中秋烤肉 營養師：少用加工肉品
中秋佳節前夕，台中縣童綜合醫院營養師陳俞穎今天提醒民眾，月餅最好1天吃不超過1個，烤肉的食材，儘量少用加工肉品，多選擇低脂肉品，且要記得搭配蔬菜，達到均衡的飲食。
陳俞穎說，月餅屬於高糖分、高脂肪、高膽固醇、高熱量的食物，選擇應以少糖少油為佳，1天吃不超過1個為原則，同時記得要減少飯量及油脂的攝取。
對於糖尿病患者而言，她除了提醒注意澱粉類的攝取，避免血糖上升；芋頭、地瓜、甜不辣、玉米、吐司等屬於五穀根莖類，跟米飯一樣，宜節制食用；至於腎臟病患者，若有攝取包肉餡的月餅，則應注意當天總肉類的攝取量。
許多人喜愛在中秋夜晚烤肉，陳俞穎建議，一定要適量的搭配蔬菜，可選擇金針菇、新鮮香菇、花椰菜、青椒、筊白筍、蘆筍、草菇、絲瓜等，這些食材搭配烤肉，不但很對味、而且很健康。
有關肉類的選擇，陳俞穎說，以低脂、新鮮為佳，低脂肉品如去皮的家禽類（雞胸肉）；牲畜類選擇瘦肉為佳，避免三層肉、霜降肉及香腸、培根等；海鮮類如魚類、蝦子、花枝、文蛤等。
她同時提醒，儘量少用加工肉品，如魚丸、貢丸、香腸、熱狗等，因為加工品為了提高風味，多會選擇較高脂肪的原料。
另外，陳俞穎指出，一般市售的烤肉醬，往往含有較高的糖分和鹽分，慢性病患者可用天然食材，如蔥、薑、蒜等自製烤肉醬，避免攝取過多的糖分及鹽分造成身體的負擔。
她並說，烤肉應避免飲用含糖飲料，選擇以無糖茶類，如綠茶、紅茶、麥茶、烏龍茶，解渴又能解油膩。

銀髮族運動養生之道─持續不間斷才是健康的不二法門！
Posture—good posture—is important to our health in many ways. It keeps our bones and joints in correct alignment, so we use our muscles correctly. It lowers our chances of injury and reduces muscle strain. And it allows our muscles to operate efficiently. Unfortunately, most women spend nearly eight hours a day sitting—the biggest posture predator. So take a minute to learn the correct way to sit—and try to get up and move around often. Sitting basics: Use a chair with an armrest, if possible. Keep your feet on the floor or on a footrest. Your ankles should be in front of your knees, and your knees should be at or below hip level. If you catch yourself crossing your legs—stop! And when you get a chance to stand up, pull back your shoulders and lightly contract your stomach muscles. You want to have your feet about shoulder-width apart, bending slightly at the knees. Line up your earlobes to your shoulders.
During a TV commercial break or between tasks at work, check your pulse for one minute to see if you have a racing heart. The sweet spot is between 60 and 80 beats per minute. Anything higher than 80 means you should make an appointment with your doctor.
Rich in nine essential nutrients, such as potassium, vitamin D, and phosphorous— which experts believe can help lower the risk of some cancers, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome—milk contains the right mix of proteins and carbs to revive your muscles after your Curves workout. A glass of fat-free milk has just 80 calories. Or, opt for a Curves protein shake made with fat-free milk, 110 calories.
Wearing a different pair of shoes—of varying heel heights—every day lessens the demands placed on any one muscle group in our feet, not to mention our backs and legs. Alternate those high heels and ballet flats with shoes that have a 1-to 2-inch heel.
They're high in magnesium, which is good, since low magnesium has been linked to type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Also, studies show that women with low levels of magnesium have to work harder to perform basic tasks. Snack on a handful of almonds, Brazil nuts, peanuts, walnuts, or roasted pumpkin seeds to get 20% of your daily dose.
Once a month, take a minute to exam your breasts. The success rate for treating breast cancer is much higher the sooner it's caught. If you purchased a Liv Aid (left) at your club last fall, be sure to follow the instructions. Breastcancer.org also has a step-by-step guide to self-exams. Beyond feeling for lumps, you're looking for anything out of the ordinary. Remember, yearly breast exams by your doctor shouldn't be missed. (Liv Aids are available at participating Curves.)
Capsaicin, the compound that puts the pep in red and green chile peppers, can crank up your metabolism and help you feel fuller faster. Several studies show eating 1 tablespoon of chopped chile peppers (30 mg of capsaicin) leads to a temporary 23% boost in metabolism. Researchers of another study found that when participants took 0.9 grams of red pepper, which was given in capsule form or naturally in tomato juice, before each meal, they reduced their total calorie intake by 10% or 16%, respectively, for two days afterward—yet they didn't feel hungry. Try adding some fresh chile peppers or a sprinkle of red-pepper flakes to your salads, pasta sauces, and other dishes.
When you need a midday pick-me-up, stand up and do your favorite Curves recovery board moves. Whether you like to step in place, do some shadowboxing, tap your toes, or do a fun dance move on the boards, the quick break will give you a jolt of energy. Even better, by adding in more movement throughout your day, you'll also help keep your metabolism running high, says James O. Hill, PhD, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Denver.
Perhaps no other drink is as closely associated with calm and comfort as tea. And for good reason. Scientists at the University College London gave a group of volunteers a stressful task. The cortisol levels (the stress hormone) of those who were regular black-tea drinkers dropped 47% within an hour of completing the assignment, while other volunteers who drank fake tea experienced only a 27% drop. Thank black tea's naturally occurring chemicals, such as polyphenols and fl avonoids, for its calming effects.
Vitamin C is a known wrinkle reducer, and eating just two clementines—those portable, easy-to-peel mini oranges— provides 96% of your daily needs.
