Carotenoids
Tell what this is Dena??? Ok a little info.
Food sources of carotenoids include carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, collard greens, and tomatoes. To maximize the availability of the carotenoids in the foods listed above, the foods should be eaten raw or steamed lightly.
For serving size for specific foods, see Nutrient Rating Chart below at the bottom of this page.
Carotenoids represent one of the most widespread groups of naturally occurring pigments. These compounds are largely responsible for the red, yellow, and orange color of fruits and vegetables, and are also found in many dark green vegetables. The most abundant carotenoids in the North American diet are beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, gamma-carotene, lycopene, lutein, beta-crpytoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin.
Until late in the 20th Century, the functions of carotenoids were discussed only in terms of their potential vitamin A activity. Certain members of the carotenoid family, approximately 50 carotenoids of the known 600, are called "provitamin A" compounds because the body can convert them into retinol, an active form of vitamin A.
As a result, foods that contain carotenoids can help prevent vitamin A deficiency. The most commonly consumed provitamin A carotenoids are beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin, but gamma-carotene and beta-zeacarotene also have provitamin A activity.
In recent years, carotenoids have received a tremendous amount of attention as potential anti-cancer and anti-aging compounds. Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants, protecting the cells of the body from damage caused by free radicals. Carotenoids, and specifically beta-carotene, are also believed to enhance the function of the immune system.
In addition to their antioxidant and immune-enhancing activity, carotenoids have shown the ability to stimulate cell to cell communication. Researchers now believe that poor communication between cells may be one of the causes of the overgrowth of cells, a condition which eventually leads to cancer. By promoting proper communication between cells, carotenoids may play a role in cancer prevention.
It is also believed that carotenoids participate in female reproduction. Although the exact function of carotenoids in female reproduction has not yet been identified, it is known that the corpus luteum has the highest concentration of beta-carotene of any organ in the body, suggesting that this nutrient plays an important role in reproductive processes.
A low dietary intake of carotenoids is not known to directly cause any diseases or health conditions, at least in the short term. However, if your intake of vitamin A is also low, a dietary deficiency of the provitamin A carotenoids (beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin) can cause the symptoms associated with vitamin A deficiency.
In addition, long-term inadequate intake of carotenoids is associated with chronic disease, including heart disease and various cancers. One important mechanism for this carotenoid-disease relationship appears to be free radicals. Research indicates that diets low in carotenoids can increase the body's susceptibility to damage from free radicals. As a result, over the long term, carotenoid-deficient diets may increase tissue damage from free radical activity, and increase risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancers.
Due to low consumption of fruits and vegetables, many adolescents and young adults do not take in enough carotenoids. In addition, if you smoke cigarettes and/or drink alcohol, you may have lower than normal blood levels of carotenoids. Statistically speaking, smokers and drinkers eat fewer foods that contain carotenoids. Also, researchers suspect that cigarette smoke destroys carotenoids. However, if you do smoke or drink, use carotenoid supplements with caution (see Toxicity section).
A tell-tale sign of excessive consumption of beta-carotene is a yellowish discoloration of the skin, most often occurring in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. This condition is called carotenodermia, and is reversible and harmless. Excessive consumption of lycopene can cause a deep orange discoloration of the skin. Like carotenodermia, lycopenodermia is harmless.
High intake of carotenoid-containing foods or supplements is not associated with any toxic side effects. As a result, the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences did not establish a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for carotenoids when it reviewed these compounds in 2000.
However, the results of two research studies indicate that those who smoke heavily and drink alcohol regularly, may increase their chance of developing lung cancer and/or heart disease if they take beta-carotene supplements in amounts greater than 20-30 milligrams per day.
In certain cases, cooking can improve the availability of carotenoids in foods. For example, the availability of lycopene from tomato products is increased when the foods are processed at high temperatures. As a result, your body absorbs the lycopene in canned, pasteurized tomato juice more easily than the lycopene in a fresh tomato. In addition, lightly steaming carrots and spinach improves your body's ability to absorb the carotenoids in these foods.
It is important to note, however, that in most cases, prolonged cooking of vegetables decreases the availability of carotenoids by changing the shape of the carotenoid from its natural trans-configuration to a cis-configuration. For example, fresh carrots contain 100% all-trans beta-carotene, while canned carrots contain only 73% all-trans beta-carotene.
