How To Drink More Water?

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Sun, 12 Jul 2015 22:37:00 +0800

7 Ways to Boost Your Water Intake

Need to drink more water? Try these tips for boosting your water intake every day.

“I should drink more water.” It’s something I hear from clients all the time. They know their water intake isn’t up to par – but they just can’t figure out how to drink more water than they usually do. When I ask people why they don’t drink enough water, I usually hear one of two things – many tell me that they just haven’t established a regular water-drinking habit, and lots of people I talk to say that they just “don’t like water.” I probably don’t need to remind you why drinking enough water is so important… but I’m going to anyway, because it might help “drive you to drink.”

Why it’s Important to Drink Enough Water

Your body is more water than it is anything else – about 60-70% of your body weight is water. And the fluid in your body is involved in an amazing number of important tasks. You need to drink enough water so that your body can properly digest your food and deliver nutrients to your cells – and to get rid of substances that your body doesn’t want. Without enough water, controlling body temperature would be a challenge, your joints would lack lubrication and your muscles would tire more quickly, too. The bottom line is this: every cell, tissue and organ needs water in order to function properly.

7 Tips to Help you Drink More Water

If you find it hard to drink enough water every day, here are some tips that might help you.

• See it. It can be really helpful if you can actually see the amount of water you plan to drink and to track your progress over the course of the day. Put the amount of water you plan to have in a pitcher on your kitchen counter or keep it at your desk. It will serve as a reminder to drink more, and you’ll be motivated to sip on it as the day goes by – and meet your goal of finishing it.

• Cool it. Cold water often seems more refreshing than room-temperature water. Try stashing a bottle of water in your freezer, and carry it with you during the day. It will stay cold for several hours, and you might be encouraged to drink more.

• Wake up to it. “Morning mouth” is a reminder that most of us are naturally a bit dehydrated in the morning. So, keep a glass of water by your bed, and drink it first thing – before your feet even hit the floor.

• Sip it. Try sipping through a straw. Maybe it’s just more fun, maybe it’s that you take larger sips of water – I don’t know why this works, but lots of people tell me that they drink more water when they use a straw.

• Flavor it. Make your own spa water. Add a slice of fresh lemon or lime, some cucumber, a few berries, some fresh mint or a slice of fresh ginger to your water. It makes it feel special and adds a hint of refreshing flavor.

• Eat it. Treat water like an appetizer and start your meals with a glass of water. Not only will you work more water into your day, it might curb your appetite a bit, too.

• Track it. Just like keeping track of your calorie intake, keeping track of how much water you drink can help a lot, too. That’s why the pitcher-on-the-desk trick works so well – at any moment, you can see how much water you’ve had and how much you need to drink before the day is over. If you want to go high tech, there are apps for your phone that can send you drinking reminders, keep track of your progress and even give you a virtual pat on the back when you’ve met your goal.

What is Low-GI Foods?

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Thu, 4 Dec 2014 21:30:00 +0800

Why is GI important?

GI is a measure of how quickly a carbohydrate containing food causes blood sugar to rise in reference to a standard food. In other words, GI reflects the blood glucose raising ability of digestible carbohydrates in a given food. Low-GI foods contain carbohydrates that are more slowly digested and therefore produce a less pronounced rise in blood glucose levels post meal.

How To Use Food To Feel More Alert

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 21:30:00 +0800

Want to feel more alert? To keep up your mental energy and focus, you have to eat the right foods, at the right time.

The next time your mental energy is fading and you feel like you can’t string two sentences together, think back. When did you last eat? What did you have? Have you been drinking enough liquids? Skipped meals, unbalanced meals, and dehydration can all zap your mental energy and focus. (And don’t forget that getting adequate sleep and rest is part of the equation, too).

How what you eat affects your mental energy

What is mental energy, anyway? It’s actually got several features – including your overall mood, your motivation, as well as your attention and focus. When your mental engine is revved up, there’s a good chance your diet had something to do with it. So, here’s some “food for thought”.

What to eat to keep your mental energy up all day long?

Carbs fuel your brain

Glucose, derived from carbohydrates in your diet, is the only fuel that normally feeds your brain cells. After they’re broken down during the digestive process, carbohydrates enter the bloodstream as glucose (your ‘blood sugar’).

Since your brain is active 24/7, it has high energy demands – higher than any other cells in your body. And, since brain cells can’t store glucose, your brain needs a continuous supply. High-fiber foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains, take a longer time to digest, which leads to a more gradual release of glucose into your system, and to your brain.

On the other hand, a meal high in refined carbohydrates – think starchy, sugary foods – can actually backfire on you. Since these foods are digested relatively quickly, you may experience a quick rise in your blood sugar, often followed by a quick drop. This is commonly known as a sugar crash, and can make you feel mentally sluggish.

