DIET CAN YOU AVOID MISTAKES

Eat well, healthy and balanced way can be learned!

If we can all make mistakes, there is still time to remedy and conveniently change our dietary habits.

Locate your eating and correct errors shooting, for the greater good of your health and your fitness!

The correct answers are noted in bold

What oil should I choose?
Sunflower oil.
Rapeseed oil.

This is an omega-3 History and Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Excess omega-6 compete with omega-3. It is precisely the current situation, hence the recommendation to consume more omega-3 (rapeseed oil, walnut oil, fish ...) at the expense of omega-6 found in processed industrially produced cakes, cookies, pastries, donuts ... and sunflower oil!

Is it a mistake of eating red meat?
No, you can eat red meat, but reasonable.

Yes, its a food that it no longer be consumed.

Red meat still has a place at our table, but it is recommended to choose the leanest cuts and alternate with white meat and fish. Attention a piece of meat or equivalent with each meal (breakfast, lunch) is not necessary. Think of starches which also provide protein.
Red meat is a good source of iron, which women tend to miss.

What about dess sugar diet products (confectionery, soft drinks, desserts ...)?
They are preferred.

They are to be avoided.

Like the fat products in fat, high sugar diet products are useful in the context of dieting. But only on condition of not consume more under the pretext that it is lighter!

Drink a glass of water before the meal: error or good idea?
There must be a mistake.

It is a good idea.

It can not hurt, and it may even by inflating your stomach a little, help trigger the satiety signal earlier and thus help you to limit quantities and to better choose the foods eaten during the meal.

When is it better to salt your food normally?
During cooking.

At the table, directly on your plate.

We consume too much salt, which increases our blood pressure and therefore our cardiovascular risk.
Our salt intake comes mainly industrial products and are therefore difficult to control. We can at least reduce the salt we add ourselves in our food. The easiest way is to add a little salt when cooking or preparing food, and not adding salt at the table, taking care to remove the salt shaker from the table to not be tempted!

Which fatty acids it is recommended to avoid?
Polyunsaturated fatty acids and therefore the products that contain them.

Hydrogenated trans fatty acids and therefore the products that contain them.

Hydrogenated trans fatty acids, from a purely industrial process, and that there is therefore in the products of the same name, are harmful to health and should be avoided. Read the labels.
Prefer polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially omega-3 which are excellent for health.

What meal should be as light of day?
Lunch.

Dinner.

Before bedtime, the body does not need a lot of calories. In the opposite case, hearty dinners promote weight gain, with storage of excess calories.
Moreover, an important dinner leads a long and difficult digestion liable to disturb sleep.
Dinner should be the lightest meal of the day.

Which cereal should I choose?
Refined cereals, white flour.

Complete or semi-complete cereals.

Excellent for digestion because of their fiber, whole grains provide many other essential nutrients and play a role in the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Can Apple’s HealthKit Avoid Health Exploitation

---All 200 posts here---

More healthcare begets more health costs and less health. Tests detect symptoms that trigger treatment, but more often than not fail to contribute to health. Apple’s newly announced HealthKit promises to facilitate increased surveillance of personal health statistics and to integrate the data with the health industry. If recent history is a guide, more data will simply mean more inappropriate interventions, greater expense and further deterioration of public health. More public interaction and scrutiny is needed to keep the public safe from the health industry and to hold doctors to their pledge to do no harm.

Breast, Prostate and Pelvic Exams Lead to Costly, Harmful, Unnecessary Interventions

In the last two years, major studies have found that frequent breast exams, prostate tests and pelvic exams cause more harm than good. The surgery, followup procedures and treatments that the screening tests trigger are worse than the cancers that went unnoticed under more relaxed scrutiny. The bottom line is that the information gathered from screening was not sufficient to produce appropriate, measured treatment. Patients were harmed without benefit and the health industry was compromised by increased profits from inappropriate tests and treatments. Doctors routinely convinced themselves of the value of routine exams that they performed to yield excessive false positives that resulted in unnecessary biopsies or disfiguring surgery. Those flawed exams, tests and procedures also contributed substantially to the profitability of their practices. Patients may have inadvertently been harmed, but the doctors knew that they benefited.

