Holiday and All Time Healthy Eating

A few more days and and we find ourselves in the most difficult time to keep a balanced diet and to keep ourselves from indulging. Don’t be too hard on yourself. The world won’t come to an end if you enjoy yourself only keep repeating one word “moderation” It will take you through the holiday and let you enjoy everything you want to eat or drink. Do as much sport and outdoor activity as possible, that will help burn the extra calories.
The other day I read something about fats. Good and bad and I would like to share some of it with you.
If you are planning to cook a lot this month, or any other time know your Good Fats versus Bad Fats. Here are some samples.
Good fats: Omega-3Fatty Acids the best fats on the planet earth. Omega-3 adds years to your life, reduces the risk of heart attack, helps reducing arthritis, depression and some cancers. You will find it in fatty fish like wild salmon, herring, sardine and tuna. Flaxseed and flack seed oil and walnuts.
The Monos. All monounsaturated fats are god for your heart by raising the HDL good cholesterol and lowering LDL bad cholesterol the artery clogger.
You will find it in olives, virgin olive oil, canola oil, peanuts, nuts and avocados.

Polyunsaturated fats also in the good fat category. Find it in corn, soybean, safflower sunflower oil, and fatty fish even light canned tuna.

Bad fats: Saturated fats raise blood cholesterol to artery-clogging level.
Avoid if possible, meat with visible fats, poultry skin, fats and dark meat.
Whole milk, butter, fat cheeses, ice cream and sour cream. Coconut and palm oils, lard and shortening.
Trans fats are the worst fats. They boost bad cholesterol, lower good cholesterol, clog the arteries. Can set off inflammation trough the body which in turn can trigger stoke or diabetes. Avoid if you can, processed foods, all deep fried foods, candy, and commercially backed foods.

Looking at this list, you will see that avoiding bad fats is not that hard. With a little imagination and creativity you can avoid that entire bad food, make healthy choices enjoy life and slow down the aging process.
Happy Holidays and a healthy happy New Year.

Happy Holiday Season

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day and watched your food intake, if not go work out at the gym or go for a 30 minutes’ walk every day.
As the holidays approaching you’ll be surrounded with food and it is going to be tough not to indulge.
Don’t be hard on yourself as long as you watch not to over eat and take it easy when it comes to the sweets. The important thing is to enjoy your family and friends and being together. That what the holiday is all about anyway.
In my neck of the woods the snow has fallen and it is here to stay. Good time to have a good old fashion snowball fight.
I wish you all a very happy and fun filled holiday season.

Healthy Holiday Eating

.

With the holiday around the corner, feasting season is fast approaching, whether you like it or not and with this comes the difficult time to keep up with your hard worked effort to stay straight in line.
There are some tips which works for me and may work for you as well, providing you are serious about it.
Keep your exercise routine, watch your food intake, especially when attending a social function, or eating out with friends.
Holiday weight comes on quickly and it is difficult to lose it. Take one day at the time. Make adjustment in calorie intake in the days when you attend several parties dinners or brunch. Focus on fruit, veggies, lean protein and high fibber grain. Be selective at a buffet event. Take small portion of what you like and if possible stay away from creamy sugary salty things.
If you have to indulge, give up something in exchange. Lunch or dinner or afternoon snack and be willing to put some extra time at the gym.
It is not as hard as it seem. Enjoy your friends and family, keep moving. Avoid feeling tired and sluggish, have a positive attitude and enjoy life. It is shorter then you think.

Succeful Aging

This week I received the result of the tests done at my last DR’s visit a short while ago it was perfect. All tests showed the right number and at the age of 86 plus, I consider this as an accomplishment.
My Doctor urged me to continue doing my routine, which I will and also will motivate anybody who is willing to listen to me.
It all comes down how important is YOUR health to you, do you want to slow down the aging process. You have to understand and accept that nobody will or can do it for you. It is only you, your perseverance and motivation. The rewards are big worth every hard minute you put into it and are never too late to start.
You do not have to be rich for this; fancy equipment will not do it for you if you only use it periodically. Walk, take the stairs one floor at the time, and swim if you can, dance laugh and very important, have a positive attitude.
You can do it and you will see results that I can promise you. If you have any questions ask me. I’ll be happy to reply
Once you establish a routine, is not hard anymore. I don’t even think about it, I just do it and so will you.

Self Help Motivation

Self discipline...not an easy task to follow and many of us struggle with it even dough we know the importance and benefits.
Not many know that self-discipline can be strengthened and developed just like any other skill to give you the power to follow your decisions and stick to them so you can reach your goal.
For a healthy life style, you have to control yourself. Our limited willpower is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it becomes.
I know people who after two months of regular exercise experienced less impulse spending, junk food consumption and smoking. Some also studied more and did more housework. The explanation must be that if you consistently do an activity that requires self-control seems to increase willpower. Makes sense to me.
Here are some tips which work for me. Get on a Schedule, have everything ready, this way you will avoid to debate with yourself to do it or not to.
Exercise with a friend if that is possible. It is more fun and you can support each other.
If exercising after work is too much, find time and do it first thing in the morning.
Have a positive attitude. Studies shows that people with positive attitude can muster more elf-control then those with a negative attitude. Listening to music that makes you happy, could be just the motivation you need.
Self-control is like a muscle. The more is flexed the bigger it gets. The more you take the challenge to resists temptation the more you build self-control.
You can do it.
