People who ate that amount ended up with lower blood pressure readings than those who ate white chocolate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;University of Cologne researcher Dr. Dirk Taubert, the study’s lead author, said the blood pressure reductions with dark chocolate were small but still substantial enough to potentially reduce cardiovascular disease risks, although study volunteers weren’t followed long enough to measure that effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting results&lt;br /&gt;The research involved just 44 people aged 56 through 73, but the results echo other small studies of cocoa-containing foods. Cocoa contains flavanols, plant-based compounds that also are credited with giving red wine its heart-healthy benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One problem is chocolate bars containing cocoa tend to have lots of calories, so Taubert and his colleagues tested small amounts containing just 30 calories each.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study appears in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association. It was funded by University Hospital in Cologne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Interactive&lt;br /&gt;The results are interesting but need to be duplicated in larger, more ethnically diverse populations, said Dr. Laura Svetkey, director of Duke University’s Hypertension Center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She stressed that the study results should not be viewed as license to gorge on chocolate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I would be as happy as the next person if I got to eat more chocolate,” she said, but cautioned that weight gain from eating large amounts of dark chocolate would counteract any benefits on blood pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chemical changes&lt;br /&gt;Study participants were otherwise healthy and mostly normal-weight German adults with mild high blood pressure or pre-hypertension, which includes readings between 120 over 80 and 139 over 89.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Average blood pressure at the start was about 147 over 86.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every day for 18 weeks, the volunteers were instructed to eat one-square portions of a 16-square Ritter Sport bar, or a similar portion of white chocolate. White chocolate doesn’t contain cocoa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Systolic blood pressure, the top number, fell an average of nearly three points and diastolic dropped almost two points in the dark chocolate group, compared with no change in blood pressure readings in the white chocolate group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tests suggested that steady exposure to dark chocolate prompted chemical changes that helped dilate blood vessels and regulate blood pressure, the researchers said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Participants were told not to eat other cocoa-containing products and to continue regular eating habits and activity levels. They also kept food diaries so researchers could see if other foods might have influenced the results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://recipesfordiabetics.blogspot.com/2007/07/two-kisses-can-reduce-blood-pressure.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22733816.post-5564516210206705001</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jul 2007 20:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-07-03T18:59:55.474-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Health news</category><title>Grilling can make your meat toxic</title><description>Grilling is recommended for people who are to avoid fats from cooked meat, fish and poultry by frying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This news article point us a fact that grilling can also make food toxic and can cause cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are suggestions however on what to do to minimize the risks. Take note of the tips so the next time you grill the meat or fish, you know what to do.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19417231/&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s the news from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19417231/&quot;&gt;MSNBC&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;If you like to sear your steak to a crisp, you could be playing with fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For people who are watching their weight, grilling lean meats, poultry and fish can be a low-calorie, low-fat alternative to frying. Unfortunately, the same grill — whether gas or charcoal — that gives food its mouth-watering barbecue taste can also turn your burger into a toxic meal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cooking over high flames turns chemicals found naturally in muscle meats and fish into cancer-causing substances known as heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Both have been linked to an increased risk of several cancers, including colorectal, breast and prostate cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HCAs develop through a series of reactions between the amino acids and other compounds in meat. High-temperature cooking — over 300 degrees Fahrenheit — and the length of time a food is heated trigger their formation. PAHs get into food when dripping meat juices cause the grilling surface or coals to flare up, engulfing the meat or fish in fragrant, but toxic, vapors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what&#39;s a griller to do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Keep grilling,” says Dave Grotto, R.D., a Chicago-area barbecue buff and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. It’s a great way to cook foods in a low-fat manner.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the link between grilled meats and cancer in humans is still being investigated, if you follow these six easy tips, you can significantly cut your risk:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Marinate before grilling.  It can reduce HCA formation in meat and fish by up to 99 percent, says Grotto. Herbs are helpful, too. Rosemary, garlic and sage may block the formation of both HCAs and PAHs in and on the food. Add the seasonings to light marinades or as ingredients to other dishes you serve with your grilled foods. A citrus or olive oil marinade can also counteract HCA buildup.&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;    * Turn down the heat. High-temperature cooking, including frying, broiling and barbecuing, not only can turn your meat into shoe leather, it&#39;s fuel for the carcinogens. Allow coals to cool to embers before cooking. On a gas grill, move the rack up a notch to distance foods from the flames. “Placing a barrier between your foods and the grill, such as cooking foods in an aluminum pan on top of the grilling rack, works well, too,” says Grotto.&lt;br /&gt;    * Think small.  Smaller cuts spend less time over the flame than big slabs of meat. Flip them frequently, too. Turning meat over every minute greatly reduces HCAs. Use tongs to turn foods. “Puncturing meats with a fork may cause juices to flow and drip on to the coals,” Grotto advises.