Healthy choices Choosing a weight-loss program that works for you

By KAREN BLOOM The arrival of warm weather leads many of us to reevaluate those New Year’s resolutions to lose weight and live healthier. There are no shortages of diets and weight-loss programs, offering conflicting tips and advice. The sheer amount of information can lead many of us to stick our heads in the sand and hope our genes will withstand decades of poor eating and little

or no exercise.

“Filtering the plethora of diet information from television, books and the Internet can be overwhelming,” says K.C. Craichy, a speaker, and consultant on natural health, nutrition, and fitness. “And the many dieting fads can prevent people from establishing lifelong healthy habits.”

Here’s what you need to know about some of the most popular weightloss programs and plans available today, according to Craichy, who has authored “The Super Health Diet,” to help people navigate this maze of diets and programs.

Diet Clubs

We’ve all seen the TV commercials for weight-loss centers touting celebrity success stories. For the most part, these clubs provide a strong support network for people who have tried to lose weight on their own and failed.

Many of these programs rely on a point system or pre-packaged food they sell to you. But these methods, while successful, can be hard to maintain once you are no longer in the program because they do not promote permanent lifestyle changes or teach you to prepare healthy meals on your own, says Craichy.

Blueberries are recognized as “superfruit” because of the high amount of antioxidants. Blueberries are found in blue, maroon to purpleblack color. They are rich source of vitamins such as A, C, E & K; dietary fiber; iron and manganese.

Their many benefits include fight ingcancer, decreasing cholesterol level, promoting cardiovascular and urinary health, preventing macular degeneration, delaying and reversing aging signs, preventing neurotic disorders, improving digestion, treat ing constipation, boosting immunity, and improving eye health.

Fad Diets

From Atkins to The Zone to the new Macrobiotic and Vegan craze, America has rarely been without a diet fad. Many of these programs have helped people lose weight, even though they appear to give contradictory advice -- one may advocate a low carbohydrate, high protein diet, while the other an average carb, low protein diet.

The main reason for their success is that most Americans have unhealthy diets and overestimate portion allowances, so any restrictive diet is bound to help them lose weight. But these diets may not prepare you for optimum health and can be inconvenient to follow, especially those requiring unusual foods.

The Mediterranean Diet

Several decades ago, medical researchers began to take notice that people living in the Mediterranean, particularly in southern Italy and Greece, had lower rates of cardiovascular disease.They found that their diets contained low amounts of red meat, moderate levels of fish and poultry (once or twice a week), and high levels of fruits, vegetables, nuts, olive oil and legumes.

Craichy says the key factors to this type of diet are the small portions, the Continued on next page

Kale is among the healthiest and nutritious vegetables. It contains high amount of dietary fiber, lutein, protein, iron, folate, potassium, calcium, magnesium and Vitamins A, C, and K. Compared to broccoli, there is 7 times more beta-carotene and 10 times m o r e lutein in kale.

It also contains phytochemicals such as sul- foraphane and indole-3-carbinol.

It helps to fight cancer, protect vision, boost bone health, good for heart health, boost detoxification enzymes, prevents constipation, promote digestion, fight against cellular oxidation and prevent inflammatory related problems.

Baby Beets

Beets are available throughout the year, but young beets are fresh during spring. Beets are found in many colors such as yellow, deep red and orange. Compared to regular beets, baby (bunched) beets are more tender as they need less time to cook.

They are naturally sweet and rich in nutrients. Leafy tops of beets are high in calcium, beta carotene and iron.

They are rich in folate, dietary fiber, magnesium, vitamin C, copper, Continued on next page

Healthy choices use of omega-3 and other healthy fats like olive oil, resveratrol from grapes or red wine, and nutrient dense foods.

