Intermittent Fasting Diet Pros and Cons

Add to the obesity industry just one more weight-loss scheme: Intermittent Fasting. Intermittent fasting involves alternating intervals of extreme calorie reduction with periods of normal eating.

People who promote intermittent fasting say it helps shed pounds faster than other diets as well as reduces inflammation and other heart disease risks. To date, research studies evaluating the effectiveness as well as health risks have been short and only enrolled a limited number of participants.

In one published July 1, 2017 in Jama Internal Medicine, results were the fasters did not fare any better than the conventional calorie cutters. It was also noted that there was a very high dropout rate of people assigned the fasting regimen. Experts thought this might be a sign that by human nature people tend to want to reward themselves after doing very hard work and there might be a danger of people indulging in unhealthy dietary habits on their non-fasting days. The human appetite hormones and hunger center in the brain goes into overdrive when you are deprived of food.

Even though there were negative outcomes and thoughts some experts believe intermittent fasting may have its benefits such as:
  • some patients felt to be NOT bothered with tracking calories and filling out records was a plus
The goal in weight loss plans is to develop a healthy eating pattern that is sustainable and can support weight loss over time. The experts say as for now, intermittent dieting has not been proved to meet this key criterion.

It is recommended anyone considering this type of diet needs to discuss it with their doctor. Skipping meals and severely limiting calories can be dangerous for people with certain conditions like those with diabetes.

At Life's Abundance we recommend eating healthy, getting daily exercise and when you add supplements to your diet, don't over do it. Take a simple focused approach to daily supplementation.

Unfortunately, four out of five people don't get the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals through food alone. That's why supplementing your diet with a multivitamin is so important.

To ensure a balance between getting just enough and not overdoing it, we formulated our Life’s Abundance Multivitamin. This unique supplement provides you with a focused approach to daily wellness. That’s important because instead of bombarding your body with an endless list of vitamins and minerals, like other dietary supplements, we included only the nutrients you need for optimal health and nothing you don’t. Plus the proprietary spice blend and black pepper fruit extract in this supplement, supply you with an additional nutrition boost.

This multivitamin supplement is in vegan-friendly, veggie capsules that do not contain magnesium stearate. The capsules are made from cellulose, which not only helps protect sensitive ingredients but also breaks down and delivers nutrients more quickly than the compressed tablets you can find on store shelves.

Life’s Abundance Multivitamin is a wise choice for those who wish to take a sensible, focused approach to daily supplementation!

Strength Training Programs to Strengthen the Heart

As we age much of our body's muscle is replaced by fat. There are five risk factors for cardiovascular disease we can modify by lifestyle changes. They are:

EarlyBarbell
  • inactivity
  • high cholesterol
  • high blood pressure
  • excess body fat
  • diabetes
All the above mentioned respond to varying degrees to strength training according to experts. Strength exercise increase muscle mass and burn body fat that in turn reduces risk for obesity. Strength exercise also helps manage type 2 diabetes by reducing abdominal fat and improving blood sugar control. Experts tell us strength exercises may improve blood cholesterol levels and reduce resting blood pressure. In turn, these improvements lowers your risk for heart disease.

Planning a strength routine requires a first stop to your personal physician. If you are cleared to proceed, ideally a visit with a physical therapist is next in order. A physical therapist can take the guess work out of "what you in particular need to do." He or she can tailor a strength training program specific to your needs and show you how to maintain it on your own.

You do not have to take out membership in a gym for strength training. Good news is it takes very little exercise equipment to get a good strength training workout at home or in your office. Many exercises require only your own body weight. Push-ups is a good example of strength training with no equipment except your body weight. Planks are another good example of using body weight to strength train. Dumbbells in 1, 3 and 5 pounds or whatever your physical therapist recommends is a cheap start and good purchase for home strength training. Invest in a foam pad or yoga mat, and you are well on your way to a good home strength training routine.

The American Heart Association now days say strength training is safe and beneficial for most low-risk heart patients. If you have had heart attacks, you should follow the advice of your cardiologist. For this group of people strength training usually comes in the later phase of cardiac rehab.

Fish Oil supplements can help you maintain a healthy brain and heart. Life's Abundance offers a high quality Fish Oil.

https://www.lifesabundance.com/Category/Products/People/FishOil/FishOilLiquid.aspx?realname=10088630&cat=0&hdr=&Ath=False&Category=FishOilLiquid_v11(People_Base)
Fish Oil
Not all Fish Oils are Created Equal. The benefits of including additional Omega-3’s to your diet are well known. However, unless you’re taking a high quality supplement, you may be better off not taking one at all. In this case, what you don’t know could hurt your wallet and your health.

