NUTRIENTS DENSITY and its advantages to healthy living.

NUTRIENTS DENSITY literally means how much you get of one thing, given the presence of something else. In the case of nutrient density, the "things" you receive, the nutrients, are analyzed in relationship to how much they "cost" you, in terms of calories. Simply stated, nutrient density means how many nutrients you get from a food, given the number of calories it contains. Nutrient density is a simple way to connect nutrients with calories.



More nutrients for less calories

Nutrient dense foods give you the most nutrients for the fewest amount of calories. In other words, nutrient dense foods give you the "biggest bang for the buck." You get lots of nutrients, and it doesn't cost you much in terms of calories.
Nutrient density is the exact principle we used when we rated all of 127 foods found on the World's Healthiest Foods website. The World's Healthiest Foods give you the biggest bang for your buck. They give you the most nutrients possible for the least amount of calories.

Eating nutrient dense foods is one of the healthiest ways to eat

Eating nutrient dense foods like the World's Healthiest Foods is one of the healthiest ways that anyone can eat. No principle is more likely to support healthy eating than the principle of nutrient density. Why is nutrient density so helpful? Because it gives you concentrated amount of valuable nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, essential fatty acids and phytonutrients, to name a few.

Nutrient density — an example

Let's take a quick example. Let's say you're low on vitamin E, and decide to eat a food that is not nutrient dense. A slice of run-of-the-mill white bread will give you about 1/10th of a milligram of vitamin E. This 1/10th of a milligram will cost you about 80 calories (the number of calories in a slice of many white breads). Now let's compare this number and amount to a slice of 100% whole wheat bread.


Whole grain products, like most whole foods, are nutrient dense. A slice of 100% whole wheat bread will cost you approximately the same number of calories (about 70-75 calories) but the vitamin E content will be substantially different. Instead of getting only 100 micrograms of vitamin E in exchange for your 70-80 calories, with 100% whole grain bread, you will get between 250 and 500 micrograms. Or, to put it somewhat differently, you would have to eat between 2-1/2 and 5 slices of run-of-the-mill white bread in order to get the same amount of vitamin E as is found in one slice of 100% whole wheat bread. And those extra 1-1/2 to 4 slices would cost you as much as 320 additional calories.


Getting your nutrients from nutrient dense foods is clearly the way to go! Why? Because in this example, it would save you about 320 calories. While that amount might not sound like a lot, in terms of average walking, it would mean an additional 45 minutes of walking just to break even. It would also be the equivalent of a 33-pound weight gain every year if it happened on a daily basis.


Practical tips

No foods are more nutrient dense than whole, organically-grown foods. The reason is simple: nothing is contained in a fresh, whole organic food that doesn't need to be there. That's why we've picked whole, organically-grown foods as the World's Healthiest Foods. Everything you need to stay optimally nourished is right there, packaged in its lowest calorie form. We've created delicious, simple to prepare recipes that feature these whole, organically grown foods. Try the recipes or make up your own using the World's Healthiest Foods, since these foods are your best connection to nutrient density, and nutrient density is your best bet for a healthy way of eating.

Most Timeless Beauty Tips

Getting gorgeous and radiant skin does not need expensive creams or procedures but need healthy habits and the right arsenal of products, most of which, can be found at the drugstore. These easy fixes to your beauty routine can help bring you one step closer to glowing skin.

SIMPLE and HEALTHY BREAKFAST CONCEPTS.

How much time do we have to prepare and eat breakfast each day? Maybe 10 or 15 minutes, if you're like most people. We're usually in a hurry to get to work or school, and we don't want to make much of a fuss over breakfast.

Some people skip breakfast (not a good idea), and others eat breakfast in the car, but most people eat breakfast at home. You want a breakfast that's easy and quick to prepare - the less cooking, the better - so you can get out the door fast.

We need to eat breakfast foods that are good for us, here-below, are a few easy and healthy breakfast ideas to get you going every morning.

Hot cereal: Just thinking about a bowl of warm oatmeal with cinnamon and your favorite fruit might make you feel all warm and cozy. Oatmeal is easy to make either on the stove or in the microwave oven. Flavored oatmeal mixes are also available in grocery stores, but you might not want the added sugars and artificial flavors that come with them.​

Cold cereal: Pouring some dry breakfast cereal into a bowl and adding some milk is about as easy as breakfast gets. Most breakfast cereals are fortified with vitamins and minerals, but many of them contain large amounts of sugar. Choose cereals that are high in fiber with less added sugars. Aim for less than five grams of sugar per serving.

Breakfast sandwiches: These are easy to make from scratch and only take a few minutes. Scramble or fry an egg and serve it on 100-percent whole grain toast for a basic sandwich. Add interest and flavor with a slice of cheese, or add mushrooms, peppers, and onions to your scrambled egg. Chop the ingredients the night before and keep them in the refrigerator to save time.

Leftovers: So many foods are associated with breakfast, like sweet cereals, eggs, pancakes, waffles and French toast with gobs of maple syrup. But there's nothing wrong with eating non-breakfast foods instead, like the leftovers you have from dinner the night before. As with any healthy breakfast, be sure to include protein and plenty of fiber to help keep you full until lunch. Heat up a piece of leftover chicken with lots of green beans or other vegetables on the side. Add a slice of whole grain bread and serve with a healthy beverage like water, low-fat milk or 100-percent juice.

