit sugar or fructose or milk sugar or lactose) so it cannot be called sugar free. When you shop for cookies, candy or ice cream that is “sugar free or no sugar added” please be careful to read the label and look at the total carbohydrates. Then remind yourself that it still turns into sugar and not to overeat! If you are not convinced of it’s affect on your glucose levels, then simply check your blood sugar before and 2 hours after your meal. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Do this with the “real” cookie and the “sugar free” cookie. Notice the difference and make your informed decision. Diabetes is a very individualized disease which is why testing blood glucose levels is encouraged. You may find that you like the taste of regular jam as opposed to sugar free jam – so you can use 1 teaspoon instead of 1 tablespoon of it. However, if you like adding a bit more jam to your food then you may benefit from using the sugar free jam since there are fewer total carbohydrates in it. You have choices. Make the right one for you.</span><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Rachael and her friend Dona (not their real names) stepped into the usually crowded elevator in their office complex and immediately noticed two people coughing and sneezing seriously.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Within a couple of days Dona come down with a bad cold and blames it on that elevator ride. Yet her friend Rachael, exposed to the same germs at the same time remains perfectly healthy.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">What made the difference? The power of the immune system.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The immune system is the body’s defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organism and substances that invade body systems and cause disease. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">It is a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body. The cells involved are white blood cells, or leukocytes, which come in two basic types that combine to seek out and destroy disease-causing organisms or substances. This network helps us avoid illness or sometimes become the underlying reason why we get sick.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Yes! The strength of our immune system is what makes the difference between who gets sick and who doesn’t. When we feed our immune system well, we boost its fighting ability by increasing the number of white blood cells in the immune system army, train them to fight better and help them develop an overall better battle plan. Here are some tips to help you eat better and make your immune system healthier.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><ul><li><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Eat a Variety of Food Colors </span></b></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The substance that gives fruits and vegetables their color is called phytochemicals. They are plant chemicals that have protective or disease preventive properties. There are more than a thousand known phytochemicals. Some of the well-known phytochemicals are lycopene in tomatoes, isoflavones in soy and flavanoids in fruits.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Most phytochemicals have antioxidant activity and protect our cells against oxidative damage and reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer. Phytochemicals with antioxidant activity: allyl sulfides (onions, leeks, garlic), carotenoids (fruits, carrots), flavonoids (fruits, vegetables), polyphenols (tea, grapes). <span> </span>Indoles, which are found in cabbages, stimulate enzymes that make the estrogen less effective and could reduce the risk for breast cancer. Other phytochemicals, which interfere with enzymes, are protease inhibitors (soy and beans), terpenes (citrus fruits and cherries). The list can go on and on! Eat variety of colorful foods and give your immune system the right kick.</span></div><ul><li><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Choose Foods High In Antioxidants</span></b></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Antioxidants are phytochemicals, vitamins and other nutrients that protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free Radicals however, are oxygen molecules with an abnormal electron. They are thought to be associated with the development of cancer and heart disease, perhaps other diseases as well. By the way, trans-fatty acids, a process to turn an oil (liquid) to a fat (solid) to delay rancidity also acts the same way, which is why trans-fatty acids (partially hydrogenated oils) should be avoided at all costs. Antioxidants come to the rescue by destroying Free Radicals. The four major antioxidants are: <b>Beta Carotene</b> (a precursor to Vitamin A) <b>Vitamin C,</b> <b>Vitamin E</b>, and the mineral, <b>Selenium</b>. Antioxidants are found largely in fruits and vegetables. Note that you are not going to find these in processed foods, junk foods, or fast foods.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Common sense would dictate that if we don’t consume these in our foods, we are going to have problems with cell integrity and overall all immune response to attackers. This can and most likely will lead to disease and illness.</span></div><ul><li><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Eat foods rich in Zinc.