Hey, listen up! You don’t have to suffer to be healthy. You don’t have to deprive yourself. You don’t have to kills yourself to lose weight. You don’t have to take Phen375 diet pills. You can eat and be healthy while enjoying life! Here are some great food ideas that are delicious.

Fish, particularly the oily fishes such as sardines, herring, tuna and salmon, served at least twice a week, add variety to the menu and elasticity to the coronary arteries. Cheese does not have to be abandoned, but cheddar or stilton, traditional as they are, should be reserved for more occasional use. Instead, rather surprisingly, brie and the cottage cheeses, which are better for cholesterol levels, may be eaten instead.

The ideal is to have a helping of five different vegetables or fruit daily. Sprouts, spinach, broccoli, peas and beans are as good for you as nanny insisted. Carrots, peppers and tomatoes are rich in carotinoids and other flavinoids, as well as anti-oxidants, which are thought to preserve the health of the lining of the coronary arteries, thus preventing the deposition of atheroma and lowering the blood pressure.

Vegetables contain a wide mix of anti-oxidants, which accounts for the dietician's belief that eating the natural product is more effective than taking a pill (which usually contains only one). Lettuce, however, may add colour to a salad but is almost totally devoid of any food value.

Alcohol, which has a cardio-protective effect, is good for both men and women in reasonable quantities. Beer, white wine and even spirits are beneficial in small amounts, but red wines are even better. Red wine, because the skins of the grapes used in its making contain phenolic substances, which are anti-oxidant, is about three times as cardio-protective as other forms of alcohol.

Alcohol helps to prevent the formation of blood clots and increases the proportion of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which is cardio-protective, to the more pernicious low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The maximum benefit is achieved if two to four drinks a day are taken, preferably with meals. Any advantage over tee-totallers is lost once the intake exceeds six drinks a day.

Obesity is associated with diabetes, hypertension, heart attacks and heart failure. Obesity is particularly dangerous to the cardiovascular system when the excess weight is at the mid-line, when the patient has a protuberant belly and chest but spindly limbs. People with legs like tree-trunks and arms like a wrestler's, and a thorax and abdomen to match, tend to have less heart disease. Patients look rather surprised when their doctor acts like a tailor, produces a tape measure, and compares the girth of their abdomen with their hips. The waist should measure less than the hips.
​
In order to help their heart, the aim of all those who are overweight should be to lose 2lb a week, regularly and steadily, until the ideal weight is achieved. There are many ways to do this, such as walking, swimming, and following a yoga program like the Yoga Burn program. Losing weight too quickly may alter the body's metabolism, so that any future weight loss is more difficult, and weight gain once the diet is abandoned, too easy.

New Artificial Insemination Method

British doctors are investigating a new method of artificial insemination which involves injecting sperm into a woman's abdomen. The treatment, which has been pioneered by French doctors, is very simple and can be used for some women instead of the more difficult test-tube fertilization.

Five French women who were infertile have become pregnant following the treatment. They are the first cases of pregnancy arising as a result of sperm swimming to the egg from the 'wrong' direction. One of the women is expecting her baby within a month, after trying unsuccessfully for eight years. Her husband had a very low sperm count but the French doctors managed to make her conceive at the first try using only 200,000 sperm. A normal ejaculation contains around eight million sperm.

'The method is very economical,' says Dr Israel Nisand, one of the doctors who devised the method at Strasbourg University and at a hospital in Schiltigheim. The women were prepared with the drug Clomiphene and hormones so that they shed an egg; 35 hours later specially prepared sperm were injected. The injection was made through the wall of the vagina into an extension of the abdominal cavity next to the womb known as the pouch of Douglas. This is very near to where the egg is shed.

'It just takes two minutes to make the injection,' says Nisand. 'Five out of 16 women have become pregnant. We have great expectations of the method. ' Experiments with animals have shown that small particles put into the female abdomen at this point are swept up and collected into the top of the oviduct (tube) and taken on down into the womb. This is the route by which the egg normally reaches the womb. But for the sperm it means going backwards.

Dr Robert Winston tried a similar method at Hammersmith Hospital in London a few years ago without success. 'We only tried it on five women. Now that the French have been successful, I would like to try again,' he says. 'It is a relatively cheap method, it is painless and easy to do - theoretically the timing does not need to be so precise. '
