The Life-Transforming Diet
based on Health and Psychological Principles
of Maimonides: (p. 9) In ancient
medicine, prevention of disease and
nutrition played a central role, as Rambam
writes: "In the practice of medicine, the
first and most important regimen is the one
for the healthy, which insures that the
existing state of health is not lost." --
and -- "An expert physician who wants to
guard his patient's health begins by
improving [the latter's] diet."

Water Which is better, tap water or bottled water?

Cutting back on the lattés, avoiding the vending machines and
exercising regularly can pay off -- up to $2,489 a year. Oh,
and you might live longer.
Some Ideas on how to lose weight:
- Slow down when you eat ...
set your fork down in between bites.
- Drink plenty of water.
- I need to lose some
weight, and I have come to realize that there is a
difference between what you think you eat and what you
actually did.
- For every extra 250
calories you must walk 1/4 to one mile. Or you can do a
mitzvah that day of 1/4 hour to 1/2 hour to help someone.
If you are watching TV, get up and do something during the
commercials.

Lead researcher Kathleen
Melanson had 30 normal-weight college-age women consume a
large bowl of pasta. They were asked to eat the food quickly.
On a second occasion they were asked to eat the same meal -
but to really take their time.
The Results:
- Eating quickly -
consumed 646 calories in 9 minutes.
- Eating slowly
- consumed 579 calories in 29 minutes.
Food for the Soul
Just as there are foods that
are good for the body and foods that are harmful, so are there
foods that nourish the inner person -- the soul -- and foods
that harm it.
Without food
we can not live... We all have heard the famous line, "Man
does not live by bread alone...."

| Those
who cope with feelings with emotional eating tend to
choose foods that are high in fat, protein and carbohydrates
or "comfort foods." Some common comfort foods
include ice cream, chocolate, pizza, macaroni and cheese
and fast food to name a few. These components work chemically
in the brain to temporarily improve one’s mood. |
