Diet Advertising Is Talking About Your Health

-
Lately, if you're listening to the TV ads, you might have heard more talk about improving your health.  It's amazing to me that after years of pushing their prepared meals, that now all of a sudden, the ads want you to lose weight to improve your health.

Okay, I understand, and I have to defend the advertising because, for decades, the main reasons for losing weight were to look better which will help you at work and in your social life, but I always write about losing weight to feel better physically, and emotionally. Today, advertising is changing because being overweight has become acceptable. Most people have given up on looking better and feeling better and now they just want to get through the next day. So the diet programs trying to sell you something are going in a different direction. Now it's about your "health. "And I say "it's about time."

Feeling better physically is all about becoming healthier and when you accomplish that you feel better about yourself and you will start to feel the difference which increases your confidence level and all these improvements over time will improve your health and maybe reduce your need for healthcare and medications.

All of this will, in turn, save you money. Money you're spending on healthcare, medications, and on groceries. Losing body fat will take years off your body. Your body doesn't keep track of time. It does know that your body is growing when you are in your adolescent years. It knows when you stop growing or become full grown, and it knows when you reach the end of life years. We are the ones that invented the calendar and started counting years. Because you're getting up in years doesn't mean that your body is falling apart. We do that to ourselves by not taking care of our bodies.
I have a client at one time that said to me "I take care of myself. I go to the doctor regularly." That doesn't mean you're taking care of yourself, It means that because of your health, you have to see your doctor frequently. I see my doctor once a year for a checkup. I don't take medications. I'm 72 years old and thin, fit and healthy. I may die next year or maybe next month but until then I'm going to live my life thin and fit, exercising every day and eating the foods to keep me healthy.

You can lose your fat at any age. It won't take a lot of exercise. Losing fat is about what you're eating.   If you eat the right foods you will lose fat, if you eat the wrong foods you gain fat, it's really simple.

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods eaten by people living in the Mediterranean region, especially Greece. It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to
