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!

>> Friday, April 30, 2010

Regular Coffee Consumption Can Reduce Risk of Prostate Cancer in healthy males. The U.S. is responsible for more than a third of coffee consumption worldwide peaking at 400 million cups every single day, and studies show that Coffee Consumption is not only a goot part of a healthy diet, but "Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful,” says Dr. Tomas DePaulis, research scientist at Vanderbilt University’s Institute for Coffee Studies.



A study by researchers from the Channing Laboratory at the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health, was based on an analysis of information from the Health Professionals’ Follow-Up Study, which included data on the coffee-drinking habits of about 50,000 men from 1986 to 2006.
