Cow's milk contains 4-5% lactose, whereas human milk contains almost twice that amount.

COULD A SLIM, HEALTHIER YOU, BE JUST A TICK AWAY ? ? ?

COULD A SLIM, HEALTHIER YOU, BE JUST A TICK AWAY ? ? ?
read on .........As your holiday approaches do you hear yourself saying "I really must lose some weight before I go on holiday", or during your holiday as you over indulge (and why not? After all, you are on holiday) do you hear yourself saying once again "I really must go on a diet after my holiday".Yes, we have all been there! We mean to diet before holidays, after holidays, before Christmas, after Christmas, and so on ... and isn't it funny how we are so full of good intentions at the time when we are so full after finishing off that box of chocolates we couldn't resist opening. It's always the same old story, we only mean to eat just one chocolate, our favourite, and then, as if by magic, the whole box is suddenly empty.

Develop a few good habits before Thanksgiving and you're likely to start 2005 weighing no more than you did before, maybe even less. Here are 5 tips that will help you through the holidays.1. Set a mental limit now on the food items that are your biggest temptation. Cookies? Make 2 your limit at every holiday affair. Chocolate? Two pieces will probably satisfy your sweet tooth, especially if you eat them slowly, not in one bite.

If it will make you feel better, remember that dark chocolate has some beneficial nutrients such as antioxidants and magnesium. If eggnog or other alcoholic drink makes you put on pounds, always ask the host for the smallest glass, and nurse it slowly. It will be easier if you tell yourself that it's only until the holidays are over. (By then it might have become a good...
