Eating Fabulous
Pardon the brief hiatus the last several days; I took some time out to deliver a fabulous baby girl ;-) …
And as any parent would know, I’m still trying to get the hang of things, trying to find and fall into a new routine that will work for the whole family. The past several days have been exhilarating, an exciting period indeed, but in between feeds, nappy changes, and the rest of the house chores, it’s getting a bit challenging to find the time to update this blog.
Thus, I’m opening the floor for guest bloggers. If you’re interested in contributing an entry about functional foods and nutraceuticals — foods with medicinal and healing properties — just drop me an email at ruth(at)b5media.com. I can’t offer any compensation, though, except for the author credits and a link to your webste or blog.
Looking forward to your submissions!

 Here’s an excellent introductory article about funcitonal foods I thought you all might find interesting: Are functional foods feasible?
The article covers briefly the history of functional foods, and how the market has boomed in the last few decades. Are they worth it? Are they really beneficial? What issues should consumers be aware of?
At any rate I cannot agree enough with the author’s parting shot:
If these enhanced foods do make their way into your pantry, use them as an enhancement rather than a replacement. No substitution exists for a varied and well-balanced diet. If youre truly concerned about adequateness with your diet, consult a registered dietitian or physician for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

 It’s fairly common knowledge that there’s no cure for the common cold. However, a new study indicates that Wellmune WGP, a natural immune-enhancing ingredient manufactured by Biothera, could prevent fever and alleviate the symptoms of a cold, to the extent that you no longer feel the need to miss work or school due to the cold-like symptoms.
This studys results are exciting because they show the potential for Wellmune WGP to naturally enhance the bodys innate immune response to protect against and ameliorate the symptoms of something that every one of us encountersthe common cold. These results are consistent with numerous other immune health studies conducted with our ingredient, and indicate the real-life benefits that Wellmune WGP supplementation can provide.
What is Wellmune, exactly?

This natural compound (gluco polysaccharide) is isolated from the cell walls of a strain of yeast. Wellmune WGP is patented, GRAS-approved, Kosher, non-allergenic and GMO-free.

Two new studies presented at the Experimental Biology Annual Meeting suggest that Diabetinol, an all-natural dietary supplement made from citrus, may help lower blood glucose levels and be beneficial in lowering the risks of heart disease and diabetic complications in people with type 2 diabetes.
Our scientifically validated testing has consistently shown that Diabetinol improves blood glucose numbers. This time we saw a sizeable change in glucose intolerance in just a short time. This is good news for many of the 21 million Americans with diabetes. Tighter blood sugar control may mean less diabetic complications like nerve pain and kidney disease. And, that could mean less disability and expense from complications and associated medications and certainly less stress for the patient.”
A six-month study is underway to evaluate Diabetinol treatment in a larger sample of people with type 2 diabetes.
