One of the problems in our daily lives is that many of us rush through the day, with no time for anything ... and when we have time to get a bite to eat, we gobble it down. That leads to stressful, unhealthy living, remember your healthy diet plan should come first and foremost, we only live once!
And with the simple act of eating slower, we can begin to reverse that lifestyle and become healthier immediately. It's very simple. You take smaller bites, you chew each bite slower and longer, and you enjoy your meal longer. It takes a few minutes extra each meal, and yet it can have profound effects on your health and diet not to mention you will loose weight.

5 Easy steps you can take today to loose weight & improve upon your health and diet:

1. Lose weight. A growing number of studies confirm that just by eating slower, you'll consume fewer calories - in fact, enough to lose 20 pounds a year without doing anything different or eating anything different. The reason is that it takes about 20 minutes for our brains to register that we're full. If we eat fast, we can continue eating past this point. If we eat slowly, we have time to realize we're full, and stop on time. Of course you should try to eat healthier foods and if you're looking to lose weight, eating slowly should be a part of your daily lifestyle.

2. Enjoy your food. This reason is just as important to your health, in my opinion. It's hard to enjoy your food if you scarf it down quickly. In fact, I think it's fine to eat sinful foods, if you eat a small amount slowly. Think about it: you want to eat sinful foods (desserts, fried foods, pizza, etc.) because they taste good. But if you eat them fast, what's the point? If you eat them slowly, you can get the same amount of great taste, but with less going into your stomach. That's simple math and that works for me. And that argument aside, I think you are just happier by tasting great food and enjoying it fully, by eating slowly.

3. Better digestion. If you eat slower, you'll chew your food better, which leads to better digestion. Digestion actually starts in the mouth, so the more work you do up there, the less you'll have to do in your stomach. This can help lead to fewer digestive problems such as acid reflux and indigestion which causes the acids to be forced upwards by the speed and amount of food you force down your pie hole, not healthy although we have all had this happen to us.

4. Less stress. There is a psychological and psychical connection to stress when we eat and studies have proven that when we relax and enjoy our meals our stress levels drop significantly. Eating slowly, and paying attention to our eating habits, rather than rushing through a meal thinking about what you need to do next. When you eat, you should eat. This kind of awareness, will lead to a less stressful life, and long-term health benefits.
Try it out sometime and remember "your healthy diet plan" and you can accomplish anything if you try and don't give up.

5. Don't fall prey to to the message the media sends us. With our hectic, fast-paced, stressful, chaotic lives - the Fast Life - leads to eating Fast Food, and eating it quickly. This is a lifestyle that is dehumanizing us, making us unhealthy, stressed out, and unhappy. We rush through our day, doing one mindless task after another, without taking the time to live life, to enjoy life, to relate to each other, to be human. That's no way to live, before you know it life will pass you by and what will you have to reflect on? other than life in general you don't have to be wealthy to enjoy yourself just take it easy every now and then the world will still be here tomorrow.

So think about it and just try to remember these 5 pointers as just a start to the new you and a healthy diet plan.
I't has worked for me for so far and this is just a stepping stone as I see it, and a easy one, remember it takes the first step to run a marathon.

Tea has been around for 5,000+ years and has the distinction of being one of the most revered beverages around the globe. Whether drinking it hot or over ice, this tasty brew is second only to water in worldwide beverage consumption.

In addition to the great taste, soothing aroma and often calming effect from sipping a fresh glass or cup of brew, there are several reasons for the surge in popularity and attention for the Camellia sinensis plant, from which all tea originates.

According to Ancient Medicinal Practices of the East, each herb is associated with organ systems in the body and addresses specific ailments.
Herbal teas nourish our nervous systems and strengthen our immune systems.

Every aroma and flavor is associated with organ systems of the body:
The sweet flavor found in anise seed has a special affinity for the stomach and spleen;
the bitter flavor in dandelion root affects the heart and small intestines, helping to improve digestion and aid fat metabolism; the pungent flavor in ginger helps to improve lung capacity and large intestine health; the sour flavor in rose hips stimulates the functions of the liver and gall bladder and the salty flavor in kelp - a seaweed - nourishes the kidneys and bladder.
The benefits are immediate - as soon as we taste the herbs, our brains receive signals from the subtle qualities of the plants.

Teavana: Healthy, delicious Teas

1. Eat less later in the day.
Everyone knows, whether they want to admit it or not, reducing calories will help you to lose weight. However, just as you should reduce the calorie intake, you need to know when to eat. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the one meal that should not be missed.
Lunch should be healthy but you should eat less than what you ate for breakfast.
As you approach dinner, eat healthy but light. Avoid after dinner snacks or eating before bed!

