Food tips

Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.


Try Eating Raw Food : Your body needs time to adjust and clean itself. Start including more fresh fruit, green salad, and green juice in your meals. Cut back on meat, dairy products, and cooked starchy foods. Try eating all raw one day per week, then two days. Or eat only two cooked foods per meal, then only one. You'll feel the difference.


Weight loss

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program initially invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many people believe that they seem to lose weight by following it.
The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you control the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts one's body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more healthy than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears alleges that a body that is in 'the zone' is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The main process of the zone system is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.