Carotenoids are fat-soluble substances, and as such require the presence of dietary fat for proper absorption through the digestive tract. Consequently, your carotenoid status may be impaired by a diet that is extremely low in fat or if you have a medical condition that causes a reduction in the ability to absorb dietary fat such as pancreatic enzyme deficiency, Crohn's disease, celiac sprue, cystic fibrosis, surgical removal of part or all of the stomach, gall bladder disease, and liver disease.
The cholesterol-lowering medications referred to as bile acid sequestrants (Cholestyramine, Colestipol, and Colestid) lower blood levels of carotenoids. In addition, margarines enriched with plant sterols such as Benecol and Take Control, may decrease the absorption of carotenoids. Olestra, a fat substitute added to snack foods, may also decrease the absorption of carotenoids.
Beta-carotene supplements reduce blood levels of lutein, suggesting that carotenoids may compete with each other for absorption.
Supplementing your diet with pectin may decrease the absorption of carotenoids.
In dietary supplements, carotenoids are available as synthetic all-trans beta-carotene, beta- and alpha-carotene from the algae Dunaliella, and mixed carotenes from palm oil.
It is important to note, however, that, due to the inconsistent results from research studies aimed at evaluating the health benefits of beta-carotene supplements, the National Academy of Sciences cautions against taking high dose carotenoid supplements, except as a method for preventing vitamin A deficiency.
The orange-colored fruits and vegetables including carrots, apricots, mangoes, squash, and sweet potatoes contain significant amounts of beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin.
Green vegetables, especially spinach, kale, and collard greens, also contain beta-carotene, and are the best sources of lutein.
Lycopene is found in tomatoes, guava, and pink grapefruit. Salmon, shellfish, milk, and egg yolks also provide carotenoids.
The contribution of spices to available carotenoids in the U.S. diet has increased steadily, making spices a great choice for upping your carotenoid intake. Cayenne pepper and chili pepper are worthy of special mention here.
To date, no recommended dietary intake levels have been established for carotenoids. In an effort to set such recommendations, the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences reviewed the existing scientific research on carotenoids in 2000.
Despite the large body of population-based research that links high consumption of foods containing beta-carotene and other carotenoids with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases, the Institute of Medicine concluded that this evidence was not strong enough to support a required carotenoid intake level because it is not yet known if the health benefits associated with carotenoid-containing foods are due to the carotenoids or to some other substance in the food.
However, the National Academy of Sciences supports the recommendations of various health agencies, which encourage individuals to consume five or more servings of fruits and vegetable every day. This level of intake of fruits and vegetables provides approximately three to six milligrams of beta-carotene.
What can high-carotenoid foods do for you?
- Protect your cells from the damaging effects of free radicals
- Provide a source of vitamin A
- Enhance the functioning of your immune system
- Help your reproductive system function properly
What events and lifestyle factors can indicate a need for more high-carotenoid foods?
- Smoking and regular alcohol consumption
- Low intake of fruits and vegetables

How do other nutrients interact with carotenoids?
Beta-carotene supplements reduce blood levels of lutein, suggesting that carotenoids may compete with each other for absorption.
Supplementing your diet with pectin may decrease the absorption of carotenoids.
What health conditions require special emphasis on carotenoids?
Carotenoids may play a role in the prevention and/or
treatment of the following health conditions:
- Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Angina pectoris
- Asthma
- Cataracts
- Cervical cancer
- Cervical dysplasia

Fasting and addiction
Another favorite from the book.
It's funny I've said so many of the same things for year and now people I don't even know say the same.
I guess I wondered at times if people listen or do they think I'm crazy,, am I crazy haha. Then here we go, people come out of the wood work and I'm feeling NOT so alone.
So I'm copying a few of other peoples stuff to be sure people know I'm not alone,, this is real ,its true and people have been healed from many many things. And the ones thats are not sick feel better and are happier,,with fasting.
Fasting And Addiction
by
Ron Lagerquist
Fasting cuts away superficiality, getting down to
the bone of living. Effective, due to its ability to strip away the props we
have become so dependent on to get us through the day. The large coffee
double-double, cinnamon Danish, ball game, Budweiser, nacho’s, cigarettes,
sitcoms, hours upon squandered hours, and for some, drugs, pornography,
overeating and alcoholism. When these props are removed, what remain are the
spiritual resources within. If they are bankrupt then during fasting you will
come face to face with a profound emptiness only God can fill. It is this very
emptiness so many run from or try to offset with material things. Yet this is
doomed to failure for we are created spiritual beings, with spiritual longing.
Fasting accomplishes two purposes. First, it
will reveal how much the flesh has taken control of emotions, and secondly, it
will serve in breaking the flesh’s hold upon the will.
