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.

How a Tiny Amazon Berry Can Help to Prevent Cancer and Heart Disease

By Americo Tognetti

Let's face it; practically everybody nowadays has heard of a tiny little berry considered by many to be the latest wonder food. That's right, that acai berry which only grows high up in palm trees in the Amazon rainforest of South America, has been shown to have numerous health benefits.

The number one reason why the acai berry is considered to be so special is because it is believed to be able to help prevent conditions such as heart disease and cancer. This is primarily due to the fact that it has an extremely high concentration of powerful ingredients. In fact, it is believed that no other food source can match the acai berry in terms of ingredients and concentration of these ingredients. One very noticeable quality of the acai berry is the phenomenal amount of fiber it contains. In Western diets it is firmly believed that a lack of fiber can be a leading cause of cancer and heart disease. Also, food which is rich in fiber helps us to feel full and this of course helps to prevent us from eating more than we need to, which in turn reduces the risk of developing diabetes and becoming overweight.

Impressed with the benefits thus far? The acai berry also contains omega 6 and omega 9. Omega 6 is an essential fatty acid that helps to lower your LDL while keeping HDL cholesterol levels at bay. Omega 9 is also an essential fatty acid that helps to do the exact same thing, but also assists in the absorption of some very important vitamins. When taking acai berry, there will be no more worries about cholesterol levels. Most people are even able to do away with their prescription medications. If one has issues with high cholesterol and/or atherosclerosis, there should be no worries when taking the acai berry because it also contains a very special protein called anthocyanin. Anthocyanin helps to dissolve saturated and solid fats, which cause high cholesterol and atherosclerosis.

It's no big secret that most of the harmful toxins inside hour body originally come from the foods we eat. Of course in today's world, it's becoming extremely difficult trying to avoid foods which have been processed unless of course you consume a diet which is hundred percent clean. In fact, it is nowadays virtually impossible to avoid digesting certain toxins and pollutants via our diet. As a result, it has become increasingly important that we start taking care of ourselves if we wish to live a long life. Fortunately, these little wonder berries have numerous antioxidants which can help to purify us on the inside while at the same time, clear away those pollutants, chemicals, and toxins which have built up over the years.

As most everyone knows, diseases take time to develop. Cancer and heart disease are not conditions which have suddenly developed and appeared overnight. The truth is, in order for these diseases to develop, there always needs to be an outside factor involved, and for the most part, our diet is largely to blame. Fortunately though, we now have the benefit of the acai berry, in order to help clean our bodies and rid them of harmful toxins. Not only can these little wonder berries bring about a noticeable difference in your day to day life, but they can in fact even save your life.
