Eat anything you really want, just eat less of it. Some fat-free foods contain more calories than the regular version. It sounds like a dumb cliche', but aerobic exercise of moderate intensity done most days of the week will burn off fat and, combined with strength training, will stimulate the release of fat from your fat cells. Strength training will also stop muscle loss and help delay osteoporosis and the joint stiffness that may accompany aging. Dehydration leads to lethargy and headaches.
Water can be a good substitute for boredom eating.
Six to eight glasses of water each day are the minimum. Focus on what you like about yourself instead of the negatives. Discover a stress relief technique that works for you - yoga, walking the dog, or just reading a good book. This information is being provided as a courtesy to our web site visitors. As always, your best advice comes from your physician or other health care provider.