Oh no my dear, I am not like
those others, I’m not addicted to anything—until you
attempt a fast.
Those who think you live autonomously in this
world, fasting is a perfect immunity test, often a rude awakening of how toxic
your daily requirements have become. What makes your world go around?
Addiction is anything that controls you, and whether it’s food, pornography,
coffee, TV or heroin, it taints independence and freedom.
The food industry has perfected the addictiveness
of foods adding salt, fat and processed sugar, and millions crave their
offerings daily. It is hard to tackle food addiction; after all we must eat,
right? A quiet food-fix during a hectic day is only a drive-through away.
Availability for the junk food addict is a real problem. Fasting is a great and
needed break from eating, allowing the body to balance homeostasis, untangling
emotions from the up-and-down roller-coaster ride addiction produces.
If I
spend enough quality time with a certain food I start becoming emotionally
attached. It’s just the way I am put together. Problem is, in the past I have
made bad food-relationship decisions. Years ago I met an All Dressed Hostess
Potato Chip in the seedy part of my grocery Store. Had no business being there
in the first place. Let’s just say I was needy. Months later, and a painful
break-up, we parted company, but the relationship left deep scares. About four
inches deep around my waist. Oh, there was that seductive little Peanut Butter
Cup. Never was interested until they came out with the three-pack for the price
of two, remember that? Thought I was getting a deal, but ended up paying a
bigger price later on. Took three years to end that co-dependent relationship.
I learned my lesson and went food-celibate for 30 days, getting my emotions
settled. Funny, after all these years every time I see Peanut Butter Cup it
still feels like I am going to break out in acne.
The
good news is for the last few years I have been seeing someone and it’s looking
good. We spend our mornings together. Cravings that usually accompany
co-dependency is not there, just old fashioned hunger. Real colorful
personality too, sweet in the most natural way. I think it’s a healthy
relationship, my fruit salad and me. When I wake up, I’m not thinking bacon and
eggs, no. An orange, grapefruit, two bananas, half a cantaloupe, grapes, two
pears; add a little natural yogurt to taste, and wow!
I have learned something about life. Spent time
with the wrong people and you become just a little bit like them. Chose your
friends wisely. But greater still this applies to what you cram into every
cell, tub and membrane of your body. You will develop emotional and
physiological attachments to what you eat daily, especially the foods you turn
to when lonely and depressed. They will have the strongest attachment. The
great news is if you are willing to go through a period of separation-blues, you
can form healthy attachments just like my beloved fruit salad.
Jesus awaits our willingness to surrender our
addiction gods. Remember the young Rich Man. Wealth choked his very soul. He
truly hungered for the Kingdom; all people do whether they know it or not. And
Jesus loved him—gave him the way out of his meaningless existence. Yet it was
an impossibility at that moment. The ruler was young and in love with the
luxuries money secured. The emptiness within had to ferment longer until it
would eat away his pride and independence. Then he would be ready.
Fasting invariably brings to the surface
deep-seated fears that affect thinking and decision-making. It does this by
challenging that complex human instinct called self-preservation. This
instinct has been created in every living thing on earth, including man. But
you are a New Creation in Christ, recreated not to be controlled by instincts.
Because of a rebirth, you have been recreated into a creature of a higher and
grander design than that of your former life.
Recently I was reading about the negative effects of coffee shaking
my head at myself and all humanity. “Coffee promotes aging and can cause
impotence.” How much would we pay if they discovered a drink you could consume
every morning that would slow down aging and increase libido? I would hazard a
lot! Yet here I was, eating an almost raw diet, working out in the gym,
applying special moisturizing creams to my face after the shower, coloring the
gray out of my goatee, the last vestige of hair I own, and paying for and
drinking an extract of bean that is known to increase aging and hobnobs with
impotency. For what? A meager hour of energy borrowed from the rest of the day
so for hours afterward I feel tired. That’s nuts! There is only one thing that
causes us to act so irrationally and self-destructive. Addiction.
The
problem is addictions take no work on our part, you just drink something, pop a
pill, sit back and let it happen. We put so much faith in our addictions, that’s
what gives them power. And we are surprised when we discover, Hey, I can live
without this, in fact I can live better.
juice fast and protein
One of the many questions I get ask is about Protein. I'm not sure but I think people just like saying it. I ask them to explain it to me. What happens ,why do you need it where does it come from, and what has protein.
