Eat bread!


Not just any bread. Eat the hearty whole-grain breads -- and cereals, pastas, pilafs, et al. -- that heart experts are so high on.

Not only are whole-grain foods much more nutritious and fiber-rich than processed white-flour products, but a new study shows they may help fight factors that can lead to diabetes, from blood sugar spikes to overeating. If you're even remotely at risk for diabetes, aim for about 6 servings of whole grains daily. Yes, tuna salad on whole wheat counts -- 2 servings.

Whole grains are crammed with fiber, B vitamins, and minerals (selenium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, iron, and zinc). This potent combination of nutrients helps regulate blood sugar and insulin, curb appetite, control cholesterol, and lower homocysteine, a substance strongly linked with heart disease, according to a major new study of almost 1,000 men and women. No wonder nutritionists have been chanting the whole-grain mantra for years. But now diabetes experts are chanting along with them.

Who is Isabel De Los Rios?

Well, this ezine article tells you about her book the Diet Solution.

If you want to buy it then it's about $40.

But, that's not why I am writing this.

She says this about bloating:

"One of the best ways to handle bloating (especially lower abdominal bloating) is to eliminate "wheat" based products for 2 weeks. The bloated belly is caused by gluten (a sticky substance in the wheat that has a glue-like consistency) and this gluten is extremely difficult to digest. In some people (especially women) this can produce digestive discomfort, gas and bloating. Wheat contains the highest amount of gluten than any other grain so decrease your consumption of breads, cereals, crackers and any foods with "wheat" on the label (whole-wheat or otherwise) for 14 days and see what a difference that can make."

Foods to boost Libido

1- Celery
While celery may not be the first food that comes to mind when you're thinking sex, it can be a fantastic source food for sexual stimulation. This is because it contains androsterone, an odorless hormone released through male perspiration and turns women on.

How to enjoy this libido food: Celery is best eaten raw. Wash and cut some, and munch away.


2- Raw oysters
This is one of the classic sexy foods. Oysters are high in zinc, which raises sperm and testosterone production. Oysters also contain dopamine, a hormone known to increase libido. Also, the experience of shucking a raw oyster is erotic. Try incorporating it into your foreplay -- feed her and have her feed you. The slippery taste sensation and the mere act of shucking should get you both in the mood.

How to enjoy this libido food: Scrub the shells thoroughly to get any dirt or bacteria off. Pry them open and place them on a bed of ice, squeeze some fresh lemon onto them if you like, and then start shucking away.


3- Bananas
Bananas contain the bromelain enzyme, which is believed to increase libido in men. Additionally, they are good sources of potassium and B vitamins like riboflavin, which increase the body's overall energy levels.

How to enjoy this libido food: Place them on a dish in various states of "undress" and have your lady slowly eat some for you. Then gobble yours down and get to work.


4- Avocado
The Aztecs called the avocado tree ahuacatl or "testicle tree." While avocados can indeed look like that body part, they contain high levels of folic acid, which helps metabolize proteins, thus giving you more energy. They also contain vitamin B6 (a nutrient that increases male hormone production) and potassium (which helps regulate a woman's thyroid gland), two elements that help increase libido in both men and women.

How to enjoy this libido food: Cut one in half, scoop out the insides with your fingers, and then get your woman to lick it off.


5- Almonds (or nuts in general)
Almonds are a prime source of essential fatty acids. These are vital as they provide the raw material for a man's healthy production of hormones. Additionally, the smell of almonds is purported to arouse passion in females. Try lighting some almond-scented candles to encourage her mood and snack on some (but not too many) yourself to store up energy for your performance.

How to enjoy this libido food: Eat them raw (with no added salt or sweetness). Or, crush some fresh almonds and sprinkle them on your salad to get the energy you need.


6- Mangoes, peaches and strawberries
What can be more fun than sinking your teeth into a drippy, sticky-sweet fruit? Probably doing that as a prelude to (or during) sex. All of the above fruits and their shapes, textures and succulence are erotically suggestive and can be fun to use amid foreplay. Try dribbling the juices over your bodies and licking up the residue as an erotic game. It makes for a great (and tasty) way to discover each other's bodies.

How to enjoy this libido food: Peel the mango, cut the peach and slice up some strawberries, and feed your woman while she's giving you oral sex.


7- Eggs
Although not the most sensual of foods, eggs are high in vitamins B6 and B5. These help balance hormone levels and fight stress, two things that are crucial to a healthy libido. Eggs are also a symbol of fertility and rebirth. Some people will eat raw chicken eggs just prior to sex to increase libido and maximize energy levels. But all bird and fish eggs contain B6 and B5.

How to enjoy this libido food: Have some caviar and (a bit of) champagne during your fun or gobble down some hard-boiled eggs beforehand.


