Negative Calorie Foods - Lose Weight By Eating

I love grapefruits and have since I was a kid. I generally have a grapefruit with breakfast everyday. What I didn't know until recently was that eating grapefruits was helping me to maintain my optimum weight.

It turns out that a grapefruit is a negative calorie food. A negative calorie food is any food product that causes the body to burn more calories to digest and process (accessing the nutrients) than the number of calories that food provides to the body. If a food contains, say 10 calories, but it takes 11 calories or more to digest it, it is a negative calorie food.

My grapefruit helps me to maintain a daily calorie balance by compensating for the calories contained in something else I will eat. Of course, I am also getting some vitamin C, fiber and other nutrients from the fruit.

There are many Negative Calorie Foods, which you can add to your diet to help you maintain or lose weight. Such foods include apples, onions, cucumbers, chili - about 100 food items that are readily available to most consumers. Beyond helping you lose weight, these foods are good for you in many other ways, providing anti-oxidants, minerals, vitamins, fiber, etc.

No Colds for the Last Two Years Plus!

With the weather turning cold and snowy across the country, people are becoming concerned about colds and flues. We tend to get more severe colds during the winter months, in part, because of a change in our metabolisms, and, in part, because we are more likely to encounter people in closed spaces (keeping warm) and have more chances to spread viruses.

I was checking my health journal the other day and realized that I am now approaching my third winter without suffering from a major bout with colds or flues. I have one or two day during the last 2 and half years where I may have had a cold, but nothing symptomatic that lasted longer than that.

What have I been doing right? I have been eating better, getting regular exercise and taking my various vitamins, but I started doing something two plus years ago that I think I can now say has made a difference.

I began to wear a pair of Alex Chui's Immortality Rings. This is a set of two rings with magnets that are worn on the pinkie fingers while sleeping. Their purpose is to maintain one's health and reverse the aging process. While it is hard to quantify that may cells have gotten younger. I am over 54 and can say that my face has no new wrinkles, my hair is the same brownish color and my joints seem to ache less often. Still immortality is hard reach until you lived a long time.

But on the health front, no colds and flues for such a long period of time is remarkable for me. And I am beginning to give the Immortality Rings the credit.

I recommend the Immortality Neodymium Rings as they are more powerful.

Yoga and ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

There is much evidence that regular physical activity is good for those who have ADD (with or without hyperactivity). Not too surprising because physical exercise for 30 minutes, 3-5 days a week, is good for every man, woman and child on the planet. Still for those with ADD such exercise can balance the production of neurotransmitters and reduce stress levels.

Yoga is an excellent type of exercise for the ADDer. Not only does the physical activity help, but the mental component of the poses or asanas that Yoga students do helps those with ADD connect their minds and bodies. ADDers who practice Yoga feel calm, centered, in control, and in touch with their bodies. For more about Yoga and ADD, visit Using Yoga to Manage ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder.