Have some simple foods ready for those super-busy mornings when you think you don't have time for breakfast. Grab a couple of your favorites and breakfast is ready in less than one minute.


* Individual yogurt cups
* Protein bars
* Individual bags of homemade trail mix
* Whole-grain or bran muffins
* Peeled hard-boiled eggs
* Individual containers of 100-percent fruit juice

* Fresh fruit like apples, bananas, and pears

AVOCADOS: WEIGHT LOSS ENEMY OR FRIEND?



Avocados manage to be both timeless and trendy. The green fruit (yup, it's a fruit) is used in classics like guacamole and Cobb salad and it's currently popping up in countless restaurant dishes. But, could the ubiquitous avocado also be good for your weight loss game? 

Overview of Weight Loss Claims

  • The most common claim that avocados are good for dropping pounds comes from their high content of healthy fats, which are known to suppress appetite, leading to weight loss.

  • Also, studies show that high-fiber foods, like avocados boots feelings of satisfaction mean you're less likely to overeat which can lead to weight loss.
  • There's even evidence that healthy (or unsaturated) fats help prevent blood-sugar spikes, which tell your body to store excess calories as fat in your midsection. An indication that avocados is good for controlling fat bellies.
Healthy fats and dietary fiber are linked to satiety. Satiety can result in a reduction of excess eating. Eating less often leads to weight loss. But those attributes aren't exactly unique to avocados.
While avocados can be a healthy addition to your diet, it's important to be aware of the fact that they are fairly calorie dense. A small avocado (about four ounces) has around 180 calories and 17g fat. And there absolutely is such a thing as too much fat — even the healthy kind.

Just because avocados are healthy and satisfying doesn’t mean you should eat them with complete abandon.
Not only could that prevent weight loss, it could actually lead to weight gain. Definitely enjoy them — just in moderation!

When in Doubt, Weigh It Out

For the most accurate info, weigh out your avocado portion with a food scale. Each ounce has around 45 calories, 4g fat, 2.5g carbs, 2g fiber, and 0.5g protein.

Kitchen scales are inexpensive and they're great tools for weight management. If you're not able to weigh out your avocado, here are some shortcut estimates:
1-ounce avocado is equal to:
  • about 2 tbsp. mashed avocado
  • about 2 tbsp. chopped avocado
  • about 1/4th of a small avocado

Tips on Adding Avocado to Your Diet

  • Spice and spread. You can mash and season them to make a spread for whole-grain toast, high-fiber crackers, sandwiches, or even apple slices. One of my favorite little snacks is high-fiber, flatbread-style crackers topped with seasoned mashed avocado and sun-dried tomatoes. 
  • Egg Addition. A little chopped avocado brings so much flavor to an scrambled egg. Mashed avocado is also surprisingly tasty in hard-boiled egg white halves. Top it with chopped lean bacon for a tremendously satisfying snack.
  • As a salad topper. A bit of avocado on your food or salad will make it more filling and more delicious. You can even blend up some avocado with fat-free yogurt for a flavor-packed dressing. 
  • Creamy guac dip. Guacamole is delicious, but it’s way too easy to overdo it with the traditional dense dip. Combine 1/4 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt with the same amount of mashed avocado. Toss in 1/8 tsp. each of salt, garlic powder, and chili powder and you’ve got a guac fix with a seriously slashed calorie count.

HEALTH OR BEAUTY CONSCIOUS.

In the world today, we do have two types of people: one who are conscious about their health, and the other who are conscious about their beauty. Presently, we all live in a society where one is judged on their appearance, and how we present ourselves. Whereas, some are more concerned with their health, and beauty holds little or no value to them. My belief is that our society is more beauty conscious than heath conscious.

Many societies are after the perfect body image, where they would do anything to achieve that. There are numerous amounts of diet plans, and pills out there, which one can consume to get an enhanced body. People spend more than their whole years worth of income and savings to improve their image. Very often, it seems as if, their life purpose is to look and feel better. So many television shows are now created for those people who don’t dress to the norms of society and are brought in front of millions of people, humiliated and then dressed till desirable, and told to go home and maintain that look. 

Beauty and fashion industry is a multi billion-dollar business contributed towards the ideal beauty and fashions. Models are a certain weight and they walk on the ramp to show the whole world that this is perfection, and this is how everyone should look like. Latest and most expensive cloths, jewelry, and makeup are put on their body convey their message.

If one can not meet-up their perfect body goals, they would go to the extreme of cosmetic or plastic surgery. Due to looking a certain way, there is a huge population of people who want to fit in so badly, that they take drastic measures into making themselves look beautiful. This is where serious health disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia, and Compulsive Overeating Disorder enters. It destroys people’s lives and to some, it leads them to their deaths. 

The drive to perfection leads to deeper wounds of insecurity and lack of self-confidence, which takes an extensive time to heal. Younger and younger girls are feeling the lack of confidence and don’t think they are good enough. Mother are telling their daughters they should look and dress a certain way or else they would not achieve what they want to. You cannot go a mile on the road without looking at a gorgeous face, make up advertisements, or diet plan commercial. Everywhere you glance, there is the message of beauty.

It is wrong that people judge you based on what is on ones body rather that what’s on ones mind, but one must put their brains out first and then their image. It is miserable to see that our future generations are growing up in a beauty conscious society, but parents can make sure our kids don’t grow up to be that way. Beauty which is a product of Health is here today, but not forever.
