Avoid eggs / high cholesterol at Breakfast

>> Sunday, May 23, 2010

gh-cholesterol foods present high numbers. Managing your cholesterol is an essential way of controlling your diet, and health. The American Heart Association recommends a maximum daily intake of 300 mg of cholesterol daily. If your doctor has said you have high-cholesterol already, you need to stay below 200 mg. One particuarily high cholesterol food is eggs. Having an egg for breakfast already gives you up to 212 mg of cholesterol. So, as an alternative, try whole-grain cereal with fruit or some yogurt.

You might want to have 1 or two eggs sunny side up for Lunch, or at dinner as egg salad. That will give you protein.

That is your daily tip for healthy living. Remember, your "diet day" is today!

>> Wednesday, May 19, 2010

Too little sleep can mess up your weight-loss efforts, but if you sleep 10 hours a night or more, you might face some of the hormonal risks the same as those who sleep too little.  A recent Canadain study found that people who sleep fwere than seven hours or more than nine hours weigh an average of four more puonds than those who sleep a solid 8 hours a night.

Researchers believe that sleeping too much, or too little interferes with your ability to control your appetite, becuaese it increase your hunger hormone ghrelin whilc decreasing your hormone leptin.

Get your rest! Sleep at least 8 hours, but no more than that. Happy dieting! That is your nutrition news for health foods & healthy living for today. "Diet day" is today!

Cheeseburgers aren't heaven

Like many Americans and Canadians, you might at times have lunch at fast-food restaurants. Before you eat that double cheeseburger, consider this: A McDonald’s Big Mac has 85 mg of cholesterol and a Wendy's Classic Double, with all the toppings, has a whopping 175 mg of cholesterol. That can only impede a healthy diet and proper diet nutrition. So hold the fries and the shake, or order a plain burger instead instead. Better yet, order a veggie burger. That will help you manage your cholesterol intake, weight loss, and cuts the fat. That is your nutrition news for health foods & healthy living for today. "Diet day" is today!

Fitness Food: Protein after a work out helps lose weight

>> Friday, April 23, 2010

The right food for a workout starts with protein and fat. Protein should be part of your major meals because it will help slow absorption of carbohydrates. Chicken, Fish, eggs,  meat, and beans are excellent sources of protein, and about 3 ounces per meal is enough, the protein burned after a work out will help you lose weight.

Fat. You need some fat in your diet, too.  Low-fat dairy products, like 1 percent milk, and lean cuts of meat will give you the fat your body needs to recouperate after a workout, and provides stable dietary nutrition elements essential to building a proper diet. even though it's fat! it's the good fat we're talking about.

Tips to Lose Weight This Spring

>> Saturday, March 27, 2010

Over the holidays such as March Break and Easter, many people load up on carbohydrates.  Resulting in everyone being a little bit fatter.
And many of you probably did the same. So the press is on to work out and lose weight. It’s only a few months until spring and all that it entails (namely: bathing suits).

So here are a few tips to lose weight in the new year:
Set a fun fitness goal.
If you set a fun goal, you're more likely to want to get into shape.  Practicing to run a marathon in the spring, since it is on the way, it would provide you with something fun to do that will help in loosing weight, getting into shape, rather than an big weight-loss goal. And it’s more fun to get out and do something you want to do, than it is to sit in a gym counting reps over and over.
Revamp your eating habits
Throw out any leftovers from the holidays, Easter, or March Break. Loosing weight starts not only with exercise, but maintaining a healhty diet. Quit eating a 12-ounce steak with big scoops of mashed potatoes for dinner.  Eat whole-grain breads, whole-grain pastas and fiber-packed cereals. Stop eating processed foods. Eat smaller meals (a few hundred calories) every few hours, rather than enormous meals three times per day and a bunch of junky snacks in between. You can track your calories easily by counting the calories on most health foods.

Do cardiovascular exercise.
A rough estimate of your maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. A more accurate maximum heart rate can be determined by a doctor with a stress test (which is recommended). So do a challenging activity (running, hiking, climbing, swimming, fast walks, etc) for a sustained time (20 to 45 minutes at least every other day) that raises your heart rate to 80% or so of its maximum. After doing cardio for 2 months, you will start to notice how much better you look.
Find activity partners.
Get your friends or siblings to work out along with you. It can be easier to stay focused if you’re active with people of a similar skill level. If you brisk-walk 4 miles, find a running partner who can walk 4 miles fast. Or: Find an instructor you like to teach you a sport that you enjoy, or have always wanted to try. 

The key in looking and feeling better, and maintaining healthy living and weight loss, is through exercise, healthy diet nutrition and being conscious of all these things. Good luck!

Curbing Carbs & Eating The Right Carbs

A lot of people load up on carbohydrates, without realizing it, and without knowing the right carbs. "Brown rice, pastas, breads, and whole-grain cereals, provide fiber to keep you feeling full," says Tamara Melton, RD, a wellness nutritionist. "Much of the problem with carbohydrates is what you pile on them. Watch out for butter and cheese on your bread and sauce on your pasta. Carbohydrates should be an important part of your healthy diet — just keep your portions under control." It's all about choosing the right carbs, good carbs in maintaining a healthy diet, great nutrition and healthy living.