The Detox Method

Detox or detoxification diets are gaining popularity – it seems that everyone from celebrities to the guys and gals at your local fitness center are getting on the bandwagon. A natural detoxing will help you get rid of toxins that are causing your body to be overweight and not feel that great, according to Valerie Mishaan, a weight-loss consultant based in the Five Towns. “People go to spas and try liquid diets, doing all sorts of drastic things,� she says. “Detox done correctly has many benefits. It will jumpstart the metabolism and cleanse the body of the chemicals that we’ve ingested from foods we eat that are over processed with unwanted chemicals that are unhealthy and slow the body down.�

Mishaan explains that her natural system helps break down toxins and chemicals in the body and enables the body to burn fat effectively. Her “Why Weight� program is based on detoxification combined with acupressure. Acupressure is achieved by taping two tiny balls behind one’s ears, on specific pressure points.

The pressure points short-circuit mes-

sages from the digestive system to the brain,� says Mishaan, who explains that these tiny balls are a form of reflexology.

They are used with a carefully monitored detoxing regimen that promotes physical and mental well-being, based on a combination of foods. On certain days, one eats nothing but fruits and vegetables. On other days, only whole milk, yogurt and milk shakes are consumed. After the detoxification process, which usually takes about a week (depending on the individual), the person goes onto a healthy, low-carb food plan. “People really see their energy level improve after detox,� Mishaan says.

My clients tell me their bodies are now ‘in the zone’ and they notice positive physical and mental effects, including being able to concentrate better.�

iron and phosphorus. They decrease the cholesterol level, avoid birth defects, prevent some cancers, prevent cataract, stimulate liver functions, boost energy, prevent asthma symptoms, avoid macular degeneration, and can decrease the risk of stroke.

Watermelon

Watermelon is among the world’s healthiest foods. It has crunchy and crisp texture. It contains 92 percent water and 8 percent sugar. It is rich in vitamins such as A, C, and B6. Watermelon contains lycopene, one of the most powerful antioxidants in high amount. It also contains amino acids such as citrulline and arginine.

Leester Wu, MD Associate Director, Radiation Oncology

Why go into the city,

in my own backyard? ” Mike was diagnosed with cancer.

Fortunately for Mike, South Nassau Communities Hospital is here with the new Novalis Tx™ Radiosurgery System — along with a caring, expert and comprehensive cancer care program. For Mike, that meant five brief treatment sessions with more precision — versus up to 45 traditional treatments elsewhere.

Minimal side effects. Virtually no downtime. And of course, nearby convenience. Which kept Mike close to home, giving him more time to spend in his own backyard.

Skewering and grilling fruits and vegetables are always a treat. Try fruits like pineapple, pear, mango, apples, lemons and limes along with vegetables like jicama, cubed squash, rutabaga, bok choy or yellow, red and orange peppers. Not only does this look colorful and abundant, you now have assortment of â&#x20AC;&#x153;pickablesâ&#x20AC;? before the main meal is served.

Socialize! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plop yourself down on the chair near the table of food and expect you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice how enticing it looks and smells. Walk around and seat yourself away from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;table of temptation!â&#x20AC;?

Access leads to excess!

There are always outdoor activities going on in the summer. The busier you become, the faster the day will pass without you spending it mindlessly eating.

When you look in the mirror, what do you â&#x20AC;&#x153;reallyâ&#x20AC;? look at? What do you see?

Usually, we avoid the mirror when we feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;fluffy.â&#x20AC;? Watching other people eat is actually a good way to keep yourself from indulging.

You will notice there are two categories of eaters: one is able to select their foods, sit down and eat slowly and the other seems to have a bottomless pit of a stomach and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop eating until they feel like they are

full to capacity! Visualize yourself being thin, wearing a great outfit or bathing suit.

Envision the onlookersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes as you walk into the room. Imagine that for that night, all eyes will be upon you, no matter what you do.

Of course, you can try â&#x20AC;&#x153;reverseâ&#x20AC;? visualization too. Think about someone who looks very un-healthy and overweight.

Someone who is breathing heavy, sweating, and wearing clothing to camouflage and cover-up their girth! Remember this image and remind yourself how unhealthy and unflattering they look.

