    Healthy Dieting Tips
     
    For a night out with friends, dinner out to celebrate a special occasion, or just because you don't feel like cooking, dining out is commonplace in modern society.
    Unfortunately, a lot of restaurant food is packed with added fat, sugar, and salt. You CAN eat healthy while eating out, however, with these 3 dieting tips for eating out:
     
    Cut out the Sauces! The majority of sauces and toppings are made from oil, sugar, and butter (or all of the above) and often contain added salt. Simply by forgoing the sauces, you can often cut hundreds of calories. When it comes to salads, opt for clear salad dressings. Remember, the creamy it is, the more calories it likely has.
     
    Healthier Options and Sides - Many restaurants are now offering healthier side dish options and even healthier meals. If you can't find what you're looking for, don't be afraid to ask. As waiters and waitresses aim to please, they are generally happy to accommodate minor changes in meals and side dishes whenever possible.
     
    Size Matters - Growing portion sizes plague many restaurants, which also lead people to eating larger portions as home… but that's a whole other story. In the majority of western restaurants, one "meal" can easily be divided into two. And if you're having an appetizer, your main course can likely be kept for 2 additional meals later. Don't be shy! Ask your waiter or waitress to pack up half (or more) of your meal and take it home for later or to share with friends and family.

    Sleep plays an important role in keeping you fresh and active whole day. But sometimes sleep just doesn't come easy and sleeping pills are not at all a good option. One of the easiest methods of enjoying sound sleep is to change your eating habits. Many food items have typical properties that keep you awake, so let's eliminate them and include some healthy foods that help you sleep.

     


     

    Foods that can help you sleep:


    1. Mashed Potatoes: It's recommended to avoid potato sandwich in breakfast as they are heavy and make you feel sleepy. Now you know they are good when you really need to sleep. Potatoes rank low on the Glycemic Index, a ranking of carbohydrates and their effect on blood glucose levels. Try mashed potatoes with low-fat milk tonight and wake up fresh.

    2. Oatmeal: Oatmeal is full of fiber and warms your belly which makes you feel satisfied. Thus this works well before going to bed. Sprinkle your bowl of oatmeal with warm milk for an extra dose of sleep-inducing nutrition.

    3. Bananas: Banana contains melatonin and tryptophan which helps you feel sleep. This fruit also contains magnesium, known as a muscle relaxer to help you ease away physical tension and stress.

    4. Turkey: Turkey is rich in the amino acid tryptophan which helps promote healthy sound sleep. Tryptophan helps the brain make serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is necessary for sleep and relaxation, and melatonin. This has recently become popular as a supplemental sleep aid.

    5. Milk: Have you ever thought how a small child relax and sleeps happily after breast feeding, yes it's due to milk. Warm milk is another rich source of tryptophan, which is soothing and will help your body relax.

    Caffeine and sugar-laden foods can ruin your sleep so avoid having chocolate or coffee before heading towards bed.
