P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

Enjoy Health Benefits From Eating an Ayurvedic Diet

By Derek Clawson

The Ayurvedic diet is becoming increasingly popular for those who want to manage their body, mind and spirit as one. The Ayurvedic diet includes whole grains and other naturally fiber-rich foods, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. In addition to providing lasting energy throughout your day, Ayurveda foods also keep your body toned and radiant looking.

The benefits from eating an Ayurvedic diet are different for everyone depending upon each person's body type. Ayurvedic foods can improve health and memory; increase energy, endurance and strength; and help in the prevention of disease, cold, flu and other diseases. In Ayurveda, food is considered medicine and Ayurvedic foods are consumed for the effect they have on physical and mental well-being.

Ayurveda is a natural healing practice that has been incorporating an entire system of dietary recommendations for over 5,000 years. With its origins in India, Ayurveda is an ancient medical science that teaches how to be healthy and to lead a long and prosperous life. Having an understanding of one's unique mind-body constitution, or dosha, is central to the teachings of Ayurveda.

The Ayurvedic diet not only restores the balance of doshas but it also nourishes the body, which is essential for maintaining health. By eating Ayurveda foods, a person will be supplied with complete nutrition, and a balance of appetite and digestion. A person may feel extra alive and happy by discovering Ayurveda foods and certain spices and then incorporating them into their diet.

When prepared using the correct proportion of the six tastes: sweet, salty, sour, pungent, astringent and bitter, Ayurvedic foods create a natural balance within the body. Ayurveda food and drink is put into categories depending on its taste, post-digestive effect on tissues, and the energetic effect it has on the doshas. Often linked to its healing powers and medical-health benefits, an Ayurvedic diet can help prevent and treat disease.

For every food that is bad for you there are plenty of alternative and tasty foods, so following your own personal Ayurvedic diet is not as difficult as it may seem. By including all of the six tastes in every meal, a balanced Ayurvedic diet will create harmony and balance in the body. Ayurveda foods offer healing and good health when served in the right atmosphere, and are appetizing, flavorful and aromatic.

Ayurveda is a healing system that treats the whole person rather than simply treating individual symptoms, and the selection of food is very important to an Ayurvedic diet. Ayurvedic healers contend that if the food you eat is not suited to your constitution or needs for balance, all the medicines in the world cannot keep you well. Just as nutritional imbalances figure as a possible cause of chronic fatigue syndrome, the right kinds of food can also offer relief.

Thanks to the way in which they are prepared, Ayurvedic foods are very popular, eclectic and delicious. Ayurveda foods provide health benefits, which are maximized by the particular use of spices and the strict use of fresh and seasonal ingredients. Following the Ayurvedic routine is formidable weapon against stress if a balanced Ayurvedic diet is maintained.
