Eating Healthy for your Heart

Eating Healthy for your Heart

Your heart is one of the most important organs in the body, and the foods you put into your mouth effect how your heart operates. If you want your heart to be strong and able to pump blood as well as possible all over your body, it is important for you to eat a healthy diet. Heart-healthy foods are readily available in the supermarket, so choose some that work for your personal likes and you should be able to help prevent heart disease in your own body.
Cholesterol is the most important thing when it comes to eating heart-healthy foods. There are both good cholesterols and bad cholesterols. Good cholesterols are called HDL, and their job in the body is to take excess bad cholesterol (LDL) to the liver, where it can be broken down and then will leave the body. LDL is actually not needed by your body at all from foods. Our bodies make enough of this kind of cholesterol on its own. It is the LDL cholesterol that hurts our hearts, not the HDL cholesterol, which actually helps our hearts be reducing the amount of LDL cholesterol in the body.
LDL stands for low-density lipoproteins. Because this substance has a low density, it does not flow through the blood stream as readily as it should. The red blood cells easily release the LDL cholesterol and it sticks to the walls of your blood vessels, especially in the arteries leading to your heart. This is bad for a number of reasons.

First, when the LDL cholesterol builds up on your arteries, it reduces the amount of blood that can fit through at a time, since the artery becomes smaller. That means your heart has to pump harder and faster in order to allow the same amount of blood to flow through your body. Over time, this makes your heart tired and not as strong. In the worst-case scenario, the blood vessel becomes so built up with LDL cholesterol that your artery could close completely. When this happens, your heart essentially panics because it is not getting the blood it needs and it starts beating rapidly to try to pump the blood. This causes a heart attack.
You can also have a heart attack from LDL cholesterol build up if a piece of the build-up, called plaque, breaks off and floats down the blood stream. When it reaches a smaller part of the blood vessel, it will get stuck and block the blood, which again causes a heart attack. If the piece of plaque travels to the brain instead of the heart, it will cause a blockage in this area of the body, which in turn causes a stroke. Therefore, it is simply important to cut out of your diet the foods high in cholesterol so that you can prevent heart disease and other problems in the body.

Healthy Lunches with Style

Lunch is an important meal in your day, so don’t skip it, even if you are tempted to do so. Many people believe that eating a big breakfast means that lunch is unnecessary, but that’s simply not the case. When you don’t eat lunch, you are more likely to snack during the day on unhealthy foods or overeat at suppertime. Your body also becomes depleted of nutrients when you skip lunch, so it s better for you to always eat lunch, even if it means making a bit of extra free time available in your day. However, there are ways in which you can ensure that your lunch is fairly healthy, no matter what your specific needs.

If you are at work or school over lunchtime, you can save lots of money by carrying a lunch rather than grabbing lunch from a fast food restaurant or other food source. Your own meals will also be more nutritious and, in many cases, tastier. If you are not a morning person, packing a lunch doesn’t mean that you have to wake up earlier to prepare this. Simply pack it the night before. Many food choices can help you to pack a lunch that will be the envy of your coworkers. The alternative way is to take a convenient and delicious Herbalife shake.
You can also consider stopping at a supermarket and picking up frozen diet meals for lunch as well. These meals are usually low in fat and high in nutrition and come in enough varieties for you to have a different lunch every day of the year. This option is sometimes a bit more expensive than making and packing your own lunch, but it can still be fairly inexpensive. Remember to look at the packaging to determine the best frozen meals for you. Some are not made for those looking for a healthy diet, and although they may taste good, they will be full of preservatives and calories.
You can also stock your desk at work with healthy lunch choices in order to save time. Lots of foods come in non-perishable varieties, which can easily fit into your desk and be microwaved with water when it comes time to eat lunch. Try soups, pretzels, crackers with peanut butter, cereal bars, or instant oatmeal for lunchtime at the office.
When you have to eat out, such as if you are meeting an associate or client for lunch, make healthy food choices. Avoid skipping lunch altogether just to have a meeting. Instead, see if your company will chip in to pay for the client’s meal. Usually, companies are more than happy to reimburse you or provide a company credit card or tab information. Good choices for lunch include light meals, like wraps, sandwiches with wheat bread and light on the spreads, salads with light dressing, and fruit. Avoid fast food, pizza, and bulky meals, like pasta for lunch, unless you plan to b very active during the afternoon at work.

Herbalife Nutrition to Help Sinus Problems

Dairy products such as milk, cheese, and butter should be avoided because they all contain lactose and dairy is a sugar and sugar contains yeast which can be bad for the sinuses and led to sinus problems and infections. Rice milk or soy milk and milk products should be used instead. Soy milk may also thicken mucus though so rice milk is best when you may have a sinus infection. Eating more dark green vegetables full of antioxidants is a good idea as well. Also, eating smaller meals eaten more frequently may also be good and it helps build energy as well. Avoiding sugary foods and other foods that contain yeast such as cakes, biscuits, doughnuts and frosting as well as chocolate may contribute to sinus problems and infections as well, so it is best to limit these foods especially when you have an infection. Replacing these foods with sugar free candy or cake or foods that use rice flour instead of regular flour may help.

It is also good for sinus problems as well as for your overall health to get plenty of water to flush out bacteria and waste. It is also a good idea to get plenty of rest and daily exercise to keep our immune systems strong.

Knowing what foods to avoid and what foods may help our sinuses will help us to feel better and have less headaches, pressure, coughing, congestion and fever. So make sure to eat a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables as well as plenty of water. This may just help limit your sinus problems and help you to feel better now and in the future.

HOW TO MAKE A HERBALIFE MEAL & TEA

One of the most amazing breakthrough's in the Healthy Nutrition world is that the Herbalife Shake meal concept can be used for, not only Losing Weight, "LWP", by replacing 2 meals, for example: replaces breakfast & dinner, (the average weightloss for those who are serious is between 3 - 5kgs).

It is also for shaping up/maintaining weight "SHP", replacing one meal (for example breakfast), for those who just want good healthy nutrition, or those who have lost the unwanted kg's/cm's, and now want to maintain, especially if u wanna look as close as possible to the lady on the left...for the rest of your life!! (And I pray none of you guys do! LOL)

GWP means with a completely different method, the same meal "shakes" can also assist someone with the target of gaining weight, used as a supplement instead of replacement.

Here's an informative video clip of how to make a "shake":
