DIETS THAT PREVENT CANCER, HEART DISEASE, ARTHRITIS, HYPERTENSION, and DIABETES
FROZEN DESSERTS
You can include frozen desserts in your life-extending program, but keep track of the calories. the number of calories in a 1/2-cup portion of various popular desserts is as follows:
FOOD CALORIES PERCENTAGE OF FAT
Low-fat frozen yogurt 90 1%
Ice Milk 90 5%
Low-fat frozen yogurt
Fruit-Flavored 105 1%
Sherbert, all flavors 135 1 1/2%
Ice Cream, Vanilla 135 10%
Low-fat frozen yogurt
with fruit preserves 160 1%
Ice Cream, extra rich
Vanilla 175 16%
Although low-fat frozen yogurts can be low in fat, watch out for added calories from fruit preserves or chocolate coatings. Check the ingredient label.
WHIPPED TOPPINGS
Many imitation dairy toppings contain coconut oil or palm oil. Both are high in saturated fats and calories. Whipped cream is high in saturated fats, cholesterol and calories.
Try plain, vanilla, or lemon yogurt or a mixture of plain yogurt and fresh fruit as a topping.
DIEBETIC DAIRY DESSERTS
You don't need to buy special dietetic dairy desserts to help you cut down on calories and saturated fats unless your doctor specifically recommends them. They are designed for people with special health needs. They often cost more than regular low-fat products.
Use regular low-fat, low-calorie dairy desserts, but serve moderate portions. You'll enjoy the taste and still be kind to your pocket-book and your bathroom scales.
FROZEN DAIRY SNACKS
Check the calorie and fat levels of frozen dairy snacks to see if they fit into your overall program. Here's a list of some popular items:
FOOD CALORIES FAT PERCENTAGE
Uncoated low-fat yogurt
bar, vanilla (2.4) fluid
ounces 60-70 2%
Fruit Popsicle
(3 fluid ounces) 70 0%
Creamsicle
(2.5 fluid ounces) 80 5%
Fudgsicle
(2.5 fluid ounces) 100 less than 1%
Chocolate or carob-coated
low-fat yogurt bar (2.5
fluid ounces) 120-130 15%
Chocolate-coated vanilla
ice cream bar 150 20%

QUENCHING YOUR THIRST
If you want a refreshing drink after exercising or after a long day of work, you may reach instinctively for a soft drink or a highball.
Ordinary soft drinks and alcoholic beverages give you far more calories than you should have, and they have no nutricional value. These are so-called "empty calories."
But consider the following list of thrist--quenchers. They are all refreshing and low in calories:
BEVERAGE CALORIES IN 8-OUNCE GLASS
Iced tea with slice of lemon 0
Carbonated water with a
tablespoon orange juice 15
Vegetable juice 40
Tomato juice 50
Unsweetened orange juice or
grapefruit juice 105-115
1/2 fruit or vegetable juice
and 1/2 carbonated water 50-55
Skim milk 90
1% low-fat milk 110
2% low-fat milk 130
Note that when you combine fruit juice with carbonated water, using four ounces of each beverage, you end up with half the calories you would have with pure fruit juice.
If you must have an alcoholic beverage occasionally, make it a glass of light white wine. This will give you less than half the calories you'd get in a Martini.

EXERCISE HELPS TO ADD 20 YEARS TO YOUR LIFE
FORMULA FOR WEIGHT LOSS
You will lose one pound every time you burn up 3,500 more calories than you consume.
Conversely, you will gain a pound every time you consume 3,500 more calories than you burn up.
If you decide to lose one pound a week, you must change the balance of your eating and exercise so that you burn up 500 more calories each day than you take in. Since seven times 500 is 3,00 you will lose a pound each week.
ROLE OF EXERCISE
Exercise is a great way to extend your life-line. Remember that overweight means an increased risk of premature death. Overweight people often have higher blood pressure, higher blood cholesteroll levels and are more likely to develop diabetes as adults than people at the proper weight.
Exercise will help protect you against life-threatening ailments.
It will also help you control your appetite. Physical activity does not necessarily increase your appetite. In fact, regular exercise often has the opposite effect. It controls your urge to overeat.
While exercise is of great value, don't expect it to do the impossible. You would have to walk moderately fast ( at 3.5 miles an hour) for 60 minutes to burn up the calories (300) in a fairly small piece of apple pie.
You must, therefore, combine healthy exercise with a low-calorie diet if you need to lose weight.
Here are the average calories burned up in an hour of various physical activities:
ACTIVITY CALORIES LOST PER HOUR
lying down or sleeeping 80
sitting 100
driving a car 120
standing 140
domestic work 180
bicycling (5 1/2 miles an hour) 210
walking (2 1/2 miles per hour) 210
gardening 220
canoeing (2 1/2 miles per hour) 230
golf 250
lawn mowing (power mower) 250
bowling 270
lawn mowing (hand mower) 270
fencing 300
rowboating (2 1/2 miles per hour) 300
swimming 300
walking (3 3/4 miles per hour) 300
badminton 350
horseback riding (troting) 350
square dancing 350
volleyball 350
roller skating 350
table tennis 360
ditch digging (hand shovel) 400
ice skating (10 miles per hour) 400
wood chopping or sawing 400
tennis 420
water skiing 480
hill climbing 490
skiing (10 miles per hour) 600
squash and handball 600
cycling (13 miles per hour) 660
scull rowing (race) 840
running (10 miles per hour) 900
These calorie figures can vary from person to another because of individual differences, including different levels of effort and body weight.
In the old days, people recognized that something in apple cider vinegar kept them disease free and vibrantly healthy. Today we know that vinegar contains 19 of 22 minerals essential for health and longevity.
Look for all the facts you need to use these remarkable vinegar cures for arthritis, headaches, heart disease, and more... COMING SOON! </145494>