Your brain wants fuel at regular intervals

Since your brain wants a steady source of glucose, it’s important to eat at regular intervals throughout the day to keep your mental energy from taking a nosedive. Aim for small meals and healthy snacks every 3-4 hours.

Your brain wants breakfast

There’s plenty to be said about the importance of breakfast, and giving your brain a boost is just another reason to fuel up first thing in the morning. Even while you sleep, your brain keeps working through the night, burning through the fuel, such that the ‘glucose’ tank is pretty empty by morning. Do your brain a favor and start your day with a well balanced breakfast that includes both healthy carbohydrates and protein.

The best proteins for your brain

Even though your brain doesn't use protein directly for fuel, it does use amino acids, derived from the proteins that you eat, to manufacture important brain chemicals. Dopamine, a brain chemical that promotes alertness and brain activity, is derived from tyrosine, an amino acid found in poultry, fish, dairy products, nuts and beans, while serotonin, which promotes feelings of calmness and contentment, is derived from tryptophan found in seafood, poultry, dairy products and soybeans.

The best beverages for the brain

When your body is dehydrated, it can affect your mood and your energy level. Mild dehydration reduces alertness and your ability to concentrate, and by the time you feel thirsty, your mental energy has already taken a hit. Water is always a good choice, but coffee and tea in moderation are fine, too. Caffeine containing beverages may help with focus and concentration – but are advisable only in small doses. You need to hydrate properly, eat right, and monitor your own response to the caffeine you’re taking in. If it makes you jittery or keeps you up at night, you’d be wise to cut back. Using caffeine for a brain boost during the day won’t do you much good if it interferes with a good night’s sleep.

Pick a Fitness Routine That's Right For You

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Sun, 31 Aug 2014 23:12:00 +0800

Living a healthy active lifestyle is something that is great for everyone. Making good nutrition choices daily and striving to become more active in your everyday life can have a positive impact on your health and your overall body confidence.

Once you find activities that you enjoy doing, it’s easier to be consistent with your fitness routine and to improve your overall fitness level. Exercising consistently is key to getting fit. Many people believe that exercise has to be done in a gym or using specific equipment, but the truth is even walking can be an effective way to improve your fitness. In my opinion, any type of physical activity that you do consistently, enjoy and strive to do a little more today than you did yesterday, can be turned into a successful fitness routine. Whether you enjoy walking, hiking or running, here are some tips that allow you to challenge yourself and improve your fitness level.

Walking, Hiking and Running

Cardio training can lower your resting heart rate, lower your stress level and, when combined with reduced caloric intake, lead to weight loss. Walking, running and hiking can all be great ways to get a cardio workout and improve your fitness level.

WALKING

If walking is your preferred form of exercise you can make it more challenging by:

• Increasing your walk duration/distance.

• Increasing your pace and using your arms in a power walk style.

• Adding some lunges to your regular walk to help improve your leg strength.

• Increasing the frequency of your walks by adding one extra day a week.

HIKING

If you enjoy hiking, you can get more out of your hike by: Finding a hike with a challenging gradient - the steeper the hill, the harder your body has to work.

• Varying the type of trail surface you hike on, starting out on mostly flat trails and building up to sandy or rocky surfaces.

• Picking up your pace and giving trail running a try - it will increase the intensity of your hike.

RUNNING

If running is your workout of choice, you can take it to the next level by:

• Setting a time-based goal (20-30 minutes, for example) and, once you can successfully run for the entire duration, increase your time.

• Adding in some hill running or varied terrain into your program.

Keep Your Heart Healthy at Any Age

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Sun, 31 Aug 2014 22:31:00 +0800

Even if it’s not something we look forward to, aging is inevitable. As the years come and go, signs of aging appear. With time, everyone will notice a few gray hairs and wrinkles revealing their age when they look in the mirror. It should come as no surprise that for all the external signs of aging we undergo, we’re actually aging internally too. You may have already noticed creakier bones, worsening vision, and achy joints, but you may not have noticed the changes to your cardiovascular system.

One of the most important organs in the cardiovascular system is the endothelium, which lines your blood vessels and produces Nitric Oxide. As the endothelium ages, Nitric Oxide production naturally declines. This decrease is completely normal, but since healthy Nitric Oxide production maintains blood flow to your vital organs, it makes sense to do everything you can to make sure your endothelium is as healthy as possible.

The great thing about cardiovascular health is that it’s never too late to start making healthier choices – I was in my 60s when I started running marathons! By supporting the health of my endothelium and heart every day, now that I’m in my 70s I feel better than I did in my 40s. Make the commitment to your well-being by aging as healthfully as possible. While you can’t stop or reverse the aging process, you can still look and feel great as you get older.

