10
Tips for Healthy, White Teeth
4.
Eat 'detergent' foods.
Foods that are firm or crisp help
clean teeth as they're eaten. We already mentioned apples (otherwise known as
nature's toothbrush); other choices include raw carrots, celery, and popcorn.
For best results, make 'detergent' foods the final food you eat in your meal if
you know you won't be able to brush your teeth right after eating.
How
to Lose Weight Without Really Trying
BY
KRISTA STRYKER
There's
no doubt about it: dieting sucks. Not only because you feel hungry all the time
and deprive yourself of your favorite foods—dieting's also unsustainable in the
long-term.
No
matter how much weight you want to lose, a better approach is to make healthy
eating part of your overall lifestyle, rather than a temporary punishment. Do
this, and watch as the weight drops off naturally, without ever going on a
diet.
Here
are 5 tips to lose weight without trying:
1.
Fill up on veggies at every meal.
It’s all in your head. Either that,
or you've just never had them cooked right. Canned, over-sauced veggies aren't
on anyone's list of delicious foods. But fresh, just ripened, seasonal veggies?
I’d (almost) choose them over fresh fruit, they’re so good.
And there are so many awesome ones
to choose from: Brussels sprouts, carrots, red peppers, cauliflower, broccoli,
kale… the list goes on.
Once you find a few you like, start
incorporating them at every meal (or at least two out of three). Toss them in a
salad, steam them, or bake them, then aim to vegetables about two thirds of
your plate.
Because when you fill up on
veggies, you're less likely you'll overeat on other, unhealthier foods—making
it easier to lose weight and keep it off.
A
Healthy Menu For
Saturday
& Sunday
SATURDAY
WIN recommends people eat slowly to
allow the brain time to signal fullness. A two-egg vegetable omelet with 1
slice low-fat cheese and 1/2 cup of leftover vegetables, 1 slice of whole-wheat
toast with 1 tsp. of margarine and 1 cup of fresh mixed fruit is a leisurely
Saturday breakfast. A ham and cheese panini sandwich-- made with 2 oz. of lean
ham and 1 slice of low-fat Swiss cheese on 2 slices of hearty whole grain
bread--with 1 cup of fresh blueberries makes a savory lunch. Ten vanilla wafer
cookies and a cup of hot tea with lemon is a sweet afternoon snack. Dieters can
mix together 10 broiled shrimp with 1/2 cup whole wheat linguine, 1/2 cup
marinara sauce and 1 cup of cauliflower and broccoli, and serve with a 1 oz.
piece of Italian bread for a low-fat delicious dinner. A 1/2 cup of light ice
cream is a treat to end the day.
SUNDAY
Colorful fruits and vegetables are
packed with nutrients, says the American Academy of Family Physicians,
especially dark green and orange vegetables. Three 4-inch whole-wheat blueberry
pancakes with 2 tbsp. light pancake syrup and 3 slices of turkey bacon is a
colorful breakfast. Two cups of vegetable soup with 8 saltine crackers and a
romaine lettuce salad with low-fat dressing makes for a nutrient-rich lunch. A
medium orange with 7 walnuts is a snack high in vitamin C and omega-3 fatty
acids. A 5 oz. pork chop with a medium baked sweet potato and 1 cup cooked
spinach is a dinner rich in beta-carotene and iron. A 1/2 cup of low-fat
cottage cheese and a small peach will make a nice evening snack.
