Health & Diet Tip:
Practical Hints to Keep Your Brain Healthy
Maintaining the health of your brain and body is not only important for you but also for your family and friends.
Although the brain ages in parallel with other organs of our body, an increasing number of productive and creative elderly persons bear testimony to the brain's remarkable capacity to function at an exceptional level even at an advanced age.
Are there ways to keep the brain functional? Absolutely!
First, be on guard. A significant change in your personality, mood, or behavior (sometimes noted by others) could be a sign for a disorder that should be treated. Consult your physician, especially if the simple recommendations herein do not improve your mood and memory.
1) Keep your brain busy. Engage in mental exercise such as reading, puzzle solving, playing an instrument, playing games, learning new skills (e.g. take a language course, enroll in courses offered by the university for senior citizens), taking part in discussion groups.
2) A healthy brain lives in a healthy body. Regularly perform physical exercise to maintain muscle strength, endurance, and mobility. By exercising your body, you also exercise your brain because the control and coordination of your limbs is controlled by the brain.
Keep your body in good shape by an adequate diet. Stay well hydrated with plenty of water. Endeavor to get the deepest sleep you can, as deep sleep is the great rejuvenator.
3) Avoid risks to the health of your body. Do not smoke, do not consume excessive amounts of alcohol and caffeine. Be careful and sensitive to the possible side effects of medications.
4) Prepare for the future. When you retire from your job, have an alternative social structure ready to keep you stimulated and challenged. Margaret Mead, the well-known anthropologist, said:
"If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life".
Avoid becoming isolated and lonely!
5) Feed your head. As we get older it becomes even more important that we endeavor to keep our antioxidants and the hormones of youth optimal, while keeping the hormones of age, insulin and cortisol, under control.
We also want to consider herbs, amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients that can help keep our mood and memory young.

Fad Diets and the Diet Gap.
THE DANGEROUS GAP IN DIET FADS.
ARE FAD DIETS PUTTING PEOPLES HEALTH AT RISK? SEE HOW HERBALIFE COMPARES.
Have you noticed that fad diets rise and fall in popularity like the latest fashions or current pop songs? We’ve seen (and seen off) the Soup Diet; the Grapefruit Diet; the No Carbs Diet; the Only Carbs Diet, and so on. No sooner than one falls from favour than another becomes ‘flavour of the month’.
As a result of experimenting with the latest “food exclusion” diets, many people are actually cutting out entire food groups, leading to nutritional deficiencies, which could be damaging their health! While it may seem that cutting out carbs is great for fast weight loss, there is a very real risk that it will trigger carbohydrate cravings.
Have you ever experienced carbohydrate deprivation? First you become edgy, then start to crave carbs, especially the wrong sort of starchy carbs that are stored as fat. Many people simply give in and become compulsive, but those who hold out can suffer severe side effects. Vitamin B group deficiency is one outcome, leading to fatigue and anxiety.
BRAIN FOOD
Did you know that the body’s main fuel source for energy comes from carbohydrates? Or that carbs are the brain food used to fuel its function. Is it any wonder you crave high carb, high sugar snacks when studying hard, problem solving or using a computer? Health professionals advise that eliminating carbs from your diet is counter-productive. A much better strategy is giving your body the right type of carbs it requires.
Herbalife’s meal replacement Formula 1 Shakes, together with Herbalife’s other Formula dietary supplements are scientifically designed to provide balanced nutrition in the right combination of protein, fibre, carbohydrates, herbs, minerals and vitamins.
MEAT-FREE
Many people cut out meat when dieting, thinking that this is the way to eliminate excess fat from their bodies. By doing so they could be missing out on important vitamins and minerals such as iron, vitamin B12 and zinc. Iron deficiency leads to serious conditions such as anaemia.
Protein is an essential building block for the body and is needed for the growth of new cells and tissues. If you don’t eat meat it is vital to get adequate protein from other sources.
Herbalife’s (soy) Protein Powder, together with Formula 1 helps build and maintain lean muscle mass and enhances your stamina and wellbeing while dieting. The addition of Vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron. You can have your necessary proteins now, even if you are a vegetarian.
