Let's Talk About Some Healthy Products

Looking to lose weight and feel better? I will talk about a few products that you can find online and start feeling much better. CLICK HERE

First let us talk about shakes. You can find soy shakes, protein shakes and milk shakes in many flavors. Take a shake twice a day instead of two meals. In other words, use a shake to substitute a meal. Should be one for breakfast and another for either lunch or dinner. Your choice.

For snacking you can find low-carb protein bars, soy bars, soy nuts and milk bars. When you are dieting make sure to eat your 3 meals, but also have about 2-3 snacks during the day.

Since you have already taken the steps necessary to lose weight then why don't you also have healthy hair, skin and nails with vitamins to help you achieve great results. CLICK HERE

The last thing you need is to drink plenty of water. Keep a gallon of water in your fridge, so when you need to, it is ready for you. You need to drink water, so the waste that your body does not need and use could be flushed away with water. If you are not a water drinker then you may add some lemon to make it taste better for you. I have lost 20 and have kept it off for 2 years and counting. I believe that the water was the main thing that helped me.

Would like to hear from you on your results. Don't give up!!! You may eat anything you want just watch your portions. Smaller portions will work much better. I don't have to tell you what items you need to cut, I think that you already know which items I am talking about. Have fun!!

Iron Supplements

You tend to feel tired when your iron levels are low. It can be verified with a simple blood test. If with food you cannot get your levels at a good range then iron supplements can be taken, but only if you first talk with your Doctor.

Be careful with taking too much iron because it has been linked to death.

You can find all forms of iron supplements in supermarkets and drugstores. Just look for the one that is best for you. A prescription is not needed.

Men and women who engage in intense exercise may have low stores of iron in their body. They need to take in more foods with iron and also vitamin C to keep it balanced.

The upper limit per day for adults and teenagers 14-18 is 45mg. The limit for children per day is 40 mg. Do not go over these amounts because it will cause iron toxication that will lead to death.

How Important Is Protein In Your Diet

Protein gives you energy. Without protein your body would burn down within a day or two. How much protein should you take in each day? Here is a simple way to calculate the daily intake of protein. Take your body weight and multiply it by either .8 for kilograms or .37 for pounds. The result is the minimum amount per day in grams. There has not been any indication that too much protein can affect you, unless you have kidney disease.

Whey protein can help with weight loss. It controls appetite. By controlling appetite, your weight loss will stay off longer because of the protein that you included in your diet. Some foods that contain protein are as follows: eggs, meat, peanut butter and dairy products.

There are many forms of protein items. You can find protein bars, shakes, and protein powder.

Taking Care of Cholesterol

Having high cholesterol can cause blocked arteries which in turn can cause heart disease. The buildup on the arteries is called plaque. If the artery is blocked, that prevents the flow of blood to reach your heart. There is low density, which is bad and high density, which is good cholesterol. We need both types to have a healthy heart. Sometimes just by adding exercise and diet to your routine you can help keep the levels on target. If that does not work, then you may need a supplement. Ask your Doctor.

Not only does garlic help lower high blood pressure, prevents blood clots, kills bacteria and fungus, but it is also a great supplement to improve heart health. By eating right, you would not need to take any additional supplements or medicines to keep your cholesterol levels just right.
