Part of what you eat will be absorbed by your body and becomes part of your body.
The rest will be discharged from your body.
If you eat a lot of unhealthy food, you will still have an unhealthy body even you have sufficient and sound sleep, and have regular exercises of appropriate intensity.
So should you watch what you put in your mouth next time?

Calorie restriction diet: is it just another fad diet? By Debbie Gisonni
It seems that every year a new diet is introduced claiming to finally unlock the secret to weight loss. This year it’s the calorie restriction diet, which is supposed to decrease your weight while increasing your longevity. Even Oprah—the queen of diets—did a show on it. But is it just another fad diet?
The calorie restriction diet is based on eating fewer calories than your body needs to maintain your normal weight. That doesn’t sound like anything new to me—eat less than you need and you’ll naturally lose weight. In fact, that sounds a lot like Weight Watchers’ practice of eating smaller portions. Of course, the calories you do consume in the calorie restriction diet need to come from nutrient rich foods (vegetables and fruits) and lean proteins (chicken and fish). Hmmm, where have I heard that advice before? In just about every diet book and article ever written!
Most of the scientific testing on the calorie restriction diet comes from increasing the life span of rodents. BTW, rats normally only live 2-3 years so an extra month would be a considerable extension of their life. There has been no significant long-term research on actual humans.
I don’t know if the calorie restriction diet will help you live longer and how much longer, but it’s it is safe to assume that if you eat less, you’ll lose weight. Most people will have some success with any diet whether it’s calorie restriction, South Beach, The Zone, Perricone Prescription, Atkins, etc. So, what’s my point? My point is to stop making weight loss so complicated, like it’s a great big secret. Forget about jumping on the latest, most popular diet thinking it’s the road to the fountain of youth, beauty and a size 2. You know what to do to lose weight and stay healthy—eat smaller portions, healthier food and exercise daily. Got it?

Calorie Restriction Best for Weight Loss by Jason
By by Jason
There are so many roads that lead to the same weight loss destination. But according to a review of dozens of clinical trials, the best path to shedding pounds is the old-fashioned way of calorie-cutting and exercising.
In an analysis of 80 weight-loss studies, researchers found that approaches focusing on trimming calories - with or without exercise - were most effective at keeping the pounds off over four years.
On average, participants shed 11 to 19 pounds, then typically gained a little bit back over time.
The study, reported in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, stated that diet and exercise can work over the long haul if people stick to it and have realistic expectations. But, according to the researchers, people need to be prepared for weight loss to taper off after six months.
“Although there is some regain of weight, weight loss can be maintained,” write the researchers, led by Marion J. Franz, a registered dietitian and health consultant with Minneapolis-based Nutrition Concepts by Franz Inc.
Weight-loss medication also seemed to help somewhat in keeping the weight off over the longer-term.

Kaminomoto Hair Growth Accelerator Gold with Kujin Extract for BB's Hair Loss
Important update on 2013-06-30:
Everyday, taking a meal (net weight about 140 grams) of multi wholegrain cereal/rice with nuts, seeds and legumes (beans) and 500 grams of fruits and leafy green vegetables in the form of smoothie will help preventing hair loss. This is based on my personal experience. Note: This is not a medical advice. Please consult your doctor first if you have any medical condition.
To prevent hair loss, I also suggest you do not take any processed foods from Monday to Friday.

Can prostate cancer be prevented? How dietary measures can help? (by DR LEWIS LIEW CHOON HOW, Urologist and Laparoscopic Surgeon)
No specific measures are known to prevent the development of prostate cancer. At present, therefore, we can hope only to prevent progression of the cancer by making early diagnoses and then attempting to cure the disease. Early diagnoses can be made by screening men for prostate cancer. Screening is done, as mentioned previously, by routine yearly digital rectal examinations beginning at age 40 and the addition of an annual PSA test beginning at age 50. The purpose of the screening is to detect early, tiny, or even microscopic cancers that are confined to the prostate gland. Early treatment of these malignancies (cancers) can stop the growth, prevent the spread, and possibly cure the cancer.
Based on some research in animals and people, certain dietary measures have been suggested to prevent the progression of prostate cancer.
For example, low fat diets, particularly avoiding red meats, have been suggested because they are thought to slow down the growth of prostate tumours in a manner not yet known.
Soybean products, which work by decreasing the amount of testosterone circulating in the blood, also reportedly can inhibit the growth of prostate tumours.
Finally, other studies show that tomato products (lycopenes), the mineral selenium, and vitamin E might slow the growth of prostate tumours in ways that are not yet understood.

