 Other good sources of calcium include green, leafy vegetable like spinach. The darker the vegetable, the more calcium it contains, generally speaking. So, if you want to get a lot of calcium into your diet, you can also consume increasing quantities of these green, leafy vegetables. That would include spinach, kale, broccoli, and of course, all of the popular salad greens, the darker the better.
What about coral calcium? As one reader pointed out to me in an email, coral calcium is essentially ground up limestone powder. And, I tend to agree with that assessment. |

Often MSG is difficult to avoid, as it also occurs in hydrolyzed vegetable protein, textured vegetable protein, gelatin, yeast extracts, calcium and sodium caseinate, vegetable broth, whey, smoke flavoring, malt extracts, and several other food ingredients—without appearing on the label.

| As with lunch, eat a large, fresh vegetable salad (with only alkaline vegetables) before anything else. Mix 2 tablespoons of organic flaxseed oil, cold-pressed olive oil, hempseed oil, or grape seed oil into your salad. This dressing will provide more flavor as well as the essential fatty acids your body needs.
Although you need to pick one protein source for dinner, I strongly recommend you avoid meat. If you absolutely must have meat on occasion, limit it to one serving per week and make sure it's organic. Meat should come from animals raised without harmful antibiotics and hormones. |

Certainly this is a factor with the marathoners of Odyssey House. But even with a milder case such as Rusty's, doing DDR chased the bleakness out of his view of his future. And while most experiences will pale in comparison to the high of snorting cocaine, the possibility of a rich life can help keep that memory in perspective.
Rusty is now in his sophomore year of college, making good grades, and dating a girl who is also committed to staying sober. |

• Margarine, vegetable oils, shortenings, mayonnaise, and salad dressings are also common places to find soy. Read the labels before buying.
• Be on the lookout for soy when dining at Asian food restaurants. If you are in doubt, always ask whether or not a dish contains soy.
• Read the labels on all food products when you shop.
You may be surprised just how many products contain soy. Products containing lecithin, MSG, or "natural flavors"

 DHM, authors of Menopause and Estrogen, suggest the following foods to help balance estrogens: raw fruits, fresh fruit and vegetable juices (especially green juices), leafy green vegetables, garlic, figs, dates, cabbage, avocados, grapes, apples, beets, spirulina, chlorella, seaweed, wheat germ, and wheat germ oil.34
Supplementing with essential fatty acids (EFAs) can be important for balancing your hormones. "Many women actually eat themselves into hormonal dysfunction," says clinical nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman, who specializes in natural hormone therapy. |

?Slowly eat a banana, chewing it well.
?Drink some club soda.
?Drink a glass of organic milk or eat a few ounces of plain yogurt.
?Drink a teaspoon of baking soda mixed with 4 to 8 ounces of warm water.
To Prevent Constipation:
?Vegetables, fruit, and whole grains! A diet rich in these foods—especially the first two—will help a great deal with constipation.
?Make sure you're getting 30 or more grams of fiber each day in your food and supplements.

Juice Feasting is a nutritional protocol where you replace most or all of your meals with freshly-made vegetable and fruit juices. So instead of eating cooked food, processed food or "instant" foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner, you drink delicious raw juices throughout the day. There's no deprivation, no fasting and no starvation. You can drink unlimited quantities of all the fresh, delicious juice you want!
This provides every nutritional element needed for human consumption, including plenty of protein. (Raw vegetables are loaded with protein. |

 Salads with minimal or low-calorie dressings; roasted or grilled vegetables; hearty vegetable or legume-based soups; boiled whole grains; legume dishes; high-protein, low-calorie smoothies; and fresh, nontropical fruits are all examples of foods that can be enjoyed liberally because they promote satiety while adding abundant nutrients and minimal calories. The key to keeping these foods high in volume and yet low in their caloric density is to avoid adding more than a small amount of fat or other high-calorie embellishments. |

 In contrast, potatoes (whether baked, mashed, or fried) are the most common starchy vegetable and are equivalent to a highly refined carbohydrate.
Nonstarchy vegetables are a treasure trove of quality nutrition. For example, broccoli contains a variety of compounds that help the liver break down toxins and prevent cancer. All told, more than six hundred antioxidant carotenoids and more than five thousand antioxidant flavonoids have been identified in plants, and many are found in vegetables. |

