How To Eat Healthy In Today's Fast Paced World!!
by Dr. Robert Osgoodby
In
today's fast paced world, it is hard to always eat a healthy
meal.
I get many questions from clients who frequently have to
entertain
for business, or are constantly on the run. Business
lunches,
business dinners, fast food restaurants and cocktail
parties
can wreak havoc on your diet and weight loss goals.
Believe
it or not, there are ways to stay healthy and fit if you
frequently
eat in restaurants.
1.
Be Soda Savvy - Do you have a six-pack a day soda habit?
Every
12 ounce soda contains more than 9 teaspoons of sugar and
approximately
150 empty calories with no nutritious value
what-so-ever.
There is also evidence that the excess phosphorus
in
both regular and diet soda depletes calcium, increasing a
woman's
risk of osteoporosis. The solution is simple, water
should
be your drink of choice. If your watching your weight,
you
can have one or two diet sodas a day, but don't use them as a
water
substitute.
2.
Eat Fewer French Fries And Fried Food - Sad but true,
French
Fries are America's number one side dish. Although there
is
some vitamin C in potatoes, frying them triples the calories!
One
super size order of fries at McDonald's contains 29 grams of
fat
and 610 calories! If you are a French Fry junkie, you do
have
some options - order the small size and don't eat them every
day.
Pat out the grease with a clean napkin to get rid of some
excess
calories. There are also lower fat baked fries available
for
home consumption. Whenever possible, eat broiled or baked
food,
rather than fried.
3.
Be Pizza Prudent
Whether
you are pressed for time at lunch, or don't feel like
cooking
dinner, most people consider pizza a food staple. A
pizza
does have its nutritious side - carbs, protein and tomato
sauce,
but the cheese and toppings are loaded with excess fat and
calories.
Pizza is packed with saturated fat, which is the
single
biggest factor that leads to obesity. If you are going to
eat
pizza, never eat more than two slices and avoid thick crust
or
stuffed crust pizza. Choose healthy toppings like mushrooms,
tomatoes,
spinach and peppers, rather than meats that tend to be
high
in fat.
4.
Alcohol Alert
Most
people don't realize how drink calories add up. Plus, it's
a
proven fact that people eat more when they drink booze.
Alcohol
is a diuretic with very little nutritional value. Women
should
limit themselves to one drink a day and men to two. If
you
are watching your weight, opt for wine or light beer.
Drinking
a glass of water after every drink will result in you
drinking
less alcohol, replace lost fluids, and lessen a
hangover.
5.
Lighter Fare Options
If
you find yourself eating in restaurants often, make
intelligent
healthy food choices. Most restaurants have lighter
fare
sections on their menu for the health and calorie conscious
patron.
Again, stick with broiled food rather than fried. Avoid
dishes
that contain cheese and sauces high in calories. Salads
are
always a great healthy option, but not if they're filled with
cheese,
bacon, and a salad dressing loaded with fat and calories.
6.
Order a large garden salad with 4 oz. of chicken, turkey,
tuna,
or lean ham, and make sure you use a no fat dressing that
is
low in calories. Fast food and weight loss usually can't be
mentioned
in the same sentence, but most fast food restaurants
also
have lighter fare options on their menu. If you're pressed
for
time and have to hit the drive thru, make a healthy decision.

Smiles
The
Big Shot
-=-=-=-=-=-=
A
big shot business man had to spend a couple of days in the
hospital.
He was a royal pain to the nurses because he bossed
them
around just like he did his employees.
None
of the hospital staff wanted to have anything to do with
him.
The head nurse was the only one who could stand up to him.
She
came into his room and announced, "I have to take your
temperature."
After
complaining for several minutes, he finally settled down,
crossed
his arms and opened his mouth.
"No,
I'm sorry, the nurse stated, "but for this reading, I cannot
use
an oral thermometer." This started another round of
complaining,
but eventually he rolled over and bared his rear
end.
After
feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her
announce,
"I have to get something. Now you stay JUST LIKE THAT
until
I get back!"
She
leaves the door to his room open on her way out. He curses
under
his breath as he hears people walking past his door
laughing.
After almost an hour, the man's doctor comes into
the
room.
"What's
going on here?" asked the doctor.
Angrily,
the man answers, "What's the matter, Doc? Haven't you
ever
seen someone having their temperature taken?"
After
a pause, the doctor confesses, "Well, no. I guess I
haven't.
Not with a carnation anyway."

Dear
Dr. Osgoodby:
I
have read that antioxidants slow the aging process and reduce
the
risk of heart disease and cancer. Is this true? What food
sources
do you recommend for antioxidants?
Thanks.

