Eat more vegetables.

Simple sure, but how many people really do it? Try mixing and matching fresh vegetables for variety. Besides the numerous health benefits, most veggies are full of fiber, which will fill you up, as well as burn more calories than eating other foods. Because it can be hard for some of you to eat more veggies here are some tips

Yes, frozen vegetables are just fine. In fact, frozen fruits and vegetables have shown to be more likely to hold their nutrient value versus fresh because of things like the time they sit after being picked before you have them at home and eat them. – who knew?

Go ahead and snack

Snack on good stuff, like raisins, nuts (especially almonds), veggies and most fruit. Not dried fruit, though. Have you ever looked at the calorie count and ingredients of most mixed nut and fruit trail mix products? It’s not pretty!

Speaking of nuts

Add nuts to your yogurt and salads. Chopped nuts make a great alternative to “breaded” style garnishes like croutons.

Specific food combinations

Combining some foods can help to burn calories by ramping up your metabolism. Eat carbs that are rich in fiber. They take longer to digest and you will feel more full for longer periods of time, therefore you won’t snack mindlessly. Along with carbs rich in fiber, take in more protein. Your body burns more calories when you eat protein than it burns digesting either fats or carbohydrates. Eating more protein to burn fat was confirmed in a study published in the American Journal of Physiology. You can read it here, but be warned it is rather long and boring. One group was fed a high protein diet (just over one gram per pound of bodyweight per day) while the second group consumed a protein diet near equal to that of the RDA. The group eating the high protein diet burned more fat than the group consuming protein near equal to the RDA. Want to burn fat or build muscle? Get lots of fiber and protein. Eating protein also helps to prevent muscle loss while dieting, which can help prevent the slowing of your metabolism.

Put these five tips into practice and your new muscle building, fat burning machine – your body – will reward you for it.

If you are living with high cholesterol or you have a family history of the condition, you’re probably pretty tuned in to the foods to avoid and the foods to add to your diet to help keep your levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol low. But, what about coffee? It’s one of the most commonly consumed beverages in the world and is constantly in the news for having health benefits. Here’s what you need to know about the possible connection between coffee and high cholesterol. Most of the studies on coffee and health show that moderate amounts (4 cups or less daily) can be good for your general health, but more than 4 cups have been connected to a greater risk of death from heart disease. Though brewed coffee does not contain actual cholesterol, it does have two natural oils that contain chemical compounds -- cafestol and kahweol -- which can raise cholesterol levels. And studies have shown that older coffee drinkers have higher levels of cholesterol. But there wasn’t much research on younger folks until recently.
