5 Tips To Cure Vacation Constipation

Dec 22, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

travel_constipation_and_bloatingVacation constipation is one of traveler problem that many people don’t want to talk about it. Sitting on planes and in cars for long periods of time isn’t good for your gut. You’ll feel bloated, and you’re not likely to fit into or feel great in your shorts or swimsuit. If you’ve been eating a healthy diet of fiber, fruit, and veggies and take a break to indulge in mile-high stacks of pancakes, bagels, pizza, and mounds of fries, you might find yourself stopping in a convenience store for Metamucil.

Here are a few cures for traveler from Danielle Svetcov, the author of The Un-Constipated Gourmet: Secrets to a Moveable Feast With 125 Recipes for the Regularity Challenged.

  1. Avoid loading up on foods that are low in fiber and can get your gut stuck, like refined white bread, pastas, and pastries. Choose whole-grain and whole-wheat options whenever possible.
  2. Spend 10 minutes on your back and bring your legs to your chest one at a time, as if you’re cycling.
  3. Go for an hour-long walk at a fast pace, then lie down for an hour.
  4. Have 3 ounces of dark chocolate (choose a bar that has at least 65% cacao), and chase it with a hot cup of black coffee or an 8-ounce glass of warm water. You need to sit still for at least one hour afterward for this remedy to work. (If you’re on vacation, now’s a good time to skip the museum tour.)
  5. Pour yourself a shot or two of brandy in a warm glass. Slowly eat five prunes (unsulfured is best) and in between bites, sip the warm brandy. Again, you’ll need to sit still for an hour afterward.(health)

How to Eating Out Without Getting Fat

Oct 22, 2009 by admin 2 Comments

eatingwomanHere are few tips to keep your weight balance when you eating out.

Do a late lunch. Ask if you can get a smaller lunch-size portion at dinnertime. Or, choose an appetizer as your meal; the portions are more likely single-serving-sized.

Get it to go. If you order a full entree, ask for a to-go box along with your meal, then package up at least half of it before you take the first bite. Or, ask the waiter to have the kitchen box up half of your meal before it’s even served to you.

Skip the fat. Ask for foods to be grilled, steamed or broiled instead of sautéed or fried. Or, request that your entrée be cooked “dry,” which is restaurant-speak for no added oil or butter. Request lemon or lime wedges or some fresh herbs to add your own flavor. [Read more…] about How to Eating Out Without Getting Fat
