Fat is the one you use to hear the most about. Now diets are focusing more on the other two - carbohydrates and protein. But where should the focus really be? The Nutrition Tip should help you determine this. The Exercise Tip article will help you come up with a unique Mother's Day gift idea. It is just around the corner - give Mom something different this year! Best of Health! Laura _______________________________________________________ This Week's NUTRITION TIP: _______________________________________________________ FOOD NEWS YOU CAN USE * Keep Your Shopping Cart Low in Fat * Many consumers are concerned with eating too many carbohydrates, as seen by the increase in low-carb foods in the grocery store. (1) What they may not realize, however, is that fat is the number-one macronutrient to keep in tow if you want to lose weight. When you eat too many calories, your body stores the fat calories you eat as body fat. Further, a newly discovered hormone, ghrelin, which causes the feeling of hunger, is reduced when you eat foods that are high in carbohydrate and low in fat. Here are some shopping tips to help keep your fat consumption low: - Keep an eye on low-carb foods. Many of these are made lower in carbohydrate by increasing their fat content. - Watch out for high-fat processed foods. These include frozen entrees, baked goods and boxed meals. many of these are high in fat or call for the addition of a lot of fat in preparation. - Be aware of the fat content of condiments such as mayonnaise and salad dressings. - Choose light margarine instead of regular margarine or butter. - Try some new flavored vinegars for use on salads and steamed veggies so you will use less oil. - Fill your cart with more fruits and vegetables. These are naturally low in fat and high in fiber. - Choose low-fat or non-fat versions of dairy products including skim milk, fat-free sour cream, fat-free half and half and reduced-fat cheese. - Choose lean cuts of meat and use white meat poultry without the skin. - Limit your purchases of high-fat treats like doughnuts, cookies, baked goods and chips. These palatable foods are just too tempting! * What is Healthful Food, Anyway? * Take a walk in the aisles of your local grocery store and you are likely to be overwhelmed with choices. Manufacturers are more sophisticated than ever in touting their wares as healthful. The low-carb craze has now replaced the fat-free craze. There are soy products, organic products, healthy requests and choices, leaner cuisine items and more. Some items also offer fun - such as ketchup with crazy colors. And still others offer more convenience such as lunch in a box. Upon reading the Nutrition Facts label for these products, we find that most have added sugar, fat, saturated fat and sodium. They are also expensive when compared to items in their raw states. The bottom line for finding healthful food is very simple. If it looks like it comes from a farm versus a factory, then it is most likely a great choice for a staple item. This includes fruits, vegetables, rice, beans, oatmeal, barley and whole-wheat products. The animal products are best when very lean. This means egg whites versus whole eggs, lean meat, white poultry without the skin, fish and non-fat dairy products. Chances are, if your grandmother could buy it, then it is a good choice! Finally, expert advisor, Dr. James Kenney, has this advice for protein, "There is no amount of chicken or fish that will not raise LDL, but I would agree most people can eat modest amounts of white meat poultry without the skin and fish and still keep their LDL in the acceptable range. However, these modest amounts will do little to raise iron stores, so I still vote for beans and clams."

I'm sure you know at least one, if not more. Sure, flowers can always brighten a Mom's day and a dinner out is always appreciated. But, doesn't she deserve something more personal, something that won't wilt and something that lasts longer than an evening? This year give that special woman a gift that will improve her well being. I'm talking about the gift of fitness. Improved fitness is a gift that is invaluable to everyone. After all, what woman does not want to look better, have more energy, and be healthier? Plus, all Moms need to take time for themselves, but most are reluctant to schedule that "me" time. So, give them a gift that will help encourage them to enjoy some alone time. When you give a woman the gift of fitness, you are helping her open a door to better health (both physically and mentally). I can't think of a more thoughtful gift that shows the recipient how much you care about their well being. By giving the gift of fitness you are providing them with unlimited health benefits. And, it's a gift that you can truly feel proud to give. Of course, we all know that exercise can help people stay slim and fit. But, do you also know about all the other great benefits of exercising? Daily physical activity reduces stress and can help you sleep better. Fitness has been linked to reducing the risk of some diseases and to warding off depression. Researchers also believe that strength training can help prevent osteoporosis. Not to mention that exercise also improves self- esteem, increases stamina and ultimately helps you be able to do continuous work for longer. All Moms would find these fitness benefits incredibly invaluable. If she is like most of us, she's probably even mentioned how she would like to drop a few pounds or just get in better shape. By giving the gift of fitness you are helping provide her with extra motivation (which is one of the biggest obstacles in getting fit). She may be more motivated to actually get fit because she doesn't want to feel guilty for ignoring such a thoughtful gift (personal training gift certificates and gym memberships are especially good for helping with motivation). While fitness gifts are incredibly valuable, they don't have to be expensive. Gifts can cost as little as $5 or range into the $100s of dollars. Here are a few suggestions in the various price ranges: Under $15: . Resistance Band . Dumbbells . Jump Rope . Exercise Mat $15 - $35 . Fitness Ball . Online Personal Training Program (custom designed for the gift recipient) . Home Exercise Video . Heart Rate Monitor Over $35 . Full dumbbell and barbell set . BOSU . Bicycle . Yoga Kit Giving something that supports health and wellness will be appreciated for years to come and may even turn someone's life around. The gift of fitness will make her feel special - she'll know that someone cared enough to give her the opportunity to improve her health. And, giving a gift that will help someone lead a healthier life is also one of the most rewarding gifts you can give. So why spend another Mother's Day searching for the perfect gift only to end up with the same old things? Surprise her this year and give the gift that comes from the heart and truly keeps on giving throughout summer and beyond. ---------------------- About the author: About the author: Lynn Bode is a certified personal trainer specializing in Internet-based fitness programs.

Lodge Turn back your biological clock. A breakthrough book for men--as much fun to read as it is persuasive--Younger Next Year draws on the very latest science of aging to show how men 50 or older can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, and continue to live like fifty-year-olds until well into their eighties. To enjoy life and be stronger, healthier, and more alert. To stave off 70% of the normal decay associated with aging (weakness, sore joints, apathy), and to eliminate over 50% of all illness and potential injuries. This is the real thing, a program that will work for anyone who decides to apply himself to "Harry's Rules." ORDER NOW!