Protein & Fasting
by
Ron Lagerquist
It was
theorized that protein loss during fasting was harmful and that a fast should be
supplemented with protein. Fasting with protein became known as the
Opti-fast. Fasters took nothing but water and a protein drink. Sadly,
several people died. Protein digestion during the fasting state created an
overload of urea and the blood become acidic. In this condition, the organs
become more damaged instead of healing.
To the body,
fasting is a natural process. During water or juice fasting, the protein levels
of the blood remain constant. Although protein is being utilized, a person
fasting 40 days on water will not suffer a deficiency of either protein,
vitamins, minerals or fatty acids. In the breakdown of dying and diseased cells,
all essential substances are available while fasting for reuse within the body.
These dead cells are utilized in a systematic manner. Some diseases may take 30
day of juice fasting because it has take that long for the body to cleanse
deeply enough to bring about healing.
That what he said boy is it true.
Protein & Fasting Points
Protein deficiency is non existent in North America. You never hear of anyone being diagnosed with protein deficiency.
Protein deficiency is non existent in North America. You never hear of anyone being diagnosed with protein deficiency.
Fruit and
vegetable juices have water soluble highly absorbable proteins.
The body has
a store of protein, and it uses it selectively. Dieing cells are the first to be
used and healthy and vital tissues are the very last and will only be used as a
last resort.
Only during
starvation is protein being stripped form healthy tissue to be used to survive.
This may take be 30 to 80 days of water fasting on water to reach this
point.
The
systematic searching of cells to be metabolized is crucial in the healing of
cancer. A cancer cell is represents protein and calories. Some cancers are so
persistent that you have to force the body to choose between healthy cells and
cancer cells. This requires a long fast on small portions of juice combined
with days of water fasting.
Freeform
amino acids may be of value, as they do not interfere with the cleansing
process. An athlete fasting to tune up the system may consider a fast
supplemented with free-form amino acids.

Juicing recipes
-1 cup of spinach
- 1/2 cucumber
- 2 stalks of celery including leaves
- 3 carrots
- 1/2 apple
Juicing Tip: Juice cucumbers with their skins on. The dark green skin is a great source of chlorophyll, a phytochemical that can help build red blood cells. Cucumbers also contain silica, a mineral that is good for the skin. Make sure to wash them before making cucumber homemade juice recipes.

Sorry I have Not Posted
So sorry Ive neglected you by not posting in a while. With fasting I try and stay bizzzzy . And that as not been hard. But,, I had a juice class, work , advising people, some of my own personal stuff, the shopping fresh every few days, plus juicing, trying to get me and my son to the gym, school shopping, trying to do a few fun things with my son before school starts back up, house stuff that always seems to happen at one time and last but surely not least my work schedule has been all over the board. Girl at work say I need a husband haha I don't see any takers lololo. I told them I have to date first,,, we had a good laugh.

juicers what kinds are there
The different types of juicers defer in how they work. Some of the common types include centrifugal, centrifugal ejection, masticating, manual press, single auger, dual cage auger and twin press.
Centrifugal juicer
A centrifugal juicer cuts up the fruit or vegetable with a flat cutting blade. It then spins the produce at a high speed (3,000-14,000 RPMs) to separate the juice from the pulp.[
Centrifugal ejection juicers operate much the same way as a centrifugal juicer except that the sides of the basket are slanted. This is for the basket to allow to ‘self-clean’ so you won’t need to stop the juicer and empty it out. The pulp then is ejected out of the machine into a collection bin or a basket that is in lined with a plastic bag to which it collect the pulp and discarded easily.
Because of the shorten time of the pulp to be in contact with the basket, these juicers must spin faster than a centrifugal juicer in about 6300 rpm. However, since it spins faster, this is by far the noisiest of all juicers. There are those centrifugal ejection juicers that feature a large feed chute with a three inches diameter that allows the user to juice without cutting the produce.
Masticating juicers work is a multi stage process. The masticating juicer chews or masticates the fruit or vegetable to break down the fibres and cell wall struture of the pulp. The next stage is to extract the juice from the broken down pulp by pressing it into a smaller space thus squeezing the pulp to discharge the juice.
Masticating juicers are good for juicing vegetables because their masticating action is efficient at breaking down the vegetable cell walls which tend to be tougher than their fruit counterparts. Because they are efficient at breaking down tough vegetable fibres masticating juicers are sometimes capable of juicing wheatgrass.
A manual press is a type of juicer that uses pressure to produce juice by squeezing the produce to extract the juice in a two-step process: first shredding the produce and then pressing the liquid out of it.
