Thread: Easy Way to Lose 10 Pounds

It isn't a gimmick.

You don't have to buy anything.

And you really can drop 10 pounds without a lot of work.

How?

Take advantage of the fact that even the smallest changes matter.

Eating one tablespoon less fat per day will lead to a 10-pound weight loss in a year, according to Katherine Tallmadge of the American Dietetic Association. "It's not about trying to make sweeping overhauls that are doomed to fail," she explained to The Associated Press.


The Ideal Diet

The ideal diet, according to Dr. Walter Willett, chairman of the nutrition department at Harvard School of Public Health, consists of lots of fruits and vegetables and healthy protein sources, including fish, poultry, nuts, and legumes.

Red meat and high-fat dairy products should be avoided.

Carbohydrates are fine, as long as they're high-fiber.

Think wheat pasta and brown rice.

Avoid refined grains, such as white rice and white potatoes.

Also, take a multivitamin daily, do enjoy an alcoholic drink every day, and get regular physical activity.


The Ideal Meal

Slice of oily fish, such as salmon, cooked in garlic, shallots, onions, and tomatoes

Broccoli

Wine or beer

Fresh fruit for dessert with a steaming cup of tea


Why is this meal so good for you?

Oily fish, such as salmon or mackerel, may cut the risk of prostate cancer in half.

Garlic, shallots, onions, and tomatoes also lower the risk of certain kinds of cancer.

Broccoli and broccoli sprouts contain a chemical that kills the bacteria responsible for most stomach cancers.

Moderate alcohol consumption can reduce the risk of heart attacks.

Tea makes bones stronger and reduces the risk of dying after a heart attack.

Drink This and Your Skin Will Glow

Green tea will not only give your skin a healthy glow, but also may be a magic bullet for scientists developing new treatments for skin disease and wounds, according to new research from the Medical College of Georgia.


HealthScoutNews reports that green tea contains compounds called polyphenols that help eliminate cancer-causing free radicals and protect healthy cells while promoting the death of cancer cells. The most abundant polyphenol in green tea is EGCG. When cell biologist Dr. Stephen Hsu studied EGCG and its effect on skin cells, he found that it reactivated dying skin cells. "Cells that migrate toward the surface of the skin normally live about 28 days, and by day 20 they basically sit on the upper layer of the skin getting ready to die. But EGCG reactivates them. I was so surprised," Hsu said in a news release announcing his study findings.


EGCG may also help heal a number of skin conditions, including psoriasis, rosacea, wrinkles, and even wounds. The study was published in the online version of the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.
