Laura _______________________________________________________ This Week's NUTRITION TIPS: _______________________________________________________ The Fish Advantage While many people enjoy eating fish and other seafood the benefits of just how good it is for you wasn't known until recent years. Since then fish has seen a boost in sales and more and more people are enjoying the benefits of this relatively inexpensive food. Fish can be prepared in so many different ways and can suit even the fussiest person's palette. Fish is very high in protein, making it a great choice for meals. Not only this, but fish has fewer calories than beef for the same amount of meat. Many people are trying to reduce the amount of calories that they eat but keep up their nutritional intake at the same time. Fish is the perfect food. High in protein, low in calories. Not many foods can boast this. However, you should be wary of using tartar sauce or other high calorie high fat sauces on your fish. Try to stick to herbs and simple marinades. Not only are fish high in protein, but they are also high in potassium, B-complex vitamins, selenium, iron, and many other trace minerals. Certain species of fatty fish also contain vitamin A and D. Fish is also very low in sodium, making it a very healthy choice. You can see why more and more doctors and nutritionists are recommending that people start eating more fish. Just try to stay away from the breaded, over-processed fish sticks you see in the freezer section of your local grocery store. You may have a doubt as to whether fish is high on cholesterol like other meats. Fish to your surprise is a relatively safe food as it contains very less cholesterol and saturated fats. Research indicates that certain fish varieties in fact help in the reduction of cholesterol, which makes it an ideal food when compared to other variety of meat. Fish varieties like the salmon and trout are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are one of the essential fatty acids that the body is in great need of. It is also found in flax seed oil. Many people take a supplement of the Omega-3 fatty acids to keep themselves well nourished. Supplements can be replaced with these types of fish which are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids to get your nutritional supply from a natural source. Omega-3 has been shown to be beneficial for a variety of health reasons. Some of these include high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, hardening of the arteries, arthritis, and even hair loss. There are many studies being done about the many positive effects of omega-3 fatty acids. Just one more reason to incorporate fish into your diet. The other good news about fish is that it's quite inexpensive. Wild salmon and halibut may cost a bit more, but in general fish is easy on the food budget. You can create all kinds of tasty meals with fish, and your children will love many of them. Fish has become an ideal choice of people who want to eat a healthy diet. But be aware when you add butter or creamy sauces as they can drastically increase the calories in your diet. Fish is very easy to prepare and many delicious recipes can be prepared with fish for taste and health. ---------------------- About the author: Brent Symmonds is the chief editor for Fish HH, the web's premier resource for information about <a href="http://srv.ezinedirector.net/?n=811124&s=22882856 For more articles on fish visit: http://srv.ezinedirector.net/?n=811125&s=22882856 ---------------------------------------------------- That concludes this week's Nutrition Tip. >> Read on for the Exercise Tip. << _______________________________________________________ RECOMMENDED NUTRITIONAL READING: Outwit Your Weight: Fat-Proof Your Life With More Than 200 Tips, Tools, and Techniques to Help You Defeat Your Diet Danger Zones by Cathy Nonas, RD, Julia Vantine (Contributor) Cathy knows the secret to successful weight loss as she has shared the secret with thousands of her clients, who have lost thousands of pounds between them.

