In discussing her new web-log Ayala said, "I really want to help people better understand all the issues surrounding nutrition and health. Each week I will look at a different issue and offer recipes that are not only delicious but healthy too."
The web-log is particularly valuable to anyone interested in today's issues surrounding nutrition and health because each entry cites leading authorities and today's most respected studies. Even better, information that typically is complicated and hard to understand is instead presented in a readable way by Ayala, who, as a physician, is trained to give expert advice.
Ayala is also the creator of Ayala's Herbal Water, a delicious new beverage that is all natural, has zero calories, zero artificial additives and zero preservatives. The water is unique because it features flavors derived from herbs which also bring all the health benefits associated with antioxidants. The new beverage is creating a sensation across the country and has received a string of rave reviews. Ayala's was recently named "Editor's Pick" in Natural Health Magazine, received the "Trailblazer's Award" in Grocery Headquarters magazine and named "Natural Product Pick" in Vital Juice Daily.
In her most recent entry, Ayala looks at a recent study that says Americans get twice as many calories from beverages as they did in the 1960s. Ayala then looks at a variety of other beverage options for consumers, evaluating how they compare in terms of calories and health benefits.
Some of the other issues recently discussed by Ayala include:
-- A look at the USDA list of antioxidant capacities of foods - Ayala
discusses this important study which found that herbs, spices and
chocolate top the USDA list of antioxidant capacities in foods. She
also discussed in easy to understand terms how antioxidants work in our
bodies;
-- Food Additives and Hyperactivity Ayala discussed a recent paper that
warned that children in general, and not just those suffering from ADD
and ADHD, can become more impulsive, inattentive and hyperactive from
the cocktail of artificial extras found in drinks, sweets and processed
foods, and helped readers understand what to look for when reading food
labels.
