Point Out Your Worst Habit That Effects Your Health
Jump-start a month of wellness by vowing to conquer
your worst health habit. Need a hint? Some of the biggies are smoking,
skipping your workouts, drinking a lot of beer, eating junk and skimping
on sleep, says Rick Kellerman, M.D., chairman of the board of directors
of the American Academy of Family Physicians in Leawood, Kansas. Once
you've pinpointed your biggest bad habit, research ways to kick it.
Healthy Eating Hints
- Do not watch TV, talk on the phone or read
while you eat
- Use smaller plates and the food will look
like a larger serving
- Don't set serving dishes on the table; serve
from the stove or refrigerator.
- Ditch the "clean-plate-club." If you are
full - stop eating!
- Keep your consumption of caffeinated
beverages to a minimum. Caffeine can stimulate
your appetite.
