The Reasons to Love Red Cabbage!

Red cabbage has 10 times more vitamin A than green cabbage but green cabbage has the upper hand when it comes to vitamin K, but they’re both good sources.

The rich red color of red cabbage is due to its concentration of anthocyanin polyphenols. These flavonoids are said to act as an anti-inflammatory, and play a therapeutic roles in a number of human diseases.

Vitamins:


Red cabbage is packed also with fiber, vitamin K, vitamin B6, potassium and manganese, and also contains thiamine, riboflavin, foliate, calcium, iron, and magnesium. Red cabbage is also a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals. A cup of cooked red cabbage will satisfy 85 percent of your daily vitamin C.


Antioxidants:


Researchers found that red cabbage was one effective treatment for diabetes in rats; more research is necessary to see if the same effect would apply to humans. With the highest antioxidant content include red cabbage, Even if you cook red cabbage, you can still get those disease-fighting benefits. Cooking generally increased levels of antioxidants among select vegetables. The color of red cabbage is a giveaway as to what's inside -- other antioxidant-rich foods include red grapes, dark berries and plums.


Considerations


Red cabbage has powerful nutritional properties that can help improve your health and may have the capacity to treat or prevent disease, but it's also important to rely on the other vitamins and minerals that a balanced diet provides. In addition to eating cabbage, have regular servings of other vegetables, fruits, grains, lean proteins and low-fat or nonfat dairy products to fulfill all of your nutritional requirements and stay in the best shape possible.


Cancer Prevention


Red cabbage belongs to the cruciferous, or Brassica, family that includes broccoli, turnips and Brussels sprouts. Cruciferous vegetables are the only source of sulfur-containing compounds called glucosinolates that are responsible for their bitter flavor. Glucosinolates are digested into isothiocyanates that reduce inflammation and fight bacteria. The red pigment comes from a flavonoid, cyanidin, that functions as an antioxidant. Both cyanidin and the isothiocyanates prevent some types of cancer by stopping the growth of cancer cells, inhibiting enzymes that activate carcinogens and helping cells repair damage caused by carcinogens. In April 2012, Vanderbilt University Medical Center released research results showing that breast cancer survivors who ate more cruciferous vegetables reduced their risk of dying by 62 percent.

Treat peptic ulcersCabbage is one of the best natural remedies for stomach ulcers (called peptic ulcers). A study at the Stanford University School of Medicine found that fresh cabbage juice is very effective in treating peptic ulcers. The anti-ulcer properties of cabbage are due to the high glutamine content in it.

Anti-inflammatory propertiesCabbage is good source of the amino acid glutamine and is believed to help those who are suffering from any type of inflammation.

Weight loss dietCabbage is a great diet choice for those who are looking for lose weight. One cup of cooked cabbage contains just only 33 calories. That’s why people who are on the cabbage soup diet can eat endless amounts of the soup without gaining weight, while still staying healthy.

Reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s diseaseRecent research has shown that eating red cabbage may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Red cabbage contains vitamin K and anthocyanin, an antioxidant to help reduces plaque on the brain, thus can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

Skin caresThe antioxidants in cabbage help protect the skin from free radical damage known to cause signs of aging.

Relieve muscle sorenessCabbage contains lactic acid which known to help relieve muscles soreness.

To obtain the most health benefits of cabbage, avoid overcooking cabbage since it decreases its nutritional value especially vitamin C and the remaining nutrients will become more difficult to be digested. Cabbage can be eaten in various ways such as boiled, steamed, sauted, stir-fried or even roasted. But cabbage is most nutritious when eaten raw. Add sliced or grated raw leaves in vegetable salad for more taste.



Juicing with red cabbage:


Red Cabbage is an affordable vegetable that has a great amount of water, which means it’s perfect for juicing! Just like its red friend the beet, its best consumed on an empty stomach and is more easily digested raw vs. cooked.


Red Cabbage counts as a “green” for your green juice!


Our daily green juice does our body good, so it’s nice to know that red cabbage gives us the benefits of the “green” in addition to the “red”. It has a slightly bitter/earthy taste, so it’s best paired with a sweet companion, like carrots or an apple.

فيديو: لقاء باسم يوسف على قناة فرانس 24






في حوار أجرته قناة "فرانس 24" مع الإعلامي الساخر باسم يوسف، بعد تصنيفه ضمن قائمة أكثر 100 شخصية مؤثرة في العالم، صحح الإعلامي الساخر لمذيع القناة ما قاله عن تركيز سخريته على الإسلام والرئيس مرسي بقوله " أنا لا أسخر من الإسلام لأنني مسلم، بل أسخر من هؤلاء الذين يؤذونه ويشوهون صورته".


