Diet & Weight Loss

At any given time, one out of three Americans is on a diet or some sort of weight loss plan. Unfortunately, most of them fail. Those who are successful share common strategies, such as dieting with a buddy and sticking to a strict schedule of meals. Research shows that overweight individuals who have a healthy weight loss of 5 percent of their body weight can significantly lower their risk of diabetes, stroke, and even some cancers.

Today's Health Tip
Diet & Nutrition
If you're starving and the only place you can find food is a vending machine or hotel minibar, reach for the nuts. Unlike many snack foods, they're packed with healthy fats that may fight heart disease, and they're a great source of vitamin E, fiber, and magnesium. Just remember that nuts are high in calories and should be eaten in moderation.
