Negative calorie diet effect

2010-11-09T22:12:00.001-08:00

What if you could eat a food that not only provided no calories, but actually burned more calories than it provided? Would you eat it?
What effect might it have? And which calories would it be burning?
These are compelling questions. But a negative calorie diet it seems like a ludicrous proposition, something like a perpetual motion machine: great in concept, ineffective in implementation.
But there might be something to it. If a low-calorie food could stimulate your body to process it by creating enzymes, expending more energy than that low-calorie food could produce, the net effect of your caloric intake would be less than zero. If this holds true, you could eat these foods all day and, the more you ate, the more weight you’d lose.
However, most foods we eat today are both higher in calories and easier to process than that. Also, pesticides and other modern pollutants rob food of nutrients that would stimulate that enzymatic process. Preservatives, processed foods, and bad cooking practices finish the job.
So what do you do?
How about a diet primarily consisting of fruits and vegetables?
In a recent study heart patients eating a vegetarian diet with mostly fruits and vegetables, with NO prescribed exercise program and NO decrease in either caloric intake or a reduction in serving sizes, lost an average of 20 pounds each!
Why? One idea is that added enzymes, both from processing vegetables and fruits and inherent in the vegetables themselves, helped accelerate all the chemical reactions in the body, resulting in a faster metabolism.
If one were to identify which foods were negative calorie foods, the diet that resulted would allow you to change part or all of your diet and, without removing any calories, lose a significant amount of weight as well as improving your overall health.
In short, if you were to swap out all your empty calories for a variety of fruits and vegetables equaling the same calories, not only would you get more of the vitamins and minerals you crave, but you’d be adding enzymes that might well increase your metabolic rate, burning off other bad calories at an accelerated rate. It’s like a dream: weight loss and improved health without exercise or starving yourself.

Home Workout

2010-11-09T21:50:00.001-08:00

Another way to get your metabolic burst is to combine your own muscle training exercises with cardio moves such as power walking, elliptical, jumping rope, stair climbing, lunges, dancing, stationary biking and/or treadmill.

Home Workout
Here are some tools you can use: At home items such as a stair well, front door step, and a soft rug to walk/jog in place to protect your feet and lessen the impact is perfect tools for the cardio portion. For resistance training choose light hand weights 3-5 pounds for upper body training or if you don't have hand weights you can use soup cans in a pinch.
Power Shaping Guidelines
1. Write it down - Make sure you schedule your workouts and write them down in your journal this week. Sit down right now with your journal and schedule your workouts for the rest of the week and then commit yourself to making those dates with yourself. Shoot for a minimum of five days per week for 20-60 minutes of continuous exercise. This will help to raise your metabolism while reprogramming your muscles. You will shape up and feel great.
Warm up
Make sure you always warm your body up before you start vigorous exercise. You can do this by with walking in place to music, doing some arm swings or just dance to your favorite high energy music. You cans also take it to the streets by walking around the block for five minutes and follow with five minutes of stretching for your calves, lower back, and hamstrings,
2. Train Smart - Cardio & Weight Segment
[ IMPORTANT: If you feel pain, stop consult your healthy physician. Always consult your health physician before undertaking any new exercise regime]
Begin your cardio segment after your stretch. Begin slow and gradually increase your intensity. Start by walking in place to music. After one minute, pick up a set of light hand weights or soup cans and slowly perform 20 repetitions of Biceps curls. Count 2 seconds to curl the weight up and 2 seconds to lower the weight back down. Then do the same with triceps.
After repeating that sequence two times all the way through. Place the weights down and do a set of 40 alternating lunges. Then pick up your weights and move on to other exercises. Then put down the weights and perform 40 repetitions of plie's. Keep alternating lower body exercises with upper body exercises. At the five-minute mark, take a break from both and walk your stairs, or do step training using a step on your porch. Walk around your block, jump on your treadmill or any other cardio equipment you may have. Perform that cardio for five minutes and start over the entire process from the beginning of the cardio set.
Your goal is 20-45 minutes of cardio/weight training. If you get tired, take a break and come back. Don't quit! Take it one minute at a time. Just keep moving toward your goal. If you really are unfit, then start with five minute intervals and stop id you get faint or dizzy. You must not quit. This is the beginning of your new life. Fatigue is a sign that your body is feeling the effect of the workout.
You can take as many breaks as you like. The goal over these ten weeks is to become fit enough to finish the entire workout. The more you hurt, the more your body needs to start gradually. The key is to start working on restoring your health and reclaiming your power back from life robbing food, negative people and unfortunate circumstances. Stay focused on your goal and never quit. You can go all the way! If I could do it, so can you.
3. Monitor Your Breathing - Once you start the cardio segment, monitor your intensity by measuring your breathing. To be in a good training range, you should be breathing a little heavy but not out of breath. You should be able to carry on a conversation while you are training. Count out loud, sing along with the music, or sing to your kids as they watch. Do some sort of speaking so that you can measure your intensity. Remember Week 1... Speak your destiny!
4. Journal Your Moods, Foods, & Dreams Ink it! - Write down your thoughts, victories and difficulties. Remember to weigh and measure your body this week so that you have an accurate measurement of what is happening with your body. Become a great steward of your body and your success. Write every thing down, then read it out loud to yourself. Look for clues as to why you did what you did, and make mental notes of what you can do better to improve every single day.
When it comes to food, write down every morsel you put into your mouth. Consider it's effect on your body and your long term goals. You have to ask yourself if the nutritional fuel that you consumed this will take you closer to your goal or set you back and move you further away? Once you identify what's going on, if it's good, keep it up, if it's bad, change it and plan ahead so that over time you develop a habit of eating what is best for your body and your health.
Your intentions don't determine your destiny, your habits determine your destiny. You know what works, so do what you know and make success a habit.
5. Track your success - Plan ahead daily. Write out your to do list and make your plans for each day and the entire week every night before you go to bed. Work your plan and plan on succeeding. Don't allow any one or anything to detour you this week. Consider the thousands of other team members on this journey with you, you are a team and you are connected by the spirit. They need your positive energy and success as much as you need theirs.
It takes a critical mass of people for a global change and we are going to change for the better together. We will improve and be different so that we can make a difference. Let's get healthy and change the health statistics in the world together. I will be with you in spirit and I will be Power shaping with you this week.

Your assignment this week:
Your journey of success begins with one task. DO one thing this week that you have been putting off that will give you a sense of accomplishment or enhance your life in some way.

Healthy eating tip : Add calcium & vitamin D for strong bones

Calcium and vitamin D are essential for strong, healthy bones—vitamin D is essential for optimum calcium absorption in the small intestine. Recommended calcium levels are 1000 mg per day, 1200 mg if you are over 50 years old. Take a vitamin D and calcium supplement if you don’t get enough of these nutrients from your diet.

Great sources of calcium include:

Dairy products, which come already fortified with vitamin D.
Dark green, leafy vegetables, such as kale and collard greens
Dried beans and legumes

Healthy eating tip : Limit sugar, salt, and refined grains

If you succeed in planning your diet around fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and good fats, you may find yourself naturally cutting back on foods that can get in the way of your healthy diet—sugar, salt and refined starches.

