Have A Perfect Diet
In your exercise program you ignore the diet and getting it right
doesn’t mean eating the right foods but also having them at the right
time. Small adjustments to your eating habits can turn a failing
exercise regime into one that gets results. People who go to gyms
regularly know how important it is to eat a low-fat diet and plenty of
fruit and vegetables but many of them still don’t get enough protein and
eat many refined carbs (carbohydrates). This is what causes low
energy and high body fat and stops them getting the results they want.
So what should you eat to get a perfectly honed body?
EAT PLENTY OF PROTEIN
If you want to build muscle, which is the best way to lose fat, you need plenty of protein. Most women don’t want to bulk up because they don’t want to look like a body-builder. But if you replaced two to three kilos to fat with muscle you’ll look and feel a lot better although you won’t weigh less. Putting on muscle speeds up metabolism so you won’t have counting calories to worry about. Muscle takes up 20 percent of volume up fat does so you get the leaner look you want, too. Women shouldn’t worry about ending up looking like body-builders. It’s much harder for a woman to build up the sort of sharply defined muscles that men can because they don’t have the testosterone needed to do so.
Protein will help repair muscle damaged by a hard work out. If you don’t get enough, the body breaks down existing muscle to repair the damage. Unlike carbs protein is unlikely to be laid down as fat. Gram for gram carbs and proteins contain the same amount of calories but proteins use up more energy when they’re digested. Make sure you have a daily serving of low-fat protein such as eggs, poultry, lean red meat, fish or beans.
TIMING SHOULD BE PERFECT
There’s a magic moment about an hour after exercising when what you eat makes the biggest difference. Fruit, however fresh, or toast, however whole meal, won’t do the job. This is the time you need protein to repair muscles. But what’s magic here is that it is also the moment you need something sweet and sugary. You’ve just run down your glycogen energy store, so when you more glucose into the bloodstream, it’s carried off to fill your energy store instead of being gathered up by insulin and stored as fat. What’s more, the extra insulin rush also means that the protein you eat is used more efficiently. Immediately after exercising try take a sweet drink, followed by some fast-digesting carbs and protein. Maybe a fruit juice, then lean meat, beans or egg whites.
REGULAR MEALS
Not eating regularly is a trap, many people fall into. Irregular meals are more likely to lead to hunger pangs and energy dips, which will slow down the metabolism. Divide your eating program for six meals in little portions in a day. This will increase metabolism and keep blood sugar and energy levels constant. It also prevents muscle breakdown, which encourages fat to be used for energy. Avoid large meals late at night, metabolism drop as the day goes on and eating a large meal, particularly one based on carbs, will cause a sugar insulin that will store fat overnight. As blood sugar dips at night you may have a disturbed sleep and wake up feeling unbalance and hungry. Your last meal of the day should be based on protein and vegetables.
EAT CARBS WISELY
Refined carbs such as white bread pasta, white rice and sugar are convenient and easily digested but rapidly send blood-sugar level high. This means that you produce lets of insulin, which dutifully packs most of it away as fat. Consequently, your blood sugar level drops and you will quickly feel tired and hungry. Carbs is vital for energy-but chooses the complex ones such as whole cats. Whole wheat bread, pasta or cereals, vegetables, sweet potatoes and brown rice, they are digested slowly, so you’ll feel full for longer.
EAT THE PROPER FATS
While you should avoid hydrogenated fats and translate acid in processed food, don’t miss out on the essential fatty acids vital for every cell on your body. Too much saturated fat is inadvisable but too little omega-3 can make your heart, hormones and immune system work less efficiently. Make sure you get a daily dose of the good fats found in oily fish, nuts, seeds, olive oil or peanut butter. They also stabilize your blood sugar.

An Ideal Plan For Slimming
Resolving to do it yourself may give you a strong commitment, it builds self-confidence. It shows that you can do it. All it takes is sound planning, good sense and persistence. Here is how to look good this summer and turn a short-term prize into a lasting life-style:
Set realistic goals. Many people believe in fantasy weight they dream of paring off 20 pounds in a month, or slimming down to the weight of a fashion model. You can reasons ably and safely expect to lose an average of a pound a week.
Consider your family background too. If both parents were obese, chances are four out of five that you will be obese. Does that mean you can not lose weight? “No!” but it will be more difficult. Striving for a weight you can feel comfortable with, not the ideal found in weight charts.
Avoid promises like I’ll never eat cookies again, which set you up for failure and guilt when you give in. Concentrate on the positive ways you will change. “I liked the way I looked, of course,” but the biggest thing was the feeling of success.
Go for the long term
Yo-yo dieting, up and down and up again is not only discouraging, it is dangerous when you are reducing. You take off both fat and muscle. But when you regain weight, you regain mostly fat. Each time you lose and regain the percentage of body fat increases. People who repeatedly lose weight and then regain it may run a higher risk of heart disease than if they had never lost weight in the first place.
For simply and sensibly
Protuberant stomachs, fat thighs and rolls of fat around the waist are the result of eating too many calories. Each of the three food groups fat, carbohydrate and protein will turn into body fat eaten in excess, but fat is stored more readily. Only seven percent of each fat gram is used up by the body in placing fat into storage, whereas about 25 percent is necessary to convert and store protein and carbohydrate. And one gram of fat contains nine calories, just over twice the calories of a gram of protein or carbohydrate.
