Weight Loss Hint--Chew On This
Most of us eat quickly, chewing each bite just a few times, which means we consume more food than we realize. Slow down and you'll slim down: In a recent study, people who chewed each bite 40 times ate almost 12 percent less than those who chewed just 15 times. When we chew longer, our bodies produce less ghrelin, a hormone that boosts appetite, and more of the peptide hormones that are believed to curb hunger. "Chewing seems to stimulate the gut to make appetite-suppressing peptide hormones," Dr. Cypess explains. Plus, the more you chew, the more thoroughly you break down food, which may release nutrients into your blood faster and give your brain time to register that you're full. From now on, focus on eating slowly at every meal. Put down your fork between bites and work your way up to 40 chews per mouthful of food.

Nutrition Hint--How Vitamin D Can Help You Lose LBS.
Taking this vitamin daily may help you drop pounds. A study at the University of Minnesota found that people who started a weight-loss program with higher levels of D lost more than those who weren't getting enough of the nutrient. Other research suggested that vitamin D appears to boost the effectiveness of leptin, a hormone that signals the brain that you're full. Because it's difficult to get D from food, Shalamar Sibley, MD, an assistant professor of medicine at the university, says you may need to take a vitamin D3 supplement. Many experts now recommend 1,000 international units every day.

Metabolism Retraining Hint--Strength Training At The Office
Studies from the CDC have found that muscle-building exercise can also improve balance, reduce the likelihood of falls, improve blood-sugar control, and improve sleep and mental health.
Exercise doesn't only have to mean running at the track or working out at the gym. You can find ways to fit in some much needed activity at work! Sitting still for long periods of time may cause aches and pains and/or long-term musculoskeletal issues.
Exercising at your desk may not replace regular workouts, but they can help keep you in shape when you can't get away from the office. Follow these simple exercises to tone up at your desk: Try getting up and sitting down without using your hands. This may seem easy but it's hard to do if you don't have balance. Repeat about 10 times.
Sitting in your chair, lift one leg off the seat, and straighten it (don't bend your knees), count to three and lower your foot (stop short of the floor) and hold for several seconds. Switch legs and repeat the motion. Do each leg 15 times. Focus on keeping your movements slow and still.
To work your chest and shoulders, you can do chair dips: place both hands on your chair arms and slowly lift your bottom off the chair, straightening your arms. Lower yourself back down and stop when your bottom is a few inches off the seat, count to 5. Do 15 times. Avoid sore wrists by moving your wrists in circles, 10 times to the left and 10 times to the right.
Remember, working out doesn't have to be complicated - you can get exercise in by strength training at your desk!
