Raising the level of dietary fiber, while lowering the amount of fat in your diet, is one of the most effective changes you can make, both in terms of weight loss and overall health and fitness. Unfortunately, most people consume too much fat and not enough fiber, and reversing that trend can be difficult even for the most motivated.

A good place to start is by knowing which foods are highest in dietary fiber. Eating a diet rich in these foods is a good way to boost fiber while lowering fat and other negative dietary elements.

When boosting the amount of fiber in the diet, however, it is best to start gradually in order to let your body adjust. An abrupt change in the amount of fiber in the diet can lead to cramps, abdominal pain, bloating and gas.

Among the highest fiber foods are cooked legumes (including dried peas and beans), dried fruits, nuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and berries. These foods all contain more than six grams of fiber per serving.

Foods which contain from four to six grams of fiber per serving include a baked potato (with the skin), apples, pears, barley, brown rice, bran muffins, lima beans, snow peas, green peas and sweet potatoes.

Further down the scale at two to four grams per serving are vegetables, citrus fruits, whole wheat bread, rye bread and melons. These foods are still good sources of fiber, but you will need to eat more of them to get the full effect. That’s fine, though, since they are healthy, nutritious foods in many ways.

In order to enjoy healthier eating habits for life, it is important to make fundamental changes in the way you shop, cook and eat. A diet should be more than a temporary change in eating habits; a true dietary change must be one you can follow for a lifetime.

When doing the weekly grocery shopping, get into the habit of hitting the produce section first. Fill your shopping basket with fresh, in season fruits and vegetables, as they are rich sources of vitamins and minerals as well as fiber. Canned fruits and vegetables are good substitutes when the fresh varieties are out of season.

When choosing baked goods, always try to find those made with more nutritious and fiber rich whole wheat flour, wheat bran, oat bran, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, oatmeal or raisins.

Become a label reader. The federally mandated nutritional labels contain a wealth of valuable information for those who take the time to understand them. Nutritional labels contain valuable information on the calorie content, fiber content, and vitamin content of all packaged foods, and many meats, seafood and poultry products as well.

Finally, there are some popular myths about fiber. It is important to dispel these myths as you seek to increase the level of fiber in the diet.

The first myth concerns the relationship of crispness to level of fiber. In short, the crispness of a food is no indication of the amount of fiber it contains. For instance, the vegetables commonly used in salads, although crisp, are not significant sources of fiber. The crunch of the lettuce is a result of the amount of water it contains, not its fiber content.

Many people also think that cooking foods breaks down fiber – it does not. Cooking has no effect on the fiber content of foods. Peeling vegetables and fruits, however, does remove some of the fiber, since the skins of fruits and vegetables contain fiber. Edible skins, such as apple peels, can be good sources of fiber.

No matter what your reasons for increasing the amount of fiber in your diet, you may well find that this is one of the most positive dietary changes you ever make. Increasing fiber can have a significant impact on your future health and well being, and the change is easier to make than many people think.

We all spend many hours in our home, and the bathroom is a place we can fix up and make it look and function at it’s best. Most bathrooms have a forty five degree cabinet, or other cabinet that is not used. It does not open and it just looks good without any purpose at all. Adding some function to the cabinet will help make the bathroom a better place. The trash can be burdensome in the bathroom and sore on the eyes, placing a trash can inside the cabinet is a super idea. It can create a hidden spot for the trash and make use of something that was being ignored.

Another interesting improvement could be an add on to the toilet paper holder. It is never fun to run out of toilet paper so a compartment could be built that holds many rolls. You could fill the compartment up and not ever run out of toilet paper. The size of this compartment has to be well thought out and it is important to make sure that it will not take up too much space. Doing these upgrades yourself can be great fun, you could take the diet aid Acceletrim and get your energy levels up and go to town and finish the projects in no time, or you could always hire someone to come and help you.

One of the best qualities of the successful sales professional is that when they play, they play hard, and they play to win.

I remember being introduced to a potential customer many years ago, as we were exchanging personal information it came up that we both played golf, the person who had facilitated the meeting said, “Bill is a real student of the game.”

Bill and I did meet on golf course a few times, and I came to find that he really was a student of the game. Bill not only constantly tried to improve his golf game, his swing, and keep up with equipment changes; he also studied and appreciated the history of the game. I was and still am just a little better than the average hacker (as an active sales representative, you don’t want your manager to see your handicap to low, they will wonder how you spend your time).

Bill had a partner in his business, and it was a somewhat successful business, however they were in a niche that was at that time growing very rapidly, their business was also growing but not at an astounding rate. I remember thinking that if Bill devoted as much energy to his business as he did to his golf game, he would be very successful.