Staying below 30 percent of your calories from fat, combined with exercise, can gradually take off weight. To calculate your fat limit in grams, multiply the number of calories in your diet by .3 and divide by nine. For a woman on a weight reduction plan of 1200 calories a day, for example, this works out to 40 grams of fat per day.
Start by eliminating snack foods and fast foods cooked in fat. Eat fish or skinless chicken for most meals, avoiding too much red meat. Use skim or low fat instead of whole milk. Cut out rich desserts. Stoke up on noodles (without rich sauces). If you are not sure how much fat your foods contain, start reading labels. For unlabeled foods, buy a paperback nutrition guide or one of the new nutrition programs for your home computer. Count calories if you like; for every 3500 that you would ordinarily eat but don’t, you’ll lose about a pound.
One executive found an easy way to cut calories: he gave up wine. It was not the wine itself; it was the nuts, chips and dip that accompanied it, but when he gave up the wine, the snacks didn’t tempt him.
You need not surrender your favorite foods completely. But eat salads or fruit for lunch.
You don’t have to start running marathons.
Regular, routine exercise will do. A brisk walk will burn off about six calories a minute. If you walk for half an hour every day, at the end of a year you will have burned off calories equal to about 20 pounds of fat.
Walking trim off the pounds just as effectively as jogging, studies show that a person who walks, say, four miles a day will lose about the same amount of weight as one who runs four miles. The most important thing is to engage in the activity that suits you.
There’s a bonus to exercise that is afterburner effect following regular aerobic exercise, such as walking or running, the body’s resting metabolic rate remains elevated for 20 to 30 minutes, burning off more energy than usual. With strength-training exercises, the resting metabolic rate is gradually increased over time, because such exercise builds muscle and muscles are the energy-burning engine of the body. The more muscle you have, the more energy required to fuel it.
Use mental conditioning
Often we consume food almost unconsciously, mindlessly gobbling as we watch television or net. Start your weight-control effort by recording every bite you eat, including how the food was prepared, where you ate, with whom, and your mood at the time. The listing may open your eyes to trouble spots. You may discover that you head for the cookie jar when you’re depressed or that you consume bigger meals when your sister comes to visit.
Establish new patterns to overcome these habits. Eat at one place, the dinner table. Use small plates to make portions seem bigger. Chew slowly and deliberately, and put utensils down between bites. Keep tempting foods out of sight, or don’t buy them at all substitute a brisk walk for cocktail time.
Keep at it
Because you face the food dragon several times a day, you’ll be tempted to backslide. Prepare yourself for those moments. Detour around the bakery on your way home. Plan what you will eat or drink at the office party.
And if you do give in to the scoop of ice cream, all is not lost. Many think of a diet as all or nothing. If they eat one cookie, they say to themselves, I have ruined my diet. I might as well finish them. Instead, close the cookie jar and resume your diet the next day. A single setback doesn’t mean overall failure.
Remember, there will be another beach season next summer. Don’t let your body return to flab when the hottest weather. Establish a maintenance program and follow it through the year. That way, not only will you be slim this
Firm And Fit In 5 Week
In the past anyone who wanted to slim down in 5 weeks usually went on a crash diet, and the results seldom lasted long, but growing numbers of people are discovering a better way: combining balanced low-fat meals with aerobic activity and even strength training. It’s not easy, yet it can be done. So if you want to shape up fast, here is a plan for you.
1. Think fat loss
The primary goal of a 5 week shape-up is to lose body fat while maintaining muscle, or lean body mass. The problem is that calories are stored in fat, and during a diet the body protects itself by conserving calories and burning muscle instead. Lost muscle lowers metabolism (the rate at which the body burns calories), making it even more difficult to lose weight.
A pound of muscle burns 70 times as many calories as a pound of fat, so to achieve weight loss, it’s vital to retain and build muscle, increasing muscle mass by three pounds makes your body burn 150 to 300 more calories a day, regardless of your activity level.
The real key isn’t what you weigh but where the weight reduction
comes from. Pond for pound, muscle is one-seventh the dimension of fat.
When you exercise and put on a few pounds of muscle mass, your weight
may not change much, but your clothes will fit better, and they’ll be in
smaller sizes. So, during any 5 week shape-up, focus more on the tape
measurement than on the bathroom scale.2. Keep moving
When you exercise, make a balance between intensity and duration. For best results, exercise at the highest level of intensity you comfortably can one that allows you to sustain the activity for 30 minutes. You’re better off walking at a moderate pace for 10 minutes than trying to jog and ending up exhausted after ten.
To keep your metabolism higher all day, exercise in the morning. Bolster that with a 10 minute midday walk and perhaps a brief evening stroll or bike ride. Studies show that an exercise-induced metabolic boost can last 24 hours or longer. Here are some ideas that could help you get moving:
3. Five for five
Build aerobics into your 5 week routine, aiming for at least 5 half-hour sessions a week. If you currently get no regular exercise or are very overweight, the safest way is to walk. For the better conditioned, other aerobic activities include jogging, bicycling, swimming, rowing and tennis.
