Healthy Eating Tips
One of the best ways to support better health is being conscious of what and how you eat. These hints are taken from Jean Carper’s “EatSmart” column in USA Weekend, Sep. 21, 08:
• Cut Fructose. This form of sugar can turn to fat in your body with surprising speed, show new tests at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Researcher’s advice: Limit processed foods and beverages sweetened with fructose. Fruit is OK.
• Eat Slowly. Gulping food makes you eat more, says a new University of Rhode Island study. Women who ate slowly, compared with those who ate quickly, consumed about 70 fewer calories and felt more satisfied later.
• Drink Water. Tests by Virginia Tech show drinking 2 cups of water a half-hour before breakfast cuts caloric intake by 13% in older [people] who are overweight. More exciting: German research says water burns calories! Drinking 2 cups of water revved metabolism 24% in overweight subjects in an hour.