FAT-FREE?
Since the “fat-free craze” began, statistics show we have grown fatter and fatter. Just because a food is fat free doesn’t mean its calorie free. Today, supermarket shelves are packed with foods that call to dieters with the words “FAT-FREE”. But as conscientious weight watchers load up their shopping carts with fat free foods week after week, many discover this alarming fact: their weight is going up!
GETTING FAT ON FAT-FREE
Although we’ve been taught to think of fat as the culprit in the weight loss battle, clearly this is only part of the whole diet picture. Many fat free foods are actually very high in sugar and carbohydrate calories. And these calories, when eaten in excess, become converted into the one thing we’ve been taught to avoid- fat!
LOSE THE FAT FROM YOUR BODY, NOT YOUR DIET
Ironically, in order to burn fat and lose weight you need a certain amount of good quality fat.
That’s why Herbalife’s balanced dietary formulas include enough “good fats”, such as those found in fish and olive oil, together with Herbalife’s highly nutritious meal replacement shakes and snacks. Bad fats include trans fatty acids or hydrogenated fat.
Good fats are mono saturated and polyunsaturated fats containing omega-3 and omega-3 fatty acids, which help to lower cholesterol, improve eyesight and boost brain power.
Herbalifeline is an excellent way to obtain your daily intake of the Omega-3 fatty acids, which are often lacking in both “normal” and fad diets. Omega-3 fatty acids promote good health; helps maintain healthy triglyceride levels that are already within normal range; and provide temporary relief of joint discomfort.
By avoiding the fat free craze and giving your body the complete nourishment it needs with Herbalife’s supplements and weight management products, you’ll lose weight steadily and feel healthier as you do.
FAST WEIGHT LOSS DIET FADS.
Quick weight loss diets usually overemphasize one particular food or food type. They violate the first principle of good nutrition, which is to eat a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods. There are no “super-foods.” No one type of food has all the nutrients you need for good health.
Fad diets also violate a second important principle of good nutrition- eating should be enjoyable. Fad diets are so monotonous and boring that its almost impossible to stay on them for long periods.

Editor’s notes & Humour:
Eating Healthy For Vegetarians
The vegetarian way of eating can be a very healthy style
of eating. The rules still apply with healthy eating,
although you should add variety, balance, and moderation.
A vegetarian is someone who avoids all types of meat,
whether it be hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken, or even fish.
Vegetarians are also sometimes classified by the type of
food they are or aren't willing to eat. For example,
Lacto-ovo vegetarians will avoid animal flesh yet they
will eat eggs and most dairy products. A Vegan on the
other hand, will avoid all food that has any trace of
animal origin.
Because they don't eat meet, vegetarians will often
wonder how they'll get enough protein. Although you may
not realize it, the average American actually consumes
more protein than he actually needs. For the lacto-ovo
vegetarian, dairy products are an excellent source of
protein. Vegans on the other hand, get their protein
from nuts, seeds, and soy products.
Along the lines of beans, there are several to choose
from, including green or red lentils, peanuts, split
peas, pinto, soy, kidney, and many more. Some of them
you are already familiar, such as kidney beans in
chilli, refried beans in Mexican dishes, red beans and
rice, and pinto beans.
Although some beans taste good
as they are, others are available with different flavours
to help enhance their taste. Nuts are high in protein,
although they deliver a lot more fat than beans, which
means you should enjoy them in moderation. By having
one cup of cooked beans, you'll get the same amount of
protein as eating two ounces of meat!
The nutrients of concern for vegans, who avoid all types
of animal food, are vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D.
In the average North American diet, the primary source
for B12 is animals. To have an adequate intake of B12,
vegans should regularly consume vitamin B12 supplements or
foods, which contain vitamin B12, such as soy products
or milk.
For calcium, vegans can rely on orange juice or soy
milk, as they are fortified with calcium. Beans and
leafy green vegetables will also contain some calcium as
well.
Although all types of vegetarians rely on simple food
groups, controlling your vitamins and calcium intake is
something you should always do. This is very important
for eating healthy, as well as staying healthy.
If you
control what you eat, you'll have many years of healthy
eating ahead of you.