Finally, other studies show that tomato products (lycopenes), the mineral selenium, and vitamin E might slow the growth of prostate tumours in ways that are not yet understood.

How to reduce high blood pressure? (A real life example of myself) without medicine. No drugs. No exercise. Through Calorie Restriction (CRON)
A few years ago, I used to have a High blood pressure of 140/90 and above.
I believe a combination of the following have helped me to have optimal blood pressure of a normal blood pressure lower than 120/80 most of the time.
(a) Practise calorie restriction with optimal nutrition (CRON). Take CR as a way of life.
(b) A mainly high fiber, low fat, low salt, low sugar, low protein near vegetarian diet.
(c) Everyday, at least 1 apple and 1 orange daily and 100g grapes, 100g bananas and sometimes raw carrot, raw tomato. I take fruits mainly in the form of smoothie.
(d) For convenience, I seldom take other vegetables.
(e) Almost no processed food except coffee and bread.
(f) At least one meal of fat-free, salt-free, sugar-free multigrain porridge daily.
(g) Occasionally I eat a little fish, meat and egg.
(h) Everyday, take Multi-vitamin, vitamin C 100mg, Calcium, etc.
(i) Take about 1.5 liters of water daily.
(j) I do not smoke or take alcohol.
(k) Up to 2009-06-06, I hardly exercise, although I know physical exercise is good for me!
(l) Maintain a healthy weight of BMI of slightly more than 20 but lsee than 21 most of the time.
I hope my experience is useful to you as a reference and look forward to hearing form you if you have any comment and feedback. Thank you.

