An Unhappy Marriage Can Put Your Heart at Risk
Women who are unhappy in their marriage are more likely to have high blood pressure and be obese, two risk factors which can increase a woman’s risk of heart disease. Researchers at the University of Utah, where the study was conducted, suspect the link occurs because women are more likely to internalize their feelings and base their self-worth on the success of their relationship.
Avoid Portion Size Pitfalls
Portion sizes have gotten larger in the last few years. A single bagel can actually contain two or even three servings. An individual bag of chips can easily feed more than one person. To control portions, read food packages to determine the number of servings before you begin eating. Serve yourself only one portion and put away the rest.
Eating a Hearty Breakfast Can Be Healthy
New research suggests a breakfast that includes protein, carbohydrates, and a bit of fat can lead to weight loss by lessening cravings and hunger for the rest of the day. In the study, women who ate a big breakfast lost 21 percent of their body weight after 8 months, compared with 4.5 percent for women who ate a small breakfast.
