![]() Not happy with your body? It’s hardly your fault. Have you ever stopped to notice how many times you’re bombarded by food marketing each day? Ads come at you from magazine pages, T.V. commercials, on websites and billboards, each boasting of cheap, convenient and tasty ways to cure your hunger. The question “What’s for dinner?” has never been more complex than now. Extensive menu options and large entrees have distorted your concept of a proper meal, and before you know it you’ve fallen into the trap of the chain restaurant, the drive thru, and the take-out line. But wait – truly healthy eating is simple. First, block out the blizzard of food marketing around you. Remember that advertisers want your money, and they don’t stop to consider if the food they promote will expand your waist – that’s your job. It’s safe to say that, with few exceptions, any food that you see marketed should be avoided. When was the last time you saw an ad for grilled white fish and steamed broccoli? So what does truly healthy eating look like? A healthy meal contains lean protein, fresh vegetables and the occasional modest serving of whole grains. Just as importantly, a healthy meal does NOT contain:
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What you decide to eat when you first wake up will set the tone for the rest of your meals that day. Try these healthy options:
It is important to plan your lunch ahead of time in order to avoid turning to a fast food joint or vending machine. Pack your lunch the night before and carry it with you. Try these healthy options:
Dinner is the meal where most people splurge and eat far more calories than they should. Eating at home is the first step in reducing your dinnertime calories. Try these healthy options:

That’s right—he’s sick and tired of telling you how important exercise is to your health because YOU DON’T LISTEN. He’s sick of explaining how so many of your health problems will improve or even disappear as the result of a consistent exercise program. He’s tired of tallying your controllable risk factors that include physical inactivity and obesity. So why does he continue to give you the same lecture? Because he’s seen exercise change lives. He’s even seen exercise save lives. 1. Feel Great: The first thing that patients tell their doctor after starting an exercise program is how much better they feel. People don’t realize how bad they feel. They get used to feeling bad. Then when they start exercising they feel so much better. Your energy levels boost and you feel great. 2. Pain Be Gone: Next patients notice a reduction in aches and pains. Chronic muscle and joint pain that they’ve lived with for years begins to fade. For some, joint replacement surgery is postponed. For others, arthritis pain is reduced. Your muscles and joints feel better than ever. 3. Goodbye Coronary Heart Disease: While patients can’t feel this healing benefit of exercise, it is the one that saves lives. Exercise removes two of the major risk factors that lead to heart disease: 1) physical inactivity and 2) obesity. Exercise also increases your good cholesterol (HDL) and lowers your blood pressure. Your risk of heart attack or stroke is reduced. 4. Goodbye Type 2 Diabetes: Patients with type 2 diabetes gain substantial benefits from exercise. Exercise improves the body’s use of insulin, and the related weight loss improves insulin sensitivity. Of course patients with type 2 diabetes need to get guidelines from their doctor before starting an exercise program. Your blood sugar levels are better controlled. 5. Goodbye Sleep Apnea: Patients with sleep apnea are often caught in a destructive cycle. Their weight promotes occurrences of apnea then inadequate sleep promotes weight gain. With all of these benefits it’s hard to see why anyone would avoid exercise. What’s your excuse?
Then the next time you see your doctor he won’t give you a lecture. He’ll congratulate you. ![]() Today I’m sharing a healthy recipe that’s a great way to eat more spinach—and we all know how that turned out for Popeye :-) Frittatas make a great dinner, so don’t limit this as a breakfast food. The key to making a low fat, high protein frittata is to replace most of the eggs with egg whites, as this recipe calls for. Servings: 4 Here’s what you need...
