East Meets West

Asian cultures have realized the medical benefits of green tea for centuries. Those who drank it lived longer, healthier lives. Now science has discovered the reason behind the green tea phenomenon. Polyphenols, the antioxidants in green tea, can actually help lower cholesterol and promote healthy heart function. Plus studies show it is a great weight loss aid, helping to boost metabolism and suppress appetite. Given the amount of green tea needed to deliver these health benefits, it is almost impossible to drink enough in our busy lives.
Across the ocean in Polynesia, Noni is used for its’ health-regenerating properties. Polynesians rubbed this tropical fruit on burns and sores to relieve pain. Extensive research has finally unlocked the secret of Noni. The polysaccharides in Noni are different than the typical sugar type. Those in Noni are actually a form of dietary fiber, promoting proper digestion and enhancing your immune system. Unfortunately, the awful taste and foul odor prevent most of us from drinking it.

Green Tea Meets Noni

When combined, one would think green tea and Noni would make an unpalatable combination. However, just the opposite occurs. These two bitter ingredients actually become a tasty and powerful blend, known as TsuNoni.
In fact, this synergistic result is so rare, TsuNoni was issued a patent. When separate, Noni contains 11 mgs of antioxidants per gram and green tea has 88 mgs per gram. But when combined, lab studies prove these super-foods deliver 47% more antioxidants per gram. This 1+1=3 combination packs over 400 mgs of polyphenols and 70 mgs of polysaccharides per serving. TsuNoni is a healthy, effervescent fusion that tastes absolutely amazing.

Tradition Meets Technology

TsuNoni comes in an easy, instant beverage. The portable instant beverage compliments your busy lifestyle. Just mix one packet with a bottle of water and shake. With four delicious sparkling flavors, TsuNoni leaves you refreshed and your taste buds craving more.

Meet TsuNoni

TsuNoni is revitalizing, potent, and portable. Used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise, TsuNoni promises you good health. Taste the wave and lose the weight.

The Enemy of Weight Loss

By Janice Elizabeth Small

Going out for a meal used to be something which happened only on special occasions but these days it’s often a several-times-a week occurrence simply because we are too tired to cook.

If eating out is a regular event for you, avoid the temptation to treat it like an invitation to over-indulge. This is part of your regular eating pattern so you need to treat it as such. Eat only as much as you need and no more.

Occasional overeating does no harm but any level of regular overeating is bound to result in you piling on the pounds.

Having said that, you CAN eat healthily in restaurants, so if you eat out a lot, don’t despair. Just plan your trip with care and set a firm intention to eat healthily before you go.

Bear in mind that the cheapest restaurant options are normally the most unhealthy. Fast food and lower end restaurants are not noted for their use of low-fat or low-calorie cooking methods or foods. So choose your restaurant with care, somewhere that you know offers a selection of healthier dishes or will prepare foods specially for you on request.

If you have to wait for your meal at the bar, avoid alcoholic drinks which can increase your appetite and lower your resolve, not to mention the empty calories they contain. Avoid fizzy drinks with your meal and ask for water instead. If you drink wine with dinner, a small glass when you go out shouldn’t do too much harm in terms of calories.

Restaurants often serve huge amounts and if you know you have a tendency to clean your plate no matter how much is on it, order a small portion or a starter in place of a main course. You can even share a dish with your dinner companion. If you’re in the US you can request a doggie bag - but don’t try this one in Europe unless you want some very strange looks.

Avoid fried foods and those which are served in creamy or buttery sauces. Wherever possible go for plain grilled (broiled) chicken or fish and ask for any sauce to be served on the side. The same goes for salad where the dressing can turn a healthy dish into a dieter’s nightmare.

Forget dessert too if you are trying to lose weight. You just don’t need 300 or more extra calories on top of everything you’ve already eaten.

If you choose an ethnic restaurant take the time before your visit to understand the various cooking methods and ingredients in typical dishes and if you’re in doubt about a particular item on the menu ask the waiter for information.

Above all, don’t use eating out all the time as an excuse for not losing weight. You are the one ordering the food and no one is forcing you to eat it.

If you really can’t resist when you go out, then take the time to plan, prepare and cook food at home so that you don’t rely so much on restaurants. Arrange to meet friends for coffee, a sandwich or a movie rather than dinner or organise a more active outing such as a walk, shopping trip or bowling party. You are only limited by your imagination. On business trips, you can use local stores to buy healthy foods to eat in your room for at least part of your stay. The size of your expense account does not have to show up in the size of your waistline.

Go Low-Glycemic To Burn Away That Excess Fat!

