HABITS TO A HEALTHY HEART (2/10)
When we think about a healthy heart, the first thing that comes to mind is cholesterol. Most of us know all about bad cholesterol and its effects, that it can cause heart attacks or strokes if not monitored. But what is good cholesterol? High-Density Lipoprotein or HDL is the good type of cholesterol. An example of what HDL does for the heart is similar to what a cleanser does for cleaning dirt. When you replace the dirt for bad cholesterol (LDL) then you have a pretty good idea of what HDL does inside your veins and arteries. Your goal is to increase the level of your good cholesterol. But how can you do that? Here is a good place to start.
Exercise: Any activity that forces your heart rate up for a period of thirty or more minutes will increase HDL levels. Aerobic exercise will also help you lose fat, which is believed to contribute to higher LDL levels.
Diet: Add more dark green vegetables to your diet. Also avoid trans or saturated fats. It's believed that these increase your LDL. Eat more pure protein like fish or skinless chicken. Whole wheats are your friend, because they are loaded with simple carbohydrates.
Drink: Researchers have found that an alcoholic drink enjoyed over dinner can help to raise good cholesterol in the blood. However limit yourself to one or two.
Stop Smoking: Here is a good reason to quit. Giving up tobacco automatically raises HDL.
Sleep More: Just as mental stress can affect your overall health, so too can physical stress. This comes from over working the body and not giving the cells enough of a chance to repair themselves. Aim for at least eight hours of uninterrupted sleep per night.
Eliminate Stress: Stress is known as the silent killer for good reason. A positive relationship has been shown connecting stress to heart disease. This does not reflect directly to cholesterol, but why take chances. Stop to smell the roses, leave work at work. Do something nice for your partner or yourself. This will help you to live a longer, happier life!
EVER WONDER WHY DIETING JUST DOESN'T WORK?
4 Reasons Why Most Diets Fail
-from the editors of Best Life
Nutritionists agree that most diets aren't worth the paper they're printed on. They realize that the key to losing weight is adopting a sound, sustainable eating plan and then sticking with it, rather than opting for some wacko quick fix.
Problem #1: Diets don't last.
The problem with virtually all diets is the short-term mindset into which they feed. Many women approach diets as an all-or-nothing proposition. Rather than making small, even incremental changes in lifestyle that can last a lifetime, diets encourage you to turn your life inside out for two weeks or so. Yet once those two weeks are over and you return to your old habits, guess what? Your body returns to its former state as well. If there's a rule of thumb to be had in this regard, it's that small changes last and big ones don't. Saying that you'll change everything you're doing wrong starting on Monday morning and straight-line it from there might sound impressive — and earn you some kudos — but it doesn't change your underlying behavior patterns. It's the slow, steady route that ultimately leads to success.
Problem #2: Diets make you hungry.
Diets typically treat fat loss as a function of nutrition only, when training is equally important. The diet world is about tearing down, and sports nutrition is about building up. You'll lose weight by creating a calorie deficit — burning more calories than you eat. You'll create that deficit, however, mostly through training and not through drastic dieting. The calories you burn in your Jazzercise class added to the metabolism boost you get from muscle growth will kick your body into fat-burning mode — without making you hungry.
Problem #3: Diets make you tired.
A chronic problem with diets is that so many of them are simply too low in calories. Because they don't provide enough energy for you to do your workouts and accomplish everything else you need to do in a day, they're a short-term solution at best. Even when weight-loss programs incorporate exercise — and, astonishingly, many don't — they typically ask you to eat like a gerbil and then train like a hamster by running or cycling endlessly in place. You may shed a few pounds in the short run, but you'll also forsake muscle, and the resulting metabolic downshift will soon take you back to square one. Whether it's being done on a treadmill or stationary bike, in class, or on a squeaky metal cylinder, endless cardio performed on restricted calories is a road to nowhere, literally and figuratively.
This is especially true if you're following one of the ultra-low-carb diets that are so popular now. Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for physical activity, and decades of research has shown that low-carb diets don't adequately support strenuous physical activity or athletic performance for extended periods of time. In contrast, a diet moderate in carbs will supply enough energy for the average woman to stay active and still burn fat. Endurance exercise requires more carbohydrates than strength training does, but in neither case will training be optimized without sufficient carbs.
