 Dates
 

Dates are a great source of dietary fiber. The American Cancer Society recommends that you consume 20-35 grams of dietary fiber a day. Dietary fiber comes in two forms - soluble and insoluble. Each serves a valuable function. Insoluble fiber increases the rate at which food moves through the digestive system. Soluble fiber may help control diabetes by decreasing elevated blood glucose levels. Soluble fiber also had been found to help lower serum cholesterol levels, particularly undesirable low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

According to researchers at the University of Scranton in Scranton Pennsylvania, they have the highest concentration of polyphenols among dried fruits. The findings of this research suggest that dried fruits should be a greater part of the diet as they are dense in phenol antioxidants and nutrients, most notably fiber.

A serving of power-packed dates contains 31 grams of carbohydrates, making them a powerhouse of energy. Carbohydrates include 3 grams of dietary fiber and 29 grams of naturally occurring sugars such as fructose, glucose and sucrose to provide quick energy and are readily used by the body. Dates are a perfect energy boosting snack.

Dates are one of the best natural sources of potassium. Potassium is an essential mineral your body needs to maintain muscle contractions including the vital heart muscle. Potassium is needed to maintain a healthy nervous system and to balance the body's metabolism as well.

Since potassium is not stored in the body, and much is lost in perspiration, it must be continually replenished. As you consume potassium you excrete sodium, helping to keep blood pressure down. As people age, their kidneys become less efficient at eliminating sodium. About a 400 mg increase in potassium intake has been associated with a 40% reduction in the risk of stroke. This roughly amounts to one additional serving daily of Dates.

Dates also contain a variety of B-complex vitamins - thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6 and pantothenic acid. These vitamins have a variety of functions that help maintain a healthy body - to metabolize carbohydrates and maintain blood glucose levels, fatty acids for energy, and they help make hemoglobin, the red and white blood cells.

Dates also contain Magnesium which is essential for healthy bone development and for energy metabolism and Iron which is essential to red blood cell production. Red blood cells carry all the nutrients to cells throughout the body. In addition, Dates are fat and cholesterol free!

Phi Plus is our most popular food of all - it is handcrafted from dozens of whole food ingredients.  Phi Plus is rich in Dates and all of their wonderful health imparting properties. Have you had your Phi Plus today?

Day 74 - Mother's Milk
 

Most parents are aware that breast milk is best for their baby, but may not be aware that the benefits of breastfeeding extend far beyond basic nutrition.  In addition to containing all the vitamins and nutrients your baby needs in the first six months of life, breast milk is packed with disease-fighting nutrients that protect your baby from illness. That's why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months.

Another advantage of breastfeeding is that it's as healthy for mothers as it is for babies. Not only does lactation continue the natural physiologic process begun with conception and pregnancy, but it provides many short and long-term health benefits to the mother.

The full range of benefits that breastfeeding offers are rarely emphasized in prenatal counseling by health care professionals and are all but ignored in popular parenting literature - but the latest research is quite clear and suggests that breastfeeding:

Protects your baby from gastrointestinal trouble, respiratory problems, and ear infections
 
Can protect your baby from developing allergies

May boost your child's intelligence (I.Q.)

May protect against obesity later in life

May protect your baby from childhood leukemia
 
May protect your baby from developing type 1 diabetes
 
May protect preemies from infections and high blood pressure later in life
 
May lower your baby's risk of SIDS
 
May protect the baby against osteoporosis later in life
 
Helps the mother lose weight by burning an extra 300 to 500 calories a day
 
Can lower the mother's stress levels and reduce postpartum bleeding
 
May reduce the mother's risk of some types of cancer

If the "pitter patter of little feet" is in your future, we encourage you to search online for the "benefits of breastfeeding" and to get more information so that you can make a truly informed decision.  Then, once your baby is ready for solid food - the Wholefood Farmacy foods offer you an easy and convenient way to continue nourishing your baby with the very best that nature has to offer.

Eat Your Oats!
 

Oats are a nutritious whole grain that can help to prevent heart disease and diabetes.  Oats contain a special type of fiber that is called beta-glucan.  Studies dating back over 40 years have consistently shown the beneficial effects of beta-glucan on cholesterol levels.   In individuals with cholesterol above 220, consuming only 3 grams of soluble oat fiber per day (an amount found in one bowl of oatmeal) typically lowers total cholesterol by 8-23%.  Each 1% drop in cholesterol equates to a 2% decrease in the risk of developing heart disease. Now that's an easy way to take care of your heart.

Studies also show that beta-glucan has beneficial effects in diabetes as well. Type 2 diabetics who ate foods high in this type of oat fiber such as oatmeal or oat bran experienced much lower rises in blood sugar compared to those who were ate processed foods. Starting out your day with oats may make it easier to keep blood sugar levels under control the rest of the day, especially when the rest of your day is also includes other whole foods that are rich in fiber.

More recently, researchers from the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging, Tufts University, Boston, report that oats may have another heart protective quality.   Their findings were reported in The Journal of Nutrition, June 2007, and indicate that oats contain unique antioxidant compounds called avenanthramides. These special antioxidant compounds help prevent free radicals from damaging LDL cholesterol thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

In another study also conducted at Tufts and published in the journal Atherosclerosis, researchers exposed human arterial wall cells to purified avenenthramides from oats for 24 hours, and found that these oat phenols significantly suppressed the production of several types of molecules which cause arteries to become clogged.

Here's a healthy idea - start your day with a nice warm bowl of oatmeal and then add some Phi Plus, Cranberry Phi or Coco Cherry Phi  - mix it in and let stand for a couple of minutes.  You'll be adding even more oats, more nutrition and more flavor too!   Phi Plus, Cranberry Phi and Coco-Cherry Phi are all very rich in oats - so these delicious whole foods also offer you a convenient way to snack on oats throughout the day!