By Lisa Hyde-Barrett

Obesity — it is as much the scourge of the developed world as poverty is of the Third World. Thousands in the developed world have been desperately — and rather unsuccessfully — trying to shed their pounds, even as thousands in the underdeveloped world have been trying to put some fat into their bodies.

The World Health Organization says that the United States is now the fattest country in the world. Ask anyone who has tried to burn away those calories. It’s easier to look for the proverbial needle in the haystack! And they will tell you that there are no shortcuts in a fat loss regimen.

There are many causes that contribute to weight gain. Often, it may not only be the intake of food. Hormonal factors, side-effects of medical conditions, and many other factors cause weight gain. Recent research has shown that the increased amount of chemicals and toxins in the environment is a factor contributing to obesity.

Dieting and fat burning exercises are often considered the only solution for fat loss. But such a regime should be tailor-made for your body composition and lifestyle to be effective. However, many people do not follow professional advice and cause more harm to their body than good while on a fat loss regime.

This is where we need to look at the new low-glycemic standard of healthy eating. Glycemic indexing basically measures by how much a given food raises blood sugar and insulin response. This is important because the rate at which your blood sugar rises after eating is important in managing your weight.

High-glycemic food causes many negative effects, including weight gain. They increase your appetite, and raise fat in your body system by increasing triglycerides. However, a low-carbohydrate diet is not necessarily a low-glycemic diet as is the popular misconception. Such a diet will only lead to more fat in the body.

So what is a low glycemic diet? Fruits and vegetables are low-glycemic food, and you should include them most in your daily diet. However, it is often not quite possible to stick to such a diet.

That is where glyconutritionals or glyconutrient supplements come in. Glyconutrients are a class of sugars that are found in fruits and vegetables and are necessary to keep the body ticking along perfectly. The are needed to some the fundamental biochemical process of cell-to-cell communication in the body, and tone up the immune system.

Eight of these essential sugars have already been discovered and six of these are not available in our daily diet. Taking glyconutritional supplements made from fruits and vegetables helps in two ways: they help you maintain a low-glycemic diet and also keep your body strong while on a fat loss regime.

Lisa Hyde-Barrett, a registered nurse and wellness advocate, understands the relationship between good nutrition and good health. She’s become passionate about the new research behind sugars, specifically glyconutritional products.

Is Your TV Making You Fat?

By Janice Elizabeth Small

How much time do you spend watching TV? Do you watch for at least two hours a day?

A recent study of more than 68,000 American women over a 6 year period showed that regularly watching just two hours of TV a day increased the risk of developing obesity by 23 per cent and type 2 diabetes by 14 per cent.

Now, it has to be said that merely watching TV cannot make you fat. It’s what else you are doing or not doing because you’re watching TV that makes the difference.

When you’re watching TV you’re not pottering around the house tidying up. When you’re slumped on your sofa in front of “Desperate Housewives”, you’re not weeding your garden or going for a walk or a bike ride. When you watch TV you’re using up only about 70 calories an hour, while playing with your kids or cooking a meal from scratch uses about four times as much. Just half an hour watching TV instead of being active and you’re talking the equivalent of over 38,000 calories or more than 10lbs of fat a year unless you eat less to make up for it.

What’s more, TV steals time right from under your nose.

Do you watch TV for two hours a night but say you don’t have time to exercise? Do you watch TV and eat ready meals because you think you don’t have time to make a healthy dinner? If you are not finding the time to care properly for yourself, yet finding an hour or more for the latest episode of those shows you “just can’t miss”, then TV is stealing time from you!

And TV encourages poor eating habits. When you view you are fair game for the junk food ads that come on constantly and persuade you that you need something to eat. And lets face it a stick of celery just doesn’t fit the bill. So you get out the tortilla chips, popcorn or nuts and mindlessly eat through the whole bag - a recipe for piling on the pounds.

Now, you may see the sense in all this, but still not want to give up your beloved TV. Do you really need to do that to lose weight?

No, not at all!

But you do need to think about what TV is costing you and treat it with caution.

If you limit your viewing to only those shows you really like, (and a maximum of 1 or 2 a day) you’ll still have plenty of time for taking care of yourself. Plan your viewing and switch off when your show is over. Deliberately get up and do something else.

To avoid snacking all evening, don’t eat in front of the TV at all. But if you really must have a snack, put a small portion in a bowl or on a plate rather than eating from the bag. You’re less likely to eat the whole packet empty then!

And if you’re really keen to combat TV weight gain, you could try being active while you view. Do your ironing or a few exercises in front of the TV. It will stop you nibbling snacks and use some calories. Maybe it’s even time to dust off that exercise bike and retrieve it from the basement or attic. Just think, you could cycle half way round the world while your TV provides all the entertainment you need!

