Be Healthy - Eat Malungay

How True Is It?

The question would be... Chew more, Weigh Less?

Next time you grab a handful of nuts to snack on, count to 40.

A recent study revealed that when people ate a small serving of almonds, 40 chews quelled hunger better than 10 or even 25 crunches of the same amount of nuts.

The Magic Number
Not only did the extra chews help curb hunger best, but also the feelings of fullness lasted longest when people gave the nuts the extra chews. And the practice may work with other foods, too, because researchers suspect it may simply be the mere act of chewing that switches on your brain's satiety center.

Cool huh!

Be Strong with Magnesium!

Been feeling like a wet dishrag lately? Could be you’re low on magnesium.

Magnesium is a multitasking mineral, and one of its jobs is to power up our muscles. Unfortunately, many of us don’t get enough of it -- especially as we get older.

Is Frailty Inevitable?
To counter age-related muscle loss and bouts of feeling wimpy, you need to do two things:

* Build up your muscles.

* Be sure you’re eating a balanced diet and getting your fair share of magnesium.