5 easy ways to support healthy aging of the endothelium:

Eat well

A healthy diet is the cornerstone for endothelial health. Closely adhering to a diet that emphasizes healthy fats, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, herbs and spices, and whole grains supports healthy endothelial function.

Move often

Movement stimulates the endothelial cells to produce Nitric Oxide, making exercise one of the most important steps to supporting endothelial health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend 150 minutes of exercise per week. If you can move more than that, great! More movement equals more support for the endothelial cells.

Take nutritional supplements

In addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise, be sure your endothelium is getting the nutrients it needs to support healthy function. Dietary supplements like L-arginine, L-citrulline, CoQ10, krill oil, Omega-3 DHA and EPA, and garlic support healthy endothelial cells and Nitric Oxide production.

Laugh more

Laughter has been long known to have positive effects on the body and mind, and it turns out it’s good for the endothelium, too. Research presented at the Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology showed that laughter causes the endothelium to dilate, or expand, in order to increase blood flow.

Sleep well

When you’re busy, it’s tempting to scrimp on sleep. But getting plenty of sleep and rest is actually a productive activity for the body, and especially the endothelial cells. Getting the recommended eight hours of sleep per night gives your endothelial cells the chance to heal and regenerate.

Healthy aging really comes down to healthy living. Take it one day at a time, and remember that each great choice you make adds up to a lifetime of wellness and vitality.

Can Your Metabolic Rate Make You Gain Or Lose Weight?

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Mon, 4 Aug 2014 21:30:00 +0800

When patients tell me their weight problems are due to a “slow metabolism”, I think they truly believe that their bodies simply burn calories at a slower pace than other people’s bodies do. In their minds, if they only they could speed up the process, their weight problems would be solved. But what is “metabolism”, exactly? And – more importantly – is there anything you can do to change it?

Truths and myths about metabolism
In truth, your body weight and your metabolic rate are linked – but perhaps not in the way you might think. Simply stated, the term metabolism refers to all the chemical processes that your body undergoes every day in order to keep you alive. When your body converts the calories in your food into energy, or manufactures specialized chemicals that your cells need in order to do their job – those are metabolic processes. These processes your body performs every day – hundreds of them – make up your “metabolism”.

I can see how the term metabolic rate could confuse people. When you hear the word “rate”, you might think “speed” or “tempo” – so, it’s reasonable to assume that metabolic rate can only mean how fast (or slow) your body performs its work.

In reality, though, your metabolic rate (or, more accurately, your resting metabolic rate) refers to
the number of calories you burn during a 24-hour period just to keep your body’s most basic processes going – processes like pumping blood, or breathing. Of course, this isn't all the calories you burn in a day, but your resting metabolic rate accounts for a sizable chunk – about 75% of total calories you use up every

What factors influence metabolic rate?
Some people’s bodies use up more calories to perform these basic metabolic processes than others (you might think they have a “fast” metabolism). And for those who seem to require very few calories, you might think their metabolism is “slow”.

But now that you know that your metabolic rate isn't really about how quickly you burn calories – it’s really the number of calories you burn each day – you can’t technically make your body burn calories any faster.

But, let’s look at what affects your metabolic rate in the first place – it will give you a better sense for what you can and can’t do to change it.

Your body size
Larger people have higher metabolic rates than smaller people do, and this is due largely to the simple fact that they just have more cells – each of which is doing some metabolic work. That’s one reason that men usually have higher metabolic rates then women – they just tend to have bigger bodies overall.

Your body composition
A very important factor in determining your metabolic rate is your lean body mass. Imagine that your body is divided into two parts: one part is your fat, and the other part is your lean body mass (everything else that isn’t fat, like bone, fluids, organs and muscles).

This lean body mass determines your metabolic rate because every pound of lean mass you
have burns about 14 calories per day (or about 30 calories per kilogram) – while a pound of fat
only uses up about two. Muscle cells have a lot more machinery that converts calories into energy than your fat cells do, so it makes sense that as your muscle mass increases, so would your metabolic rate

Your age
As you age, there is a tendency to lose some muscle mass. Natural hormonal changes contribute to some loss of muscle mass. Furthermore, the muscle damage that results
from everyday wear and tear isn’t repaired quite as quickly as you age – and that can contribute to some muscle loss, too. With fewer muscle cells overall, you can’t help but burn fewer calories over the course of the day.

Your gender
Men have higher rates than women do for two simple reasons. They tend to be larger overall, and they tend to have more muscle mass than women do.

