Xenadrine

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Xenadrine is directed to be taken daily before breakfast, with water, two capsules at a time. Here is a list of ingredients: Tyroplex, Green Tea Extract, Vitamim C, Vitamin B6, Norambrolide, caffeine and polyphenols, Seropro, tyramine and theobromine), Magnesium, Yerba Mate, Guarana, Calcium Tribasic, Pantothenic acid, dl-Methionine, L-Theanine, Ginger Root, Proprietary Thermodyne Complex, Isotherm, DMAE, Grape Seed Extract, Talc, Magnesium Stearate and Gelatin.

It seems to me that there are some pretty healthy items. For example, green tea has been shown to lower “bad” LDL cholesterol, it protects your joints against osteoarthritis, prevents the growth of cancer cells, and provides chemicals that bind estrogen and can help women that have breast cancer.

The Grapefruit Diet

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

One grapefruit gives you about 60% of the recommended daily allowance for vitamin C, but the antioxidant power doesn’t end there: grapefruit also contains beta-carotene and lycopene (found in the pink and red grapefruit), as well as flavonoids, all of the which may protect against pancreatic, cervical, and bladder cancers. Grapefruit contains limonene, which is the citrus oil, which has been shown to help stop the growth of tumors.

The soluble fiber in the pith, called pectin, is an excellent heart protector. So when you are eating the fruit try and leave as much of the white pith as you can. It does taste quite bitter, but I say, if it’s healthy, eat it. I will sometime put a little agave nectar on the grapefruit slices to make it a little bit sweeter. I try and stay away from white sugar since that is not at all healthy for you. Another great source of vitamin C are guavas. They provide almost 300 percent of the RDA. Like grapefruit they contain a lot of fiber as well as beta-carotene.
