Basic Weight Gain Prevention

There are two basic preventive measures for prevention of weight gain and prevention of a variety of diseases and illnesses. In fact, they are so basic, that more often than not they have been ignored.

One measure is diet; eating nutritious food affects many aspects of your life. If you eat healthy and eat in moderation you can keep your weight in a normal range and control your triglyceride levels, lower your blood pressure, and ultimately have a productive life.

Some simple changes to your diet produce great results. You can lower your triglycerides dramatically by doing the following:
-Reduce your intake of starchy food, saturated and hydrogenated fat and use vegetable oil in cooking.
-Increase your intake of omega-3, fatty acid by taking supplements or eating salmon or adding flax-seed power to your salad.
-Increase soluble fiber in your diet.

Don't forget about your intake of vitamin C and E to reduce oxidation. Fresh garlic and onion can reduce stickiness in your blood and may help to increase HDL.
