With so many different sources of dietary fat—some good and some bad—the choices can get confusing. But the bottom line is simple: don’t go no-fat, go good fat.

If you are concerned about your weight or heart health, rather than avoiding fat in your diet, try replacing saturated fats and trans fats with good fats. This might mean replacing some of the meat you eat with beans and legumes, or using olive oil rather than butter.

• Try to eliminate trans fats from your diet. Check food labels for trans fats. Avoiding commercially-baked goods goes a long way. Also limit fast food.
• Limit your intake of saturated fats by cutting back on red meat and full-fat dairy foods. Try replacing red meat with beans, nuts, poultry, and fish whenever possible, and switching from whole milk and other full-fat dairy foods to lower fat versions.
• Eat omega-3 fats every day. Good sources include fish, walnuts, ground flax seeds, flaxseed oil, canola oil, and soybean oil.

How much fat is too much?

How much fat is too much depends on your lifestyle, your weight, your age and most importantly the state of your health. The USDA recommends that the average individual:

• Keep total fat intake to 20-35% of calories
• Limit saturated fats to less than 10% of your calories (200 calories for a 2000 calorie diet)
• Limit trans fats to 1% of calories (2 grams per day for a 2000 calorie diet)

When focusing on healthy fats, a good place to start is reducing your consumption of saturated fats. Saturated fats are mainly found in animal products such as red meat and whole milk dairy products. Poultry and fish also contain saturated fat, but less than red meat. Other sources of saturated fat include tropical vegetable oils such as coconut oil and palm oil.

Simple ways to reduce saturated fat

• Eat less red meat (beef, pork, or lamb) and more fish and chicken
• Go for lean cuts of meat, and stick to white meat, which has less saturated fat.
• Bake, broil, or grill instead of frying.
• Remove the skin from chicken and trim as much fat off of meat as possible before cooking.
• Avoid breaded meats and vegetables and deep-fried foods.
• Choose low-fat milk and lower-fat cheeses like mozzarella whenever possible; enjoy full-fat dairy in moderation.
• Use liquid vegetable oils such as olive oil or canola oil instead of lard, shortening, or butter.
• Avoid cream and cheese sauces, or have them served on the side.

Eliminate trans fats from your diet

A trans fat is a normal fat molecule that has been twisted and deformed during a process calledhydrogenation. During this process, liquid vegetable oil is heated and combined with hydrogen gas. Partially hydrogenating vegetable oils makes them more stable and less likely to spoil, which is very good for food manufacturers—and very bad for you.

No amount of trans fats is healthy. Trans fats contribute to major health problems, from heart disease to cancer.

Sources of trans fats

Many people think of margarine when they picture trans fats, and it’s true that some margarines are loaded with them. However, the primary source of trans fats in the Western diet comes from commercially-prepared baked goods and snack foods:

• Baked goods – cookies, crackers, cakes, muffins, pie crusts, pizza dough, and some breads like hamburger buns
• Fried foods – doughnuts, French fries, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, and hard taco shells
• Snack foods – potato, corn, and tortilla chips; candy; packaged or microwave popcorn
• Solid fats – stick margarine and semi-solid vegetable shortening
• Pre-mixed products – cake mix, pancake mix, and chocolate drink mix

Don’t drink your calories. Beverages are bottomless these days — you can’t order a soft drink or iced tea at a restaurant without being provided quick, free refills, or having the freedom to get them yourself. To keep from drinking a day’s worth of calories, choose herbal tea, unsweetened iced tea with Splenda (or another artificial, no-cal sweetener), diet flavored-water, bottled or tap water with a spritz of lemon or lime, or diet soda. If none of those better choices suits you, allow yourself one glass of the “real thing” and drink only water thereafter. (Tip: Ask for extra ice in that first glass of soda and you will drink less.) By stopping at one glass, you will save yourself hundreds — or even thousands — of calories.
Always eat breakfast. Taking the time to eat could prevent costly mistakes as the day progresses; skipping this important morning meal can lead to an out of control afternoon appetite, oversized portions, poor food choices, and overeating, even later on into the night. Plus, going too long without eating may cause your metabolism to slow down. If you can’t eat first thing in the morning, a healthful, mid-morning snack is a good idea. If you are not hungry in the morning, it could be a sign that you are eating too close to bedtime. Set a cut-off time for evening eating (such as 7 p.m.) and you will probably feel more like eating in the a.m.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. You hear it all the time, but you really do need to work in those recommended six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day. Thirst can easily be mistaken for hunger, so you could be reaching for food when you are actually thirsty. Eating water-rich foods like fruit will help you stay well-hydrated, too. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink; try sipping water throughout the day and you may be surprised to find that your appetite seems much tamer.

