The Raw Juice Diet

Raw food guru Anya Ladra and her team of expert chefs have created a special menu of low-calorie botanical foods (including some delicious raw chocolate desserts) and juices made from organic plants. The high concentration of enzymes, vitamins and minerals - as well as water - in the raw juice diets, are maintained because they are not lost through cooking processes, keep the body hydrated, nourished and speed up the detoxing process. The smoothies and juices are delicious and high in quality, as are the (albeit tiny) salads that accompany them. However, this 5 day cleanse is again quite pricey at $400!

Detoxes are a huge commitment. Some of them are can really help you cleanse your body while losing a little weight, while some of them are a little more like starving yourself. Do your research before Before doing any of these cleanses to make sure you truly understand the commitment and the nutritional value of the detox. You don't want to begin the process wanting to lose fat and wind up losing muscle mass in the end.

Women Often Experience Myriad Heart Attack Symptoms

Unlike men, women often do not experience classic chest pain symptoms during a heart attack. Instead, they may feel less obvious sensations, such as pain in the jaw, neck, shoulders or back; stomach discomfort; sudden trouble breathing; and even flu-like symptoms, according to a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
What's more, women (and men) who are obese, have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or a family history of heart disease, should be particularly concerned if they experience these symptoms.
The lesson here, said researchers, is that women need to be more aggressive in seeking care if they experience a sudden onset of any symptom that affects their daily life. Women also need to be assertive with their doctors if they feel they are having a heart attack.
That's a great piece of advice for men, too.