Your Wallet

The amount you pay for a bottle of fish oil can be deceptive. It’s not how much a bottle costs, but rather the amount you pay for 1,000 mg of the health-promoting ingredients EPA and DHA contained in the oil. If you look at our comparison, you’ll see that ultra-pure Life's Abundance Fish Oil represents one of the best values on the market today. In addition, you’ll also notice that our fish oils also contain sesame lignans and astaxanthin, two key ingredients that enhance the health-promoting qualities of fish oil.

Your Health

In its unpurified form, fish oil contains many contaminants, some of which can be harmful to your health. To purify the oil takes many steps, each one adding to the cost of manufacturing. It is important to buy your fish oil from a company that not only says it purifies the oil, but one that is willing to share the results from every batch made with you, so you can know you and your family are safe.

The Solution

Life's Abundance omega-3 fish oil supplements are highly concentrated and ultra pure and they meet or exceed the highest standards in the industry for quality assurance. In fact, each and every batch of Life's Abundance Fish Oil is tested by an independent third party organization (IFOS) and the results are posted on the Life's Abundance website so you can see the quality, concentration and purity that ultra-pure fish oil supplements can offer you and your family.

The Spinach Model for Possible Heart Damage Repair

A team of researchers think the leafy green vegetable called spinach may also be a key to repairing damaged hearts. This was described in the May 2017 issue of Biomaterials. How was this determined? Researchers used:

Flickr - cyclonebill - Salat af spinat, blommetomater, gedeost og valnøddeolie
  • detergent to dissolve cells inside a spinach leaf that left the scaffolding of the leaf veins which resemble blood vessels in the heart
  • they then seeded the veins with human heart stem cells
  • after 5 days the cells spontaneously began to contract and continued to beat for 3 weeks
The authors of this study explained if a number of leaves were stacked up, some of the vascular networks could serve as arteries and other networks would serve as veins. The goal was to create a piece of heart tissue that could be used to repair the damage caused by a heart attack. Reality tells us this possibility is still a long ways off, but if successful, the "spinach model" offers the added advantage of being one of the true green technologies. Animal models require feed and create waste. Spinach is a low-impact and cost effective resource. (Harvard Heart Newsletters)

Greens Blend


Life's Abundance Greens Blend nourishes your body with a blend of raw, certified-organic grasses plus certified, organic mushrooms.

Our organic raw greens are grown in glacial soil and cut at peak harvest before the jointing stage, so you're getting the best quality greens. Because they are raw, they retain more nutrients than cooked greens.

To boost this formula’s nutrient value, we added a certified organic blend of reishi, maitake, and shitake mushrooms to provide a vegetarian source of iron and B vitamins, and also a great source of phytonutrients and antioxidants.

Life’s Abundance Greens Blend has a delicious-yet-subtle berry flavor and silky smooth texture. It mixes easily with water or into your favorite smoothie. It is one of the best tasting GMO-free greens blends on the market and leaves no "grassy" aftertaste.

At only 25 calories per serving, this nutrient dense supplement is a simple way to help you consume the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily.

Let's Hear It for Cashews, My Favorite Nut Snack

Cashews is back on the list of "heart-healthy" snack choices according to a small study published online March 29, 2017 by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Below: A Fruiting Cashew Tree

Albert Eckhout - Mameluca

Cashews have always been popular in nut mixes and have been given some bad publicity due to the 20% saturated fat they contain. According to this new study the saturated fat in cashews is from stearic acid, a fatty acid thought to have a neutral effect on blood cholesterol.

This is a bit of good news for those of us love Cashews. I keep this snack near my computer at all times and end up eating about a hand full each day. I would continue eating them in moderation regardless of the studies. It is just always good news to read or hear that what you are already doing is good for you instead of bad for you!

Raw cashews are rich in nutrition including:
  • protein
  • dietary fiber
  • dietary minerals particularly copper
  • manganese
  • phosphorus
  • magnesium
  • thiamin
  • vitamin B6
  • vitamin K
Another easy and quick way to obtain extra minerals in your daily diet is to drink Life's Abundance Minerals and Antioxidants Drink mix:

https://www.lifesabundance.com/Category/Products/People/Minerals-Antioxidants.aspx?realname=10088630&cat=0&hdr=&Ath=False&Category=MineralsAntioxidants_v11(People_Base)
Minerals and Antioxidants Drink Mix
Americans are deficient in minerals. In fact, way back in 1936, the Department of Agriculture told congress that 99% of the population was deficient. Regrettably, there are many more recent studies confirming varying amounts of mineral deficiencies in our diet, mainly due to their depletion in our soil.

We need minerals! Vitamins cannot work properly without them and they are absolutely vital to maintain our mental and physical well being. Since the body cannot manufacture minerals, they must come from our diet.

Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants drink mix is a delicious way to supplement your diet.

This unique mix is made with a variety of freshly harvested sea vegetables and contains approximately 74-plant based, naturally chelated, trace minerals. For an additional nutritional boost, it also contains antioxidants from 11 nutrient-rich super fruits like acai, cranberry, goji, maqui and pomegranate ... making this a high ORAC beverage blend. ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity and it's a way of measuring the antioxidant level, which is important because antioxidants are essential to good health.

Unlike many liquid water enhancers made from chemicals, our formula is made with coconut water and aloe vera and it does not contain any added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The organic coconut water replaces electrolytes plus it is alkalizing, which helps to restore a natural pH balance in the body and counters the effects of an acidic diet.

Instead of giving you a sugar crash like most other “health” drinks, our Minerals & Antioxidants mix gives you sustained energy.

Give hydration a boost with Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants. In two delicious flavors, Cherry and Tropical Fruit, pour into a water bottle for a convenient, go-anywhere nutritious drink. Take it to the gym or give a bottle to the kids … it’s delicious, refreshing and nourishing!

Don't Skip Breakfast: Help With Building a Healthy Breakfast

Why is breakfast so important? Because it comes after the day's longest period of time without food, breakfast influences metabolism more strongly than lunch or dinner. If you do not break your fast with a meal shortly after rising it might strain your body which can lead to insulin resistance and even other heart risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol (this is still "in theory" and "controversial" according to the experts).

Full English Breakfast

Tip: Help yourself maintain good body weight with a healthy morning meal. The above shows a typical "English Breakfast." Breakfast eaters also show greater restraint against impulse snacking and overeating at other meals.

What is a well-crafted breakfast?
  • lean protein
  • whole-grain carbohydrates
  • healthy fat
  • fresh fruit
The above can be assembled to make a variety of quick and tasty breakfast meals. Try a serving of low-fat Greek yogurt topped with fresh berries and a handful of nuts. Spread a bit of peanut butter on a whole-wheat English muffin. Scrambled eggs in extra-virgin olive oil with some spinach, mushrooms and other vegetables adds to the variety at breakfast time. Below is a typical Japanese Breakfast.

Chion-in breakfast by Ozchin

Avoid bacon, sausage or other cured and processed breakfast meats because these are high in sodium and saturated fat.

One egg a day for most people does not significantly increase risk of heart attack or stroke. Limit yourself to no more than 3 eggs per week if you have diabetes or at high risk for heart disease from smoking or some other cause or already have heart disease. Eggs are high in protein.

Are you looking to lower your cholesterol level. Try oatmeal for breakfast. The trend today is steel-cut or Irish oats which are whole oat grains chopped into small pieces. For the greatest benefit in oats skip the individual instant oatmeal packets which can be loaded with sugar.

Flavor up your oatmeal with a small banana or other fruit and sprinkle with cinnamon.

If you prefer cold cereals, look for:
  • cereal that has at least 5 grams of fiber per serving
  • avoid cereals that contain more than 5 grams of sugar per serving
  • aim for no more than 200 mg of sodium per serving
  • choose cereals that have no more than 150 calories per serving.

More Fruits and Vegetables is a Whole Lot Better

To keep the heart healthy it is recommended to have five servings of fruits and vegetables per day (about two-and-a-half cups). It appears if you routinely eat this amount you have a slightly lower risk of heart attack and stroke. Eat more the daily recommended amounts to 10 servings per day and you might lower your risk of cardiovascular disease by 28% according to a study published Feb. 22, 2017 by the International Journal of Epidemiology.

Fruit Stall in Barcelona Market

Food items that offer the greatest benefits included:
  • apples
  • pears
  • oranges
  • other citrus fruits
  • green leafy vegetables
  • cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower
  • green and yellow vegetables like green beans, carrots and peppers
When you eat fruits and vegetables you also gain many healthful nutrients like fiber that is gleamed as helping lower cholesterol and blood pressure as well as improves blood vessel function.

    The Use of Statins Combined with Grapefruit Effects

    A lot of adults over 40 take high cholesterol medicine. Most often, it is a statin drug. Among people who may have other cardiovascular risk factors an un-wanted interaction between a statin and another medication can occur. You should tell all your health care providers what medications you currently take including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. It also helps to use the same pharmacy for all your prescriptions.

    Pink Grapefruit 2011-1

    Be aware that Grapefruit contains things that alter how your body processes statins. Not all statins are affected equally by grapefruit juice. If you are a fan of grapefruit juice you might want to switch to a statin that's less affected. If you can't switch, it is probably okay to enjoy a small glass of grapefruit juice. To be on the safe side, check with your doctor and avoid taking your pills with grapefruit  juice.