Visualization is a powerful tool. It puts our brains in gear and motivates our behavior. Now, if I ask how your summer shape is again, will your answer be the same? Or, are you already working to get the shape you want? Remember, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always time to become â&#x20AC;&#x153;the youâ&#x20AC;? that you envision yourself to be. Start somewhere.

St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Hospital Vascular Disease Screening Program WHY SHOULD YOU BE SCREENED FOR PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE (P.A.D.)

Are You at Risk?

â&#x20AC;˘ Are you over age 50? One in every 20 Americans over the age of 50 has P.A.D. â&#x20AC;˘ Do you smoke, or used to smoke? â&#x20AC;˘ Do you have diabetes? â&#x20AC;˘ Do you have high blood pressure? â&#x20AC;˘ Do you have abnormal blood cholesterol levels?

Are you of African American ethnicity? African Americans are more than twice as â&#x20AC;˘ likely to have P.A.D. than their white counterparts. â&#x20AC;˘ Have you had heart disease, a heart attack or stroke?

What is It? Peripheral arterial disease (P.A.D.) develops when arteries become clogged with plaque. These are fatty deposits that limit blood flow to your limbs, especially your legs. You may experience chronic ulcers, pain or a weak or tired feeling in your legs during activity like walking. Clogged arteries in the legs may mean you are at risk for a heart attack or stroke.

What Can You Do? GET SCREENED. One of the key ways to diagnose P.A.D. is through a painless screening called an ankle-brachial index (ABI) in which a health care professional uses an ordinary blood pressure cuff and Doppler ultrasound to compare the blood pressure in your arms with the pressure in your legs. The two numbers form a ratio that determines your ABI.

PLEASE CALL 718-869-7138 TODAY TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE SCREENING AT THE VASCULAR SURGERY OFFICE.

you are the host, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in control. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve foods (or as many foods) that will weaken your resistance.

And always send the leftovers home with your guests.

Drink plenty of water, even if you have an alcoholic beverage (wine or spirits).

Stay away from beer and sugary drinks and use water to help you fill up and avoid getting too drunk. Alcohol IVESON can decrease your resolve and once you have that first bite, you know what happens next? The conversation to convince yourself that just a little bit wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do any harm. How many little bits does it take for the food to finally count?

Appetizers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be fattening!

Vegetables with salsa and shrimp or lump crab cocktail are low in calories and very filling. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also delicious.Stuffed mushrooms, using the stems, onions and seasonings for stuffing are also great.

Just O.K.? Been thinking about getting back on track to a healthier plan? Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too late. You can still lose your weight and you can start NOW! So many things change in our lives this time of year.

Vacations begin, kids leave for camp and college kids come home. Entertaining is at an all time high. The barbeque seems to be going nonstop, and it seems like the refrigerator is always runINDA ning out of food.

With all of this going on, it seems impossible to be thinking about keeping yourself on a healthy eating plan. Even more difficult is avoiding all of the foods that are in the house for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;companyâ&#x20AC;? (and, for who else)?

Since appetite is controlled by many of our senses, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult not to be attracted to how delicious the food looks and smells.

Fond memories of how much we love these foods start to send us signals and all of a sudden a voice resonates from our brain, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want a taste!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll only have just one.â&#x20AC;?

To avoid temptation, plan ahead! If

desserts, purchase a lovely bowl and fill it with mixed fresh fruits.

Skewering and grilling fruits and vegetables are always a treat. Try fruits like pineapple, pear, mango, apples, lemons and limes along with vegetables like jicama, cubed squash, rutabaga, bok choy or yellow, red and orange peppers. Not only does this look colorful and abundant, you now have assortment of â&#x20AC;&#x153;pickablesâ&#x20AC;? before the main meal is served.

Socialize! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plop yourself down on the chair near the table of food and expect you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice how enticing it looks and smells. Walk around and seat yourself away from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;table of temptation!â&#x20AC;? Access leads to excess!

