Let’s Eat Right for Your Health

Posted by Shisuka Monday, December 14, 2009

Even though we know about good nutrition, and how to upgrade our diet program, we are not actually putting the advice into practice. But, it may be necessary if we follow the advice. So, let’s eat right for your health by following below advice, such as:
• Good grains
Pass on bread-banning plans. Cutting carbs long-term may raise your risk for colon cancer, scientists at the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland, say. Dieters who restrict their intake of whole grains and fruit have lower levels of fatty acid, butyrate, which kills cancer cells. Make sure your diets include plenty of whole grains, fruit and vegetable.
• Not so fast
Convenience foods may be anything but. People who make prepackaged dinners spend as much time in the kitchen as those who cook from scratch, researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles say.
Ready-made meals also tend to be less nutritious than those made fresh.
• Dairy defense
Drinking two cups of milk a day may lower your risk for heart disease or stroke by 15 percent, notes a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Pour skin to save saturated fat.
• Cheaters win
Nearly all dieters have cravings, but they do not always have to ignore them to reach their goal weight. Women who lost the most pounds sometimes splurged on treats, a study in the International Journal of Obesity reports. However, do not consider this news a ticket to overindulge, women who gave in more frequently lost less. Keep treats under control with a food diary.
• Fabulous folate
Munching on folate-rich foods may cut the risk for pancreatic cancer by about 60 percent in normal-weight women, a study in Cancer Research reveals. Not so for those taking folate supplements, which actually raised their risk. Skip the pill; go for raw greens such as spinach.
• Meal math
The more you’re served, the more you eat. When researchers at Penn State University in University Park gave normal-sized meals for 11 days, then supersized them by 50 percent, dinner ate 423 more calories per day. If your eating has started to get off track, try this trick to curb calories: Eat two bites of veggies for every one of a main course and you’ll feel full.
