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.

Herbal Remedies For Detox And Weight loss

By Ron George

What is a weed to someone, can mean nature's wonder herb to someone else. You have perhaps heard of this weed which can tenderly detox your body and act as a herbal remedy for many health problems. It is dandelion. There is no difference between using dandelion and multi-vitamin and mineral supplements which are taken as a full body health supplement, because of the innumerable numbers of vitamin and mineral that dandelion contains.

It contains several essential vitamins and nutrients like vitamins A, C and K, Choline, B-complex, iron, silicon, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, phosphorus and copper. It is normal for health aficionados to opt for the leaves to make a healthy salad.

You could bring back hormonal balance if you detox liver with the help of dandelion. This is due to the fact that the hormones are metabolized by the liver. Looking after your liver is of paramount importance as then you can easily handle the symptoms of menopause, menstrual irregularities and PMS.

Dandelion is a diuretic so it leads to weight loss. Its mode of action does not have anything to do with the intrinsic reason for weight gain, but it can help in effective weight loss without exhausting the critical potassium level of the body.

If weight gain is due to issues related to improper digestion, then dandelion could handle the problem. With the improvement of bile production by the gall bladder, it also helps in regularizing bowel movement. You could take it for a couple of months to take better care of your liver and gall bladder but you must reduce taking it slowly. This weed provokes many natural actions and secretions of the digestive system like it does with indigestion. It coaches your digestive organs to function properly again, without much effort from your side. Dandelion is especially recommended for people who face problems in digesting fat, as their bile production is not up to the mark.

Dandelion to detox is not advisable in case you are allergic to the weed or have inflammation of the gall bladder, intestinal blockage or obstruction in the bile duct. 250 to 500 mg thrice a day with meals is the suggested dose for adults. Take the advice of a doctor before you start with a new supplement. Nature has many ways to keep us healthy.
