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.

One thing a person can do for quick weight loss without entirely eliminating their carb intake is to simple cut their carb intake by 1/3. This will reduce the insulin in their blood stream and increase their production of growth hormone, which helps metabolize fat. No need to complicate things just cut your normal helping of potatoes, rice, or cereal into three and take one share away. You will immediately begin to feel less bloated and increase your fat burning potential.
