Some philosophers say the most important love muscle is the brain. We at 'Roc Angels beg to differ.

Mammogram

This test finds breast cancer in its early stages, when it’s most treatable. The following  information will help guide you and prepare you for what you'll need to know to get ready.

It’s natural to feel nervous about having a mammogram. But, remember that this is something you’re doing to take care of yourself.

What it is

A mammogram is an X-ray of your breasts. It’s used to get a clear picture of your breast tissue, in order to check for any areas of concern. Only 2 to 4 screening mammograms out of every 1,000 lead to a diagnosis of breast cancer.

The quest to improve the American diet has a new icon. In June 2011, First Lady Michelle Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack unveiled the MyPlate icon. MyPlate replaced the previous MyPyramid image as the tool to help Americans make healthier food choices. The goal is to get people to think about building a healthy plate at meal times.

Along with the types of food you digest, we believe that keeping an eye on how much you eat is important, as well. Portion control is as equally important, when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Weigh and Measure Your Food

Many people have trouble estimating portion sizes. Weighing and measuring food can help. 'Roc Angels can’t be healthy by eating everything put in front of them. Weighing and measuring meals teaches us appropriate portion sizes.

Use Visual Aids

How much is a portion, anyway? It's hard to tell in this era of super sized foods. Twenty years ago, the average blueberry muffin was 1.5 ounces and consisted of 210 calories. Today, most muffins are 5 ounces and 500 calories. A bagel used to be 3 inches and 140 calories. Today bagels are 6 inches and pack 350 calories or more.

Use a food scale wherever possible. When eating out, you can estimate serving sizes by comparing them to familiar objects. For example, one cup is about the size of a tennis ball, One serving of meat, which is about 3 ounces, should be the size of a deck of playing cards. A serving of cooked rice, pasta or cereal should equal the size of a small computer mouse.

You've worked very hard to get your body right for summer and you were very proud to show off your achievements. Or maybe you didn't quite accomplish your goal for that summer body and you're looking forward to next summer. Either way, dont fall behind schedule, as we head into fall and winter seasons.

During winter our level of activity is generally reduced, our diets change and even the amount of water we drink decreases. We tend to search out more comfort foods such as desserts and unhealthy snacks, thus risking weight gain.

All it takes to combat the winter weight gain is attention to detail and some indoor activity to help keep you fit. By keeping these helpful pointers in mind, you’ll be beach-ready even before the spring season strikes.

Keep Up Metabolism

One effect of cold weather is that our metabolism is decreased, therefore reducing the amount of calories we naturally burn. So, even when there is no real change in the amounts we eat, it is still easier to gain weight during colder months.