The Health Industry Pursues Profitable Tests and Treatment, not Causes and Cures

I was astounded a few years ago to read an article in the biomedical literature by a researcher who bemoaned the lack of interest in understanding the causes of diseases and the pursuit of cures. Public and private funds were only spent on patent-protected tests and treatments. I watched as the development and testing of fecal transplants demonstrated a safe and effective treatment for numerous diseases, and yet this approach was tracked down and caged by the health industry. I think broad use of this approach could save billions of health dollars, but there is no patent protection and minimal profit, so the approach was stiffled. The efficacy of fecal transplants also points directly at damaged gut flora (and antibiotics) as the cause of many diseases. Where is the public forum to discuss the use of public funds to promote approaches that are safe, effective, cheap, but without potential for proprietary exploitation? What will happen to simple cures, such as resistant starch and probiotics with Clostridium butyricum?

Is HealthKit Personal Data for Personal or Corporate Gain?

Will there be mechanisms for individuals to contribute their HealthKit data to large scale public health experiments to determine simple lifestyle, dietary and exercise approaches that can replace expensive and destructive pharmaceutical-based health industry approaches? HealthKit provides the potential to wrest health from the health industry. We will see if there is an app for that.

5 weight loss strategies to avoid in 2015

If youve resolved to lose weight this year, congratulations. Its a healthy goal. But how you go about it will have a lot to do with whether you succeed.

Dr. Aaron Michelfelder of Loyola University Health System is well acquainted with weight-loss strategies that work andthose that dont. Hes identified 5 in particular that he sees time and again but with poor results.

Bad strategy No. 1: losing weight at the gym.

Gym memberships soar in January because thats when many people decide to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Working out is good for your health and can help to maintain your weight. But exercise alone is not very effective in shedding unwanted pounds.

Michelfelder says most consumers have no idea how few calories are burned during exercise. Walking on a treadmill for a half hour, for example, will only burn about 200 calories. To lose weight, you will need to eat fewer calories each day. Its that simple.

Bad Strategy No. 2: dramatically changing your diet

Making an abrupt change in diet is not only not a good idea, Michelfelder says it is not even necessary. A better strategy? Try cutting a few hundred calories a day.

First, figure out where your break-even point is calorie-wise. For the average person it might be 2,200 to 2,500 calories a day. To lose a pound a week, consume about 500 fewer calories a day.

Reduce snacking and avoid high-calorie beverages. When going to a restaurant, eat an apple before dinner to dull your appetite, then skip the bread before the main dish arrives. Eat smaller portions and ask for a to-go container.

Bad Strategy No. 3: relying on weight-loss supplements

Michelfelder, a professor in the Department of Family Medicine of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, says supplements burn more muscle than fat. When you stop taking them, he warns you will gain back more fat than muscle, making you worse off than before you started taking them.

Bad Strategy No. 4: trying to lose it fast

Reality shows like The Biggest Loser may inspire the overweight and obese, but create the impression that slimming down can be done quickly. In most cases, it cant – at least, not if you want to keep it off.

Michelfelder says a more realistic -- and healthy -- strategy is to try to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. Remember, cutting back 500 calories a day, such as a bagel with cream cheese, will help you drop a pound a week.

Cant do 500 calories? Eliminate 250 calories a day and youll lose 2 pounds per month.

“This will provide the slow-and-steady type of weight loss that will be long-lasting,” Michelfelder said.

Bad Strategy No. 5: giving up

Its easy to become discouraged because losing weight is a process that takes place over an extended period of time. Most of us are accustomed to instant gratification. Weight loss doesnt work that way.

Michelfelder says you shouldnt stress if you dont drop down to a trim, normal weight, defined as a body mass index of between 18.5 and 24.9. If you are overweight or obese, he says losing 10% of your body weight will improve your appearance and have significant health benefits, such as lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of diabetes. Even losing as little as 5 pounds will be good for your joints.

As for structured programs, like Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig, Michelfelder says they can be effective – but more effective if you attend in person instead of participating online.

“For the New Year, most of us should add some weight loss to our resolutions,” Michelfelder said. “Obesity is now so common in the United States that it causes more disease and years of life lost than smoking.”