4. Talk Test
Push yourself safely, that is, not so hard you can not complete the session. Try the talk test; as long as you can carry on a conversation while exercising, you are not exceeding your capacity.
5. Up and down.
If you want a quick and better result in 5 weeks, walk up and down the hills. Go up the hill as fast as you can, then turn around and come back, resting on the way down, work up to doing this seven or eight times a session.
6. Add strength
Results from strength training can be fairly immediate, start doing five to ten different exercises, with or without weights, and at least eight repetitions of each. Work out twice a week, building to every other day. When you can do 12 repetitions, increase weights by two to three pounds and start again at eight repetitions.
7. Take a low-fat diet
Eat a good breakfast. By matching calorie consumption with your most active hours, you will burn calories more efficiently. Fuel up early in the day with a low-fat meal (cereal with skin milk and fruit).
8. Avoid late-night eating
Metabolic needs are lowest at night, so calories consumed then tend to be stored as fat.
9. A little fat
Don’t cut out fats completely. Even this dietary villain has a virtue it gives the body satiety. A little bit of peanut butter or cream cheese on that bagel, will curb appetite rather than enhance it. Keep fat intake up to 25 percent.
10. Rethink your attitude
A five week trim-down demands a totally new way of looking at the challenges that confront you.
11. Other ways to rethink
Dear diary. Most of us underestimate the calories we consume. A food diary helps keep track. Others use a diary as a tool to control the day’s menu. By deciding what to eat when, a dieter can avoid the rushed decisions that lead to overeating.
12. Inch by inch
Respect the power of small changes. If you bypass a doughnut every day and have half a bagel instead, that will equal a pound lost in a month.
Unlike a crash diet, this 5 week regimen will get you well on your way to keeping trim. Stick with it, and you will be firmer and fitter for months and even years to come.
Arteries Can Be Protected From Vitamins Ja
The case for antioxidants is still theoretical and largely
circumstantial, but the scientific and medical communities are staking
high hopes on it. Just last month, more than 40 of the world’s top heart
experts lobbied to support future laboratory research and clinical
trials to further explore the effects of the antioxidants on arteries.
If clinical trials- some in process now, others just beginning- verifying what’s been found under the microscope the number of deaths from heart disease in the world will probably drop. But we can’t exclude the treatment of established risk factors, like high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, high cholesterol and diabetes.
Most of the people who have heart attacks don’t have outrageously inflated cholesterol levels. In fact, some of them are below the 200 range. And there are people who do have high cholesterol counts who have no sign of heart disease, so researchers suspect that there is more to heart disease than cholesterol alone.
Scientific evidence has long hinted that this “something more” may be involve vitamin antioxidants. Heart attack victims have consistently low levels of vitamin C in their blood, as do smokers, who are at higher risk for atherosclerosis.
o Free radicals
Scientists set out to discover the possible connection between antioxidants, cholesterol and heart disease. Their top priority was to figure out how cholesterol, specifically LDL cholesterol, gets into the walls of arteries. This stuff, the fatty streaks that eventually become the advanced lesions that bypass surgery must remove, is the first sign of what could be a heart attack-to-come.
Free radicals are naturally occurring, highly unstable oxygen molecules that have been accused of contributing to everything from cancer to cataracts. Their mean trick is to damage, or oxide, body tissues and blood fats. The free radicals effect on LDL is similar to hat happens to a steak when it sits out on the kitchen counter too long- it goes bad. That, researchers speculate, sets off the deadly process. The white blood cells- immune cells out to consume their enemies- gorge themselves on the bad-stuff-gone-bad, thinking they are protecting the body, when they may actually be harming it. LDL bloated white blood cells in the artery wall soon become a bulge that threatens to completely block the artery.
Enter vitamins in your body
If the creation of free radicals, as scientists believe, is a naturally occurring, constant process, does that mean we are doomed to a life of congested arteries and crippling angina?
Enter the antioxidants-vitamins and enzymes in our bodies that fight oxidant caused by free radicals. Scientists believe that antioxidants may be able to stop free radicals from making LDL “go bad”.
If clinical trials- some in process now, others just beginning- verifying what’s been found under the microscope the number of deaths from heart disease in the world will probably drop. But we can’t exclude the treatment of established risk factors, like high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, high cholesterol and diabetes.

And there are people who do have high cholesterol counts who have no sign of heart disease, so researchers suspect that there is more to heart disease than cholesterol alone.
Scientific evidence has long hinted that this “something more” may be involve vitamin antioxidants. Heart attack victims have consistently low levels of vitamin C in their blood, as do smokers, who are at higher risk for atherosclerosis.
o Free radicals
Scientists set out to discover the possible connection between antioxidants, cholesterol and heart disease. Their top priority was to figure out how cholesterol, specifically LDL cholesterol, gets into the walls of arteries. This stuff, the fatty streaks that eventually become the advanced lesions that bypass surgery must remove, is the first sign of what could be a heart attack-to-come.
