A new study found that when people have an item they consider a meal food like thick slices of turkey, they eat less afterward than those who snack on things like chips, crackers or popcorn. So in order to cut down on overeating, try some of these options: half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or tuna salad on crackers.
Ladies, here’s something you don’t want to hear. You have heart disease. It’s become the leading cause of death for American women, so whether you like it or not, it’s something you need to know. Some risk factors like family history and age, can’t be changed. But there are some things you can do to lower your risk for heart disease. They include, getting a cardiac risk assessment, like the ones offered every month through St. John’s. You’ll get 5 tests for your heart for just $99.
