I normally don't eat breakfast either - but I noticed I tend to eat more during lunch 'cause by then am so hungry. So by eating breakfast- I don't eat more than I should during lunchtime.

Health Tip of the Day: How to Look Younger? - Secret # 4

4. Eat Adequate, High Quality Protein

"In my efforts to find answers to why we age, I reasoned that if aging and sagging skin are characterized by the breakdown of our cells, the antidote to aging might be cellular repair. Protein is essential to cellular repair. The building blocks of our cells are composed of amino acids. As protein is digested, it breaks down to amino acids, which are then utilized by the cells to repair themselves. Without adequate protein, our bodies enter into an accelerated aging mode.

This simple fact of life can change the way you look -- beginning during your next meal. If your cells do not have complete availability of all the essential amino acids, cellular repair will not only be incomplete, but it will be much slower than it should be." -Dr. Nicholas Perricone

5. Avoid Fat Free or Low Fat Diets

This is not a blanket endorsement to run out to the nearest quarter-pounder with cheese. I am recommending essential fatty acids, such as those found in wild Alaskan salmon, nuts and seeds. Make sure you include the essential fats at every meal. Why? Because of the following: ...


It takes the right fats to burn fats in our body
Essential fatty acids keep our skin soft, supple and radiant
EFA's enhance moisture retention from within
EFA's assist in the repair of the natural moisture barrier of the skin
In addition, EFA's provide great protection to the body's major organ systems and the immune system.

Health Tip of the Day: Friendly Fats

Avocados, nuts, olives, and seeds -- even if you have high cholesterol, don't give 'em up.

In case you haven't quite gotten the whole fat thing down yet, unsaturated fats are your friends when it comes to lowering bad LDL cholesterol and raising good HDL cholesterol. So if your salad looks a little dull tonight, make your stomach and your arteries happy: Toss in some walnuts, sunflower seeds, or avocado and use a dressing made with olive oil. Then, eat up.

Health Tip of the Day: Remember Not to Forget

Where did you put the remote? A bad memory may not be the problem.

Instead of remembering too little, you may be remembering too much. All that information -- especially the useless kind -- can clutter up your brain. The real key to a good memory is being selective: retaining the relevant and discarding the unimportant. Whether you can actually retrain your brain is unknown, but don't forget to give it a try!

Health Tip of the Day: 7 Foods that Cure (#1)

#1. Bean dieting?

Beans are a great source of protein and fiber and are extremely filling, keeping you full longer and helping to decrease obesity. Additionally, The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study in November 2005 reporting that a healthy diet rich in lean protein -- about half from plant sources such as beans -- was found to lower blood pressure and "bad" LDL cholesterol, and to cut the risk of heart disease by 21 percent. This magical fruit is full of antioxidants and in some studies has been shown to reduce the risk of colon cancer.
