Exercise and Keeping Track of your Pulse Rate
As you exercise, it is to your advantage to keep track of your pulse rate. You can pick up an inexpensive pulse measure at any local Wal-mart, KMart, or sporting good store. This will measure your heart rate to ensure you are staying within a healthy range. The rate is measured by counting the beats of your heart in a set amount of time, usually about 15 to 20 seconds, and then multiplying the number of beats to get your number of beats per minute. For example, if your pulse at 20 seconds were 40, since there are 60 seconds in a minute, you would take 40 times three for a total rate per minute of 12

Benefits of Drinking Water
Water is a magical drink. It helps transport vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients throughout our bodies, plus it flushes out toxins and other waste products. Our muscles consist of 70 percent water, so drinking lots of it helps keep them looking full and pumped.
I like to drink lots of water, about a gallon a day, not only for its health benefits but also because it helps keep me lean. You can drink it with and in between meals to curb your appetite and decrease cravings. A trick to stop overeating is to have a full 8- to 10-ounce glass of water before each meal because it fills up your stomach and causes you to eat much less than you normally would if you didn’t down the water first. Water’s my best friend when it comes to sticking to a lower-calorie nutrition plan.

Mobile Phone Ups Cancer Risk In Kids
According to a research conducted at University Hospital in Orebro, it was found that those kids or teens that use mobile phones have an increased chance of developing brain cancer. This study also emphasized on the fact that kids are five times more likely to suffer from this disease due to the more use of mobile.
In the research it was found that people who started using mobile before the age of 20 had more than five-fold increase in glioma. Glioma is a cancer of the glial cells which support the central nervous system.
It was also found that the risk increased more than four times higher, in case of using cordless phone in many homes. People who started using mobiles phone at the young age were five times more likely to suffer from acoustic neuromas.
According to the Professor Hardell, “This is a warning sign. It is very worrying. We should be taking precautions.”
The result also emphasized that the adults who used mobile phones for more than 10 years are more likely to get gliomas and acoustic neuromas.

How to gain weight
Most of the people I meet ask for my advice about how to lose weight and keep it off, but some of my clients are actually trying to gain weight. Being extra-lean genetically is rare, but I do have some clients who say, "I eat a ton and can't seem to keep weight on." I also have clients who've lost weight due to dental surgery, a digestive problem, stress or an illness, who are trying to get back to a healthy weight.
As a sports nutritionist, I also work with professional athletes who tend to lose weight over the course of a grueling season, from both the wear and tear of competing and the intense travel schedule.
Gaining weight might seem incredibly easy (just pig out!) but there's actually a science to it -- IF what you want to gain is lean tissue. It drives me absolutely bonkers when I hear that a doctor or other health professional recommended eating pints of ice cream, double cheeseburgers and mounds of candy as a weight gain prescription. That may be effective for packing on body fat, but if you're looking to build lean tissue (including muscle and bone) and create healthy new cells, high calorie junk food isn't going to cut the mustard. Here's why and how to do it right:
The old phrase, "You are what you eat" is absolutely true. Nutrients from food are literally the raw materials that construct new cells. A junk food filled diet devoid of nutrients does't give your body much to work with (it's like constructing a house with cardboard and tape instead of bricks and mortar). It's not just about calories. For example, muscle is partially made from protein, so constructing new muscle tissue requires this key nutrient. Bottom line: building healthy new cells requires a combo of extra calories and a wide range of nutrients.
Here are My Five "Good Gain" Rules:
1. Don't let over 4 hours go by without eating. Your body needs a continuous supply of energy since it's always on (your heart is always beating, blood is circulating, your bones and muscles are moving). When you skip meals, you deprive your body of the fuel it needs to keep going. The result? Your body dips into its piggy bank, which unfortunately includes muscle (if our bodies only relied on stored body fat as a back-up, losing weight would be incredibly easy -- all you'd have to do is stop eating until you used up all your excess fat. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way!). The best way to prevent your body from losing any important tissue is to consistently eat regular meals and if you're trying to gain new muscle tissue, meal timing is especially critical. Sometimes the people who tell me they "eat like crazy" yet can't gain weight actually forget to eat for 8+ hours on a pretty regular basis, or they eat one big meal a day and consider that "eating a lot." A steady stream of healthy meals is key. (See a list of 12-eat right rules here.)
2. Eat several foods at once. For snacks, aim for at least three food groups like a whole grain, fruit and nut combo versus fruit alone. This provides your body with a broader spectrum of nutrients to work with throughout the day.
3. Boost your calorie intake healthfully. The best way to rack up excess calories without a) having to eat huge quantities of food and b) having to eat junk food is to choose nutrient rich foods that pack a big calorie punch for a small amount. The best options are nuts, seeds and natural nut butters, unsweetened dried fruit, whole grains and lean proteins. For example, a half cup of dried apricots have almost 200 calories compared to just 80 in a full cup of fresh, sliced apricots (note: this is no sugar added dried fruit, just the water removed). Two slices of dense whole grain bread spread with 2 Tbsp of natural almond butter and a handful of dried figs, dates or apricots can easily supply over 500 calories, along with dozens of key vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (and without the saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol or added sugar). Melted dark chocolate (which is high calorie but heart healthy) mixed with whole oats, chopped dried fruit and chopped nuts is another great snack option (and pretty yummy too).
4. Drink your calories. This is the exact opposite of what I tell most people but here's why: liquid calories tend to not be filling, so when you're trying to gain weight, they can add needed calories without making you feel stuffed or bloated. Good choices include 100% fruit juice, low fat milk or milk alternatives (like soy milk) and smoothies. Smoothies are great because you can bolster them with all kinds of goodies like wheat germ, flax oil, nut butter, and protein powder. (See a slideshow of 25 super-healthy smoothies here!)
5. Eat right before bed. Sleep time is when a lot of our healing, repair and regeneration work takes place. It's like rush hour for building muscle and lean tissue, so eating a healthy snack right before bed ensures a fresh supply of nutrients available togo to work inside the body. Once again, it's great timing.

