Did you know that nuts contain some of the most powerful healing properties in
the world?That's right.Nuts decrease your risk of cancer, heart disease and
diabetes. They even control your weight without hunger pangs AND reduce the
visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin.I guess maybe good
things do come in small packages.Nuts also contain powerful anti-oxidants and
anti-inflammatory agents that slow the aging process. They have a very unique
protein, fat, sterol, and vitamin profile not common in most foods we eat.They
are high in arginine which is an amino acid that reduces cholesterol levels and
blood pressure.Many nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts,
pecans, pistachio nuts and walnuts all reduce cholesterol due to their high
levels of of essential Omega-3 healthy fats.Nuts are especially high in Vitamin
E which acts as a nerve protector and helps prevent the oxidation of cholesterol
that leads to fatty build up in the arteries. The is key in preventing heart
disease - the leading killer of both men and women in the United States.Nuts are
also rich in key minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium, all of which
reduce blood pressure.Contrary to popular belief, the calcium found in nuts is
actually a far better source of calcium for your body than the big dairy
companies with their multi-million dollar advertising campaigns would lead you
to believe.Thats right.You can learn more about that issue in one of my most
recent issues of my weekly e-newsletter titled:Calcium: The Great Debate And
Some Cold Hard Facts:by clicking here -- http://1healthtip.blogspot.comGot
milk?Ok, Im done.Nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts,
pecans, pistachio nuts and walnuts also contain very powerful phytochemicals
that are rich in the antioxidant polyphenols associated with the reduced risk of
heart disease AND cancer preventing properties.And last but not least,Diets that
include moderate amounts of nuts prevent obesity and even reduce weight.A study
found that dieters on a moderate fat diet (35%) plan that included nuts and
other 'good' fats lost as much weight as dieters on a 20% fat calorie controlled
plan. The moderate fat group also maintained their weight loss better than the
low fat group over the 18 month test period and beyond.Impressive.But,Not all
nuts are created equal.Many of the health benefits of nuts highlighted above are
weakened when they are salted, oiled, roasted, stale or rancid.Keep that in
mind.The Solution:Buy your almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts, pecans,
pistachio nuts and walnuts in their 'raw' form and make sure they are 'USDA
Organic.' This way they are not treated with pesticides or herbicides and you
will gain many of their life changing benefits.Trust me, raw, organic nuts taste
just as good. As a matter of fact, they are so fresh and in their pure state
that they actually taste better, in my opinion.Also, try using almond or cashew
butter in place of peanut butter. Traditional peanut butters are heavily
processed and do not contain anywhere near the amount of powerful, Omega-3
essential fatty acid content of almond or cashew butter.I recently switched over
to almond butter and I must tell you, I actually like it a lot better than
traditional peanut butter. And its much better for you.Give it a shot.More

http://www.1HealthTip.com - Remember that you control 72% of what and how much
your children eat on a daily basis, and you can also ask them to exercise with a
supervisor or guardian for extended time periods each day. It just needs thought
and planning.Child obesity can be officially diagnosed by a doctor using infant
growth charts, or, for a teenager, the body mass index. The growth chart is a
tool that compares your child's weight, for his/her height and age, with infants
across the world. According to doctors, chubbiness is normal in babies, and
your child should look noticeably fat for you to be concerned.But you can do
some of the work yourself. It's easy to calculate your infant's growth chart
percentile ratings online with online helpful calculators. They are free and do
not require a doctors visit. It's a parental duty to halt the onset of child
obesity because it's been linked to lipid problems, gallstones, diabetes, liver
problems, hypertension, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
asthma, osteoporosis, trouble sleeping, and menstrual problems.Treatments for
child obesity include eliminating or minimizing sweet drinks and substituting
with water, developing a social support network that centers on entire family,
and working up to 40-60 minutes of day of physical exercise. That is the
duration that the U.S. surgeon general recommends. However, the sodas should be
replaced with homemade, organic fruit and berry smoothies that the child eats
like a soup.This will give him or her fiber and energy in a more sustained,
balanced way. Try to integrate a lot of complex carbs like squash, sweet
potatoes, buttered rice, coconut fiber, and blended nuts, seeds, and grains in
baked goods and "milks". There are cookbooks available that encourage the use
of such foods to promote homeostasis in the body. Fortunately, these foods are
easily prepared, extra cheap, and super nutritious.Every positive action - such
as meeting exercise goals ? deserves a reward. Thus reward with special,
nutritious pastries or pies. Look through several books as they can provide
many such recipes without any sugar and minimal empty calories. Obesity can be
overcome, especially early on, with parents' support and research!!Eric Hartwell
