Linda Spangle, RN, MA, is a weight-loss coach specializing in emotional eating, and the author of 100 Days of Weight Loss , a book of daily lessons that helps people stay committed to their diet and exercise plans. Guest Blogger Linda Spangle:1. Say it with flowersAsk your lover to surround you with flowers instead of chocolate. If you're not in a relationship right now, buy flowers for yourself. Instead of expensive roses, go for happy-looking flowers such as daisies and carnations. Appreciate how the beauty of flowers adds to your life but not your waistline.2. Use the "two-bite" principleYou may not realize it but the first two bites of any food have the most flavor. If you keep eating after that, you are just “feeding.” Of course, if you are physically hungry, eating more of the food serves a purpose. But if you are eating to appreciate the flavor, no matter how much you eat, the taste won't become any more wonderful than those first two bites. So if you d...

Fish Oil Helps Burn Your Stored Fat
2008-02-09 12:31:00
Best Selling author, Brenda Watson ND, CNC, recently published The Fiber35 Diet: Nature's Weight Loss Secret.  Brenda lets us in on another weight loss secret she employs.Brenda Watson:By now, almost everyone’s heard the pitch for fish. Fish oil helps support heart and brain health. And yet, even though fish oil is a key player in fostering good health, Americans rarely include this necessary fat in their diets. Instead, most Americans consume fats found in vegetable oils, and these Omega -6 fats cause the body to release chemicals that promote inflammation. In contrast (and neglected in a world of fast and processed food), the Omega-3 fats in fish oil have been shown to reduce inflammation, keep mental processes sharp, and support a healthy cardiovascular system.Important Health Support Since World War II, our intake of Omega-6 fats has doubled while intake of Omega-3 fats has shrunk. Diets rich in Omega-6s may partly explain the increase in diabetes, heart disease and h...

Susan G. Komen Foundation Asks For Signatures
2008-02-08 12:48:00
Pink-ribboned activism comes to the Presidential campaign.  We're challenging the candidates to explain how they'll address three critical goals: more funding for research, access to screening for all Americans, and access to quality treatment regardless of income or ethnicity.Our new voter survey showed that more than 90 percent of voters want the federal government to pay more attention to breast cancer. Among other findings:6 in 10 voters are willing to raise taxes to ensure all women have access to quality breast cancer screening and treatment. 70 percent of voters said income level impacts quality of care and half think ethnicity affects quality of care – a view supported by Komen's research. Half of voters feel candidates are not spending enough time on healthcare issues, a top priority for both men and women surveyed. And only 12 percent are aware of their preferred presidential candidate's position on issues relating to breast cancer!With so many voters agreei...

Food Won't Take Away The Pain
2008-02-06 20:21:00
Linda Spangle, RN, MA, is a weight-loss coach specializing in emotional eating, and the author of 100 Days of Weight Loss , a book of daily lessons that helps people stay committed to their diet and exercise plans. Guest Blogger Linda Spangle--Emotions, Food and Kicking My KettlesLots of things make me want to eat. Stress, disappointment, a bad day. In fact, sometimes LIFE makes me want to eat. But nothing sends me toward food faster than pain. I think it started when I skinned my knee as a kid and my mother said, “Here’s a cookie. Now you’ll feel better.” In my work as a weight-loss coach, I teach others how to identify emotions and be willing to feel and express them. But sometimes, I have trouble following my own advice. This past holiday season was really hard for me. I missed my parents who both died in recent years. Family members were far away and our friends were busy or out of town. Because of a blizzard on Christmas Day, my husband and I decided...

Being a connoisseur of fine foods, wines, tobacco and most of all, teas, Ukra began to purchase rare teas at auctions and meet with fellow enthusiasts during his world travels.

Jessica Seinfeld Is Deceptively Delicious!
2008-01-31 11:32:00
When my son was a toddler, he ate everything, even wood! I was constantly alert for anything other than food entering his mouth. As I prepared meals in the kitchen, he would sit in his highchair and taste-test my culinary creations. Time passed and David entered school. Peer pressure regarding dietary habits hit back at my efforts to feed my family healthy meals, and I was forced to resort to creative cooking--hiding the vegetables, fruits, and whole grains in common everyday dishes.  Recently, I reviewed Deceptively Delicious , by Jessica Seinfeld , wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld. The author has been plagued with the same complaints all mothers have--"One won't eat! The other is picky! They say it's disgusting!" Dinner hour, an unpleasant way to wrap up the day, is one of the largest obstacles mothers face. Rather than resorting to takeout Chinese or chicken nuggets from the freezer, Jessica has become an expert at hiding vegetables and fruits in family favorites, m...

Do You Smoke To Diet?

Being on a diet is more than cutting out sugar, pasta, and white rice.  And it's about more than just exercising fastidiously.  You On a Diet , the serious series about being you, is a successful representation of scientific wellness.  Written by the Real Age doctors Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen, they confront dieting and its dilemmas.So many smokers are afraid to give up the habit they say, because it keeps their weight down.  Sounds hazy, but is there some truth to this?  The doctors weigh in, "When many people quit smoking, they'll complain about the weight they've gained after quitting.  There's something to that.  While cigarettes are bullets to your lungs, they do seem to help people control weight--possibly, in part, through the destruction of taste buds.  But they also seem to help by increasing metabolic rate by up to 10% as well as helping to reduce appetite."Researchers from the University of Florida, College ...

Should We Allow Smoking With Children In The Car?

As a newly married Michigan man, my father smoked in bed, that is until my mother banned the behavior. By the time I’d become a teenager, Dad either smoked outside or in a specified bathroom. During his last years, my father was a closet smoker. Even his grandchildren were ignorant of his habit. In the past ten years, my father and several of his cousins have all lost their lives to cancer. Cause—cigarette smoking.Approximately 45.3 million people or 20.8% of the United States population smokes—cigarettes.

"The press coverage implies that the FDA is saying bioidentical compounded hormones are unsafe. But they're quite safe, provided they are prescribed by an experienced healthcare professional and are made by a reputable compounding pharmacy. We've prescribed them for over 15 years for thousands of women."On January 9, 2008, the FDA issued a press release entitled "FDA Takes Action Against Compounded Menopause Hormone Therapy Drugs." At the same time, they issued a number of warning letters to compounding pharmacies taking issue with the use of the word "bio-identical" as a marketing term implying a benefit, where they state "there is no medical or scientific basis.&quo...