Cutting your calorie intake too much
It’s true that when you cut your calorie intake too much, your metabolic rate can take a dip. This makes sense if you think about it – your body is just trying to do the same metabolic work with fewer calories in order to keep you alive. But, in general, these decreases are relatively small, especially if you make modest – rather than dramatic – decreases in your calorie intake as you attempt to lose weight.

So, what can I do to boost my metabolic rate? Now that you know what factors affect your metabolic rate, what can you do about it?

• Eat enough protein.
Your body uses the protein you eat to build and repair muscle tissue. If you don’t consume enough protein in your diet, your body simply doesn't have the raw materials it needs to manufacture and repair your muscle cells.

• Build muscle mass.
This is probably one of the most important things you can do, since building muscle will increase the amount of lean body mass you have – which increases your overall resting metabolic rate. And, don’t think strength training is only for the younger set – with the right diet and proper exercise, your body is capable of building muscle at any age.

• Increase your daily activity.
Any activity burns calories, but that, in itself, doesn’t affect your metabolic rate. But, when you exercise, you are using your muscles to move your body – and that helps to preserve your lean body mass.

And, bumping up your activity can also help to offset any dips in your metabolic rate as a result of cutting your calorie day are used simply to keep your body ticking.

Top 10 Beauty Tips From Head to Toe

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 21:30:00 +0800

1. A healthy diet equals healthy skin.

There is nothing as important to healthy skin and hair as a healthy diet loaded with vitamins and nutrients. Fruits and vegetables can help boost the skin’s natural defences against sun damage and wrinkles. Start each day with an Herbalife Formula 1 Nutritious Mixed Soy Powder Drink to ensure you are getting the best nutrition possible for healthy skin and hair.

2. Take a daily multivitamin.

Your body needs total nutrition to promote healthy, younger-looking skin and a good multi-vitamin is a great source for antioxidants.

3. Apply sunscreen from head to toe.

Minimising exposure to the sun and using sunscreen are vital steps in our everyday beauty regimens. Sun damage leads to premature ageing by contributing to fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots on the skin. Daily application of a moisturiser with SPF 15 or above not only helps protect you from the damaging effects of the sun during ordinary, everyday exposure, but also helps achieve healthy, beautiful skin.

4. No smoking!

Smoking has negative effects on the entire body, including the skin. It robs skin cells of much needed oxygen, which leads to fine lines and wrinkles. Smoking can interfere with the skin’s collagen and elastin fibers - which give our skin its tone and elasticity – and can cause wrinkling and premature sagging. On top of all that, because nicotine is a diuretic, smoking dries out the skin. The bottom line: Smoking is a major no-no for the skin.

5. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.

Both caffeine and alcohol accelerate the loss of water from the body and, unfortunately, the skin in particular. Excess intake of these substances can be very dehydrating, diminishing smoothness and softness of the skin. An extreme amount of alcohol can also cause capillaries to break under the skin, resulting in red patches. When it comes to caffeine, it’s important to remember that chocolate, tea and sodas often contain the stimulant – not just coffee. Be sure to use the Herbalife SKIN Purifying Mint Clay Mask to help alleviate the effects of dehydration.

6. Get your beauty sleep!

It’s called “beauty sleep” for a reason, and eight hours a night makes a real difference. A good night’s sleep not only helps with mental clarity and energy, but also helps the body’s healing and repairing processes. During sleep, the body (including the skin) works to repair the damage it incurred throughout the day. To aid that process, apply Herbalife SKIN Replenishing Night Cream before going to bed. A good night’s sleep can help to eliminate puffy and irritated eyes, dark circles and a pale complexion.

7. Avoid fluids close to bedtime.

If you want to look your best in the morning, here is a simple tip: Stop drinking fluids at least two to three hours before going to bed. When you consume too much fluid prior to bedtime, you run the risk of waking up puffy, especially under the eyes. If this happens reach for the Herbalife SKIN Firming Eye Gel to help improve skin’s elasticity.

8. Lather, rinse, repeat!

A “bad hair day” can most definitely ruin our mood. We can be so rushed in the morning that our hair doesn’t get the full attention it needs to look healthy, shiny and beautiful. We don’t scrub the scalp enough to remove excess oils and buildup, and we don’t completely rinse shampoo and conditioner out of our hair, resulting in unmanageable locks. Rinse, rinse and rinse again to ensure that all traces of shampoo and conditioner have been washed out of the hair. If you can bear it, use cool water to seal the hair’s cuticle to give you more shine.

