Now your healthy nutrition can be put on autopilot at Eat This Much. You just put how many calories you want to consume in how many meals and it will generate a variety of meal ideas. It can also take in account the various 'diets' that are out there.
A new study has found that you increase your cancer risk and shorten your lifespan if you get high animal protein during middle age. In your senior years, the opposite is true.
So how is that Daylight Saving Time/Spring Ahead going for you? It is funny how the hour-ahead time is increasing over time and nobody notices. It is all about time and making society more productive. Don't believe me? A few years back DST went from April to October. Now it's from March to November. Although I may be proven wrong on timelines, we have lost at least 40 hours of sleep per time change. But we are ever changing to suit our needs. Employers look at it like a weeks worth of work, and as warped as that sounds, it is a productivity issue. The only advantage of DST is that it stays 'lighter' longer in the evening. Still DST is a time to approach with caution since workplace injuries rise at this time.
Your weight loss attempts may be getting sabotaged by your coworkers and loved ones. As hard as it is to believe, your friends may be your enemies!

Health Journal 2
Welcome to Health Journal 2.
If you want to live a healthy lifestyle and maintain a healthy weight, have I got a couple of sites with tools you need. Consider these your texts and workbooks of a healthy lifestyle. I hope you joined My Well-Being and are waiting for, or downloaded, the Well-Being for Dummies book. It is loaded with useful information on My Well-Being's 4 stages of a healthy lifestyle.
Here is a site loaded with information and tools to live healthy. It has a BMI Calculator, a Food Exchange List, a Food and Activity Journal and I haven't even touched the surface. You're probably going to need a BMR Calculator to go with your other toys!
When it comes to the impact of exercise, long, slow workouts are better than short, intense ones. It's better to move all day rather than a couple of times a day.
You should learn to eat seasonal to help your body adjust to the changes. Get to know the seasonal healthy foods. You should find a way to eat healthy.
You can't say enough about boosting your mood. Here are six ways to boost it quick. It's the little things that help you find happiness. Of course there are foods and food preparation that can make you happy. And don't forget exercise or any activity as a mood booster.
Lets not forget the importance of our brains. Start by giving it the proper nutrition it needs to stay healthy. Saturated Fats, not only clog the arteries, but can also hurt the brain. Time to learn the good and bad when it comes to fats. Sounds repetitive but brain health is important. Your brain's best diet!
In health news, due to a computer glitch smokers will not be forced to pay higher insurance premiums. This means that we can expect insurance rates to skyrocket even higher for the rest, including the healthy.
People are living past 90 and their functions are improving. You can read more here.
The battle of the sexes has men as the winners when it comes to weight loss. Women don't despair and try these solutions.
Here are some strange but true health tips.
How far will you go to train? Are you so advance that you can go until you are exhausted? If done right, Crossfit may have extreme results as gymnastics meets Olympic weightlifting. But beware of the downfalls!
Finally, Don't be a Biggest Loser. It seems the show is sending a wrong message and can be dangerous.

Lifestyle Health
Sometimes I have so much to talk about that I don't know where to put it. It's not really a topic that would make for a well written blog entry, so I give you a variety of useful topics and links. Somehow, I don't think anyone will complain.
How much exercise do you need? That would depend on what you are planning to accomplish. At some point, the exercises should be for maintenance rather than for competition or building bigger muscles.
More and more people are finding homeopathic solutions for what ails them. Natural remedies doctors use to stay in tip top shape. I will be talking about homeopathic solutions in future entries.
Not to be outdone by the on-again/off-again reports of health benefits of alcohol and coffee, a link to health and marijuana has been found. Stay tuned!
It's summer so forget the gym and try these outdoor activities for fitness. While you're at it, keep that heart healthy with these four exercises.
Need health tools? Here's a few that are a must for a healthy lifestyle.
Remember this? Looks like in my assessment I may have missed the carbs in energy.
I have a problem keeping my fruits and vegetables from spoiling just days after I buy them. This can be rather costly. Lucky for me I found this!
If you are still struggling to enter a healthy lifestyle, maybe you should go back to square one. You might need to mentally prepare for it. This involves a mind over body approach.
It looks like there is a Healthy People 2020 project in the government's agenda. The site is rather informative and outlines its goals to bring about a healthy America. So along the same lines, check this site out.
Seems that cash will motivate people to embrace a healthy lifestyle. Fine here's your paycheck:
Quit smoking, save thousands a year on cigarettes. Eat right and exercise, save thousands a year on doctors. Eat healthy foods and eat less, save a few hundred a year. Overall the check can add up to about $5000 in savings a year.

Here is a tool to record your family health history.
MyFitnessPal gives you many tools such as a food journal, calorie counter and even lets you set a goal for weight loss, for example, and gives data on how to achieve it.

Perhaps it isn't good to diagnose yourself, but if you give your symptoms to Medify it will give you answers.
Greatist is a site with nutrition, exercise and an inspiration to total health. Everyday you get a recipe and a workout of the day.
Drugs.com is all the information you will need on prescription, over-the-counter and natural products.