Problem #4: Diets cannibalize your muscle.
Diets also tend to pay too little attention to supporting muscle mass during periods of caloric restriction. This is important for more than just aesthetic reasons. And when you lose muscle, your basal metabolic rate drops, and you don't burn as many calories.
Often women try to burn off the fat first and then build the muscle. To do that, you have to lower your calories so far that you don't have the energy to train hard in class. You burn more muscle than fat, lowering your metabolic rate and setting the stage for weight gain.
This is why eating well—nutritionally and sustainably—is the key to success in losing unwanted pounds and building the sleek kind of physique that both feels and looks great!

SUPERMARKET PSYCHOLOGY
Your supermarket employs clever strategies to encourage shoppers to spend more; how can you keep control of your wallet and your waistline?
Have you ever gone shopping hungry and come out of the supermarket in shock, having spent far more than you thought you were going to? Or found yourself staring at products in your home, thinking, why on earth did I put that in my cart?
If so, then you've succumbed to supermarket psychology, the marketing tactics that are employed by stores to get people like you to buy more products than you really need.
Marketing expertise
Supermarkets have been employing marketing experts and psychologists to design their stores for many years. The simple plan is to entice you to buy lots of goodies; whether or not you actually need them is beside the point.
Recognize the following devices?
An in-store bakery: The smell of freshly baked bread is designed to make us hungry and get us spending.
Produce near the front door: Fresh food looks best in natural light, hence you find these areas near the opening to the supermarket.
Hidden staples: Milk and bread are set far apart from the entrance and each other, to encourage consumers to walk through all parts of the store.
The "end cap" trick: Special displays at the end of the aisles, known as end-caps, are laden with offers; shoppers notice them more than regular displays.
Eye-catching at eye level: More expensive items with higher profit margins are placed at eye level, while the shop's basics range will be on the floor — companies actually pay more to have their products at eye level, as shoppers are considered "lazy" and will see them first.
David Lewis, a consumer psychologist and author of The Soul of the New Consumer: Authenticity, What We Buy and Why in the New Economy (Nicholas Brealey Publishing Ltd.) has spent 15 years analyzing how we buy. He says, "Nothing is left to chance. From the width of the aisles (planned so that you are prevented from bumping into other people, but aren't so wide that you can't get your hands on products) to the music (composers even spend their lives writing music designed to entice shoppers to buy more goods), a supermarket is a place where a consumer and his money are meant to part company. Remember that a supermarket is a bit like a machine; its mission is to get you to spend, so to counter this, you need to keep your wits about you."
The supermarkets have vast amounts of data about our shopping habits from point of sale, loyalty card databases and market research data that are given to psychologists and the retail geographers to create an optimum store layout.
So. . .can you avoid the pitfalls of supermarket psychology? Yes, if you keep your wits about you and observe the following guidelines.
• Go in with a list and stick to it
• Eat before you go shopping
• Stick to buy one, get one free offers and fresh produce markdowns; don't get sucked into special offers if you can — they are often misleading.
• Check if generic brand products are as cheap and as good as branded — sometimes they aren't
•Consider shopping online — you won't be tempted by in-store marketing!

EXERCISE for ENERGY: WORKOUTS THAT WORK! (WebMD)
Want to fight fatigue? Here's what kind of exercise -- and how much -- is best.
There you are, sitting on the couch, remote in hand, thinking, "I should be exercising. If only I weren't too tired to get off the couch!" Indeed, fatigue is among the most common complaints doctors hear. But you might be surprised to learn that experts say one of the best antidotes to beating fatigue and boosting energy is to exercise more, not less.
"It's now been shown in many studies that once you actually start moving around -- even just getting up off the couch and walking around the room -- the more you will want to move, and, ultimately, the more energy you will feel," says Robert E. Thayer, PhD, a psychology professor at California State University, Long Beach, and author of the book Calm Energy: How People Regulate Mood With Food.
And, experts say, when it comes to fighting fatigue, not all exercise is created equal. Read on to find out what kind of exercise -- and how much -- you should be doing for optimum energy-boosting results.
