Having potato for breakfast is good in promoting and maintaining brain function because it contains glucose which is the main source of energy for brain. Potato being a good source of simple carbohydrates help raise the blood sugar levels high enough to promote brain function. Apart from sugars, these tubers contain Vitamin B6 and folic acid, which play an important role in generation of neurotransmitters like serotonin and melatonin.

Beans andwhole grains are low cost foods that strengthen bones. They contain high amounts of protein, calcium, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin K, potassium and several other nutrients which are good for your bones. Whole wheat bran, beans, almonds, sesame, flax, walnuts, sunflower and watermelon seeds are foods you must include in your diet if you want to keep all those aches and pains away.

We all know that milk is an excellent source of protein, calcium and vitamins. It is indeed a complete food. Your mom wasn’t wrong in forcing you to drink two glasses a day. One glass of milk (100ml of low fat or skimmed milk) provides you with your daily calcium requirement. Dairy products are also very good sources of calcium. 200 grams of yogurt should take care of your body’s daily calcium needs. Go for low fat or skimmed milk products instead of full fat ones.

Do not worry. Worry will not help you solve your problem and it is not good for your health. Worry is the main causes of many physical ailments that send people to hospitals. Remember that most of the things that you worry about will probably never happen anyway.

Spending 5 to 10 minutes per day to practice deep breathing can improve your overall health. Deep breathing reduces stress, relaxes your muscles, improve your oxygen intake and delivery to all your organs and stimulate your lymphatic system

Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water daily to help you with the digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, and the elimination of toxins from your body.

5 Tips for Good Digestion :

1. Eat in a relaxed way in a pleasant setting, and take your time. Chew your food until it is liquid. If you are under emotional pressure or in a hurry, take simple food – fresh juice, a fruit, yogurt, a few sunflower seeds, or a protein bar.
2. Keep up your exercise regimen. Walking and yoga are both particularly good for digestion. If you want to do any type of strenuous exercise, wait at least two hours after eating any significant amount.
3. Drink enough water (6 to 8 cups a day), but not with meals unless you're on a weight-loss diet trying to lower food intake. Minimize ice cold drinks and consume more soothing warm drinks such as hot lemon water or herb teas.
4. Get enough fiber in your diet, whether from vegetables and fruits, bran or psyllium, and an adequate amount of whole grains and fresh sprouts (or cooked legumes if digested well).
5. Support and repair the digestive tract with the right nutrients, such as glutamine and other vitamins and minerals. Remember: Eat a low allergenic diet, find the best foods that feel right to you, and chew your food well.

Magnesium: The Stress Reliever
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in your body, a necessary co-factor for hundreds of enzymes, and the most critical mineral of all for coping with stress. Stress-related diseases which run rampant through modern society, like heart attacks and high blood pressure, are often accompanied by magnesium deficiency.
The best food sources of magnesium are vegetables like buckwheat (kasha), mature lima beans, navy beans, kidney beans, green beans, soy beans (including tofu), blackeyed peas, broccoli, spinach, Swiss chard, oats, whole barley, millet, bananas, blackberries, dates, dried figs, mangoes, watermelon, almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazel nuts, shrimp, and tuna.

When you are chronically stressed, you can become magnesium deficient even if you eat these foods regularly. The complex relationship between magnesium and stress explains why many of the patients I see require magnesium supplements, because even a nutritious diet does not correct their magnesium deficiency.

If you are like most people, when you are exposed to the stress of contin-uous loud noise, for example, you become irrita-ble, easily fatigued and lose concentration. Your blood pressure may increase as the level of adrenalin, a stress hormone, in-creases in your blood. Under conditions of mental or physical stress, magnesium is released from your blood cells and goes into the blood plasma, from where it is excreted into the urine. Chronic stress depletes your body of magnesium. The more stressed you are, the greater the loss of magnesium. The lower your magnesium level to begin with, the more reactive to stress you become and the higher your level of adrenalin in stressful situations. Higher adrenalin causes greater loss of magnesium from cells. Administering magnesium as a nutritional supplement breaks this vicious cycle by raising blood magnesium levels and buffering the response to stress, building your resistance.

Personality has a marked effect on the stress-magnesium cycle.

