Monika's Vegan Soup

Monika's Vegan Soup - 100% of all essential proteins for a balanced diet in one bowl of soup. Basically no fat and absolutely no cholesterol in this masterpiece. I ran it through a Diet analyzing program and found it met all the requirements of a healthy balanced diet that when combined with 5KM of walking per day creates a healthy, lean and strong body that will eventually reach its ideal body weight with a body mass index (BMI) of 21. We all need a bit of fat in a balanced diet but we need the unsaturated type and Hummus delivers a nice balance of bean protein and healthy fats to a fat free vegetable/vegan soup meal.

Questions from a concerned wife.

Question

Upon noticing your success with cholesterol and blood pressure reduction, I mentioned it to my husband (who uses meds to reduce these), but unfortunately he was quick to say "no way" is he going to give up meat and dairy and just eat vegetables - not even for a trial period. Just to double-check, those reductions you posted were solely based on diet and not meds, right?

Weight loss and heartburn

Shedding a few extra pounds can improve acid reflux symptoms

Go to the doctor to get relief for your heartburn and the first thing she's likely to say, if you're overweight, is that you need to shed a few pounds. That's because studies have suggested a strong link between obesity and a tendency to develop gastroesophageal reflux.

Heartburn symptoms do seem to improve when people cut calories. But no one really knows why extra pounds can lead to heartburn or why weight loss can improve symptoms.

Some doctors argue that symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, are the result of a big bulging tummy, that gravity pushes ? especially at night ? against the stomach. That extra weight increases the pressure put on the lower esophageal sphincter, the valve connecting the esophagus to the stomach. This leads to stomach acid traveling back up into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in the upper chest.

There is evidence that people who significantly slim down experience big improvements in heartburn symptoms. For example, a report published in February in the journal Obesity Surgery followed 295 patients who were given gastric banding operations. Four years after the surgery, 79 percent of patients who initially had heartburn problems said their symptoms cleared up. Another 11 percent of patients said their heartburn had improved significantly.

So, let's conquer those carbs

Hello,

I read an article (So, let's conquer those carbs) in the paper this morning that claimed that carbs were the enemy of anyone trying to lose weight or lead a healthy lifestyle. I couldn't believe my eyes - the paper was dead wrong in spite of the obvious truth that you can't live without carbs.

Here is a quick education about the truth regarding carbs and for those who don't mind reading a bit more there are 4 pages of quick points that will change your life forever.

Gerry's HeartScreen Results

These results are provided to show the vital statistic changes before and after a heart attack (July 2003). The improved results are significant as they were immediate and sustainable once I made a commitment to eating a low fat, natural foods as grown diet with no animal based products including milk, cheese, yogurt, red meat, fish or poultry. Exercise was also a significant change as I had none before July 2003 and have rebuilt my strength since then to do 8-10KM of walking a day, every day.
