Walk Away From Your Risk of Stroke

Stroke is the nation’s third leading cause of death. Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain stops due to a blood clot or burst blood vessel.  According to a new study, being only moderately fit can significantly lower your risk of having a stroke.

The study was led by Steven Hooker who heads the University of South Carolina’s Prevention Research Center in Columbia, SC.  The research was reported on February 21, 2008 during Hooker’s presentation at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference in New Orleans, LA.

For their research, Hooker and his colleagues used data from a study of more than 61,000 adults at the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas. After taking a treadmill test, the participants periodically answered health surveys. The latest research divided the group into four levels of fitness and looked at how many of them had strokes after following them for an average of 18 years.

The study found that men in the most fit group enjoyed a 40% reduction for risk of stroke compared to the least fit men. The most fit women enjoyed a 43% reduction in their risk of stroke compared with women in the least fit group. Hooker commented that even those who were moderately fit had a lower risk of stroke and that most people can reach that fitness range by walking briskly for 30 minutes a day, five times a week.

Spring is in the air and it’s time for all of us to put on our walking shoes.  Finding 30 minutes a day to walk is easy if you try.  Consider an early morning walk, a walk during your lunch break, a walk as soon as you get home from work or right after dinner. Take the dog along – take the kids along - and don’t forget your favorite Wholefood Farmacy snacks for wholesome nutrition and good, clean energy!

We've compiled a list of the seven most overrated foods. Read on and see... We bet you'll be surprised at some of the ones that made the list.

1.Energy Bars: "Energy" is code for calories. They may as well label most cereal/snack bars as "calorie bars." Most are closer to candy bars, containing 150 to 300 calories, with varying amounts of fat, sugar and salt, artificial coloring, flavoring and preservatives. Some bars contain trans fat.

If you insist on eating energy bars, read the label and choose one whose first ingredient is "whole grain," with at least 2 to 3 grams of fiber, no trans fat and a maximum of 1 gram of saturated fat.

2.Fruit Juice: The label reads "100 Percent Natural," so how can juice be overrated? It takes about five whole oranges to make about 4 ounces of orange juice -- a measly half-cup -- and you'll normally gulp it down in about four seconds. Peel and eat one, maybe two oranges, and you're full. Plus, you'll get a jolt of energyfrom natural fructose and fiber to fill you up. Now, that's an underrated bargain.

3.Protein Powder: If a little is good, is more better? When it comes to protein, no. The idea that you can build muscle by eating more protein has been discounted repeatedly. eDiets Chief Fitness Pro, Raphael Calzadilla, says, "Although protein in the correct amounts is vital for muscle growth, too much protein can have the opposite effect from what you're looking for. The body can only use so much protein, and excessive protein can actually convert to glucose. The key is actually to take in sufficient amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats." That will fuel your workout, which is what will build those muscles you're looking for.

4.Apple Cider Vinegar: A recent upswing in popularity for this old "home remedy" shows how people are always looking for the "magic bullet" for weight loss. Drinking apple cider vinegar won't make you lose weight, but it's so disagreeable it may make you lose your appetite for food. Overrated and unappealing.

5.Red Meat: Although a little lean beef (a 3-ounce portion of lean sirloin) fits well into most healthy diets, large portions of fatty steak means saturated fat, cholesterol and calories. The American Cancer Society reports that those who eat the most red meat, including beef, pork and processed meat products, have a 30 to 40-percent higher risk for colon cancer compared to only occasional meat-eaters. For men, replacing most of your red meat with fish reduces risk for some cancers, including prostate cancer. Everyone can benefit from including at least a couple of servings weekly of omega-3 fatty acid-rich fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel. Also healthful: skinless poultry and plant-based meals rich in beans, legumes and whole grains.

6.Sports Drinks: These liquids carry labels with dynamic colors and strong-looking athletes, but anything labeled "energy" makes my hair stand on end. Remember, "energy" is code for calories, and sports drinks are usually (very) expensive, sugary water with additives, artificial colors and preservatives. If you're an endurance athlete, intensively exercising for more than 1 hour, a liquid fortified with a bit of sodium and sugar can help replenish your electrolytes and glycogen stores, but otherwise, eight to 16 ounces of water, sipped before, throughout and following your workout, and an orange and a handful of salted peanuts after your workout to replenish will do the trick.

7."Natural" Sweeteners: Many people think sugar is a "bad" food, but honey, fructose or maple syrup are actually good. Although "natural" sweeteners may taste better than white sugar, they're all nutritionally about equal. That is, natural sweeteners don't provide enough nutrients to make much of a difference health-wise. Natural or refined, nutritive sweeteners such as sugar, honey or maple syrup all have about 16 to 20 calories per teaspoon. Portion size counts, especially when you're watching your calories.

When it comes to losing weight, the more you know, the more you lose.
