The basic principle of the Kremlin diet is that a person does not have to completely give up eating and torture of a loved one by hunger, and just have to pay closer attention to the fact that he eats. This diet does not prohibit eating meat. The meat can be eaten, and even to eat. The secret to the effectiveness of the Kremlin diet is that the body is transferred to a lower consumption of carbohydrates, which are one of the main causes of being overweight. For products having a high carbohydrate value, will have to charge more points Kremlin diet. For such products primarily include bakery products, some cereals, sweet. The body, limited in carbohydrates, is forced to search for new energy resources, and thus begins to actively burn its own fat.



According to the system developed in this diet each product is assigned a certain number of points, "hazard" (arbitrary units). You ate, for example, a piece of crab meat, then, if you please, write to your account 12 points. And if you decided to eat grapes, you will have to write down their account for 15 points. The daily amount of all of these points should not exceed forty. Only in this case from the Kremlin diet is good. Therefore, a person who has chosen this method of weight loss, we have to very carefully every day to count points Kremlin diet. There is a special table Kremlin diet, which clearly indicated how many points for what product you need to charge.

Kremlin dietOnce a person because of this diet can lose the required number of extra pounds, in order to maintain the achieved results it is recommended not to give up the Kremlin diet, but simply increase the number of points to 60.

We should not forget that any diet is a certain amount of stress to the body. So before you sit down at the Kremlin diet is recommended, after all, consult your doctor. The Kremlin diet is contraindicated in people who suffer from chronic kidney disease, heart, stomach, vascular system.

Crazy about Your Heart? Go Nuts

Are you concerned about your heart health?
Try some nuts.

Nuts for nuts? Good for you, because nuts pack a strong nutritional punch. They get a bad rap for being high in fat, but they shouldn�t�the fats they contain are good-for-you unsaturated fats. Consuming them in moderation on a daily basis can help lower cholesterol, promote heart health and diminish inflammation in your body.


Also don�t forget about seeds. They�re another natural source of protein and healthy fats, which can stand in as a healthy alternative for those who suffer from nut allergies.

Almonds, walnuts and other nuts appear to be cardiac-protective, according to a research published in the British Journal of Nutrition. Researchers identified several nuts among plant foods with the highest total antioxidant content, which may be the key for keeping healthy heart.

Walnuts, pecans and chestnuts have the highest antioxidant content of the tree nuts, with walnuts delivering more than 20 mmol antioxidants per 3 ounces (100 grams). Peanuts (although technically, a legume) also contribute significantly to our dietary intake of antioxidants.

Nuts high antioxidant content helps explain results seen in the Iowa Women's Health Study in which risk of death from cardiovascular and coronary heart diseases showed strong and consistent reductions with increasing nut/peanut butter consumption. Total death rates decreased 11% and 19% for nut/peanut butter intake once per week and 1-4 times per week, respectively.

Researchers at the University of Toronto, Canada have shown that a 2.5 ounce snack of almonds each day can do a better job in lowering blood LDL and raising blood HDL than a whole wheat muffin having the same amount of fat and fiber as almonds. 

They also found that markers of antioxidant status in the body could be improved with the incorporation of almond snacks. It was the many phytonutrients (especially flavonoids) found in almonds that were believed to account for some of these special almond benefits.

Whole Almonds (with Skins) Provide Most Heart Healthy Benefits
New research on almonds adds to the growing evidence that eating whole foods is the best way to promote optimal health.

Even more impressive were the results of a review study of the evidence linking nuts and lower risk of coronary heart disease, also published in the British Journal of Nutrition. In this study, researchers looked at four large prospective epidemiological studies.

The Adventist Health Study,
Iowa Women's Study,
Nurses' Health Study and
The Physician's Health Study.

When evidence from all four studies was combined, persons consuming nuts at least 4 times a week showed a 37% reduced risk of coronary heart disease compared to those who never or seldom ate nuts. Each additional serving of nuts per week was associated with an average 8.3% reduced risk of coronary heart disease.
Eat your nuts

Practical Tip: 
To lower your risk of cardiovascular and coronary heart disease, enjoy a handful of nuts or tablespoon of nut butter at least 4 times a week.
