			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are trying to lose weight fast, you are not by yourself because there are others just like you. Although losing weight is obtainable, doing it requires a lot of hard work and determination. Quite obviously, you want to continue to be healthy while you are doing it. The following suggestions on losing weight fast will guide you in reaching your perfect weight as fast as possible.</p>
<p>Most dieters who are trying to lose weight fast, do not recognize how many extra calories they are eating via sneaky methods. For instance, if you have two or three cups of coffee in a day that contain sugar and cream, this will increase the calorie amount tremendously. Similarly, salad is a healthy and does not contain many calories, but not if you put on loads of high calorie salad dressing. Try putting on some oil and vinegar or maybe a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper instead of using the high calorie conventional dressings. If you like to eat out, you don&#8217;t know what is in the salad dressing. Salad bars also have many high calorie foods, such as potato salad and pasta. Just because you eat something in a salad does not make the salad low in calories. All of these toppings and dressings can get in the way of your goal of losing weight fast.</p>
<p>If losing as much weight as possible quickly is your goal, you will always want to have breakfast. A good rule to go by is to eat more in the morning and afternoon and then eat fewer calories in the evening and night times.</p>
<p>When you don&#8217;t eat breakfast, you will get hungrier later, which means you&#8217;ll gorge yourself in the evening. When you eat more later in the day, it gets harder for your body to burn off the calories. The more nutrition you can pack into your breakfast, when you have all day to work off those calories, the less you&#8217;ll need to eat large meals later on. You should also keep away from big meals or heavy snacking right before bed because your body cannot digest that food while you&#8217;re in your deep slumber. So if you hope to lose weight fast, you&#8217;ll want to eat the majority of your calories in the day time and keep the small meals for later.</p>
<p>If you drink plenty of water, this can also help you lose weight fast. If you want to be healthy and you want a healthy metabolism, make sure you hydrate yourself. An extra benefit to drinking a lot of water is that you will find that you&#8217;re hungry less often. Most people don&#8217;t know this but sometimes when you feel hunger, you&#8217;re actually just thirsty. To hydrate yourself, there is no substitute for plain water. Most of the energy drinks on the market are extremely high in sugar, and so they won&#8217;t do you a bit of good when you&#8217;re trying to lose weight. As a matter of fact, even all-natural fruit juices are jam-packed with sugar, so they even need to be kept to a minimum, but you can drink as much water as you can handle. If you want to lose weight quickly, this is something you&#8217;ll want to adopt into your regular routine.</p>
<p>In closing, you can lose weight quickly but you are going to have to give it all your attention as it&#8217;s likely going to require a complete overhaul of your life. The techniques you just read about can help you make those positive changes, but it all depends on how focused you are on your goals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We ‘ve heard of the government trying to regulate health and other aspects of our lives and the decisions we make with it, but now this one I think is going way overboard.  Apparently there are some in New York who think that New Yorkers need to be forced to cut back on their salt intake. Yes, salt intake here in the US is disgustingly high, and it probably has been the cause of certain health issues, however, so have fats and calories.</p>
<p>I am one who thinks that cutting out certain types of foods or trying to legislate them in public places where people dine is only going to go so far as to hurt business, and I am against anything that hurts businesses right now. I mean, if you want to really control salt intake, you would have to have a presence not only in the restaurants that citizens frequent, but also in their homes, and even in the grocery stores.</p>
<p>Think about it, you can only regulate the public places, not a person in their own home, so what is the point of hurting business when you know you can’t regulate it all the time?</p>
<p>Of course, chefs in New York are in a tizzy (I would be too).  While there may be such a thing as social responsibility, being forced to not add any salt or salt spices to your dishes is downright “absurd” and is the government going overboard. I would have to  agree.</p>
<p>I know that I need to cut my salt intake down, but if I were forced to eat a saltless, less flavorful dish at a restaurant every time I dined out and wanted to enjoy myself, well I’d be a little bit salty (ok I think I just committed one of the worst puns ever).</p>
<p>The bill has been introduced by a Democrat in New York, and it proposes to fine restaurants in violation of using salt or salt derivatives in it’s cooking $1,000 per violation.  I can’t believe we’re focusing on something so ridiculous. How many lives do they really think they’re going to save by doing this?  Let’s hope this bill gets squashed pronto.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our bodies naturally produce cholesterol. The amount is dependent on genetics. It’s not inherently bad. You need cholesterol for various bodily functions. However, too much cholesterol can be unhealthy. The American Heart Association established a range for your daily intake:</p>
<p>    * Less than 200 mg/dL is considered healthy.</p>
<p>    * 200 to 239 mg/dL is borderline high cholesterol.</p>
<p>    * 240 mg/dL and above is an unhealthy cholesterol level.</p>
<p>Many of our favorite foods contribute to high cholesterol. But there are some foods that can lower your cholesterol levels. Here are the top five as recommended by the Mayo Clinic:</p>
<p><strong>1. Oatmeal and Oat Bran</strong><br />
Fiber is a key component in the fight against high cholesterol. Oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which lowers your LDL cholesterol, also known as the “bad” cholesterol.</p>
<p><strong>2. Walnuts and Almonds</strong><br />
Walnuts and almonds are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which help lower cholesterol levels.</p>
<p><strong>3. Fish and Omega-3 Fatty Acids</strong><br />
Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and albacore tuna have omega-3 fatty acids that help your heart in many ways, including lowering cholesterol.</p>
<p><strong>4. Olive Oil</strong><br />
This Mediterranean dietary favorite contains antioxidants that lower LDL cholesterol. The Food and Drug Administration recommends about two tablespoons of olive oil a day.</p>
<p><strong>5. Foods Fortified with Plant Sterols or Stanols</strong><br />
Sterols or stanols are substances that are in plants that help block the absorption of cholesterol. Now, foods are fortified with sterols or stanols, including margarines, orange juice and yogurt drinks. You find the substances naturally in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes.</p>