وتابع يوسف حديثه مع القناة الفرنسية قائلاً إنه لاينتقد الرئيس مرسي لذاته، بل لكونه في السلطة، وأشار إلى أنه كان ينتقد ويسخر من المجلس العسكري الذي تولى السلطة في مصر عقب الإطاحة بالرئيس حسني مبارك.


وسأله "دوجلاس هيربارت" عن استجوابه أمام القضاء والتحريات التي تجرى عنه الآن قائلاً "ألم يتعهد الرئيس مرسي بضمان حرية التعبير"، رد عليه باسم يوسف "هذه لعبة قديمة تعودنا عليها من أيام مبارك، فالرئيس لم يتقدم بالبلاغ بنفسه، لكنه مسؤول عن خلق هذا الجو المشحون الذي يسمح بمقاضاة الإعلاميين".


ونفى يوسف أن يكون هناك حراس شخصيين له، وقال إنه حينما يجد الناس شخصاً مخلصا لهم، ويقدم لهم عملاً جيداً عالي الجودة يقومون هم بحمايته.


وحينما سأله دوجلاس عما إذا كان الرئيس مرسي يغضب من سخريته منه، قال باسم إنه لايعرف إذا كان الرئيس مرسي يشاهد برنامجه أم لا، وتابع قائلاً "ربما يشاهد برنامجي ويضحك في السر، مثل الكثير من السلفيين والإسلاميين الذين يشاهدون البرنامج في منازلهم ولا يتكلمون عنه في العلن".


ويذكر أن الإعلام الأمريكي الساخر جون ستيوارت سيستضيف باسم يوسف الأربعاء المقبل في برنامجه "ديلي شو" بمناسبه تصنيفه ضمن أكثر 100 شخصية مؤثرة في العالم.

7353-olive-oil

Olive oil is pressed from olives, which are mainly grown in the Mediterranean area. The oil is widely used throughout the world in cooking and baking, soaps and cosmetics, as well as in prescription drugs. Olive oil is available in several different grades, such as extra-virgin, virgin, pure, as well as refined olive oil.


Cold pressed extra-virgin olive oil is the healthiest, because it comes from the first pressing and is darker in color. The darker oils naturally are more expensive, but the benefits associated with them are well worth the extra price.

وعود محمد مرسي قبل الرئاسة - نجاح أم فشل؟

في مقال للرئيس المصري الحالي محمد مرسي  قبل أكثر من عام وقبل توليه الرئاسة ، تناول فيه رؤية حزب الحرية والعدالة - الذراع السياسية للإخوان المسلمين - والذي كان يترأسه في ذلك الوقت ، وتكلم في المقال عن اثني عشر قضية تؤرق بال المصريين وذكر أن الحزب لديه تصورات موضوعية لحل هذه  المشكلات .. فهل حقق الحزب الحاكم ما وعد به الشعب المصري ؟! أم أنه وعد بأكثر مما يستطيع تحقيقه؟ والآن مع المقال:

Why Whole Milk is the Healthiest Choice?



I drink whole milk and eat full-fat yogurt, cream cheese, and sour cream. Sure, full-fat dairy products taste better than the skim/fat-free versions, but I don’t eat them for the taste. I eat full-fat dairy because it’s better for my health and my weight.

Yep, you heard me right: I eat dairy products with all the fat god gave ‘em, and I do it because it’s good for me.

Here’s why:

1. Our bodies cannot digest the protein or absorb the calcium from milk without the fat.

2. Vitamins A and D are also fat-soluble. So you can’t absorb them from milk when all the fat has been skimmed off. (This makes fortified skim milk the biggest sham of all — you can pump fat-free milk full of a year’s supply of vitamins A and D, but the body can’t access them).

3. Milk fat contains glycosphingolipids, types of fats linked to immune system health and cell metabolism.

Seasame Oil


Sesame oil has been used for centuries in Asian cuisine. It has also been commonly used for medicinal purposes, especially in Ayurvedic medicine.

The Powerful Health Benefits of the Pomegranate!

pomegranteOne of the oldest known fruits, found in writings and artifacts of many cultures and religions, the pomegranate (punica granatum) is an original native of Persia. This nutrient dense, antioxidant rich fruit has been revered as a symbol of health, fertility and eternal life.

