Health and Wellness - How to Reduce Salt In Your Diet

Virtually everyone is eating too much sodium at the moment. The Average American consumes twice the amount of sodium per day than the body needs, around 4,000mg. According to the American Medical Association some 150,00 lives could be saved if people cut back on Sodium.

The problem is that salt is a hidden ingredient of many foods for preservation purposes,especially Frozen food and cans, so that when you are eating a so called healthy frozen dinner it might contain more than 2,300 mg which is your daily allowance. you must take care to read the ingredient labels when you are choosing your groceries.

One popular method of controlling sodium intake is to pick foods with less than five ingredient. then look at sodium content per serving. always ember to check the number of serving per package so than if you consume for example a can of soup meant for three persons with 500mg of sodium per serving you will eat 1,500 mg

Cookies and Crackers can contain high levels of sodium, so it is best to repackage them into smaller packages so that you do not eat too much. Practice cooking food without adding salt and do not have salt shakers on the table, so that your family will get out of the habit of adding additional salt. you can also use salt substitutes or salt free flavoring to keep food interesting and improve your health at the same time.

Vitamin D and Calcium

We have probably heard a thousand times that calcium builds strong bones. If you're like me, your mother probably told you to drink your milk. The reason: because you need it to build strong bones. Whether you believe it or not that was, more than likely, the ulterior motive behind getting you to drink your milk.

I always drank my milk, and continue to do so, no matter what the motive because I know how important vitamins and minerals are to staying healthy. That's why, even to this day, I take daily vitamin supplements to make sure I get the necessary vitamins and minerals that will keep me on a healthier course as I continue to age. Included in those supplements are, of course, vitamin d and calcium, two bone building and strengthening nutrients.

As a mater of fact, a recent study says that "taking both calcium and vitamin D supplements on a daily basis reduces the risk of bone fractures, regardless of whether a person is young or old, male or female, or has had fractures in the past, a large study of nearly 70,000 patients from throughout the United States and Europe has found."[1]

Aging has a way of affecting the bones in our body, which leads to what is called bone density loss. Bones, a "living tissue like other tissues and organs"[2], are subject to calcium depletion during the aging process. The depletion of calcium leads to lower bone mass, which in turn, leads to increased susceptibility of fractures.

"Normal calcium intake and exposure to Vitamin D often create healthy bone tissue until people peak at age 30. Then, people begin to lose bone density; by age 50, it can become problematic. Osteoporosis - a term used to describe the loss of normal bone matrix - is common and is estimated to afflict approximately 40 million Americans."[2]

Many people think that calcium and vitamin d are only needed for aging women. However, according to the study, the "combination of supplements (vitamin d and calcium) benefits both women and men of all ages, which is not something we (the scientists) fully expected to find."[1]

As you can see, aging is the great equalizer. Aging does not happen to women only; it happens to both men and women! Loss of bone mass, due to the aging process does not happen to women only; it happens to men also. Even though a greater percentage of women are affected by the loss of bone density, men and women alike need to monitor their bone density. In so doing, it's also smart to adhere to a daily supplement of vitamin d and calcium.

Everyone of us is getting older, and everyone's body ages differently. However, as the study revealed, there is a "growing consensus that combined calcium and vitamin D is more effective than vitamin D alone in reducing a variety of fractures."[1]

TriVita™ provides a great vitamin d and calcium supplement, called VitaCal-Mag D. VitaCal-Mag D provides, five forms of chelated calcium, over 20 bone-fortifying vitamins and minerals, 100% RDI of Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc and Vitamin D, and Chlorophyll-coated tablets that protect valuable nutrients, time-releasing optimal absorption.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - weight loss

Losing weight is something that many of us focus on at this time of year as the weather gets warmer. Thoughts turn to how to look good on the beach and when we’re wearing light summer clothing but we all want to lose weight easily so here are 5 quick tips to help you drop the pounds.

1. Set Goals. This is a great way to motivate yourself into losing weight. Don’t set targets which are too high or they will have the opposite effect but do make them challenging. Aim to lose 2 or 3 pounds a week and you will see much better long term results than trying to set a target of 7 or 8 pounds.

2. Increase your fibre intake. Fibre not only helps cleanse your digestive tract, which will help you lose a few pounds, but it also makes you feel fuller with less intake. This is because it clears the stomach more slowly. Foods which are high in fibre are also usually low in calories and fat.

3. Cut the calories. To lose one pound in weight you need to either consume 3,500 fewer calories or burn off the same amount. There are a number of simple ways to consume fewer calories without noticing the difference. Try these:
Choose steamed rice instead of fried rice (saving 100 calories)
Eat open faced sandwiches with just one slice of bread (saving 70 calories)
Drink black coffee (saving 35 calories)
Have a smoothie instead of milkshake (saving 50 calories)
Eat wafers instead of choc-chip biscuits (saving 75 calories)

4. Eat more often. Now I know that sounds counter intuitive but it really works well. The idea is that you eat little and often rather than having larger meals. This convinces your body that there is no need to store fat because there’s a plentiful supply of food. It also helps keep your blood sugar levels up and reduces the cravings for comfort foods which are full of refined sugars and fats.

5. Exercise. Remember back in point 3 how the options are to consume fewer calories or alternatively burn them off? The truth is that it’s often much easier to burn off the excess calories than to restrict your intake especially if you’re a real foodie! But don’t go thinking you need to spend hours at the gym. Yes, that will get the pounds off faster but you can also increase the number of calories by a few simple changes to your lifestyle. Walk to the shops if they are within a mile, take the stairs instead of the lift or get off the bus one or two stops earlier.