<p>These are just some of foods that can counteract the cholesterol produced by your body or eaten on a daily basis. Incorporate them into a balanced diet and you can enjoy foods like eggs and beef in moderation without guilt or worry of damaging your health.</p>

It is one of the few diets that caused a kind of mass hysteria. Food manufacturers lined up to bring new lines of low-carb food, and everyone was talking about Atkins.</p>
<p>Dr Robert Atkins passed away in 2003, and since then the super-fad of Atkins has slowly ebbed away. This hasn&#8217;t stopped numerous versions of the Atkins diet appearing on the shelves.</p>
<p>Dr. Atkins&#8217; New Diet Revolution was published in 2002. The All-New Atkins Advantage appeared in late 2007. In between these dates a myriad of variations on the low-carb theme have appeared.</p>
<p>Finally, we have <em>The New Atkins for A New You</em> by <em>Dr Eric Westman</em>.</p>
<p>While it seems odd to keep calling the same diet &#8220;new&#8221; &#8212; it demonstrates that nutrition is a field that is constantly changing as new research comes to hand. The latest Atkins revision includes information from over 50 references that make up the body of research undertaken in the field of low-carbohydrate diets.</p>
<p>Low carb diets will always have their place, and there is ample evidence to show that a restricted carbohydrate approach leads to weight loss. However, it seems that (like many restrictive diets) the fall-off rate is high. It&#8217;s hard to stick to, and long-term results are varied.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Protein is a wonderful thing for your body, it helps you build lean muscle and helps build muscle strength, but protein isn’t a one man show, it needs help, by itself it won’t do your body much good. In order for your body to fully utilize the protein, you need to take in a balanced number of carbohydrates. Only with the carbohydrates can your body use the protein to it’s full extent.</p>
<p>There are many protein drinks, protein bars, protein cereals and a score of other protein things on the market and you will buy them and continue to buy them with no effect until you get frustrated and quit, unless you also take in your fair share of carbohydrates. Without the help of the carbohydrates, you can eat all the protein you want and you will still feel weak and listless because that wonderful and expensive protein is going right through your body without doing you any good at all.</p>
<p>The key to good nutrition is to eat in moderation. Eat your protein, but make sure you eat an equal amount of carbohydrates so you can effectively use the protein you ate. Carbohydrates will also give you the energy you would otherwise lack. If you do utilize the protein drinks and bars on the market, realize that they are likely to be filled with all sorts of things such as artificial sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners can trick your body into thinking it has taken in sugar and it will act accordingly, use these in a pinch, but don’t substitute good, real nutrition for manufactured food substitute. Your best bet will always be to eat natural proteins such as is found in lean meat, nuts, beans, and other natural foods. Again, measure your protein intake by your carbohydrate intake; don’t have more of one than the other.</p>
<p>Body building is much more about good nutrition rather limiting yourself to an excess of one type of food. Supplements that artificially purge your body or build your body will eventually also be your undoing. There are plenty of unnatural ways available to build your body and for a while you will look healthy and strong, but time will tell the difference. You can build a house of cards that looks substantial from the outside, but if it has no inner support, it will be only a matter of time before it falls.</p>
<p>Your eating habits also very important. Eating small amounts at two to three hour intervals are much better than eating large meals four or more hours apart. Eat often and exercise just as often eat smart and eat healthy, that is how you build a lean, muscled, healthy body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.vitalconnectionsweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/acai-.jpg"><img src="http://www.vitalconnectionsweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/acai-.jpg" alt="" title="acai-" width="300" height="212" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-34" /></a> The Acai Berry is a bi-annual fruit from South America that has been hailed as the best super food alive on the planet today, and a “miracle fruit”, correctly pronounced as “ah-sa-ee” and is in actuality a simple palm fruit of amazing nutritional benefit.</p>
<p>The actual fruit of the Acai palm is similar in size and shape as the blueberry with a purple hue. It is rich in antioxidants and is often used in juices and other drink forms as a health shake. The berries are also great in cooking and can be added to breads, or added as topping on desserts. The Acai berry is extremely tasty and has been even been said to have a hint of chocolate in its flavor.</p>
<p>One of the major benefits of the Acai berry is that it is so rich in anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants are known for their free radical fighting properties are known to damage cells and reduce the body’s ability to fight off infections and disease. Free radicals are also connected with skin disease, so their elimination is excellent for dermal health.</p>
<p>Acai berry not only helps the body cleanse itself of unwanted toxins and promote healthy immunity, but the wide range of nutrients and vitamins it contains adds to the nutritional value of this wonder food.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of us believe that eating salad at a restaurant is good for us. Sometimes we may be right but in most cases it is far from the truth. Most coffee shops serve a salad made from iceberg lettuce. This lettuce has no nutritional value, it is very basically fiber held together by water. In the digestive system iceberg lettuce has the nasty habit of turning into a slime that your body then has to break down.</p>
<p>On top of this leafy non-nutritional plate or bowl full, we pour all sorts of different types of salad dressings. Most of these dressings are a creamy sort that is full of fat and sugars. Why do we use these dressings in such large amounts on this particular salad? Because by itself iceberg lettuce has very little taste and this is because, as I said before, it is simply fiber and water.</p>
<p>So next time you think you are going to suffer through a salad in order to feel like you’re doing your body some good, consider this article and maybe decide to go with soup instead. The soup may not be all that good for you but at least you are getting some good flavor for your trouble and you aren’t telling yourself stories.</p>
<p>If a salad is available that has deep green vegetables of all kinds, that one will be healthy for you, but again, dousing it with a large dollop of dressing will negate it’s value to a degree.</p>
