Eat lots of fruit and veg

Eat lots of fruit and veg Most people know we should be eating more fruit and veg. But most of us still aren't eating enough. Try to eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and veg every day. It might be easier than you think. You could try adding up your portions during the day. For example, you could have: a glass of juice and a sliced banana with your cereal at breakfast a side salad at lunch a pear as an afternoon snack a portion of peas or other vegetables with your evening meal You can choose from fresh, frozen, tinned, dried or juiced, but remember potatoes count as a starchy food, not as portions of fruit and veg

DIET SUPPLEMENTS

Everyone wants to be trim

And losing weight can be difficult at times. While diet and exercise are helpful, sometimes those two things alone are simply not enough to get us to our ideal weight. There are a ton of diet weight loss supplements out there on the market today. Here are a few of the most popular. Green tea has been known for centuries to help speed up weight loss. It activates the thyroid gland and stimulates it, prompting the body’s metabolism to speed up, this resulting weight loss. Another added benefit of green tea supplements is that they are also good for the heart, and have very little side effects. This makes green tea one of the most popular of all diet weight loss supplements

A new pill, made from a seaweed plant extract, that fools the stomach into thinking it is full could be the latest diet drug to tackle obesity.

The drug, known as Appesat, works by stretching the stomach wall, in turn stimulating receptors that signal to the brain that the stomach is full. The effects of the drug are similar to those of gastric balloons, surgically inserted to create the same effect.

Already approved by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority, the new pill is simply swallowed with water half an hour before meals and is washed through the body after digestion and flushed out.

The special seaweed ingredient is harvested on the French Atlantic coast and works inside the body by swelling to several times its normal size.
