You might be one of those people who eat pizza at least once a week. Hopefully, the delivery number is not in your fast dial. Pizza is tagged as one of the highest source of sodium and saturated fat according to experts. It is undeniably yummy and an inexpensive delight so letting it go is quite difficult. But you can make a healthier pizza by just changing the toppings you use.. Here are some of our suggestions

Goat cheese and Prosciutto Pizza

Instead of the usual sausages and pepperonis, use prosciutto instead. It will give you that meaty flavor and satisfaction sans the grease and the calories. To trim the calories down further, let go of the mozzarella and use goat cheese instead which can also provide all that creamy goodness.

Chicken barbecue pizza

Feeling guilty about the extra cheese and meatballs on your favorite pie? If you are craving for a dose of protein, you can use cheddar that is reduced in fat and and chicken breast without the skin of course plus a coat of barbecue sauce to give it a boost of flavor.

Spinach Pizza

Drop the thought of ordering some side salad with your pizza, instead sprinkle some greens on your pizza itself. You just need some blue cheese which you can crumble on your pizza and and use some spinach for toppings. The blue cheese can give the pizza a lot of flavor with less the fat you will get from all the mozzarella.

Greek Pizza

Here’s another good twist for your pizza craving. You just need some roasted bell peppers, grape tomatoes, olives, and some feta-cheese. This will be an explosion of flavor in your mouth without all the calories from your usual pizza.

A new research done in Greece said that Mediterranean-style diet can actually help prevent heart ailments. This diet basically includes a lot of fruits, vegetables, oil, nuts, whole grains, legumes, and fish. The author, Dr. Christina Chrysohoou from the University of Athens said that the nutrients from these foods help shield people’s hearts from diseases.

However, there is less information available on how these foods can help people who already have existing heart diseases. Dr. Chrysohoou’s team then set off to monitor 1,000 patients who have suffered from chest pains and heart attacks in the past. The test subjects were also limited to individuals who suffered from these chest pains and heart attacks during light exertion or while they were at rest.

The patients’ diets were also rated, from 0 to 55, on how close their individual diets resembled the Mediterranean ideal. The study showed that those who have converted to the Mediterranean diet have a lowered risk of suffering from another heart attack. The risk is lowered by 31%, to be exact, compared to the time they were discharged from the hospital.

Those who scored the lowest in the rating are more likely to suffer from another heart attack within the year. For every point added to the 55-point score, the risk lowers by 12%. Researchers found that patients who have adapted the Mediterranean diet are least likely to overwork the pumping mechanism of their hearts, as well as suffer from cardiac remodeling, or the harmful changing of the heart’s structures.

Now that we have talked a little bit about your attitude and how it can affect your life overall, let’s dive deeper into that topic.  Did you know that there are actually many people who can achieve many things but do not because of their attitude? 

For example – a person that I used to work with had a terrible attitude, he never got promoted, looked at, considered but the person that worked along beside him that always had a happy-go-lucky attitude actually got promoted.  What does that tell you?

Well, there are many different ways that you can be positive and just telling yourself that you are doing a great job can make a huge difference.  So keep your chin up and relax!

When you think about it – what is the one thing that most people forget about when they are dealing with their busy lives?  Their health.  To be honest, we all have fast-paced and busy lives where the things around us actually move a heck of a lot faster than us and that can actually change our vision of life and there are events that can happen to make us lose our belief.

Most of the time, self motivation and self confidence are two things that are nonexistent in the world right now and really … what is the one thing that can truly keep you happy and healthy?  Saying it!  While some people do not believe that a negative attitude can really unlock a world of mess for you, it has been proven!

In the next blog, we are going to go through some things that can truly help you stay healthy by saying you are!

Now that we have talked about just a couple of the benefits that you can reap from yoga, let’s talk about how yoga can manage the pain that you may be experiencing.  One of the greatest things about yoga is the fact that it truly is all about relaxing and once the skill of relaxing has been learned, you will begin to learn how to manage your pain and even assist with chronic depression.