There are always outdoor activities going on in the summer. The busier you become, the faster the day will pass without you spending it mindlessly eating.

When you look in the mirror, what do you â&#x20AC;&#x153;reallyâ&#x20AC;? look at? What do you see? Usually, we avoid the mirror when we feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;fluffy.â&#x20AC;? Watching other people eat is actually a good way to keep yourself from indulging.

You will notice there are two categories of eaters: one is able to select their foods, sit down and eat slowly and the other seems to

have a bottomless pit of a stomach and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop eating until they feel like they are full to capacity! Visualize yourself being thin, wearing a great outfit or bathing suit. Envision the onlookersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes as you walk into the room. Imagine that for that night, all eyes will be upon you, no matter what you do.

Of course, you can try â&#x20AC;&#x153;reverseâ&#x20AC;? visualization too. Think about someone who looks very un-healthy and overweight. Someone who is breathing heavy, sweating, and wearing clothing to camouflage and cover-up their girth! Remember this image and remind yourself how unhealthy and unflattering they look.

Visualization is a powerful tool. It puts our brains in gear and motivates our behavior. Now, if I ask how your summer shape is again, will your answer be the same? Or, are you already working to get the shape you want? Remember, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always time to become â&#x20AC;&#x153;the youâ&#x20AC;? that you envision yourself to be. Start somewhere. Start now!

Healthy choices Choosing a weight-loss program that works for you

By KAREN BLOOM The arrival of warm weather leads many of us to reevaluate those New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions to lose weight and live healthier. There

are no shortages of diets and weight-loss programs, offering conflicting tips and advice. The sheer amount of information can lead many of us to stick our heads in the sand and hope our genes will withstand

decades of poor eating and little or no exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Filtering the plethora of diet information from television, books and the Internet can be overwhelming,â&#x20AC;? says K.C. Craichy, a speaker, and consultant on natural health, nutrition, and fitness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the many dieting fads can prevent people from establishing lifelong healthy habits.â&#x20AC;?

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you need to know about some of the most popular weight-loss programs and plans available today, according to Craichy, who has authored â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Super Health Diet,â&#x20AC;? to help people navigate this maze of diets and programs.

Diet Clubs

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all seen the TV commercials for weight-loss centers touting celebrity success stories. For the most part, these clubs provide a strong support network for people who have tried to lose weight on their own and failed.

Many of these programs rely on a point system or pre-packaged food they sell to you. But these methods, while successful, can be hard to maintain once you are no longer in the program because they do not promote permanent lifestyle changes or teach you to prepare healthy meals on your own, says Craichy.

Fad Diets

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

From Atkins to The Zone to the new Macrobiotic and Vegan craze, America has rarely been without a diet fad. Many of these programs have helped people lose weight, even though they appear to give contradictory advice -- one may advocate a low carbohydrate, high protein diet, while the other an average carb, low protein diet.

The main reason for their success is that most Americans have unhealthy diets and overestimate portion allowances, so any restrictive diet is bound to help them lose weight. But these diets may not prepare you for optimum health and can be inconvenient to follow, especially those requiring unusual foods.

Mike was diagnosed with cancer.

Fortunately for Mike, South Nassau Communities Hospital is here with the new Novalis Txâ&#x201E;˘ Radiosurgery System â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with a caring, expert and comprehensive cancer care program. For Mike, that meant five brief treatment sessions with more precision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; versus up to 45 traditional treatments elsewhere.

Minimal side effects. Virtually no downtime. And of course, nearby convenience. Which kept Mike close to home, giving him more time to spend in his own backyard.

The Mediterranean Diet

Several decades ago, medical researchers began to take notice that people living in the Mediterranean, particularly in southern Italy and Greece, had lower rates of cardiovascular disease.They found that their diets contained low amounts of red meat, moderate levels of fish and poultry (once or twice a week), and high levels of fruits, vegetables, nuts, olive oil and legumes.

