If you have diabetes, you're at increased risk of heart disease and stroke. That's because diabetes can accelerate the development of clogged and hardened arteries. Here's where heart-healthy eating becomes part of your diabetes diet.
Get no more than 7 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat, and try to avoid trans fat completely. The best way to reduce your intake of saturated and trans fats is to limit the amount of solid fat — butter, margarine and shortening — you add to food when cooking and serving. Use low-fat substitutions when possible. For example, top your baked potato with salsa or low-fat yogurt rather than butter, or use sugar-free fruit spread on your toast instead of margarine.
When you do use fat, u should choose monounsaturated fats — such as oilive. Polyunsaturated fats, found in nuts and seeds, are a healthier choice also When used in place of saturated fat, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats may help lower your total blood cholesterol. But moderation is essential. All types of fat are high in calories. so u should take care of that..

HOW TO REDUCE BACK SIZE
Posted by on Wednesday, 21st January 2009
We all wish and strive to have a lean body. Exercise does not only burn fats but also strengthens our muscles. Here are 3 effective exercises which help make your buttock muscles lean and strong.
Body roll
Lie on your back on a floor. Bend your knees and clasp your hands around them and pull your knees towards your chest. Now while inhaling deeply roll to your right side. Now exhale when you drop to your right side and rest for 5 seconds. Now resume your position of bent knees and clasped hands around it while you're still on your right side. Push yourself up with your right side and now roll to your left side. Inhale while you roll and exhale when you limp down to your left side. Repeat this exercise rolling from left to right and perform this cycle 3 times. This exercise does not only tone your hips but your thighs too.
Dancing legs
Lie back on a floor and raise your arms straight above you. Now raise your left leg as high as you can and bring your arms to hold your left ankle. Inhale while you raise your left leg and all this time keep your right leg flat on the floor.
Tighten the abdomen and bend your leg and press it against your chest. Exhale while you bend.
Now raise your head to meet your knee. Breathe freely and hold this position for 5 seconds. Keep your body firm and make sure that you don't roll to any side. Now lower yourself down slowly inhaling this time. Repeat the exercise this time with your right leg. When you're done then repeat it using both legs. This exercise firms your abdomen and thighs other than buttocks.
Leg splits
Sit and split your legs as much as you can. Inhale while you stretch to hold your left leg. Try touching your knee with your head if possible. Hold this position for a few seconds for your muscles to stretch. Now repeat this exercise while bending to your right side.
Sit with your feet wide apart and place your palms flat in front of you on the floor. Bend forward and slide your hands farther as you keep lowering yourself. Lower as much as you can and feel your spine and inner thighs stretch. Raise yourself gradually and then repeat the exercise.
Sit with feet wide apart and lower your body forward so that your head touches the floor. Stretch your arms to touch your feet. Repeat this exercise 3 times