Yet, tomorrow has come and gone, and you still haven??™t starting moving. So, what??™s holding you back? What excuse seems fitting today? It??™s time to face your excuses head-on so that you can overcome them and choose to live a healthier lifestyle. Here are some of the most common excuses for skipping exercise along with ways to combat them. I Don??™t Have Time: This if by far one of the most common excuses used. But, it still doesn??™t hold water. People that use this excuse are actually saying that exercise is not enough of a priority to make it on their weekly to-do list. If you fall into this category, then it??™s time to review your daily priority list. Certainly there is something less important that you are doing for 20 minutes every day that can be replaced with exercise. After all, exercise is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family to ensure that you live a long, full, disease- free life. I??™ve Tried And Failed In The Past: It??™s true that it can be difficult to get motivated to try something after you??™ve failed before, but isn??™t your health worth another try? If you??™ve been unsuccessful at exercising in the past, then re-evaluate what went wrong. Did you try to do too much, too quickly? It??™s very common for new exercises to be overzealous when starting their workouts and end up either burning out or getting injured early on. Did you set unrealistic goals for yourself? Try to stick with small goals that are truly achievable. For example, that you will workout three times per week for the next month. I Can??™t Afford A Gym Membership: You don??™t have to spend a single minute in a gym in order to lose weight or get fitter. Just walking outside is a great place to start. Also, home fitness equipment has become very affordable and accessible. For as little as $30 you can buy some great home equipment that will really challenge your body. A resistance band and an exercise ball allow you to work every muscle group and even get a cardiovascular workout. I??™m Too Fat (or out-of-shape): Unless your physician has forbidden exercise, then it??™s very unlikely that this excuse has any validity. If you are extremely out-of-shape, then you simply need to start with baby steps. Walking is always a great place to start. You may have to start with just five minutes. That??™s okay. You can gradually add more time each week. If walking is not an option, then you could try some pool exercises. At the very least, you can start by getting active while sitting. There are many beneficial strength training exercises you can do while sitting. I Don??™t Have Any Exercise Equipment: Nice try, but it doesn??™t require special equipment to get your heart pumping. Don??™t underestimate what you can do with things that are already in your house. For example, if you have a flight of stairs in your house then you??™ve got an awesome way to get your heart rate up with through walking or running the stairs. Grab soup cans or milk jugs filled with sand to immolate dumbbells for strength training exercises. Try push-ups and triceps dips and you??™ll quickly realize how hard your body has to work when just using it??™s own weight. I Don??™t Know What Exercises To Do: There are literally dozens of ways to learn what exercises will help you. A great way to ensure your workouts are most effective is to hire a personal trainer or an online personal trainer. They can guide you every step of the way so that you don??™t waste any time doing exercises the wrong way. Also, there are books, online websites, television shows and videos that offer loads of advice and tips. I??™m Too Old To Get Started: It may sound clich?©, but you are never too old to get started. Everyone can benefit from exercising. Even if you are a senior citizen you can reap many rewards from starting an exercise program. Okay, so maybe you won??™t be a marathon runner or a bodybuilder, but you??™ll be able to walk the stairs easier, play with your grandchildren, improve your balance, improve your strength and more. I Just Can??™t Get Motivated: Don??™t view exercise as a lifetime evil. Set small, short-term goals to help you get started. Start with a promise to just take the stairs instead of the elevator, for example. Then you might move onto scheduling 10 minutes of activity a couple of times per week. Also, make a list of all the positive benefits exercising has on your life. Your list might include giving you more energy, reducing your health ailments and more. The list should be pretty long. Post it somewhere that you will see it regularly and it can serve as a reminder to you as to why you need to workout. I Hate Exercising: You probably think you hate it because you??™ve been stuck doing activities that you don??™t enjoy. Many people still have the old ???no pain, no gain??? mentality and think that in order for exercise to be worthwhile you have to be miserable doing it. This just isn??™t true. Consider things that you really like to do. Do you prefer competitive situations? Then consider joining a recreational sports team. Do you enjoy spending time alone? Maybe Yoga or evening walks are for you? I??™m Too Tired: This excuse can create a vicious circle because the more sedentary you are then the more tired you become. Of course, the more tired you are then the less appealing exercise sounds. So, try to nip this in the bud quickly. Exercise can actually make you feel more revived then a nap. Regular physical activity increases your energy level. Plus, exercises tend to sleep fall asleep faster and sleep better, which allows you to truly feel rested every day. When you find yourself making an excuse not to exercise, read through some of the above tips again. And, remind yourself of all the many benefits of working out: lower body fat, decreased risk of many diseases, reduced instances of depression, improved bone density, reduced risk of injuries and many more. ---------------------- About the author: Lynn Bode is a certified personal trainer specializing in Internet-based fitness programs.