Craichy says the key factors to this type of diet are the small portions, the use of omega-3 and other healthy fats like olive oil, resveratrol from grapes or red wine, and nutrient dense foods.

The Detox Method

Detox or detoxification diets are gaining popularity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it seems that everyone from celebrities to the guys and gals at your local fitness center are getting on the bandwagon. A natural detoxing will help you get rid of toxins that are causing your body to be overweight and not feel that great, according to Valerie Mishaan, a weight-loss consultant based in the Five Towns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People go to spas and try liquid diets, doing all sorts of drastic things,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Detox done correctly has many benefits. It will jumpstart 477070

the metabolism and cleanse the body of the chemicals that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ingested from foods we eat that are over processed with unwanted chemicals that are unhealthy and slow the body down.â&#x20AC;?

Mishaan explains that her natural system helps break down toxins and chemicals in the body and enables the body to burn fat effectively. Her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why Weightâ&#x20AC;? program is based on detoxification combined with acupressure. Acupressure is achieved by taping two tiny balls behind oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ears, on specific pressure points.

The pressure points short-circuit messages from the digestive system to the brain,â&#x20AC;? says Mishaan, who explains that these tiny balls are a form of reflexology. They are used with a carefully monitored detoxing regimen that promotes physical and mental well-being, based on a combination of foods. On certain days, one eats nothing but fruits and vegetables. On other days, only whole milk, yogurt and milk shakes are consumed. After the detoxification process, which usually takes about a week (depending on the individual), the person goes onto a healthy, low-carb food plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People really see their energy level improve after detox,â&#x20AC;? Mishaan says. My cli-

ents tell me their bodies are now â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;in the zoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and they notice positive physical and mental effects, including being able to concentrate better.â&#x20AC;?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll provide the very best care for your child every inch of the way.

We have board-certified physicians, specially trained nurses and other professionals on-site, 24 hours every day. We have the only Fetal Surgery Program on Long Island.

Our Neonatal ICU has among the best outcomes nationwide. We also have a separate Pediatric Emergency Unit just for children.

Leester Wu, MD Associate Director, Radiation Oncology

Why go into the city, when I can beat this

in my own backyard? â&#x20AC;?

Mike was diagnosed with cancer.

Fortunately for Mike, South Nassau Communities Hospital is here with the new Novalis Txâ&#x201E;˘ Radiosurgery System â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with a caring, expert and comprehensive cancer care program. For Mike, that meant five brief treatment sessions with more precision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; versus up to 45 traditional treatments elsewhere.

Minimal side effects. Virtually no downtime. And of course, nearby convenience. Which kept Mike close to home, giving him more time to spend in his own backyard.

Healthy choices Choosing a weight-loss program that works for you

By KAREN BLOOM The arrival of warm weather leads many of us to reevaluate those New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions to lose weight and live healthier. There

are no shortages of diets and weight-loss programs, offering conflicting tips and advice. The sheer amount of information can lead many of us to stick our heads in the sand and hope our genes will withstand

decades of poor eating and little or no exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Filtering the plethora of diet information from television, books and the Internet can be overwhelming,â&#x20AC;? says K.C. Craichy, a speaker, and consultant on natural health, nutrition, and fitness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the many dieting fads can prevent people from establishing lifelong healthy habits.â&#x20AC;?

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you need to know about some of the most popular weight-loss programs and plans available today, according to Craichy, who has authored â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Super Health Diet,â&#x20AC;? to help people navigate this maze of diets and programs.

Diet Clubs

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all seen the TV commercials for weight-loss centers touting celebrity success stories. For the most part, these clubs provide a strong support network for people who have tried to lose weight on their own and failed.

Many of these programs rely on a point system or pre-packaged food they sell to you. But these methods, while successful, can be hard to maintain once you are no longer in the program because they do not promote permanent lifestyle changes or teach you to prepare healthy meals on your own, says Craichy.