Most powerful weight loss weapon
In my 10+ years as a “food coach,” there is no doubt in my mind that one single tool has the most powerful impact on long-term dietary change: a food diary. I admit, it’s not the freshest or most cutting edge advice, but you hear it over and over again because, well, it works!
A new Kaiser Permanente study involving over 1,600 people (average age 55) in four cities (Portland, Oregon; Baltimore, Maryland; Durham, North Carolina; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana) found that those who kept a food journal 7 days a week lost twice as much weight over 6 months compared to those who weren’t regular recorders (18 pounds vs. 9).
Food diaries are like a nutritional checkbook. Without balancing your checkbook, it’s nearly impossible to keep track of your finances, and the same is true for food. Most Americans overestimate how much they have to “spend” calorie wise, underestimate how much they eat and underestimate the number of calories in lots of foods. Most also overestimate the number of calories they burn when exercising (can you imagine accidentally spending more than you make month after month because you were off in your calculations – yikes!).
But it’s beyond calories. Writing it all down dramatically raises your awareness, and helps you to see the “big picture” of your relationship with food, including not just how much you eat but why, when and how. You’ll probably start seeing patterns you weren’t aware of—patterns that may be holding you back from success. And until you know about and understand them, they’re nearly impossible to change.
Just about every client I’ve ever asked to keep a food journal has been downright surprised by what they’ve learned. Most thought they had a pretty good handle on their habits. I’d hear proclamations like, ‘I always eat breakfast,’ ‘I eat tons of fruit and vegetables,’ or ‘I hardly ever snack,’ but after journaling, they’d find out that their perceptions were pretty far off.
If you’re hesitant, keep in mind that the main goal of a food journal isn’t to police yourself; it’s to learn about yourself. Diaries aren’t meant to make you feel ashamed or scolded. They just help you get to know you, and get real with yourself.
Some people prefer online journals, others love the ritual of handwriting in a bound or spiral book; some people email themselves what they’ve eaten, and others write on scraps of paper or sticky notes and stash them in an envelope. You can use whatever works for you, but if you’re trying to make ANY dietary change, from eating more veggies to not skipping meals to losing or gaining weight, I highly encourage you to give it a try. If you do, please let me know how it goes!

Diet for Diseases
Balanced Diet:
The human body requires food to provide energy for all life process and for growth, repair and maintenance of cells and tissues. The dietetic needs vary according to age, sex and occupation. A balanced diet contains different types of foods in such quantities and proportions that the need for calories, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients is adequately met and small provision is made for extra nutrients to with stand short duration of leanness. Eating a well balanced diet on a regular basis and staying at your ideal weight are critical factors in maintaining your emotional and physical well-being. Being over weight/under weight can lead to certain chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.
Fluid intake in the form of water based drinks is also essential for good health. Water is essential for the correct functioning of the kidneys and bowels. At least 6-8 glasses of plain water should be drunk each day, more in hot weather.