Another great thing about yoga is that it can truly help you with weight management.  While the weight loss will be slow, you are going to be getting toner and toner and your weight will reduce a bunch – which is something that every single woman wants.

Most people practice yoga long-term, so if you begin practicing yoga, you could be able to keep it up for years and years and it could become a habit for you – which is good.

Menopause – it is finally that time in your life that you are dealing with menopause and let me tell you women … it is a terrible thing to be dealing with.  The reason that we go through menopause is because our body naturally stops the production of hormones such as progesterone and estrogen in our ovaries.  However – just because you are going through it does not mean that you have to deal with all of the symptoms that go along with menopause.

There are a ton of different homeopathic remedies out there that can truly help you to get relief from menopause symptoms and to be honest, they are probably the best way to get rid of them as they are mostly all natural and that really is the way to go.  Now, whenever you are dealing with homeopathic remedies, you want to make sure that you get someone professional and experienced to relieve your menopause symptoms – that way they can assess you completely.

Menopause is not something that is easy to deal with and to be honest, it is something that every single woman is going to have to deal with at some point in their life.

Stress is something that everyone in the world deals with; however, what really matters is how you deal with your stress.  Breathwork and meditation are two things that honestly can really help you in the long run not only feel better about your life but it can really promote spiritual, physical and mental well-being, which is something that everyone in the world is striving for right at this moment.  One thing that people do not understand about breathwork is what it is … that is what we are going to explore below.

One of the first things that you need to know about breathwork is that there are many different benefits to it and it actually centers itself on your breathing and your breathing alone.  Breathwork is known throughout the world and there are a ton of different benefits to it, including: relaxation, release, access and integrate emotions, memories and patterns that are stored in the body, bring a lasting peace and calm to your body and to truly help you with your stress.

Breathwork can be done pretty much anywhere that there are no distractions around – you just need to calm down, concentrate fully on your breathing and I promise you will feel better!

Aromatherapy is something that you can use for many, many different things.  Physical, mental and emotional help can all come from the different scents that you are inhaling.  However, did you know that Lavender the scent can truly do many different things for you and not just put you to sleep.  That is one of the cool things about lavender – it has so many benefits to it.

One of the biggest things that I have noticed about lavender oil is the fact that it actually can calm you down.  Let’s say that you are at work and you are stressed out – just take out your little bottle of this beautiful liquid and I can promise that you are going to be calmed right the hell down.

Also, if you put lavender into your tub when you are taking a bath, I can promise that it will make your skin feel so soft and you will be so calmed and relaxed, it truly is crazy!

If there is one juice that I think that has helped a lot of people in the long run, it has got to be cranberry juice.  If you are a person that has been suffering from urinary track infections all of your life, did you know that if you just start drinking a glass a day of cranberry juice it really can help you with those?  While it has not been proven that cranberry juice ‘cures’ UTI’s, it definitely does help them by altering the pH of the urine itself.

Cranberry juice is something that can be sour, however if it will help you with those painful infections, it is something that you should at least give a try.  Personally, I have been drinking cranberry juice at least once a day for years and I have never had a problem with UTI’s since I started!

So if you are looking for a natural way to stop your urinary track infections, cranberry juice is going to be it!

You would be surprised at how effortless you can make your life healthier.  It is seriously easy to start being a little more active each day.  You do not have to buy a gym membership, you will not even need to alter your daily schedule all that much. There is nothing wrong with starting small and then building up.

For instance, turning off your television for a while — just once each week. Do something else, whether you take a walk by yourself or initiate an active game with your family.

For that matter, try to walk whenever you can. You can just park at the back of the parking lot and walk to your office, the store, et cetera. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. These are idea for those of us who can’t really afford a treadmill.

Even certain chores will make you more active. Use a push mower instead of a riding mower. Sweep the porch, shovel snow, vacuum, rake some grass or leaves.

Believe it or not, pacing can be helpful as well — hey, you’re moving, right? You can do it on the phone, you can do it virtually any time!