Sugar and refined starches

It is okay to enjoy sweets in moderation, but try to cut down on sugar. Sugar causes energy ups and downs and adds to health problems like arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, headaches, and depression.

Give recipes a makeover. Often recipes taste just as good with less sugar.
Avoid sugary drinks. One 12-oz soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar in it! Try sparkling water with lemon or a splash of fruit juice.
Eliminate processed foods. Processed foods and foods made with white flour and white sugar cause your blood sugar to go up and down leaving you tired and sapped of energy.

Salt

Salt itself is not bad, but most of us consume too much salt in our diets.

Limit sodium to 2,300 mg per day, the equivalent to one teaspoon of salt. Most of us consume far more than one teaspoon of salt per day.
Avoid processed, packaged, restaurant and fast food. Processed foods like canned soups or frozen meals contain hidden sodium that quickly surpasses the recommended teaspoon a day.

Healthy eating tip : Plan quick and easy meals ahead

Healthy eating starts with great planning. You will have won half the healthy diet battle if you have a well-stocked kitchen, a stash of quick and easy recipes, and plenty of healthy snacks.

Plan your meals by the week or even the month

One of the best ways to have a healthy diet is to prepare your own food and eat in regularly. Pick a few healthy recipes that you and your family like and build a meal schedule around them. If you have three or four meals planned per week and eat leftovers on the other nights, you will be much farther ahead than if you are eating out or having frozen dinners most nights.

Formula For Success

2010-11-09T21:43:00.001-08:00

Your BEHAVIOR, how you act (or fail to act), most directly controls your success or failure. How you act. Your actions. Your behavior. A series of correct actions strung together equals success. So where does your behavior come from or what controls your behavior (actions)? Your old mindset. Your feelings of fear and doubt.
Your FEELINGS controls your behavior. Every action you take is first filtered through your feelings that come up from your non-conscious brain. 87% of your thinking is non conscious. How you feel about something most directly control or effect what you DO and how well you do it (the action). So where do your feelings come from?
Your feelings are created, controlled, or most directly influenced by your ATTITUDES, past references , thoughts and conditions from others who have shaped your thinking during your development years. Right or wrong, real or imagined.
Your attitude is your perspective from which you view life. Whatever attitude you have about any thing will effect how you feel, which effects how you act. In order to possess the right feelings to create correct actions you need good attitudes. So where do your attitudes come from?
Your attitudes are no accident. They are created, controlled and most directly influenced by- Your BELIEFS, real or IMAGINED. What you believe about any thing will determine your attitude about it, create your feelings, and direct your action.
Belief neuron patterns are so powerful that they can even make something appear to be different from what it REALLY is! Belief does not require things to factually be the way we see it! It only requires us to believe that it is! So where do your beliefs come from?
Your beliefs are created, controlled and most directly influenced by your THOUGHTS. And where do your thoughts come from? Your thoughts come from everything you accept from the outside would and everything you feed yourself from within are a product of your thoughts, and your thoughts are real things!
Therefore, if you learn scientifically to control your thoughts, you will AUTOMATICALLY CONTROL your-beliefs-attitudes-feelings and ACTIONS.

Control your thoughts + Taking Correct Action = Control your life.

No matter how nervous, frightened, upset or frustrated you get, right now focus your attention and thoughts on YOUR Perfect Result. Teach your mind how to line up with your ultimate desires. Think Power! Think Victory! Think Peace and Joy and Greatness. And watch the desires of your heart manifest.

Finally, it is good to care about your appearance and weight but do not take it very seriously. There are more important aspects of a person’s character that bypass the external appearance and enrich the internal beauty. Do not lose your confidence and self esteem and be sure that weight loss is a problem that you can tackle if you really want to. It sometimes takes more time then you might think but there is absolutely no reason why you cannot make it.

Healthy eating tips

2010-11-09T21:41:00.001-08:00

Healthy eating tip : It's not just what you eat, it's how you eat

Healthy eating is about more than the food on your plate—it is also about how you think about food. Healthy eating habits can be learned and it is important to slow down and think about food as nourishment rather than just something to gulp down in between meetings or on the way to pick up the kids.

Eat with others whenever possible. Eating with other people has numerous social and emotional benefits—particularly for children—and allows you to model healthy eating habits. Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.
Take time to chew your food and enjoy mealtimes. Chew your food slowly, savoring every bite. We tend to rush though our meals, forgetting to actually taste the flavors and feel the textures of what is in our mouths. Reconnect with the joy of eating.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry, or have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty instead of hungry. During a meal, stop eating before you feel full. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly.
Eat breakfast, and eat smaller meals throughout the day. A healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism, and eating small, healthy meals throughout the day (rather than the standard three large meals) keeps your energy up and your metabolism going.

Healthy eating tip : Moderation is key

People often think of healthy eating as an all or nothing proposition, but a key foundation for any healthy diet is moderation. Despite what certain fad diets would have you believe, we all need a balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to sustain a healthy body.

Try not to think of certain foods as “off limits.” When you ban certain foods or food groups, it is natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to temptation. If you are drawn towards sweet, salty or unhealthy foods, start by reducing portion sizes and not eating them as often. Later you may find yourself craving them less or thinking of them as only occasional indulgences.
Think smaller portions. Serving sizes have ballooned recently, particularly in restaurants. When dining out, choose a starter instead of an entrée, split a dish with a friend, and don’t order supersized anything. At home, use smaller plates, think about serving sizes in realistic terms and start small. Visual cues can help with portion sizes—your serving of meat, fish or chicken should be the size of a deck of cards. A teaspoon of oil or salad dressing is about the size of a matchbook and your slice of bread should be the size of a CD case.

Healthy eating tip : Set yourself up for success

To set yourself up for success, think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will have a healthy diet sooner than you think.

Simplify. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety and freshness—then it should be easier to make healthy choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more delicious.
Start slow and make changes to your eating habits over time. Trying to make your diet healthy overnight isn’t realistic or smart. Changing everything at once usually leads to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan. Make small steps, like adding a salad (full of different color vegetables) to your diet once a day or switching from butter to olive oil when cooking. As your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more healthy choices to your diet.
Every change you make to improve your diet matters. You don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to completely eliminate foods you enjoy to have a healthy diet. The long term goal is to feel good, have more energy and reduce the risk of cancer and disease. Don’t let your missteps derail you—every healthy food choice you make counts.

Eat more healthy carbs and whole grains

2010-11-09T21:39:00.001-08:00

Healthy eating tip : Eat more healthy carbs and whole grains

Choose healthy carbohydrates and fiber sources, especially whole grains, for long lasting energy. In addition to being delicious and satisfying, whole grains are rich in phytochemicals and antioxidants, which help to protect against coronary heart disease, certain cancers, and diabetes. Studies have shown people who eat more whole grains tend to have a healthier heart.

A quick definition of healthy carbs and unhealthy carbs

Healthy carbs (sometimes known as good carbs) include whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables. Healthy carbs are digested slowly, helping you feel full longer and keeping blood sugar and insulin levels stable.

Unhealthy carbs (or bad carbs) are foods such as white flour, refined sugar and white rice that have been stripped of all bran, fiber and nutrients. Unhealthy carbs digest quickly and cause spikes in blood sugar levels and energy.

