Mother's Day - Foods to Eat!

I hope you had a great Mother's Day,
We had great weather for it!
It is an important day to remember what our mother's have done for us and to be thankful to them!
We had a great day today along the Cordova Bay, it was an awesome view of the ocean and we had a REALLY good lunch!

On a lighter note, here is some great advice on foods to choose and how to lose that stubborn body fat!

When you are looking for a snack grab these;
Grapes - they may help prevent colon cancer.
Carrots/broccoli
Bananas
Apples
Kiwi
Mango
Any veggies/fruit

The key to aiding weight loss is to cut the calories, that can mean as little as cutting 100 calories daily.
It can stave off creeping weight gain — and that can decrease your risk of developing breast cancer.
Easy ways to cut calories:
•Replace 8 ounces lemonade (110) with lemon-flavoured seltzer (0).
•Trade a multigrain kaiser roll (180) for half of a whole wheat pita (70).
•Toss whole wheat pasta with 1 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes (60) instead of 1 cup tomato sauce (160).
•Spread a sandwich with 2 tablespoons of hummus (50) instead of 2 tablespoons of mayo (180).

It is a good idea to walk off harmful fats
Brisk walkers may outpace joggers in lowering triglycerides, a blood fat linked with increased heart disease risk. Adults in a Duke University study who walked for 50 minutes 4 times a week decreased triglyceride levels by 22 percent, nearly twice as much as those who ran for the same time.

So you want to get in some cardio on your off days, when your not training!
Lower intensity workouts may control triglycerides better because they use fats as their primary fuel, while high-intensity efforts draw on the quick energy of glucose as well as fats.

So combine the high and low intensity! Aim for 45 mins per day, of exercise! The more the better!
