Health Tips of the Week

  • Breakfast plays an important role in keeping your weight down. Skipping breakfast can lead to obesity. By the way eat your breakfast at home. Those who eat out in the morning are likely to become obese!
  • If you have trouble sleeping, exercise can help. All it takes is about 45 minutes of aerobics or strength training of large muscle groups in the day time to get a good night’s sleep. However, if you workout at night, you won’t sleep as well. The good news is you can do stretching and relaxing exercises any time to sleep better at night.
  • A dairy diet helps prevent gout. Go light on meat and seafood. Gout is an inflammation of the joints caused by a buildup of uric acid and affects as many as 5 million Americans mostly men. Diet might prevent the disease; at the very least lessen its severity.
  • Glucosamine has been shown to be effective in treating and reversing knee arthritis in women. Medical researchers also conclude that it is effective for all weight bearing joints and for men too!. But don’t overlook the other necessary measures of weight reduction and physical activity.
  • A powerful antioxidant found in green tea may contain anticancer benefits for lung, prostate and breast tumors. You only need to drink two to three cups a day to reap the rewards.

Then the women’s movement gave birth to a seemingly brilliant inspiration: Women could do both. However, now they had to intensify their existence.