Laboratory tests for magnesium are often misleading in evaluat-ing your need for magnesium, because blood magnesium levels fluctuate, depending upon where you are in the cycle of stress responses and magnesium depletion. Your symptoms are a better guide. Muscle tension, spasm and twitching are the most characteristic symptoms of magnesium depletion, followed by palpitation and breathlessness. Irritability, fatigue, trouble falling asleep and hypersensitivity to loud noises are also common. The presence of migraine or tension headache, unexplained chest pain, strange sensations of the skin (like insects crawling) and abdominal pain or consti-pation are further indications of magnesium deficiency. If you are suffer from any of these symptoms, or if you are being treated for heart disease or high blood pressure, you may need a magnesium supplement.

The best dietary supplements are the acid salts of magensium like magne-sium chloride, citrate, gluconate or glycinate. The dose needed varies from one hundred milligrams to about five hundred milligrams per day of elemental magnesium. Too much magnesium can cause diarrhea. Magnesium taken by mouth is very safe, except in people who suffer from kidney disease or are severely dehydrated. These people may develop levels of magnesium in blood that are too high; they should only take magnesium supplements under strict medical supervision. Just as magnesium taken at bedtime can induce sleep, so high blood levels of magnesium may cause drowsiness and lethargy.

You’re only as healthy as the trillions of cells that make your body. And healthy cells need good cell membrane function, assimilation and cellular nutrition

Are You Drinking Enough Water?
Water and other healthy beverages are important in your diet. While water is very important for your health, there are some times when drinking too much water can be a problem:

* If you have any kidney or adrenal problems, or your doctor has you taking diuretics, you need to consult with your doctor about how much water to drink each day
* Don't drink all of the water you need per day all at once. Divide the amount you need and drink several glasses of water throughout the day. This is especially important if you engage in lots of heavy exercise.
* Infants should be given only formula or breast milk unless your pediatrician tells you

Fruits and Vegetables
Everybody needs five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day. They are low in calories, high in nutritional value and absolutely delicious
It's hard to argue with the health benefits of a diet rich in vegetables and fruits: Lower blood pressure; reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and probably some cancers; lower risk of eye and digestive problems; and a mellowing effect on blood sugar that can help keep appetite in check.

If you go without sleep for a period of time, every area of your life will be ultimately affected. If it becomes a regular pattern in your life, you could endanger your health and reduce your overall performance. This can ultimately affect all other areas of your life, personal as well as professional.

•Health and Fitness-Regular exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Aerobic exercise is good for your heart and your body. Yoga has a therapeutic affect and also helps to reduce your stress level. Pilates are great for strengthening your “core” muscles which are situated around your midsection. You could consider some other forms of exercise like Tai Chi, martial arts and Qi Gong. It is essential that you incorporate any kind of exercises in to your daily life to help keep you fit and maintain your weight at a healthy level.

You will find that nutrition, fitness and personal growth are all dependent on each other. It does little good if your body is healthy, but you are unhappy with your life. It is important to allow yourself to discover a healthy lifestyle balance in all of these areas of your life. I've found it is often a lack of balance that leads to eating issues in the first place

You cannot have a healthy lifestyle without balance. What I see with so much of the health advice today is it is often unrealistic and unnecessary. In fact, this fanaticism with healthy eating seems to make people less healthy overall. Over the past 20 years, the mainstream healthy lifestyle message has been correlated with an increase in both eating disorders and weight issues.

Rest and relaxation are just as important to our body as exercise and healthy eating. If you don’t get enough of them you can make yourself ill. Your body is a bit like a battery. If it is not allowed to recharge itself through sleep and relaxation it may stop working properly. Lack of sleep affects our ability to concentrate. When you dream, your brain may be clearing itself out and preparing itself for the next day's thinking. During your teens, you need at least eight hours' sleep a night. If you stay out late, try to go to bed early the next night. The effects of lack of sleep can build up over several days. When you are awake you make many demands on your mind and body. Your body needs a period of rest to repair itself and prevent it from getting worn out. During sleep, substances called hormones stimulate body tissues to grow and repair themselves. If you have troubles getting to sleep, try reading a book to calm your mind or take some exercise and avoid tea, coffee or food before bedtime. A hot, milky drink may help you relax.
