Comments: Not so long ago eggnog was made by blending raw eggs and cream
together to make a very rich, thick beverage. Rum and nutmeg were often
added to the adult drink. Today, food safety experts discourage drinking
or consuming raw eggs at any time. (Purchased eggnog contains pasteurized
eggs to eliminate any safety concerns.) Here, though, we've used soy drink
and bananas, making a delightful taste while dramatically boosting the
nutrition. Try it!
Soy drink is a lactose-free, milk-like product that has been fortified with
calcium and other nutrients to make it fairly comparable nutritionally to
cow's milk. It smells and looks slightly different than cow's milk, so
don't be surprised when you first open it! After opening, you need to use
it within 7 to 10 days.

The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his nutritional system for his cardiac patients, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific research on other nutritional studies. Examples of good foods include, lean beef, chicken breast, shellfish, ricotta cheese, peanuts, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like chickpeas, cucumbers and sprouts. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet system first devised by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not exactly a weight loss diet, although many 'zone dieters' discover that they actually lose body weight by following it. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to control the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is more wholesome than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears states that a body that is in 'the zone' is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't build up layers of fat. The most interesting technique of the zone system is to control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. Superfoods containing flavonoids (inlcudes cranberry, asparagus, soy and coriander) The nutrients known as flavonoids discovered in these natural foods are thought by nutritionalists to have properties in preventing cancer. Nutritionalists researching the properties of flavonoids think they may well have many healthy benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-candida and anti-platelet powers. A good number also help you lose weight, so should be included in your weight loss program. |
