Dumping pasta and bread from your diet could help relieve indigestion, according to a new study from the University of North Carolina. Scientists report that within four days of initiating a low-carb diet, patients experienced a 44% reduction in the severity of heartburn. What’s more, the painful acid in each subject’s esophagus decreased by 60%.
Carrots
Vitamin A content means the old-wives’ tale about seeing in the dark is just about true. Potassium helps regulate your body’s fluid levels. Small and young carrots are sweetest and most nutritious.
Pears
Lots of fibre in the skin is good for digestion. Contains pectin to help the body eliminate cholesterol. One pair provides 11% of your body’s daily vitamin C intake.

If you want to control your waistline and eat your way to better health, here are 10 things you need to do—starting today.
1 PRETEND YOU’RE A TAILOR.
Measure everything—your neck, chest, waist, arms, thighs, calves. Write it all down, and put it someplace where you’ll have to look at it every day. Record your weight, too, although that’s less important.
Your goal: Maintain or reduce the size of your waist while increasing the size of everything else. Repeat your measurements every 4 weeks.
Start your day with breakfast.
Breakfast fills your “empty tank” to get you going after a long night without food. And it can help you do better in school. Easy to prepare breakfasts include cold cereal with fruit and low-fat milk, whole-wheat toast with peanut butter, yogurt with fruit, whole-grain waffles or even last night’s pizza!
The exercises that burn fat
Switching to circuit training burns fat by upping the pace of your workout. Want to speed up your metabolism even more? Try splicing your aerobic exercises into a circuit of resistance-training moves. The tag team of aerobic and anaerobic exercise increases the challenge on your heart, lungs and muscles and you’ll burn even more calories.
