7 Health Benefits of Cheese

No matter what type of cheese you eat (cheese in a can and cheese whiz don't count) you are doing your body good. Cheese doesn't get enough credit for it's health benefits which include things like cancer prevention, bone strengthening, and cavity fighting - but the best part is that is also tastes great!

1. Nutrition - There is a very high concentration of essential nutrients in cheese including high quality proteins and calcium. There are also other elements in cheese such as phosphorous, zinc, vitamin A, riboflavin, and vitamin B12.

2. Cavity Prevention - Cheese is extremely high in its calcium content. This is the most important thing when it comes to strong teeth. In addition, cheese has a very low content of Lactose. Lactose is a substance that comes from food and can harm teeth (The older the cheese, the lower the Lactose levels). Eating certain varieties of cheese such as aged Cheddar, Swiss, Blue, Monterey Jack, Brie, Gouda, and processed American cheese immediately after a meal or as a snack has been proven to prevent tooth decay.

3. Cancer Prevention - Cheese contains substances called Conjugated Linoleic Acid and Sphingolipids that help prevent cancer. In addition the vitamin B in cheese is good for maintaining body functions and protecting the body from disease.

4. Weight Gain - Be careful if you are trying to loose weight - cheese contains a lot of natural fats which may cause weight gain. There are cheese which have a low-fat content that can be very healthy for you to eat and perfect for keeping your weight balanced. However, if you are trying to gain weight, whether its muscle weight, fat, or bone density, cheese is the healthy way to go. Cheese is full of protein, fat, calcium, and vitamins and minerals that keep muscles and bones strong and healthy. The vitamins and minerals are better for a balanced metabolism.

5. Bone Strength - Cheese is high in calcium content and rich in vitamin B. This is especially good for the bones of children, elderly people, and pregnant and lactating women for strengthening bones and cartilages. the vitamin B in cheese helps the body absorb and distribute calcium.

6. Osteoporosis - Since Osteoporosis is a deficiency diseased caused due to a lack of calcium, cheese is a perfect way to help the bone density of those suffering from Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can be treated with protein, calcium, and a high intake of vitamins and minerals. All three of these things are found abundantly in cheese.

7. High Blood Pressure - Sodium and cholesterol are the elements that are considered harmful in people with high blood pressure, and hypertensive people are told to avoid them. Cheese in this situation must be considered critically. The fat in cheese depends on the quality of the milk it was made with. Full fat or cream milk, or low fat or fat free milk will determine how high the fat content of the cheese is. Typically, high fat cheese are more popular because they taste better, but many low-fat cheese are being introduced to shelves. Make sure to look for the fat content in the cheese before you buy it. The sodium content in cheese depends on the amount of salt added to the milk before it was turned into cheese. There are low-sodium cheese that are helpful in reducing agents which are associated with heart disease. The content of vitamin B in cheese is also helpful for those with high blood pressure.

The Benefits of Green Tea


Green Tea has been dubbed for decades as the healthiest of all teas. The Chinese have always known that there was something special about this herbal drink since ancient times and has been used as a medicine in China for over 4,000 years.

But what exactly is so special about Green tea? It's health benefits extend beyond that of a normal heated beverage ranging from acting as a cure for headaches, to a cancer preventing agent.

Illness Prevention

The most prominent benefit that green tea offers is its effects. Antioxidants reduce the effects of free radicals (molecules that can age and destroy premature cells). Free radicals have the ability to cause illness and disease, so it is important to fight them with antioxidants. Vitamins C and E are also act as defences against free radicals.

Weight Loss

In November, 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the findings of a study by the University of Geneva in Switzerland which proved that green tea can also help those who are dieting. It was discovered that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea burned more calories than those who were given only caffeine.

Stress

Green tea has lower caffeine levels than tea like black tea, and is a great comforter during times of stress. Settle down with a hot cup of Green tea and become relaxed and stress-free.

Healthy Teeth

Green Tea has even become recognized as an agent that prevents tooth decay. Green tea has the ability to kill the bacteria that causes dental plaque.

Not only does green tea have many wonderful health and medicinal benefits, but it also tastes delicious. Try incorporating green tea into your diet more frequently and reap the rewards!

5 Reasons Why You Should Include Spinach in Your Diet


Spinach contains vitamins A, C, E, K, B1, B6, minerals like potassium, calcium, zinc, and so much more

Vitamin A helps with things like vision, gene transcription, immune function, embryonic development and reproduction, bone metabolism, haematopoiesis, skin health, reducing risk of heart disease, antioxidant activity. Vitamin C helps in the development of healthy gums and in protecting against infections. Additionally, it strengthens many parts of your body such as blood vessels and muscles. Vitamin E helps with the formation of muscle tissues and red blood cells. It also helps reduce the stress from exercise and reduces muscle damage. Vitamin K is important for blood clotting. Vitamin B1, or thiamin, helps fuel your body by converting blood sugar into energy. This keeps your mucous membranes healthy and is essential for nervous system, cardiovascular and muscular function. Potassium is a mineral that helps the kidneys function normally. It is also crucial to heart function and plays a key role in skeletal and smooth muscle contraction, making it important for normal digestive and muscular function, too. The body stores more than 99 percent of its calcium in the bones and teeth to help make and keep them strong. Your body needs calcium to help muscles and blood vessels contract and expand, to secrete hormones and enzymes and to send messages through the nervous system.

-Spinach Helps Prevent Cancer

Research shows that spinach contains over a dozen phytonutrients. These phytonutrients have certain properties that can help fight cancer. Some researchers have used spinach extracts to reduce the occurrence of skin cancer in animals, and lessened cell division in stomach cancer cells. The risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer may also be reduced with the consumption of spinach.

-Spinach Promotes Better Cardiovascular Health

A substance called homocysteine is believed to be an important marker of heart disease and high levels are associated with increased risk of stroke. However folate, a component of spinach, helps neutralize the harmful homocysteine.

-Helps with Arthritis

If you suffer from arthritis spinach may be able to help you. Spinach contains anti-inflammatory nutrients to help the pain of arthritis.


-Spinach Helps Prevent Eye Diseases

Spinach may be able to help prevent macular degeneration, and even cataracts. Spinach contains lutein which, in many government studies, is shown to protect against both macular degeneration and cataracts, which cause blurriness and even blindness, mostly in the elderly.

There are too many good things about spinach to not add it to your diet. Go ahead and start eating that green vegetable whenever you can. The rewards will be invaluable.
