			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Healthy eating isn’t just about how you prepare your dishes but also about what ingredients you use.<br />
A good place to start is to learn your food groups. Vegetables for example are not all alike.  Different types contain different amounts of nutrients. You should think of the various types of vegetables as five different subgroups.  These subgroups include dark green vegetables, such as romaine lettuce, broccoli, and spinach and turnips.</p>
<p>Then there are the orange vegetables, for example carrots, pumpkins and sweet potatoes. The next subgroup includes dry beans and peas, such as kidney beans, black beans, white beans, tofu, lentils and soybeans.<br />
<span id="more-859"></span><br />
Then you have your starchy vegetables, which include corn, potatoes and green peas and the final group houses the likes of mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, cauliflower, cabbage, cucumbers, eggplants, asparagus and zucchini.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-860" title="healthy foods" src="http://www.healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/healthy-foods-300x234.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="234" /><br />
As well as vegetables, there is also a variety of fruits available that should be added to your diet in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. These are also very different in terms of what vitamins and nutrients they contain.</p>
<p>Mixing an assortment of fruits and berries is a great way to get all of the daily nutrients needed instead of just a few.  Whether you purchase the fruits fresh or in a can, dried or frozen, the likes of apples, avocado, pineapples, oranges, melons, plums, papaya, pears and berries are a must if you wish to maintain a healthy lifestyle</p>
<p>Fruit juices and homemade or store bought smoothies are also a great way to get your daily dose of fruit, just be sure to purchase freshly squeezed juices or smoothies that contain all natural ingredients.  Carbonated juices just won’t give you the same health benefits and such juices are very high in calories and unwanted fatty sugars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/resize-of-resize-of-resize-of-407798_f5201.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-278" title="muscle building" src="http://healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/resize-of-resize-of-resize-of-407798_f5201.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Choosing the perfect high protein, muscle building foods is the most important aspect of your diet. The right foods will not only contribute to strengthen muscle, but also increase your overall health.</p>
<p>Since the body depends on the nutrients from the <a href="http://www.healthheap.com/category/food">food </a>you eat to repair and build muscle, connective tissue etc and deficiency of such foods can directly affect your body abilities to build muscle, and restoration from stressful workouts.</p>
<p>Although there are number of foods to choose from, but only a handful of muscle building foods that contain quality protein portion are there in real mean.</p>
<p><strong>High protein diets</strong></p>
<p>Diets lower in saturated fat and contain high amounts of quality protein are known as high protein diets or &#8220;complete proteins&#8221;, because they contain all types of amino acids which body needs to build muscle. In addition, the best muscle building foods have a high biological value (BV) rating, meaning their proteins can be easily digested and utilized by the body due to the simple configuration of the amino acids.</p>
<p><span id="more-277"></span>Here is a list of the best high protein foods, essential for your muscle building.</p>
<p><strong>Fish</strong></p>
<p>Fish is a perfect high protein food that should be a regular part of your diet. <a href="http://www.healthheap.com/proven-health-benefits-of-fish-and-fish-oil.html">Fish contains</a> high amount of quality protein, almost no carbohydrates, and little saturated fat.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/istock_000004140993xsmall21.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-279" title="fish for muscle building" src="http://www.healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/istock_000004140993xsmall2-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></a></p>
<p>Cold water fish varieties are most beneficial to eat such as salmon, trout and sardines. Fish, in spite of an excellent source of protein are best source of omega 3 fatty acids as well. As compare to pork or beef, fish digest more easily and have a high BV rating. Fish is highly nutritious, containing sufficient amounts of minerals like iron, zinc and calcium.</p>
<p><strong>Kidney Beans</strong></p>
<p>Although not generally considered as a high protein food, beans are a delicious highly nutritious food that draws attention of anyone, trying to build muscle.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/11902079221.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-280" title="kidney beans" src="http://www.healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/1190207922-300x242.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="242" /></a></p>