&lt;br /&gt;    * Avoid overcooking foods. The longer you grill your meat, the more the carcinogens develop. Undercooking meat can be dangerous, too. To avoid the risk of harmful bacteria such as E. coli, be sure to grill meats to an internal temperature of 160 degrees.   &lt;br /&gt;    * Pre-cook foods. Microwaving meats for a couple of minutes before placing them on the grill can cut the effects of HCAs about 90 percent. The microwave draws liquid out of the meat, which in turn reduces flare-ups on the grill.&lt;br /&gt;    * Partner grilled items with cancer fighters. Antioxidants and other phytonutrients in fruits (apples, grapes and berries), vegetables (broccoli, kale, cauliflower, onions) and even tea can stall or stop the chemicals&#39; effects in the body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/DIABETIC+recipes &quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;diabetic recipes&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/chicken+recipes &quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;chicken recipes&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/meat+recipes &quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;meat recipes&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/beef+recipes &quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;beef recipes&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/vegetables+recipes &quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;vegetables recipes&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/recipes&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;recipes&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/special+diets&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;special diets&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/low+sodium&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;low sodium&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/calories&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;calories&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://recipesfordiabetics.blogspot.com/2007/07/grilling-can-make-your-meat-toxic.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22733816.post-116439085475379877</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Nov 2006 17:52:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-11-24T09:54:14.770-08:00</atom:updated><title>Creamed Potato Soup-No Salt</title><description>Creamed Potato Soup&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 medium, potatoes&lt;br /&gt;1 small onion, cut into small pieces&lt;br /&gt;One clove garlic, minced&lt;br /&gt;3 green onions, chopped&lt;br /&gt;Two cans chicken broth (no salt added)&lt;br /&gt;1 cup skim milk&lt;br /&gt;½ tsp. salt&lt;br /&gt;½ tsp. white pepper&lt;br /&gt;1/8 tsp. nutmeg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

This one is low&lt;br /&gt;sodium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to ADA (American Diabetes Association)&lt;br /&gt;our bodies require 220 mg sodium (salt) per day.But&lt;br /&gt;average person normally takes in almost 5,000&lt;br /&gt;mg per day.  The ADA recommends that people&lt;br /&gt;with diabetes should keep their daily sodium&lt;br /&gt;to less than 3,000 mg and those with mild&lt;br /&gt;or moderate hypertension stay under 2,400&lt;br /&gt;mg per day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it does not necessarily mean that we &lt;br /&gt;should cut sodium completely from our diets.&lt;br /&gt;We need it as much as we need vitamins. The &lt;br /&gt;word is moderation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here is a low sodium diet recipe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scrambled Eggs on a Mountain &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2 tbsps vegetable oil or corn oil&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2 eggs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;pepper and herbs, (optional) &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;salt or salt substitute,(garlic salt)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Use eggs only-no cream, milk or water&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Cooking instruction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.Beat eggs several hours in advance preferably&lt;br /&gt;the night before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.Keep in refrigerator until cooking time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.Briely beat up eggs again and season with&lt;br /&gt;pepper, herbs and salt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan, pour in&lt;br /&gt;the eggs and just as the eggs begin to set,&lt;br /&gt;slip one prong of a large fork underneath the&lt;br /&gt;eggs across the pan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.Rotate the fork slowly to roll the egg&lt;br /&gt;up on fork as it cooks and to let the&lt;br /&gt;uncooked part move to the edge of the pan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.When most of the egg is cooked&lt;br /&gt;raise the fork, pulling the center of&lt;br /&gt;the eggs up unto a high mountain and letting&lt;br /&gt;the rest of the uncooked eggs roll&lt;br /&gt;against the side of the pan. Then slip&lt;br /&gt;it off onto a warm serving platter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/recipes&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;recipes&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/special+diets&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;special diets&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://recipesfordiabetics.blogspot.com/2006/02/low-sodium-diet-scrambled-eggs-on.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22733816.post-114046376994072680</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Feb 2006 19:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-11-12T20:41:10.690-08:00</atom:updated><title>American Fish Chowder</title><description>This recipe is for those who want&lt;br /&gt;to cut down on calories in order &lt;br /&gt;to see their waistlines shrink by a&lt;br /&gt;few inches and trim down the fat&lt;br /&gt;in their bellies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Courtesy of a friend who was&lt;br /&gt;put into diet by his doctor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guaranteed results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;American Fish Chowder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 teaspoon butter&lt;br /&gt;1/4 cup finely diced onion&lt;br /&gt;1/2 lb lean white fish&lt;br /&gt;1 teaspoon minced parsley&lt;br /&gt;1 buillion cube&lt;br /&gt;3/4 cup skim milk&lt;br /&gt;salt and pepper&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Cooking instruction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

I leave that to my favorite&lt;br /&gt;blogger-chefs.I am not a gourmet so I am not&lt;br /&gt;a good judge of fine food and wine. But I am&lt;br /&gt;in the borderline of being diabetic and hypertension&lt;br /&gt;and high cholesterol run in the family&#39;s royal&lt;br /&gt;red blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I found out that I am not alone. Many of my&lt;br /&gt;friends are in the same boat. Many are unaware&lt;br /&gt;that we can still enjoy food minus calories without&lt;br /&gt;having to eat bland diet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Panic, panic, I cannot find food blogs &lt;br /&gt;that address this segment of population,&lt;br /&gt;the people who need special diet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
