Another Great Dieting Idea
The cucumber is a natural diuretic. It is helpful in dissolving kidney stones. It is exceptionally rich in potassium, the "youth mineral," which promotes flexibility in the muscles and give rejuvenation of the skin and facial appearance. Cucumber juice is also a good source of silicon, sulfur, and trace elements, making it a beautifier of the hair and nails. Cucumbers provide about 250 mg of vitamin A per pound. However,it is important to note that you must use the skin because that's where you find the Vitamin A. When you add carrots you are adding 10,000 IU of pro-vitamin A which your body will safely convert o vitamin A.
It's been discovered that Cucumber is good for the following conditions:
Acne, Arthritis, Eczema, Fever, Fluid retention, Hair loss, High Blood Pressure, kidney disorders, Psoriasis, Weight Loss.
Dr. Walker in his book "Diet and Salads": says that one pint a day seems to be the least that will show perceptible results, so try at least 1/2 to 1 gallon.
Take 2 cucumbers and add 2-3 carrots,if you want to use more you can do that, and either blend them or use a juicer which is better because you will have very little pulp and you will have all the vitamin in it.

New Ideas for weight loss
- When food is cooked, canned or processed, then the sugars are converted into starches.
- Starch and sugar carbohydrates require an alkaline digestion. (such as breads, candies, cereals).
- Do not start a raw food diet suddendly. It's better to make changes gradually, but as quick as possible, in a consistent way.
- Eat raw foods one, two or three days a week and the rest of the week plan carefully what combination of meals you want to have but drink a lot of liquids, can be one or two glasses of raw vegetable juices. Next time I will expand more on the juices.

Recipe for Weight Loss
Here is one:
Everyone loves salads and you can always add whatever other vegetables you want.
Carrots, 2 tablespoonfuls
Lettuce, 2 tablespoonfuls
Tomato, 1/2 medium sized
Celery 2 tablespoonfuls
Red Cabbage, 2 tablespoonfuls
Radishes, 5 small
Apple, 1 large - shredded, preferably Delicious
Avocado, 1/2 medium sized
all of these finely grated, chopped divided into small segments
For garnish - 1 date, chopped walnuts, maraschino cherry, watercress
Arrange in layer beginning with carrots, one top of the other up up to and including a banana. Place radishes around the side of the dish, grated apple in the center, avocado slices around sides, one date quartered placed cross-like in the center, nuts sprinkled over top and maraschino cherry in center. Garnish around edges with watercress.
I work at a hospital and they have salads like this one in which they sprinkle the walnuts and they use a salad dressing like Thousand Island, but for best results use lemon and salt, less calories for you. I hope this works for you. I will be adding more recipes. Come back and see or ask me for more please leave your name and email, thanks.
Other Important helpful Ideas about Weight Loss
What is obesity? Obesity is an excess of body fat; too much is being stored. It is also consuming more calories than one can use. All it takes is for you to be 20% overweight.
The average human body has 30-40million fat cells. That is too many for some of us. It has been said that when a person makes an extra fat cell, in order to store some extra fat,he keeps that cell for the rest of his (her) life - even though he or she may remove the fat from it.
Poor diet, fatty foods, and a lack of exercise are common causes of overweight. Other factors include diabetes, hypoglycemia, endocrine glands which do not function properly, boredom, tension, and love of food. Another factor is inadequate intake or absorption of key nutrients, which causes fat to be stored instead of used.
Obesity can be involved with hormonal imbalance in the hypothalamus, pituitary, pineal, thyroid, adrenals or pancreas.
I will be including more information in my next article, recipes and ideas on how get rid of unwanted weight. Stay tuned.
More ideas on dieting
Dr. Hans Diehl says: "Don't become a slave to the scale, checking it daily for immediate results to problems that took years to develop. Get started on a healthful program, and be patient".
Dr. Neal Bernard says: "If you are not controlling the amount of fat that you eating, there is little point in worrying about sugar.
Some Heavy Statistics
Americans, on the average, are heavier than the citizens of any other major nation. Excessive weight is one of our leading public health problems, placing more than 34 million Americans at serious medical risk.
What are the risks involved in being overweight? Plenty. Overweight individuals are laying the foundation for almost every degenerative disease except osteoporosis.
Consider this:
Face 3 times the risk of heart disease
4 times more likely to have high blood pressure
Accept a 5 times greater risk of developing diabetes
Live with a 5 times greater likeli-hood of having elevated blood cholesterol
Face 6 times the chance of developing gallbladder disease.
Will experience more cancer of the colon, rectum, breast, cervix, uterus, ovaries, and prostate than average weight individuals.
Next time I will be considering other factors and will include some recipes so come back and read more.
A lot of us live our lives like penned animals. Built to move, too often we put ourselves in a cage. We have bodies designed for racing across the savannas, but we live a lifestyle designed for migrating from the bed to the breakfast table; to the car seat; to the office chair; to the restaurant booth; to the living room couch and back to the bed.
It was not always this way. Not long ago in the United States, a man who worked on a farm did the equivalent of 15 miles of jogging every day; and his wife did the equivalent of 7 miles of jogging.
Today, our daily obligations of work and home keep us tied to our chairs, and if we want exercise, we have to seek it out.
In fact, health experts insist that obesity problem is probably caused at least as much by lack of physical activity as by eating too much. Hence, it is important that people need to move around.
However, that does not mean that a lap or two around the old high school track will offset a daily dose of donuts. Exercise alone is not very efficient, experts say. They contend that if you just exercise and do not change your diet, you may be able to prevent weight gain or even lose a few pounds for a while.
Nevertheless, it is not something that you are likely to sustain unless exercise is part of an overall program. The more regularly you exercise, the easier it is to maintain your weight. Here is what to do every day to make sure that you get the exercise you need.
1. Get quality Zzzs.
Make sure that you get adequate sleep. Good sleep habits are conducive to exercise, experts point out. If you feel worn out during the day, you are less likely to get much physical activity during the day.
In addition, there is evidence that people who are tired tend to eat more, using food as a substance for the rest they need.
2. Walk the walk.
It is probably the easiest exercise program of all. In fact, it may be all you ever have to do, according to some professional advices of some health experts.
Gradually build up to at least 30 minutes of brisk walking five times a week. Brisk walks themselves have health and psychological benefits that are well worth the while.
3. Walk the treadmill.
When the weather is bad, you might not feel like going outdoors. But if you have a treadmill in the television room, you can catch up on your favorite shows while you are doing your daily good turn for your weight-maintenance plan.
Most of us watch television anyway, and indoor exercise equipment enables anyone to turn a sedentary activity into a healthy walk.
4. Seize the time.
Excuses aside, lack of time is certainly a limiting factor in most lifestyles. That is why health experts suggest a basic guideline for incorporating exercise into your schedule.
