Do vegetarians get enough protein? 

6/13/2014

Do vegetarians get enough protein? Yes
Do most non-vegetarian people get enough fibre? No. 
Most of us need to try to increase our fruit and veggie intake.
Eat more plants! Only plants contain fiber. There is no fiber in steak :-).

Withdrawal doesn't work or protect you from HIV

6/10/2013

1 Comment

 
Withdrawal is not an effective contraceptive method. You will probably get pregnant if you rely on this method. You are also at risk for infections. Condoms protect you from pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. Remember HIV is alive and well and out there. You can't tell by looking at someone that they are infected. Be safe, get tested, protect yourself! You can do an oral HIV test and get the result in 20 minutes. Ask your partner to get tested also.

What ONE thing do you want to change?

1/3/2013

0 Comments

 
All the best for the new year! Any New Year's resolutions? 
Think of one small achievable thing, that if you stuck to it, would make a big difference in your life. Try and do that one thing consistently for January. If you succeed at that, you have created a new healthy amazing habit that has changed your life for the better. Next select and try to stick to one more small important thing for February.
Trying to change a lot of things at the same time is not usually successful. A long list of New Year's resolutions may make you feel overwhelmed and you are less likely to stick to them.

Need more energy?

Need more energy?
Try going to bed an hour or two earlier.
Try regular exercise. Just 15 -30 min a day will make a big difference to how u feel. You may feel tired at first, but as your body gets fit your energy will increase.
Try taking a multivitamin daily. Most of us don't get all the vitamins and minerals our bodies need from our regular fruit and vegetable deficient diets.
Try drinking more water. A lot of the time, our feelings of fatigue are linked to us being dehydrated.
Take a 15 minute nap. A 15-20 minute nap can revive u. Any longer than that though, you won't want to get up and you'll feel sleepy. Set a timer for 20 minutes!

Make small changes

By making even small changes in your diet and activity level, you'll notice yourself feeling and looking better. But don't get discouraged if your weight loss doesn't happen overnight. A loss of one to two pounds per week is considered a healthy weight loss. And, according to the American Heart Association, people who lose weight gradually are more likely to keep it off.

Eat a wide variety of vegetables

Eat a wide variety of vegetables, including dark greens. Along with the many outstanding nutrients, the fiber in vegetables (and whole fruits) will help you feel full.
Try to eat a fruit with breakfast and salad or vegetables with lunch and dinner every day.

Just pick one thing

11/7/2012

I realize that a lot of the things we have talked about, you have probably heard them before, and I have said them before, but are you putting them into practice? They say it takes 21 days to form a habit. If you try to change too many things at once, you may not be successful. So pick one habit, just one thing that you think you can do. Can you eat more vegetables? Can you eat a fruit every day? Can you drink a glass of water before each meal? Can you walk on the spot for 15 minutes while you are watching the news? Just pick one thing and try to stick with it for 21 days. When you have got that one down, pick another thing and see if you can nail that for 21 days. You will be surprised at what you can accomplish. Slow and steady wins the race!
Love yourself, take care of your health!

You can add more activity into your day by making some small adjustments, including:
• Parking at the farthest end of the parking lot.
• Taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Going for a walk on your lunch break.
• Walking to work, school, to get groceries, etc.
• Playing with your kids and/or pet.
• Doing sit-ups, dancing, walking on the spot or jogging on a treadmill while watching TV.
Every little bit helps!
