Top 10 Health Benefits Of 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.

1. Naturally Nutritious

Cold pressed olive oil is all natural, and has not been exposed to heat or any other ingredients. This process leaves all the nutrients and antioxidants in their natural state, so that your body can obtain maximum benefits. The oil is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, E and K. It is also high in omega fatty acids and antioxidants. These nutrients work together for the overall health of the body.

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:

[caption id="attachment_563" align="alignright" width="268"] مقال : مصر في فكر حزب الحرية والعدالة.. رؤية مستقبلية
بقلم / محمد مرسي[/caption]

نجحت ثورة 25 يناير المباركة في أن تسقط نظاما فاسدا استبد بأبناء مصر أعواما عديدة، وسينجح الشعب المصري صاحب الحضارة العريقة - بإذن الله - في إسقاط منظومة الفساد التي استشرت في شرايين المجتمع المصري وأسهمت بشكل كبير في تأخرنا سياسيًّا واقتصاديًّا واجتماعيًّا وثقافيًّا.. ولذلك كان إعلان جماعة الإخوان المسلمين عن تأسيس حزب الحرية والعدالة الذي يحمل على عاتقه مع باقي أبناء الشعب المصري: بناء دولة ديمقراطية وطنية دستورية حديثة، تعبر عن إرادة الناس، وإصلاح ما أفسده الطغاة بمشاركة كل طاقات وإبداعات المخلصين الأقوياء من أبناء الأمة في كل المجالات، ووضع دستور جديد، ومواجهة كل القوانين التي سمحت بالظلم والاستبداد، ووضع علاج سريع للبطالة والفقر، والصحة والتعليم وغيرها من المشكلات الملحة التي يعاني منها المصريون.

مقال محمد مرسي: الشعب المصري ملتزم بقرار الجماعة

 

[caption id="attachment_551" align="alignright" width="115"] بقلم: أحمد سمير[/caption]

«لن يبقى بجماعة الإخوان المسلمين إلا المتردية والنطيحة وما أكل السبع».

قد تتصور أن هذه العبارة أطلقها رفعت السعيد في مقال له بجريدة الأهالي ولكن الحقيقة أنها ليوسف القرضاوي مخاطبًا مكتب إرشاد الإخوان في رسالة نشرها موقعه الرسمي في أكتوبر 2009.

مكتب إرشاد الإخوان لم يهتم بالرسالة، ورشح لرئاسة مصر واحدًا ممن وصفهم القرضاوي بشيء ما.

محمد مرسي واحد منهم، يعمل من أجل جماعة قوية، ويرى أن النهضة إدارة شعب.. لكن الصدمة آتية لا ريب فيها.

Health Benefits of Walnuts!

Walnuts are revered since ancient times as a symbol of intellectuality, since their kernels have convoluted surface inside the shell resembling as that of brain! The nuts are enriched with many health-benefiting nutrients, especially Ω-3 fatty acids that are essential for optimum health.

• The nuts are rich source of energy and contain health benefiting nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for optimum health.


• They are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (about 72%) like oleic acid and an excellent source of all important omega-3 essential fatty acids like linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and arachidonic acids. Regular intake of walnuts in the diet helps to lower total as well as LDL or “bad cholesterol” and increases HDL or “good cholesterol” levels in the blood. Research studies suggest that Mediterranean diet that is rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids, and omega-3 fatty acids help to prevent coronary artery disease and strokes by favoring healthy blood lipid profile.

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.

Is Sesame Oil Healthy?

Sesame oil has been used for centuries in Asian cuisine. It has also been commonly used for medicinal purposes, especially in Ayurvedic medicine. It has a subtle nutty flavor and is used both as a cooking oil and condiment. Sesame oil is made from toasted and untoasted sesame seeds, with the oil from toasted seeds possessing a stronger sesame flavor. Sesame oil also has many health benefits that make it a good alternative oil to use in moderation.

Good Fats

Sesame oil is high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. According to MayoClinic.com, eating foods rich in polyunsaturated fats helps cholesterol levels, lowers your risk of heart disease and reduces your risk for type 2 diabetes. Eating polyunsaturated fats has also been credited with reducing the risk for developing dementia. In a 2010 article in the “Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease,” researchers found that elderly people who consumed higher amounts of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats had a reduced likelihood of developing mild cognitive impairment, a precursor for dementia.

The New Dirty Dozen: 12 Foods to Eat Organic!

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.

Anti-Aging Food Pyramid!

By: Chef Wendell

Concerned about how fast you are aging?

Maybe this new Anti-Aging pyramid will give you some helpful tips.

Eating foods that go against our nature is the same as driving your new car with the peddle to the metal constantly. Foods that are easy to digest benefit successful digestion and the complete absorption of all our required nutrients supplied by God's Universal apothecary.

Every food we eat leaves it's imprint on our health. Make every mouthful meaningful.

Making the Food Pyramid Work for You!

http://www.irishpride.ie

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 !

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 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

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

By Liza Barnes, Health Educator

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
