Health & Diet Tip:

Don’t stress

Vacations and meals out are intended to be enjoyment, not torture. If you do go a little overboard, it’s important not to beat yourself up over it. Forgive yourself and get on with life. Simply use that experience to learn where you can improve the next time you are in that situation.

With the right approach, eating out can be a pleasurable experience. Remember, a successful diet is a lifelong lifestyle modification. You need to be able to incorporate healthful eating out activities into your routine.

What happens if you DO stress? Add extra activities to your schedule. Swim some laps. Walk or jog. Leave your wallet in the trunk and go to a mall for a shop-walk. Take a tour. Visit a museum. Enjoy a park and feed the ducks. Just get out, focus on something else and enjoy life.

It’s all in the portions

Most restaurants offer half-sizes (at smaller prices). If these are not listed on the menu, just ask, and your request will more than likely be accommodated. Restaurant portions are significantly larger than actual portion sizes; a half-size will more than adequately replace your normal meal size.

There’s no rule that you must order your meal from the entrée list. Peruse the appetizer menu for attractive (and smaller) options. You can also create a delicious and unique meal by combining various side dishes.

Alternately, you can request your doggie bag in advance. If they don’t offer to package half your meal for you, decide for yourself (before you begin eating) what an appropriate portion size is and wrap up the remainder.

A doggie bag leaves you something delicious to look forward to the next day. Place it under your seat so it won’t present a temptation while you’re enjoying your current meal.

Fill up on the good stuff

Drink plenty of water before you leave for the restaurant, and while you wait for the food to arrive. This will help fill you up and prevent hunger-inspired indulgences.

Request your salad (and/or soup, if it’s not creamy) be brought out first, and dig in. By the time your food arrives, you should be able to more rationally determine what portion sizes are appropriate, and if anything needs to be avoided.

Dreaded desserts

First of all, do not order dessert until you are completely finished with your meal. You may be full and not want anything. And that’s certainly not a crime!

After the meal, if everyone is splurging on the dessert menu, keep in mind that you don’t have to join in just to be part of the “gang.” Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea to end your meal. Or ask someone to split a dessert with you. Hint: Doggie bags can also be used for desserts! So split it in half and take part home for another day or your neighbor.

You have to be left out of choosing a neat dessert, either. See if the kitchen can put together a fruit bowl or a sorbet dish to satisfy your cravings without putting all your conscientious work at dinner to waste. This might be something to call ahead about..hint!

Distract yourself

Vacations should be a luxurious time to indulge oneself and have fun. Though it does lead to eating out more often, it also removes many of the day’s temptations: you won’t be wandering over to the kitchen when you’re bored, or overindulging at the grocery store and then feeling “obligated” to eat what you’ve bought. Spend time in the pool, on the sand, and at the shops, not at the restaurants.

Most vacation hot spots are ideal for eating on the go; you can pick up a small meal from a roadside vendor and eat it while walking the boardwalk and enjoying the sights and sounds.

Don’t make food about suffering. If the smell of saltwater taffy engulfs you, treat yourself-to one. Having a small amount will indulge your craving without compromising your diet. Better yet, after you buy your taffy, don’t begin eating it until you’ve walked far enough away to avoid being tempted by the smell.

Try making a rule like, “If I eat, I need to enjoy a fun activity, too: a walk, bike ride, swim, tennis, putt-putt, etc.” Then coordinate daily “pairings” or events with meal planning. Life, including vacations, does not have to be all about food. Nor does it have to focus on food.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Reduce Risk of AMD

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of central vision loss in the elderly. Treatments are limited and hope lies in reducing the risk of the disease and preventing its development. A study reported at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, in Florida, May, 2003, provides new data supporting the effects of diet and nutrients, in lowering the risks of having a type of AMD that leads to blurred vision, and in severe cases, blindness.

The study, carried out by Dr. IP SanGiovanni and colleagues, from the National Eye Institute, in Bethesda MD, showed, that after taking into account other nutrient and non nutrient factors, that may affect the risk of AMD, a higher intake of omega n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) and fish was associated with decreased risk of having neovascular AMD.

Approximately 1.7 million people over 64, suffer from the severe form AMD, that leads to blindness. The macula is an area located in the center of the retina and is responsible for fine and detailed central vision. The degenerative changes associated with AMD include alterations in the retinal tissues and atrophy of the cells, that account for a number of different types of AMD, and the formation of new blood vessels (neovacularization) under the retina, that accounts for another type, called neovascular AMD, where leaking blood vessels distort the retina and cause blurred vision and loss of eye sight.