Fad Diets

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

From Atkins to The Zone to the new Macrobiotic and Vegan craze, America has rarely been without a diet fad. Many of these programs have helped people lose weight, even though they appear to give contradictory advice -- one may advocate a low carbohydrate, high protein diet, while the other an average carb, low protein diet.

The main reason for their success is that most Americans have unhealthy diets and overestimate portion allowances, so any restrictive diet is bound to help them lose weight. But these diets may not prepare you for optimum health and can be inconvenient to follow, especially those requiring unusual foods.

Why go into the city, when I can beat this

in my own backyard? â&#x20AC;?

Mike was diagnosed with cancer.

Fortunately for Mike, South Nassau Communities Hospital is here with the new Novalis Txâ&#x201E;˘ Radiosurgery System â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with a caring, expert and comprehensive cancer care program. For Mike, that meant five brief treatment sessions with more precision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; versus up to 45 traditional treatments elsewhere.

Minimal side effects. Virtually no downtime. And of course, nearby convenience. Which kept Mike close to home, giving him more time to spend in his own backyard.

The Mediterranean Diet

Several decades ago, medical researchers began to take notice that people living in the Mediterranean, particularly in southern Italy and Greece, had lower rates of cardiovascular disease.They found that their diets contained low amounts of red meat, moderate levels of fish and poultry (once or twice a week), and high levels of fruits, vegetables, nuts, olive oil and legumes.

Craichy says the key factors to this type of diet are the small portions, the use of omega-3 and other healthy fats like olive oil, resveratrol from grapes or red wine, and nutrient dense foods.

The Detox Method

Detox or detoxification diets are gaining popularity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it seems that everyone from celebrities to the guys and gals at your local fitness center are getting on the bandwagon. A natural detoxing will help you get rid of toxins that are causing your body to be overweight and not feel that great, according to Valerie Mishaan, a weight-loss consultant based in the Five Towns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People go to spas and try liquid diets, doing all sorts of drastic things,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Detox done correctly has many benefits. It will jumpstart 477070

Shape up for summer Steps to a healthier, happier you

ents tell me their bodies are now ‘in the zone’ and they notice positive physical and mental effects, including being able to concentrate better.”

The weather is warm and the skies are blue. It’s the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the day. It’s also a good time to think about getting healthier.

Simply dropping a few pounds can boost your confidence, help you feel better physically and prevent some of the illnesses associated with obesity, such as heart disease, stroke and some cancers.

So how do you get on the healthy track?

Follow these tips for success.

■ Modify your diet to include more lean protein, fruits and vegetables. The goal should be to eat these foods at every meal.

They’re a smart way to fill up without consuming excess calories. Plus, they’re full of the fuel your body needs to be healthy.

■ Keep a food diary. A food diary can make you more aware of what you are consuming on a daily basis and where you may need to scale back. Studies have indicated that those who write down what they eat in a journal tend to lose more weight than those who don’t.

■ Stay hydrated. You should aim to drink eight glasses of water per day for optimal health. Drinking water is also a good way to feel full without doing unnecessary snacking.

CYCLING is a good form of exercise and a social event.

■ Make exercise fun. Vary your activities and have a friend join you in your exercise routine. If exercise is fun, you’re more likely to stick with it.

■ Indulgences are okay once in a while. If you deprive yourself of your favorite foods all of the time, you will have a greater craving for them. Therefore, have that dessert or special meal on occasion. Just don’t overdo it all of the time.

the metabolism and cleanse the body of the chemicals that we’ve ingested from foods we eat that are over processed with unwanted chemicals that are unhealthy and slow the body down.”

Mishaan explains that her natural system helps break down toxins and chemicals in the body and enables the body to burn fat effectively. Her “Why Weight” program is based on detoxification combined with acupressure. Acupressure is achieved by taping two tiny balls behind one’s ears, on specific pressure points.