</span></b></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">This valuable mineral increases the production of white blood cells that fight infection and helps them fight more aggressively. It also increases killer cells that fight against cancer and helps white cells release more antibodies. Zinc supplements have been shown to slow the growth of cancer. Zinc increases the number of infection-fighting T-cells, especially in elderly people who are often deficient in zinc, and whose immune system often weakens with age. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">A word of caution: too much zinc in the form of supplements (more than 75 milligrams a day) can inhibit immune function. It's safest to stick to getting zinc from your diet. Food sources include; oysters, beef, turkey, crab and beans. The best source of zinc for infants and young children is zinc-fortified cereals. </span></div><ul><li><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Drink Filtered Water (eight 8oz glasses/day)</span></b></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Many beverages we do drink (coffee, tea, sodas, etc.) act as diuretics, meaning they increase urination, thus tipping the scales toward dehydration. Various studies show that our water supply is not as clean as we would like to believe. Traces of antibiotics and chemicals from agricultural run-off are most times evident, the popular Naija pure water is not a small suspect (am sure you will agree with me if you‘ve had a taste).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It is in everyone’s best interest to install a water filter system in your home to be used for all drinking water (and cooking). Remember to replace the filter once a year (or as often as needed). </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">When water intake is too low, a toxic buildup of ammonia, urea, uric acid, and other substances will begin to accumulate in the body.<a href="http://t.co/3ikiy9i">( Click here to read more)</a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><ul><li><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Reduce Your Caffeine Consumption</span></b></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Reduce your Caffeine consumption from all the sources it’s found in. it can interfere in the normal functioning of various body processes.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">By the way, “decaf” is not the same thing as “caffeine-free.” Decaf merely means <i>less</i> caffeine than regular caffeine. </span></div><ul><li><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Add Omega 3 Oils To Your Daily Diet</span></b></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Sources of Omega 3’s include cold-water fish (e.g. Salmon, Tuna, and Mackerel) flax seed oil, walnuts, and a few other foods. They act as immune boosters by increasing the activity of phagocytes, the white blood cells that fight bacteria</span></div><ul><li><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Stick to good food preparation.</span></b></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Good nutrition is not just about eating the right kind of foods, the way you handle, cook or prepare the food is as important. For example, if you throw some vegetables in a pot of water to cook, the water soluble vitamins will leach out into the water. So will some minerals.

It is now common to find a person living with diabetes in at least every two families; obesity has become a common sight in our society so diabetes and other chronic diseases thrive. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Eating right for diabetes comes down to three things: </span></div><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 16pt;">What you eat. </span></b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Your diet makes a huge difference! You should eat mostly plant foods, cut back on refined carbohydrates and sugary drinks, and choose healthy fats over unhealthy fats. Focus on whole grain carbohydrates since they are a good source of fiber and they are digested slowly, keeping blood sugar levels more even. Whole grain carbohydrates include oat meal, whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole wheat pasta etc.</span></li>

Therefore, establish regular eating habits. Your body is better able to regulate blood sugar levels and your weight when you maintain a regular meal schedule. The following tips will help you,</span></li>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 16pt;">- Eat small meals at regular times. It is helpful to eat 3 small meals plus 3 snacks spread out through the day. People tend to eat larger portions when they are overly hungry, so eating regularly will help you keep your portions in check. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 16pt;">- Listen to your body and know when you’ve had enough to eat.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 16pt;">How much you eat. </span></b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Portion sizes matter. Even if you eat very healthy meals, if you eat too much you will gain weight, which is a factor in diabetes.<b> The key is to eat a balanced diet.</b> Make 50% of the meal in your plate vegetables and then the remaining 50% protein and carbohydrate<b> Start your meals with vegetables</b>, which will help fill you up and give you lots of nutrients.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 16pt;">You do not need to eat special foods, but instead simply emphasize vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. A diabetes diet is simply a healthy eating plan that is high in nutrients, low in fat, and moderate in calories. It is a healthy diet for anyone!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