9. It’s not all about the face!

We devote so much attention to the face that we tend to neglect the rest of the body. Yes, the face is very important and commands most of our visual attention; but the beauty of a fabulous face can quickly be overwhelmed by other less appealing body parts. Beauty from head to toe is the best rule of thumb. Pay attention to your hands and nails, and make sure they are always moisturised to avoid a rough, scaly look. Don’t forget the elbows! Scaly elbows are screaming for moisture and can look unattractive if ignored. Moisturise your décolletage to avoid a dry, crepey appearance in the neck and chest area. Pay attention to your feet. Be sure to keep your toes and heels moisturised and free of dry, ashy skin. The Herbalife Herbal Aloe Bath and Body products are perfect for the entire body.

10, Go ahead and SMILE!

The guaranteed go-to thing in any daily beauty regimen is a great big smile. A smile lights up your entire face, making you look young, friendly and approachable. What smile isn’t beautiful? The best part is that smiles are contagious, allowing us to create a cascade of beauty as we smile throughout the day.

Why Free Radicals Are The Root Of All Diseases

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Wed, 25 Jun 2014 21:30:00 +0800

What is free radicals?

In small quantities, Free Radicals can be beneficial to our body. They protect white blood cells from being attacked by invading bacteria, mould, viruses and foreign bodies. However, when free radicals are in excess, they become harmful and destroy body cells and tissues. The harmful free radicals multiply under the influence of smoking, stress or explore to contaminated materials, strong sunlight and radiation. They also react with fat to produce liqid-peroxides that stick to the wall of blood vessels, causing blockages. When cell membranes are damaged, the functions transmitters are affected. Free radicals can also cause pathological changes when they attack your DNA.

Over time, bodily functions decline. Ageing as well as 90% of illnesses are caused by free radicals while death is caused mainly by lipid peroxides.

Herbalife Global Nutrition Philosophy

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Sat, 3 May 2014 22:00:00 +0800

At Herbalife, we believe so strongly in Balanced Nutrition that we’ve developed our Herbalife Global Nutrition Philosophy. Balanced Nutrition means getting the right amounts of key nutrients: Up to 30% of our daily calories from healthy fats, 40% from carbohydrates and 30% from proteins. When it comes to fats, it is important to eat less saturated fats and more Omega-3 fatty acids. And we can’t forget to consume 25 grams of fibre each day.

"At Herbalife, we believe that balanced and personalised nutrition supports a healthy, active life. Eating the right foods, combined with supplements, and exercising regularly are key."

GLOBAL NUTRITION OVERVIEW

Today, there are more overweight or obese people in the world than ever before. Although in the previous 50,000 years, humans obtained a survival benefit from storing fat, changes in the human diet and lifestyle in the past 200 years have resulted in millions of people around the world suffering from obesity.

Studies show that hunter-gatherers used to eat about 800 different varieties of plants. But today, the average intake is only about three servings of fruits and vegetables per day, which doesn’t provide enough of the antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals that are essential for good health.

In addition, highly processed foods with refined starches, sugars, fats, salts and oils provide many calories per bite, but they often don’t contain the essential nutrients that are found in foods, such as fruits and vegetables.

At the same time, a highly sedentary lifestyle over the last 30 years has resulted in a global epidemic of obesity and chronic health issues. People urgently need solutions that emphasis a balanced diet and a healthy, active life.

HERBALIFE PRODUCTS

Herbalife’s Global Nutrition Philosophy includes foods, supplements and regular physical activity to support a healthy, active life. From Formula 1 Nutritious Mixed Soy Powder Drink and Herbalife24™ to Herbalife SKIN™ lines, Herbalife products provide targeted nutrition to support a variety of personalized goals, such as achieving your ideal body composition, heart health, sports and fitness and healthy aging.

How To Look Your Best At Every Age

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Sat, 3 May 2014 21:30:00 +0800

Do you know about ageless beauty?

Skin changes as the years go by – and your skin care routine should change with it! Here are some tips to help you look your best at every age. Let’s face the music: aging is inevitable, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. You can practice healthy skin care habits that will keep you looking your best no matter what your age. The skin is a remarkable organ that has the ability to regenerate itself. New cells are constantly forming, but cells regenerate at a slower pace as we get older. Because of this, you may notice that your skin becomes thinner as the years go by, and more age spots start appearing.

These are actually areas of hyper pigmentation caused by UV rays – another reason why it’s so critical to wear sunscreen at every age! Our skin also loses some of its natural elasticity as the years go by, leading to sagging and wrinkles.

Compounding the problem is the loss of lipids (fatty acids) over time, which are responsible for keeping skin moisturized. We have to face it: our skin care needs are going to change as we age. What worked for you in your 20s is not going to be as effective after a decade or two! On the other hand, we’re so inundated with “anti-aging” products that it’s easy to get ahead of ourselves when it comes to developing an effective skin care routine. Whether you’re 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, or beyond, it’s important to choose a regime and products that are appropriate for your age and skin type. Here’s some of my favorite beauty advice for beautiful skin at every age:

Skincare In Your 20s

If you haven’t already started a beauty regimen, now’s the time! Developing a good skin care routine early on will help you look your best for years. Even as you come out of your teenage years, your skin will continue to adjust throughout your 20s, so take some time to figure out what your skin type is and choose your beauty regimen accordingly.

