goji berries infoAdvice and Tips on a Healthy Diet
What is a healthy diet? Now if we go with the definition, it states - Healthy diet as a diet that mostly consists of or stress on a diversity of vegetables, whole grains, fruits and low-fat milk products. A healthy diet usually means to consume vital nutrients by eating appropriate amount from all food groups.
However it is to be noted that since "Human Nutrition" is very complex subject, a healthy diet differ from person to person and also depends upon individual's genetic development. Developing healthy eating habits isn't as restrictive as many people imagine.
The most vital principle of healthy diet is to consume a wide variety of foods as possible. Moreover, always try to preserve a key balance between calorie you consume and calorie you expenditure. In simple terms never try to have or eat more food than your body can utilize, or else you will increase your weight.
Here are some of the other most important guiding principles that you need to be familiar with in order to have a healthy diet:
1. Always try to consume high-fiber foods like fruits, vegetables, beans, as much as possible. They are good source of carbohydrates and also have low calories.
2. Make sure you consume less sugary foods and refined-grain products. This is because most of the sugary foods are high in fat and as a result they have more calories.
3. Ensure and commit yourself to consume vitamin and mineral only from foods rather than consuming it from supplements. It has been proved that supplements cannot nutrients and provide synergy that many nutrients require to be efficiently used in the body.
4. Always have adequate calcium intake. As calcium is one of the most essential elements for strong bones/teeth, so make sure to consume calcium from low-fat sources, like skim milk.
5. Reduce the intake of animal fat, which is rich in saturated fat, and further boosts blood cholesterol levels. Instead of having saturated fat foods try to have lean meats, and nonfat or low-fat dairy products.
Today, the importance of having a healthy diet just can't be ignored. A healthy diet aids in improving your overall health and well being. It also results in healthy body and this indirectly can help you feel better, stay athletic and active, and assist you fight stress. As per recent studies, it has also been observed that healthy diet can further avert heart disease, decrease the threat of coronary artery disease and acts as the base of longevity. It is important to understand that no single food can actually offer all the necessary nutrients that the body needs, so consuming a proper and healthy diet are important for healthy body and mind.

Fennel - Delicious and Nutritious
I love Fennel (the bulb) � which surprises me because I never liked aniseed (even when, at 16, Pernod was the only thing to get drunk on in friends� parents� drinks cabinets!). I�m not that keen on liquorice either and the flavour of fennel is definitely in that taste area � only for me at least � sufficiently different to be one of my very favourite veggies.
What to do with it - the raw...
I particularly like it raw, either grated or shredded on a mandolin in a green salad or added as an exotic twist to homemade, dairy-free coleslaw, so... white cabbage, carrots, onions and fennel with a dressing made from a blend of sunflower oil, apple cider vinegar and almond butter. Absolutely delicious.
...and the cooked.
If I eat it cooked, I like to sweat it in a teeny bit of oil with leeks, onion, garlic and plenty of dried tarragon. The tarragon does something really special to the flavour of the fennel and leeks. A divine combination. I introduced my gourmet father to this recipe back in April and he has served it at dinner parties twice since then - only he uses naughty butter instead of oil. It really is delicious and I urge you to try it.
I also like it as a soup. Again it�s a doddle to do. Simply place half a red onion and a crushed, chopped clove of garlic into a pan with a splash of olive oil. Gently fry until they start to go clear then add a roughly chopped fennel bulb to the pan along with a Marigold organic, yeast- and gluten-free vegetable stock cube and some water. Bring to the boil and then allow to simmer for about 7 minutes. I take it off the heat at that point and using a hand blender, blend it in the saucepan, sat on the chopping board. Blend until smooth and return to the heat for a minute before serving with a handful of sprouted seeds sprinkled on top.
How about roasted? Not the best way to cook from a nutrition point of view I know, but if you go really easy on the oil and keep the chunks small enough to reduce the cooking time, it�s delicious chopped and roasted with chunks of red and yellow pepper, whole garlic cloves and slices of onion, sprinkled over with rosemary.
So that�s a few ideas on what you can do with it, but what does it do with you?
Well, it�s an excellent source of fibre, so aside from helping lower high cholesterol levels, there is also evidence that it can help diarrhoea or constipation too, so if you suffer from IBS you should try it. And since fibre also removes potentially carcinogenic toxins from the colon, fennel bulb may also be useful in preventing colon cancer. Like broccoli, it contains those all important phytonutrients including one called �anethole� the primary component of its oil. Believed to enhance immunity, anethole has been shown to reduce inflammation and to help prevent the occurrence of cancer. It seems to be able to protect the liver from toxic chemical injury. At 100mg per 100g, it contains just a little less calcium than full-fat milk (118mg per 100g*) except unlike milk, fennel is very low in cholesterol. It is a great source of Vitamin C, Folate, Potassium and Manganese and a good source of Niacin, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Copper.
So if you are having a BBQ this weekend, how about making a batch of the coleslaw suggested above or adding some fennel to your green salad. Or even skewering chunks of it with organic chicken and red and yellow pepper to make some delicious kebabs. Don't forget to invite me round!

Olive Garden Coupons on eBay
Finding restaurant coupons isn't all that hard. Everyone knows you can look in the newspaper, perhaps the mail. Another good source that sometimes goes unnoticed is EBay.
The first step in finding bargains is knowing how to search for the many different types of coupons or gift cards available. The other thing to consider is how much you are willing to pay. Some coupons on EBay are actually gift cards. So to save money, you need to buy them at a discount.
When using EBay, the way you do the search will generate far different results. For example: typing Olive Garden Coupons, will generate a result of all items with all three words in any order. Type it in quotes as: "Olive Garden Coupons" then you will only get listings with the phrase exactly as you typed it. If you are seeing more results than you expected, you can filter the search by bid amount or category, etc. There are several advanced search commands available to narrow your search down to what you're looking for.
The second part of the search is a little tougher, everyone has a price that they are willing to pay. I find the key for me is deciding my top price before I start bidding. If you are bidding on coupons, consider how much your saving, along with how hard it is to find a particular coupon. If you are bidding on gift cards the math is easier to do, consider how reputable the seller is along with how much cash value the gift card has. Just don't let yourself get caught up in a bidding war, which could lead to paying more than you should have. Good Luck.
J Cox runs several websites designed to locate coupons and bargains of all types. A good example is http://www.coupon-restaurant.com/ for a good source of coupons.
