This blog is intended for those who walk less than 4 Km a day. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American College of Sports Medicine and the Surgeon General recommend that at least 30 minutes of brisk physical exercise is good for your health and walking is one of the easiest forms of exercise to get.
Walk because:
Better Heart health – Brisk walking strengthens your heart, improves your circulation, and lowers your blood pressure. A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine evaluated 73,743 postmenopausal women enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study and found that women who walked briskly 2.5 hours every week reduced their chance of heart disease by 30 percent.
Improved bone mass - As a weight-bearing exercise, walking can stop some of the bone loss of osteoporosis and may slow down arthritis.
Helps in weight loss – A regular walking workout burns calories. If you walk 4 Km four times a week, you can walk off about a 1 Kg of fat every month. Weight loss combined with a healthy diet can also decrease your risk of type 2 diabetes.

We love our family. We earn for our family. We cook for our family. We should EAT one meal with our family daily.
A family that eats at least one meal together has many health benefits to it:
Improves Family Bond - Sitting and sharing a meal increases love and respect for the family.
Meals are Nutritious – Home cooked meals for whole family are healthier as are less in oil, salt and spices.
Encourages Healthy Habits - sharing and eating a common meal at the table encourages eating healthier foods especially by children.
DesiDieter experts preach “Encourage Your Children To EAT With YOU.”
According to diet expert Tina Khanna, Children and teenagers who eat meals together with their family:
Eat more fruits and vegetables when they grow up
Also, studies indicate that children do better in school when they eat more meals with their parents and family.
DesiDieter Dietitian Sweta propagates “Say NO to EATING in FRONT of TV!”. Eating dinner or snacking in front of the TV is linked to overeating. When you’re distracted, you’re not mindful of the meal you are eating, causing you to eat more without realizing it or really enjoying your food.

Thanksgiving will be celebrated on Thursday, November 24, 2011.
Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Thanksgiving is celebrated each year on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Because of the longstanding traditions of the holiday, the celebration often extends to the weekend that falls closest to the day it is celebrated. It is primarily recognition of harvest and praising good fortune for the year.
The centerpiece of contemporary Thanksgiving in the United States and Canada is a large meal, generally centered on a large roasted turkey. The majority of the dishes in the traditional American version of Thanksgiving dinner are made from foods native to the New World, as according to tradition the Pilgrims received these foods from the Native Americans. However, many of the classic traditions attributed to the first Thanksgiving are actually myths introduced later.