The pressure points short-circuit messages from the digestive system to the brain,” says Mishaan, who explains that these tiny balls are a form of reflexology. They are used with a carefully monitored detoxing regimen that promotes physical and mental well-being, based on a combination of foods. On certain days, one eats nothing but fruits and vegetables. On other days, only whole milk, yogurt and milk shakes are consumed. After the detoxification process, which usually takes about a week (depending on the individual), the person goes onto a healthy, low-carb food plan.

“People really see their energy level improve after detox,” Mishaan says. My cli-

How is your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Summer Shape?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Food For Life

Just O.K.? Been thinking about getting back on track to a healthier plan? Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too late. You can still lose your weight and you can start NOW! So many things change in our lives this time of year. Vacations begin, kids leave for camp and college kids come home. Entertaining is at an all time high. The barbeque seems to be going nonstop, and it seems like the refrigerator is always running out of food.

INDA With all of this going on, it seems impossible to be thinking about keeping yourself on a healthy eating plan. Even more difficult is avoiding all of the foods that are in the house for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;companyâ&#x20AC;? (and, for who else)?

Since appetite is controlled by many of our senses, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult not to be attracted to how delicious the food looks and smells.

Fond memories of how much we love these foods start to send us signals and all of a sudden a voice resonates from our brain, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want a taste!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll only have just one.â&#x20AC;?

To avoid temptation, plan ahead! If you

L

are the host, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in control. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve foods (or as many foods) that will weaken your resistance. And always send the leftovers home with your guests.

Drink plenty of water, even if you have an alcoholic beverage (wine or spirits).

Stay away from beer and sugary drinks and use water to help you fill up and avoid getting too drunk. Alcohol can decrease your resolve IVESON and once you have that first bite, you know what happens next? The conversation to convince yourself that just a little bit wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do any harm. How many little bits does it take for the food to finally count?

Appetizers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be fattening!

Vegetables with salsa and shrimp or lump crab cocktail are low in calories and very filling. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also delicious.Stuffed mushrooms, using the stems, onions and seasonings for stuffing are also great.

If you are going to someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house for a party, rather than bringing the latest â&#x20AC;&#x153;fadâ&#x20AC;? desserts, purchase a lovely bowl and fill it

with mixed fresh fruits.

Skewering and grilling fruits and vegetables are always a treat. Try fruits like pineapple, pear, mango, apples, lemons and limes along with vegetables like jicama, cubed squash, rutabaga, bok choy or yellow, red and orange peppers. Not only does this look colorful and abundant, you now have assortment of â&#x20AC;&#x153;pickablesâ&#x20AC;? before the main meal is served.

Socialize! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plop yourself down on the chair near the table of food and expect you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice how enticing it looks and smells.

Walk around and seat yourself away from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;table of temptation!â&#x20AC;? Access leads to excess!

There are always outdoor activities going on in the summer. The busier you become, the faster the day will pass without you spending it mindlessly eating.

When you look in the mirror, what do you â&#x20AC;&#x153;reallyâ&#x20AC;? look at? What do you see? Usually, we avoid the mirror when we feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;fluffy.â&#x20AC;? Watching other people eat is actually a good way to keep yourself from indulging.

You will notice there are two categories of eaters: one is able to select their foods, sit down and eat slowly and the other seems to have a bottomless pit of a stomach and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop eating until they feel like they are full to

capacity! Visualize yourself being thin, wearing a great outfit or bathing suit. Envision the onlookersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes as you walk into the room. Imagine that for that night, all eyes will be upon you, no matter what you do.

Of course, you can try â&#x20AC;&#x153;reverseâ&#x20AC;? visualization too. Think about someone who looks very un-healthy and overweight.

Someone who is breathing heavy, sweating, and wearing clothing to camouflage and cover-up their girth! Remember this image and remind yourself how unhealthy and unflattering they look.

Visualization is a powerful tool. It puts our brains in gear and motivates our behavior. Now, if I ask how your summer shape is again, will your answer be the same? Or, are you already working to get the shape you want? Remember, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always time to become â&#x20AC;&#x153;the youâ&#x20AC;? that you envision yourself to be. Start somewhere.

Start now!
