Cara Hidup Sehat 4. Latihan. Bukan hanya beberapa kali seminggu, tapi cobalah setiap hari. Penelitian telah menunjukkan bahwa berolahraga setiap hari membawa manfaat luar biasa bagi kesehatan, termasuk dapat memperpanjang umur, menurunkan risiko semua penyakit, kepadatan tulang yang lebih tinggi dan menurunkan berat badan. Tingkatkan aktivitas dalam hidup Anda. Pilih berjalan untuk jarak yang dekat. Naiki tangga, bukan menggunakan lift. Bergabunglah beberapa kelas aerobik. Cara Hidup Sehat 5. Makan lebih banyak buah-buahan. Buah-buahan adalah mengandung vitamin dan mineral. Apakah Anda tahu bahwa jeruk memberikan manfaat kesehatan lebih dari pil Vitamin C? Meminum dalam suplemen tidak sama dengan mengkonsumsi buah. Makanlah buah-buahan yang paling bergizi seperti: Semangka, Aprikot, alpukat, Apel, melon, jeruk, Kiwi, jambu, pepaya, stroberi. Cara Hidup Sehat 6. Makan lebih banyak sayuran. Seperti buah-buahan, sayur-sayuran juga penting bagi kesehatan kita. Para ahli menyarankan bahwa kita harus memiliki 5-9 porsi buah/sayuran sehari, dan sayangnya kebanyakan orang bahkan tidak memiliki setidaknya 5 porsi sayuran sehari! Makanlah sayuran seperti Kacang merah, kacang hitam, asparagus, kacang panjang, kacang Perancis, kecambah, jamur kancing, dan wortel. Apa sayuran favorit Anda? Konsumsilah mulai sekarang. Cara Hidup Sehat 7. Pilih makanan berwarna cerah. Buah-buahan dan sayuran dengan warna-warna cerah biasanya mengandung anti-oksidan yang tinggi. Anti-oksidan baik untuk kesehatan karena mereka menghilangkan radikal bebas dalam tubuh yang merusak sel-sel. Jadi penuhi kulkas anda dengan buah / sayuran aneka warna: Putih (Pisang, jamur), Kuning (Nanas, Mangga), Orange (Jeruk, pepaya), Red (Apple, Stroberi, Tomat, semangka), Hijau (Jambu, Alpukat, mentimun, selada, seledri), Ungu / Biru (Blackberry, Terong, prunes).

Is Night Eating Really Worse?



Hi guys, today we are going to talk about is it true that eating at night will make you becomes fatter.

The old diet adage "eat breakfast like a king, dinner like a pauper" might hold true, according to a new study.

You gain weight because the foods you eat at night are extra calories you probably don't need. Extra calories equal extra weight.At night, body temperature drops and leptin rises, creating a maelstrom ideal for weight gain if you do indulge in extra calories.

How to Break a Nighttime Snacking Habit

Here are some tips to help you make sure that eating at night doesn't lead to weight gain:
  • Establish a "kitchen-closed" policy.
  • Keep temptation at arm's length.
  • Eat breakfast.
  • Stay busy.
  • Plan your eating.

If weight loss or maintaining your weight is your goal, eat healthy all day long and avoid piling on the calories after the sun goes down.

Eating too many chips can lead to health problems

Chips are an inexpensive, tasty and easily available snack, but the toll they take on your body may not be worth the pleasure. While enjoying an occasional handful of chips won't cause irreparable damage to someone consuming an otherwise healthy diet, the real dangers arise when you consume chips on a daily basis or regularly choose them over healthier options.
Cut down a bit of stomach fat every day by never eating these 4 foods.

Weight Gain

Chips are typically high in fat and calories, which can raise the risk of weight gain and obesity. One ounce of plain potato chips, or about 15 to 20 chips, contains about 10 grams of fat and 154 calories. A 2011 study in "The New England Journal of Medicine" found that daily consumption of a single ounce of potato chips led to an average weight gain of 1.69 pounds over four years. The link between potato chips and weight gain was stronger than the link between weight gain and other dietary components, including processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages and unprocessed red meats. Being overweight or obese raises the risk of diabetes, heart disease and some forms of cancer.

Low Nutrition

If you regularly include chips as part of your diet, you may not be consuming as many nutrients as you should. Chips are typically low in vitamins and minerals, and they tend to displace things in the diet that are higher in nutrients. Eating healthy snacks can help make up for any nutritional lack at meal times, so if you opt for chips instead of snacks with a high nutrient density, you won't get this benefit.