Add at least one more serving of produce to as many meals as possible. Veggies and fruit are all nutrient-rich, low-cal and filling — just be careful of creamy dips or dressings, butter, cheese sauce, and fried vegetables. Salsa, soups, and pasta sauce are easy ways to work in even more vegetable servings. Keep the skin on fresh produce, such as apples, whenever possible as it contains more fiber. Remember, fiber takes a while to digest so you feel fuller longer after eating it, which will help you eat less in the long run.

Make a salad your starter. Having a salad before your meal will almost certainly prevent you from overeating. Load up all the veggies you like, but just be careful about adding high-fat extras such as pasta salads, shredded cheese or cream-based dressings. (Tip: Spray dressings are excellent for cutting calories as most only have about 10 calories per spritz). Prepackaged, washed salads make it easy to add a salad to any meal without extra effort. Most fast food restaurants offer a reasonably-priced side salad, or some menus offer the option to substitute salad for another side item when purchasing a “combo” or “value” meal.

Be a better baker. Start baking immediately following a meal so you will be less likely to sample. Chew flavorful gum like peppermint or spearmint so your mouth will be otherwise occupied. Healthier baking ingredient substitutions help cut fat and calories.

Go for grains. Whole grains will help you feel full longer than refined carbohydrates. In the morning, fiber-rich cereal like Kellog’s All-Bran, is a good choice, as is oatmeal. Brown rice, whole grain bread, and whole wheat crackers, are all good ways to include grains in your day: A slice of whole wheat bread goes well with a salad; microwavable, single-serving brown rice is easy to add to lunch at the office; keep wheat crackers stored in your desk drawer for when the afternoon munchies strike.

Always keep healthy frozen meals on hand. They will be a backup plan for nights when you don’t have time to prepare and cook a healthy meal. Try to choose meals with around 300 to 350 calories. (Tip: Even some of the healthier frozen meal choices are skimpy on veggies, so be sure to add a packaged salad or a microwavable, single-serving frozen vegetable to your “instant meal” to better round it out.

Choose foods that will help you feel satisfied longer. While both protein and fat help you feel sated longer than simple carbohydrates, protein naturally contains fewer calories per ounce than fat. Eggs, lean meats, skinless poultry, and reduced-fat dairy products are ideal protein sources. A snack like yogurt, a boiled egg, string cheese or turkey slices will give you an energy boost and quell hunger pangs. Whole grains also contain protein, so you may find combining an animal or dairy protein with a complex carb such as whole wheat crackers or whole grain bread to be even more effective at keeping your energy up and hunger down. If you don’t eat meat or dairy, there are also several other sources of protein, such as beans, legumes, and nuts.

Catch some “Zs.” Did you know getting enough rest can have a direct impact on your ability to lose weight? Not getting enough sleep can cause you to eat more often or make poor choices (In an effort to compensate for feeling groggy, we tend to naturally reach for higher-calorie, high-fat foods.). Getting enough sleep also ensures that you feel energized enough to exercise and that you work out to your fullest capacity when you do. Even if you can’t add additional sleeping hours, take some time to simply do nothing, practice deep breathing, read, or listen to some calming music every day. Making a point to relax more can keep emotional eating — particularly stress-eating — at bay.

1 – Create a plan.

2 – If you plan on joining a gym, go on the way home from work. It may be more difficult to motivate yourself to go once you are home and settled in.

3 – Enlist a friend. Working out with someone can help motivate you to keep going, even if you don’t want to.

4 – Make it fun! Change up your cardio to include some fun activities such as hiking, swimming or biking.

5 – Set realistic goals along the way and give yourself a reward as you reach each one! There is nothing like working towards something and finally accomplishing it.

6 – Recognize the benefits, and remember why you started exercising. Write down the health benefits and refer to it when you feel like slacking.

7 – Keep track of your workouts, including how much weight you’re lifting in a small journal that you can take with you. Periodically looking back to see far how you’ve come will encourage you to keep going.

8 – Vary your routine. Sticking to the same old plan can quickly lead to boredom and becoming stagnant.

9 – Join an adult sports team. Whether you enjoy softball or soccer, playing on a regular basis will keep you moving, and motivate you to stay at the top of your game.

