Food That Would Look After Your Curves

To get rid of that extra roll of fat, go for a diet that includes proteins, carbohydrates and fat to give you the right caloric intake.

Well-known fitness expert Pervez Mistry tells you what to eat to stay trim:

To get rid of that extra roll of fat, go for a diet that includes proteins, carbohydrates and fat to give you the right caloric intake. That will be two servings each of dairy products and meat and four servings of fruit and vegetables. Pure vegetarians should have three servings of dairy and grain products a day. (A serving is half a cup).

Fruits and vegetables:

A large piece of melon, two oranges and one or two bananas for your fruit intake, and brinjal, carrots and drumsticks for your vegetable diet will be right. They are low-fat sources of essential nutrients.

Grain and lentil:

Four servings a day are adequate. If it is bread, consider a larger slice as a serving. But chapattis from whole wheat, naan and Goan rice in themselves are not enough as they are deficient in one or more amino acids.

Milk:

Have two or three cups of milk a day. Vegetarians need four or five cups. Girls, middle-aged and pregnant women should drink skimmed milk. If you are lactose intolerant, take an enzyme product which will help digest lactose. Or make up the deficit with other food.

Meat, poultry, fish and alternatives:

Red meat is the main source of fat and cholesterol. But what is required is moderation and not abstinence. Have three and a half to four ounces of red meat. Go for lean cuts of pork, lamb or beef, which have less than 10 grams of fat in a serving of 3 oz. It is always better to substitute chicken or fish for meat. Treat meat as a side dish that completes a meal of vegetables, grains and lentils. But first, trim the fat from red meat and remove the skin from poultry before cooking.

If you are a vegetarian, include low-fat dairy products, cottage cheese (paneer), soya bean and lentil in your diet.

How to Make a Thanksgiving Turkey More Entertaining

By: Brad Smith | 10/11/2009
Thanksgiving is well-known for two things: family and turkey. While most cultures would frown at the notion of eating your family, the next best thing is the turkey. For some, traditional is the way to go: season the bird up, stuff with stuffing, and soak it in gravy. While this is all well and good, especially if you’re fond of the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” approach, there are other ways to make your Thanksgiving bird a little more enjoyable to the palate. I am, of course, speaking of bo

SHOW SOME EMOTION ~

By: eveline | 10/11/2009
Emotion is a chemical state in our brains which we experience as feelings. It is a very important aspect of our mental life, though often overlooked, and neglected by psychologists.

Laughter is the best medicine?

By: eveline | 10/11/2009
Although some of us take it for granted, laughter is an intrinsic, fundamental part of our lives. Research shows that laughing is a 'full cortex' experience, meaning that before we laugh, an electrical wave (current) sweeps through and completely blankets the cortex.