Include a variety of whole grains in your healthy diet, including whole wheat, brown rice, millet, quinoa, and barley. Experiment with different grains to find your favorites.
Make sure you're really getting whole grains. Be aware that the words stone-ground, multi-grain, 100% wheat, or bran, don’t necessarily mean that a product is whole grain. Look for the new Whole Grain Stamp. If there is no stamp look for the words “whole grain” or “100% whole wheat,” and check the ingredients.
Try mixing grains as a first step to switching to whole grains. If whole grains, like brown rice and whole wheat pasta, don’t sound good at first, start by mixing what you normally use with the whole grains. You can gradually increase the whole grain to 100%.

Avoid: Refined grains such as breads, pastas, and breakfast cereals that are not whole grain.

Fiber: An essential component of a healthy diet

Dietary fiber, found in plant foods (fruit, vegetables and whole grains) is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system. Fiber helps support a healthy diet by helping you feel full faster and for a longer amount of time, and keeping your blood sugar stable. A healthy diet contains approximately 20-30 grams of fiber a day, but most of us only get about half that amount.
The two types of fiber are soluble and insoluble.

Soluble fiber can dissolve in water and can also help to lower blood fats and maintain blood sugar. Primary sources are beans, fruit and oat products.
Insoluble fiber cannot dissolve in water, so it passes directly through the digestive system. It’s found in whole grain products and vegetables.

Protien diet

2010-11-09T21:37:00.001-08:00

Healthy eating tip : Put protein in perspective

Protein gives us the energy to get up and go—and keep going. Protein in food is broken down into the 20 amino acids that are the body’s basic building blocks for growth and energy, and essential for maintaining cells, tissues and organs. A lack of protein in our diet can slow growth, reduce muscle mass, lower immunity, and weaken the heart and respiratory system. Protein is particularly important for children, whose bodies are growing and changing daily.

Here are some guidelines for including protein in your healthy diet:

Try different types of protein. Whether or not you are a vegetarian, trying different protein sources—such as beans, nuts, seeds, peas, tofu and soy products—will open up new options for healthy mealtimes.

Beans: Black beans, navy beans, garbanzos, and lentils are good options.
Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, pistachios and pecans are great choices.
Soy products: Try tofu, soy milk, tempeh and veggie burgers for a change.
Avoid salted or sugary nuts and refried beans.

Downsize your portions of protein. Most people, eat too much protein. Try to move away from protein being the center of your meal. Focus on equal servings of protein, whole grains, and vegetables.

Focus on quality sources of protein, like fresh fish, chicken or turkey, tofu, eggs, beans or nuts. When you are having meat, chicken, or turkey, buy meat that is free of hormones and antibiotics.

Complete, incomplete and complementary proteins

A complete protein source—from animal proteins such as meat, poultry, fish, milk, cheese and eggs—provides all of the essential amino acids.
An incomplete protein—from vegetable proteins like grains, legumes, nuts, seeds and beans—is low in one or more essential amino acids.
Complementary proteins are two or more incomplete protein sources that together provide all of the essential amino acids your body needs. For example, rice and dry beans are each incomplete proteins, but together they provide all of the essential amino acids.
Do complementary proteins need to be eaten in the same meal? Research shows that your body can combine complementary proteins that are eaten within the same day.
Why are complete and complementary proteins important? Complete and complementary proteins that provide all of the essential amino acids will fill you up longer than carbohydrates because they break down more slowly in the digestive process.

Healthy meals

2010-11-09T21:22:00.001-08:00

Challenge yourself to come up with two or three dinners that can be put together without going to the store—utilizing things in your pantry, freezer and spice rack. A delicious dinner of whole grain pasta with a quick tomato sauce or a quick and easy black bean quesadilla on a whole wheat flour tortilla (among endless other recipes) could act as your go-to meal when you are just too busy to shop or cook.

Try to keep your kitchen stocked with recipe basics:

Fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables.
Recipe and soup starters such as garlic, onions, carrots, and celery.
Healthy staples like brown rice, white Basmati rice, whole-wheat pasta, quinoa, and wild rice.
Whole wheat bread and tortillas for healthy sandwiches and wraps.
Beans such as lentils, black beans, chickpeas, black-eyed peas, kidney beans, fava beans, and lima beans.
Frozen corn, peas, and other vegetables to add to recipes or for a quick vegetable side dish.
Frozen fruit and berries to make smoothies or frozen desserts.
Dark greens for salads, plus salad add-ins like dried fruit, nuts, beans, and seeds.
Fresh and dried herbs and spices.
Healthy fats and oils for cooking, such as olive oil and canola oil. You can also try specialty oils like peanut, sesame, or truffle oil for adding flavor.
Unsalted nuts for snacking, like almonds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, and pistachios.
Vinegars, such as balsamic, red wine, and rice vinegar for salads and veggies.
Strong cheeses, like aged Parmesan or blue cheese for intense flavor in salads, pasta, and soups.

Water Drinking Benefits

2010-11-09T21:16:00.001-08:00

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese med ical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, ga str itis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and men str ual diso rd ers, ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT

1.. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water .....interesting

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:

1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days

2. Gastr ic - 10 days

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.
Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ...not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed . It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack..

Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.

Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

Walking Benefits

2010-11-09T20:58:00.001-08:00

Keep Walking.....

The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the heart is on the left foot.

Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to.

It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.

This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.

God created our body so well. He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated at all times.

So, keep walking...

Avoiding High calories office food

2010-11-09T20:48:00.001-08:00

Are you fed up of meetings and office get together s where the only food they serve is high calorie food like cake, Danish, pizza, biscuits and other high fat snacks?
There's no need to feel unsociable or avoid these gatherings while you are trying to lose weight, if you plan ahead. Keeping nutritious snacks at the office can help you achieve your weight loss goals while everyone around you is letting their guard down.
Here are some ideas about what to keep handy:
Water Bottle:
Most offices these days have water coolers where you can get yourself a glass of cool refreshing water whenever you want. The problem is, that sometimes you get so busy that you can go hours without filling your empty glass.
Drinking water is far too important to your overall health and weight loss aspirations to leave to chance and having a decent sized bottle of water at your desk all the time will help insure you're getting enough.
The other great benefit of using a large bottle instead of glasses or cups of water is that you can easily track how much you've consumed during your day. Having plenty of water within your reach at all times will keep you well hydrated and help you avoid the office munchies by keeping your stomach nice and full.
Fruit:
Each couple of days, bring a bag of fresh fruit to the office and store it at your desk. Try to be adventurous; don't just stick with the common fare of apples and mandarins. Berries, grapes, mangos and kiwi fruit will keep for several days, more if you have access to an office refrigerator, and provide variety to whet your appetite for something other than chocolate biscuits.
If you have a blender, take it to work with you and create a wonderful smoothie or fruit cocktail made with banana, pear, apple, pineapple, strawberries, orange juice and ice. Store it in the office fridge and it will stay good for a whole day or more.
Nutritious Snack or Protein bars:
You can also use these as meal replacements, but be careful to read the labels. Many "nutritional bars" are nothing more than candy bars in deceptive packaging. Stay well away from those with high levels of sugar and fat.
Vegetables:
Bring a couple of small ziplocked bags of sliced carrot, celery sticks or your favorite veggies.
Low-fat cottage cheese/low sugar yogurt:
Small containers of these on hand will provide nutritional meal options.
Ricecakes:
A bag of low-sodium ricecakes tucked away can satisfy a need to eat something crunchy. Just stay away from the ones loaded with flavored sugar coating.
Toothbrush/Mouthwash:
Apparently, this is an age old competitive bodybuilding trick. During pre-contest dieting, some bodybuilders attempt to deflect the temptation to eat blacklisted foods within reach by brushing their teeth. As you can imagine, the last thing they would want to do after brushing with minty toothpaste or gargling with mouthwash would be to eat a piece of chocolate or lollies. Not bad for keeping your breath fresh, too.
Utensils:
Make sure you have a serving or two of utensils at your desk, along with something to cut your food if needed.
Thermal-Lunch-bags:
If you don't have a fridge or cooking facilities at work, take an insulated lunch-bag or thermal to work. The lunch-bag will keep your fruit, sandwiches and other nutritional snacks safe and fresh until your ready to eat and a thermal is perfect for taking healthy vegetable soups to work for that perfect winter snack.
The first step to staying on track with your eating program, particularly at work, is planning ahead. You don't have the power to control what your co-workers bring into the office, but you can help ward off temptation by stocking up on a few items of your own.
Remember, the point is to not make your own desk resemble a supermarket aisle, but to have enough options on hand in order to substitute for the really bad stuff should the need arise.

