A new study has revealed that the vegetarian diet  is best for weight loss. If you cut out meat altogether and stick to a high protein low carb diet, you are more likely to lose weight. Even more so if you choose to go vegan.

Two simple things that will help you live longer are walking and drinking water. Yes, it’s not earth  shattering but neither is it difficult to do. If you spend most of your day sitting at a desk or simply moving very little, then get up every hour and walk around for just two minutes. In a study, it was found that this one small change had huge health benefits;it can reduce your risk of premature death by a third!!

The other simple change is to cut out one sugary drink per day and replace it with either an unsweetened drink or water. If you have sugar in your tea and coffee then try cutting out the sugar. It may be difficult at first, but you can get used to it and the health benefits are definitely worth it. There’s about a 22% increase in the risk of diabetes for every sugary drink you have regularly each day.

Being grateful reduces your risk of heart disease. It puts you in a better mood, improves your sleep, makes you less tired and lowers your risk of heart disease. It even reduces the risk of a second heart attack for those who take up the practice of feeling grateful!!

All of the time we are being advised not to eat processed foods but now it seems that they have their place too. It all depends what we class as processed. Nearly all of the foods we buy in supermarkets have been processed.Milk has to be processed for health and safety reasons. The obvious processed foods that are bad are mostly the ready meals. Frozen veg are good though. As they are mainly frozen on the day that they’re picked they can even contain more nutrients than fresh, due to the amount of time they have travelled to the shop and also how long they’ve been on the shelf. The same applies to tinned veggies. Although you need to be careful that not too much salt or sugar has been added.
