Besan (chickpea) flour is substituted for white flour — an excellent Gluten Free source of protein for vegetarians and vegans and diabetes! Besan flour boosts the protein feature of this bread and the absorbable calcium compared to many (so called) supermarket protein breads.

Besan Flour is also an excellent source of carbohydrates for persons with insulin sensitivity or diabetes.

Organic Yellow Pea Flour by Natural Earth Health Products is an excellent Gluten Free source of protein also, as well as antioxidants and fibre and is low in fat — and also may help prevent and manage type 2 diabetes. This occurs by replacing whole wheat flour as an ingredient in creating low glycemic index foods such as easy gluten free protein-boosted bread.

The secondary ingredient (apart from the bananas) is the Organic Almond Meal Raw which has cholesterol-lowering effects, given almonds’ innate ability to reduce heart disease risk — this may also be partly due to the antioxidant action of the vitamin E found in the almonds.

Almonds also promote good cardiovascular health by providing potassium and only small amounts of sodium, making Organic Almond Meal Raw an especially good choice to in protecting against high blood pressure and atherosclerosis.

There are lots of things you could actually do to boost your metabolic rate but for me it really comes down to 4 simple steps. Here’s the 4 crucial steps to speed up your metabolism and to burn fat really fast:

1. Clean your liver
2. Exercise, especially weight bearing exercises.
3. Avoid processed carbohydrates. They really slow down the metabolism.
4. Take supplements that include kelp, lipoic acid, magnesium, omega 3 fats (linseed, fish oils etc)

FACT: the single most powerful way to speed up your body’s metabolism is to actually clean your liver.

Let me share with you the most common symptoms associated with liver dysfunction, that I see are:

• Digestive problems like – indigestion, reflux, gall stones, intolerance to fatty foods and alcohol, abdominal bloating and flatulence, craving for sugar and unstable blood sugars, abnormal metabolism of fats – increased cholesterol, high blood pressure, lumps of fat on the skin (lipomas), inability to lose weight, cellulite, roll of fat around the upper abdomen.
• Then there’s immune dysfunction – allergies, sinusitis, asthma, dermatitis, chemical sensitivities, recurrent viral or bacterial infections.
• Then there’s the nervous system – depression, mood changes, irritability, poor concentration “foggy brain”, recurrent headaches, overheating of the body. Metaphysically the liver is known as the “seat of anger.”
• External signs for these are – coated tongue, bad breath, skin rashes, excessive sweating, offensive body odour, dark circles under the eyes, red palms and soles which may also be itchy.

The ways to clean your liver says Gosia, are: reducing fats and sugars in the diet, taking bitter herbs, drinking raw juices, especially apple, ginger and beetroot, and taking a good liver supplement.

Exercises are essential to build a good health and to stimulate metabolism. The more muscles you have, the faster your metabolism is working.

Processed carbohydrates like cereals, sweets, breads, pasta, and so on, require lots of energy in order to be digested. In return there isn’t much nutrients gained from it, so it is a very unbalanced reaction. Your body also is using the essential nutrients like zinc, magnesium and chromium to digest those useless foods so in a result, the body is deficient in them.

By supplementing with the natural nutrients like kelp, chromium, lipoic acid, magnesium and omega 3 fats, you can accelerate your metabolism and help your body work more efficiently.

Include seeds and nuts in your daily menu where you can.

“Did you ever begin a weight loss diet only to discover you were constantly hungry?”

“This is probably because you were following a low fat regime. Low fat diets are notorious for being virtually impossible to keep to for long, since low fat foods do not satisfy.”

“These diets can be also dangerous. Since so many of your body’s tissues, hormones and all of its cells are dependent on a good supply of essential fats, a low fat regime undermines your overall health.”

FACT: “It may seem bizarre to lose weight by actually eating fat. The secret is however to eat the right kind of fat.

Distinguishing Between Good And Bad Fats

“Did you know that diets high in the wrong fats are just as harmful as low fat regimes.”

“So how do you distinguish between good and bad fats?” Here we go:

Bad Fats

These are the animal saturated fats found in meat, dairy products, ice cream, milk, cheese, and butter.

Good Fats

These are of the fats of vegetable origin — unsaturated oils like avocado, seeds, nuts, flaxseed oil. Also fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines) are a welcome source of good fats.

The good oils (Omega 3 fatty acids) help your body to shed fat stores and are essential for healthy brain function. The cell membranes are made up of essential fatty acids.

The Function Of The Good Fats:

• Increase the metabolism
• Regulate hormonal balance by influencing production of prostaglandins
• They improve sensitivity to insulin, which then helps to regulate blood sugar

Omega 3 fats are destroyed by processing procedures like bleaching, hydrogenation, heating and deodorizing which turn corn, peanuts, and sunflower seeds to those golden oils you buy at the supermarkets. These are trans fats and are of no value for us. Avoid them!

Says Gosia “Omega 3 fats are the best appetite suppressants. Add essential fatty acids to your diet and you gradually begin to feel full and satisfied!”

“Generally introduce more seeds and nuts — such as those found in the premium LSA’s such as Super Strenth LSA’s found on this website’s Store and consume fatty fish.”

Essential fatty acids, or EFAs as they are also known, are fatty acids that cannot be constructed within the human body from other components by any known chemical pathways, and therefore must be obtained from the foods we eat. The best known sources of Omega 3 Fatty Acids are fish oils, fatty fish like mackerel, sardines, or red salmon, flaxseed oil and nuts.

Linseed has the extra health advantage of providing Omega 3 in a concentrated form, which means that even small amounts can be beneficially life-giving to your body’s overall wellness.

Omega 3 plays an essential role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. It provides structural rigidity to cell membranes, decreases the stickiness of blood platelets and helps to reduce blood pressure and blood fats.

• Helps to dissolve body fat
• Increases metabolism & energy
• Burns excess calories instead of depositing them as fatty tissue
• Acts as a solvent helping the body to dissolve and remove hard fats
• Stabilizes blood sugar
• Improves brain function
• Reduces inflammation
• Improves concentration and memory
• Helps depression

Fats improve the taste of foods and send the signal “full” to the human brain. Organic Milled Linseed Flour by Natural earth Health Products is a wonderfully rich source of Omega 3.

The high content of alpha Linolenic acids has made the ancient flax seed become our modern miracle food. Alpha Linolenic acid is a type of plant-derived omega 3 fatty acid, similar to those found in fish.

Researches reveal that lignin in linseed  shows a lot of promise in fighting disease – including a possible role in cancer prevention especially breast cancer. It is thought that lignin metabolites can bind to oestrogen receptors, hence inhibiting the onset of estrogen-stimulated breast cancer.

Organic Milled Linseed Flour by Natural Earth Health Products is:

• High in Omega 3
• Aids in reducing constipation
• High in Fibre
• High in Antioxidants
• Helps lower cholesterol
• Helps to reduce blood pressure
• Helps to lower blood triglyceride
