Kids Nutrition 05-08-2008 7:15 am

When it comes to kids nutrition, parents certainly have the best intentions. But many have busy lifestyles that don�t always allow enough time for grocery shopping, meal planning or cooking. Others may not be aware of the healthiest ingredients or cooking methods and may too often rely on fatty or starchy foods as the basis for meals.

Coupled with the picky eating habits that seem to be so prevalent among kids, it�s no wonder that children are often not eating as well as they should.

Age-Old Habits

Older kids are frequently on the run, which may mean not only a lot of convenience items and fast foods, but erratic mealtimes too. According to Luigi Gratton, M.D., clinical physician at University of California, Los Angeles, there are some tactics that parents can take with their kids to help them eat better.

"Setting a good example is a good first step," says Gratton. "Parents should make every attempt to demonstrate healthy eating habits with their kids, and this includes having regular meal times." He also notes that kids are more likely to eat healthy fruits and vegetables when they take part in food shopping and preparation.

Younger children often have a number of foods that they refuse to eat. Children can be particular not just about how a food tastes, but about temperature and texture too.

Winning Strategies for Kids Nutrition

Here are a few ways parents can help their active children eat healthier... Read More (Permalink)

Maintaining your ideal weight 16-08-2008 12:14 pm

Congratulations, you reached your ideal weight. Guess you don't need the weight loss program anymore. Right? Wrong! Just because you have successfully reached your ideal weight doesn't mean you should go off your weight loss program completely.

You may have achieved your weight loss goal but if you backslide then your goal is only fleeting. To maintain your new look you need to work at it just as hard. Well, almost as hard. Maintaining weight loss is a lot easier than a full blown diet, but still takes some effort.

You should be just as serious about keeping the weight off as you were trying to lose it. What you learned about changing your eating habits is still true for weight management. Here are some tips to help you maintain that ideal weight.

Take a good multivitamin daily.
Maintain a high protein, low carb balance in your diet. One nutritional shake mix for breakfast will suffuce.
Keep your metabolism up - Try Total Control a green tea based herbal enhancer specifically for boosting metabolism. I like to have one a day
Do moderate exercise 30 minutes a day. Something as mundane as a brisk walk to the local market will do just fine.

Use these quick tips to keep your weight management on course. They have helped me so much I know they will help you too.

Calcium Supplement - Is it Right For You? 24-08-2008 12:53 pm

It's never too late to increase your Calcium intake. For people in their 40's and 50's increasing Calcium levels helps maintain the bones you have. Herbalife Xtra-Cal offers one of the most concentrated forms of Calcium available in a tablet. It also contains magnesium and Vitamin D for healthier bones and teeth.

Inside Herbalife Xtra-Cal Calcium Supplement

Calcium - If your body is not getting enough calcium from diet it will take what it needs from your bones and teeth. Over time this process leads to osteoporosis a crippling disease that can make bones brittle and susceptible to fracture.

Xtra-Cal is one of the most concentrated forms of Calcium in a supplement that there is.

Vitamin C helps your body prevent the overproduction of the stress hormones cortisol and DHEA. Excessive amounts of these hormones cause a dangerous increase in blood pressure, blood clotting, and blood sugar.

Vitamin E acts as your cardiovascular system's housekeeper. It cleans out cell-damaging free radicals and also helps to prevent platelets from clumping together and clogging your blood vessels.

Magnesium is a mineral needed by every cell in your body. About half your body's magnesium is combined with calcium and phosphorus in your bones.

Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium.

Weight Loss Facts - obese and overweight 26-08-2008 12:58 pm

There is hope for overweight people. They can take small, achievable steps to improve their health and reach their ideal weight. Overweight refers to an excess of body weight, but not necessarily body fat. Obesity means an excessively high proportion of body fat.

Health professionals use a measurement called body mass index (BMI) to classify an adult's weight as healthy, overweight, or obese. BMI describes body weight relative to height and is correlated with total body fat content in most adults.

To get your approximate BMI, multiply your weight in pounds by 703, then divide the result by your height in inches, and divide that result by your height in inches a second time. A BMI from 18.5 up to 25 is considered in the healthy range, from 25 up to 30 is overweight, and 30 or higher is obese. Generally, the higher a person's BMI, the greater the risk for health problems, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

"We know that physical activity in combination with reduced calorie consumption can lead to the 5 to 10 percent weight loss necessary to achieve remission of the obesity-associated complications," says William Dietz, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity at the CDC. "Even these moderate weight losses can improve blood pressure and help control diabetes and high cholesterol in obese or overweight adults."

To reach your goal safely, plan to lose weight gradually. One-half to two pounds of weight loss a week is usually safe, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2000. This can be achieved by decreasing the calories eaten or increasing the calories used by 250 to 1,000 calories per day, depending on current calorie intake. (Some people with serious health problems due to obesity may lose weight more rapidly.)
