Tips for a Healthy Living

by Richard Carter

There is good nutritional value in safe food which is very important to very person's health. In order to promote good health one must have a balanced diet that is comprised of good nutritious products. When I say good food I refer to food that is rich on vitamins and minerals and low on saturated fats, chemicals, additives, antibiotics, and things as such. There are some simple guidelines one can follow to protect and improve their health and to promote longevity:

1. Learn to count your calories and to limit your caloric intake to only the necessary for each day. Note: if caloric intake is higher than what you need, all those extra calories just bulk up into fat. Also, the higher your body fat is, the more you are going to crave for more food.
2. Learn to live a healthy lifestyle. Don't just sit around all day doing nothing, rather move a lot and exercise; this can be more important than eating healthy food. If you do not move and burn the calories you consume of any type of food, you will gain fat.
3. Remember, that even though you are learning to cook deliciously with this method, you should limit your intake of food that is high on sugar. For example, soda is very high on sugar. Especially those sodas made with aspartame which is even worst.
4. Do avoid trans fat and saturated fats which is the fats found in hydrogenated oils and meat.
5. I know that this is not giving you any extra recipes, but I think this information can help us all. Smoking is a sign that a person is not physically active so it is definitely not good for your health. Smoking is bad for the lungs and also for the heart!
6. Diets can be misleading now-a-days so don't be fooled. The best advice I can give on dieting is to limit your caloric intake to less than the calories you burn each day and just have fun with an active life!
7. Try to have a set eating schedule of three regular meals a day. Drink lots of water!
8. Stay well informed of the fruits and vegetables that are in season so you save money and enjoy the freshness!

I know that this article is on health and not so much on recipes and things like that, but I thought that it was important for everyone to know what their diets should look like. I always say, how the person likes to eats is how they like to cook.

Losing Fat And Looking All That

by Jill Anne White One of the main motivators I used to help me lose fat was the desire to be stronger, faster to keep a step ahead of my fast growing, very fit young son. One of the best side-effects of weight loss are the compliments that are forthcoming from my friends. Now I am not saying I look all that, in fact, I am sure I'm far from it. I do think I am a better looking version of my former self though and I have to admit, it does give me confidence and I like thinking that maybe those second looks I get are for the right reasons now. The odd thing is, I didn't lose weight then start to feel confident about how I was looking. Instead, I began to pay attention to my good points, (we all have them, so go check yours out when you finish reading). Being happy about my best attributes helped put me in a healthy mindset for weight loss. I know many people think to themselves, "I'll be so happy when I lose weight, I'd be happier if I were thinner etc....

23 Top Tips for Planning a Great Wedding On a Small Budget

by Anthony Coogan Apart from buying a property, a wedding is the most difficult event that most people have to plan and prepare for. It becomes even more challenging when working to a tight budget. Here are some pointers to help you get the best value for money. How to Budget: When working within strict financial guidelines your wedding expenses have to be decided and planned carefully. Whoever is paying, whether it is you or your parents, or a combination of both, it is wise to set a limit of the funding available. Keep an eye on the big picture and be careful not to over commit. Given that the average cost of a traditional wedding is somewhere in the region of $35,000, running over by as little as 15 per cent will cost you another $5,000.
