Vitamin Focus: A

What do we need Vitamin A for?
You may have heard that eating carrots will improve your eyesight and have wondered have wondered if it was true (and if so, why?). Carrots contain Vitamin A, which is needed to form a light-absorbing molecule (retinal) in the retina of the eye. Eating carrots will not necessarily improve your eyesight, but because of the Vitamin A content will help you maintain healthy vision. In addition to being an essential vitamin for maintaining healthy vision, Vitamin A plays a role in gene transcription, immune function, bone metabolism, and skin health, among a few

Muffins versus Donuts
by Bea February 8th, 2010 | Diet, Nutrition
The debate between whether or not bagels or donuts are the more "healthy" option already was discussed in a previous article, but what about those muffins? While it is true that muffins could earn you more nutrition points over donuts, they still are not the healthy option just because they are "bread."
So, we know, for example, that donuts vary in calorie count. For instance, while yeast donuts are usually anywhere from 170 to 270 calories each, the denser cake-like doughnuts can be from 290 to 360 calories, and the cream-filled types can run from 300 to 390 calories

If through the years you have tried different kinds of diets, you know that almost all of those diets center on lowering carbohydrate intake. There is a reason why in most diets the daily carbohydrate intake is lessened significantly. Carbohydrates are used by the body for energy.

This is a condition known as ketosis. But weight loss is not the only

MonaVie
by Bea January 5th, 2010 | Diet, Nutrition, Vitamins
MonaVie is a juice that supports your body's antioxidant and nutritional needs. The secret behind the juice is the Brazilian açai berry—one of nature's top superfoods.
It is pretty expensive to drink this juice, but many people think that is completely worth it. For example, I know a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had the surgery but did not want to go through any of the chemotherapy processes. At first she was only taking Vitamin C injections, but she then heard about MonaVie and started to drink this juice. She is now cancer free, and she believes
