Negative-calorie health foods - burn fat while making you feel full

How do you eat more while losing more weight at the same time? One of the best answers is to eat "negative-calorie" foods, meaning that these foods actually take more energy to digest than they deliver to your body. While these foods may be an important source of phytonutrients, they are not sources of fat-packing calories.

Because of their surprising lack of calories, these foods can essentially be consumed in unlimited quantities without you gaining weight (body fat). That works because your stomach senses when it is physically full, and it will trigger your brain to stop eating when you can't handle more food. You know that "I feel stuffed" feeling? That's your stomach (which has its own complex nervous system, by the way), telling your brain to tell you to stop eating.

This is why, believe it or not, the simple act of drinking a glass of water before each meal is a proven weight loss strategy. It fills your belly with water, thereby reducing the amount of space left for other foods. So your stomach gets full more quickly, triggering the "stop eating" signals in your brain.

Eating an apple before each meal also works in much the same way. This is true even though apples are not negative-calorie foods. But they are rich in water, and water takes up space in your stomach.

In fact, that's the common property among all negative-calorie foods: They all contain a lot of water locked in a fibrous matrix. Apples are essentially "water fruits," as are grapes and watermelons (hence the name). Many vegetables are also "water vegetables," meaning that they're loaded with water. Celery, for example, is the classic example of a water-rich negative-calorie food (see below).

As you read this list, remember that all foods contain calories, and that the term "negative-calorie food" is a bit of a misnomer. It refers to the effective net calories subtracted from your body through the preparation, eating, digestion and elimination of these foods. In other words, you expend more calories eating them than they deliver to your body.

The upshot is that the more water you consume in your foods, the more quickly you'll feel full and stop eating. Water, it turns out, is the most effective appetite control substance in the world.

So here's the list of the five best negative-calorie foods that you can enjoy every day as part of a healthy weight loss diet:

#1) Celery

One cup of celery (120g) contains only 19 calories. It takes far more than 19 calories to prepare, eat, digest and eliminate this one cup of celery, and that's what qualifies it as a negative-calorie food. You can eat as much celery as you want, and you won't gain body fat.

Even though celery contains effectively no contributing calories, it does contain powerful medicine. Celery juice is a powerful anti-inflammatory medicine (http://www.naturalnews.com/024135_celery_cancer_inflammation.html), and one of the active constituents in celery -- apigenin -- slashes the risk of ovarian cancer, too. (http://www.naturalnews.com/027449_cancer_ovarian_flavonoids.html)

#2) Lettuce, onions and greens

Lettuce is basically just structured water locked into a vegetable matrix. One cup of typical iceberg lettuce contains just 8 calories, meaning you can munch on this to your heart's delight and you'll never gain an ounce of body fat.

Much the same is true with onions, which contain only 64 calories per cup and yet deliver an amazing assortment of anti-cancer nutrients and immune-boosting medicine. (http://www.naturalnews.com/022364_pancreatic_cancer_onions.html).

Virtually all salad greens are "negative-calorie" foods, meaning you can eat as many of them as you want. But be careful:

Slopping on 300 calories worth of oily salad dressing changes the entire equation. While lettuce by itself is a negative-calorie food, salad dressing is mostly definitely NOT. In fact, salad dressings are often loaded with cheap soybean oils and even MSG (monosodium glutamate), a chemical taste enhancer linked to neurological damage and obesity. MSG is almost always found in "Ranch" flavor dressings, in particular.

#3) Grapefruit

Grapefruit technically isn't a negative-calorie food, but it deserves mention for another reason as you'll soon see. For starters, it's still fairly low in calories, delivering only 74 calories per cup.

But the best part is that grapefruit contains naringenin, an antioxidant derived from the bitter flavor of grapefruits, which triggers the liver to break down fat. So as part of a fat-loss strategy, grapefruit is truly essential to your daily diet!

Fascinating research about the fat-reducing properties of grapefruit was just published in the online journal PLoS ONE (http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0012399). It shows that naringenin activates two kinds of PPARs (dubbed PPAR-alpha and PPARy) and blocks LXR-alpha -- resulting in fasting-type benefits to the body (http://www.naturalnews.com/029684_naringenin_grapefruit.html).

