Snack Attack
A little bite here. A small spoonful there. Just a taste, pinch, or lick. It seems so innocent. But, all that snacking can lead to an ever-expanding waistline and diet disaster!
Snacking isn’t bad. Actually, snacking is a healthy habit, since most dieticians and healthcare professionals recommend eating four to six small meals throughout the day. So, the question is not whether you should or should not snack, rather the question is, “What are you snacking on?”
Looking for Dr. Right
Finding the right doctor for you is one of the most important decisions that you will ever make regarding your health. Many of us will look for a new doctor at least once in our lifetime, if not multiple times. How do you go about finding a doctor who meets your needs?
Straight From the Heart
The American Heart Association reports that 35 percent of all deaths in America are as a result of heart-related illnesses. Cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer of American women, taking more lives annually than the next five causes of death combined. Take a proactive approach to heart health. The next time you visit your doctor, ask important heartfelt questions.
Got Results?
Intensity is basically a measure of how hard you are working. Keeping tabs on your intensity is imperative if you want to gain the best fitness results. If you waltz leisurely through your workout, it will only frustrate you in the end, when you see a lack of results. At the same time, pushing yourself beyond your safe intensity limits is a recipe for injury and burnout. The three most common methods for measuring workout intensity are target heart rate, the talk test, and rate of perceived exertion.
