Most overweight people go along with periods of dieting, then off dieting, slowly gaining and then losing a bit, while others continue to gain weight continuously until their Body Mass Index registers them as being in the overweight section of overweight. Additional problems are brought on by aging, they slow down using less energy to complete tasks, or skip them altogether. Exercising becomes more difficult due to loss of muscle tissue, (lowering our metabolic rate), aches and pains and reduced stamina.

Seven principles to stay slim

1. Stop eating when your stomach is 80% full. Eat slowly and chew the food well. Do ever binge yourself.

2. Consume fried and salty food in moderation as salt affects the excretion function and helps the fat to accumulate inside the body.

3. Use as little oil as possible when cooking.

4. Avoid snacks and late suppers. Do not eat anything 3 hours before going to bed.

5. Eat at regular intervals. Never never skip breakfast.

6. Eat as less meat and more vegetables. Do not eat the skin of chicken.

7. Do aerobic exercise (jogging and swimming) at least 3 times a week and at least 20 minutes each time.

Powerful Free Radical Protection

We know that we are exposed to free radicals and we cant actually avoid it. Free radicals are everywhere, generated by air pollution, sunshine, X rays, pesticides, car exhaust and even breathing and exercise. However by increasing our intake of free radical fighters – antioxidants, we are able to defend our cells from free radicals.

USDA measures the raw power of antioxidants by measuring the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC). It measures how well the antioxidants mop up the free radicals. The USDA recommends that we need to get about 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units daily, preferably from fresh vegetables and fresh fruits.

Chart entitled Top Antioxidant Foods, on page 48 of Discovery of the Ultimate Superfood by Gary Young ND, Ronald Lawrence MD, PhD, Marc Schreuder; Essential Science Publishing; © July 2005 listed dried wolfberries as one of the natural fruits with high ORAC unit ( about 20200 units). All antixoidant capacity measures are estimated by Ferric Reducing Power and are expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent (TE) per 100 grams or 3.53 ounces, accurate to ±5%.
