Save Money This Summer AND Lose Weight!

If you eat an average of 6 cookies each day, not only can you lose weight on the R&D Diet Cookie Program but you can save money too!  The cost of the cookies are about $5 per day and they replace two meals and all snacks.  It's pretty hard to buy 2 meals and snacks on $5 a day!

Health Tip - Take Natural Vitamin E

A study found that people who have lived to a healthy age 100 were more likely to have dramatically lower rates of insulin resistance than much younger people.

These healthy centenarians also were much more likely to have lower levels of oxidative stress and higher circulating levels of vitamin E.  Oxidative stress may increase risk of heart disease, and vice versa.

Does vitamin E help manage that?  Scientists aren't sure, but they say it may be worth a try.

Another Weight Loss Tip!

Log on to keep pounds off.  A Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research study showed that when users logged on regularly (onto a weight-management website) for 2 1/2 years to record their weight or their diet, they maintained an average of 9 pounds from their original 19-pound loss.  The study showed the longer you use a weight-management website, the more weight you will keep off.  The less you use one, the less you will keep off.
I recommend a programs called DietPower.

Easy Weight Loss Tip - Get Good Sleep

Too little sleep may actually keep body fat in place, according to research from the University of Chicago.

The study showed dieters who slept 8.5 hours during one period and 5.5 during another lost about the same amount of weight (just under 7 pounds), but the composition was different: When they slept more, they took off body fat; when they slept less, they lost more muscle mass.

During less-sleep time, participants also felt hungrier and had higher levels of gherlin in their blood (an appetite-stimulating hormone). Sleep experts say most adults need seven to nine hours of sleep each night.

4 Ways to prevent a STROKE

Here's some good information I ran across the other day...

Every 40 seconds, someone in the USA has a stroke; about every four minutes, someone dies from one.  If you stop smoking, cut your sodium intake and keep your weight, blood pressure and blood sugar in check, you reduce your risk.  Here are four more tips, based on the latest research:

1. Pay attention to heart palpitations.  Especially if the flutters are accompanied by shortness of breath, lightheadedness and chest pain.  A new study in the journal Circulation suggests about half of atrial fibrillation (AF) cases could be prevented by curbing heart risk factors such as obesity and smoking.

2. Eat more raisins.  And bananas, beans and sweet potatoes, which are loaded with potassium.  A diet rich in such foods may reduce stroke risk by more than 20%.

3. Walk 20 minutes a day.  It'll cut your risk of stroke by 30%, according to a large study of nearly 40,000 women over a 12-year period.  Walk briskly and your chances are cut by almost 40%.  The link applies only to women; studies of men have been inconsistent.

4. Get your eyes checked.  A new study found that retinal vein occlusion (RVO), an eye disease that afflicts aout 180,000 people each year, nearly doubles your chance of stroke.  RVO occurs when the small veins that carry blood away from the retina become blocked; atherosclerosis, diabetes and high blood pressure raise your risk.
