Remember we were going to exercise more, eat healthier and take more time for ourselves and family? Here's some more you may want to consider for this year... Reduce the amount of cola soft drinks. There is some link between these drinks and bone loss and diabetes. As well, increase you fibre intake by eating bran cereals rather than others with less fibre. The target is to consume 14 grams of fibre for every 1000 calories you take in. Eat more salmon rather than tuna. The fattier fish like salmon have more omega-3 oils which some experts say reduces triglycerides in the blood, helps prevent blood clots and lowers the inflammation of plaques in the arteries which, if they break off the blood vessel lining, can cause a hears attack. If you can't get fresh salmon, use the canned type. If you feel you'd like dessert after a meal, choose fruit. You'll be keeping your saturated fat intake down which in turn helps your weight. Losing weight is on many persons' resolution list. Some of these suggestions may help. We'd like to thank you for all your kind comments about Capsule Comments.
