Healthy Moola

How many people really rely on some sort of diet pill or another? I am just wondering because there seems to be a lot of diet pills on the market. I think some poeple are looking for a quick fix for their weight problem. I suppose my next question will be if you use diet pills, why do you use them? Do they really work or do they only work because you believe them to be?

A lot of people buy those rice quakes, some plain some with flavoring. I hate them, I don’t know how people enjoy those things. Some say it helps with food cravings when you want chips or something. Many chip companies offer baked chips as opposed to fried. Why not eat them instead?

If you follow serving size then you should have no problems. Dieting is not about denying yourself the foods you want but dieting is about portion size and exercise. Where will you be if you crave chips and crave them some more and then give into your monster craving, devouring an entire bag of chips? No where, why not have the chips but make better choices about the foods you buy and practise restraint when eating the goodies.

I work in the food section and several customers asked my advice about certain foods. I am not expert but I do know stuff because I do spend a lot of time reading about healthy foods and things that are good for you. One lady said she was sick of Tuna and I told her to try salmon and it it is good for you anyway. Another lady wanted 100% cranberry juice and asked which would be better for relieving kidney pain diet cranberry juice or 100%. I told her the 100% is better than the lite version because those calories are fruit calories which I don’t see being harmful since everyone wants Americans to eat more fruit anyway.

So here is more I stuff I look up on the web because I think it is interesting and maybe so will you. TodaY I found some foods that fight over 40 fat but I am sure there are good for you no matter how old you are.

Cinnamon, less calories than sugar and you can lose 2-3 pounds by switching to cinnamon plus it is good for the heart

High fiber granola bars- I like granola bars and by now most of us know fiber helps us lose weight because it is a filling item. These come in so many varieties now you won’t know you are eating something high in fiber

Hot Sauce- hooray hot sauce is good for you as it lowers insulin (the hormone for fat storage) by 32% and not only that you won’t eat as much. Pass the tobbasco

Salmon- love this pink fish and hearty than most others this is a fish good for you no matter your age try it grilled!

Walnuts- again another delicious treat, these do haev a higher fat content but eat the serving size and you are good to go.

Lemon with water- a tasty alternative to plain water. Soda may be a culprit for loss of bone density

Ground flaxseed- I know nothing about this except we sell cereal at the store with the stuff in it. I don’t see anyone buying it.

Now we all know something!

Mesothelioma is cancer and is caused by long time exposure to absbestos. Many times, mesothelioma forms around the lungs but can form in any of the major organs. Perhaps back when you were working, no one knew the dangers of absestos and now you have this disease. There are options to help pay for the medical costs and the options require a Mesothelioma lawyer. There are many lawyers around to assist you, just look for one in your area and make an appointment.

I see the all the time on various health shows that eating certain foods can help prevent cancer. Of course you can eat the right things and still get cancer. Cancer is one of those things as whole diseases that we still don’t know too much about. While looking through the latest news on AOL, I came across a little article about a salad you can make that can help prevent cancer.

Start with dark leafy green vegetables. Personally, I hate iceburg lettuce but I like the Romain it has a better flavor anyway and it is better for you. Add to it shredded carrot and tomatos, heap on the beans. Do you know there are several types of beans try different beans out and see what you like, add salmon and top off with vingarette and olive oil.

Next time you are at a salad bar why not mix around the basic ingredients and come up with something tasty!

Do you know how blackheads are formed? Many people know that one cause of acne is clogged up pores. In short blackheads are a larger than normal opening in the skin they are filled with dead skin cells and sebum which go under a chemical reaction causing the melatonin to change hence the name blackheads. You can treat blackheads the same as other acne by using various treatments on the market.

I have an interest in the gentic disorders. It is a field that there is always something new happening. I had a friend in high school who had cystic fibrosis, a gentic disorder and it my interest started with her. I was thinking of a story about siblings that were seperated because their parents gave them up and I had to think of reason why a court would open closed adoption records for one sibling to find another. A genetic disorder but which one I needed something that was genetic but would not be diagnosed until later in life. I did some searching and found Hemacromotosis a blood disorder where a person has to much iron in the blood. If interested you can read the story, Spaghetti by the Neon Light.

Iron is something that body can not expel and it builds up espcially in the liver. This is a genetic disorder for people of Irish or British decent. And some signs that you should get tested if a parent or sibling has joint disease, severe fatigue, heart disease, elevated liver enzymes, impotence and diabetes. In the story that mother has diabetes. Here are some symptoms that you may have hemochromotosis liver cirrhosis, a feeling that you are not right and something is wrong ( malaise), insulin resistance, erectile dysfunction, conjestive heart failure, arthritis of the hands, shoulder and knees.

Once diagnosed the doctor can do oragn therapy, you can refrain from alcohol and vitamin c, red meat and shell fish. Once you are stable they will take blood to rid the excess iron.

There is nothing like Caribbean cruises to refocus your life and recharge your mental state. I think any vaction can do this because you can enjoy your surroundings. It has to be real vacation where you go somewhere but not visit family. Family can be stressful sometimes.

Saving money and spending money on a good vacation to the Carribbean or somewhere else really does wonders for your mental state. A vacation is worth a splurge.