If you're not familiar with the pomegranate, it is a red fruit with a tough outer layer; only the juice and the seeds inside are edible. Pomegranate juice is available year round, but you can purchase fresh pomegranates in most grocery stores from September through January. When refrigerated in a plastic bag, pomegranates keep for up to 2 months. Try tossing the seeds on a salad for a brilliantly colorful, crunchy, and nutritious addition.

Seeding a pomegranate may seem like a lot of work for just a piece of fruit but think again. getting at those seeds may be well worth it. The pomegranate is a nutrient dense food source rich in phytochemical compounds. Pomegranates contain high levels of flavonoids and polyphenols, potent antioxidants offering protection against heart disease and cancer. A glass of pomegranate juice has more antioxidants than  green tea, blueberries, and cranberries.

Amazing Clinical Results
This fantastic little fruit recently made its way back into the news after some spectacular clinical results. Here's what you need to know:

The New Dirty Dozen: 12 Foods to Eat Organic!

theDirtyDozen

By Dan Shapley

The benefits of eating organic food go straight to the farm, where no pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used to grow the organic produce shipped to grocers. That means workers and farm neighbors aren't exposed to potentially harmful chemicals, it means less fossil fuel converted into fertilizers and it means healthier soil that should sustain crops for generations to come.

For individuals, organic food also has benefits. Eating organic means avoiding the pesticide residue left on foods, and it may even mean more nutritious varietals, though research into that subject has yielded mixed results. While there are few if any proven health impacts from consuming trace quantities of pesticides on foods, a growing number of people take the precaution of avoiding exposure just in case, particularly in the cases of pregnant women (growing babies are exposed to most of the chemicals that mom consume) and the parents of young children.

Fat Found to Accelerate Aging Process!

By Rob Stein

Washington Post Staff Writer


Scientists have produced the first direct evidence that fat accelerates aging, possibly speeding the unraveling of crucial genetic structures inside cells that wither with age.


A team of researchers from the United States and Britain found that the more people weigh, the older their cells appear on a molecular level, with obesity adding the equivalent of nearly nine years of age to a person's body.


The findings suggest that many health problems associated with being overweight -- heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis -- may result from fat cells hastening the natural aging process.

Making the Food Pyramid Work for You!

http://www.irishpride.ie


Irish foodpyramid


To make it a little easier to see what you should be including in your diet to make it healthy, nutrition experts have come up with the concept of the food pyramid. The idea is to eat more foods from the shelves which are larger and less from those which are smaller.


Scroll over the food pyramid to see how many servings you should be eating a day from the various groups.




  • Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods

  • Fruit and vegetables

  • Milk and dairy foods

  • Meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein 

The anti-aging secrets experts use !

anti aging



As experts on the skin and everything that can possibly go wrong with it, dermatologists are some of the best resources available to learn how to keep our skin healthy and youthful for as long as possible! They have their fingers on the pulse of science and technology and have access to the newest surgeries, injections, peels, creams, lasers, and much, much more. However, we have found that their main recommendations don’t involve any scary lasers, injections, or surgeries! Instead, they recommend good habits and simple life changes to what we eat and drink that we can all take to slow down and prevent the appearance of aging and even begin to reverse it.



Top Tips from the Experts:


1. Choose antioxidants.

Antioxidants are among the most highly recommended ingredients for skincare products. Most dermatologists consider antioxidants in moisturizers essential to target the damage caused by free radicals and help prevent future damage to our skin cells. Just as antioxidants are recommended for the skincare products we apply topically, they are also recommended for the foods we eat! Foods rich in anti-oxidants, including vitamins C and E, are a must for aging skin.  Green tea, fruits, and dark chocolate are among the antioxidant-rich foods that  help 

Health Benefits of Potassium !

By: Suzanne VanDeGrift


potassium


Potassium is a mineral that's needed to keep our body's pH in balance. It's also essential for maintaining the body's normal fluid balance. And, without proper potassium levels, healthy muscle growth, and a healthy nervous system and brain function are not possible. It's also a key element in the process of converting blood sugar to glycogen. Most of our body's potassium is found in our cells, but a small percentage is found in the blood. Potassium can be found in a variety of foods; fresh fruits and vegetables, bananas, oranges and potatoes are very high in potassium; nuts, fish, milk and dry beans are also good sources of potassium.


That being said. How many of us actually eat a well balanced diet, with proper pyramid meals and healthy snacks? We have good intentions, but the reality is our lifestyles dictate that we often eat on the run. It's easier to stop at the closest fast food restaurant and pick up something that's not particularly healthy. That big cheeseburger and fries isn't going to provide much potassium; fat yes, potassium no. Supplements are very important with many of our vitamin and mineral needs, potassium is no exception. A natural herb supplement will ensure proper potassium levels even when we fall short of eating that proper diet we know we should be eating.