10 – Get the help of a personal trainer. They can help you get the most out of your workout, as well as force you to be accountable to someone.

Calcium: The key to strong bones and lifelong bone health

Calcium is one of the key nutrients that your body needs in order to stay strong and healthy. It is an essential building block for lifelong bone health in both men and women, among many other important functions. Because calcium has so many important jobs, it’s important to get enough of it in your diet.
The amount of calcium you need depends on a number of different factors, including your age. But no matter who you are, one thing’s true for everyone: you and your bones will benefit from eating plenty of calcium-rich foods, limiting foods that deplete your body’s calcium stores, and getting your daily dose of magnesium and vitamins D and K—nutrients that help calcium do its job.

Steps for Establishing regular eating habits

Don’t skip breakfast. Start your day off with a good breakfast. Eating breakfast every day will help you have energy as well as steady blood sugar levels.
Eat small meals at regular times. It is helpful to eat 3 small meals plus 3 snacks spread out through the day. People tend to eat larger portions when they are overly hungry, so eating regularly will help you keep your portions in check.
Keep calorie intake the same. Regulating the amount of calories you eat on a day-to-day basis has an impact on the regularity of your blood sugar levels. Try to eat roughly the same amount of calories every day, rather than overeating one day or at one meal, and then skimping on the next.
Listen to your body. It takes a little time for your brain to get the message that you’ve had enough to eat, so stop eating when you feel 80% full. Wait 20 minutes. If you’re still hungry, you can choose to have a little more.
Keep portion sizes under control
Making sure you do not eat too many calories is important in any healthy diet, but it is especially important for diabetics. Controlling your portion sizes is key to controlling calories:

Divide your plate into 3 parts: ½, ¼, ¼. Fill half of your plate with non-starchy veggies (greens, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, peppers, carrots, turnips, etc.). Split the other half of your plate into two equal parts, filling one with protein and the other with a starchy carbohydrate (rice, potatoes, pasta, whole-grain bread).
Aim for a protein serving of around 3 oz., which is about the size of a deck of cards for meat. Animal protein is more calorie dense, so it is important to really pay attention to how much you are eating.
Keep servings of starchy carbs to ½ cup. One serving of starchy carbohydrate is ½ cup cooked rice or pasta, which is about the size of half of a baseball.
Start your meals with veggies, which will help fill you up and give you lots of nutrients.
Save half of restaurant meals for later. When out at a restaurant, ask the server to put half the meal on your plate and pack the other half to go.
Read labels on foods, so you can understand how many servings and portions are in items.

Choose fats wisely

Unhealthy fats – The two most damaging fats are saturated fats and trans fats. Saturated fats are found mainly in animal products such as red meat, whole milk dairy products, and eggs. Trans fats, also called partially hydrogenated oils, are created by adding hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid and less likely to spoil—which is very good for food manufacturers, and very bad for you.
Healthy fats – The best fats are unsaturated fats, which come from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature. Primary sources include olive oil, canola oil, nuts, and avocados. Also focus on omega-3 fatty acids, which fight inflammation and support brain and heart health. Good sources include salmon, tuna, and flaxseeds.
Ways to reduce unhealthy fats and add healthy fats:
Instead of snacking on cheese, chips or crackers, enjoy a handful of nuts or seeds. Go for variety with sunflower, pumpkin seeds, almonds, cashews, pecans, and walnuts.
Instead of cooking with butter or vegetable oil, use olive oil.
Trim any visible fat off of meat before cooking and remove the skin before cooking chicken and turkey.
Instead of frying, choose to grill, broil, bake, or stir-fry.
Serve fish for 2 or 3 meals each week instead of red meat.
Add avocado to your sandwiches instead of cheese. This will keep the creamy texture, but improve the health factor.
When baking, use canola oil or apple sauce instead of shortening or butter.
Find other ways to make soups creamy instead of using heavy cream. Try blending cooked potatoes in a soup, or adding a little cornstarch (mix with cold water then add to the soup). Then add a little swirl of good olive oil on top.

Diabetes is on the rise, yet most cases of diabetes are preventable with healthy lifestyle changes. Some can even be reversed. The bottom line is that you have more control over your health than you think. If you’re concerned about diabetes, you can make a difference by eating a healthy diet, keeping your weight in check, and getting exercise.

