Get Thinner By Eating 9 Times A Day!

Eating little and often is healthier than the traditional meals three times a day

eat often

Frequent eating helps to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol and even melt the pounds

British scientists have found that eating little and often is healthier than the traditional meals three times a day, report from Daily Mail. The experts advise people to eat nine times a day.
Frequent eating helps to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol and even melt the pounds, say the researchers.
The separation of food intake in such a way that we could eat many times a day has beneficial effects on metabolism, compared to the same food consumed in fewer meals, said the leader of the research Dr. Susan Jebb.
In a recent study, researchers from Imperial College London, compared the diets of more than 2000 people from Britain, Japan, China and USA. Although they received the same amount of calories and food, half of the participants ate less than six times a day and the rest – more than six times a day.
The results showed that the first group had significantly higher systolic blood pressure (the pressure that blood has on blood vessels when the heart beats) than the people who ate more often. Participants in the first group were also significantly more comprehensive.
The Imperial College study supports previous studies advised to give up the idea to stick to three meals a day – breakfast, lunch and dinner. For example, scientists at the University of Athens made a study with more than 2000 children between the age of 9 and 13. The study showed that the children who ate five times a day reduced by 32.6% the risk of having high levels of bad cholesterol in comparison with their peers who ate at least twice a day.
It is unclear why eating more often has this positive impact, but according to one theory, frequent meals prevent high inflow of fatty acids, substances that are released from food and can lead to accumulation of fat in the arteries and contribute to high cholesterol levels.

Bosses Actually Suffer Less From Stress

We believe that the leaders are under more pressure and stress but that is not true

Team leaders are stressed to a lesser extent than the others

We believe that leaders are under more stress due to the responsibilities of the positions they occupy, but a new study from Harvard University refutes this.
Of the questionnaires lists of 148 managers and 65 line workers it was shown that the team leaders are stressed to a lesser extent than the others, which according to experts is probably due to their better ability to control themselves. Stress levels were measured through laboratory testing levels of the stress hormone cortisol, found in saliva.
The feeling that you can influence the events helps prevent the bad effects of stress. The more a person is able to control the way he/she thinks, the less he/she will suffer from stress. In fact, bosses have much more freedom on when to leave from work, or when to go for lunch and they from their own tasks and priorities for the day.
This does not mean that workers are helpless. They also have methods to manage with stress, which must be applied for the following symptoms: increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, illness, sleep problems and cynical attitude to work.
Techniques such as deep breathing, meditation and regular physical activity have been shown to be effective for relieving the tension. Sharing and social contacts, meeting nice people, certainly has a favorable effect on self-esteem. It is recommended that if the stress becomes bigger and bigger the person should study a technique which will teach them how to change their way of thinking about the realities of the job. While decades ago one could be sued for shooting a model of their superior manager, today it is even recommended as a method of stress management.
Another important component to the stress test is whether the employee likes his job. When you take pleasure in what you do, no matter how much you are charged with and what your limits and deadlines are you will not feel stress, says Paul Spector, Professor of Psychology at the University of South Florida in Tampa, USA.
