10 Health Benefits of Mulberries
by Laura Fenamore
I'm a huge fan of dried berries of all kinds, but I'd never had a mulberry until recently. I saw a bag in my local Whole Foods and decided to try them. They are soooo good, it's hard to stop eating the--and I am not even addicted to food anymore! I do love them and think you should consider this healthy snack the next time you are looking for a sweet, healthy snack.
The taste delicious and they're full of nutrition. They are considered an important food remedy in Chinese medicine. Here are ten health benefits. It should be noted that many of these benefits have not been scientifically verified but are traditional folk remedies that have developed in countries where mulberries have been eaten for hundreds of years. I totally am on board with these benefits and wanted to share them with you.
Cancer Prevention: Mulberries are a good source of resveratrol, a potent phytonutrient also found in grapes that researchers believe can prevent cancer and aid in the fight of existing cancers.
Life Extension: Because of their resveratrol content, mulberries may be a tool in one's life extension arsenal, as resveratrol has shown in several studies to extend the life of mice.
Blood Tonic: In Chinese medicine, mulberries are considered a blood tonic, meaning that they cleanse the blood and increase its production, strengthening the entire system.
Kidney Strengthener: In Chinese medicine, mulberries are believed to strengthen the kidneys.
Liver Cleanser: In Chinese medicine, mulberries are believed to be effective in cleansing the liver.
Better Hearing and Vision: In China, tea made with mulberry paste is believed to strengthen one's hearing and vision.
Constipation Cure: In Turkey, a treatment for constipation is to eat white mulberries on an empty stomach with a glass of water.
Anemia Treatment: Because they are quite high in iron, mulberries are a great food to use in the treatment of anemia.
Cold and Flu Treatment: In Turkey, mulberry molasses is used as a treatment for colds and flu. Their effectiveness in this way may be due to their high vitamin C content.
Premature Gray Hair Remedy: In several countries, mulberries are considered an effective remedy for prematurely gray hair.

5 Secrets to Portion Control
by Becky Fox
You may be exercising, watching what you eat, doing all the right things and yet for some reason the pounds just don't seem to be coming off. The culprit may not be what you are eating, but about how much you are eating. If your portions are too big, then you are taking in too many calories, which can lead to weight gain rather than the desired weight loss. So here are 5 ways to decrease those super-sized portions.
1. Know what a serving size is. Here is a quick guide to determine the true size of a serving. Keep this in mind next time you reach in the fridge or cupboard.
A Tennis Ball = A medium sized fruit
A Baseball = A cup of salad greens or cereal
A Golf Ball = A 1/2 cup of cooked pasta or potato
A Ping Pong Ball = 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
A Deck of Cards = 3 oz of meat, fish, or poultry
A Shot Glass = 2 tablespoons of salad dressing
Size of your thumb = 1 oz of cheese
Size of your thumb tip = 1 teaspoon of oil
2. Read nutrition labels. Not sure how many of those goldfish crackers really equal one serving? Read the nutrition label to find out. Compare it to how much you've been eating and you may be surprised to find out how small a serving really is.
3. Only eat half. When you go out to a restaurant only eat half of your meal. Most restaurants bring out supersized portions enough for 2 or even 3 meals. To avoid overeating, have the waiter bring half of your dinner in a to go box before you even get started or you could even split the meal with another person.
4. Avoid all-you-can eat. Avoid buffets or all-you-can eat situations like the plague. As much you think you will have total self control and that you will only eat until you are no longer hungry, it is near impossible. We all know this is not the case and that you will be leaving bloated with your pants unbuttoned. Rather choice restaurants where you can order your meal and have a plan in place for social events.
5. Don't let yourself get hungry. One reason we may tend to eat a lot in one sitting is because we are so hungry. If you are going long periods without eating you are bound to binge. Instead, make sure you are eating something every 3-4 hours, even if it is a small snack. This way when your next meal comes around you won't be tempted to eat more than you need.