Free radicals are naturally occurring, highly unstable oxygen molecules that have been accused of contributing to everything from cancer to cataracts. Their mean trick is to damage, or oxide, body tissues and blood fats. The free radicals effect on LDL is similar to hat happens to a steak when it sits out on the kitchen counter too long- it goes bad. That, researchers speculate, sets off the deadly process. The white blood cells- immune cells out to consume their enemies- gorge themselves on the bad-stuff-gone-bad, thinking they are protecting the body, when they may actually be harming it. LDL bloated white blood cells in the artery wall soon become a bulge that threatens to completely block the artery.
Enter vitamins in your body
If the creation of free radicals, as scientists believe, is a naturally occurring, constant process, does that mean we are doomed to a life of congested arteries and crippling angina?
Enter the antioxidants-vitamins and enzymes in our bodies that fight oxidant caused by free radicals. Scientists believe that antioxidants may be able to stop free radicals from making LDL “go bad”.
What To Eat In Diabetes
Diabetes is now the fifth leading death-causing disease in world and it continues to be on the increase. It is a metabolic disorder of the carbohydrate, protein and fat in the body. This could be due to any one of the following:
1. The lack of insufficiency of a hormone known as insulin.
2. The cells of the body resisting the action of insulin.
3. The inability of the cells to sufficiently take in sugar from the bloodstream for use as energy.
The outcome is a high level of sugar circulating in the blood which upsets the sugar balance in the body. If this circulating high blood sugar is allowed to continue for a prolonged period, it will affect the other body systems leading to: Blindness, heart problems, kidney damage, high blood pressure, poor wound healing leading to infection, disorder of the nerves.
* Diabetes type 1 accounts for only 5 to 10% of the diabetics in the world. It occurs mainly in children and young adults and is characterized by a total disability of the pancreas to secrete insulin. Thus, the patient has to be insulin dependent. Diabetes Type 2 accounts for 90% of diabetics. It is adult onset diabetes contributed by one or a combination of any of the following: overweight, inherent diabetes in the family, lack of exercise. It occurs mainly in the age group of 40 to 60
* Diet is the cornerstone treatment in managing diabetes. The other supporting role is exercise. However, when the diabetic is unable to control his blood sugar with both diet and exercise, then the physician may recommend oral medication and in some cases, insulin.
* A well-balanced diet high in fiber and complex carbohydrates, but low in fat, is recommended for diabetics. A high fiber intake of 25 gm per 1,000 calories is encouraged.
* Simple carbohydrates must be restricted in a diabetic diet. Examples of foods containing simple carbohydrates are sugar, honey, syrups, molasses, condensed milk, sweetened drinks and canned fruits, sweet biscuits, cookies, cakes, jam and, rock melon sugar, and brown sugar.
Examples of foods containing refined complex carbohydrates are white rice, white flour, plain flour, plain biscuits, noodles and crackers, sweet potato & cornflakes.
* Carbohydrates of high fiber nature are high in fiber. The fiber in the diet slows down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. It is recommended that the major portion of carbohydrates that diabetics eat be in this category in order to achieve better control of glucose level in the blood.
Examples of foods containing high fiber complex carbohydrates are unpolished rice, whole meal bread, whole wheat pasta/noodles, whole meal crackers, legumes that is Green peas, green beans, soybeans, chick peas, rolled oats, potato (with skin)
The amount of protein taken easily exceeds our requirements; therefore insufficient protein intake is seldom a concern. However, vegetarian diabetics need to make a concerted effort to take in enough protein.
* Since diabetics are at risk of developing high blood lipids, predisposing them to heart problems, keeping to a minimum fat intake is encouraged.

Satisfy Your Appetite Without Depriving Yourself
If you consume low energy density meals, lots of substance but few
kilojoules, you will readily satisfy your appetite, without gaining
weight.
So what are these high volumes, low-kilojoules, appetite bustling foods? Here are seven of the best:
Take Soup:
Soup creates satiety in just about every way a food can. Your eyes see a big portion. The steamy aroma generates a lot of sensory stimulation. The large volume of liquid fills your stomach. Plus an ingredient rich soup takes time to digest, keeping you full.
Light versions of soups like minestrone potato leek, corn chowder, mushroom barley, and gazpacho; any of them make an appetite taming first course or snack. Just re loaded with fat and kilojoules.
Get The Fiber:
There is a terrible fiber source. Not only do bran flakes give you a lot to eat for very few kilojoules, a nutritionist says that like all high fiber foods, they also take the edge off your appetite.
All easy way to get your fiber is to eat a good breakfast. One study shows that people who eat a high fiber breakfast take in about 420 fewer kilojoules for breakfast and lunch combined. She naturally mixes bran flakes into a high- fiber cold cereal of oatmeal.
Sweet And Juicy Berries:
Appealingly sweet and juicy, berries and other fruit may be the smartest snack of all. Along with high water resources, berries have lots of fiber, so they are filling with few kilojoules.
Picture these snacks, each about 420 kilojoules, 18 fat-free pretzels, and 680 millimeters of fresh strawberries. That is not enough jelly-beans or pretzels to put a dent in your appetite. But the berries or almost any fruit will just that.