Eating right for diabetes comes down to three things:

• What you eat. Your diet makes a huge difference!! You should eat mostly plant foods, cut back on refined carbs and sugary drinks, and choose healthy fats over unhealthy fats.
• When you eat. Diet is part of it, but keeping regular meal and snack times also affects your blood sugar levels and will help to keep them more constant.
• How much you eat. Portion sizes matter. Even if you eat very healthy meals, if you eat too much you will gain weight, which is a factor in diabetes.

You do not need to eat special foods, but instead simply emphasize vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. A diabetes diet is simply a healthy eating plan that is high in nutrients, low in fat, and moderate in calories. It is a healthy diet for anyone!

Myths and facts about eating to prevent or control diabetes

MYTH: You must avoid sugar at all costs.

Fact: The good news is that you can enjoy your favorite treats as long as you plan properly. The key when eating dessert or a sweet treat, is to make sure that it is part of a healthy meal plan, or combined with exercise.

MYTH: A high-protein diet is best.

Fact: Studies have shown that eating too much protein, especially animal protein, may actually cause insulin resistance, a key factor in diabetes. A healthy diet includes protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Our bodies need all three to function properly. The key is a balanced diet.

MYTH: You have to cut way down on carbs.

Fact: Again, the key is to eat a balanced diet. The serving size and the type you eat are especially important for carbohydrates. Focus on whole grain carbs since they are a good source of fiber and they are digested slowly, keeping blood sugar levels more even.

MYTH: You’ll no longer be able to eat normally. You need special diabetic meals.

Fact: The principles of healthy eating are the same—whether or not you’re trying to prevent or control diabetes. Expensive diabetic and “dietetic” foods generally offer no special benefit. You can easily eat with your family and friends if you eat in moderation.

Eating right is a key step to preventing and controlling diabetes. Fortunately, whether you’re trying to reduce your risk of diabetes or manage a pre-existing problem, you can still enjoy your favorite foods and take pleasure from your meals. Your nutritional needs are the same as everyone else—no special foods or complicated diets are necessary. But if the way you eat has been less than healthy, you may need to learn some better eating habits. The key to a diabetes diet is eating in moderation, sticking to regular mealtimes, and eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Starvation diet is definitely not good for our health. Our body needs food to produce energy so we can do our daily activities. The nutrients we get from food including fats and carbohydrates are important in maintaining the physiologic function of the body. However, these nutrients become bad for the body when they are taken in excess. The nutrients, if not converted to energy are stored in the body as fat deposits, thus the appearance of the undesirable belly fat and love handles.

The role of fat in a weight loss diet
Fats are an essential food nutrient because they provide twice the amount of energy than carbohydrates and proteins, and they help in protecting body organs and tissues and maintaining the body temperature.

Fats= 9 calories

Carbohydrates= 4 calories

Protein= 4 calories

CAUTION: Too much fat can be very harmful to the body. Excess fat do not only form the bulges on your body but it could also clog the arteries of the heart causing myocardial infarction or heart attack.

What is a low-fat diet?
Low- Fat diet has been promoted by the US Department of Health since the late 1970’s. But what does low- fat diet really mean?

Basically, there are three types of fat: The Saturated fat which is the Bad fat because it increases the blood cholesterol level, The Polyunsaturated fat that decreases the blood cholesterol level, and the Monounsaturated fat which decreases the Low- density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or the “bad cholesterol”.

Low- fat diet means: decreasing the consumption of food that contains saturated fat while increasing the consumption of food that contains polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat. Food like most meat and dairy products, butter, and tropical oils such as coconut oil and palm oil should be avoided as they are high in saturated fat. Polyunsaturated fat are usually found in plant food sources such as corn, soybean, safflower, and sunflower. Food sources for Monounsaturated fat includes olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil, and some fruits like avocado.

Carbohydrates are bad or good?

Carbohydrates provides real-time energy in the body and should account for 50- 60% of the total calories we take in everyday. However, with sedentary lifestyle, the calories you get from carbohydrates that are supposed to be converted to real-time energy are stored as fat deposits, thus you gain weight.

Low –carb diets are among the most popular weight loss diets. There are many variations like:

The Anabolic Diet which alternates low carb and periods of high carb eating

Carbohydrate addicts which serves 2 meals with no carbs and 1 meal of 1/3 carb a day

Ketogenic Diet which eliminates carbohydrate completely and compensates the caloric need with high fat and moderate protein intake.

But as per definition, having less than 50-60% of carb ratio in a serving is low carb diet. If your goal is to maintain your current weight, do take in moderate carb which is about 40-50% carb in your diet. And if you want to lose weight, you may go with low- carb diet which contains 25-39% carb. Lower than this is not really recommended as it could cause conditions like ketosis, presence of ketone bodies in the blood. Very high ketone level can make the blood acidic and may damage organs like the liver and the kidneys.

Some weight loss diet tips that can help eat healthier are:

Instead of eating ice cream, have a low fat yogurt or sherbet.
Use skim milk (fat- free milk) instead of whole milk.
Instead of eating pasta alfredo (white sauce pasta) eat pasta marinara (red sauce pasta).
You may substitute bacon with lean ham.
Since the American Heart Association recommends avoiding coconut oil because it contains 85- 90% saturated fat, use olive oil or canola oil when cooking food.
Chocoholics may eat dark chocolate which is rich in anti-oxidant rather than a milk chocolate.
Use beef loin instead of brisket
Instead of white bread eat whole grain bread such as wheat bread
Snack on Peaches (61 calories/pc.), blackberries (62 calories/serving), and carrot sticks (52 calories/cup) instead of fried chips.

Being overweight or obese doesn’t only place a person at risk from developing diseases like diabetes, respiratory diseases, cancer, osteoarthritis and cardiovascular diseases but it could also affect one’s emotional and social life. People who are overweight and obese could suffer from low self-esteem, depression, and impaired body image. Because of this, more and more people are being conscious of their weight. Losing weight is a tough challenge; you must be really committed as lifestyle changes should be made.

People who successfully lose weight start with their head – by changing their overall mental attitude towards it. Instead of lamenting about what they’re missing, they focus their energy on what they’re going to gain when the weight drops. It is this attitude that validates why they are doing it in the first place. Hence, their focus is strong and never easily shaken. “More confident”, “disciplined” and “easier than I thought!” are the phrases many of my clients use to describe the feeling of losing the first several kilos when I see them at their follow-up session. This drives them to achieve more.

Action plan: Take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. Label one column, “Positives of losing weight” and the other “Negatives of losing weight”. Then spend several minutes thinking about it and jotting down the reasons. There’s nothing like the power of the pen and seeing your objectives stated clearly on paper to push you towards doing something. I suggest you stick this paper some place where you can see it every day.

Do it for yourself

Dig deep to find your motivation. The whole wide world can tell you to lose the kilos, but one of the most powerful reasons you can ever find to lose weight is to do it for yourself. Many of the overweight clients I see are selfless by nature. They put everyone else first before themselves. So it’s no wonder that when it comes to their weight, it’s often the last thing they think about when they are busy taking care of everyone else’s matters.

Action plan: Time to take charge and stop letting other people rob you of what’s important to you! If there is a certain food you feel you need to eat more of to replace your usual high-fat choices, go out and buy it – even if no one else in the family eats it. When eating out with others, suggest places that you know serves the foods suitable for your new eating style, instead of letting other people dictate where to eat all the time. Lock in your time for exercise into your diary like it is an important appointment and do not cancel it unless absolutely necessary.

Pick your battles

Instead of seeing weight loss as merely a short-term measure to shed a few kilos, people who have successfully lost weight tackle smaller changes first. These are the changes that they can easily achieve and sustain. If you set your expectations too high, you may feel overwhelmed and disheartened. Over time, the small lifestyle changes you manage to sustain will bring about the permanent weight loss you ultimately want to achieve.

Action plan: Reflect on your typical day and pick one of your worst eating habits. Perhaps you eat a lot of fried foods or have too many carbonated soft drinks. Then for one week, break that habit by going without it. For example, order fruit juices instead of sodas. Challenge yourself to enjoy other beverages which you would not have thought about. You may find a healthier new favourite. The following week, choose another eating habit that can be improved on and work at it. As the weeks go by, you would have developed more good eating habits. That will work in your favour to get the weighing scale moving in the right direction.

Let your actions do the talking

In their initial zeal to start losing weight, many people make one of the biggest mistakes. They talk too much about it to everyone, only to be disheartened when family, friends and colleagues make light of it. They invite negativity before getting started on their weight loss programme, by having the pressure of expectations. Well, here’s a reality check for you – what were you expecting to hear, anyway? Not everyone out there is going to be sympathetic to your goal. Some can be downright sarcastic and discouraging, while others are probably just tired of hearing you sing the same tune over and over again – because chances are, this is not the first time they’ve heard you say you want to lose weight. If you still need to confide in someone, pick someone who is encouraging.

Action plan: Talk less, and put in more action. Focus on doing the things that will start you losing weight. And if people notice the changes in your actions, don’t try to offer them an explanation. Consider this scenario: you choose to eat noodle soup for lunch instead of your usual fast food meal combo because you know it’s lower in fat. This prompts your colleagues to snidely comment: “Why, trying to lose weight again?” Instead of justifying your decision, a wise answer from you would be: “Just feel like trying something different.”

By adopting this attitude, your effort to lose weight will be natural because it’s not something you’re constantly worried about or doing for approval. And when your colleagues start noticing that you are losing weight, you can reply: “Thank you”.

To lose 50 pounds is never an easy thing to do. But people have done it before you, so it’s entirely within your power. I say this only to be straight with you: it’s not going to be easy for you, but you can succeed if you set your mind to it. I can only suggest a way in which you can do it.
To lose 50 pounds fast, you need a diet which will provide a fast and continuous weight loss. Fast because you want to get thin as soon as possible, continuous because it takes time to lose 50 pounds. To do so, you need a diet which will work in the long term and not just in the short term. That’s why you need to be extra careful when choosing a diet to follow, since most diets will only work short term and not long.
To lose 50 lbs as fast as possible, I recommend a diet called Fat Loss 4 Idiots. Why do I make this recommendation? Because this diet provides a fast and continuous weight loss, just as we decided you need in order to achieve your goal.
How does this diet work? Fat Loss 4 Idiots is an online diet, which means that you download it to your computer. You get an ebook with diet tips and guidelines for you to follow, and a unique menu generating software through which you get a personal menu which is based on foods selected by you. The reason it’s called Fat Loss 4 Idiots is that you just need to stick to the menu (which has 4 meals each day) in order to succeed. It’s so simple an idiot can do it.
Fat Loss 4 Idiots is based on the Calorie Shifting diet method. This is a scientific method by which you maintain a high metabolic rate by eating different types of calories throughout the day. That way your metabolism remains running high, unlike many other diets which cause the metabolism to slow down.
How much can you lose with this diet? The diet says you can lose 9 pounds every 11 days. I say that even if your lose 6-7 pounds in that time frame, you should be very happy. According to this weight loss rate, you can expect to lose 50 pounds in as little as 4 months which is very impressive.
I hope I’ve given you something to consider when you ask yourself how to lose 50 pounds fast. I wish you the best of luck.

1. Block platelet aggregation (clotting)
2. Reduce blood vessel constriction
3. Increase blood flow
4. Lower fibrinogen (clotting factor)
5. Increase fibrinolytic (clot-dissolving) activity
6. Block cell damage from oxygen free radicals
7. Lower triglycerides
8. Raise good HDL cholesterol
9. Makes cell membranes more flexible
10. Lower blood pressure

However, wrong food choice may do just the opposite of the above.
Scientific evidence indicates that diet is vital to whether your arteries clog or your heart gives out. Stopping the progression of artery disease in the first place with your diet is foremost in warding off heart attacks and strokes. Even if you already had heart problems, including a heart attack, changing your diet now may prevent future cardiac problems and even halt or reverse arterial damage, helping restore arteries to health.
Coronary heart disease is the most common of all heart diseases. It is characterized by blockage in the coronary arteries that result in reduction of blood flows to the heart muscle, depriving it of vital oxygen. The clogging of coronary artery, known as arteriosclerosis, begins with fatty streaks in and under the layer of cells, that line artery walls. Gradually, the streaks are transformed into plaques-fatty scar tissue that bulges into the artery opening, partly choking off blood flow.
If the clot becomes large enough, it can block blood flow, suffocating large patches of cardiac muscle, an event known as a heart attack or angina. Or if a blood vessel to the brain closes off or ruptures, it will result in a stroke. While the exact causes of coronary heart disease are imperfectly understood, certain major risk factors have been identified, including genes, gender, diet, and lifestyle – smoking, exercise, and stress.

The quote below came from the Negative Calorie Foods Site:

“All foods have some calories. No food is actually “negative calorie” food. BUT the overall effect of certain foods in our body is that of “negative calories”. Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually contain!

Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to breakdown and process. In other words, the body has to work harder in order to extract calories from these foods. This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning advantage.

Negative Calorie Foods! Are They For Real?