The 8 Wonders Of Matcha Green Tea!

by Dr. Sara Solomon P.T., DMD


matcha_superfood


If you're not drinking matcha green tea yet, you're behind the times! Get with the program and try this metabolism-enhancing, stress-reducing, immune-boosting, cholesterol-lowering, teenage-mutant-ninja cancer fighter!


Although people drank green tea in China more than 1,000 years ago, it became an important part of the Japanese culture. They named the tea matcha. Zen Buddhist monks drank it to remain alert and calm during long hours of meditation.


Japanese tea leaves grow in the shade to increase chlorophyll content. These chlorophyll-rich leaves are then handpicked, steamed, dried and ground into a fine green powder.


The history and cultivation of the tea is interesting, but what matters most to health enthusiasts is its antioxidant content. One cup of matcha green tea has as many antioxidants as 10 cups of regular tea! That's almost exactly the same ratio to the "spider strength" Peter Parker gets when he puts on his suit!



Fit To A Tea


The tea's power is so super because entire leaves are dissolved in water rather than steeped in bags. Instead of throwing away the leaves, you ingest all their antioxidant powers.


Those numbers are off the charts. Matcha green tea possesses antioxidant levels 6.2 times that of goji berries, 7 times that of dark chocolate, 17 times that of wild blueberries and 60.5 times that of spinach! Holy St. Francis, Batman!


    And that's not all! Matcha's magnificence makes a long list 

The Mega Benefits of Omega-3's

These Healthy Fats Belong in Everyone's Diet


In a college nutrition class I took back in the 90’s, I overheard a classmate boasting to a small group about how she only ate fat-free food. Most of America was still in the clutches of the fat-free craze, and my classmate’s views weren’t at all uncommon. Dietary fat was being blamed for heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and many other impairments of health. But instinctively, I thought that banning fat was a bad idea—I just didn’t have the facts to back up my theory. Now, a decade later, research is proving my hunch—that some types of fat can actually prevent disease and improve health. The key lies in a general understanding of fats, and in knowing which fats to emphasize in your diet.

The Fat Family Tree
The family of fat is very complex, so to make it less confusing, picture it as a family tree. At the top, there are two different families of fat—saturated fat and unsaturated fat. Saturated fat (butter is one example) is packed with hydrogen atoms, making it solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fat (like olive oil) contains fewer hydrogen atoms, so it is

Ten reasons why you should pay attention to foods high in zinc.



Health Benefits of Zinc


Zinc is usually the last mineral name you will find in a box of multivitamin supplements. But that doesn’t mean that it is the last needed nutrient for the body. In fact, it is an essential micro-mineral found in all body parts and is vital for the healthy activity of all the body’s system. The activity of about 300 enzymes relies on zinc to get them moving.

Myth or Fact: Brown Sugar is Better than White Sugar!

sugar


www.fitday.com


White sugar and brown sugar are two of the most commonly used types. Many people assume that brown sugar is more nutritional than white sugar, simply because the brown version of certain kinds of food, such as rice, bread and pasta, are more beneficial to health than the white version.



The Difference between White and Brown Sugar


Raw sugar comes from sugar cane, and it is a little brown when it is formed. It appears brownish because of the presence of molasses. Manufacturers of sugar will bleach the sugar to remove the molasses, and this makes the sugar white. Brown sugar is produced by adding molasses back to the white sugar. The difference in taste between white and brown sugar is actually the taste of molasses, which will be milder in light brown sugar and stronger in darker brown sugar. Compared to white sugar, brown sugar has a sweeter and richer taste. It also has a moist and clumpy texture, which is different from the dry and grainy texture of white sugar.

Foods and drinks that help cleanse the body!

fruit


by Alicia French


During the time of year when everyone falls back on the healthy wagon and promises to eat better, lose weight and exercise more, it seems fitting to give your body an extra boost when it comes to getting all the built up toxins out of our bodies.



Give your body a boost


Our bodies have a pretty impressive ability to clear out the junk, but environmental toxins, excess alcohol, caffeine and processed foods can still take a toll. When the body's cleansing processes are overwhelmed, it often results in fatigue, brain fog, a depressed immune system or even some serious diseases.



Trimming the fat


If you are trying to lose weight, cleansing is even more important. Many of the toxins we are exposed to daily through the food we eat and the air we breathe are stored away in our fat. This is our body's way of protecting itself from the many elements that can cause anything from fatigue to cancer. When you start losing weight, you are essentially breaking up the fat and releasing the toxins right back into your blood stream. A good cleanse can even help you lose weight more efficiently.