Just How Does Exercise Boost Energy?
In a study published in the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics in 2008, University of Georgia researchers found that inactive folks who normally complained of fatigue could increase energy by 20% while decreasing fatigue by as much as 65% by simply participating in regular, low-intensity exercise.
Further, Thayer says, a study he plans to present at an American Psychological Association meeting reveals that on days when people walked more total daily steps, they ended the day with more energy then on days when they walked less.
How exactly does this happen?
"Contrary to popular belief, exercising doesn't make you tired -- it literally creates energy in your body. Your body rises up to meet the challenge for more energy by becoming stronger," says nutritionist Samantha Heller, MS, RD, a nutrition advisor for the Journey for Control diabetes program.
Heller says this happens on the cellular level, where the first stirrings of our natural energy production begin. "It all begins with tiny organs called mitochondria. Located in our cells, they work like tiny power plants to produce energy," she says.
While some of that energy comes from your diet (one reason that eating too little can power down your metabolism), the number of mitochondria you have -- and thus your ability to produce energy -- is affected by your daily activity.
"For example, the more you exercise aerobically, the more mitochondria the body makes to produce more energy to meet your needs, which is one reason how -- and why -- regular cardiovascular exercise actually creates more available energy for your body," says Heller.
Exercise for Energy: What Really Works
So just how do you go about getting some of this energy for yourself?
First of all, Thayer says, it's important to understand that there are different types of energy. And not all have the same positive effect on the body.
He says that many Americans, particularly "achievement-oriented Type A people" have "tense energy" -- an effective state that allows you to get lots of work done, but that can quickly move into tense-tiredness, a negative state often associated with depression.
On the other hand, what he calls "calm energy" is a combination of a high physical and mental energy level, paired with low physical tension. It is this state, he says, that offers more long-lasting energy. And, he says, it can be achieved with the right kind of exercise.
"What summarizes the relationship best is moderate exercise -- like a 10- or 15-minute walk -- has the primary effect of increased energy, while very intense exercise -- like working out at the gym, 45 minutes of treadmill -- has the primary effect of at least temporarily reducing energy, because you come away tired," he says.
Behavioral therapist and personal trainer Therese Pasqualoni, PhD, agrees. When exercising for energy, she says, "You should always aim to exercise in your low to moderate training heart rate range. This will prevent you from depleting your body, and help you avoid feeling fatigued, which would otherwise prevent you from getting the maximum energy benefits."
Of course, what's moderate for some may be too little for others. "How much you can do before you cross the threshold into tiredness is often dependent upon how well your body is conditioned," Thayer says.
In addition to walking, experts say other forms of exercise that help increase "calm energy" are yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, and, sometimes, resistance strength training, particularly when done with slow, deliberate motions. Further, Thayer says playing music during any workout may increase "calm energy" while helping to reduce tension.
"In a study we did about 10 years ago, we found that music was a very effective way to change a person's mood," he says. "And though we don't have any data just yet, we are now studying whether workouts that combine music and movement, like Jazzercise, can induce this state of calm energy that is so healthy."
While experts agree that moderate movement is key to increasing energy, even if you overdo it, your end result may still be less fatigue. "Though it's mostly anecdotal at this point, we are starting to see that while intense exercise may tire you out, it also reduces tension, so that after an hour or so, when your muscles begin to recover, you might see a surge of energy but without tension," says Thayer.
Regardless of what energy-producing exercise you choose, you can get more out of your workout time by eating some fruit just before you start, says Pasqualoni, founder of the Strike It Healthy web site. "This allows food, which is a form of energy, to be broken down and the nutrients enter the bloodstream, while preparing the body for work," she says. "The end result: You have more energy while you're working out -- and more energy afterwards."
Heller also reminds us to drink plenty of water before, during, and after working out to help decrease workout-related fatigue. "Dehydration is an important cause of fatigue, so to get the most energy out of every workout, be sure to stay hydrated," she says.
And finally, what if you're really just too tired to do anything at all? Experts say simply getting up out of your chair may be enough to get those mitochondria energy factories powered up -- and for you to feel some instant results.