8- Liver
A good source of glutamine -- a cellular fuel for your immune system -- liver may indeed increase a slowed-down libido. Granted, it's not the sexiest of foods, but if you add it to your basic diet, your body -- and your lady -- will thank you for it.

How to enjoy this libido food: Try frying liver up in a pan with some onions, spices and olive oil to make the taste more agreeable.


9- Figs
These are high in amino acids, which are believed to increase libido. They can also improve sexual stamina. Furthermore, the shape of a fresh fig and the sweet, juicy taste are two tangible aspects that are highly pleasurable to the human senses.

How to enjoy this libido food: Feed her some fresh figs and let the juices run all wild while you're both getting revved up


10- Garlic
Yes, you might need to stock up on some extra breath mints, but it'll be worth it. Garlic contains allicin, an ingredient that increases blood flow to the sexual organs. As such, it's a highly effective herb to help increase libido. If the odor just won't work for you -- or you can't stand garlic -- you and your lady can always take garlic capsules instead.

How to enjoy this libido food: Well, chances are you can't enjoy garlic and sex simultaneously, so take some capsules and get it over with.


11- Chocolate
Aside from the fact that chocolate is the surest way to a woman's vagina, chocolate contains theobromine -- an alkaloid -- which is very similar to caffeine. It also contains phenylethylamine, a chemical believed to produce the feeling of "being in love." So, when your woman talks about how good chocolate makes her feel, there is some science behind it. In addition, dark chocolate has a massive amount of anti-oxidants, which are great for the body in general, as they help maintain the immune system.

How to enjoy this libido food: From chocolate bars to chocolate fondue, as long as it's chocolate, you and your woman will be in for a tasty session.

Alkaline diet

THE ALKALINE DIET AND MUSCLES

Strong well-nourished muscles automatically hold the body erect. When muscles have not received the food necessary for their repair, they lose their elasticity like old rubber bands. However, toxicity must be eliminated by maintaining a good acid-alkaline balance. We get out of balance from pollution, poor nutrition, faulty digestion and elimination. This can eventually lead to muscle weakness. When we do not eliminate toxins in normal elimination, our bodies collect mucus in which germs and viruses accumulate, which then cause toxin elimination through the eyes, ears, nose and throat. We can prevent colds and upper respiratory infections with a good alkaline diet.

How do we maintain a good alkaline diet?

We must include in our diet as many alkaline foods (known as acid binding foods) as we take in acid producing foods. The highest acid producing foods are the meats, chicken, fish, and eggs which are known as the "heavy proteins". That does not mean we cannot eat these foods, but they must be balanced with the alkaline producing foods - the fruits and vegetables.

A selection of tables was prepared by an expert of physiological chemistry, Ragnaar Berg, for the special laboratory for food research at the Laman Sanitarium of Germany. The higher the alkaline qualities, the more valuable these foods are as mucus eliminators. Black radish, when in season, spinach, dandelion and dill are all excellent internal scrubbers. In his charts he lists vegetables in their order of alkaline qualities from the highest to the lowest, beginning with the black radish and spinach and followed by dill, endive, tomato, dandelion, celery, cucumber, red beets, leeks, white turnips, sweet potatoes, string beans, white radish, potatoes, green peas, watercress, cabbage, artichokes, chicory, watermelon and red onions.

Figs head the list of alkaline producing fruits, followed by raisins, oranges, grapes, plums, dried dates, peaches, raspberries, sour cherries, apricots, pears, sweet cherries and apples.

The acid producing foods

The dried beans are acid producing foods, but soybeans are highly alkaline. Breads are listed from the highest to the lowest in acid production. Polished rice heads the list of acid producing breads, followed by white bread, then rye, barley and oats, Zwieback, farina, black bread, refined wheat, and macaroni. The least acid producing are unpolished rice and whole wheat.

So, how is your alkaline count?

It really isn't so complicated to obtain maximum health. We must drink good water, exercise to get oxygen to all our cells, avoid the highly refined foods, the empty calorie foods (especially those containing white flour and white sugar). We must get plenty of fiber from fruits, vegetables and whole grains, include large portions of raw foods (enzymes are destroyed when food is cooked above body temperature), and we must look at foods and decide for ourselves if our Creator put them on earth for us to eat or if man is making money at our expense. It's most beneficial to do a cleansing program to eliminate pollution from our bloodstream. Most important of all, we must avoid mental pollution by thinking wellness and believing in wellness.

Your mom said to eat your vegetables. A little girl eating her dinner with her mother on an airplane looked up and saw a flashing sign. "What does that say?" she asked. Her mother replied, "Fasten your seatbelt and eat your vegetables."