10 Best Foods To Make You Happier & Keep You Healthy!

by Gregory Arden


happy


We’ve all had a rotten mood. For many people, eating food (such as junk food) can make their health worse; which only worsens their mood.


But what if there was food that was healthy, and could also act as a natural anti-depressant? There are foods that meet those qualifications! Here are the 10 best foods, that will make you happy, and keep you healthy:


1. Coconuts


Despite the fact that coconuts are most commonly found in unhealthy desserts, coconuts do contain medium-chain triglycerides. Medium-chain triglycerides are special fats that fuel better moods and promote general brain-health. Note: Coconut milk, on the other hand, is actually pretty unhealthy. Stick with unsweetened coconut shavings.


2. Eggs


Eggs contain moderate-to-large amounts of Zinc, Vitamin B, Iodine, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and protein. Not only can eggs keep you energized, they can also keep you full (stomach-wise) for longer! A 2008 study in the “International Journal of Obesity” found that people who had eggs for breakfast lost considerably more weight, compared to those who ate bagels for breakfast.

How to Improve Your Memory- tip #2 - Make time for friends and fun!

fun


When you think of ways to improve memory, do you think of “serious” activities such as wrestling with the New York Times crossword puzzle or mastering chess strategy, or do more lighthearted pastimes—hanging out with friends or enjoying a funny movie—come to mind? If you’re like most of us, it’s probably the former. But countless studies show that a life that’s full of friends and fun comes with cognitive benefits.



Healthy relationships: the ultimate memory booster?


Humans are highly social animals. We’re not meant to survive, let alone thrive, in isolation. Relationships stimulate our brains—in fact, interacting with others may be the best kind of brain exercise.


Research shows that having meaningful relationships and a strong support system are vital not only to emotional health, but also to brain health. In one recent study from the Harvard School of Public Health, for example, researchers found that people with the most active social lives had the slowest rate of memory decline.


How to Improve Your Memory- tip #1 - Don't skimp on exercise or sleep

brain


www.helpguide.org


A strong memory depends on the health and vitality of your brain. Whether you're a student studying for final exams, a working professional interested in doing all you can to stay mentally sharp, or a senior looking to preserve and enhance your grey matter as you age, there are lots of things you can do to improve your memory and mental performance.



Harnessing the power of your brain


They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old adage simply isn’t true. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change—even into old age. This ability is known as neuroplasticity. With the right stimulation, your brain can form new neural pathways, alter existing connections, and adapt and react in ever-changing ways.


The brain’s incredible ability to reshape itself holds true when it comes to learning and memory. You can harness the natural power of neuroplasticity to increase your cognitive abilities, enhance your ability to learn new information, and improve your memory.

A SECRET OF ANTI-AGING

aging


By Stephanie Relfe & Michael Relfe


Anti aging is possible.  The body is designed to heal and repair itself with the aid of proper nutrition. The body requires two vital materials to complete this - energy and raw material. These two requirements are needed to maintain the cell's proper functions. The body is made up of cells and all cells are living. All living things need food. Each cell needs the proper food to keep it strong. Cells die and replace themselves at various intervals. To understand anti-aging, understand that when a cell replaces itself it has three options that it can replace itself with:


1.  A cell may replace itself with a weaker cell each time.  A cell will do this if it hasn't had the right nutritional foods available to it.  This process is called degeneration.


2.  A cell can replace itself with the same strength cell.  This means the body doesn't improve.  That is, you have a chronic condition.

4 Reasons Why You Need To Take Cold Showers!

shower

By: Fredrik P.


A friend of mine is 45 years old, has no gray hair, and very good skin for her age. I wanted to find out if there was anything in her routine that could have been a reason for such youthful looks for her age (all without any surgery by the way!). Leaving genetics out of the equation for a moment, the one interesting thing that popped up was the fact that she takes a cold shower every morning. So I did a little research about the subject and found 4 main benefits that you gain by taking cold showers.


Now when I say cold shower, I want to clarify exactly what I mean by that. Taking a full cold shower, meaning no hot or warm or lukewarm water at all, is borderline torture! Especially in the cold winter months (I am from Montreal, and it is VERY cold here!). Besides, there are many benefits to taking a warm shower, the primary one being that it feels really good! But seriously, what I mean in this context, is the practice of starting with a warm shower, and ending the last few minutes with cool to cold water. Here are the benefits that you gain by incorporating a cold shower into your shower routine:
