■ Breakfast Bravo. Start with a healthful breakfast. Studies show that on days when breakfast cereal is eaten, people consume less fat, fewer total calories and less cholesterol than they do on a day without breakfast cereal. Furthermore, their diets are higher in iron and vitamin A as well.
■ Fiber Focus. Although scientists haven’t come to complete agreement on the definition of fiber, it’s usually described as components of plant food that we cannot completely digest. But experts agree that we’re not getting enough! Double your intake to 25 to 35 grams of fiber daily by choosing fruits, veggies, high-fiber cereals or legumes at each meal.
■ Dining out. Restaurant entertaining can be a colossal calorie-feast-but not if you choose wisely. Select a veggie salad with dressing on the side instead of fatty appetizers. Try chicken or fish dishes without creamy sauces or gravies. S-t-r-e-t-c-h alcoholic beverages by adding mineral water and a twist of lime.
■ Crucifier. Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage-cruciferous vegetables-are loaded with vitamins A and C and fiber. Medical experts tell us there veggies are recommended to help in cancer prevention. Be sure to include them in meals several times each week.
■ Weight Management. For better quality of life, maintain a healthful weight-one that’s manageable and comfortable for you. Scientists suggest there may be a genetic tendency for some people to become obese, but most people just eat too much. By decreasing the calories were consume and increasing the number we burn in daily activities and exercise, weight loss can be achieved.
■ Pillow Talk. Sleep-Zzzzz-many of us say we rarely get enough. Sleep enables our bodies to rest and prepare for the next day. But research studies show that sleep deprivation can be hazardous to our health. To ensure a good night’s sleep, cut back on caffeine-containing coffees, teas and colas in the early evening.
