Introduction

Which body shape do you have? Apple or Pear?

Heart disease risk is also affected by where we put extra fat. Most guys are apple-shaped, which means they store fat between their waist and chest. Women, on the other hand, tend to be pear-shaped, which means their hips and legs hold extra fat. It looks like women who store fat in a way that guys do are more likely to get heart disease or have a heart attack.

The waist-to-hip ratio is another way to find out where your fat is stored and how likely you are to get heart disease. Divide the size of your waist by the size of your hips to get your waist-to-hip ratio. If the number is greater than 1, an apple form will appear. A pear form is shown by a number less than 1. Remember that a waist-to-hip ratio higher than 1 means that you store fat in a way that is similar to men. This type of fat storage has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease.

Tips for Snacking

Snacks like fruits and veggies are good. The American Heart Association (AHA) says that every day you should eat at least 5 pieces of fruits and veggies. Don't forget that fruit drinks are another way to get your daily suggested amount of fruit. Try to find drinks that are made of only juice. Blend or cocktail drinks are not good for you because they have less juice and more sugar. Wash, cut, and put away veggies in the fridge so they are ready to eat whenever you want. With your veggies, try some dips that are low in fat or don't have any fat at all.

Snacks made with dairy are also good. If you eat skim milk or low-fat yogurt, you will not only feel full, but your body will also get calcium and other vitamins and minerals.

Always on the go? Keep healthy snacks on the kitchen table, in your car, or in your desk box at work. Most places of work have fridges where you can keep snacks like milk or veggies. Try having a snack in the middle of the morning or afternoon if you feel tired. It will help you stay awake.

Holiday Food Tips

It's worst to stick to a healthy eating plan during the holidays. Remember that the holidays probably aren't the best time to start a diet, but you can still eat healthily during this time.

Going out to eat. Eat small, healthy meals during the day if you know you have something important to do in the evening. That way, you can enjoy a few treats in the evening. If you don't give yourself these treats, you will want them even more. You could also eat a small, healthy snack or meal before the party so that you don't feel too hungry there. Walk around and talk to other people instead of going straight to the food table. If you get hungry, try not to eat fried foods. Instead, eat fresh fruits and veggies. If you know someone will try to get you to eat more, don't eat as much the first time. When you put them together, they'll make a normal-sized meal.

• Work out. During the holidays, don't forget to stick to your workout plan. You will be able to control your weight much better if you work out and burn off those extra calories. Plus, if you work out more over the holidays, you might be able to eat a few more treats without gaining weight.

Sugars and carbs

In a healthy diet, carbs are the main source of power. Cells in our bodies change carbs into a sugar called glucose.

You can quickly turn glycogen back into glucose if you need to. The extra glucose is stored as fat once your body has made enough glycogen.

Carbs are things like sugars and starches. To describe sugars, we use the terms simple carbohydrates or simple sugars. One type of simple sugar that is used a lot is glucose. Because glucose molecules link together, they make a group of bigger molecules known as complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are things like starches and fiber.
