Antioxidants, Orange and Green Vegetables Linked to Longer Life
Unlike McDonald's, which is mostly shades of brown, new research claims colorful vegetables, specifically oranges and dark greens, maybe help extend lifespan and decrease mortality. Published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), found that among the 15,000 study participants (American adults, ages 20 and older) taking part in a national health survey, individuals with higher blood levels of alpha-carotene had lower overall health risks after 14 years, regardless of lifestyle habits.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables is a major risk factor for increased mortality worldwide. A 2003 WHO report claims as many as 2.7 million lives may have been saved each year, if more fruits and vegetables were consumed.
In the new study, experts report that both alpha-carotene and beta-carotene, present in orange and dark green vegetables, provided health benefits, but the effect was most pronounced with alpha-carotene. Our bodies convert alpha-carotene and beta-carotene into vitamin A. Carrots and red, yellow, and orange colored vegetables are all good sources of carotenes.
Individuals with the highest blood levels of alpha-carotenes had a 27% lower risk of death, especially dying from cardiovascular disease and cancer. Beta-carotene and alpha-carotene are antioxidants and have been shown to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Antioxidants prevent the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation causes chain reactions that release free radicals into the body, which can damage cells; a risk factor for cancer. Antioxidants stop these chain reactions.
Conversely, consuming foods like red meat and bacon, high in saturated fat and carcinogens, especially when cooked/burnt at high temperatures, raise risk of stroke and disease likes cancer and heart disease.
The CDC suggests choosing leaner cuts of meat, eating white meat, like chicken and turkey, and low-fat dairy to lower saturated fat intake.

60% of Women Don't Like Eating in Front of Their Partner
A new survey highlights some revealing statistics about the relationship between women and food.
- 60% of women in relationships do not feel comfortable eating in front of their partner
- 50% of women in relationships get shy undressing in front of their partner
- 40% of women feel as though they are constantly dieting
- 13% of women choose low-calorie meals instead of what they would actually like when eating out
Although featured in Time and the Daily Mail, these numbers seem high. The survey was "carried out for Shapesmart" - according to nutritionist Mary Strugar. Shapesmart is a UK-based weight management program, and Strugar sits on the "Expert Advice Panel". The UKPA mentions that 5,000 people were surveyed - but nowhere can I discover if any of these people had a pre-existing relationship with the diet company.
Reader surveys can be notoriously biased - it's a bit like surveying readers of a gossip magazine if they are obsessed with celebrities -- you are probably going to get a different result to the rest of the population.
Regardless of accuracy - I have no doubt that many women have an unhealthy relationship with food. The reasons for not wanting to eat in front of a partner are unclear - is he critical? Does the woman feel under scrutiny for what she chooses to eat?
Are you comfortable eating in front of your partner?

Diet plans that really work
It's true that some diet plans included in TV presentations, magazine ads and all over the internet might turn up successful. Now the main issue here is that not all diets work the same for every individual.
Why Do We Give Up
The majority of diet plans guarantee results within a few weeks if you just stick to the program. In some ideal cases, this is not far fetched, it's actually very possible. But some people get lost on their way and fail to reach the promised outcome of the dieting program. Why does that happen? Well, if there's anything that makes temptations harder to resist to is because of all the restraints. So, many end up indulging a small pleasure that becomes an entire sugary treat. Then several pounds happen, and all seems lost. That's the reason people blame themselves or blame their diet, and the fight against excess weight suddenly stops. The best solution for that is simply to move on and stick to the diet. Starting all over should be successful because the pounds one just gained are easier to melt down once the diet is resumed.
Keep The Eye On The Prize
When people get tangled up in promises and high expectations, things usually end up badly. There are so many products out there whose value might look equivalent to a lost treasure on an island, but fact is their actual results are resembling more with a desert mirage. Whatever the option, pills, tablets, shakes, juices etc won't work unless combined with a proper diet and some good physical training to sweat it all out. Hunger suppressants? Nah, does are totally inappropriate as a weight loss solution because starving your body out of the nutrients it needs won't make you feel any better. You'll soon realize the mistake when your body suddenly wants a rematch. You'll be overwhelmed. If your system lacks nutrients for a while, then once you start eating again you'll put on even more pounds.
Well advertised drugs that guarantee you getting rid of all the excess fat and fast are way too expensive over their real worth. Their results are inconclusive. Their claims over estimated. Actually, the only proven drug whose task is to block the calorie intake is called Orlistat. But even that one must be accompanied by an adequate diet plan and some physical exercises. This is the only practical solution. Denying it will add up to your problems: lost time and money, huge disappointment, demotivation.
Exercise gadgets
The old ways of working out pale in front of those interesting exercisers whose success is pushed forward by appealing advertisements. Were you convinced by those models with firm legs and abs wearing those gadgets? Then you just got tricked. Their bodies do not look like that because of the exercisers. This is the basic marketing rule: image sells.
There aren't two people out there with the same metabolism. Our bodies react differently to the treatments they're subjected to. This is the same with dieting. The answer to your weight problems, the one with the highest number of benefits is the one prompting you to consult with your physician. Based on various criteria such as gender, age, body weight, medical history etc he'll be able to provide you a solution that could actually work. Having your own diet to strictly follow should be the most agreeable for you and your body. A personalized eating program will most likely end up in your best interest and it is more realistic and easier to follow than some diet plan that you just heard your neighbor bragging about. No matter how appealing do many diets sound, you should stay true to yourself and think this through: would you rather follow a nutritional plan recommended for everyone, or one that suits your body's needs best?
