Welcome to the category of my blog simply called ‘Healthy Tips.’ Many times, when I write articles for various publications, I need to find sources for the story as seen in Yahoo Shine (click here) or PBS (click here) about staying healthy. I was looking for experts and non-experts to chime in and give their favorite ‘tips’ to help kids and adults lead a healthy lifestyle.

The feedback for various stories was amazing. The sources had some fantastic points of view that could not be ignored, and I thought their opinions should be viewed on the Your Health Journal web site.

So, enjoy my new series, with some ‘great’ insight from some ‘great’ people giving exceptional and educational points of view.

“Stop dieting and keep your metabolism revved up by eating small, balanced meals every 3-4 hours containing selections such as good carbs (fruits and vegetables), complete proteins from meat, whey (dairy protein), egg whites, healthy fats from nuts, fatty fish, avocados or good oils. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, don’t look for a quick fix. Focus on creating healthier habits and add one healthy practice every two weeks to hold yourself accountable.”