The Fiery Chemical In Red Pepper:
While some nutritionists are keen on high-volume, high-fiber foods, researchers are hot on capsaicin, the fiery chemical in red pepper. In a series of experiments, the spicy stuff either to break-fast or to pre-load appetizers at lunch, and then measured how much people ate afterwards.
Pepper may act as a non-pharmacological stimulant, boosting the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. When that happens you feel less hungry, though no one is sure why. As a bonus, he found that the hot stuff in the red pepper slightly upped the kilojoules burned. How to put this to work? Serve omelets with hot sauce, or top baked potatoes with fresh salsa.
Low Fat:
Many people tend to keep eating until they have had something sweet. That doesn’t have to be bad.
Frozen desserts are one of the best ways to satisfy a sweet tooth without piling on kilojoules. A half cup of chocolate of frozen yogurt adds a mere 480 kilojoules to your dinner.
Of course, you can take another tack. Have a satisfying amount of low-energy-density food at your meal, and then for desserts eat one piece of the most delicious chocolate you can find!

Lose Weight And Enjoy The Surprise Benefits
Men appear to think less about the costs of excess weight than women
do. Men often seem blind to the possibility that a paunch is causing
them to look unattractive to their mates, holding them back in their
time. Obese men, for example, are more likely than normal weight men to
have high cholesterol levels and heart disease.
Unfortunately, too many men are careless about eating. As adolescents, they were more concerned with gaining weight than losing it, since they associated size with power. Women on the other hand, have been taught since childhood to be aware of what and how much they eat.
The differences are not only in attitude, but to eating patterns as well.
No wonder men begin to have weight problems when their metabolism slows down and years of self indulgent eating and drinking begin to catch up with them. Their broad shoulders start dropping towards their waist.
One of the few people who can really get through to a man about his weight is the women in his life. A doctor’s warning may help, but by then the damage is usually done.
Yet, a woman who tries to interest her man in his own health may use the wrong approach. She will confront him with anger and hostility. What will be his response? He will chalk up her concern to histrionics and ignore her. Those men generally respond well to women who are nonjudgmental and direct in communicating their knowledge about nutrition. Remember though, that most men do better with a diet that doesn’t seem like a diet because they are just not always adaptable to new foods. Men are used to eating big meals at regular times, and to replace those with low fat yogurt or vegetables will usually result in their going back to old habits in short order.
Here are some practical steps he can take, with your help:
♥ Fat-proof your house, removing sausages, lunch means, butter, whole milk and all the other more-than-30-% fat foods from the refrigerator. Replace them with healthier non-or low-fat substitutes.
♥ Control the sugar entering your kitchen. Keep abreast of new sugar substitutes. Toss out all sugary treats and replace them with fresh fruit, popcorn, crackers and raw vegetable sticks.
A quick tally of on your husband’s list should be enough to persuade him to change his eating habits. But the payoff is that it is not really much of change: all he has to do is switch from a fast food diet lean meat with vegetables and rice, avoiding oil-based sauce such as mayonnaise and salad dressings. Portions being the same, the latter lunch have about half the fat.
In planning meals at home, try to strike a balance among carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Fat should remain below 30% of the calories for each meal. Eat skinless chicken, fresh vegetables, lots of complex carbohydrates.
By helping your husband get into better shape, you will find you have created a pathway to health, togetherness and a renewal of friendship and romance. Why not start today?

Inspiration From Physicians Who Prescribe Walking
Ø The family doctor:
Walks take him around the neighborhood, a nearby lake or in the local mall. His favorite times are before lunch or dinner. But sometimes he walks before bedtime. He says:
It is just not always true that exercising before going to bed disturbs your sleep pattern some people can and some can not. I once had a hypertensive patient whose only free time was in the late evening. Because he was advised not to walk then, he had to take medication instead. Within four months of seeing me, he was off medication. Why? I recommended that he start walking again.
Block began walking to ease moderate back pain and to keep his weight in check. He loves getting a good night’s sleep. He says:
I not only sleep every well after I have walked, but I am also able to fall asleep faster. As result, I feel more energetic the next day.
Block tells almost all patients to walk. He is seen many improvements take place in people’s lives with moderate exercise. Like an emphysema patient who can now walk to stores and the library, who formerly had to be carried in a car.
Sometimes Block walks with patients around the lake, and in winter they head for the mall or to a local spa to use a treadmill.
Ø Dietitian:
Nadine Braun stein is a registered dietitian in Boston walks with clients about three times a week. In addition, she tries to walk when she does errands or anytime it is convenient. “I try to make it part of my normal routine, I walk to my aerobics classes. Rather than chat on the phone with friends, with prefer to meet and go for a walk together.
Braun stein never considered her an athlete. “In high school I was always the last person chosen for a team. I had a weight problem back then, but not anymore. Walking is the perfect exercise for me.
Ø Specialist:
Robert Lang, M.D., is the medical director of the Osteoporosis Diagnostic Centers in New Haven Connecticut. He walks three to five miles a day. On weekends he walks in the morning: during the week, after dinner. He says “I overweight and under exercised. My potential back surgery really kept me motivated to say with walking. Today I am trim, and all the other problems are a thing of the past. I eat mostly grains and vegetables, and I plan to walk as often as I can.”
