Don't Skip Your Breakfast

If you are too busy or too rush to work for your breakfast, think again. Just a small amount of healthful food can help refuel your body properly. It is worth for you to get up a few minutes earlier to do that. Keep quick breakfast foods on hand, or get your breakfast foods read the night before to save time in the morning. Never, never, never go for fast foods as your breakfast because these meals are not going to do much for you in terms of health and nutrition.

Reduce the Effects of Ageing by Restricting Your Calories

Gerontologist Dr. Roy Walford of the UCLA Medical School suggests that the effects of ageing may actually be the result of too many calories over our lifetime. Through his studies, Walford concluded that a high-nutrient, low-calorie diet can have a dramatic effect in retarding the ageing process by reducing weight to the point of metabolic efficiency. So, check with your doctor before taking any type of diet and exercise programme.

Eat Slowly

I know a lot of Malaysians are very busy to make money. They eat very fast (that’s why we have fast food restaurants). But eating slowly helps your health.

It takes at least 20 minutes for your stomach to signal your brain that it is full. Slowing down will help to curb the urge to go back for a second helping. It also ensures proper digestion. Sit down to eat instead of eating while standing, driving, or watching television. Eating while doing other things means you are eating unconsciously and thus, can easily consume more calories than you intended.

Consume Dairy Products But Low Fat

Dairy products are full of calcium as well as other vitamins and minerals. But…they should be low fat (if possible). If you are lactose intolerant should explore nondairy alternatives and should consider taking calcium supplements to prevent age-related osteoporosis and similar disorders. Non-lactose-intolerant people can get calcium in dairy products including milk, ice creams, yogurt, etc. Also, nondairy soy products such as tofu and fortified soy drinks contain calcium as well as protein.

Broccoli

Instead of reaching for the high-fat, high-calories foods. Plan you budget your the right foods is very important for your health. Choose only those that give you the most nutrition and health benefits.

Study them before you consumer. It may sounds troublesome at the beginning, once you get used to your plan, you will get a lot of health benefits.

For example, broccoli is full of fiber, very filling and extremely in low calories. You can eat more than three cups of broccoli and consume less than 100 calories. Forget about food like butter, cream cheese, jelly, jam or eggs and sausage. It is a sure fire way to pack on some pounds.

Drink a Glass of Wine a Day

A glass of wine a day is good for women and two for men. According to some research, it is proven to reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease as well as slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

But, if you drink more than that, your health benefit will be forfeited.

Wine has non-alcoholic phytochemicals (flavonoids and resveratol) that prevent free radical molecules from damaging your body’s cells. A glass a day will do more good than harm!