Simple lifestyle changes can help too. Late nights out and too much time in the sun can affect the appearance of your skin. Start wearing sunscreen daily to help your skin remain elastic and supple, and while it’s tempting to stay out late socializing, try to limit your late nights so you can look your best during the day.

Skincare In Your 30s

This is when you may start noticing the signs of aging. Your skin starts to lose collagen and elastin and fine lines may start appearing. You may need to change your beauty regimen to include more moisturizing products.

It’s common to start seeing signs of aging around your eyes, too. This is when you should start focusing on the skin around your eyes. A quick tip to avoid encroaching laughter lines is to wear big sunglasses.

Choosing shades with UVA and UVB protection will help to keep more of your face covered and protected from the sun. Shades also help to reduce the likelihood of squinting, which, over time, can lead to the development of wrinkles around your eyes. (By the way, isn’t ‘laughter lines’ a much nicer phrase than ‘crow’s feet’?)

Skincare In Your 40s

In your 40s, uneven skin tone is one of the most common complaints women have. This can be caused by too many hours in the sun with resulting age spots (so keep up your sunscreen routine!). Other hormonal changes during this decade and the possible onset of menopause could leave you wondering where your youthful skin went.

At this time, it’s best to visit your dermatologist for suggestions and possible treatments for your changing skin that will help you look and feel your best.

Many women in their forties feel confident that they have their skincare regime nailed down so it’s a pain to realize that you may have to adapt and evolve. Happily enough, small changes do add up so you may need only a few tweaks to regain control of your skin.

Skincare In Your 50s And Beyond

By the time you hit your 50s, skin is losing its elasticity and you may start to see sagging. A crucial element at this age is moisturizing. Though you can’t turn back the clock, you can keep your skin (and yourself) hydrated!

It’s also worth reviewing your cosmetics. If you've been wearing the same makeup look for a few decades, consider freshening up your style. Many women complain that their eyes appear smaller, so think carefully about your eye makeup. While mascara is a brilliant tool, you may want to switch from a hard black to a softer brown to emphasize your eyes in a more nuanced manner. Don’t forget my love of eyelash curlers too – they can turn a beauty bad day around!

We can’t stop aging, but we can age gracefully and beautifully. If the fountain of youth existed, it would probably have something to do with attitude. If you feel beautiful, confidence will show in your appearance – no matter what your age!

Be Happier: 4 Reason To Get Active!

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 22:00:00 +0800

There are hundreds of reasons why being active is beneficial. Exercise is good for your body, your mind and for your social life.Here are four reasons I believe will inspire you to get up and get healthy. Once you’ve read through, I know you’ll join me and become a happier, healthier you.

Reduced Stress:

Most of our lives are filled with stress - lack of time, financial struggles, difficult work deadlines, simply trying to herd your children to school, etc. Stress can lead to weight gain and make losing weight more difficult, so finding time for activity has never been so important. Stress also often causes over-eating, which can lead to weight gain. This, in turn, increases your stress, and the cycle repeats itself.

Even I have succumbed to stress and hidden out in my pantry (where I keep the cookies!) during times of high pressure. Knowing that this wasn’t the best reaction, I took time out and realised that I needed to do something that would help me cope with the stresses of my life. I found that adding an activity to my day allowed me to re-group and focus on myself and this helped me to reduce anxiety and stress.

Feel More Productive In Work And Life:

I always used to think that in school we had recess to give the teacher five minutes of peace but the real reason is much more interesting. Studies have found that after activity our brains are more active and this makes it easier for us to learn and retain information. (I’ve tested this philosophy on my own children and it definitely works for them.)

You may not be in school any more, but taking a brief recess for activity, especially when you feel drained, may improve your focus and make you more productive. Feeling that you’re more productive is a great way to beat stress!

A Positive Lifestyle Attracts Positive People:

When you make a conscious effort to improve yourself through becoming more active, your confidence also gets a boost. Even better, your new positive approach can convince those around you to also make a positive change. This is especially true if you decide to take a class or join a fit club. Who knew that by improving yourself you¹d have the potential to improve others too?

Increase Your Happiness:

Who doesn’t want to be happier? Being active promotes the release of endorphins in your body similar to those that are released when we eat foods such as chocolate. I’d much rather get my happy endorphins from activity because it's long lasting.

