Keep the Sweet in New Year’s Diets with XyloSweet
OREM, UT (ContentDesk) December 30, 2005 -- Millions of people across the country are about to commit to one of the most common New Years resolutions; going on a diet. In addition to eating less and exercising more, many people are determined to start cooking healthier foods. Unfortunately, in many minds, healthy is often synonymous with no flavor, or no sweets. With XyloSweet (http://www.xlear.com/xylosweet/) from Xlear, Inc., dieters will not only reduce their daily calories and carbohydrates, they can keep the sweet, flavorful foods in their diets.XyloSweet is an all natural xylitol sweetener that provides a safe way for weight conscious individuals, and even diabetics, to sweeten everything from their morning beverage to their banana bread. XyloSweet can be exchanged for common table sugar at a one-to-one ratio, and because it dissolves, mixes and behaves like sugar, it can be used in most recipes that call for common sugar. For a sample recipe, visit http://www.xlear.com/xylosweet/recipes/. XyloSweet is an ideal alternative for sugar because it tastes good and provides a number of health benefits that you cant get from other sweeteners, said Nathan Jones, president of Xlear, Inc.
With XyloSweet, dieters can continue to sweeten their cereal and other foods without worrying about the affects of sugar. Xylitol is an all natural product and completely safe for children and adults. As a food additive, it continues to receive commendations from the medical and dental communities, including the National Institute of Health, the U.S. Surgeon General, U.S. Federal Drug Administration and the World Health Organization. The sweetener has a minimal impact on blood-sugar levels, making it an appropriate sugar substitute for diabetics and hypoglycemics.
Xylitol is absorbed slowly by the body, resulting in a low glycemic index of seven compared to sugars index of 83 (or higher).
In addition, because xylitol has 40 percent fewer calories, it can also be used as a sugar substitute in many of todays popular diets. Xylitol is considered a sugar alcohol and has zero net effective carbohydrates, which means xylitol is not digested and processed by the body as a dietary carbohydrate.XyloSweet is available through Xlear.com in single serving packets, and one, three and five pound bags. The product can also be purchased through one of thousands of retail outlets across the country; visit http://www.xlear.com/locateStore.aspx to find a local retailer.

The Glycemic Index Diet
Copyright 2006 Adam Waxler
The glycemic index diet plan certainly is being endorsed by more and more celebrities. ?But how exactly does the glycemic index diet (GI Diet) differ from the other diets on the market.
The glycemic index diet is based on the findings of Dr. David Jenkins that some sugar-based carbohydrates affect the glucose levels in the body differently than the more complex starch based carbohydrates.
According to the glycemic index diet, foods that provide a slow delivery of sugar to the body will be helpful to weight loss in that it will prevent the dieter from feeling the need for energy and therefore the need to keep on eating.
On the other hand, foods with a high glycemic index provide a sudden influx of sugar to the body that provides energy at first, but then leaves you feeling tired and hungry as body begins to crave more sugar.
Eating foods with a high glycemic index lead to the need for even more...

The High Blood Pressure And Sodium Connection: Is Salt Raising Your Blood Pressure
Copyright 2006 Frank Mangano
You can have your cake and eat it too -- well at least you can lower your blood pressure and have your salt too. That is what recent research is telling us about sodium's role in managing blood pressure. Hypertension, it turns out, is not caused by too much salt. Neither is it lowered by simply cutting salt out of your diet. So how is it that table salt (sodium) is still getting such a bad rap and being linked to high blood pressure? The real culprit it turns out is not salt, but how your body manages sodium and its proportion to the amount of potassium, calcium and magnesium in your body.
Scientists have discovered that deficiencies in potassium, calcium and magnesium have a much greater impact on blood pressure than the mineral salt.
These other minerals are so important in controlling blood pressure that when they are out of balance with each other, they can make salt more of a threat to healthy blood pressure.

Alternative Asthma Treatment
Did you know that asthma is in the top 10 hospitalizations reasons for the United States ? If you think about it its not that weird because over 19 million people suffer from asthma in the US.
Statistics show that more and more people keep complaining to their doctors about their current asthma treatment and as a result alternative asthma treatment is getting more popularity amongst asthma patients. In the long term alternative asthma treatment is better because it works on an other level. Unlike antibiotics it works in a natural way.
Asthma reflects the health of the lungs, the immune system and the adrenal glands so this means that alternative asthma treatment has to work mainly on the lungs and on the immune system.