The key to weight loss success-Exercise Consistency

2010-11-09T20:46:00.001-08:00

If you’re exercising for weight loss, the most important factor isn’t the exercises you perform, or the duration of your workouts, or even the intensity of your workouts.
These all do have a bearing on how many calories you burn during your workouts, but the single most important contributing factor to your weight loss success is the consistency of your workouts.
We’ve all heard that the secret to achieving sustainable weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight is lifestyle. And what exactly is lifestyle?
Lifestyle is a term used to describe what we do most commonly on day to day basis. That is, what we eat most regularly and how regularly we’re active. In other words, what we eat and do consistently.
To help you exercise more regularly, here are our top tips:

1. When you begin exercising, start off very slowly and build your workout intensity, duration and frequency gradually over weeks and months. The worst thing you can do is overdo it initially by exercising too hard, too long, or too often.
2. Try to exercise at the same time of the day for each workout. This will help you get into the habit of exercising and help you manage your other life commitments around your exercise program.
3. Mix up your workouts. This will help prevent boredom and will encourage total fitness and maximum health and weight loss benefits. Be sure to include both cardiovascular exercises (walking, jogging, cycling, etc) with muscle strengthening and stretching exercises (weight lifting, Yoga, Pilates, body weight exercises, etc).
4. Find yourself a workout buddy or two. This will also help prevent boredom and will encourage you to exercise when you don’t feel like it. Work colleagues, friends and family make the best workout buddies, but if you’re struggling to find someone with a common goal and interest in exercising regularly, there are plenty of online walking group forums and exercise forums where you can search for someone friendly to exercise with.
5. Find exercises that you enjoy and do these the most. For example, if you like walking the best, make walking the exercise you do most and supplement your walking with some other exercise (like cycling or Pilates) on occasion.
6. Treat yourself to some exercise gadgets or new exercise outfits now and then. Great examples are heart rate monitors, new bicycles, exercise DVD’s, or even just a new pair of runners. It’s amazing how things like these can motivate you to exercise, even if it’s just while you work your way out of a slump.
7. Match your workouts to the seasons. For example, if it’s the middle of winter and it’s freezing cold outside, it’s not a good time to begin jogging outdoors. It might be a better idea to sign up for some Yoga or Pilates classes until the weather warms up a bit. Then you can start jogging.
8. Consider getting professional help to get you started or keep you going. A personal trainer can help you plan your workouts and show you how to perform a large variety of exercises to keep your workouts safe, interesting and effective.
If you’re exercising for weight loss, the most important factor isn’t the exercises you perform, or the duration of your workouts, or even the intensity of your workouts.
These all do have a bearing on how many calories you burn during your workouts, but the single most important contributing factor to your weight loss success is the consistency of your workouts.
We hope you’re now convinced of this fact and have enjoyed our tips to help you exercise more regularly and achieve your weight loss goals.

