3 Ways To Eat Better
By Michael Roizen, M.D., and Mehmet Oz, M.D.
Batman and Robin. Will and Grace. iPods and treadmills. Alone, they're
not bad. But together, they're amazing. Same with these eating moves.
Pair them up and supercharge your health.
1. Avocados and tomatoes. The healthy fats in avocados help your body absorb carotenoids, important compounds in tomatoes and other bright-red, orange and yellow vegetables. Carotenoids cut your risk of heart disease, cancer and even macular degeneration. In one study, three-quarters of a medium avocado supercharged the veggies' power. But because avocados are high in calories, we recommend eating only one-quarter at a time.
2. Calcium and vitamin D. Together, these nutrients help strengthen your bones and your immune system far better than they do separately (vitamin D increases your absorption of calcium). And that's not all: They help keep your arteries healthier, which protects your heart, reduces wrinkling and aids sexual function in men. AND they help ward off type 2 diabetes --you're a whopping 33 percent less likely to develop it if you get at least 1,200 milligrams (mg) of calcium and 800 international units (IU) of vitamin D a day than if you consume half that much. We'd go further: We recommend getting 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 (the most potent form of D) and adding 400 mg of magnesium to the mix; it helps prevent constipation from calcium.
3. You and a slimmer friend. When people who are trying to lose weight buddy up with someone who has already slimmed down, the pounds melt away. In fact, it's more effective to have one friend who's actually lost weight than three who just think they know how to do it.

3 Things That Can Help You Slim Down
I have JUST NOW read my FIRST sample of this website and find it FASCINATING!!!
One note, those who have Multiple Sclerosis should take AT LEAST 500 mg of Magnesium (and possibly as much as 1000 mg - the SAFE and NON-TOXIC level recommended on the bottle) because ALL patients who had been diagnosed w/ MS (in a recent study) were found to have EXTREMELY LOW LEVELS of Magnesium when samples of their hair were examined. Magnesium levels are NOT determinable by any BLOOD TEST because this mineral is found at the CELLULAR LEVEL and can ONLY be detected by examining hair samples. Since Magnesium affects METABOLISM, MUSCLES and CELL ACTIVITIES it is an IMPORTANT mineral to have PROPER LEVELS of in your diet. And, according to Pharmasists, the BEST way to ingest Magnesium is in POWDER form which is also available as a tablet if the bottle of Magnesium is "Recommended by Pharmisists".
FYI: I found this out by googling MS and Magnesium!!
