Health Weight Loss

Weight Loss Success

Despite what you see in some diet books and TV programmes, healthy eating can be really straightforward.

A diet based on starchy foods such as rice and pasta, with plenty of fruit and vegetables, some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish and lentils, and some milk and dairy foods (and not too much fat, salt or sugar) will give you all the nutrients that you need.

When it comes to a healthy diet, balance is the key to getting it right. This means eating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions.

Achieving a balanced diet in modern life can be tricky. After a long day, it can be tempting to grab the first ready meal on the supermarket shelf, which is OK occasionally. But the nutritional labels on these foods show that many ready meals contain high levels of fat, added sugar and salt. If you eat ready meals too often, they'll upset the balance in your diet.

Food Groups

All the food we eat can be divided into five groups. In a healthy diet you eat the right balance of these groups. I will discuss these groups in more detail in later posts.

  1. Fruit and vegetables.
  2. Starchy foods, such as rice, pasta, bread and potatoes. Choose wholegrain varieties whenever you can.
  3. Meat, fish, eggs and beans.
  4. Milk and dairy foods.
  5. Foods containing fat and sugar.
Most people in the developed world eat too much fat, sugar and salt, and not enough fruit, vegetables and fibre.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea/cactus juice

Nopal Cactus Juice
Fights inflammation to free you from pain

Nopal cactus juice is naturally sweetened with Agave nectar, it has no added sugar and tastes fantastic! Making it one of the natural things that can be used by diabetics.

You may expect anything that is really good for you to taste bad! Cod liver oil, cough syrups, those nasty cough drops, any prescription medicine (if you manage to not get it swallowed before it starts to dissolve), liver, soy products, how about carob … This may be my personal list and experiences. The opposite also seems to be true, most things that taste really good are really not beneficial to our bodies.

Sugar is a great taste danger, in its many forms, it tastes great! Candy bars, ice cream, soda pop, cakes, pies, doughnuts and all those things that my sweet tooth craves! Sugar has been blamed for weight gains, dental problems, hyperactivity in children, and other increased health problems. These all have all been contributed to America's increasing consumption of sugar. Cheese Burgers, pizza, hot wings, juicy cheese and bacon burgers... fattening. Weight gain and cholesterol seem to stick in my mind.

Tastes good, bad for you. Tastes bad, it must be good for you. but Nopal cactus juice is a great tasting healthy treat.

As people get older and wiser older, they try to eat much healthier and take exercise to take better care of themselves. Nopal cactus juice provides natural relief from aches and pains.

Nopal cactus juice in fact does taste really good, but it comes only from all natural sources. Nopal cactus fruit, the main active ingredient in Nopalea the Nopal cactus juice, tastes naturally sweet. The added taste comes from another desert plant, the Agave cactus. Agave nectar has been used and produced in Mexico as a sweetener for a long time. There are no other artificial sweeteners or sugar added. These ingredients are combined with other fruit and vegetable concentrates to maximize Nopalea's benefits to your health. The formula also uses a small amount of another sweetener and sugar substitute named Stevia which takes the bitter edge off of the added fruits and vegetables. Stevia has been used as a sugar substitute for many years in Japan.

The results of all of the research and formulation is a wellness cactus juice drink whose active ingredient Betalains relieve chronic inflammation, reduces pain in many cases and also helps regulate blood sugar levels.
