If anyone has questions about healthfood's...

  1. Feel free to ask. I can help answer questions about antioxidant's, teas from green tea to kombucha, juicing(fruits and vegetables not roids), detox/cleansing. If I can't answer your question I can easily look it up.:good
     
  2. If you want to do a detox one of the more popular ones is the "Master Cleanse". It's a very hard one to do, considering you don't eat wile your on it. As for ther prepakeged I would look at the ingredients to make sure it is something that will be healthy and not just some generic laxative.

    As for the dried fruit, try and finding some that have no added sugar, and mix them up with granola and almonds to have as a snack.

    As for the loosing weight, your bloodtype will have alot to do with wich foods best suit your needs.

    Explain.
     
  4. Basically different blood types react to certain foods. For example an O blood type tends to require more proteins, A does better off of vegetables ect.

    Flax, oils. Glucosamine, controitin, fish oils are good for ligaments and joints.

    I appreciate you helping people (because I might have a future question), but I've spent a lot of time in the past year learning about nutrition and training and eating depending on your blood type is nothing more than a fad. They actually recommend to never have some of these things: meat, chicken, dairy, Carboyhydrates, and for one of the blood types (forget which); they actually suggested for them to become vegetarians. Just eat a healthy balanced diet that includes carbs, proteins, and fats... don't drastically decrease any of them.
     
  9. :good Thanks for the help.
     
  10. I do agree that you should not go completly vegitarian or vice versa. I do however think it will have more staying power then other fad diets due to the fact that you have more options. For example the anoying Atkins diet had their own brand of foods that tasted like cardboard, and bread companies cut bread slices thinner called it lo carb and made god knows how much money.

    Vegeterian is really bad for boxing in general, unless you have a serious replacement for all those proteins, or if your trying to cut some muscle(but why would you do that).
     
  13. That I do not know.

    I read somewhere that everything high on anti-inflammants and anti-oxydants helps a lot, because it's often an inflammation that makes a joint hurt. Fish oil, but also flax, hemp, sesame, sunflower, etc. Almonds, hazelnuts, etc. Blackberries, elderberries, currants, blueberries, strawberries, cherries, grapes, acai, etc. Spinach, kale, cauliflower, sprouts, cabbage, radishes, etc. Garlic. Tomatoes. Some spices like cinnamon, turmeric, mustard.

    Knock yourself out. Available in your local supermarket :D
