Dairy Free Diet, No More Crying Over Spilled Milk

You may wish to consider adopting a dairy free diet if you are struggling with acne, arthritis, irritable bowel, asthma, eczema, autism, ADHD, sinus or respiratory infections.
Emed explores the world of dairy free and finds that avoiding dairy to improve your health may be easier than you think.

Portion Control – Size Really Matters
It is no secret that portion sizes, as well as waistlines are expanding.
While eating good quality food is very important, the amount you eat matters, as well.
Restaurant meals of all kinds have gotten larger with an emphasis on getting more food for the money.
However, the rise of portion sizes is not limited to restaurants alone. Even those who do not frequent restaurants are confronted with large portion sizes of prepackaged or convenience foods.
Portion control is a continuing battle for many people.
You don't need to memorize a food list or carry around measuring cups to get a better handle on serving sizes.
Instead, use common visual cues to remind yourself of appropriate serving sizes.