Says Thayer: "Even if you think you're too tired to do anything, get up and walk around the room, and in a couple of minutes you're going to feel some energy that wasn't there before. And that may lead you to want to move even more."
DECODE (and DEFUSE) YOUR EXERCISE EXCUSES
If finding excuses to skip workouts made us fitter, we'd all be triathletes.
Sports psychology consultant Kristen Dieffenbach, PhD, at WVU, says we avoid exercise because "we've robbed it of any joy. We've transformed it from a natural, stress-relieving activity to something we have to schedule, plan, and create goals for. In other words: another form of stress." Here are some common exercise excuses. . . and advice on ditching them once and for all.
***"I'm already too busy--I can't deal with one more thing I'm 'supposed' to do."
Too many women put their jobs, obligations, and the people they care for before themsleves, says Dieffenbach. "Most wouldn't say out loud, 'I am not as important and I don't deserve the time,' yet that's the only way to translate their actions."
Try justifying a regular exercise routine by reminding yourself that unless your needs are met, you'll have trouble meeting the needs of the people counting on you. "Self-care is key to caring effectively for others," says Dieffenbach. "If a friend called and requested some of your time, you'd make it available. Be that kind of friend to yourself."
***"How can I exercise when I'm always tired?"
"First you have to realize that there are two types of energy--physical and mental--and that they feed off each other," says Kacy Duke, author of The Show It Love Workout. "Chances are, you're mentallyl tired from sitting at your job all day and you get to get your blood circulating to rev your engine again," she says. "Tell yourself, I will do just ten minutes. And grant yourself permission to call it quits if you're still slogging after ten full minutes. Eventually, you'll make the connection that feeling tapped out means you need to move MORE, not LESS."
***"I'll start out gung ho, but I know I'll get bored and quit."
Predicting failure is a classic way of protecting yourself, says Dieffenbach: "Rule out success, and you don't have to try." Find out what's behind your pessimism by listing the negative thoughts that occur when you picture yourself exercising, she says. One common roadblock is a fear of failure; a new routine can be daunting. If you're put off by the thought of setting up an effective--and safe--workout, consider investing in exercise classes and/or personal training to get you through the challenging first weeks of an exercise regimen.

Did you know? Strength Training Lessens Arthritis Pain
Many people think that weight-training exercises will worsen arthritis symptoms. In fact, a little bit of load-bearing exercise is just what the doctor ordered.
Dozens of research studies conducted within the past year show the benefits of exercise for people who suffer from arthritis. Some of the positive effects are:
•Decreased Pain – Whether you suffer from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, increasing your muscle strength with weight-bearing exercise allows your muscles to act as shock absorbers, thus lessening pain in your joints.
•Better Bones – Tufts University researchers report that strength-training exercises can help build bone mass in arthritis patients. Post-menopausal women are particularly vulnerable to bone loss, typically losing up to two percent of bone mass every year. After just six months of exercise, researchers report a measurable difference.
•Slimmer Physique – Strength training is an important element in trimming your waistline because it increases your resting metabolic rate. A regular weight-training regimen, about 2-3 times per week, will stoke your metabolism by as much as 15 percent.
JULY is a great time to take a second look at what you're doing to build bone mass & increase your muscle strength.
This month, consider what you can do to improve your health and shape your body...Come INDOORS with us at Falls Church Jazzercise, where the air is cool and fresh, there's plenty of water to drink, and you don't have to worry about pounding the pavement.

LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE!
Struggling with downcast emotions? Experiencing a bad case of the blues? Feeling run down? Try laughing more! The infamous expression that “laughter is the best medicine” just may be true.
Recent research indicates that laughter’s effects on the body are beneficial in more ways than one. A healthy dose of laughter can invoke an array of wellness benefits, including a stronger heart and a smaller waistline!
Not convinced that a sense of humor should be a priority in your life? Take a look at what medical research shows to be the results of getting a good laugh:
• Improved immunity – Stress wreaks havoc on your immune system. But humor can actually increase the levels of antibodies that fight off infection and boost your immunity.
• Blood flow – A study at the University of Maryland concludes that laughter causes blood vessels to expand and contract more easily. While stress constricts blood vessels by as much as 35 percent, laughter opens up blood vessels a whopping 22 percent more than when your body is at rest.
