Sensible Eating - Your Road to Health and Fitness

Eating healthy is the way to keep fit. Many people do not follow a sensible eating pattern. Instead they just eat whatever is on hand and try to save time when they eat. Or they just eat to satisfy the need at the time. This is not the way to eat if you want to stay healthy and fit.Health and fitness is not just about exercise, but about eating the right diet. Ideally you should not eat junk food or at least reduce it to a minimum. Instead of that high calorie low nutrition snack like chips and candy try a high fiber low sugar snack like fruit or vegetables. The fiber will fill you up and you will not be inclined to eat junk food. Also try to replace soda and sugary drinks with water.When you eat try to have 6 small meals instead of 3 large ones. Make sure you eat high fiber foods like whole grains instead of refined foods. Also eat plenty of vegetables and moderate amounts of fruit. When you do this you will be helping your body in two ways. Firstly, smaller, more frequent meals will make your metabolism faster and your digestion will be better. This will help you to burn more fat. Secondly eating more fiber will fill you up so that you will eat less.Eating less fried foods will cut down unnecessary fats and oils. You should eat a small amount of healthy vegetable oils every day. You can get these from nuts and cooking with a small amount of olive oil. You only need a small amount of these oils per day, so try to replace frying with broiling, baking, boiling or steaming.Cut down carbohydrates but do not completely get rid of them from your diet. Our bodies need essential sugars which are fond in carbohydrates. For this reason you should never go on diets that completely eliminate carbohydrates. In fact you will not have to go on a diet if you eat right.
Protein is a safe food to eat and this comes from dairy, meats, poultry chicken and pulses. You can also get protein from grains as well. It is wise to cut down red meat and eat more poultry, fish and protein from grains and pulses.If you eat properly you will not have to diet unnecessarily and you will feel healthier. You will lose weight by eating fewer calories than you burn and taking more exercise. Try to eat in a healthy way and get into the habit of doing so. Once you change your habits to healthy eating you will be able to maintain a fit lifestyle.

A Unique Mother's Day Gift For 8 Different Moms

Every year, we come to the same dilemma of what to get Mom for Mother's Day. Flowers, chocolate, jewelry... all good ideas, but nothing there jumps out as unique. Every mom has her own lifestyle, and you can't go wrong with a designer bag to match not only her fashion sense but for her own 'on the go' activities.1) Executive mom - Going to work every day and leading the world, this mom needs something professional and put together. Lodis is known for lush leather and timeless designs. Lodis's Audrey Brera laptop brief is a classic look that will work well in the board room, and can make an extra power statement in red. An interior padded laptop pocket keeps a laptop safe, and everyone loves the front organizer pocket that puts smaller items within easy reach.2) Traveling mom - Some moms love to travel, whether that is driving to local destinations with the family or hopping a flight to go a little further. The weekender duffel bag from Jane Marvel isn't your typical sports duffel, as it will fit a ton of stuff and has a more feminine shape with stylized handles. The water resistant laminate exterior is not just practical, but presents a more fashionable look.3) New mom - If a new baby is around the corner, there is no doubt that this mom will find a diaper bag to be handy. Basic black is always an option, but for spring, let mom have fun with a bright color, like those of the Amy Michelle Gladiola Baby Bag. Bright green and red come in a faux patent leather and have tons of internal and external pockets to hold bottles, food, and more. The bag looks more like a handbag, and can help mom ease into motherhood.4) Shopping mom - OK, admittedly this could be all moms. But, for the mom who just doesn't stop, we recommend the Baggallini Large Bag in a Pouch. A super lightweight, crinkle nylon pouch unfolds to a large bag to carry everything that may have been picked up on a large shopping trip. This is great for local trips but even better when mom may need to bring home extra finds from her travels. It makes a versatile gift for less than $50.5) Photography-loving mom - For the intense photographer mom, who doesn't just use her phone's camera to snap photos, we love the Ogio ty laptop and video backpack. It has padding and compartments galore to hold a full camera set up. It even includes a fold-up knee pad. The backpack style is perfect for the woman who takes pictures on the go or who travels just to take pictures.6) Blogger mom - She's juggling kids and carpools, but on the side, she's blogging a few times a day, posting bargains and tips. Perfect for her is a laptop bag that snugly fits her netbook. Higher Ground's Mini Shuttle (available in multiple sizes) carries a laptop securely but opens to become a portable "desk" so that this mom can blog comfortably from just about anywhere.7) Earthy mom - If your favorite mom is eco-conscious, we suggest a bag made from recycled goods. Rebagz Multi-Colored Large Tie tote is made from recycled juice packs (who would have guessed?). If it was fashionable enough to be featured on Ugly Betty, it's fashionable enough for most moms.8) Retro mom - If mom remembers Pan Am, or at least the spirit of when flying was actually fun, she'll love any of the bags from the Pan Am collection. The Pan Am Orion Travel Bag, for example, is a replica of what Pan Am gave to it's First Class travelers headed to Europe when air travel began in 1958!

Mother's Day only comes once a year, and a designer bag is a unique Mother's Day gift for many different kinds of moms. Whether your mom is tech-savvy and needs a laptop bag or is just a new mom and would like a more fashionable diaper bag, a gift of a designer bag will make Mom perk up and