Information about Healthy vegetables

2010-11-09T20:44:00.001-08:00

ASPARAGUS
Available in early spring. Can be expensive due to difficulty in cultivating. Its claim to fame is the amino acid aspargagine which is destroyed by cooking. Aspargagine is astrong diuretic, stimulating the kidneys.
Asparagus is a great blood cleanser and excellent for healthy bowel maintenance. Some even find that it soothes a nervous mind. You may find your urine turning dark and develop a strong odor. This is a harmless byproduct of asparagus. Asparagus contains beta-carotene, vitamins B1 and C, bioflavinoids, potassium, and vitamin C.
Whether large or small, asparagus is equally good. Fresh, it will be bright green and firm to the tip. Will keep a couple of days in the refrigerator. Excellent to juice with carrots.
BEETS
Famous for their ability to cleanse the blood. Beets contain calcium, sulfur, iron, potassium, choline, beta-carotene and vitamin C.
Beets are also high in minerals which strengthen the liver and gall bladder, and are the building blocks for blood corpuscles and cells. Beet greens are excellent for salads and juicing. Beet greens good source of carotenoids which help in the prevention of all types of cancers. They are high in manganese which is an important mineral for brain function.
Beet juice is very concentrated. Do not drink it alone. Dilute with a milder juice such as carrot or apple. Beet juice has been proven therapeutic in the treatment of leukemia and cancer.
In a clinical trial, 22 patients with advanced inoperable cancers were given 10 oz. of beet juice daily over 3 to 4 months. Twenty-one of these patients showed marked improvement in health.
Beets cause the stool to turn red and may even give the urine a reddish tinge. When juicing beets, alternate between pieces of beets and pieces of carrots, otherwise the beet pulp tends to build up on the side of the spinning extraction basket and causes the juicer to vibrate.
Lactofermented beet juice is fermented with lacto bacillus, making it sweeter. On a juice fast, this delicious juice is like a bottle of Champagne.
Purchase firm, rock-hard beets. Being a root, they can be stored for months in the refrigerator.
BROCCOLI
Broccoli is a flower top picked before it blooms. It is dense in nutrition, full of beta carotene and an excellent source of fiber. Inexpensive and available all year round. It is full of vitamins B1 and C and has a generous amount of calcium, sulfur and potassium. Surprisingly, forty-five percent of calories in broccoli is protein.
The National Cancer Institute discovered a substance called inderol-3 that emulsifies estrogen, reducing the risk of breast cancer in women. Broccoli is excellent when juiced, stems and all, but like all green vegetables, it should be mixed with lighter juices such as carrot or apple.
When buying broccoli, look for tight tops with no yellow, firm but not limp. Will store well for 5 days in the refrigerator.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS
In the cabbage family, similar in nutritional value to broccoli. Good source of vitamin C, potassium, calcium, sulfur, vitamin A, and a decent amount of protein. Forty-four percent of calories in brussels sprout come from protein.
Look for dark green coloration with no wilting or yellowing. Should have a light smell. A good addition to juice.
CABBAGE
A vegetable full of history. It was a mainstay during the great depression, but unfortunately was often overcooked and garnished with fat.
Cooking cabbage destroys most of its nutritious value and causes gas because of the sulfur. Raw is an excellent source of beta-carotene, sulfur, vitamin C and the trace mineral, selenium which is excellent for fighting cancer, protecting against heart disease, improving conditions of arthritis, slowing the aging process, giving beautiful skin and increasing male potency. Within cabbage is a delicate amino acid called glutamine which is excellent for healing stomach disorders including ulcers.
When making cabbage juice, it must be consumed within 60 seconds or this precious amino acid will begin to decay. If straight cabbage juice causes gas, mix with carrot and celery.
Look for heavy firm hard heads. (not advisable when shopping for a husband) Will keep up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
CARROTS
Deep within the soils of the earth grows a golden root that has amazed nutritionists and scientists alike in its powerful healing qualities. One 8 oz. glass of carrot juice contains 20,000 mg. of vitamin A. Toxicity can occur when vitamin A is taken in supplement form or fish oil, but is completely safe in the vegetable form. Vitamin A is an antioxidant that is able to attach to free radicals in the body, stopping them in their tracks. The damaging effect of free radicals has been associated with cancer.
Carrots are a natural blast of high energy. The sugars are released more quickly than from white sugar but without the harmful effects. A mug of carrot juice in the morning will give you a competitive edge over coffee drinkers. Like all root vegetables, they are packed with minerals. Carrots are rich in organic calcium that is invaluable to bones and teeth. Inorganic calcium is almost useless to the body. The calcium in milk and white bread is inorganic and known to cause arthritis and gallstones.
Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin C, including most of the B complex, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and sodium.Carrots are easy to digest and cause the liver to release bile and excessive accumulated cholesterol. They also have an alkalizing effect on the blood, soothing the entire nervous system and toning intestinal walls.
Carrot juice is the best base for vegetable juice combinations. It is delicious, sweet and readily accepted by children. Our family can go through a 50 lb. bag every two weeks.
Carrot juice is considered the Golden Juice of Healing. Even drinking a few glasses a day has healed many infirmities without fasting. During fasting, its healing effect is increased. Carrot juice helps in cleansing the liver.
Drinking large amounts may cause the harmless effect of a slight yellowish color of the skin. Skin will feel velvety soft. The beta carotene present in the skin is a natural protector for the common skin cancer, melanoma. It also assists in tanning, which hides some of the obvious effects of being on a long juice fast.
Juicing two to five pounds of carrots a day is standard for juice fasting. Unless carrots are fresh, the juice tastes better if they are peeled. If you don’t have the time to peel them, put the carrots in the sink and scrub with a brush.
In purchasing carrots for juicing, your local vegetable wholesaler can supply you with large juicing carrots in 50 lb. bags at an affordable price. Carrots should be firm, smooth skinned, without cracks or small rootlets. The brighter the orange the sweeter the carrots. They will keep for weeks in the refrigerator and months in a root cellar.
TIP: Carrots can keep up to a year when stored in sand in a root cellar.
CAULIFLOWER
My favorite vegetable to dip. Good source of potassium and phosphorus and inderol-3. A delicious addition to juice.
Look for tight firm white heads free from brown. Will keep in refrigerator for 5 days.
CELERY
A delicious crunchy finger food, great for dips. It is high in magnesium and iron. High in chlorophyll which is an excellent blood builder. One of the richest sources of organic sodium. This is excellent for those who enjoy vigorous workouts, maintaining valuable body fluid and electrolytes.

Celery juice is a superb nerve tonic. Celery juice alone tastes bitter and is usually mixed with carrots or apples. Great for adding a salty taste to vegetable juices.
Do you have a headache? Drink a glass of celery juice. Even the ancient Greeks used celery for the universal problem of headaches.
Do you live in the inner city full of air pollution? Celery apple juice is able to cleanse the body of carbon dioxide.
Were you thinking of buying an air conditioner? Celery juice cools down the body and is great for hot weather.
Are you on a diet and craving a snickers bar?Celery juice helps curb the craving for sweets.
Do you have a problem with muscle cramps and fatigue during workouts? The potassium sodium balance in celery juice will be a great asset.
Always keep celery leaves on. Leave celery until last when juicing because it is stringy and clogs the juice machine. Look for firm solid stocks with bright green leaves.
CUCUMBER
Being as cool as a cucumber comes from the fact that the internal temperature of cucumbers remains 20 degrees lower than the external temperature on a hot day. People living in the Middle East and India have been eating cucumbers for hundreds of years as a natural coolant.
When buying cucumber for juicing, look for non-waxed which allows you to juice the cucumber in its skin.
Always wash vegetables thoroughly before juicing. This juice contains 40% potassium, 10% sodium, 7% calcium, 20% phosphorus and 7% choline. It is also an excellent source of silicon.
Cucumber is good to rub on your skin, giving it elasticity, resulting in a more youthful complexion. It is even suspected of reducing hair loss. Cucumber juice is usually mixed with other juices.

Look for firm cucumbers with a dark green, wrinkle-free skin. Will store in refrigerator for 6 days.
COLLARDS
Per calorie, collards have more calcium than milk. Thirty calories of collards, one cup, contains an incredible 218 grams of calcium! It is twice as high in vitamin A as carrots.
An excellent source of organic highly absorbable iron and high in chlorophyll.
Look for crisp leaves, free from wilting and without spots.
FENNEL
If you enjoy the taste of licorice, you will love fennel. This unusual vegetable looks like a fat celery plant with feathers. In fact, it is in the celery family and has much of the same nutritional qualities.
Its distinct flavor really spices up a salad. Some have found fennel juice good for relieving migraine headaches and the eyes to become more sensitive, overcoming night blindness.
Look for white solid bulb with healthy leaves. Will keep in the refrigerator for one week.
GARLIC
There are entire books written about the curative abilities of garlic.
Research suggests it reduces blood pressure, helps with the problem of blood clotting, lowering the LDL which increases bad cholesterol, boosts the immune system and encourages recovering heart attack victims. Garlic’s famous smell comes from allicin, which inhibits bacterial growth and fungus. It also helps with an overgrowth of yeast in the body and is used in treating candida. Therefore, do not use odorless garlic pills. If they don’t smell, your body can’t tell.
Garlic increases the flow of digestive enzymes and encourages detoxification through the skin. Despite the odor which comes through the skin, garlic is good for you. Throwing a clove of garlic in your vegetable juice every day will be excellent for your health, nonetheless, it may reduce your social life. One clove in the juicer is enough. Five cloves will encourage a life of solitude, unless you
can educate all your friends, family and people within a thirty foot radius of the incredible properties of fresh raw garlic juice.
GINGER ROOT
If you feel a cold coming on, or if you have a bout of laryngitis, juicing a small piece of ginger root with your carrots is a perfect solution.
Great for making ginger tea or spicing up herbal tea. For ginger tea, steep in hot water for 20 min.
KALE
Has similar nutritional qualities to its close relative, the cabbage. An excellent source of calcium. Look for solid, deep green leaves.
Will store in refrigerator for 5 days.
LETTUCE
Iceberg lettuce or head lettuce is useless. You might as well drink a glass of water for the amount of nutritional value.
The leaves of romaine, Boston, Bibb or any leaf lettuce that is dark green in color will be rich in chlorophyll.
There is absolutely nothing more refreshingly delicious and filling than a bowl of fresh tossed salad with flax seed oil, good tasting yeast and lemon juice.
Good source of sulfur, chlorine, silicon, B complex, all contributing to hair growth, healthy skin and defense against lung cancer. Lettuce is a wonderful addition to any vegetable juice. Adding any green, leafy vegetable to juice will add chlorophyll which immediately enters the bloodstream.
Leaves should be crisp with no dark spots. The darker green the better.
OKRA
Raw okra is extremely helpful for those who suffer with inflammation of the intestines. By itself, it tends to have a slimy texture, but can be ground with lettuce leaves or spinach and added to a salad. Okra encourages the secreting of digestive juices which is soothing to the colon, bladder and kidneys.
ONIONS
Onion is in the garlic family and have many of the same therapeutic properties. Their strong flavor is attributed to natural oil which strengthens the nervous system and encourages the growth of healthy bacteria. Large Spanish onions are sweeter and milder in flavor which makes them excellent in salads.
Onion added to juice mixtures is excellent in helping to loosen and rid the body of excess mucus.