"It is a process which is similar to the Atkins diet, without many of the side effects," Martin L. Yarmush, MD, PhD, director of the MGH Center for Engineering in Medicine and one of the paper's authors, said in a media statement. "The liver behaves as if fasting, breaking down fatty acids instead of carbohydrates."

Salam Aidiladha

Kepada semua pembaca dan pengikut Blog Rawatan Holistik,

Diucapkan selamat menyambut aidiladha 1433 H

Hayati dan dalami maksud Surah al-Kauthsar ini:

terjemahan :

[1]
Sesungguhnya Kami telah mengurniakan kepadamu (wahai Muhammad) kebaikan yang banyak (di dunia dan di akhirat).
[2]
Oleh itu, kerjakanlah sembahyang kerana Tuhanmu semata-mata, dan sembelihlah korban (sebagai bersyukur).
[3]
Sesungguhnya orang yang bencikan engkau, Dia lah yang terputus (dari mendapat sebarang perkara yang diingininya).  

Preview Buku : Zikir Penyembuh Kanser

Buku Zikir Penyembuh Kanser adalah hasil pengalaman penulisnya, Prof. Dr. H.M Amin Syukur dalam menghadapi saat getir melawan penyakit kanser yang dihadapinya (sebanyak 2 kali!) sehingga berjaya sembuh sepenuhnya.

Apa yang menarik, adalah beliau mengaplikasi sepenuhnya kaedah rawatan secara HOLISTIK iaitu menuruti sepenuhnya kaedah perubatan moden (kemoterapi dan radioterapi) disamping amalan-amalan zikir dan meditasi yang dibuat secara berterusan dan berjadual. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buku ini dibahagikan kepada empat bahagian: 

Bahagian Pertama: Kesediaan Saya Menjalani Hidup

Bahagian Kedua: Hidup mati Saya Melawan Kanser

Bahagian Ketiga: Saya Sembuh Kerana Zikir dan Doa Dengan Izin Allah SWT

Bahagian Keempat: Kesakitan Memberi Banyak Hikmah

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Antara yang menarik adalah teknik nafas zikrullah yang dilakukan beliau: 

 1) Mata dipejamkan 

 2) Membaca Bismillahirrahmanirrahim 

 3) Lidah dilekatkan ke langit 

 4) Ambil nafas perut (yakni perut kembung ketika menarik nafas) selama kiraan 7 hingga 10 

 5) Tahan nafas sepanjang penarikan (ketika menahan nafas, membaca doa-doa yang semampunya seperti Allahumma sihat, Allahumma normal atau lain-lain yang seupamanya) 

 6) Mengeluarkan nafas sambil membaca Allahuakbar 



Teknik visualisasi juga digunakan (untuk mengeluarkan penyakit dari tubuh): 

Sebelum melakukan pernafasan, konsep penyakit yang sedang dideritai itu perlu difahami. Sesudah itu penyakit tersebut dibayangkan atau divisualisasikan bentuknya, kemudian dikeluarkan dari tubuh. Caranya: 

1) Menarik nafas dengan teknik yang telah dikemukakan secara umum seperti di atas. menarik nafas sehingga puas dan menahannya di sepanjang penarikan tersebut. Ketika menahan nafas, ia disertai dengan permohonan (doa) semampunya dan kemudian mengeluarkan nafas panjang sambil mengucapkan Allaaaahu Akbar (agak panjang) sambil membayangkan sedang mengeluarkan penyakit kanser atau penyakit yang ada dari dalam tubuh 

 2) Kemudian setelah dikeluarkan dari tubuh, fikiran atau perasaan kita membayangkan adanya gunting yang memutus, sambil mengatakan dalam fikiran atau hati ; "putus", sambil membayangkan (visual) gunting memotong ke arah penyakit yang sedang dikeluarkan tersebut. Tujuan visual ini agar penyakit yang sudah keluar itu tidak akan kembali lagi

