3. Weight gain will occur if you eat more calories than you use. This is called being in a positive energy balance. Weight loss can
65 happen only if you eat fewer calories than your body uses. In other words, if you have a negative energy balance.
4. Fats from plant and animal sources are necessary in small amounts. Your body cannot live without a constant supply of fat. Fats are needed to make hormones and to provide essential fatty acids. |

The term "nutritional supplementation" refers to the use of vitamins, minerals, and other food factors to support good health and to prevent or treat illness. Nutritional supplements are just that: supplementary. A person cannot make up for poor dietary habits, a negative attitude, and a lack of exercise by taking pills, whether the pills are drugs or nutritional supplements. | | NT

The Failure of Conventional HRT: The Women's Health Study Initiative
Introduction
The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) was designed to provide information about the risks and benefits of conventional hormone replacement therapy. The WHI was a study involving 40 large medical centers around the United States, with 16,608 women. The WHI began in 1996 and was reported in July, 2002.
The WHI was a randomized, placebo controlled study. | | This statement holds true when comparing all natural products to synthetic products, including vitamins, minerals and herbs. It is a common-sense argument to use a natural product to treat disease and promote health, and there are many studies that back up this idea.
Many patients are on synthetic hormones when they first come to my office. Often, just changing them over to natural hormones dramatically improves their condition. Dennis, a 52-year-old CEO of a manufacturing company, had been on Synthroid, a synthetic thyroid hormone, for 10 years. |

CANCER
Cancer is still one of the most feared and misunderstood diseases in the world, despite the fact that we are learning more about it every day. The good news is, we now have successful treatments for many cancers. More important, we have learned how to take positive preventive steps
— by making simple lifestyle changes — to help lower the risk of developing this disease in the first place. |

These include pumpkin, Swiss chard, peas, collard greens, beet root and beet greens, lima beans, and mustard greens. Figs, raisins, and blackstrap molasses are good sources of this mineral, too, as are oatmeal and tofu. Some of these items should be lightly cooked and pureed before serving: pumpkin, oatmeal, beets, and lima beans. Others may be juiced in a blender: Swiss chard, collard greens, beet greens, and mustard greens. | | The animal body (as its human counterpart) requires natural vitamins, strengthening minerals, activating enzymes, power-building amino acids, and stimulating fiber to give energy and stamina. It is virtually impossible to promote vigorous activity in any biological system for long without the benefit of wholesome, uncooked food.
The ideal, of course, would be for an animal or its human master to subsist entirely on organic, raw food. That type of steady diet would be of definite positive influence on health. | | Among them, 252 are derived from plants, 67 from animals, and 46 from minerals.

See book keywords and concepts |  Another dose of sugar relieves symptoms for a short time, so many hypoglycemics nibble continually on sweets, without minerals, a pattern that only aggravates the underlying metabolic disorder.
Too much sugar
Increased consumption of refined carbohydrates during the past fifty years probably accounts for the rising incidence of diabetes and hypoglycemia in recent times. In the 19th century, the per capita intake of sugar in western countries was approximately seven pounds per person per year. | | The lacking minerals are calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphate, and the trace elements manganese, zinc, and chromium.
Balancing blood sugar
Blood glucose levels depend on the action of a number of interrelated factors. Ingested foods are converted into various substances by enzymes in the gut. Glucose can be manufactured from protein, fats, and carbohydrates, but carbohydrates are most rapidly and commonly converted to glucose. A short time after a meal, glucose manufactured in the gut enters the bloodstream. | | Since many diseases are known to be the result of the wrong balance of essential nutrients in the body, adjusting the diet, eliminating junk foods, and ingesting large doses of essential vitamins, minerals, trace metals, amino acids, and polyunsaturated fats, can correct the chemical imbalances of disease. The term "megavitamin therapy" was first coined in 1952 by psychiatrists Humphrey Osmond and Abram Hoffer to describe the large dosages of niacin (vitamin B3) used in the treatment of schizophrenic, LSD, and amphetamine psychosis. | | If you eat junk food, the body runs low on zinc, manganese, and chromium, and other minerals such as calcium and magnesium are mobilized to use and store the excess glucose. The hair of the purely nutritionally hypoglycemic patient will therefore show high calcium and magnesium with low zinc, manganese, and chromium. However, other dietary indiscretions such as high copper or low potassium may obscure this finding.
For about $65, you can have an oral five-hour glucose tolerance test. This method involves fasting for twelve hours, then ingesting glucose. | | B6 should be given to the point of nightly dream recall, and the minerals calcium and potassium should be in plentiful supply in the diet. Zinc and manganese are also needed by the allergic patient. Elimination of the offending foods may be needed for several months. For multiple food allergies, in which this approach would severely limit the diet, a four-day rotation diet, in which each food is eaten only once every four days, should be tried. |

People around the world use it because it helps trigger the brain chemical called serotonin, a substance which boosts energy and concentration, curbs the appetite, and helps produce sound, restful sleep. Research shows that royal jelly can even alleviate certain kinds of depression brought on by low serotonin levels. |

Under the new proposed governmental health care reform, it may be difficult for private practice doctors to stay in business. Doctors who use alternative approaches may be required to practice medicine that allows no deviation from conventional methods. Managed health care conglomerates and state or federal health plans might even separate you from your doctor. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The problem with eating large quantities of sucrose is that it contains calories but no vitamins, minerals, or fiber. Simply stated, although such sugar provides energy, it really has no positive effects except to satisfy our craving for sweets. Such simple carbohydrates should be kept to a minimum, as they add nothing to the body but calories.
One goal of nutritional awareness is to increase your own consumption of nutrient-dense foods and decrease your consumption of calorie-dense foods. Most Americans are unaware that three fourths of all the sugar we eat comes in processed foods. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Scientists in the United States have begun studying the potential of fiber and two other minerals, magnesium and calcium, to reduce blood pressure, too. Here's a summary of what they've found so far.
Giving Your Heart a Break
Experts are unanimous that losing weight is the first task to tackle when you're trying to lower blood pressure. In fact, people who are 30 percent overweight are the folks most likely to develop high blood pressure. There's good news about weight loss, though. Dropping just 5 to 10 pounds can have a beneficial effect on blood pressure.
What's the connection? | | In addition to iron, phosphorus, and zinc, 1 cup of cooked bulgur contains the following minerals.
• 1 milligram of manganese, about half of the DV. Manganese is needed to ensure healthy bones, nerves, and reproduction.
• 15 micrograms of selenium, 22 percent of the DV. Selenium is needed to help protect the heart and immune system.
• 58 milligrams of magnesium, 15 percent of the DV. Magnesium helps keep your heart beating, nerves functioning, muscles contracting, and bones forming.
_Getting the Most_
Have it with hot dogs. | | Beans, are the ultimate power food—low in fat and high in protein, fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals.
"Beans are actually little chemical factories with lots of biologically active substances in them, and there's good evidence that eating them may protect against cancer," says Leonard A. Cohen, Ph.D., head of the experimental breast cancer program at the American Health Foundation in Valhalla, New York.
Sending Cholesterol South
While beans aren't the only food that can help lower cholesterol, they're certainly one of the best. | | One teaspoon of ground dried basil contains more essential minerals, like calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, than 1 tablespoon of fresh-snipped leaves. On the other hand, ground basil has a larger surface area exposed to the environment, which can accelerate the natural breakdown of its beneficial compounds. Your best bet, researchers say, is to make liberal use of both forms of the herb.
Store it carefully. Exposing dried basil to heat, light, or air for long periods will cause many of the protective compounds to break down. |