Easy Weight Loss Tips

2010-01-04T23:59:00.000-08:00

Weight loss success depends on a lot of factors. There are some easy weight loss tips to follow that will certainly help your weigh loss efforts and lead your weight loss to success.

Weight loss tips #1: Be SMART

Create a SMART weight loss plan! SMART means: Specific, Measured, Appropriate, Realistic, and Time-bound as regards what you want to achieve. For example, if your weight loss goal is to improve your physical exercise, then note the type of exercise you plan to do, how many times each week you can realistically exercise, and for how long you will exercise each time. Start with short term, easy and realistic goals,and work your way up to bigger and more difficult to achieve goals.

Weight loss tips #2: Keep an eye on the portion size

Keep an eye on the food portion size! Did you know that most of the times we eat almost everything that is on our plate, no matter what the size of the plate is? When eating at home, try eating in smaller plates; this will help you eat smaller food portions. When dinning out you need to be extra careful about the size of the food portions you eat. Studies have showed that food portions today are often big enough for two or more people to share.

Weight loss tips #3: Reward yourself when you succeed your weight loss goals

Make yourself a reward you cannot refuse. Before starting your efforts to meet your next weight loss goal, make yourself a promise like this, “If I reach my weight loss goals this (day, week, month), I will reward myself with a gift (but not a food reward.). Think of something you really need, such as a day off, a nice relaxing massage, a good movie, or even something towards a larger reward. Be creative, set up offers for yourself at frequent periods and make sure you reward yourself when you reach your weight loss goals.

Weight loss tips #4: Exercise regularly

How much is enough exercise? You need to exercise for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity per day. You need to do that for the most days of the week to help burn up the extra calories. But in order to achieve this you need to give yourself credit for the physical activities that you are already doing. Common physical activities such as climbing stairs, walking and gardening all account as physical activity. Just make sure you devote enough time in them.

Weight loss tips #5: Keep a weight loss journal

Keep a weight loss journal. Keep a journal of what you eat and how much exercise you are doing each day. Then, towards the end of each week, take not of your current weight in the same journal. You and your weight loss assistance (professional) can make use of this information to create an appropriate eating and physical exercise plan so as to find the best way to reach your weight loss goals.

Weight loss tips #6: I am hungry?

I am still hungry? You need to continuously ask your self this question and you should know that it may take longer to answer it than you think. It takes around 20 minutes or more for the message that we are not longer hungry to get from our brain to our stomach. So take a break before eating that next helping. Do you have troubles feeling full? Drink eight glasses or more of water or other non-caloric beverages on a daily basis. This will help you fill you up and keeps you refreshed. Also, another weight loss tip is to eat a lot of vegetables and fruits because they can help you feel fuller, especially when eaten raw.

Quick Weight Loss Tips – Food Factors

2010-01-04T23:45:00.000-08:00

When it comes to finding quick weight loss diet tips that work, selecting your foods for your diet can be a real balancing act. You have to lose some of what you’ve grown accustomed to and add some items that may be new to you. Here’s some quick weight loss tips that experts recommend to promote weight loss.
Quick Weight Loss Tips #1 – Reduce fat.
With regard EO fat, the research is clear: Diets too high in fat promote overweight and obesity. You should strive to consume no more than 25 percent of your calories from fat – and that fat should the “non-saturated” type.
Quick Weight Loss Tips # 2 – Don’t be so sweet.
Numerous studies have linked table sugar to increased calorie consumption. While sugar doesn’t do as much dietary damage as fat, you’ll find that when you eat sweets, you simply want to eat more… of everything. Not only that, but sugar also makes your body excrete chromium, and chromium is a mineral that helps your body build calorie-burning lean tissue – so you want to keep your chromium levels up.
Quick Weight Loss Tips #3 – Drink up.
“If people want to keep their nutrients in balance, they need to drink plenty of plain, unflavored water every day,” says Judy Dodd, R.D., past president of the American Dietetic Association. Water not only acts as a solvent for many vitamins and minerals but also is responsible for carrying nutrients into and wastes out of cells, so the body functions properly. As a rule of thumb, you should drink a half-ounce of water for every pound of body weight daily, unless you’re very active, in which case you should increase your water intake to two-thirds of an ounce per pound of body weight daily. So if you weigh 100 pounds, you should drink 50 ounces of water a day as a minimum
Quick Weight Loss Tips #4 – Fill up on fiber.
You can curb your hunger by increasing your intake of dietary fiber, which is filling, so you feel full but eat less. For these diet tips, experts recommend eating more fruits, vegetables and wholegrain cereals.
Quick Weight Loss Tips #5 – Get treatment for food allergies.
Some researchers believe that being overweight is the result of people craving foods that they are allergic to. For these people, weight loss is extremely difficult until they figure out what those trigger foods are and eliminate them from their diets.
“There are specific food allergies that trigger uncontrollable craving and bingeing,” “It’s a common problem in overeaters.”
If you suspect that food allergies might be part of your problem, ask your doctor to help you identify the offending items. Your doctor may recommend that you see an allergy specialist.