<p>They are an excellent source of quality protein, and unlike other muscle building foods, contain adequate amounts of fiber. Kidney beans contain a whopping 14 grams of protein, and 11 grams of fiber per cup. These are extremely low in fats and rich in folate, manganese, iron, phosphorus, copper and potassium.</p>
<p><strong>Sweet Potatoes</strong></p>
<p>Sweet potatoes are a wonderful diet rich in potassium and antioxidants, which are necessary for building muscles. When you exercise, your muscles produce free radicals, an <a href="http://www.healthheap.com/tag/antioxidant">antioxidant</a> can help to neutralize those free radicals and repair muscle tissue.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/sweetpotato1.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-281" title="sweetpotato" src="http://www.healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/sweetpotato-300x225.gif" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Potassium-rich foods such as sweet potatoes and banana also help to counter the effects of acid-producing foods, such as meats, some dairy products etc, which can progressively loss the muscle mass.</p>
<p><strong>Low Fat Dairy</strong></p>
<p>Low fat cottage cheese, yogurt, and milk are good high protein diets. Each contains sufficient quantity of necessary protein. These are relatively cheap diets and also available in all seasons.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/resize-of-resize-of-dairy1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-282" title="low fat dairy" src="http://www.healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/resize-of-resize-of-dairy-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Yogurt has the supplementary benefit of live bacterial cultures, which are vital for digestion. If none of these products is allergen for you, include them in your diet. Consume organic diary products whenever possible because most of the dairy products have a high biological value and known as excellent source of iodine, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B, potassium and zinc.</p>
<p>According to the RDA recommendations, you should get 1 gram of protein for every 2 pounds of bodyweight. This minimal level is for average person, who is not active enough and of course, someone who is trying to build muscles not sedentary. Recent data showed that active people need much more protein.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/resize-of-provillus2_men1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-270" title="Provillus for men" src="http://www.healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/resize-of-provillus2_men-281x300.jpg" alt="" width="281" height="300" /></a>Provillus is considered to be the <strong>best hair loss product</strong>, that claims to help men and women retain and re-grow lost hair. It includes ingredients that are found in other hair loss cures also. There are separate Provillus formulations for women and men. Women’s capsules contain B6, biotin, PABA, magnesium and horsetail extract, which is considered an effective antioxidant.</p>
<p><strong>Formula for men</strong></p>
<p>“Male pattern baldness” is the common term for Androgenic Alopecia. It makes up at least 95% of all hair loss conditions in men. An over production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is one of the key causes. Mechanism of Provillus is to block production of DHT and helps to re-grow new hair.</p>
<p>Nutrients that are essential for the growth of healthy, thick hair are supplied by this formulation. One of the secrete ingredients, Saw Palmetto, works to reduce DHT and 5 alpha-reductase. Receptor sites that are needed for the absorption of DHT are actually blocked. In essence, hair growth is promoted by blocking DHT.</p>
<p><span id="more-267"></span>A few months ago, Provillus for men consisted of a lotion and supplement capsules. The principal active substances in the lotion were minoxidil (5%) and azelaic acid (5%). Minoxidil was the first substance approved by the FDA in the U.S. to treat male pattern baldness and it has since been approved in many other countries of the world.</p>
<p><strong>Women formulation</strong></p>
<p>Although not as common as in men, female pattern baldness is actually a worse situation than most people realize. Most women suffer hair loss during menopause when there are many hormonal changes taking place.</p>
<p>Healthy hair growth needs a favorable environment in the scalp, which Provillus provides during usage. It brings the necessary nutrition needed to normalize any damaged, dead hair follicles back into working order.</p>
<p>The women’s Provillus hair supplements are administered orally and are quickly absorbed by the body, working to promote healthy growth of new hair. In <strong>Provillus review</strong> following points have been noticed:</p>
<ul>
<li>Prevent hair loss and regenerate any hair loss that has already occurred.</li>
<li>It is easy to use.</li>
<li>Contains an FDA approved topical ingredient.</li>
<li>Equally beneficial for both men and women.</li>
<li>It has been rated as the #1 hair loss treatment available in the market.</li>
</ul>
