Is a Mediterranean Diet Better For Me?

 

It all depends on how much ultimately the quantity you consume.

 

The total amount of energy and the ratio of carbohydrate to it.

 

A Mediterranean diet may have more fish and olive and fruits and vegetables that's fine. Each individual is different, we can take studies and show okay 80 percent of them got the benefit as an individual.

 

Do you belong to the 20% or the 80 percent? How do you know? So that is the problem with going by studies.

 

The certain studies on Mediterranean Diet says that. But where do you belong?

 

Only your brain knows what your body needs at any given time. When you sit down to eat not a dietitian not a nutritionist not your doctor not your wife nobody knows what your body needs.

 

I had one husband and wife. She happened to be my secretary and she wanted her husband to lose weight and I told them and they came back a month later.

 

She said, he's not losing any weight? I provide him with the food you told.

 

I asked how do you do that?

 

She replied that on the day she is hungry she gives him more. On the day she's not hungry she gives less.

 

So how does she know how much he should eat.?

  India Emerging As A Global Healthcare Destination By Christine Macguire Health is vital for ethical, artistic, material and spiritual development of man. It is very certain that of all the gains, the gains of health are the highest and the best. Traveling abroad for treatment has been an age-old practice. In ancient Greece, pilgrims and patients came from all over the Mediterranean to the sanctuary of the healing god, Asklepios, at Epidaurus. There were spiritual values attached to traveling for getting cured in ancient times that only a few of the privileged lot could afford. With the passage of time and the ease of traveling, people have started traveling offshore in search of faster, cheaper and safer surgical procedures. Relatively new to the oriental part of the globe, medical tourism has been an age old phenomena in the West and has been supported by highly-developed indigenous health care systems and constant improvements in technology. By upgrading the technology, ga...

 A Look At The Food For Diabetes  by  Javier Fuller Controlling diabetes does not mean that you are advised to starve. You have specific foods to eat and specific food to avoid so that your blood sugar level is maintained. You can go ahead with your food habits, but your position is like that of a horse. Gallop forward, but well controlled by the jeans. You will be put on restrictions with regard to certain types of foods, but you will begin to taste some of the items, which you have not hitherto been fortunate enough to taste. This change in food pattern will be for the better, diabetes or no diabetes. When you study the recipes for diabetes, you will realize the importance of diet in your life. Hitherto, what you have been doing? Dump into the stomach anything that appeals to your eyes, anytime. Since you need to control your diabetes, don't be emotional in your food habits. Be factual and realistic. For treating diabetes, you can not say with certainty that this one is...

 Diabetic Diet Plan Guide by Sanchit A diabetic diet plan to suit your taste buds- that's easy Having been diagnosed as diabetic, you feel that it's the end of the road for your taste buds; bland food would be the norm from now on. If you really think so, then you are truly mistaken, for a proper diabetic diet plan would ensure that you also get to satisfy your tasty food cravings. A  diabetic diet plan  for the start has to be well balanced. That effectively means that you can have most things but in a very regulated manner. Obviously, the emphasis would be more on fibrous diet and less on a diet that's rich in carbohydrates and fats. As you constantly have to keep track of your blood sugar levels, any irresponsible behavior (eating loads of junk food) can be disastrous. After all, your health is your prerogative. The easiest way to keep your blood sugar levels at optimum levels would be by breaking up the three big meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) into 5-6 smaller ...
