Tips to Help Control Food Cravings
Food cravings can be triggered by various things including low blood sugar, stress, and other emotional triggers. The best way to take control is to understand how to balance your meals and snacks to avoid the traps that trigger food cravings.
Do not skip meals. Eat three meals a day and include snacks when needed. Try not to let more than 5 hours go between meals and snacks. This will help keep your blood sugar stable and avoid getting to the place where you are extremely hungry. Low blood sugar and extreme hunger can be a dangerous combination and almost always leads to overeating. Plan ahead and keep healthy snacks around.

Obesity is a condition in which the natural energy reserve, stored in the fatty tissue of humans and other mammals, is increased to a point where it is associated with certain health conditions or increased mortality.
Obesity is both an individual clinical condition and is increasingly viewed as a serious public health problem. Excessive body weight has been shown to predispose to various diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis.

AIDS is the leading cause of death in African American females between the ages of 25-34.
As an African American female, 33 years of age, that truth rocked me to the very core. Women my age, sisters of all shades of Black, all shapes and sizes, are the ones dying at an alarming rate from AIDS Related Complications.
Once upon a time there was a happily married woman who practically worshiped the ground her husband walked on. They were the proud parents of fraternal twins and life for them appeared to be perfect. After all, what Sade didn’t know about Andre shouldn’t have hurt her, right? So, why did she contract HIV from a man she thought she knew as well as she knew herself? She didn’t have a clue that he was on the down low, sleeping with other men.
How is this so when the HIV virus is preventable? My sisters, I urge each of you to take the responsibility for your safety into your own hands. In a perfect world, we would be able to trust our mates to protect us and keep us safe from dangers such as HIV. However, in this world, let’s take our safety into our own hands by practicing safe sex with every sexual encounter. We have the power to change the statistics by educating ourselves and each other about HIV/AIDS.
June 27, 2009 is National HIV Testing Day; get tested and know your status.
Linda R. Herman is the author of Consequences, a novel that dares to raise the awareness of HIV/AIDS. Visit the author online at www.LindaRHerman.org to learn more about her work.