Yoga Can Help You to Lose Weight

We all know that yoga is good for your health and well-being, but does how does it tie into weight loss? After all, it isn’t aerobic exercise so can it really help to shed pounds?

A recent study conducted by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA investigated the effects of yoga on weight, which is the first study to investigate the role between the two. More than 15,000 participants were asked to recall their physical activity patterns and weight history between the ages of 45 and 55. The study found that during this period, most people gain about 1 pound each year. The people who practiced yoga at least 30 minutes once a week for four or more years gained 3 pounds less weight than the non-yoga participants.

This is not necessarily staggering results but it gets better! Both men and women who were overweight at the beginning of the period and who started to practice yoga lost about five pounds, while those who were yoga free gained an average of 14 pounds within the next ten years. Now that is news! Imagine what the results would be for people practicing yoga 2-3 times a week.

The researchers have not concluded why the yoga participants lost more weight especially when most of them were not in advanced levels. More studies are needed at this time to give us more insight into the topic.

Participating in regular yoga classes and even getting good enough to venture into some advanced classes, has so many benefits. Here is what yoga can do for you.

• Physical Benefits: Creates a toned, flexible, and strong body…yes, it helps to build muscle which will also help to improve your metabolism. It also promotes cardio and circulatory health.

• Mental Benefits: Helps you relax and handle stress more easily. Teaches you to quiet all that chatter in your mind so you can focus on how you want to direct your energy. Encourages positive thoughts and self-acceptance. This alone can do a lot for those emotional/stress eaters out there.

• Spiritual Benefits: This is a nondenominational value that helps to build awareness of your body, your feelings, and the world around you. It also helps you to learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. We all could use some regular reminders of this!

So why not join a yoga class? It can add so many benefits to your life and now you can add weight management to the list! Take action and sign up for an introductory class today!

Do You Have This Essential Weight Loss Skill?

By Janice Elizabeth Small
There is one practical skill which you need above all others when you want to lose weight. That skill will give you the ability to enjoy your food while you’re trying to lose weight as much as when you’re not. It’s a skill that unfortunately is getting less common these days as we lead busier and busier lives.

What’s that skill?

The ability to cook!

If you can’t even boil an egg then you are stuck with eating unimaginative ready meals and TV dinners or greasy take-aways and fast food. And you will no doubt eat out in restaurants more than is good for you. With such a combination you are unlikely to get all the vitamins and minerals you need to stay healthy and you will be getting far too much food full of fat, salt and sugar and too many calories to lose weight.

With a rudimentary knowledge of cooking, however, you can whip up the most delicious low-calorie healthy meals, eat as much as you need (as long as you don’t stuff yourself) and enjoy everything you eat without doing any damage to your waistline.

Of course, you need to know what to cook but there are any number of helpful low-calorie and low-fat cookery books out there as well as specialist magazines and websites. You can plan a whole raft of delicious meals each week for you and your family and they won’t even know they are eating healthily to keep you company!

If you really don’t have a clue where to start it’s worth joining a beginners class or buying a basic “Learn to cook” book to get the fundamental skills. After that the whole world of delicious cuisine is your oyster.

You may even find that your attempts to lose weight may result in you gaining a whole new exciting relationship with food rather than fearing it as the enemy.

Sustainable Weight Loss Through Conscious Consumption

By Claudette Pelletier-Hannah

We’re really kidding ourselves about what, why and how much we are eating and drinking. And it’s killing us. When we practice conscious consumption we inevitably eat less and enjoy more. Conscious
consumption means being aware and responsible for every single thing we eat and drink. We no longer shovel food in and cryout in pain later. We eat to live and we live in good health.

The following 10 tips are designed to bring consciousness to your consumption with the intent of managing your weight, well-being and your health.

1. Just eat.

When you eat do nothing else. Eat only while seated at a table and avoid eating while driving, reading, working or watching television. Be fully present when you eat. Enjoy.

2. Make some sense.

Use your senses to prepare and consume food that appeals to your senses and “hear” the messages that come back to you. Let appearance, smell, taste, touch or texture, feeling full or hungry or how different foods make you feel be part of your conscious eating experience.

3. Take your time.

Your brain can’t process your meal as fast as you can eat it. Practice chewing thoroughly, resting between mouthfuls. By eating slowly you will notice the satisfied feeling in your belly before it’s too late. You will start leaving food on your plate because you feel satisfied.

4. Get real.

Eat “real” food that is fresh and needs some preparation as often as possible. You know exactly what you’re eating because you’ve prepared it. Avoid fast food, junk food, processed food that is addictive, fattening and void of value.

5. Tell the truth.

Do you really know when, why, what, where and how you are eating and drinking? Honest assessment leads to awareness and understanding. Awareness plus action equals results.