 Does that mean the vegetable pie contains hidden ingredients? Because, of course, if the vegetable pie product didn't contain any hidden ingredients, wouldn't they proclaim it on the label by saying, "No hidden ingredients"?
It's a suspicious company that would use hidden ingredients on some foods while proclaiming "no hidden ingredients" on others. It's almost like admitting that the boxes lacking that statement are using hidden ingredients, don't you think?

| Not long ago, he went out for lunch with his son and ordered a very simple vegetable meal at a Chinese restaurant. When the food arrived, however, he could see that there was oil on it. Anthony's solution: he ordered two bowls of hot water, and washed the oil out of the vegetables. Satisfied that it now met his standards, he happily consumed the oil-free meal.
Sometimes, there's not such a ready solution. On a recent trip to the Far East, the airline forgot to load Anthony's special meal. In that case, he simply didn't eat anything but a couple of bananas on the whole twenty-hour flight. |

Fruit and vegetable consumption has been linked to decreased risk of stroke -- both hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Each increment of three daily servings of fruits and vegetables equated to a 22% decrease in risk of stroke, including transient ischemic attack (Gillman et al.

 The 1830s, for example, saw the Calcutta Medical and Physical Society form a 'Committee of Inquiry upon the vegetable, Animal and Mineral Productions of Medicinal Qualities Procurable in India and the Surrounding Countries'. This Committee posed a detailed set of questions to its members, officers of the Indian Medical Service, and other western medics working in the country. Their aim was to gather a comprehensive inventory of available drugs in use among western doctors and surgeons across the subcontinent. |
| On virtually every count, all four describe the moxas—the pellets or cones of a fibrous vegetable substance and the use of incense to light them—and the process of moxabustion identically. The physicians' accounts are much more detailed and use some technical language, but these are differences in degree rather than kind. Therefore, we can fairly say that laymen and medics saw, recorded, and transmitted the same material practice. |

 Some infant milk preparations contain vegetable oil derived from peanuts, and an article in the Lancet of 29 May 1993 suggested this is possibly responsible for the increased incidence among children of an allergic sensitivity to peanuts.
Yeast products, too, should be avoided by chronic asthmatics, as a substance known to cause excessive mucus secretion, constriction of airways and activation of inflammatory cells (all part of asthmatic reactions) is found in yeast. Yeast is a good source of many vitamins, but you may have to find an alternative in your diet. |
| Rather than being served as a vegetable, or in sheets of nori wrapping sushi, we are more likely to encounter seaweed in powdered form or incorporated in prepared foods. The type of seaweed called carrageen is much used as a substitute for gelatine and is added to many convenience foods. Kelp is also used in a diverse collection of foods, including ice cream, salad dressings and desserts.

 We get omega-3 fatty acids from vegetable oils such as flaxseed, canola, pumpkin, and soybean oil. These fats are also found in such cold-water fish as mackerel, sardines, salmon, and tuna. As you might guess, the average American consumes a few more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3s—a lot more, in fact. On average we consume a ratio of 20:1 or even 40:1 of these fats in our diet!
This results in our bodies producing significantly more inflammatory products than anti-inflammatory products. Our bodies are simply too inflamed. |

| Vitamin E is found in many foods, but wheatgerm, almonds and vegetable oils are particularly rich in it.
Zinc
Zinc is a part of many enzymes in the body and is needed for the formation of proteins and insulin. It is also an all-round valuable nutrient for the body's immune system. It stabilises the blood and maintains the acid/alkaline balance of the body.
Zinc helps the immune system by clearing out certain toxic metals like cadmium and lead, absorbed by our bodies from car exhaust fumes.
Zinc is therefore an essential mineral for asthmatics who are affected by fumes and air pollutants. |
| Reduce the salt in your diet by putting garlic salt or vegetable salt on the table. Experiment with the many tasty salt alternatives now available or use a combination of spices and various herbs to add zest to your cooking. Take time to read the labels on foods and choose reduced-salt, or preferably no-salt, varieties.
Water is as crucial to our existence as air. Water makes up more than half of our body's weight. Our cells are full of water. Water supports all our body's processes. Water is the basis of blood, and therefore of the transport system of the body. |
