Eat healthy – with color

Eat healthy – with color
Not only does the US Dept of Health & Human Services recommend eating 7-13 fruits and veggies daily for optimal health, but they also say, eat the full variety of the color spectrum (and preferably raw for the sake of receiving enzymes into our bodies)! Why colors? Because each color of a fruit or veggie is a different antioxidant that protects a different part of our body's health!

My Journey to slim and trim

Ann and I started P90X beginning of March, worked out a week, and then after my convention, got started again the last week of March. So not enough consistency yet to determine how it is going. We have consistently had one hour yoga classes on Tues and Thurs mornings however.
I have walked a few days with a friend, 4 miles each day for 3 days this week, however, my feet just hurt too bad. I don't think I am going to continue. Ann and I did Plyometrics this morning from the P90X DVD and that kicked our butts!
I weigh 156.2 and my desire is to get back down to my old weight of 130. I seem to be gaining weight since I started working out! I am not being diligent writing down everything I eat, so that is my focus this week, to pay attention!
Check in with you soon!

Abstract

Chronic inflammation contributes to an increased risk for developing chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. A high "inflammatory load" is defined as elevated inflammation markers in blood or other tissues. We evaluated several markers of systemic inflammation from healthy adults and tested the hypothesis that two formulations of encapsulated fruit and vegetable juice powder concentrate with added berry powders (FVB) or without (FV) could impact markers of inflammatory load. Using a double-blind, placebo-controlled approach, 117 subjects were randomly assigned to receive placebo, FV, or FVB capsules. Blood was drawn at baseline and after 60 d of capsule consumption. We measured inflammatory markers (high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1, Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 1-β, and Regulated upon Activation, Normal T cell Expressed and Secreted), superoxide dismutase, and micronutrients (β-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E). Results showed Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1, Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 1-β, and RANTES levels were significantly reduced and superoxide dismutase and micronutrient levels were significantly increased in subjects consuming both FV and FVB, relative to placebo. Data suggest a potential health benefit by consuming either formulation of the encapsulated juice concentrates through their anti-inflammatory properties.

Eskimo study suggests high consumption of omega-3s in fish-rich diet reduces obesity-related disease risk

ScienceDaily (2011-03-24) -- A study of Yup'ik Eskimos in Alaska, who on average consume 20 times more omega-3 fats from fish than people in the lower 48 states, suggests that a high intake of these fats helps prevent obesity-related chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