The studies indicate an independent association between fish intake and omega-3 fatty acids intake and neovascular AMD, showing that high intake of fish, or omega-3 fatty acids, halves- the risk of having the disease.

Lifeline - a nutritional marine lipid complex (fish oil) supplement

Many people take a cod liver oil capsule and feel they have covered one nutritional corner at least. Nowadays, our busy and often stressful lifestyles mean this may no longer be sufficient.

Lifeline enables you to benefit from the fruits of the sea; it is formulated to help maintain supply joints, support the natural function of the heart and circulation, while the antioxidant ingredients help support the immune system.

Key Ingredient Properties

Vitamin E

• Fat soluble antioxidant vitamin which helps reduce the risk of oxidation damage.

• Assists the natural regulation of body temperature.

Editor’s notes & Humour:

A New Year, A New You, A New Goals Plan.....

It's time to take a glass of your favourite beverage and celebrate the start of a New Year!

Aaaaargh! Not more New Year Resolutions to fail yet again, you say ….

Albert Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.”

Why do you expect changes if you keep setting goals the same way?

Here are the action steps for success at last this New Year:

1) Start out small. Don't think about huge sweeping changes that you want. Break big goals into smaller chunks that you can achieve individually in 30-60 day stages or goal steps.

2) Become resolved and committed to your goals by writing them down and signing your name to them. You need a genuine CONTRACT with yourself to believe you can do it and believe that you are truly committed to success this time. Decorate a picture board or page of your diary with your Goal statements and IMAGES from magazines or computer clip file that help you to visualize and SEE your success in your mind’s eye. Practice experiencing how you will FEEL emotionally when you have achieved this goal.

3) Read your goals out loud every day and ask yourself what behavior and actions are needed today to achieve them. Study the pictures you have collected to reinforce what your life will look & feel like when you have achieved your goals. In the past you made goals but you got “busy” and those goals were quickly forgotten. Remind yourself daily of your goals so that you stay on track.

4) Take the action steps you decided on for that day. Break it down into as many chunks as you need to on your “To Do” list to make it fit in with your other plans for the day. Carry over some goal actions to the next day only if you must, but ALWAYS take SOME ACTION to move you one step closer to your Goals and your Success EVERY SINGLE DAY. Every inch you move forward gets you closer to your goal.

5) At the end of your day, read your goal again out loud and ask yourself if you did everything you could to achieve it. Plan any necessary adjustments on your actions you need to make the next day when starting again fresh. As you lay down to sleep, visualize your images of success and FEEL the emotions you will experience when success is in your grasp. Repeat any success AFFIRMATIONS you have designed for yourself.

6) Make sure you always set goals you can achieve within 30-60 days. Read your goals every morning when you are fresh, and make sure you have written down your ACTION STEPS planned that day for your next step in your goals.

7) After achieving your goals, immediately make new 30-60 day goals and repeat the process. You can achieve HUGE goals in a year by simply breaking down the steps required into smaller sub-goal plans that can easily be achieved within 4 to 8 weeks… Never be overwhelmed again… step by step, even the most “huge hairy and audacious goals” can be achieved.

Follow these seven steps to success and at the end of the year you will be actually celebrating achieving your goals and resolutions instead of regretting your lack of success.

Well, this has got to be the simplest, and most effective, formula for goal success ever.

You need no other formula or strategy, ever.

In order to achieve any and every goal, you simply need to answer these 3 questions.

"In order to achieve my goal....

1. What do I need to STOP doing?

2. What do I need to START doing?

3. What do I need to DO MORE OF?"

THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO THIS FORMULA FOR SUCCESSFUL GOALSETTING...

But if you DO want more suggestions and tips for goalsetting, go to:

Thought of the day - from a twisted mind.

• THE EARLY BIRD MAY GET THE WORM, BUT THE SECOND MOUSE GETS THE CHEESE.

• I DRIVE WAY TOO FAST TO WORRY ABOUT CHOLESTEROL.

• A CLEAR CONSCIENCE IS USUALLY THE SIGN OF A BAD MEMORY.

• IF YOU THINK NOBODY CARES, TRY MISSING A COUPLE OF PAYMENTS.

• EAGLES MAY SOAR, BUT WEASELS DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO JET ENGINES.

• DEPRESSION IS MERELY ANGER WITHOUT ENTHUSIASM.
