Are Bidi Cigarettes A Safe-Smoking Alternative?

Bidis are legally imported from India and are thin unfiltered
cigarettes hand-wrapped in Brown leaves and tied with short pieces of thread
and are popular with school kids under 18 because they are cheaper than the
cost of cigarettes and come in a variety of flavors including root beer,
orange, lemon-lime and strawberry.
Bidis deliver twice the amount of tar and seven times the amount of nicotine
of regular cigarettes.
Like regular cigarettes, bidis can cause cancer and lead to heart disease,
heigh blood pressure, and a host of other serious health problems.
Because bidis deliver greater doses of nicotine to the bloodstream, they are
far more addictive than cigarettes.
70 percent of Bidis sold in the US do not have the Surgeon General’s warning
about the health risks of smoking.
44 percent of kids who smoke bidis do so because they believe that bidis are
not addictive and are less dangerous to one’s health than cigarettes.
From the best selling book, Eat
This Lose That! Written by well-known Cardiologist, Dr.
Kota J. Reddy, from the Reddy Wellness Center, says, “Bidis are more
detrimental to your health than your traditional cigarettes and smoking hookah
(sheesha), they are also flavored to make them attractive to the younger
generation. That’s a deadly combination.”

An Egg A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

Why should I eat eggs with the yolk?

Eggs could actually protect against heart disease, breast cancer and
eye problems and even help you to lose weight.
For years people assumed eggs were bad for cholesterol levels. But a review
just published in the British Nutrition Foundation’s Nutrition Bulletin found
they ‘have no clinically significant impact’ on heart disease or cholesterol
levels.
“Egg is a ‘Life Force’ that gives life and sustains life. It is
the only complete food that is ‘of life,’ ‘for life,’ ‘with life’ and ‘in
life.’ “ From Best seller, Eat
This Lose That! Cardiologist Dr. Kota Reddy explains
straight from his book why you should eat whole eggs daily.
Eggs are rich in nutrients. One egg provides 13 essential
nutrients, all in the yolk (egg whites contain albumen, an important source of
protein, and no fat).

Eggs are an excellent source of B vitamins, which are
needed for vital functions in the body, and also provide good quantities of
vitamin A, essential for normal growth and development.

An egg’s vitamin E content protects against heart disease
and some cancers; there’s also vitamin D, which promotes mineral absorption and
good bone health. Eggs are rich in iodine, for making thyroid hormones, and
phosphorus, essential for healthy bones and teeth. Teenage girls who eat an egg
a day may give themselves additional protection against breast cancer in later
life, according to a study in the journal Breast Cancer Research.

Egg yolks contain the nutrients lutein and zeaxanthin,
which could help to prevent or even reverse the age-related eye problem macular
degeneration (MD). This is one of the leading causes of blindness and occurs as
a consequence of getting older – however, low lutein intake is implicated as a
risk factor.

Eggs are also low in calories – a large egg contains only
75 calories and 5 grams of fat – and other research suggests they can help you
lose weight. A study published last year in the Journal of the American College
of Nutrition looked at the breakfast habits of obese women.

An Avocado A Day Keeps The Doctor Away?

“Avocado is the only fruit I recommend. It can easily incorporated in your daily diet. Avocado contains a significant amout of monounsaturated fats (the food fats!). People who eat avocados regularly had an average of 17% drop in their total blood cholesterol. They’ve also been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer. If you want to avoid visiting me in my clinic, I suggest you start eating!” From the best selling book, Eat This Lose That! Written by well-known Cardiologist, Dr. Kota J. Reddy, from the Reddy Wellness Center explains his thoughts on this amazing fruit.

The Power Of The Avocado:

Oral Cancer Defense
Research has shown that certain compounds in avocados are able to seek out pre-cancerous and cancerous oral cancer cells and destroy them without harming healthy cells.
Breast Cancer Protection
Avocado, like olive oil, is high in oleic acid, which has been shown to prevent breast cancer in numerous studies.

Eye Health
Avocados have more of the carotenoid lutein than any other commonly consumed fruit. Lutein protects against macular degeneration and cataracts, two disabling age-related eye diseases.

Lower Cholesterol
Avocados are high in beta-sitosterol, a compound that has been shown to lower cholesterol levels. In one study, 45 volunteers experienced an average drop in cholesterol of 17% after eating avocados for only one week.

Heart Health
One cup of avocado has 23% of the recommended daily value of folate. Studies show that people who eat diets rich in folate have a much lower incidence of heart disease than those who don’t. The vitamin E, monounsaturated fats, and glutathione in avocado are also great for your heart.

Stroke Prevention
The high levels of folate in avocado are also protective against strokes. People who eat diets rich in folate have a much lower risk of stroke than those who don’t.
Better Nutrient Absorption Research has found that certain nutrients are absorbed better when eaten with avocado. In one study, when participants ate a salad containing avocados, they absorbed five times the amount of carotenoids (a group of nutrients that includes lycopene and beta carotene) than those who didn’t include avocados.

Glutathione Source
Avocados are an excellent source of glutathione, an important antioxidant that researchers say is important in preventing aging, cancer, and heart disease.

Vitamin E Powerhouse
Avocados are the best fruit source of vitamin E, an essential vitamin that protects against many diseases and helps maintains overall health.
