Headaches

According to the International Headache Society there are about 130 different types of headaches. I will be talking about Migraines today

Women are more likely to have migraine headaches. Migraines usually occur on one side of the head and are associated with changes in the arteries of the brain and so is also identified as a vascular headache. The blood vessels can become inflamed or swollen creating pressure to the walls of the blood vessels. Some people see an aura just minutes before the headache starts. 

Physical activity can make it worse. You become sensitive to light, noise and smells. There are also migraines associated with the menstrual period where women get a migraine before, during or just after their period.

Some things that may trigger a migraine are: stress, caffeine, chocolate, hormonal changes, certain foods (pizza, hot dogs, pickled foods, aged cheeses, etc.), fatigue, stress, anxiety, aspartame, MSG, nitrates and some drugs such as clyceryl trinitrate, thophyline, resperpine, nifedipine, indomethacin, cimetidine as well as oral contraceptives. It would be helpful for you to keep a journal of what you eat and do each day to see if you can identify your triggers.

Weight Loss Myths

Myth

Skipping meals can actually contribute to packing on more
pounds! This is not want you want at all! When you go
without eating a meal, your level of metabolism drops and
you become very hungry as a result of not eating. When you
eat again you will be inclined to eat too much. You will also
not meet the daily calorie requirement that is essential for
your good health.

Fact

Breakfast is the worst meal of the day to skip. Your body
has fasted for many hours and upon rising it needs to be
refueled. Just as a car cannot run without gas, your body
cannot run without necessary fuel. Fuel for the body comes
from the foods we eat.
People who eat a healthy breakfast are less likely to overeat
later in the day. It is easier to lose weight, and to maintain a
healthy weight

Boost Your Metabolism

The metabolism is an amazing thing that we all possess. Unfortunately, some of us may have damaged our metabolism in some way or another without even realizing it. This is typically done by a process that is known as yo-yo dieting, constantly gaining and losing weight in a never ending fight against fat. Whenever this is done for an extended period of time, the metabolism tends to give up to a certain extent and this can make it very difficult for us to maintain a healthy weight. After all, our metabolism is really what regulates the speed that we will be burning the calories that we take in. It also helps to give us the energy that we need to get through the day.

Child Nutrition

Since we are on the subject of family nutrition thought today we would visit the health of our children and what fast food is doing in the role of their health. I saddens me to see Kids who really don't know better than to eat what their parents give them.

Your child's nutrition is important to their overall health. Proper nutrition can also prevent many medical problems, including becoming overweight, developing weak bones, and developing diabetes. It will also ensure that your child physically grows to their full potential.

Fast Food Pitfalls

WOW this is a biggie!!! With today's fast paced lifestyle It seems most people would rather go shopping or have numerous reasons why they don't have time to plan and prepare healthy meals for themselves or their family.

Or they don't feel it’s important : ( and with all the mega chains that seem to be everywhere you look it is so easy to just pop in and out for something to to fill that empty feeling that we get.

Once again we tell ourselves that it’s ok because we are sooooo busy then we don’t understand why we feel so tired and have aches and pains Perhaps there is a connection to what we put in our mouths

Perhaps you will think net time you get the urge click here

ENERGY

With today's fast paced lifestyle Most people are exhausted and can barley get through the day with out a nap and really don’t  understand why they are so tired all the time.

Our body is no different than our car being that they both need proper fuel to get to their destination.Our car needs gas our body need Nutrition. What would happen if you filled your car up half way and then topped it off with water yep it would most likely not start or if it did it would not run very well.

This is what most people do to their body everyday they give it a small amount of what it needs then fill the rest up with unhealthy calories and expect it to perform like it has high octane fuel

TIP OF THE DAY

Eat for a killer immunity


It takes more than an apple a day to keep viruses at bay. You can improve your body’s resistance by getting your seven servings of fruits and veggies
and eight to 10 glasses of water a day, at the very least. While an all-around diet is the key to stronger immunity, there are particular immune system-boosting foods that can keep you in fighting condition.


Such as Garlic
Garlic contains the active ingredient allicin, which fights infection and bacteria. British researchers gave 146 people either a placebo or a garlic extract for 12 weeks; the garlic takers were two-thirds less likely to catch a cold. Other studies suggest that garlic lovers who chow more than six cloves a week have a 30 percent lower rate of colorectal cancer and a 50 percent lower rate of stomach cancer. Eat two raw cloves a day and add crushed garlic to your cooking several times a week.