What goes up must come down and if you constantly spike your blood sugar in this way, you¹ll find it hard to balance your mood. Instead, try involving yourself in a healthy activity. You’ll have more energy, your mood will be stable, and this will make you happier!

Activity really is good for everyone! Think of these four life-changing benefits of exercise as routes to happiness. Less stress makes you happier, being alert and more productive makes you happier and happy people attract other positive, happy people.

Happily, I think that promoting an active lifestyle will eventually make the world happier, healthier.

Let get start to stay active today!

What to Eat After Your Workout?

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Sat, 29 Mar 2014 21:30:00 +0800

What you eat and drink after your workout – and when – can have a big impact on your next performance.

What do you eat first after a workout? Most athletes pay fairly good attention to what they eat before exercising, but afterwards – for some – it’s almost as if ‘anything goes”.

Eating the right foods and beverages after exercise does more than just replenish your draining fuel supply – it helps your body get ready for your next round of activity too. If you work out hard regularly, what you eat, and when, can make a big difference in your overall performance.

Keep in mind that refueling is geared primarily to those doing extended and strenuous bouts of exercise. If your usual activity is a daily walk or brief swim, your regular meals and snacks should take care of your nutritional needs as long as your diet is healthy and well-balanced – but always stay on top of your fluid intake.

What To Eat And Drink After Exercise

Replenish Fluids And Salts

When you exercise, sweating causes you to lose important body salts – like sodium and potassium – that need to be replaced. Many advanced athletes get in the habit of weighing themselves before and after exercise, in order to figure out how much fluid needs to be replaced. For each kilogram of weight lost during activity, you should drink about 1 liter of liquid.

What to Drink

Water is fine as a fluid re-placer, since you’ll be eating afterwards – which means you’ll pick up carbohydrate, sodium (and likely some potassium) from your foods. For those who don’t normally drink high-calorie liquids, this is the one time they might drink fruit juices, since they provide fluid, carbohydrate and, depending on the fruit, potassium too. Sports drinks are great since they provide not only fluid and carbs, but the right balance of salts that have been lost through perspiration, too. And they usually have a mildly light, sweet taste that often encourages you to drink more.

Your Body Needs Carbohydrates

After an intense workout, your body has burned through a lot of carbohydrate – the primary fuel that keeps your muscles working – and it’s important to refuel as soon as you can. The recommended amount is about 1.4 grams of carbohydrate per kilogram of body weight. That’s about 100 grams of carbohydrate for someone weighing 75 kg. Healthy carbohydrates – fruits, whole grains and the natural carbs in dairy products – are a good place to start with post-workout snacking.

Your Body Needs Protein

A bit of protein is important in recovery too, since it helps to stimulate muscle repair and growth after strenuous exercise. In most cases, about 10 grams of protein will suffice. The ideal post-exercise meal or snack contains a combination of healthy carbs and protein, which is why athletes often turn to foods like a sandwich on whole grain bread, a dish of yogurt and fruit, a protein shake made with milk and fruit, or specially formulated recovery beverages.

Meal Timing Matters Too

When you exercise, your muscles become very sensitive to the nutrients that are available – and that sensitivity lasts for a limited amount of time. That’s why many athletes who want to optimize muscle recovery pay attention to this “metabolic window” – the time period of about 30-45 minutes after exercise during which you should try to eat your carbs and protein. During this critical time after you exercise, your muscle cells are more sensitive to the effects of insulin, a hormone that helps transport amino acids (from protein) into your cells. Insulin also works to drive carbohydrate into the cells, where it is stored in the form of glycogen. This stockpile of carbohydrate can then be used to provide energy to working muscles during the next bout of activity. And, once you kick this fuel storage process into gear, you can keep it going for up to eight hours if you continue to provide your body with a shot of carbohydrate every two hours.

10 Secrets To Successful Weight Loss

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Fri, 28 Feb 2014 22:00:00 +0800

Weight loss and weight maintenance are like two sides of the same coin. In reality, the habits that help you drop pounds are the same ones that will help you maintain your weight loss. After all, losing weight isn't really considered a success unless you manage to keep it off.

Here are the top 10 strategies of successful 'losers':

1. They get to know themselves really well.

One key to success is learning how to manage your own high risk situations - such as eating when you're stressed or cleaning your plate out of habit rather than hunger. Successful losers are adaptable and plan ahead - they know what situations might get them into trouble and have a backup plan for dealing with them.

2. They get lot of exercise.

On average the National Weight Control Registry enrollees burn about 2000 calories per week through exercise. That's a lot - they get about 60-90 minutes of moderate to high intensity exercise daily. The most popular exercise is walking, and they average 5-6 miles a day.

