Hidden fat poses health risks

Chrysalis Program — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 16:05:09 +0000

Subcutaneous fat, the fat we accumulate right under the skin and can see plainly may be considered unsightly, but it is not as dangerous to overall health as visceral fat, the fat deep in the belly surrounding the vital organs.
According to a new study by researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the way to zero in and reduce visceral fat is simple: eat more soluble fibers from vegetables, fruits and beans, and engage in moderate activity. The study found that for every 10- gram increase in soluble fiber eaten per day, visceral fat declined by 3.7% over 5 years. In addition, an increase in moderate activity resulted in a 7.4% decrease in the rate of visceral fat accmulation over the same time period.
Getting 10 grams of soluble fiber into your diet is not complicated. For example, you can eat two small apples, 1 cup of green peas and half-cup of pinto beans. Moderate activity means exercising vigorously for 30 minutes two to four times a week.

Quote

Chrysalis Program — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 20:37:06 +0000

Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.
– Charles Swindoll

Dietitian’s tip:
These kebabs work well with any type of fruit, including more exotic types such as star fruit, kumquats or prickly pears. To prevent fruit from browning, dip in pineapple or orange juice.