Dr. Lang recommends that his patients walk for 20 minutes five or six days a week, as their condition permits. “The ones who have already had lots of problem are more compliant. They know what they are avoiding by exercising. It is so simple. No health clubs, no equipment. Some stretching and off you go.”
Ø A new perspective on walking:
All these practitioners would probably agree that people need to look at exercise in a different light. As they age they may begin to look at exercise as some type of physical therapy that they can apply if they have the time or the motivation. But is it reasonable to expect that your body can stay healthy without exercise, without something like a daily walk? A lot of research seems to indicate that the answer is no.

Walking Makes A Body Great
What is the main single flaw that makes your body less than idea? Most of us would answer “body fat.”
And as research has shown, regular exercise can reduce body fat. You can’t target a specific area of your body to spot reduce. But as you continue to exercise, the firming and toning of underlying muscle makes those specific areas look better proportionate.
And it turns out research shows that walkers are a step ahead of many other exercisers in the fat blasting department. A recent study at the exercise physiology labs found that treadmill walking burn more body fat than rowing or stationary cycling.
So walking is a great for fighter, if you stick with it. Studies show that the rate of fat burning increases for all types of exercise, after the first 20 minutes. That means that for fat loss, a one-hour walk is better than three 20 minutes walk. The average walker burns about 200 calories on a brisk 20 minute walk, and 50 % of these calories come from fat. Beyond those first 20 minutes, the percentage of fat calories burned escalates to 70.
Once you have four or five 45 minutes to hour-long walks worked into your weekly schedule, how else can you use walking to improve your look?
Walking
Maintaining good posture can make a big difference in how you use muscles. As your shoulder and spine straighten, your tummy flattens and your bottom sides under your torso. You also allow your body to work with gravity, not against it, so you don’t tire as easily and you are less susceptible to upper or lower-back strain or neck pain. When you walk tall, you are straighten the muscles in your abdomen, back and buttocks, too, which will enhance toned-up look.
While you are walking, place your thumb on the bottom of your breastbone and your little finger on your navel. Now lean slightly forward to bring your breastbone and navel one-quarter to one-half closer, keeping your head erect and spine straight.
The slight repositioning of your breastbone changes your body’s center of gravity, aligning your upper body squarely over your pelvis and tilting your body slightly forward, so you don’t ask your lower back too much.
Muscles
Health walking has several advantages over regular walking when it comes to tightening your tummy buttocks or upper arms, when you strengthen your legs as you plant your heel, you use more muscles than when you run.
This takes the same effect but you get usage of additional muscles. The result is more toning of the affected muscles.
To shape your calf muscles, we suggests learning to push off with the balls of your feet, because you end up working your calf muscles that way.
And if you pump your arms like a sprinter, bending your arms at the elbow and swinging them forward aggressively you can tone your upper arms and back muscles.

Top Nutritional Scientists Are Changing The Way They Eat
Researchers Sheldon Reiser said: What I have learned from my research
primarily is that genetics most control of how food component produces a
metabolic effect in our bodies. I would say that environmental factors,
such as diet, contribute only 25 to 30% to your ultimate disease
susceptibility. But feel that anything I can do to prevent disease,
including making changes in this 25 to 30% is to my benefit.
If you cholesterol levels are high, you have to look at the saturated fat and cholesterol in your diet.
From my metabolic profile, I can see that I would be more sensitive to the effect of saturated fat and cholesterol than sugar. So I am very careful about my fat intake. The main source of protein in my diet is usually poultry or fish. I also rely on low-fat cottage cheese and polyunsaturated cooking oils.
I am very aware of the fact that cruciferous vegetable are good for you. Of all of the anticancer foods, they seem to be the ones that are thought of most highly as possible preventives of bowel cancer.
Researcher Rivta Butrum said: We promote lowering fat intake and increasing fiber intake to help prevent cancer. And I practice what I preach. But reducing the risk of cancer is not the only reason I’ve changed my diet. A low-fat diet lowers the risk of heart disease as well. And there’s heart disease in my family. So I am hoping that my diet will be protective overall.
I follow our own guidelines to reduce the fat in my diet: using low-fat milk products, buying leaner cuts of meat and trimming the fat, using cooking methods that do not add fat, such as broiling, stewing and baking, and using less oil-I use only the salad dressing I used to.
Expert F. Holick said: There are several principles that I use to structure my own diet and that of my family from all the scientific literature I have read, it seems that for certain individuals there is a clear association between salt intake and hypertension. So we have a no-added-salt diet. We do not exclude foods that contain salt, but we do not add salt to our food.
I think the data on fish oil look encouraging. It appears to me that a high-fish diet may be one of the reasons that Eskimos have a low incidence of cardiovascular diseases. The research has not affected my diet, however. I already follow a low-fat diet, and I know that my cholesterol level is not high, so I do not think I need to eat any more fish.
Expert George A. Bray said: The only thing I really make an effort to do through diet is keep my weight stable, because the evidence suggests that being overweight is hazardous to your health. Obesity has been linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes and gallbladder disease.
