The Unknown Benefits of Grapes is Now Revealing

July 21st 2009 04:44
Human being is the most intelligent species amongst the all-living creatures. Although we’re much superior than some animals in certain aspects, but we must keep in mind that no matter how good you are, we’ll say goodbye to this world one day in the future (Just liked the King of Pop, Michael Jackson did).

Well, we cannot escape from the death, but we have the option to prolong our lifespan!
In the past few decades, many scientists have undergoing numerous experiments in the life prolonging technology. After a long winding journey, they’ve finally discovered that the “Life potion” can easily be found in one of the staple fruits: Grapes!


Honestly, the researchers always doubt that drinking the red wines will have any benefit to the users. However, they’re now confirmed the red wines are the wellspring of long life secret!



If we’re looking back on the history, we found out that grapes have been a favorite fruit for the ancient Egypt’s noble families. The royal families are those who qualified to consume grapes, while the civilians are responsible to plant the grapes (It sounds a little bit unfair, but it’s the world of reality).

Now, the scientists had proofed that the grapes are rich with resveratrol. For your information, resveratrol is a phytoalexin, which is produced naturally by several plants (Including grapes) when they’re under attack by pathogens.

After the detailed and time-consuming experiments, most researchers found out that the resveratrol is the effective compound for fighting against the following problems, such as:

1. Aging;
2. Cancer;
3. Inflammation;
4. Cardiovascular related matters;
5. Diabetes.

The more shocking thing is the amount of resveratrol contain in grapes is ten times more than of blueberries. In this case, grapes are the best antioxidant of all fruits. That’s why it classified as one of the “Superfoods”!

So, if you want to stay healthy, looking younger and have a longer lifespan, then you should consider the resveratrol supplements. Remember, you’re the one who make the choice here.

Eat healthy and living well!

A Healthier Diabetic Diet for Diabetics!

April 12th 2009 14:14
Have you ever noticed that you’re putting your life in the risk everyday? Well, if you think I’m joking with you here, then just take a minute and answer the following questions!

1. Do you a smoker?
A. Nope, I hate the taste of cigarettes!
B. Kind of, but I only smoke occasionally…
C. Of course, and I enjoyed smoking very much!

2. Do you an alcoholic?
A. Nah, I have no interest on alcohol!
B. Sort of, I only drink when my friends/colleagues force me…
C. Yeah, and it’s time for bottom up!

3. Do you a heavy red meat eater?
A. Excuse me, I’m a vegan!
B. It depends on the time and place…
C. Shut up and give me a quadruple cheeseburger!

4. Do you exercise regularly?
A. Yep, I loved to work out all day long!
B. Well, I will do it, if only I have the mood…
C. Are you kidding? I’d better spend my times watching Television programmes!

Ok, guys. If you answered all ‘A’ for the above questions, then I have to give you a credit here, as you’re totally have the lowest risk to getting the diabetes. For those that answered mostly ‘C’ here, oh my god, I have to cross my fingers here and praying for you a little bit more…

According to the latest survey, most of the diabetics are used to be the:

• Heavy smoker s (Yeah, smoking can really cause diabetes!)
• Heavy alcoholics
• Cannibal red meat eaters (Surveys have shown that red meat are not the good option for diabetics or normal healthy people!)
• Lack with daily routine exercises



As a diabetic for over 5 years, I discovered that it’s very important to have healthy balanced diabetic diets, as if you’re neglecting this step, you might be the one who suffer from the consequences of getting seriously ill here (Believe me, as I used to be a very stubborn person and I learned from the lesson).

In the very beginning, people always told me that I cannot intake too much of foods, including those coarse grains, sugars, unsaturated fats and blah, blah, blah… I did listen to their advice, but I found I started to become weaker and weaker day after day! I noticed that it’s wasn’t a great sign at all, as I might be got myself killed if I continue what’d people told me.

As a result, I searched all over the internet with hope to find something relate with diabetic diets. Thanks to god, I found a very effective daily diet for the diabetics named “1,800 Calorie Diabetic Diet”. The special part about this method is it teaches you the proper ways to intake less than 1800 calorie per day. The 1,800 calorie diabetic diet is the optimal diet to help us control our blood sugar and maintain our health.

By the way, below here is one of my sample of 1,800 calorie menus, you can try it if you want!

a. My breakfast: Two slices of wholemeal breads with low fat margarine or 1 cups of bran cereal.
b. My lunch: One ounce of poultry or fish, two servings of vegetables and one serving of fruit.
c. My tea-time: A few piece of low fat crackers and a glass of green tea!
d. My dinner: One ounces of meat or protein, one cup of brown rice, three servings of vegetables, one serving of fruit.