• Cholesterol control – Just one month ago, Loma Linda University researchers reported that laughter is linked to improved cholesterol levels. A one-year study documents a 26 percent increase of HDL (good) cholesterol among a group with regular laughter, contrasted by a mere 3 percent increase in the control group.
• Cardiovascular health – The same Loma Linda study that reports improved cholesterol levels also indicates a lowered risk for cardiovascular disease among people who experience frequent laughter.
• Weight loss – Laughing burns about 50 calories per hour. That’s one reason to add this weapon to your arsenal of slim-down tactics! But, don’t ditch exercise. Jazzercise Founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett suggests a healthy dose of laughter combined with a healthy diet and regular physical exercise is key.
Still skeptical? Consider this:
Regardless of whether or not you choose to believe the latest research about the physiological benefits of laughter, there’s no doubt that a good sense of humor can improve your quality of life.
So, the next time you’re tempted to reach for a bag of cookies to ease your worries, try watching a half-hour comedy show instead. You may just laugh your way to a revved-up immune system or heart health that will allow you to enjoy a few laughs for years to come.

TOP TEN DIET MYTHS
Don’t eat carbs, don’t skip breakfast, don’t ingest anything after 6 p.m. With all of the diet advice, tips and tricks available these days, how do you know which ones to follow? Take a look at these top ten diet myths and learn how to separate fact from fiction.
Myth #1: Cut the Carbs – The anti-carb craze has women tossing out bread and pasta from coast to coast. Some are even losing weight. But, is no-carb really the best way to go? Carbs are necessary to produce energy, not to mention that carbs provide fiber to aid digestion. And if you’re headed to the gym, you need some healthy carbs (fruit or oatmeal) to fuel your workout.
Myth #2: Don’t Skip Breakfast – While it is important to eat something in the morning, you don’t have to head for the kitchen as soon as you crawl out of bed. Just be sure to eat something within the first two hours of waking up. Yogurt or a piece of fruit will do the trick.
Myth #3: Milk is for Kids – Worries over the fat in dairy may have you running away from milk products. Unfortunately, a lack of dairy means that you’ll also miss out on calcium and Vitamin D, both of which are needed for strong bones and prevention of osteoarthritis. So, instead of ditching dairy altogether, trade in your high-fat milk products for their low-fat counterparts.
Myth #4: Buy Fat-Free – Just because a food claims to be “fat free” doesn’t mean that it’s low in calories. Also, remember that our body needs fat. The key is to get the right kind of fat. Monounsaturated fats that are found in almonds, olive oil, and avocados can actually help to reduce the levels of bad cholesterol in your blood.
Myth # 5: Stay Off the Scale – Sorry, girls, you really do need to weigh yourself to keep tabs on your health. Check-in on a weekly basis to keep track of your progress. And keep in mind that the numbers on the scale aren’t everything. Compare those numbers with how you feel in your clothes and the muscle mass that you build from your workouts.
Myth # 6: Counting Calories is Enough – Sure, nutrition is important, but you’ll never achieve maximum results without adding exercise to the mix. Jazzercise Founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett recommends a combination of cardiovascular exercise, which burns calories, alongside strength training, which increases your muscle mass and stokes your metabolism.
Myth # 7: Go Vegetarian – In your pursuit to drop a few pounds, ditching an entire food group may not be the wisest choice. However, if you have decided that going veggie is the right course of action for you, then be sure to keep your diet balanced. By cutting out meat, you’ll need to get iron elsewhere, such as kidney beans, black beans, and baked potatoes.
Myth # 8: Stop Snacking – It’s okay to snack. It’s just not okay to snack on the wrong foods! A piece of fruit or a handful of nuts between meals may actually help you from getting too hungry and diving into the bread basket at dinner.
Myth # 9: Don’t Eat at Night – A late-night steak may give you indigestion, but it won’t destroy your diet. What matters is the number of calories that you eat overall throughout the day.
Myth # 10: Nix the Sweets – It’s okay to have dessert. In fact, eating a small portion of dessert now may actually keep you from downing an entire bag of M & M’s if you’re feeling deprived later.