10 Weight loss tips for a fast and healthy weight loss

2010-01-04T23:37:00.000-08:00

1. Start your day with 30 minutes running (hungry) before breakfast. When you wake in the morning the glycogen in your bodies is low. This means that in the morning running burns more fat.
2. Drink every morning a glass of water with a little lemon juice. If it is difficult to drink it then you can drink chamomile or green tea or any other warm drink and prefer to mix it with a spoonful of honey. It stimulates the function of the gut, activates the metabolism and helps to make a good preparation in the stomach before we accept the food we consume. Also, the lemon is known for its capacity to assist in burning fat and weight loss.
3. Consume 1 to 2 servings of green vegetables daily. Except that can help you loose weight, they contribute to good mood and health and also help in maintaining youthful skin.
4. Replace processed white sugar with honey. Honey is metabolized better in the body and has beneficial health properties and less calories than sugar. For many people it also has much better taste!
5.Forget processed fats and anything that contains butter such as cakes, pastries, biscuits, cookies, and croissants. If you need something sweet to eat, try a low-fat yogurt, with a spoonful of honey and a few nuts. Another solution for something sweet is dried fruit. E.g. two dried figs or two plums.
6.Consume without fear protein such as chicken, turkey, fish, tuna, Solomon cooked roast or boiled.
7.Exercise! If your job is to be seated in front of an office, you need to find time to walk for 1 hour either going to work on foot or a stroll to the shops. Climb the stairs and not the elevator. Make more love. Start your favourite hobby, play tennis, go swimming or dancing. Go out with friends and dance until the morning!
8.Always take with you at work a toast with black bread and turkey so as to eat it if you feel hungry before lunch and resist the temptation of biscuits or cheese pie offered by your colleagues.
9.Get rid of the stress. Stress can be very harmful to our health, and also according to recent surveys it can also make us fat; because in times we feel stress we consume more calories without understanding it.
10.Do not postpone your weight loss diet for Monday or tomorrow but start now. Even if you eat something forbidden at noon, you can avoid the extra calories by eating less at night.
The above article gave you free weight loss advice for healthy weight loss diet. Knowing how your body reacts to weight loss diets and the nutritional characteristics of the major foods can help you loose weight in a fast and healthy weight and also in a way that you will not gain the pounds you lost as soon as you end the diet.

Healthy Food Pyramid

2010-01-04T23:33:00.000-08:00

Eat a variety of foods from all levels of the food pyramid.
This means the daily consumption of milk, vegetables and fruits, from which we receive the required amounts of trace elements, minerals, vitamins and fiber, which is necessary for proper regulation of all metabolic functions of our organism. More specifically, milk should be included in our diet (2-3 portions) each day according to sex and age of the individual. Regarding fruits, this should be in 4-5 portions daily, while for an individual a vegetable salad to accompany the main meal of the day is enough. This is a very important weight loss advice because it is vital for our organism to receive all nutrients. Some weight loss diets suggest otherwise and this is simply not healthy and should be avoided.
Also it is recommended the daily consumption of certain foods from the group of «Cereals and bread», the number of which depends on our individual characteristics. Food items in this group are: bread, pasta, cereals, potatoes, legumes, etc. It is advisable not to eat meat more than three times a week, of which two will be covered by some kind of low fat meat low in cholesterol, such as chicken and turkey. This will help you to bring fish in the weekly diet more often, so as to support our organism every day with high biological value protein.
Fish that we should eat more often should be high in fat. Latest studies have shown that the fat in fish contains a high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3, consumption of which has been associated with reducing cholesterol levels in humans. Finally, as an additional source of fat we should use only olive oil, which forms the basis of the Mediterranean diet and has been associated with the prevention of many diseases such as coronary heart disease, cancer of the bowel etc. Of course the amount of oil we use should be controlled, especially during our weight loss efforts, since it is an extremely comprehensive source of energy.
Another advice that can really make a difference is to control or minimize during your weight loss efforts the consumption of sweets and alcoholic beverages, since they carry a lot of calories.
A very important weight loss advice is to take your meals regularly during the day, without any omission. There are no brochures or specific hours that you should be eating the meals. This is something you will have to adjust to your own personal habits and lifestyle. So your goal should be to provide your body regularly, every 3-4 hours, small meals in order to supply energy to cope with the most efficient way the continuing obligations.

Weight loss and Exercise

2010-01-04T23:21:00.000-08:00

The general idea behind weight loss and exercise is the following: the more calories I burn and the less I consume, the more weight I will loose. Indeed this is true, but if your goal is to burn the extra fat, then you should look at some other things as well. First of all, it is a fact that with exercise you can achieve weight loss, the size of which depends on the type of exercise, duration and your body weight. The calories burned can range from 200-400 calories per hour.
This rate does not necessarily mean that the body burns from the fat reserves in order to find the energy needed for the exercise. For example, an intense short duration exercise, such as when you run or ride a bicycle with quick speed for 15-20 minutes, can burn 200-300 calories, but it is calories that come from the combustion of carbohydrate reserves and not fat! Only a moderate intensity exercise for a long duration can «burn» more fat. And of course when this physical activity is at regular intervals (3 times a week is enough and the benefits are a lot). So walk fast or do jogging for a long time, dance!, Do a sport you like, follow aerobic fitness programs etc and «Burn» fat. If your goal is not only weight loss, learn that physical activity has many benefits for health in general because it helps to regulate blood pressure, control blood sugar and helps to raise the «good »HDL cholesterol.

Benefits of Walking for Weight Loss

2010-01-04T23:16:00.000-08:00

Exercise with walking is gentle but very effective, provided of course that you are walking vigorously and without any stop as long as you choose.
Benefits of walking
1. “Burn” calories, improves the rate of metabolism.
2. Helps strengthen the body, reduce local subcutaneous fat, helps to restore the loose body areas, as a result of the weight loss.
3. Helps to strengthen the bones (something especially important for women).
4. Reduces symptoms of varicose veins, helps the circulatory system.
5. Reduces blood pressure and pulse when you are relaxed
6. Help overcoming headaches.
7. Helps you be calmer with less stress, “intensity”, “nerves” that often cause greed, need for food.
After a good walk you would feel better, more relaxed, less stressed, and less “need” for food.
Walking can help weight loss
Walking can help you loose weight and not only that, it makes you feel less hungry and keeps the blood flow away from the digestive system. You can assume that you will burn up to 500 calories in an hour (depending on your step), which corresponds to a modest meal.
The main rules for enabling weight loss through walking are:
Start with small distances the first 5-6 days, walk a total of 15-20 minutes, but make a promise to your self to walk daily.
Gradually expand the distance, walking 10 more minutes every day, having the intension to walk for at least an hour.
Follow the same pattern with speed. The first day’s start with a slow but steady pace and as the days pass increases your pace.
Dressed comfortably, put soft shoes, with no or minimal heel.
Walking without tension, without tightening the body. Walk comfortably, not hunchbacked, do not pin your eyes on the ground. Walking vigorously, without stopping at every corner or shop you will meet. Do not hold anything in your hands.
When you first start walking you may feel stiff, sore. This is natural, because your muscles work. But if you have difficulties in breathing, or have tachycardia, moderate your step, or stop to rest, resume walking, but at a slower pace and less time.
You can walk anywhere, any time you want. Inside the streets filled with traffic, or somewhere quietly, with or without company. Choose what suits you more. Choose a destination every time you walk. Walk from home to a friend’s house, or to go to the market.
The best is to do your walking with no stops, so you will have better results. If this is very difficult for your, split it into two parts.
The ideal is to get to walk 5-6 kilometers in an hour.

