Oats, Nuts Can Help Reduce Cholesterol


“Worried about your cholesterol? Make sure you eat plenty of oats and nuts rather than just avoiding fatty foods, scientists say.

Researchers at the University of Toronto in Canada found that a diet rich in foods, such as oats and nuts, was more effective in lowering cholesterol levels than by cutting out saturated fats alone.

The diet that worked best in the study also included soy products such as milk, tofu and meat substitutes, while eating more peas, beans and lentils was encouraged, the Daily Mail reported.

The researchers discovered that a six-month change to the diet could result in a “meaningful” 13 per cent reduction in blood levels of LDL cholesterol, also called bad cholesterol.

Following the diet for longer would give a predicted reduction of almost 11 per cent in heart disease risk over a ten-year period, the researchers claimed.

For the study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the researchers looked at 345 patients suffering from high cholesterol. They were split into three groups, one of which was merely recommended to adopt a low-fat diet that included fruit and vegetables, while the other two were advised on a dietary “portfolio” consisting of specific foods known to lower LDL cholesterol such as nuts, oats, soy products and lentils.

One group was counselled during two clinic visits while the other underwent an “intensive” course of seven visits. After six months the low-fat group had experienced a drop in LDL cholesterol levels of three per cent.  "

Boost Up Your Energy Levels

Do you feel like you’ve lost the spring in your step? Do you worry that your lack of energy means you are growing old? Are you losing your spark?
This Blog gives you ten easy steps to help you regain your spirit.

Sleep
You will feel lethargic if you sleep late, and wake up late, or catch up on lost sleep during the weekends. Everyone knows that eight hours of sleep is ideal and essential, but how many of us get those eight hours? Here is what you can do to get some shut-eye.

    Try and get your body used to a specific sleep schedule and stick to it as far as you can. It will greatly improve your energy levels.
  
Sometimes, a small power nap during your lunch break can work wonders in restoring your stamina to see you through the day. It can be only a 15-minute nap, but it’ll give your mind the required rest and you’ll wake up feeling ready to face the world once again.

Exercise
It could be a dance class, a 15 minute walk to your office, join a gym or run up and down the stairs. It doesn't matter, as long as you get some exercise. It releases mood-enhancing endorphins and gives you that much-needed energy boost. If you don’t have time for a complicated routine, park a little away from your office and walk to it.

Water, Water, Everywhere
Fill a bottle of water and keep it at your desk. Sip from it constantly, to ensure that your daily quota of water. Replacing fluids lost during activities makes sure that your body has enough energy to keep you going through the day.

Eat Your Breakfast
 People who eat a regular breakfast will have better energy levels throughout the day. They can concentrate better, not feel drowsy and maintain better body weight.

Have Small Meals
 Rather than eating three heavy meals that put your body under sudden, heavy pressure, it’s best to eat small meals spread through the day. Eating a heavy lunch will inevitably cause an afternoon slump in energy. A healthy snack every three hours, along with a light lunch will keep your blood sugar levels from going awry. It also gives your body a constant supply of nutrients and helps decrease energy lost in digesting heavy meals.

Breathe Deep and Relax
Take deep, slow and deliberate breaths for about five to ten minutes. It will improve your stamina and make you feel more energized. You could also practice Pranayama yoga exercise as it is a great way to keep that energy meter in the green! Meditation and yoga bust the stress factor in your life and rejuvenate you to an extent that you feel capable of handling any task – whether big or small.

Soak in a tub of hot water with a few drops of lemon or orange oil sprinkled into it. The aromas rejuvenate you and the hot water eases out your tired body.

Purge Energy Killers From Your Diet
 Too much coffee, too much sugar, whether in the form of sweets, doughnuts, and chocolates, and even low-protein diets, are all factors that sap your energy. Sweets give you a sudden energy boost as does coffee, but the oscillating blood sugar levels will eventually send your energy plummeting. Keep these to a minimum! On the other hand, get some protein in the morning to ensure that your brain gets the dose it needs. Also, you might consider adding a multivitamin supplement to your diet if your low energy levels have been continuing for some time. But it is always better to consult a doctor before starting any kind of supplements.
Work That Mind
 Stimulate your mind with mind games like sudoku or do the crossword everyday. Take time out to read books, learn new things, do puzzles and utilize your brain to keep your mental energy sharp. Games like Scrabble, Charades and card games will test your memory and improve your problem solving ability.

Laughter is the Best Medicine
 Watch your favorite comedy show on TV or relax in the company of funny friends. Laughter is proven to drive the stress away and to lift up your energy levels.

A Cuppa Tea
  Tea infused with the right herbs, has been known to increase one’s stamina. Green tea, especially, with a combination of peppermint and ginseng, can lift up flagging energy levels. It is also a good source of antioxidants.
