The market is hearing your demands and listening. For further explanation, read Nutriton Tips below. The Exercise Tips is a continuation from last week. The question posed last week was "Would you like to get healthy and fit, relieve stress, look good, feel better, and have great energy and vitality?" Read the Exercise Tip for some more great information on Tai Chi and Qigong! Best of health! Laura _______________________________________________________ This Week's NUTRITION TIPS: _______________________________________________________ FOOD NEWS YOU CAN USE The trend of low-carb foods is being silently and steadfastly replaced by a trend for lower calories, better consumer awareness and more sensible eating. Coca-Cola North America announced that it will introduce Diet Coke Sweetened with Splenda. This new version will be sweetened with Splenda and acesulfame potassium (ace-K). Regular Diet Coke will remain the same. For more information visit: http://srv.ezinedirector.net/?n=756348&s=22882856 Kraft's Sensible Solution Flag for "better for you" choices will contain specific information about a product's key nutritional benefits. Among the products that will carry the flag are: -Kraft 2% Milk Shredded Reduced-Fat cheese -Post Shredded Wheat -Minute Rice Instant whole-grain brown rice -Triscuit Original baked whole-grain wheat crackers -Crystal Light beverages A product can qualify in one of two ways for the Sensible Solution flag: * By providing beneficial nutrients such as protein, calcium, fiber or whole grains or by delivering a functional benefit such as heart health or hydration while staying within limits on calories, fat (including saturated and trans fats), sodium and sugar. * By meeting specifications for "reduced", "low" or "free" in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar or sodium. NOTE: Not all of these items are low in fat or sodium. We applaud the Shredded Wheat Cereal for being whole-grain cereal with no added salt or sugar and the instant brown rice as being easy to prepare. But the Kraft cheese is high in sodium (250 mg per slice) and many of the Triscuits contain 30% calories from fat (0 trans fat) and are as calorie dense as many cookies (120 calories per ounce). For more information visit: http://srv.ezinedirector.net/?n=756349&s=22882856 Kraft has improved the nutrition labels for small packages of foods that look like one serving but contain 2 to 4 servings such as Ritz Crackers. The new labels will provide nutrition information for the contents of the entire package. In addition, the total number of servings will be stated on the front of the package. Wendy's International Inc. said it will allow customers to forgo French fries included in its combo meals in favor of chili, a baked potato or a salad at no extra charge. For more information on Wendy's products visit: http://srv.ezinedirector.net/?n=756350&s=22882856 A new study by Jean Welsh of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, published in the February issue of Pediatrics, found that for 3- and 4-year olds already on the heavy side, drinking something sweet once or twice a day doubled their risk of becoming seriously overweight a year later. The 2005 U.S. dietary guidelines urge consumers away from juice, suggesting whole fruit instead. The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans can be found at http://srv.ezinedirector.net/?n=756351&s=22882856 under Special Initiatives.

Shared by Eighty Million People! by Al Simon --- PART 2 --- - How Do I Learn Tai Chi and Qigong? There are three main options for learning Tai Chi and Qigong and getting these great benefits: classes, learn-at-home programs, and the Web. - Finding Classes With the increasing popularity of these arts, you may find classes in your local area. Classes with a certified instructor are one of the easiest ways to get your start in these great arts. To find these classes, check with martial arts schools, community centers, parks and recreation programs, colleges, spiritual centers, dance studios, and even New Age bookstores. When choosing a class, one of the best ways to find out if it is right for you is to visit in person. Most teachers will let you at least observe and maybe even participate in a beginners class. Attend this introductory class, and ask yourself if you believe the students are gaining benefits that you would like to have. Also ask yourself if you like to work with this teacher and these students on an extended basis. Finally, check the qualifications of the teacher. Teachers should have certification or teaching credentials from the persons who taught them. In addition, they should also have practiced Tai Chi or Qigong for a minimum of ten years to have enough knowledge to be able to teach effectively. Beyond this, look for other recognitions, such as a Professional Level membership by the National Qigong Association. - Learn-at-Home Programs If you are a self-motivated individual, or if you are having trouble finding local classes, a learn-at-home program is a good way to get started. The greatest benefit to this approach is that you can learn right in the comfort of your own home at your own convenience. Looking for a learn-at-home program is the similar to looking for a class. You want thorough instruction that will give you the benefits you want and that is taught by well-qualified instructors. Unless you are experienced in learning movements one your own (e.g., from fitness or dance type videos), stick to programs that teach easy Qigong and Tai Chi styles. Learn-at-home programs usually involve books or videos, or a combination of the two. A program that combines both will be easier to learn that a program that just has a book or just has a video. A book by itself is limited to text and still images. This static format is not the best medium for presenting movement exercises. A video better shows the movements, but by themselves, videos tend to be less detailed than books. So combining a book and video will give you more thorough instruction. An even better solution than the book/video is an eBook (electronic book). An eBook is a program that you can download to your personal computer. It combines the text and still images from a book with the audio and video - all into one seamless format right on your computer. You can read about a particular Tai Chi or Qigong exercise, examine the still images, watch it on video, then dive into the movement details - all right from one location with a few clicks of your mouse. As of this writing, there is only one Tai Chi and Qigong program that takes full advantage of this state-of-the-art eBook presentation format. However, we predict that more will be on the way soon. To learn more about this program, you can visit this page on the Web at http://srv.ezinedirector.net/?n=756357&s=22882856 - On The World Wide Web Speaking of the Web, while there are lots of Tai Chi and Qigong Web sites, there are relatively few "teach-yourself" sites on the Web. One way to find the few that are available is to enter the words "Free Tai Chi" into a search engine such as Google (www.google.com) and surf through the resulting entries. Through my own Web site, I teach some simple Qigong and Tai Chi exercises that you can learn online. They are a good way to get an introduction to these arts at no cost. Just visit www.cloudwater.com for more information. However you decide to learn Tai Chi and Qigong - classes, learn- at-home programs, or on the Web - I'm sure you'll enjoy all the great benefits these arts have to offer. After all, who doesn't want to be healthy and fit, relieve stress, look good, feel better, and have great energy and vitality? Well, Tai Chi and Qigong can give you all this and more!
