Health & Diet Tip:

Not quite in the shape you'd like to be?

1. Eat protein at every meal, including breakfast.

2. Eliminate wheat- and flour-based products for the time being. And yes, that definitely includes bread and pasta.

3. Eat unprocessed foods. Ninety percent of what you eat should be a combination of (in this order of importance) raw vegetables, steamed vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and maybe a few fruits if necessary.

4. Reduce starch to one portion a day, and don't eat that portion during your evening meal. Best choices are beans, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal.

5. Don't overdo fruit: one a day maximum, and only the low-sugar, high-fiber variety. Apples, pears, plums and berries all are good choices. For now, fruit should be eaten alone or with something light, like low fat nuts. Lose the fruit juice completely.

6. Reduce or eliminate dairy for the time being, especially cow's milk. Exceptions: reasonable amounts of low sugar, fat free yogurt.

7. Lose the booze. Despite what the 'studies' say, you lose no health benefits by giving up alcohol (including wine). There is nothing essential in alcohol that you can't get in fruits and vegetables without all the bad side effects that go along with it.

8. Stop using vegetable oils such as sunflower, safflower and corn. The supermarket kind is highly refined, and it oxidizes easily when heated, contributing to arterial plaque. Use olive oil instead, and apply it to food after the food is cooked when possible.

9. Watch which types of fat you're eating. The amount of fat you eat is probably less important than the kind of fat you eat. The worst are fried foods, margarine and foods that contain hydrogenized or partially hydrogenized oils. The best is omega-3, found in fish and flaxseed oil.

10. Obsessively drink water: At least 8 ounces for every 20 pounds of bodyweight you're now carrying around, each day. Every day. No excuses.

Your Pet's Nutrition & Weight Management

This is a picture of my dog Harley.

He is an Airedale X German Shepherd, and has been using Herbalife products for most of his life.

He has the most gentle nature, is always happy, and his attitude never changes.

He is an outside dog, so can get a little bedraggled sometimes from rolling in the dirt or picking up burrs, so he is certainly not spoilt.

HARLEYS WEIGHT LOSS STORY

Because he is so woolly I hadn’t noticed that he had put on some weight, and actually got to 43kgs/94lbs, which is a bit heavy for his size, and I didn’t want him putting unnecessary stress on his joints, so I put him on a weight-loss regime and reduced his weight to 36kgs/79lbs in 2 weeks.

A few weeks later I took him to the Vets for his annual injections, and there was a new Veterinarian on duty.

The Vet was patting him and commented on how magnificent his fur was… then he checked his heart… ears… joints, temperature etc. and said... “He is in excellent condition”

He also said he had beautiful teeth and that they were perfect. Finally he checked his eyes. He looked again, and said “He has slight glazing on the eyes.” I asked if that was a problem. He said “NO... it’s only just starting, but it usually occurs on much older dogs.

He then checked Harleys medical records Card, and said... “HOW old is this dog???”

I said “He’s 15” , to which he replied... “I’ve never seen anything like it. I thought he was a 3-5 year old dog. That is why I was surprised he was beginning to get glazing”

Pets ideal weight loss Program

HOW TO TAKE THE PROGRAM:

Just sprinkle over, or mix the #1 and the Herbal Concentrate with their pet food once a day...

#1 Nutrition Powder Doseage:
Small dog or cat = 1 to 2 teaspoons
Medium to Large dog = 2 to 4 teaspoons

Herbal Concentrate Doseage:
Small dog or cat = 1/2 teaspoon
Medium to Large dog = 1 teaspoon

IMPORTANT NOTES: Reduce the size of their meal... especially the dry food, as dry food puts on weight.

Remember that treats and throwing them your left over pizza etc. needs to STOP.

In other words, as with people... be careful what, and how much they eat.

Editor’s notes & Humour:

Why You Should Exercise Today … and Every Day

Your body is designed to be active. When you're sedentary - even for a day or two - it rapidly begins to deteriorate.

A paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reviewed over 100 different studies showing that a sedentary lifestyle causes widespread damage to your body, regardless of other risk factors.

In other words, you can eat right and live clean, but without physical exertion, your life will be short and sick.

Inactivity reduces the output of your heart and decreases your ability to use oxygen. It raises your blood pressure and cholesterol. Your muscles shrink, compromising your ability to burn fat.

Your bones become thin and weak. Your risk of cancer increases.

And your sensitivity to insulin drops, potentially leading to diabetes. Not a pretty picture.

But here's the good news. Just 15 minutes of challenging exercise several days a week can reverse decades of damage.

In his book The New Nutrition , Dr. Michael Colgan writes, "The average sedentary American male aged 45 has lost half his ability to take up and use oxygen. With one year of exercise, he can restore it to the level of a 25 year old."

The health benefits of being fit are vastly superior to any drug or medical treatment. Consider, for example, the many diabetics who have eliminated daily insulin injections just by engaging in exercise. Only 15 minutes a day can save your life. What will you do for your health today?

From The Mouths of Babes

JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: "Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?"

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, "If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six."

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom goodnight. "I love you so much, that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window."

BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a painkiller. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a childproof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: "How does it know it's me?

SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. "Please don't give me this juice again," she said, "It makes my teeth cough."

DIANE (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: "How much do I cost?"

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: "Why is he whispering in her mouth?"

CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, "I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?"

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt." Concerned, James asked: "What happened to the flea?"

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for awhile and then asked, "Why doesn't your skin fit your face?
