  • Sugar: the Many Names Used in Processed Foods
    Sugar: the Many Names Used in Processed Foods Both glucose and fructose are common, but they affect the body very differently. Glucose can be metabolized by nearly every cell in the body. Fructose is metabolized almost entirely in the liver. Fructose has harmful effects on the body, including insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver, and type 2 diabetes. It is especially important to minimize the intake of high fructose sugars. Many processed foods will have a combination of sugars.

  • Kick Your Tobacco Habit
    Kick your tobacco habit You know that tobacco is bad for you. This is true whether you smoke, or use chewing tobacco or snuff. So, why not quit today? It’s hurting your health, draining your wallet and leaving you behind in a world that’s becoming tobacco-free. When you’re ready, set a date to quit. And, stick to it. Don’t let tobacco control you for one more day. Take charge of your habit and your health. These quitting tips can help you stop smoking or chewing for good: } Go “cold turkey.” Tapering down is usually less successful than stopping all at once. Clear the air. Clean your clothes, car, carpet, furniture and draperies to get rid of any smoke smell. Also toss any smoking-related items such as ashtrays, matches and lighters. Get rid of these and any other triggers that may cause you to start up again. } Make a “no-strings” commitment. Most people who quit for good do it alone. That is, they don’t make a pact with a fellow quitter. If you team up with a buddy, his or her failure might make it easier for you to fail, too. On the other hand, quitting with someone can provide support and encouragement. Just keep in mind that you can quit even if your friend doesn’t. } Reward yourself. Set goals. Celebrate when you’ve reached a day, a week and a month tobacco-free. Do something nice for yourself when you meet each goal. } Spread the word. Let everyone know that you’re quitting.
