Let's Do It Healthy

Slow down your eating. Have you ever eaten one of your favorite foods without really tasting it? Many of us lead busy lives, juggling work and family. We function on autopilot? And wind up overeating. Pay attention to your body's signals of hunger and fullness. Eat slowly. Put your fork down between bites. Turn off the TV and ignore the phone. Savoring a healthy meal is truly caring for you.

Want to tone your lower body, enhance circulation and strengthen your heart today? Ride your bike! Regular cycling also improves your cholesterol profile, lowers your blood pressure, reduces the risk of heart disease and colon cancer, and helps control your weight.

So-called "enhanced" drinks may have less than meets the eye. The amountof ginseng in your water, ginkgo in your iced tea or Echinacea in your juice is far below the recommended levels claimed to affect energy, memory, immunity or anything else. The problem for drink makers: Often, adding enough would affect taste.

Eating healthy doesn't mean you can never eat fast food again. The key understands what you're ordering. Grilled chicken sandwiches and salads with low-fat dressing are good choices to keep calories in check. Request nutrition information at the restaurant, which will help you make informed decisions. It may surprise you to learn a large burger with fries has more artery-clogging saturated fat than nutritional guidelines suggest you should eat in an entire day.

I was asked to find a daily food intake diary. Here is one I found. http://www.low-fat-recipes.com/downloads/

Anyone use one they like better?