Calorie Restriction Without Malnutrition: Undernutrition Without Starvation (by male-sexual-health.com)
Calorie restriction without malnutrition is a bold dietary concept in human longevity. The theory, originated from aging research studies, exploits undernutrition for the purpose of preserving the physical processes in a more youthful state.
There are tremendous returns in preserving the physical structure and functionality of the human body. Think of all the things you'll still be able to accomplish, mentally, physically and sexually, because you overcome aging.
The concept of calorie restriction to enhance health and extend life is not so new. Calorie restriction without malnutrition first came to light in the early twentieth century, but it was not until 1930 when researchers discovered calorie restricted animals lived much longer than those allowed to feed freely.
Calorie restriction without malnutrition will certainly postpone the inevitable: heart disease, diabetes, hypertension,immune dysfunction, and cancer. By restricting calories, the body has less stuff to process, and processing produces waste, sometimes toxic, which damage cells.
Other studies have shown that calorie restriction without malnutrition could produce the same longevity effects in adult animals, as it would in young animals. In addition, the longer the period spent on caloric restriction diets, the greater the span of life.
From what researchers know, from the way calorie restriction work in laboratory animals, they are convinced that it will produce the same effects in humans. Learn how calorie restriction without malnutrition can increase your lifespan.
Calorie Restriction Prevents Diseases
A drastic reduction in calorie intake can reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease. People, who practice calorie restriction without malnutrition, have more normal test results than those who don't. Laboratory rats on calorie restricted diets show reduced levels of atherosclerosis.
The restricted diets seem to reduce oxidation damage to the immune system, and provide resistance against infectious diseases. Thus, preventing strokes and heart diseases, caused by hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and of course, aging. More on disease prevention and longevity.
Calorie Restriction Reduces Oxidation
Cells need oxygen to survive. But in the processing of oxygen, toxic waste (free radicals) is produced. Free radicals cause damage to mitochondria, DNA, and protein within the cells.
Studies of adult muscle tissue show tremendous deterioration due to free radical oxidative damage, generally associated with aging. Follow this link to see how reducing calorie intake can reduce oxidation damage.
Calorie Restriction Improves Metabolism
Without CR new nutrients are being created, while older nutrients are not expended quickly enough. This creates a build-up of indisposed nutrients, which clogs the system, and starves vital organs that depend on the supply for survival. Hence the organs malfunction causing the body to age.
Normally, newly formed nutrients replace older ones continuously, to maintain a healthy demand and supply process. With CR, fewer nutrients are formed, allowing the dispensation of older ones, and averting clogs in the system. A more details look at calorie restriction and metabolism.
Calorie Restriction Preserves Brain Function
Research shows severe calorie restriction without malnutrition stops changes in the brain cause by aging. What it did not show was, that calorie restriction improves cognitive abilities cause by aging.
Other studies show calorie restriction produces certain substances in the brain that increases growth and survival of brain cells.
There is sufficient evidence available to prove calorie restriction helps animals live longer, and protects them from the effects of aging. But scientists still don't understand why. Obviously more research is required, but the prospect looks brighter. More on the effects of brain functions and life extension.
Calorie Restriction Mimetics
Although the future outcome of calorie restriction without malnutrition looks promising, few folks are willing to undergo the rigorous regimentation of starving themselves in exchange for a few years longer life. So scientists are determined to ease the pain that could accompany calorie restriction.
After 70 years of research, they now know exactly how calorie restriction works. Hence, they believe they can mimic the effects, using a more pleasant approach, to obtain a similar outcome.
Calorie restriction mimetics are drugs or composites that mimic the outcome of calorie restriction without malnutrition. The concept, if it works, holds the answer to longevity, and the end to major chronic diseases.
Researchers are now working tirelessly to produce a pill that will do the same job as calorie restriction. Mimetics is the answer to calorie restriction without malnutrition.
What Future Holds for Calorie Restriction,
Calorie restriction research shows tremendous promise. But it's not a way of life for everyone. Human life extension studies are, to a great extent, inconclusive. There is no definitive data to write a prescription. So consult your physician before attempting calorie restriction.
The idea of cutting calories to boost oxygen consumption, is in direct conflict with the concept that eating less can add on a few years to your live. However, researchers discovered that calorie restriction lowers metabolism, reduces oxidation damage to cells, preserves brain functions, prevents diseases, and decreases insulin levels, the principal components of aging.
Calorie restriction without malnutrition, as seen in laboratory testing, is the most consistent way to increase lifespan. In a study that compared people who practice calorie restriction as a lifestyle, with those who consumed a normal diet, the calorie-restricted group had a dramatic reduction in risk of heart disease and and diabetes.
In another study, mice that were fed 30 to 40 percent fewer calories, produced more nitric oxide than those that followed an unrestricted diet. Since nitric oxide is a key factor in erectile function, calorie restriction without malnutrition may be essential for improving male sexual health.

Book: Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases (Paperback)
by Charlotte Gerson (Author), Beata Bishop (Author), Joanne Shwed (Editor), Robert Stone (Photographer)
Product Description
There is a split right down the middle of modern medicine. One half, boosted by dazzling high technology, shows brilliant results in handling acute diseases and emergencies.
The other half, dealing with chronic degenerative conditions, is lagging behind, unable to offer more than symptomatic treatment for the most widespread distressing conditions ranging from cancer, heart disease and hypertension to diabetes, arthritis and morbid obesity. It is assumed that these and other "diseases of modern civilization" are both inevitable and incurable.
Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases contradicts all such assumptions. As a complete guide to the theory and practice of the Gerson Therapy, developed over 80 years ago by Dr. Max Gerson, MD (1881-1959), it shows that the increasingly denatured, nutritionally empty, toxic modern diet is the main cause of today's worsening health crisis.
This book offers the solution in the form of a brilliant, precision-built nutritional program that eliminates the underlying causes of disease, leading to lasting cures.
This program is best known for its success in curing many types of cancer, but it also has an excellent track record with a large number of other degenerative conditions.
