Nature intends man to have a perfect balance of weight according to the height and physical make up. Who ever heard of overweight 50 years ago. Finding overweight people was a rarity in those days when food habits were healthy.

Here is a list of all that you can do to lead a perfectly health and life.

Eat a veriety of food derived from vegetable sources. Better if the vegetable and plant food sources are organically grown.

Herbal Foods are best for building a good immunity against disease. Many Herbal Foods have a inbuilt protection against weight gain due to being fat free and herbal medicinal components which prevent fat accretion

Avoid all foods derived from animals and poultry sources as they are high levels of fats and dead foods.

Eat very less or altogether avoid food rich in sugar especially the refined sugar and sugary soft drinks.

Cook the food in a safe and hygienic manner. Boiled, steamed and baked food is better than the fried and oil rich varieties.

Avoid salt. It should not be more than 6 gms at best in a day. Cured, processed and packed foods have very high salt content for preservation. It is best to avoid such food items.

Maintaining good fat free physical condition requires very simple and easy steps as outlined above. This alone with a little bit of walking can cut your weight by about two to three Kilograms a month.

Topic: Weight Management
United States Agricultural Department has released dietary guidelines for all Americans to choose a nutrition program based on age, physical activity etc. My Pyramid is an attempt at providing a nutrition and physical activity plan to suit different individual requirements that would help fight overweight and obesity challenge faced by U.S.

My Pyramid is also recognition of the fact that ?eat less? suggestions do not have an impact on the weight management. The food pyramid suggested by the agricultural departments is all about moderation and balancing the diets while taking personal responsibility for ones own health.

The dietary guidelines are available to the public at MyPyramid.gov. It has detailed guidelines on benefits of physical activities, calories burned with different types of physical activities, tips for increasing physical activities and more interestingly an interactive My Pyramid Tracker for an in-depth assessment of your diet quality and physical activity status.
The tool calculates the food calories/energy balance through inputting your age, sex and physical activities. The tracker is available at MypyramidTracker

The My pyramid Dietary Guidelines makes for a very interesting reading for all who are interested in choosing a healthy lifestyle with a balance of nutrition and exercise.

Spirulina A Wonder Food Supplement
Topic: Herbal Health
I have been writing about herbal and nutritional supplements for quite some time. But what I read in the pages of Mike Adams Newstarget.com is really awesome and and informative. You can also read a Free eBook on Spirulina and Chlorella, which is an eye opener. The best part is Mike has no financial or affiliate stakes in promoting these two products and that is perhaps why it has a ring of sincerity and conviction.

Thanks mike for putting out such a wonderful site with so much information for health lovers like me. I absolutely recommend is as a must read.

Obesity Control Is a Social Issue
Much has been written about obesity and globesity. Obesity is perhaps the biggest drain on any nations economic resources with a mind-boggling costs to which researchers are yet to put a final figure. But the estimates run into trillions of dollars across the world.

Governments across the world is mired in deep bureaucratic mechanisms to do anything more than put out food guidelines. Even this does not reach the public.

The issue needs to be tackled massively by the society that has spawned the problem in the first place.

So what are the social alternatives?

Dissemination of Information

This perhaps could be biggest tool to use against the fight for obesity control. Every institution from schools and collages to corporate have to disseminate, nay flood their audience with information on obesity and weight control, its evils, cost to individuals and food guidelines to control obesity. The stakes now are too high for everyone for the issue to be left to government alone to tackle.

Social Boycott of Fast food joints

A massive campaign especially aimed at the youth on the perils of a fast food culture and how it is eating into the very vitals of a healthy society. The campaign may include ‘No Fast Food’ days, creation of nutritional communities and clubs that actively protest the opening of new fast food joints in the local community. Nutritional communities may bring pressure on the fast food companies to put out nutritional information on the food they serve.

Promote Physical Activities

Every one especially children must be educated on the benefits of increased physical activities. The computer and television has been a major inhibitor of good health among children and adults alike. The community should raise funds to promote physical culture events and create awareness through public interest advertising.

Lobby the Government

There should be an effective lobbying to legislate laws against fast food and junk food companies, carbonated drinks and beverages that promote high calorie junk full of toxic chemicals disguised as fruit juices.

Promote Health Foods and Herbal Nutrition

Traditionally herbal food supplements have less cause to create trouble. Increase awareness about Herbal food items and herbal nutritional supplements that promote physical wellness, build immunity and helps in reducing body fat. Awareness of the health effects and the bio friendly nature of herbal food supplements would definitely help in combating the problem largely.

Its time for the society to act to control the menace of obesity, take responsibility so that our future generations may lead a better and more qualitative life and enjoy the fruits of all the modern scientific developments.
