Hate carbohydrate vegetables? think again…

OR

What will be your reaction if I tell you that you are a born-herbivore? Don’t tell me you hate carbohydrate vegetables because for a fact, your body is designed to eat grass! Before you over-react, let us first analyze our own anatomy.

From Dr.Terry Shintani’s book, I have found out that the anatomy of a human being can give astonishing facts about what we should be eating. Humans have 28 of 32 teeth that are clearly designed for eating grains and vegetables. The eight front teeth or what we call the incisors are designed for cutting vegetables. The rear 10 molars and pre-molars on each jaw are intended to be used for grinding grains and vegetables. The remaining four “canine” teeth are uncertainly apt for meat eating. Clearly, with all those signs, we should say that we are primarily vegetarians; hence, there is no problem if you include carbohydrate vegetables on your diet (whether you like it or not!)

Well then, another thing to consider is that, humans are not equipped to catch game. Do you have claws or the reflexes to pounce on prey? Come on! You are not a born-meat- eater, so don’t push it. What we are designed for is collecting and gathering plant foods, just like our vegetarian primate relatives.

For me to convince you more on making it habit to eat carbohydrate vegetables, let’s talk about the anatomy of your jaw (probably mine too.) Carnivores have inflexible jaw joints so as they can shear flesh up and down. The jaw joints are at the same level as the molar teeth. Herbivores (that’s what you are), on the other hand, have loose jaw joints for side-to-side motion, allowing you to chew and grind plant-based foods. Herbivores and humans apparently have their jaw joints above the line of molar teeth.

Getting closer, let us explore the path taken by the food you eat. Would you believe that your intestines is also like those of the herbivores? This might finally convince you to fill your refrigerator with the best carbohydrate vegetables later. Humans have intestinal lengths of ten to 11 times the body length, now compare this to these. The intestines of carnivores are short since animal-based foods are solid and travel slowly through the intestinal tract. Small intestines are only three to six times the body length. Herbivores, conversely, have intestinal lengths ten to 12 times the body length. There are yet you need to know about the anatomy of human being so you will be convinced to quit from being a meat-eater. These will include the salivary amylase, organ processes, and the necessary nutrients, including carbs. If you hate carbohydrate vegetables, think again.

The antagonized carbs!

Having a tight diet for losing weight? When we were kids, we didn’t care about these diets. However, as we get older, we tend to be so conscious about the food we eat and how we look. You might have even stared at the mirror this morning and told yourself: “you are what you eat.. and it’s your fault!”. That may sound a little too bitter as you glance on the little bellies on your tummy. You were not as fit as you were before. So what happened? Some might say, it’s about too much carbs. No way!

Among the biggest problems about diet for losing weight is the fact that carbohydrates is being “antagonized” as bad nutrients. There is a lot of misinformation about carbohydrates definition over the last few years, as some popular literatures on dieting promote the benefits of protein while ignoring the use of carbohydrates. So what do most of us miss about carbs?

You must have heard about South Beach, Atkins, and other low-carbohydrate diets haven’t you? For the record, these diet programs have led many Americans to believe that carbohydrates are "bad". Most Americans were deceived that carbohydrates is the source of their ugly flab and even the horrible obesity epidemic.

I’ve got one basic truth to tell you now. Carbohydrates have been the foundation of health for the human race, and as we all know from the carbohydrates’ definition as the “nail” holding on your basic health needs, we are sure that not every carbohydrate is bad at all. Meaning, there are good carbs and bad carbs. Apparently with your diet for losing weight, the one that you need to get rid of is the latter.

By far digested carbohydrates from white rice, white bread, sugared sodas, pastries, and other highly processed foods may, indeed, contribute to weight gain and interfere with weight loss. On the other hand, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, and other sources of intact carbohydrates are the ones doing the opposite—they uphold good health.

Do not be misled by the blanket verdicts on the dangers of carbohydrates because of the antagonizing carbohydrates’ definition that you may get from an unreliable literature. Diet for losing weight should not include getting rid of carbs, otherwise, your brain will not function well. Good carbohydrates are always part of a healthy diet. They are needed for proper organ function.

epidemic of A H1N1 virus

Novel influenza A (H1N1) has been all over the news for the few months. This is the flu virus of swine origin that was first detected in Mexico and the United States some time in March and April this year.

The first novel H1N1 patient in the US was confirmed by laboratory testing at CDC on April 15, 2009. The second patient was confirmed on April 17, 2009. From then, experts confirmed that the virus was spreading from person-to-person. It’s thought to spread in the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread; mainly through the coughs and sneezes of people who are infected by the virus.On April 22, CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center to alert the public health office and so on April 26, 2009, US Government declared a public health emergency.

At the onset of the outbreak , an increasing number of U.S. states have reported cases of novel H1N1 influenza with associated hospitalizations and deaths. June 3, 2009, all 50 states in the US and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico were reporting cases of novel H1N1 infection as well. While nationwide U.S. influenza surveillance systems determine that overall influenza activity is decreasing in the country continuously, novel H1N1 outbreaks are ongoing in parts of the U.S., in some cases with intense activity.

Nonetheless, people should not worry for most patients who have become ill with novel H1N1 in the United States have recovered without requiring medical treatment and have experienced typical flu symptoms.

A H1N1 virus and SARS

Everyone seems to be cautious about the current scare about the epidemic of A H1N1 virus. Some may even blame it to the poor pigs (come on! it's not their fault!). Anyway, i believe that there is always a way out like how we went through a certain epidemic virus about six years ago, the so-called SARS.

SARS or Severe acute respiratory syndrome is a respiratory illness caused by a virus. This was first reported in Asia in 2003. Many people were trembling with fear for several months before the outbreak ended. Yes, it has ended, and i believe that today's H1N1 virus epidemic will end soon as well.

COMPARISON AND DISTINCTION

SARS can be life-threatening like A H1N1. Both seems to spread mainly by close person-to-person contact.

Symptoms for SARS include:

• A high fever
• Headache
• Body aches
• A dry cough
• Pneumonia, later on

Symptoms for A H1N1 virus include :

(excerpts http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1flu/qa.htm)

In children, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

• Fast breathing or trouble breathing
• Bluish or gray skin color
• Not drinking enough fluids
• Severe or persistent vomiting
• Not waking up or not interacting
• Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
• Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough

In adults, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
• Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
• Sudden dizziness
• Confusion
• Severe or persistent vomiting