6. Eat when you’re hungry.

Avoid eating out of habit or to console, reward, protect or punish yourself or for any other emotional reasons. Identify your needs and get them met in healthy ways. If you’re lonely, find companionship. If you’re
bored, find something to do. Comfort food can kill you. If you’re hungry, eat. Know yourself and know the difference between real hunger and other feelings.

7. Get involved.

Replace the urge to eat with healthy distractions. Develop new habits. Get up, get involved and get new interests that don’t involve food.

8. Manage your environment.

Set yourself up for success by limiting the temptations all around you. Don’t buy food you will have to work hard to resist later. Move away from the buffet table. Avoid the traffic areas where fast food restaurants cluster. Stay away from the staff room where donuts and other poor food choices reign. Hang out with people with healthy habits. You’re in control.

9. Know what you need.

In order to make intelligent, nutritious choices arm yourself with the knowledge of your daily food requirements and how to meet those requirements. It’s easier than you think.

10. Everything in moderation.

Don’t deny yourself your favorite food. But remember - you don’t need a truckload of it either. When you accept that there is room for all foods in your diet there is no need to binge on them. Choose consciously.

Lose Weight Confidently

By Hifzur Rehman

So you have decided to lose weight. Great!

Why do you want to lose weight?

- to live a healthy and disease-free life
- to look younger and more attractive
- to feel more confident about yourself

- to gain popularity in social circles

- to be able to wear the clothes of your choice
- to live a more active life
- to enjoy life in full, etc.

Think for a moment and write down on a piece of paper, all the reasons which have motivated you to lose weight. This is important because you need to convince yourself that losing weight is in your best interest. If you cannot convince yourself, you can’t lose weight.

What is your goal?

Losing weight itself should not be your goal. Living a healthy life should be! You need to lose weight because you want to keep yourself healthy and physically fit. Therefore, living a healthy and joyful life should be your goal and must be kept in mind and pursued enthusiastically throughout your life.

Once you have a clearly defined written goal and the genuine need to lose weight, it would be much easier for you to shed extra pounds. Your success in any lose weight program is fully guaranteed if you have a strong determination to reach your goal.

Love your body

Love your body and make a solemn pledge to keep it slim, smart and healthy by losing that extra weight which is not only giving you an ugly look but also posing a serious threat to your life. You need to find out the best lose weight program, most suitable and beneficial to your body. Remember, there is no magic pill which can make you slim in an overnight. Don’t be fooled by the attractive advertisements which make you believe that you can lose weight in hours.

Be in harmony with your mind and body

Prepare yourself mentally as well as physically for the steps you are going to take. When you are in harmony with your mind and body then you will not have to force yourself to eat that special diet or to do that workout. Your body would be positively responding to the weight loss program thus enabling you to achieve the desired results in the shortest possible time.

And finally, even if you have failed to lose weight in the past, don’t give up. Try some other method. Hopefully this article would give you a new incentive in restarting your lose weight program. I want to read your success story!

(Please note: If you are suffering from some kind of ailment and taking medications then it is necessary to consult your physician before starting any lose weight program).

The Mediterranean Diet Full Flavored Foods Help

For everyone who’s been on a diet themselves or knows someonewho’s been on a diet, you know how bland the food can besometimes. With foods like rice cakes it’s no secret why youlose weight, if the foods taste like carboard.

For everyone who’s had this experience there is hope. Youshould look at the Mediterranean Diet. The Mediterranean Dietisn’t a new fad or quick loss weight scheme, in fact it’s beenaround for over 40 years. However it’s taken science that longto fugure out what it was and why it works. The Mediterraneanis a diverse region that is made up of 16 countries along theMediterranean Sea. Countries like France, Spain, Italy and Greece have diverse and different cultures. While the foods aredifferent on a nutritionally level they share many similarities. They contain lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Wine isconsumed in moderate amounts daily. Eggs are consumed inmoderate amounts, and foods like poultry, fish and dairy areconsumed on a limited basis.

However as many nutritionists and scientists are discoveringone of the keys to the Mediterranean Diet is the oils. Plantbased oils are extensively used throughout the region, witholive oil being the most popular. Olive oil is amonounsaturated fat, which means it’s good for the body anddoes things like lower your cholesterol. Do to the rich fats inthe foods and those used in the cooking the foods of the regionare known for the full rich textures and flavors that they have. In fact it’s these fats which give the foods a luxurious
“mouth feel”. However eating foods rich in fats is not without some sacrifices, as fats have more than double the amount of calories of similarly sized portions of protein or carbohydrates. Learning to manage and control your portions is a key aspect of anybody who wants to follow the Mediterranean
Diet.
