Health and WellbeingDieting in Adolescence

Concern with weight and shape is extremely common during the adolescent years. In addition to being exposed to the real health risks of obesity and improper nutrition, teenagers are being exposed to the unrealistically thin beauty ideal that is portrayed in the media. Images and words in the media tell teenagers that being thin means that you are beautiful, happy and in control. But, in real life, people that are happy and successful come in all shapes and sizes.

Through media exposure, teenagers are also being exposed to a number of ways to lose weight and achieve this thin ideal. The sources of information available on health and proper nutrition are often dubious and unreliable. The result is that many teenagers feel the pressure t be thinner than is required for good health, and try to achieve this goal through poor and sometimes dangerous nutritional choices.

Facts about teenagers and dieting:

* Teenagers' reasons for dieting are varied, but body image dissatisfaction and a desire to be thinner is the motivation behind the majority.

* Every 1 in 3 teenager girls and 1 in 4 teenage boys have tried dieting to change the shape of their body.

* Rather than following a healthy eating plan, teenagers usually use fasting, skipping meals, extreme diets that limit important foods, laxative pills as well as diet pills in order to lose weight.

* Teens who diet are usually influenced by friends who value thinness and engage in unhealthy dieting techniques. Teens are also hugely affected by parents that frequently diet and do not have healthy eating habits.

What is the problem with teen dieting?

The majority of teens who diet do so without any apparent guilt, but they may be putting themselves at risk with little chance of tangible benefit. Dieting is not a good solution and healthy long term solution for weight problems since most tends tend to diet in an unstructured way and decisions to go about losing weight are haphazard and often short-lived.

Unhealthy dieting can cause:

* Nutritional deficiencies, particularly of iron and calcium which can pose short and long term risks. In growing children and teenagers, even a marginal reduction in food intake can be associated with decrease in growth.

* Disordered eating, even without weight loss or gain, has been shown to affect menstrual regularity for girls.

* The long-term risks of unhealthy dieting can lead to osteoporosis, intestinal problems such as constipation, gallstones and digestive problems.

* Many lifestyle habits are established during the adolescent years and alterations in the eating habits of children and teenagers could have lifelong implications for dysfunctional eating.

Recommendations for a healthy diet for teenagers:

 Learn the 5 basic food groups: Foods can be divided into 5 basic groups: milk products, meat/eggs, grains, fruits and vegetables. Your diet should mainly consist of fruits and vegetables with lean meats and good amounts of whole-grain (bread, pasta, rice...) at every meal.

 Eat at least 3 meals per day: Breakfast is essential. Skipping breakfast can compromise performance at school and during the day. Eating snacks is largely habit. Snacks are unnecessary for good nutrition but harmless unless you are overweight. Snacks should be mainly fruits.

 Decrease the amount of fat: Excessive amounts of fat can lead to weight gain so try to eliminate extra fats from your diet by eating lean meats and concentrating more on chicken and fish rather than red meat. Limit the number of eggs to 3 or 4 per week and instead of whole milk, drink semi-skimmed or non-fat milk. Especially, limit he amount of oils used during cooking. Note that red meat may be hard to give up because of the widespread misconception that red meat helps to build muscle mass and strength. Other foods such as fish, chicken and beans also have lots of protein and hence the same function as red meat.

 Increase the amount of fruits, vegetables and whole-grains

 Avoid excessive salt

 Avoid excessive sugar: Eating foods with a lot of sugar can cause jitters, sweating, dizziness, sleepiness, and intense hunger 2 to 3 hours later. Sweets are not harmful in moderation, but taken excessively sweets can lead to obesity.

Tips for parents:

 Teenagers who are concerned about weight or shape should be educated about the difference between 'healthy weight' and 'cosmetically desirable weight'. For teenagers, these may be very different, because many teens want to be thinner than is required for good health.

 Educate dieting teenagers about the health risks of using diet pills, laxatives and improper dieting methods.

 Try to implement good eating habits for the whole family so your children will be encouraged to eat healthy foods.

 Physical activity is an important part of staying healthy and feeling good. Let your children spend time every day doing something active they enjoy.

Internal Cleanse ReviewsEco Energy Conserving Kettle 1.5ltr Capacity



I was so impressed by the ionic foot bath, I purchased one for myself and my family. I had severe arthritis in my right elbow and I couldn�t straighten my arm. After about five half hour sessions, I started to notice my elbow was not hurting as bad. After about nine or ten sessions, the arthritis was completely gone and I had complete motion back. After a year, my arthritis has not returned. What a blessing to be pain free.

My self and several family members reported a more clear headed feeling after doing a foot bath.

To make a long story short, my grand daughter is free of cancer and has been for two years. She has maintained her healthy lifestyle and nutritious meals and regular foot baths for maintenance.

Wheatgrass TabletsCommon Mistakes When Choosing a Diet

As the New Year approaches, you have decided to go on a diet and get your weight down to a healthy level. So that you will be ready for the New Year you want to take the time choose a diet plan. But which one should you choose? Which one will really work this time? You don't want to make a bad choice and end up just wasting money and time. Here are some common mistakes folks make when choosing a diet and hopefully you will take heed and avoid them so as to choose the right plan and minimize the time on the diet. Never choose a diet that makes some incredible claim of unrealistic weight loss. These companies will boast all sorts of results with little proof other than a before and after picture of a person. Always remember that you can only safely lose one or two pounds a week.

