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.

Why the Acai Berry is Great for Physically Active People with Food Intolerance

By Juanita Jenkins

A lot of people usually suffer from a delayed negative reaction to food, beverages and food additives. Such a side effect is called food intolerance or non-allergic food hypersensitivity and it affects different multiple body organs and other body systems. However, this type of side effect does not directly relate to the immune system. Food intolerance is caused by the absence of certain chemicals and enzymes that are needed to digest food substances and from reactions to chemicals in foods. Food intolerance is different from food allergy.

One thing to understand is that food intolerance will have many of the same symptoms as food poisoning, but usually more. Here's a short list of some of the things you'll find:

Abdominal Pains Asthma Arthritis Bloating Constipation Chronic Fatigue Symptoms Diarrhea Eczema Fatigue IBS Fluid Retention Headaches Lethargy M.E. Migraine or Nausea Rashes Restless Leg Syndrome Rhinitis or Sinusitis Skin Problems Stomach Cramps and Tension Urticaria Weight Loss Wheezing

You can probably understand many of these and even been affected by some. Knowing this, there is a good chance each one of them can disrupt your daily life. Take for instance a headache. Do you think you perform up to expectations when you're trying to get rid of one? Of course not which is why you should take a good hard look at the Acai Berry.

Due to its popularity, you can now find the actual fruit in many grocery stores around America. However, getting the same benefits you would from ones pulled right from the top of a palm tree is a lot different. There is so much that happens before they reach the states, that you truly don't know what you're putting in your body. However, that chocolate flavor with mixed berry taste is to die for every time. Best of all you'll find so many different vitamins and minerals within the Acai berry, that you will be able to build energy and stamina.

Acai berry is also a good source for antioxidants as it has twice the antioxidant power of blueberries, 6 times more than Noni and Mangosteen juice and 30 times more than a glass of red wine. This berry is truly an incredible source of essential vitamins and minerals, healthy unsaturated fats, carbohydrates and balanced protein.

For active people suffering from food intolerance, the berry is a good addition to their diets because it is rich in fiber. Food intolerance is a problem of digestion and having a lot of fiber helps alleviate it. Then the Omega 6 and 9 helps lower bad cholesterol and maintains good cholesterol while fatty acids helps in the absorption of fat soluble vitamins like Vitamins A E, D and K.

If you need a little testimony, the first place most people look is around athletes. Many of them prefer the Acai berry because it's a natural source of nutrition. This has been extremely important over the last few years of steroid drama. In fact, they're even dropping the protein bars and shakes for a more appropriate snack that contains plenty of Acai berry. When it's part of your diet you'll be able to expect longer stamina and continuous boosts of energy.

What it comes down to is if you're an active person and dealing with food intolerance, then maybe it's time to make a switch. Not only will it alleviate the problems over time, you'll be able to enjoy your life to the fullest.