So I weigh myself regularly. If I find I have gained a couple of pounds, I eat less but remain active. My action relates to the entire stream of research that suggests that you get fat largely by taking in more energy than you expend.

Tips For Equelling Life's Terrors
Most of us who have stepped to a podium know the awful symptoms of
a choke-in progress: cottony mouth, grinding stomach, tightness in the
chest. And the situation doesn’t have to be public, either. It can
happen when we ask for a raise or call someone for a first date.
Each time you are faced with an important task or decision, and during the process you let overwhelm you in a physical sense, that is choking, as embarrassment looms, a warning signal exits the brain with sirens flashing, heading for the adrenal glands. When it turns the adrenal spigot, the surge that follows mobilizes the system.
Heart rate increases rapidly. Saliva production falls. Blood vessels constrict and reduce the flow of blood to the stomach. Meanwhile, breathing can become more rapid and shallow.
For some, like star athletes it is an occupational hazard. What amazes is that an awful lot of very successful people have the same fears and anxieties as everyone else. The difference is, they of worked out their own way of getting past them. Here is what other in the public eye suggests quelling the terrors of performance.
If you try using a psychological trick to convince yourself that you are confident, at some level you’ll know it is just a trick. But the confidence that comes from preparation is the real thing.
☼ Take a deep sleep:
Believe that getting your body ready is always as important as anything else. If you feel good you perform better.
☼ Don’t miss your diet:
A performing artist remembers doing two shows in one light in a New York club. Before the late show she developed a queasy stomach. She managed to finish the performance, and then realized she had forgotten to eat during the day as a result her get low blood sugar. There are physical explanations for a lot of psychological problems.
☼Don’t do anything continuously:
In a line of work, you would overwhelm yourself if looked at each day as two-hour program. Instead, try to view it as four half-hour program, each with an opening, middle and a close. If you go into it like that, you don’t overwhelm your self.
☼ Deep breath helps:
A singer uses to get physically sick before every performance. The singer says that one of the most important things to remember is that the only difference between fear and anticipation is breathing. When she goes onstage, she imagines herself breathing all the way down into her feet. It helps take the pressure off.
☼ Do something… anything :
If you find yourself going flat or tentative, determined thoughts can make all the difference. Force yourself to come alive by being assertive. Go out and channel energy. Make a positive fight to meet the challenges before you

Oh Gentelman! Watch Out Your Thyroid
After diabetes, thyroid disease
is the most common glandular disorder. At least ten million people are
being treated for thyroid conditions-usually an under active or over
active gland.
Because some early symptoms are easily ignored or mistaken for signs of anxiety disorders or aging, millions of cases of thyroid disease remain undiagnosed. Some patients go from doctor to doctor for years complaining of irritability, heart palpitation, difficulty concentrating, even memory problems, before they finally get help.
The thyroid is a small, butterfly shaped gland located at the base of the neck over the trachea, or wind pipe. Its job is to extract iodine from blood to produce two hormones that regulate the energy use of virtually every cell and organ in the body. When your thyroid becomes under active or over active, here is what to watch for-and do.
Radiation therapy to the head or neck, pituitary tumors or certain drugs, such as lithium for psychiatric ailments and the heart drug can also lead to hypothyroidism.
Whatever the cause, an under active thyroid leaves the body running in slow motion. Changes may include fatigue, feeling cold, diminished concentration and memory, and weight again.
Depression also results from hypothyroidism. Up to 20 % of all chronic-depression cases may be associated with low production of thyroid hormones.
There is no way to cure an under active thyroid, but treatment can be as simple as a pill-a-day lifetime hormone replacement. Determining the right medication and dose, though, may require experimenting. Too much thyroid hormone increases risk of bone loss, osteoporosis and cardiac arrhythmia: too little can lead to mild high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels.
Sometimes treatment for an under active thyroid may even create the symptoms of hyperthyroidism-and vice versa. A woman was told she had Hashimoto’s disease, and a synthetic thyroid hormone was prescribed.
Even a small medication mistake may have consequences, especially if you become hypothyroid at 25 or 30 and are not checked at least yearly to make sure the dose is right. The main cause of an overactive gland is another autoimmune disorder.
Symptoms are the flip side of hypothyroidism: rapid heartbeat, nervousness and irritability, feeling hot, muscle weakness, softening of the nails, hair loss, more frequent bowel movements, weight loss despite eating as usual, and for women, shorter menstrual periods with lighter flow.
Treating an overactive thyroid can also be tricky. There are three alternatives: radioactive to disable gland, drugs to turn off excess hormone production, or surgery to remove the thyroid, followed by hormone replacement. Most doctors recommend radioactive iodine. For about 90 % of patients, this treatment also involves the use of thyroid hormones to bring levels back to normal.
Surgery is usually reserved for hyperthyroid patients who have a large, disfiguring goiter that is not likely to shrink with other treatment, and in some cases, for women with the condition who are either pregnant or who plan to become pregnant. Although the operation is generally safe, there is a small risk of injury to the parathyroid glan

This Is A Seven Point Plan For You Darling!