2. Spice up that bland food.
Eating bland foods is boring, unsatisfying, and if that is what your diet consists of, more than likely, you will be off it shortly after you start. If you enjoy good tasting food, some sauces and spices can enhance your food while not adding calories to your food. The next time you grill meat or veggies, consider using one of these:

* Reduced-salt Soy Sauce
* Seasoning i.e Mrs. dash or Spike!
* Mustard
* Salsa
* Worcestershire Sauce
* Vinegar (this comes in wonderful flavors)
* Teriyaki Sauce
* Tomato Sauce
* Hot Sauce

3. Supplements and Vitamins
While some supplements and vitamins on the market are not worth buying and some, such as Ephedrine, have been proven dangerous, other sources are healthy. Most importantly, you need to understand what it is you are taking, and strictly follow dosage just as you would medication that has been prescribed. If you are unsure, check with your physician, a nutritionist, or a reputable health food store. Many supplements that are good for overall health include grape seed extract, Glucosamine, aloe vera, and Selenium. Vitamins to consider would include Vitamin E, Vitamin C, B-12, Iron, Magnesium, and Calcium.

4. LOL :D
The medical field has proven that laughter actually works with your body toward good health. Have you ever heard the expression, "Laughter is the best medicine"? The truth is, when you laugh, several positive things happen. Your muscles relax; hormones produced by stress are reduced; you forget about pain; your body's immune system is improved; high-blood pressure is lowered; the heart and lungs are strengthened; and overall, you feel better!

5. Overall nutrition
People often confuse "dieting" with nutrition. Your body needs to have nutrients replaced, whether through foods being eaten or supplements. Do you remember what you learned in elementary school about the four major food groups? As an adult, eating balanced meals from these groups still applies. It is important to remove the "junk food" from your diet and stick with healthy foods. If you do not like certain things such as fruits or vegetables, be sure you are taking a supplement to get the nutrients needed. Another consideration is if you are a vegetarian. There are certain benefits taken from meat such as iron and B-12 that you should consider taking a supplement for in exchange for the meat.

6. Young at Heart
Regardless of your age, if you start acting too old, you will actually not benefit yourself at all.

Studies have shown that people who act old, feel old, and can actually suffer from problems before their time. Do not be afraid to be youthful, within reason. The next time you see a man or woman in thier seventies running a marathon or a woman keeping up in aerobic class, you can see that by refusing to give into age, they are healthier and live much longer lives.

7. Body Fat
When you think about losing weight, more importantly than weight is the amount of fat you are carrying around. This fat is measured with what is called Body Mass Index, or BMI. For women, if you are fit, your percent of body fat should range from 21% to 31%. If you are in incredible shape, that could be as low as 10%. For men, fit should be between 14% and 25%, and excellent shape, as low as 2%.
To calculate your body fat, write down how much you weigh (be honest - no one will see this but you). Multiply your weight by 703. Next, write down your height, in inches. Multiply by that same number. Then you will divide your weight number by your height number. That is your BMI. For example, if your weight were 150 pounds x 703, your weight answer would be 105,450. If your height is 5'4", that would be 64 inches x 64 for a total of 4,096. Taking the 105,450 divided by 4,096, you come out with a BMI of 25.7.

8. Water Water Water!
Water is excellent for the body and good health. Water helps flush out toxins and other unwanted things lingering in the body. Water also replenishes fluids that help lubricate the internal body, keeps you hydrated, reduces hunger, which helps with weight loss, and helps to make skin look smooth and young. If you are not used to drinking water, it may seem hard at first, but very quickly, you will enjoy the clean, refreshed way it makes you feel. At a minimum, you should drink 64-ounces a day and more if you can.

9. Eat Almonds
If you love nuts, then you are in luck. Almonds are not only delicious and make a great
snack food, medical studies show they contain as much protein per ounce as red meat. In addition, they aid in reducing the risk of heart attacks by up to 50%. The next time you need something crunchy, reach for a handful of almonds.

10. The Benefit of Berries
Ah, the sweet taste of fresh berries! Berries are actually good for you and contain plant nutrients called anthocyanidins. These are incredible antioxidants and some have high levels of resveratrol, which helps fight heart disease and cancer. The next time you want something sweet, juicy, and good for you, reach for blueberries, grapes, strawberries or just any of your favorites and do not feel guilty!

11. Some like it Hot
Hot, spicy foods that contain curry, chilies, or other hot peppers such as cayenne, help to trigger endorphins. These hormones are what make people feel good and well balanced. In fact, endorphins are like a natural morphine that helps ease pain and provide a sense of well being. The next time you are feeling a little down or have some minor pain, try eating something spicy.

12. Your going to hate this one "No More Caffeine"
Caffeine can dehydrate your body so try to remove it from your daily intake. This may require some weaning, but when done, you will feel better. If you feel that you need something, instead of grabbing a cup of caffeinated coffee or soda, try drinking herbal tea.
That's right DUMP STARBUCKS!

13. Green Tea
Studies have shown that adding green tea to your daily diet provides several health benefits to include the metabolizing of fat, ease of digestion, and is a good source of flavonoids. Another benefit is that tea is a form of a natural diuretic, which is very mild and not harmful.

I hope you find these tips helpful and I wish you the best of luck with your healthy diet plan.