Weight Loss advices

2010-01-04T23:02:00.000-08:00

When you follow a weight loss diet you should not eat only boiled-Grilled with Salad:
For many years there is the prevailing view that a weight loss diet equals baked or boiled dishes with no flavour and taste. Or even the combination of «roast with salad» at each meal. This has resulted in the person who wants to lose weight to lack not only valuable nutrients from the starch group, but also certain foods, which they are integrated in the diet immediately after they stop the weight loss diet, thereby regaining the lost weight! No food alone can constitute the sole means for a healthy eating. The nature is also the first to teach this rule, giving food characteristics such as odour, colour, taste and causing the people to choose from a wide variety of foods. Do not be afraid to combine protein with carbohydrate (starch), i.e. the meat with rice or potato or macaroni or mashed potatoes. On the contrary you should have this combination in every meal for 2 reasons: 1) the carbohydrate (starch) has protein-protective properties that help the digestion and absorption of food. 2) You cannot deny your self a tasty lemon potato for a whole life!
Should not eat oily fish when you are on diet:
All fish are beneficial. Both the small fish (e.g. smelt, anchovy, smelt a) consumed with the bone, providing valuable calcium, which helps to “build” strong bones and fat (e.g. herring, salmon, mackerel, sardines, sea bream) containing omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which act beneficial to the cardiovascular system. Some fish may have fat but it is not saturated fat, but polyunsaturated fat.
Beef has less fat than pork:
The difference between the fat in beef and pork is the fat in beef is contained in the muscle fibers, while in the pork is visible. So do not be afraid to eat a pork steak (of course without the visible fat) or a tenderloin steak.
Your weight may suddenly go up:
Sometimes you cannot loose weight although you make great weight loss efforts. Other times you may notice a sudden weight gain or you may feel very inflated although you may have not eaten too much the previous days. These examples are indicative of the situation known as fluid retention, where the body keeps more fluids than you need. The phenomenon of fluid retention is more often on women, which experienced it at least once a month. This is because fluid retention is a typical symptom of women periods. During the period (two to three days before) the because of fluctuations of body hormones the problem of retention is created. These variations and the particularly high levels of estrogen affect the balance of the body fluids leading to the kidneys to retain more sodium and then retain more water in order to restore balance. The best solution to reduce the phenomenon of retention is to drink more water. You need to drink at least one to two litres of water a day. In this way helps to balance fluids in your body and proper functioning of the kidneys primarily responsible for the elimination of excess water and sodium. In conclusion, do not be afraid when you see that you have suddenly gained weight!
Bananas are fattening:
Bananas are rich in vitamins A, B and C, and potassium, calcium, phosphate, carbohydrate, and natural sugar (assimilated), keeping the levels of blood sugar constant. The banana is considered the most important supplier of energy to the brain. In addition, helps to regulate blood pressure and water balance in the body. A medium banana (100 grams) has 98 calories and the difference with other fruits is that it contains more sugar and not fat. So do not be afraid to eat a banana, always in moderation.
Grapefruit helps break down fat:
Weight loss advice: The grapefruit is important because this fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C and carotene (Anticancer). It has been found to reduce cholesterol and helps to combat atherosclerosis. The term given to it by many, as fat burner is not valid because there is no scientific evidence that it contains enzymes that help burn fat.

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

2010-01-04T23:00:00.000-08:00

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2 . Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6 . Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells..
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain
The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3 . Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil.
As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if your body very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to ’schedule.’
The top five cancer-causing foods are:
1.. Hot Dogs

Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can’t live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.
2. Processed meats and Bacon

Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.
3. Doughnuts

Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries

Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries.
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies

All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

Weight Loss Plan

2010-01-04T22:55:00.001-08:00

The best weight loss plan is following a diet plan without costing your health, without feeling hungry and most importantly without getting the extra weight back once you stop the diet. The way to do this is to increase the pace of your metabolism. And the best way to succeed is to increase your physical activity with exercise, to get into the habit of daily physical exercise. This article is just about that. It outlines some weight loss tips with exercise that you can use to achieve your weight loss goals with the help of physical exercise.
Exercise raises the metabolic rate and as a result we burn more fat. The metabolism stays at higher levels even 6 hours after exercise, because the body works by improving the muscle tissue and cleaning the body from the products of combustion during exercise. This additional energy burns calories.
If you increase your physical activity by walking, running, exercising, doing a sport, and spend 400-600 more calories a day, you will lose additional 1-2 pounds or more in a month, all due to the exercise.
A vital tip for the success of the exercise program is to choose an activity you like, to believe in the value of exercise for weight loss, and make this a daily habit and your new way of life.
Weight loss Tip. You can exercise anywhere, anytime
Do not avoid movement. The more you move the more weight you will loose.
Use the stairs and not the elevator
When you go shopping or on any job, do not take your car.
Use the bus. This will make you walk to the bus stop, when you go and when you return.
A good idea is to walk one or two stops and then take the bus, and then get off one or two stops before your final destination
Weight loss Tip. Use more compound exercises
Choose compound exercises when exercising with weights, such as projections and squat with variations, pressure drills, exercises involving the entire body, dumbbells or pulleys to stimulate the heart and respiratory activity to burn more calories and release more hormones that help burn fat and enable better body development.
Use less isolated exercises and machines. Make your heart to pump and lungs to work during training with weights. If you breathe heavily and impulses of the heart are increased, then your body releases hormones that help weight loss and fat burn and also stimulate your metabolism.

For example, if your weight loss goal is to improve your physical exercise, then note the type of exercise you plan to do, how many times each week you can realistically exercise, and for how long you will exercise each time. Start with short term, easy and realistic goals,and work your way up to bigger and more difficult to achieve goals.

Weight loss tips #2: Keep an eye on the portion size
Keep an eye on the food portion size! Did you know that most of the times we eat almost everything that is on our plate, no matter what the size of the plate is? When eating at home, try eating in smaller plates; this will help you eat smaller food portions. When dinning out you need to be extra careful about the size of the food portions you eat. Studies have showed that food portions today are often big enough for two or more people to share.

Weight loss tips #3: Reward yourself when you succeed your weight loss goals
Make yourself a reward you cannot refuse. Before starting your efforts to meet your next weight loss goal, make yourself a promise like this, “If I reach my weight loss goals this (day, week, month), I will reward myself with a gift (but not a food reward.). Think of something you really need, such as a day off, a nice relaxing massage, a good movie, or even something towards a larger reward. Be creative, set up offers for yourself at frequent periods and make sure you reward yourself when you reach your weight loss goals.

Weight loss tips #4: Exercise regularly
How much is enough exercise? You need to exercise for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity per day. You need to do that for the most days of the week to help burn up the extra calories. But in order to achieve this you need to give yourself credit for the physical activities that you are already doing. Common physical activities such as climbing stairs, walking and gardening all account as physical activity. Just make sure you devote enough time in them.

Weight loss tips #5: Keep a weight loss journal
Keep a weight loss journal. Keep a journal of what you eat and how much exercise you are doing each day. Then, towards the end of each week, take not of your current weight in the same journal. You and your weight loss assistance (professional) can make use of this information to create an appropriate eating and physical exercise plan so as to find the best way to reach your weight loss goals.

Weight loss tips #6: I am hungry?
I am still hungry? You need to continuously ask your self this question and you should know that it may take longer to answer it than you think. It takes around 20 minutes or more for the message that we are not longer hungry to get from our brain to our stomach. So take a break before eating that next helping. Do you have troubles feeling full? Drink eight glasses or more of water or other non-caloric beverages on a daily basis. This will help you fill you up and keeps you refreshed. Also, another weight loss tip is to eat a lot of vegetables and fruits because they can help you feel fuller, especially when eaten raw.
