  1. I've tried the Paleo diet and I can say that it's one of the few diet plans that actually worked for me. Definitely helped in getting rid of the hunger pangs. After a week on the Paleo diet, I wasn't craving for sugary treats anymore. Although it did mess up my cholesterol levels a bit. :)
  2. I think it's more about choosing healthy food that will revitalize you and your heart. Eat for the sake of nourishment :)
  3. I used to do Yoga a lot. It's not only relaxing, but it can also give you a good stretch. I've noticed that I've become more limber and flexible after just 2 weeks of regular practice. It's also made my heart and mind calmer. :) Would love to try Pilates.
  4. Flaxseed and Licorice. :) My brother used to suffer from unbearable joint pain but after trying out a bunch of herbal remedies, he has narrowed it down to these 2. Herbal supplements are OK, but be aware that you can experience side effects if you're not careful with the dosage. Practice extreme caution, especially if you have a heart condition.
  5. I TOTALLY AGREE! :) It can also help reduce LDL cholesterol levels. LDL is also known as the harmful cholesterol. Reducing it may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
  6. this is a great list of DOABLE tips. i personally can vouch for #6: drink 4-7 glasses of water everyday. dehydrating youself is one of the worst things you can do for your body.
  7. Try not to overdo it. If you feel feverish, if you feel like there's something wrong with your heart, that's your body telling you that you need to get some rest. But if you really want to do a light workout, some stretching exercises would probably be ok. :)
  8. It really depends on the level of activity that you're getting everyday. carbohydrates are supposed to give you energy. if you're not using that up, then the body ends up storing the unused reserves into fat. the best way to keep your figure fit is to exercise regularly. Also, you need to be aware of your health problems, like for me, I'm still struggling with a cholesterol problem. I'm hoping to lower my bad cholesterol levels by making some crucial lifestyle changes like regular exercise and smarter food choices.
  9. I'll definitely keep this in mind. Need to look for ways to lower the cholesterol. Thanks :)
  10. I did the hip hop abs program awhile back to lose weight and lower my cholesterol. I enjoyed it immensely! lost 15lbs in one month! would love to try this out! :)
  11. I'm curious as to how coconut oil was able to lower your husband's BP. I always thought coconut oil was bad for someone trying to keep their Blood Pressure low.
  12. Hey everyone! Looking forward to sharing ideas and talking with all of you soon! My name's Leona Smith, 35 years old, a dentist by profession.