High Blood Pressure

The sodium content in chips may negatively impact your cardiovascular health. A high intake of sodium can cause an increase in blood pressure, which can lead to stroke, heart failure, coronary heart disease and kidney disease. Potato chips generally have between 120 and 180 milligrams of sodium per ounce, and tortilla chips can have 105 to 160 milligrams of sodium per ounce. A bag of chips typically contains more than a single ounce, so many people consume more sodium than they realize when eating chips. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, most people should limit their salt consumption to 2,300 milligrams per day, while individuals over 50, African-Americans and anyone with high blood pressure, kidney disease or diabetes should not consume more than 1,500 milligrams per day.

High Cholesterol

Frequent chip consumption can contribute to high cholesterol levels because of the amount and type of fat found in chips. Most chips are deep-fried, a process that creates trans fats, the most dangerous type. In addition, the oils used for frying chips are often saturated fats, which also contribute to high cholesterol levels. A 2007 study published in the journal "Circulation" found that high levels of trans fats in the bloodstream were associated with high levels of LDL cholesterol and an increased risk of coronary heart disease. High levels of trans fat in the diet are correlated to high levels in the blood.

Healthy Alternatives

Baked potato chips and tortilla chips tend to be lower in calories and fat than fried chips, although they may still contain high sodium levels. Unsalted whole-wheat pretzels and air-popped popcorn are low-fat, low-calorie options that also provide extra fiber, making them better snack choices than chips. Other healthy alternatives include low-sodium, baked vegetable chips or apple chips.

10 diet-bolstering tricks that take zero effort but bring you better health even on your busiest days


Healthy Eating Tips: 6 AM: Rise and Shine

You hit the snooze button for the last time and fumble your way into the kitchen. Now try these healthy eating tips:

1. Drink Orange Juice with Added Calcium
 If you start the day with orange juice, don't miss the chance to get calcium too. This superstar mineral fends off PMS, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. And the latest? It might even help you lose weight! Most calcium-fortified orange and grapefruit juices have as much calcium as milk--or more!

2. Take a Multi 
One little pill, such big benefits! People who take a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement have dramatic reductions in the risk of colon cancer and heart disease, studies show. Another benefit: The folic acid in your multi is almost two times more absorbable than the form of this vitamin found in food.

3. Have "7-gram" Cereal 
That means cereal with at least 7 g of fiber per serving, because eating cereal is your easiest chance to get lots of fiber in a small package. Not only is fiber a cancer fighter, but it actually cancels out some of the calories you eat! For example, if you eat 30 g of fiber a day--slightly more than double what most of us get--your body will absorb 120 fewer calories a day. That adds up to a 13-lb loss in a year!

4. Toss Some Blueberries on That Cereal 
Blueberries are youth berries. Even frozen blueberries are so packed with antioxidants that just 1/2 cup can double the antioxidant power of most people's diets--something that experts suspect will slow down your aging clock. Blueberries actually reversed memory loss in one animal study!

5. Make Your Coffee with Milk
 If you make instant coffee with hot water, all you're getting is a wake-up call. Use milk, and you've got cafe au lait--along with insurance against osteoporosis from the calcium and vitamin D in the milk.

6. Drink a Glass of Water When You Brush Your Teeth
 You've got the water and the glass right there. So drink! Only one-third of all Americans get the recommended eight glasses daily. Think a little shortfall doesn't matter? Signs of mild dehydration include fatigue upon awakening, fatigue at midday, lack of concentration, and headaches. [pagebreak]

Healthy Eating Tips: 8:00 AM: On the Job

With these healthy eating tips, snacks at work can make you healthier:

7. Take an Apple to Work 
Put one on your desk in the morning, and an apple becomes see-food--the handiest snack to grab when the munchies hit. If it's not there, you'll be hunting for sticky buns or whatever else is around. In addition to apples being a low-cal snack, a recent study revealed that the lungs of apple-a-day eaters may have better protection against air pollution.

8. Stash Nuts In Your Desk
 Probably because nuts are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, magnesium, and phytochemicals, folks who snack on a small handful of them four or five times a week tend to live longer, several studies suggest. Just don't overdo it: One ounce of peanuts (approximately 1/8 cup) contains about 170 calories and 14 g of fat.

Healthy Eating Tips: 11:30 AM: Grocery Shopping

You dash out for groceries over your lunch hour. Here's how to be a healthy shopper even when you're on autopilot:

9. Buy Better Bread 
If you eat white bread, you're eating vitamin-fortified starch. Whole wheat bread has fiber, important nutrients such as selenium and copper, and a treasury of other healthy ingredients. Maybe that's why whole-grain eaters seem to have less diabetes, breast cancer, and heart disease. Just don't be fooled by a dark color: Unless the first ingredient includes the word "whole," it isn't whole wheat bread.

10. Choose Canola Salad Dressing Are you a salad eater? Terrific! Now look for a dressing made with canola oil, rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). One study found that nurses who got more than 1 g of ALA per day had half the number of fatal heart attacks.