Dear
Nancy:
Thanks
for the email.
Prunes
rank highest of any fruit or vegetable in antioxidant
value.
They have twice the antioxidant capacity of other
high-scoring
fruits such as raisins and blueberries, three times
the
capacity of kale which is the highest scoring vegetable, and
four
times that of spinach, the second highest scoring vegetable.
Many
researchers believe that antioxidants slow the aging process
and
can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and certain
types
of cancer.
Warmly,
Dr.
Robert Osgoodby

********How do I Get There From Here?********
by James Groves
"The
Benefits of Smoking" - a tongue in cheek article about
smoking.
Last
month, Dr. Osgoodby talked about the dangers of smoking, and
I
just couldn't let this by without adding my two cents.
This
past weekend I received an email from a subscriber who
wanted
to know how to stop smoking. I wrote him back and asked
"Why
in the world would you want to stop? There are many health
benefits
from smoking that have just been released in the new
research
published by the JAMA (Journal of American Medical
Association)
of which I am a contributing member."
These
latest research findings are going to cost our government
and
we the taxpayers a small fortune. It seems the federal and
the
state governments will have to refund all that money they won
in
court and return it to the tobacco companies.
Here
were the findings:
1.
Long term smokers who quit required more doctor visits for
eye,
ear and nose infections. It seems one of the additives in
the
pesticides that was sprayed on the tobacco leaves is actually
a
bacterial inhibitor for staphylococcal infections.
2.
In one blind study 2 out of every 10 people surveyed who
stop
smoking were found to be more susceptible to STDs.
3.
Coughing actually strengthens and exercises the lung and
heart
muscle. For those who stopped smoking there was a 40%
reduction
in lung capacity within the first 6 months.
With
all this information in hand I've decided to go back to
smoking.
I have fond memories of cruising the beach in my '57
Ford
convertible with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in my tee-
shirt
sleeve, and a lit cigarette in the other hand with ashes
flying
back in my face and smoke burning my eyes. Boy did the
girls
think I was cool, you know they weren't looking at the car!
Those
were the real good old days! I didn't care about additives
that
protected me from staphylococcal infections, STD's (sexually
transmitted
diseases), or exercising my heart muscle. Well, they
must
be right, I started coughing the first night. Just think of
all
the exercise my heart's getting and now no more infections.
So
let's all take up the torch and start smoking.
Enjoy
good health and remember, this ain't the way to do it!!
Join
me next month and we'll talk about The Poor Man's Meat That
Can
Lower Your Cholesterol. These health tips can only be found
in
Dr. Osgoodby's Body Transformations Newsletter. Until next
month,

Dr. Earl Mindell's Wellness Update
==================================
Is
it true that an aspirin a day will help prevent heart attacks?
There
is no conclusive evidence that this is true. In fact, you
may
notice that many drug companies that have made this claim in
the
past are changing their message to consumers.
Daily
use of aspirin can do more harm than good. It can result in
gastric
bleeding, ulcers, and even promote macular degeneration,
a
progressive eye disease. And while it can decrease the risk of
some
types of strokes, it actually increases the risk of other
types.
It is even possible that excessive use of aspirin could be
fatal
to those that have suffered a heart attack by increasing
the
risk of hemorrhaging. The connection between aspirin and
prevention
of heart disease comes from the fact that magnesium is
one
of the primary essential minerals in preventing and treating
heart
disease. Magnesium is found in buffered aspirin (normally
the
type most prescribed for heart disease patients).
Initially,
it was found that aspirin was effective in blocking
the
production of prostaglandins. Excessive prostaglandins in the
system
can promote heart disease, inflammation, and pain.
Unfortunately,
aspirin blocks the "good" as well as the "bad"
prostaglandins.
The good prostaglandins are natural immune system
boosters
and can actually lower blood pressure, slow production
of
cholesterol, and reduce inflammation reactions, and, in
effect,
provide some of the same positive results that you get
from
taking aspirin. Aspirin may actually conceal symptoms that
are
important in detecting heart problems.
Common
sense is the best policy. Use natural blood thinners such
as
vitamin E and soy isoflavones. A diet high in antioxidants
(vitamin
C, and beta-carotene) and soluble dietary fiber, and low
in
fat is important. Get into the habit of eating cold water,
deep
sea fish at least two times per week or a supplement of fish
oil
capsules. This will enhance the production of "good"
prostaglandins.
Aerobic exercise such as walking, biking, or
swimming
for at least 20 minutes three times per week and, of
course,
lowering stress levels are all key factors in maintaining
a
healthy heart.
Stay
Healthy,
Dr.
Earl Mindell
