Avoid putting on weight this festive season
London: A weight-loss expert has doled out advice on how one can avoid putting on the pounds during the festive season.Caroline Deakin, a weight-loss expert for cosmetic surgery provider, SurgiCare, has offered simple tips for the weight conscious people, reports the Daily Express .
Firstly, a portion of roast turkey with skin on has 5.8g fat. Removing the skin will cut down the fat by 50 percent.
Saying no to a slice of streaky bacon will save one from 84 calories and 6.7g fat, and opting for baked potatoes, which contains about 0.4 grams fat, is better than eating an average portion of potatoes roasted in oil, which contains 9g fat.
Bread sauce should be made with skimmed or semi-skimmed and not whole milk, and it is better to make your own stuffing, as the shop-bought stuffing is often high in salt and varieties made with sausage meat can be high in saturated fat.
To avoid a lot of calorie, a gravy skimmer should be used, and large servings of Brussels sprouts and carrots, which are low in fat and high in antioxidants, will fill one up and ensure the calorie content remains low.
Opt for low-fat or low-sugar custard made with semi-skimmed milk or low-fat creme fraiche instead of brandy butter as an accompaniment to Christmas pudding.
Eat before going to a party to ensure you don’t gorge on fat-laden canapes, nuts and nibbles. Choose crudites and a low-fat dip, chicken skewers and prawns with a chilli dip as healthy alternatives.
Choose diet mixers to drink with alcohol or add diet lemonade or soda water to wine for a refreshing spritzer.

Coffee, Exercise Fight Prostate Cancer
TUESDAY, Dec. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Having a few more cups of coffee and running that extra mile each day can reduce a man's risk of dying of prostate cancer, two studies indicate.The case for coffee and physical activity as prostate cancer preventatives is far from proven, according to the research reported Tuesday at an American Association for Cancer Research meeting in Houston. But data from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study show a clear association with both daily activities.
"I wouldn't recommend that people change their coffee-drinking habits based on this study," said Kathryn M. Wilson, a research fellow in epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, and lead author of one report. "But if you like coffee, there is no compelling reason to cut back at this point."
Her data on the nearly 50,000 men in the study showed how common a diagnosis of prostate cancer has become since widespread screening began. In the 20 years from 1986 to 2006, 4,975 cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed, affecting just about 10 percent of the men in the study.
But only 846 of those cancers were life-threatening, because they had spread beyond the prostate gland or were growing aggressively, Wilson said. And while the study found just a weak relationship between consumption of six or more cups of coffee a day and a reduced risk of all forms of prostate cancer (down about 19 percent), the reduction for the aggressive form was much more marked -- 41 percent.
And there was a clear relationship between the amount of coffee consumed and prostate cancer risk, Wilson said: "The more coffee you drank, the more effect we saw."
The caffeine in coffee doesn't seem to be the link, since the same reduction was seen for consumption of decaffeinated coffee, she said. Instead, "it has something to do with insulin and glucose metabolism," Wilson said. "A number of studies have found that coffee is associated with a reduced risk of diabetes."
This study is just a starting point for establishing a relationship between coffee and prostate cancer, Wilson stressed. "At this point, we would just like to confirm whether it exists in different populations," she said. "We hope that this study drives more research so that we really know what is going on."
The other study, by Stacey A. Kenfield, a research associate at the Harvard School of Public Health, looked at the levels of physical activity among 2,686 men in the study who were diagnosed with prostate cancer. It found, as many other studies have, that exercise is good for overall health, with a 35 percent lower death rate for men who reported three or more hours a week of vigorous physical activity, such as jogging, biking, swimming or playing tennis.
And the death rate from prostate cancer for men who exercised vigorously was 12 percent lower than for those who didn't -- a figure that did not quite reach the level of statistical significance because the numbers were small, Kenfield explained.
Nevertheless, "this is the first study to show an effect of physical activity not only on overall survival, but on prostate cancer survival," she said.
It's already well known how physical activity reduces overall mortality, Kenfield said. "It affects immune function and reduces inflammation, among the major processes involved. But it's not clear yet how it is related to prostate cancer and survival."

Make-up tips for the bride
the best appearance on the Woman D-day, right? When an extra-natural look gets a bit boring for the occasion, a caked-up face takes away the charm. What’s actually required to get that ‘getting married’ glow is a perfect blend of the two, we tell you how ...
Remember, less is more for the brides this season!
Shocking, but true. Majority of the brides want to appear as natural as possible for their D-day. Rather than layering up loads of foundations and creams they want to highlight the best of their features. Shalini Jha who is awaiting her wedding says, “I know the photos at my wedding can really wash me out so I’ll make sure my look is blended properly at the same time intensifies my eyes and lips. My goal is to enhance my beauty rather than appear a total stranger or an over-worked queen. I am going to use lots of neutral shades so that it doesn’t clash with my already dazzling ensemble.”
It’s time to experiment
Brides-to-be are even using combination of colours to compliment their outfits. “Brides don’t mind their features being enhanced. They are going for green eyes and copper hued lips these days. And no heavy make-up for them now. They work more on their eyes and lips. We know it’s hard to kick the glitter habits especially for the brides but don’t go overboard on your big day. Go for a softer and natural base for their face. Apple of the cheeks should not shine garishly. For that you can go for matte effect with less shimmer and a milder base. If you have Priyanka Chopra’s skin tone go for the matte effect because dusky girls look better in it, says Meenakshi Dutt, a leading make-up artist.
“Matte is also good for photography angle as it is simple and without much of glitter. Pictures do come out well with matte make-up. Caky look is avoided by the brides these days as their dresses are anyways too catchy. Matte based powdered make-up is also a huge help in contouring a bride’s face,” says Meenakshi Dutt.
Make-up artist Shalini Vashisht says, “By and large what makes a bride is her natural glow. Skin should be able to breathe. Fair girls can use peach pink tones while wheatish should go for earthy tones. The way a bride looks in photographs is also important so a matte finish is advised. A powdered base foundation gives a subdued look to the bride. So keep the gloss just to the lips and the eyes.”
Fashionable and aware
Another aspect where brides are trying to experiment is their wedding ensembles. They are ditching the usual reds and maroons to try out some trendy colours and styles. Ritu Kumar thinks that the new brides are getting choosy and classical as far as their wedding costume goes. “They are going for earthy vegetable colours for an evening wedding and pastels for the day. The trend seems a lessening of bling and more sophisticated and sober styles are coming up. This year the theme seems to be traditional Rajasthani with a twist to the blouses which are more sexy. As far as variation in colours go it’s getting burgundies instead of pink. Brides are very conscious of their look today.”
With weddings and the bride becoming more fanciful, girls are making an earnest effort to look simple yet enigmatic for their most awaited day.

Green Tea Weight Loss Facts
The high level of EGCG catechins in green tea increases your metabolism, which increases your energy level and fat burning ability. The EGCG catechins also help block fat absorption by your body. In fact, the Chinese have been using green tea for over 3,000 years to maintain and lose weight.
These EGCG antioxidants also boost your immune system, which helps protect you from diseases, as well as improving your skin and slowing the aging process.
While consuming 4 cups of green tea a day is helpful, consuming a green tea weight loss supplement that has a high level of green tea extract has been proven to be the most effective route for losing weight and suppressing your appetite.