People always said, “Prevention is better than cure!” Thus, if you don’t want your life being spoiled by diabetes, then you should change your daily unhealthy lifestyle as soon as possible…

The Acai Palm can grow up to 30 meters of height, with pinnate leaves up to 3 meters long. Since the Acai Palms are fast growing palm tree species, thus it can be cultivated for their fruits and the superior hearts of palm!



Believe it or not, the scientists, physicians and Dietitians have named the Acai Berry as the "Number One Super Food" or "The Miracle Food of 21st Century." The Acai Berry is to be known as the best source of Omega Fatty Acids (Yep, its Omega Fatty Acids even better than the Fishes Omega 3 Fatty Acids!) Do you know that these acids are essential for the development of the brain, keep your body shape and muscle in the fittest shape?

I've used Acai Berry for over three years. The main reason I'm using Acai Berry is to help regulate my insulin levels and boost up my immune system, instead of keeping my weight in the idea level!

When people first hear about the Mayo Clinic Diet, they will mostly have some bad thoughts on it, as some of them might have heard that it's a method that being used on cardiac wards for patients that want to have weight loss quickly.

Well, same with you all, I used to have a wrong impression about the Mayo Clinic Diet because I heard that some said it can cause heart problems if we're practicing this method. For your information, you know that I'm the type of person that always want to find out the truth that hidden behind the myth and I won't give up easily.

After years of investigation and observation, I found out that Mayo Clinic Diet is not what as the experts claimed, where it is a healthy lifestyle program can help you to maintain your ideal weight in your daily life.

What is special about the Mayo Clinic Diet is it based on a food pyramid that helps the consumers to choose the right amount of serving for every food group. It recommends that there is not any limit for the amounts of vegetables and fruits consumption, but you must be not consuming up to 75 calories of sweets per day.



This Mayo Clinic Diet is best to reduce the risk of cancer and type two diabetes. Even you're already a type two diabetic, you can still practice this Mayo Clinic Diet as well.

Below here is one of my sample meal plans of Mayo Clinic Diet:

Breakfast: 1 bowl of oatmeal/bran cereal and 1 cup of herbal tea
Lunch: Broccoli/Cauliflower salad, 1 apple and a glass of plain water
Dinner: Cod with lemon and capers, 1 cup steamed green beans and a glass of water

Note: I’m a type 2 diabetic as well, and the above is a 1,200 – 1,500 calorie meal plan, where it’s an idea meal plan for the type 2 diabetic!

As you can see, the above three main daily meals are mainly concentrated on vegetables and fruits, where it’s good for all people that want to have a healthier lifestyle!

The Healthy Diet Plan and Recipes For Diabetic

December 28th 2008 08:18
Diabetes, as one of the top ten killers, has been spreading like wild fire all across the world. Do you know that there are over 246 million people in the world are currently living with the Diabetes?

According to the reliable survey, diabetes causes 6 deaths every minute and one in 20 deaths in the world is due to Diabetes! Every year, there are more than 3 million people in the world die and it’s mainly causing by the diabetes.



Diabetes is known as the number one silent killer disease, as it usually doesn’t have any early symptom of the disease. If you want me to point out the commonest early symptom, it would be feeling extremely thirsty.

There are three common types of diabetes, which as:

Type 1 Diabetes:
This Type 1 diabetes also known as “Juvenile diabetes” and the diabetics will need the help from insulin treatment, as their pancreas failed to produce insulin.

Type 2 Diabetes: This Type 2
Some called it “non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus” is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency.

Gestational Diabetes
This type of diabetes is a condition, where the women have been diagnosed diabetes exhibit high blood glucose levels during pregnancy. The good thing is, it’s only for temporary and it will disappear, after the baby is born.

No matter what types of diabetes you’ve been diagnosed, you should learn to control the high blood glucose level. With the good diabetic diet plan, adequate exercise and medicine control, you can have a normal life like others did! (You should believe all the statements, as these words are coming from a Type 2 Diabetic, Me!)

As a diabetic, I would suggest you to intake all those wholesome bread, fruits and vegetables. For your information, the oatmeal has been proven effective to control the high blood glucose level. Hence, I’ve included the oatmeal as my main breakfast meal. For your information, I also have my very own favorite diabetic recipes, such as the Lemon lime chicken, asparagus vinaigrette and oatmeal cookie! (Isn’t these recipes started to make you mouth watering here?)

Honestly, having diabetic is not the end of the world. It just your own fear of it, you just need to learn how to overcome it. Face it bravely or you’ll be suffered from it!
