South Asians Have a Higher Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke
By Ruby Yusuf
Cardiovascular disease, which includes heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death in Canada as well as in many other countries. People of South Asian descent, in particular, are more vulnerable to heart disease and stroke than the general population. This has been a suspicion long held by many physicians, yet has only recently been confirmed by researchers at Ontario’s McMaster University in an extensive study involving collaborators from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the World Health Organization...

Pairing Wine with Indian Food
|
|
 Are you hesitant about choosing a wine to accompany spicy Indian food? Many people avoid choosing wine in an Indian restaurant, even when there are choices that work well with spicy food. Among Asian cuisines, Indian food probably has the greatest notoriety for being hard to match with wine. Its complex layering of spices and chili heat makes for a tricky challenge. Some wines can be an excellent match to Indian food, but there are a few things that hold people back, including a lack of knowledge, bad wine lists and the "beer me" habit. Wine drinking with Indian food is a new phenomenon. Relatively little has been written about matching wine to richly spiced food, and guidelines seem few and far between. You might think that the wine list at an Indian restaurant is the place to start, but this does not always guarantee a wine that compliments your meal... -By Jessie Lally

| Boost Your Health with Superfoods |
 The term "superfoods" has become the new buzzword in the world of food and nutrition. Initially used to refer to certain foods that have high levels of nutrients combined with disease fighting properties, there is now increasing debate whether the label has become more of a marketing ploy due to lack of standard regulation. While this may be the case with some so-called superfoods, there are still many foods that have been endorsed as "super" by doctors and nutritionists. You may be surprised to find that many of these foods are readily available items that can be effortlessly incorporated into our diets on a regular basis...-By Ruby Yusuf |

 The Secret to Losing Weight the Easy Way:
Eat the Right Foods
With our busy lifestyles, staying slim seems to be an ever increasing challenge. When the pounds creep on what do you do? Many people think that dieting is the key to losing weight. But dieting can be stressful: it's no fun depriving yourself of food and dealing with constant hunger pangs. Along with the physical hardships you may also experience emotional stress as you worry about what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat. These difficulties can cause you to fall off the diet very quickly.
But new research shows that you may be able to lose weight simply by choosing the right foods at mealtimes. No more counting calories or rationing portions-just eat great food and lose weight at the same time. Sound too good to be true? Not according to the latest research...

| How much protein |

How much protein does a pregnant woman need for proper health?
A pregnant woman needs about 80-100 grams of complete protein each day for optimal health. Because prenatal vitamins and mineral supplements do not provide protein it is worth tracking how much you are eating each day during pregnancy.
What is a complete protein and an incomplete protein?
Remember those 9 essential amino acids that are needed through our healthy diet? Animal proteins have all 9 of these essential amino acids and so are considered complete protein sources. There are three groups of vegetable protein sources: grains, legumes or nuts and seeds. These proteins are called incomplete proteins and each group has one or more of the essential amino acids either missing or in only minute amounts.