 (m/s 176-179) 



Pada saya buku ini harus dimiliki oleh setiap keluarga, yang mementingkan rawatan secara HOLISTIK, lebih-lebih lagi bagi penghidap kanser. Penulisnya telah membuktikan, tiada yang mustahil bagi kesembuhan penyakit kritikal seperti kanser (walaupun pada mulanya hanya dijangka hidup 3 bulan sahaja), asalkan dengan USAHA yang gigih serta TAWAKAL seseorang kepada Allah. Dialah (Allah) yang menurunkan penyakit, dan Dialah juga yang menyembuhkannya.

Gently detox with 4 superfoods to remove toxins from chem trails, heavy metals, noxious chemicals, pesticides, drugs, GMO by-products

Detoxification is the most crucial element in holistic medicine. No single drugs, herbs, natural medicine etc will work if no proper detoxification is carried out beforehand. So detox first, then only rejuvenate! remember this simple rule to cure any disease!

I found this interesting article from naturalnews to share with fellow holistic friends. Happy reading!

by: JB Bardot


Detoxing can be hard on your body and cause a wide variety of alarming side effects. After all, the substances being removed are usually pretty horrible, consisting of toxic chemicals from Teflon, vaccines, pesticide residues, pharmaceutical drugs, chemotherapy residue, heavy metals, aluminum, radiation, and even by-products from GMO foods. There are numerous detoxing agents and methods available -- some more costly than others -- and some producing very intense experiences with potentially dangerous side effects.

However, there are several ways to remove these noxious substances gently, with kindness to your system. These techniques may take a bit longer to achieve completion; however, if you have the time and are sensitive, or just don't like pain, one of these methods should work for you.

Pectin

Fruit pectin is probably the most gentle method of detoxing contaminants. Pectin comes from the fibrous portion of the fruit and is most commonly found in the pith of limes, lemons and other citrus fruit as well as in apples. Other sources of pectin are bananas, grapes, carrots, and cabbage. Pectin helps to release heavy metals, chemicals and other substances into the blood stream, where it binds to them and flushes them from the body. Simply eating fruit high in pectin will help to cleanse your system, or you can add a pectin product to a glass of water, organic grape juice or fresh veggie juice to speed the detox process. Beware of pectin sold in grocery stores, as some brands may contain MSG. Check health food stores for the best products.

Cilantro

The delicious culinary herb cilantro, happens to be one of the most effective and gentle detoxifiers of mercury, heavy metals and other toxic contaminants. You can buy cilantro juice at health food stores or simply include the fresh herb in your diet as pesto or seasoning to control the amount consumed and limit unwanted side effects. It's inexpensive and works without the addition of man-made chemicals. Cilantro also possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties, quickly reducing infection and inflammation as it works to clear your system.

Chlorella

Chlorella is a single cell algae sea vegetable that grows in fresh water. Some of the best cholrella reserves have come from Japan; however, use caution when buying Japanese chlorella due to possible exposure to radiation from Fukushima. Chlorella is an easy-to-digest superfood best known for being able to remove mercury and other heavy metals from the cells. Too much chlorella can produce side effects -- mostly in the digestive tract -- where it works best to bind to mercury, eliminating it. Start with the lowest quantity and work up slowly for a gentle detox.

Wheatgrass

Juicing fresh produce and grasses such as wheat or barley grass provides an excellent way to remove toxins from the system. Wheatgrass is high in nutritional content, and provides vitamins, minerals and all nine essential amino acids. Wheatgrass can be a powerful detox, so start slowly with only a small amount of juice to keep it gentle -- 1/2 ounce a day -- and work up to avoid symptoms.

Using gentle detoxing products requires that you repeat treatments over a period of time until all symptoms have cleared. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, muscle aches and pains, dizziness and fatigue. Additionally, detoxing can cause a flare-up in your condition temporarily. It's just the toxins leaving your system and should pass shortly. If side effects are severe, reduce the quantity of whatever you're using to detox. If the symptoms continue, stop and consult your natural health practitioner for further instructions.