Single Auger masticating juicers use a slow rotating screw that allows you to crush produce against a stainless steel filter with a process that is basically similar to a mincing machine.
Well these are the kind and here are some answers to what they are. You have to deside what you want and what works for you. Anything is better than nothing. I say get one at a yard sale or cheap 20.00 or so from some where then take notes what you hate and what you like. And the most IMPORTANT will I DO THIS. Before I spend to much money.

The next stage is to extract the juice from the broken down pulp by pressing it into a smaller space thus squeezing the pulp to discharge the juice.
Masticating juicers are good for juicing vegetables because their masticating action is efficient at breaking down the vegetable cell walls which tend to be tougher than their fruit counterparts. Because they are efficient at breaking down tough vegetable fibres masticating juicers are sometimes capable of juicing wheatgrass.
A manual press is a type of juicer that uses pressure to produce juice by squeezing the produce to extract the juice in a two-step process: first shredding the produce and then pressing the liquid out of it.
Single Auger masticating juicers use a slow rotating screw that allows you to crush produce against a stainless steel filter with a process that is basically similar to a mincing machine.
Well these are the kind and here are some answers to what they are. You have to deside what you want and what works for you. Anything is better than nothing. I say get one at a yard sale or cheap 20.00 or so from some where then take notes what you hate and what you like. And the most IMPORTANT will I DO THIS. Before I spend to much money.

Japanese scientist creates 'poop burger'? Surely not
36 comments
Are you going to be having a burger today? Bacon? Cheese? Pickle? How about feces?
I am not being facetious. I am not even being fecetious.
For Digital Trends informs me of a trend that might just have your digits twitching involuntarily.
It seems that a researcher from the alleged Okayama Laboratory in Japan has taken it upon himself to take the concept of "waste not, want not" to a new and delirious level.
Mitsuyuki Ikeda is clearly not a man who is faint of heart or of stomach. On allegedly being approached by the Tokyo Sewage company, which was concerned that it was in possession of just so much sewage mud, Ikeda digested the problem very carefully.
He poked and prodded at the sewage, actions which revealed that it was rather full of protein, thanks to all the bacteria that was embedded in its sludge.
"Why," he reportedly said to himself, "there is meat in this mud. And there is no murder involved."
So he supposedly set about sucking out the proteins, mixing them in with a reaction enhancer, and slamming them into an exploder--a process that seems to have, well, exploded a poop burger.
The resultant meat is supposedly 63 percent protein. The rest is, well, rat urine, mouse droppings, discarded newspapers, toilet paper, and other tissues. Oh, of course I'm kidding. It is officially described as 25 percent carbohydrates, 3 percent lipids and 9 percent, um, minerals.
As any reasonable human being would, you will be wondering what this poop burger tastes like. Allegedly, with the addition of a little soy protein, it tastes like real meat. The sort you might get at your local Cow's Jr., or wherever it is you gain your sustenance.
You will notice that I have embedded a video that assists you in the visualization of this new culinary trend. You might wonder why this man is using a dismembered finger--last seen in certain videos obtainable online for a fee--in order to indicate the finer elements of his work.
While you consider that, please consider Ikeda's words too. "I admit that few people would be keen to eat it," he said. This is not merely because it supposedly costs between 10 and 20 times what you might pay at Cow's Jr.
Perhaps I've seen too many staged videos lately, but I am still not convinced this experiment is at all real. (Did you notice how many allegedlys and supposedlys I've already slipped in?)
Does it bother you that the narrator so cheerily describes it as a "turd burger"? Does it strike anyone as just a little odd that, at 1:34 into the video, Ikeda reaches into the fridge, on whose door is emblazoned the fine motif: "S--t Burger"?
Of course this could be a mere scientific joke. Of course, it is tempting to believe Digital Trends and all the other media who are reporting this to be real science. And, of course, very soon we'll all be eating excrement anyway, both metaphorically as well as physically.
But I tried googling this Okayama Laboratory and I got a company that seems to make stents and other medical devices. I did get a result for Okayama University, but there seems to be no trace of a Mitsuyuki Ikeda there. Although I did find a Mitsuyuki Ikeda who works for UNESCO and is very keen on Education for Sustainable Development.
I tried googling just "Mitsuyuki Ikeda" and I got hundreds of results about his alleged poop burger, but only one result for the same UNESCO-employed Mitsuyuki Ikeda.
So, unless the poop-burgering Ikeda or one of his cohorts can contact me now--or, even better, send me a sample--I am of a mind to flush this story out as a load of old artificial meat.
