Any doctor worth their salt will tell you diets don't work. Plain and simple. Surprised?Well you might be. You can't get away from all the talk about
South Beach, Atkins, Low Carb, Zone ... you name it, they're
talking about it.
It's on TV, in magazines... everywhere you look.And of course there are the pills, drugs and other expensive methods to lose weight. While they may be appropriate in certain cases, by and large they aren't necessary. Some can actually be dangerous to your health.What does work, what's been proven to work time and time again is something very simple... a lifestyle change.
You may not want to hear it, but it's true.You can't eat thousands of calories, rich desserts, sugary snacks, excess fat and tons of carbs, get little or no activity and expect to lose weight with a pill!You'll be surprised to know that you don't need to stop eating or have to exercise for hours every day to lose weight. Just a
few simple lifestyle changes added daily can turn your life around quickly. You will start to lose weight within days and feel better as well.Here are 4 tips you can use to get started today:Drink water.Drinking lots of water is probably the single most important
thing you can do for your health. Water delivers nutrients throughout your body, flushes toxins out of your system and aids in digestion. When you get up in the morning, start with a full glass of water before you start your day (add a little lemon if you like).
Then get at least 10-12 additional glasses of water in throughout the day.Eat slowly.Chew your food 10-12 times before swallowing. Your saliva starts the digestion process, and if you don't chew enough, your stomach has to work twice as hard and many times you don't get much out of the foods you eat -- except maybe some indigestion
:) . Split your entree.When eating out, split your entree with your dining companion. Most restaurants now serve portions that are up to 8 times the recommended serving size. Supplement with a salad, soup or vegetable to complete your meal.Avoid sodas.Did you know that an average soda has 14 teaspoons of sugar? Not only are these empty calories and carbs that take you on a blood sugar roller coaster and adds pounds, the sugar also can also cripple your immune system for up to 5 hours leaving your body working overtime and open to infections, viruses and the effects of stress.
Drinking one soda a day alone can pack on 16 lbs of unwanted weight! Skip that soda and watch the weight go away. Additionally, recent studies have linked increased soda consumption with certain cancers and a loss of essential minerals like calcium from our bodies.You CAN do it!.

Retirement: Living or Just Existing?
by Barbara Morris, R.Ph.
Are you planning to retire?
If the answer is yes, are you preparing financially? If so, that means you will have enough money to do all the fun things you look forward to doing, instead of having to think twice about the smallest purchase.
And, hopefully, you will plan so well that you will have more than enough money to pay for medical services not covered by insurance or Medicare. Unfortunately, many folks retire thinking, "I won't need as much money anymore." Wrong!
"Old age" is not free. Even if you have taken great care of yourself over the years, the older you get the more maintenance and repair you need and it can be costly.
But a happy retirement takes more than money.
There is something drastically wrong with the way we prepare for retirement. We are encouraged to plan financially, but who is advising us to have a plan to be healthy enough to enjoy the fruit of all the years of...
Color Contacts
Contact lenses are thin, curved, plastic membranes that cover the cornea of the eye for better visibility. They are generally used as substitutes for glasses to correct certain conditions like myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or presbyopia. There are also contacts that correct certain conditions of crossed eyes without surgery. They are much more comfortable than glasses since the wearer doesn't feel their presence, unless there is a problem with the lenses. There are many kinds of contact lenses: PMMA lenses, gas-permeable lenses and soft contact lenses.
Color contacts are lenses that change the color of the eye.
Wearing color contacts is a very easy and natural way to change the look of your face by trying out different colored lenses. Like regular contact lenses, there are many kinds of colored contacts available. These days, colored contacts are very natural looking and they can even be custom designed to suit the skin color of the user perfectly. There is special...

What Would You Think if I said that You could Overdose on Water?
You would probably think that I was writing a lot of old rubbish, but please stay with me, as I can assure you that it is very possible and there are many cases reported worldwide to back up my statement.A number of medical experts recommend that everyone should drink eight glasses of water per day, which is about two litres. This old chestnut has been pulled out of the fire, so many times over the years, that no one really knows where the recommendation came from in the first place, or what the benefits to your health would be, if you followed this regime.A survey that was sponsored by large companies that sell bottled water, state that everyone should consume between one and a half, to two litres per day, of Natural Mineral Water, of course, makes you think, when they paid for the survey.There is a lot of confusion about how much water should be taken daily, and when you look around, you will see numerous people carrying their water bottles of natural mineral water everywhere, probably...

The high accident rate among U.S. Hispanic Construction Workers is beginning to change thanks to the actions of Maria Isabel O'Connell, of SAFETRAN, LLC.