This same analogy applies to sales people. A few years back I was running a monthly sales meeting for our group. One of our new sales reps had come to the sales force from another department, he had no formal sales training, and however someone in our organization saw some promise for him.

This “rookie” sales person did enjoy some early successes in a territory that had up to that time been relatively ignored.
I have always believed that sales is a learned skill and that the learning never stops, as such I stated that there was no such thing as a “natural born salesperson”, our new “rookie” sales rep looked as if he was going to be ill, he really thought that he was the answer to sales, that he knew all he needed to know, and we should all emulate him, we would then have his success.

I’m sure you can guess the eventual outcome, he was not nearly as successful in the long run, and in fact is not in sales today.

The moral of the story; become a true student of the game, the learning never does stop, each week, maybe even each day, a new book, a new theory, or a new training regimen hits the street. As real students of the game, we need to devour those offerings constantly searching for that one little nugget which will reenergize us and make us better sales people.

Callused, rough feet and hands are a common problem for professional and amateur athletes alike. When their feet and hands are not in top shape, it’s a silent factor that hurts a player’s game. Carol J. Buck, CEO of Xenna Corporation, says, “A number of top professional football and basketball teams have used our products to keep their feet and hands in top condition, including the New York Jets, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, San Antonio Spurs and Orlando Magic.” Xenna Corporation offers patented, natural solutions for discolored, thickened toenails, callused feet and hands and dry cracked heels.

Late last year their NonyX® Nail Gel was nominated by a professional football player to for inclusion in FX Sport’s National Football League and National Baseball League Alumni Guide and Yearbook. Only products personally endorsed by a player are permitted to appear in these publications.

Patented NonyX Nail Gel is an ethanoic acid topical that rids toenails of their yellow or dark discoloration by exfoliating the source of the problem – keratin debris buildup under the nail. Dark or yellow keratin debris can build up under nails over time, causing them to lose their clear, healthy-looking appearance. A recent clinical study confirmed NonyX Nail Gel significantly improves toenail color and clarity by exfoliating yellowing keratin debris from under the nail, and is safe for use by diabetics. A 4-oz bottle is a three month supply.

Basketball players also need to keep their feet in top-notch form and are turning to NonyX Gel as one solution. Ted Arzonico, Head Athletic Trainer of the Orlando Magic basketball team, reports, “Basketball players are leery of new products, but when they see my results, it’s a very different story. My nail looks really good.”

In 2005, NonyX Nail Gel will continue to introduce its benefits to athletes by supporting professional golf tournaments and Little League Baseball instructional events. It can be purchased in the footcare section of Walgreens, Rite Aid, Longs, Drug Emporium and most Medicine Shoppe drugstores or from podiatrists and independent pharmacies. . Online sources are www.drugstore.com and www.xenna.com.

For calluses and cracked heels, professional teams such as the Jets have discovered newly patented Callex® Callus Ointment. It is the first foot product to use plant-derived enzymes rather than acids to exfoliate thick or dry skin. These enzymes are selective to dry, thickened skin and therefore do not irritate or burn normal skin, thinning only what needs to be exfoliated, while leaving normal skin moisturized and soft. Callex has been shown in consumer studies to reduce callus, dry, flaking skin and cracking on soles and heels within 15 to 30 days. It is also safe for diabetic use. Callex Ointment is available in the footcare section at Longs Drugs and online at www.drugstore.com and www.xenna.com.

The Chinese have used ginger root for years for all sorts of things like cleansing the colon, reduce spasms and cramps, stimulate water retention, earache, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, stimulate circulation, and of course to aid the metabolism. HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid), a natural appetite suppressant found in the rind of a small tropical fruit, Garcinia cambogia has been used as a condiment in Thai and Indian cuisine for years.

Bromelain which is found in pineapple is very useful in helping with the digestion of fat producing enzymes that help curve the appetite that has been used by the Hawaiians and Tahitians for many generations for medicine purposes.

Small pocket pairs in Texas Hold ‘Em poker can be tough to play. Most likely the board will give a higher pair to another player once more cards come out. A low pair is a made hand, but one that is easily beat. The odds of drawing a third card to complete a set are 23-1.

If you are in early position, you must decide if you are willing to raise your poker bet. Sometimes it’s best to just lead out with a raise that is two or three times the minimum. This will narrow your field of opponents. If you are up against tight poker players, you might just win right away. Even calling the big blind at a tight table might be a good strategy since no other raise may come out and you get to see the flop cheaply. In early position, you must decide if you are willing to call a raise before you bet out with your small pocket pairs. If you are not willing to call a raiser behind you, then fold.

In late position, you have more information to guide your decision. If there is raising ahead of you, your small pocket pair is probably already beat and a long shot to improve. It’s best to fold them and wait for a better spot to play.
