The road to a healthy lifestyle is through the proper amount of nutrition. An imbalance of such may cause poor health, fatigue, and a weakened immune system. In order to have the well-balanced nutrients needed to maintain health, individuals must have amino acids, vitamins, fatty acids, sugars, etc. In addition to everyday well-being, nutrition plays a very important role in sports performance. The reason is that the proper amount of nutrition improves strength, energy, and agility. Some experts believe that nutrition may also be linked to longevity.

With so many quick-fix diets and fads offered to us by the mass media promising to be the next best thing to bring about an effective and safe weight loss, it is no wonder the public is left confused as to which one to choose. Sadly, this permits for exploitation from the many marketers and charlatans out to make a fast buck at the expense of the vulnerable.  Even the so-called natural approaches for safe weight loss solutions are unrealistic, impractical and often pricey or are just the same one-dimensional gimmick cures disguised as holistic solutions.

It is the anti-aging and health re-vitalizing power of a little Brazilian fruit, now declared the new #1 superfood: the acai berry. Before this recent finding, the blueberry was acclaimed as the most nutrient-rich food. It had been recognized for its extremely powerful antioxidant properties.  Antioxidants are essential for full body health. In the natural process of the body's workings, cells are constantly metabolizing. This creates byproducts called free radicals. Free radicals are molecules missing an electron. A free radical will seek to stabilize itself and by stealing an electron from a healthy cell. This creates yet another free radical, causing more cell damage. The process snowballs as we age and eventually we begin to feel its effects at around age 35 or 40 - the domino effect ...

The cause of your endless weight-loss struggles might be right in front of you: the empty fruit bowl on your kitchen table… Fruit Isn’t a “Free Pass” The most dangerous paleo mistake people make? Fruit is delicious, but it isn’t a “free pass” in your diet. A lot of people treat it that way though. They’re strict about ditching unhealthy processed foods.
