Rice, if it's eaten by itself, can have an impact
on blood sugar and insulin levels, but if eaten with other foods which digest
slowly such as fish and poultry, fibrous vegetables and healthy fats such as
peanut oil. The overall meal will not cause a spike in insulin levels.
As long as you eat rice and pasta the traditional
Mediterranean or Asian way, you can satisfy your taste buds and enjoy robust
good health.

LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH AN
ATTITUDE.
Everybody wants to be happy, healthy, and at least
reasonably prosperous. Everybody wants to be secure, to have friends, peace of
mind, good family relationships, and the hope that the future will be even
better. To do that your GOALS need to embrace the physical, the mental, and the
spiritual realms.
Physical balance has three major components:
1. Sleep-You must get a reasonable amount of sleep without it you cannot achieve
the laser � type focus needed to concentrate on your goals.
2. Diet- your diet must be reasonable and sensible, its quite simple, fruits,
vegetables, fish, grains, light carbohydrates, and water should be eaten each
day before anything else is.
3. Exercise- Make the commitment to walk 3-5 days each week for 30-60 minutes.
You�ll be amazed how order, balance, and motivation will radiate into your life.
The spiritual component is just as powerful. Studies show that people who
regularly attend worship of some kind,�whether church, synagogue, temple, or
mosque, earn more money, have fewer drug problems, a lower rate of divorce,
better intimate relationships, fewer nervous breakdowns and lower suicide rates.
Strive for a healthy balance in your lives.
LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE love, peace and fulfillment
will fill your heart.

"Don't let the fear of the time it will take to
accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it.
The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put
that passing time to the best possible use."

Top 10 Reasons not to skip your
breakfast
A new study shows that eating breakfast every single day is a key behavior among
people who average a 60-pound weight loss and have kept it off for six years.
The study in the Journal of Obesity Research was an ongoing look at successful
maintainers of significant weight loss.
Nearly 80 per cent of them eat breakfast everyday as part of their routine to
stay slender. Cereal was their favorite choice. Nutritionists suggest starting
the day with whole grains such as oat meal or brown rice which are low on the
glycemic index. These satisfying foods do not cause a sudden rise in blood
glucose. Instead, they tend to hold off hunger for several hours because they
are absorbed slowly into the bloodstream.
Breakfast can make or break a diet, because breakfast helps set the tone for the
rest of the day. If you�re one of those people who thinks skipping breakfast is
a good way to lose weight, think again. Here are the top reasons why you should
definitely eat breakfast every day:
1. Break the fast. What does "breakfast" mean? Your body responds to not
eating for hours and hours by "slowing down"; diminishing its metabolic rate and
burning fewer calories to conserve energy. By eating breakfast, you wake up your
metabolism and get your engine humming, burning those calories you need to burn
to lose weight.
2. Eat more, weigh less. Researchers have repeatedly shown that people
who eat breakfast have a better chance of losing weight, and keeping it off.
When you skip meals, you�re so hungry by lunchtime you eat the entire cow! The
National Weight Control Registry shows that among those who�ve lost 30 or more
pounds and have kept it off more than a year, 90 percent report eating breakfast
most days of the week.
