DIET FOR LIVING A HEALTHY LIFE
Entertainment no longer requires energy expenditure. In fact,
it's usually quite the opposite. We now entertain ourselves in
the comfort of our own home while watching TV and munching on
our favorite snack. Whether it's television, computers, remote
controls, or automobiles, we are moving less and burning fewer
calories. Common activities that were once a part of our normal
routine have disappeared...activities like climbing stairs,
pushing a lawn mower or walking ...

By now, almost everyone has heard of the Atkins diet. This is
the diet that promotes weight loss through the consumption of
foods low in carbohydrates and quite high in fat and protein
contents, but not necessarily low in calories.
It was the brain-child of Dr. R. C. Atkins who claimed that it
would initiate a greater weight loss than a conventional, low
calorie diet composed of a "balance" of carbohydrates, fats, and
proteins. In addition, it was supposed to be friendly to those
prone to ...

Lately it would seem that fats and carbohydrates have both
gotten a bad rap. First it was fat that was the culprit in all
dietary ills, and low fat diets were all the rage. Then the two
switched places, with carbohydrates being the bad guys and fat
reigning supreme.
As with most extremes, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
There is no such thing as a bad food, only bad dietary choices.
While some foods are naturally better for you than others, there
is no reason that all foods cannot be ...

It is hard to beat fish and seafood for high protein and low
fat. Fish has been shown in study after study to have a positive
impact on health, and to lower the risk of heart disease and
other diseases. In addition, fish is delicious and easy to
prepare.
Many nutrition experts recommend eating fish at least once or
twice every week. The most nutritious varieties of fish, and
those that contain the greatest amounts of heart protecting
omega-3 fatty acids, tend to be those that live in cold ...