And along the lines of unrealistic, never choose a diet that claims you can lose weight but not change you eating habits or give up fatty foods. This is absurd. Think about it. Your overweight condition is more than likely a result of your eating and exercise habits with the exception of pregnancy. You are going to have to do something different because obviously what you have been doing does not work. So promises of results with no effort are ridiculous.

It is recommended also to stay away from diets that cut out an entire classification of foods such as no carbohydrates or no fat whatsoever. Always remember the word balance. Your body needs the whole entire range of food groups each day. When you cut out an entire food group you will quickly crave it and end up falling off the diet anyways. Plus, if you have some other health condition you could put yourself in serious danger. For example, people with gout should stay away from the high protein diets because the high protein only aggravates the condition.

Any diet that shoots down proven medical research should be avoided. If most doctors agree on a certain topic then you had better take it serious. For example, if most doctors believe that a starvation crash diet is bad then you should maybe research a little further and see why they are saying it.

This is probably the biggest mistake people make: They choose a diet that includes no exercise. It will not work no matter what the promoter of the diet says. You have to combine diet with exercise in order to increase your metabolism and burn calories. There is absolutely no getting around it.

Any diet plan that requires a significant cash layout on your part should be suspect. These are diets that want you to attend their meetings and seminars for an annual membership fees. They are also diets that require you to buy only their meals that are so much more expensive than going to the store, buying the ingredients, and cooking your own.

There is one rule in life that if you follow it will keep you from making poor choices with diets or anything for that matter. The rule is that if it is too good to be true then it is probably not true. Some diet that says you will loose 40 pounds in two weeks is too good to be true. And of course, their advice or plan will not be free. It will require you to spend something to find out it was too good to be true.

11. Finding healthy snacks can be difficult. Watch out for the partially hydrogenated oils and sugar used in the coatings. There are protein bars and healthy varieties of snacks available in the health food section.

12. Fruits are high in vitamin C. Eat more melons such as cantaloupe if you are trying to lower your calories. Cantaloupe is not only high in vitamin C, but has plenty of beta-carotene that helps defend against diseases such as cancer.

13. For frozen dinners, buy the ones with low cholesterol, sodium and fat.

There�s a good reason for all these carbs. After a workout your body has depleted its carbohydrate reserves. Your body is releasing more insulin, sending needed carbs back into the muscles. These calories and nutrients absorbed during post-workout meals are directed into the worn muscle mass which leads to a better gain in muscle and cell growth.

Rose Hip TeaBeyond the Casserole: Quick, Healthy and Tasty Tuna Recipes

Beyond the Casserole: Quick, Healthy and Tasty Tuna Recipes
The tuna casserole has been a favorite dinnertime standby for many years. And for good reason - canned tuna is cheap, easy to store, nutritious, quick to prepare, and appeals to kids and adults alike. As good as a tuna casserole can be, when served too often - eyes can begin to roll! Now's the time to expand your tuna repertoire. Here are several ideas for using our favorite fishy in new dishes.

Tuna patties: Like crab cakes or salmon patties, make little cakes with tuna, egg white, breadcrumbs and seasonings. Fry in a little olive oil for a very tasty and quick lunch or dinner. They are even better with some fresh-squeezed lemon juice.

Open-Faced Tuna and Tomato Melts: Slice french bread crosswise. Lightly spray with cooking spray (sprinkle with a touch of garlic salt if desired) and brown under broiler. Mix tuna, a small amount of light mayonnaise, chopped celery, and seasonings. Spread on broiled bread slices. Top with sliced tomato and a small amount of mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with italian seasoning. Broil under cheese is melted and tuna is heated through.

Tuna Salad Stuffed Tomatoes: Use same tuna mixture as described above. Hollow out tomatoes (but don't throw away - eat the insides!). Scoop tuna mixture into tomato shell.

Tuna Pasta Salad: Cook some whole wheat pasta (shells, macaroni, penne, etc) according to package directions. Stir in tuna, light sour cream or mayonnaise, chopped veggies - such as celery, green onion, green or red bell pepper, cucumber, asparagus, broccoli or cauliflower, and seasonings. Chill before serving if desired.

Tuna on Salad: Tuna is also a great topping for a tossed salad. Simply flake it and add your other favorite vegetable toppings and lowfat dressing.

Tuna Roll-ups: Mix tuna as described in 'Tuna Melts' above. Spread on lowfat or fat-free tortilla, add a generous amount of sliced tomatoes and lettuce and roll up.

To keep all of these dishes healthy, just make sure you don't overdo the mayonnaise. A little goes a long way. Light mayonnaise still adds a great flavor and texture. You can also try substituting plain fat-free yogurt. What you can use liberally are dried or fresh herbs, ground black pepper, and other salt-free seasonings. Tuna packed in water is a healthier choice than that packed in oil. You will also want to experiment with the different varieties of tuna, such as albacore, for even more taste dimensions. You can even buy tuna now in plastic envelopes that you don't have to drain. Because tuna is so versatile, you'll probably be able to come up with endless variations on these and other recipe ideas. So, go grab that can opener and enjoy!