Researchers believe it is the fat that accumulates inside the
abdominal cavity not the smaller layer of fat just before the skin that
is to blame. How it takes the risk of these diseases, through, is not
understood.
Why some people are more prone to develop potbellies is also a bit of a mystery. The tendency is more common in men. Women who have the problem are often said to have an apple shape versus a pear shape.
The good news is that removing your spare tire will probably deflate the risk to your health and give you a slimmer profile to boot!
Here is our seven-point potbelly burning plan:
♠ 1-Go easy on sauce:
If you are aiming to reduce a potbelly, first you have got to stop adding to it. And if you like to imbibe, cutting your alcohol intake may be a key.
There really is such a thing as a beer belly, it seems. Those who qualified more than two drinks a day had the largest waist to-hip ratio, which is how doctors quantify potbellies. The drinkers had roughly twice as many large ratios among them as did the nondrinkers.
♠ 2-Start huffing:
Lack of exercise was associated with inflating a spare tire in men. And getting your mountain moving may help it disappear, other research shows. In a study an endurance exercise-training program for six months, they lost far their abdomen.
And though these men walked, jogged and biked for 45 to 60 minutes, five days a week, strenuous exercise may not be necessary to bring about this result. It is possible that mild aerobic exercise over a long period will produce the same results or do even more.
♠ 3-Stop throwing fat at the problem:
You have probably heard it before: The fat you eat is the fat you wear. And if you are someone who is prone to wearing it on your abdomen, reducing your fat intake is likely is to be a good belly-busting strategy.
The fat cell on the abdomen are larger and less numerous than the ones on the buttocks and thighs. When you lose weight; you don’t lose fat cells, they just shrink. And the one that have the most potential for size reduction are the lager ones on the abdomen.
To get rid of fat, you have got to stop the flow. Go on a low fat diet, and when you do consume fat, don’t consume simple sugars with it. Then you would not be replenishing abdominal fat, and you are going to point the arrow the other way and begin to draw it out. And that is when exercise is going to be extremely helpful.
♠ 4-Lose it once:
Researchers are not sure why weight cycling puts more fat on the abdomen. One leading theory is that this kind of yo-yo dieting increases fat consumption. In one study, for example, lab animals that were made to lost weight and then allowed to regain selected a higher fat diet than animals that had never lost weight.
Stick with a sensible diet that relies on fruit, vegetables and other low fat fare, and emphasize slow, gradual weigh loss

Sir! Come To The Side Of Pharmacy
The whole earth medicine chest, nature, traditionally, has yielded
some of the most potent weapons against disease. Form the bark of a Peruvian tree quinine has been produced, the first known treatment and cure for malaria. From the purple foxglove came digitalis, a drug the makes a weak heart
heartier. And from willow bark we produced the early form of aspirin.
All of these were folk remedies before modern science discovered them.
One-quarter of today’s drugs are derived from natural sources, and about 10 percent actually have their roots in folk healing. In fact, natural substances continue to be fertile ground for serious pharmaceutical research, and many may become the wonder drugs of tomorrow. Here is a selection of the latest crop of promising nature cures.
Unprocessed honey may heal wounds when more conventional dressings and antibiotic treatments fail. Honey was effective in all but one case Topical application kept sterile wounds sterile until they healed, while infected became sterile within a week. Honey can be used to remove dead tissue from persistent wound, helping some patients avoid skin graft or amputation.
Honey is slightly acidic and absorbs water, which may account for its ability to reduce swelling in wounds, the researcher says, it also contains an antibacterial agent called inhibine.
۞ Mutant Fungi
Two newly developed strains of fungus yield large amounts of toxins called trichothecenes, potential cancer fighters. By themselves, trichothecenes kill normal and cancerous cells. But when combined with monoclonal antibodies, proteins custom designed to zero in on cancerous cells, they may become potent anticancer drugs. Cancer researchers may wish to select one kind of trichothecene that works best for a particular type of cancer.
۞ Chokes malaria
A centuries old Chinese treatment for malaria has inspired international research on the healing properties of a weed, Artemisia annua. Laboratory and animal studies show that arteether, a drug derived from the weed, is effective against the malaria parasite. The active ingredient is a molecule, called qinghaosu. Scientists are now attempting to produce a derivative of qinghaosu that will be more potent and easier for the body to assimilate.
۞ Cactus stems diabetes
Mexican herbologists have long advised clients with diabetes to eat the stems of the nopal cactus. Recently, Mexican researchers found that 12 f 16 subjects who are broiled nopal cactus stems had a significant drop in their blood sugar levels with in hour. Glucose continued to decline for the next two hours. By comparison, diabetics eating broiled squash did not benefit. The researchers think something in the cactus may improve the cells’ ability to use glucose, and that it may be useful in managing diabetes.
۞ Ginkgo breakthrough fans
Asians have relied on extract of the fan-shaped ginkgo leaf since 3,000 B C to heal a wide variety of ills. Now the active ingredient, ginkgolide B, has been synthesized in the lab for the first time. As a result, stepped-up research in this country and in Europe could lead to new treatment for asthma, toxic shock, circulatory and kidney disorders. Ginkgo extracts even offer promise as a safer alternative to the drugs used by organ-transplant recipients.