3. They set goals and monitor their behavior.

Setting goals - ones you measure, like how many minutes you will walk, how many calories you will take in, or how many sit ups you will do - are helpful because you can track whether or not you meet these goals. Successful losers keep track of how much exercise they get, and they keep food journals - sometimes using a food log to plan meals ahead of time. These self-monitoring strategies are critical and provide much-needed feedback on behavior changes.

4. They have regular meal patterns and frequency.

Many people get in trouble with their weight because their eating patterns are so disorganized. Successful losers report that eating at regular intervals and snacking only when they hungry are keys to success. Skipping meals usually backfires. and having routine meal times means that you don't go long stretches without food - which often leads to excessive snacking or larger meals later on.

5. They eat a low fat, nutrient dense diet.

No surprises here, but a high quality diet - one with plenty of protein, fruits, vegetables and whole grains - is what keeps people satisfied. The fruits, veggies and whole grains are bulky and filling, but their calories cost is relatively low. Adequate protein is key, since protein is highly satisfying and will keep hunger at bay between meals.

6. They practice portion control.

By learning what size portion you need to eat to feel 'not hungry and more' - as opposed to feeling 'stuffed' - you can trim your intake significantly. Portion control strategies include using smaller plates, serving your food in the kitchen (rather than having serving dishes at the table), and using meal replacements such as protein shakes, bars or frozen meals.

7. They practice stress management.

Food is often used as a comfort when we're stressed - but we usually feel guilty afterwards, which just increases the stress and keeps the cycle going. Successful losers have learned to find other ways to reduce their stress. They exercise, call a friend, or practice some meditation or deep breathing.

8. They had an attitude adjustment.

Many people who have successfully lose weight say that they had to change their thinking about dieting and weight loss. Some felt it was 'in their genes' to be fat, or that they couldn't lose because they'd never been successful in the past. Eventually, they faced the problem head on - recognizing that success would come through a series of small steps and a lifelong commitment to a healthy lifestyle.

9. They adopted a plan, and they stick to it.

Once you have an established routine of how you generally eat, and how frequently you exercise, learn to stick with this routine day, and day out. People who have lost weight and are successful and maintaining that loss do this - even on holidays or whey they go to restaurants. Many dine out less often, because they prefer having more control over what they eat by preparing more meals at home.

10. They have learned to control their environment.

Successful losers learn how to control situations that are most likely to get them into trouble. The foods that are available in the refrigerator or cupboard at home, in restaurants, at the workplace or in the grocery store are all environment that can be controlled. To gain control over the food environment, keep 'safe' foods in the house, choose restaurants where you know you can get foods that you want, bring appropriate foods to work and prepare a shopping list before you go to the supermarket.

Tips For Maintaining Weight After Weight Loss

noreply@blogger.com (nutritionclubmission) — Tue, 18 Feb 2014 22:00:00 +0800

You've Lost the Weight - Now What?

What is is weight management? Only about 1 in 6 people say they've held onto even small weight losses for as little as a year - which says that maintaining weight loss is a huge challenge for a lot of people.

If you don't want that lose weight to come back and find you, you can't just stop what you were doing. When it comes right down to it, what you do in order to lose weight and what you need to do to keep it offare pretty much one and the same. So here are some tips for managing your weight successfully.

Remember what got you into trouble in the first places. Was it too much fast food? Eating when you're stressed? Too many sweets? You know yourself well enough to know when you're falling back into old habits - so catch yourself before a slip becomes a fall

Continue to keep track of what you're doing. Keeping a food and exercise log and tracking your weight are great tools when you're in the weight loss phase - but don't stop there. Self-monitoring is key to weight maintenance - you're more likely to be successful if you continue to keep track.

Stay active. Once you've lose weight, your body burns fewer calories than it did when you were heavier - so exercise plays a critical role in helping to burn calories and keep your weight off.

Recognize what your true, best and natural weight is. In your efforts to lose, you may have ended up at a weight that's actually below your body's natural, healthy, weight - and it may be difficult to maintain. That's not to say that you should let all your weight come back. But sometimes you may find it easier to maintain a weigh that's slightly higher than you had intended. Many of my clients tell me they're happiest when they just live a healthy, active lifestyle and let their bodies find their own healthy, natural weight. For them, it's so much better than obsessing over every bite of food they eat - even if it means carrying a few extra pounds.

Reward yourself. When you were losing, you probably found ways to give yourself a pat on the back for sticking to your plan - but don't forget to reward yourself for continuing those new habits every day.

Remind yourself of how much you've accomplished. Keeping photographs around is good - old ones to remind you of where you were, and new ones to remind you of how far you've come. Remind yourself of all the positive steps you've taken to improve your health - and of how empowered you are, now that you've managed to take charge and manage your weight successfully.
