Chapter 1: Improved Women’s Well-being

Defining Your Self-Image

All women have an idea of the way they look, but this image is not always realistic. Sometimes, they are too hard on themselves (seeing only the incipient double chin and ignoring the neat ankles), while at other times, they may try self-deception (picking clothes that are too small because they refuse to admit, they have put o weight). They can all benefit from taking a fresh look at their self-image, and by being as realistic about it as possible.

Taking Stock: Your Shape

Start by standing naked in front of a mirror and examining your reflection, both front view and sideways on. Don’t pull in your stomach, or clench your buttocks, or try to flatter yourself in other ways. Decide what you really think about your body, at your skin, muscles, hair and nails. Perform the pinch test and then weigh yourself.
Make a note of all your findings, and of all the assumptions you have about yourself and your body – the good points as well as the bad. Decide which parts of yourself you can and want to change, which parts you must accept as they are, and which you like and want to emphasize.

Distinguish carefully between imperfections you can work on and those you must accept. No amount of dieting and exercise can change your basic inherited body type – but excess weight, bad posture, and lack of fitness have nothing to do with body type!

Pinch Test

How easy is it for you to pinch a roll of flesh on your upper arm, inside thigh, midriff, or buttocks? Stand upright when you do the test and use your thumb and forefinger to make the pinch. If you can painlessly pinch more than 2.5 cm of flesh in these areas, you are overweight.

Taking Charge

Self assessment is the first step in taking charge of your well-being. Once you have peeled away the myths and found a realistic self image, you can set yourself definite goals for self-improvement. The way you look, the way you feel, and what you ultimately achieve all depend on you. Once you have set your goals, start working toward them right away.

Desirable Weights

This table gives you a guide to the desirable weight for your height and a build. Measuring the circumference of your wrist will give you an indication of your build. If it is 13.9 cm or less, you have a small frame; if it’s over 13.9 cm but less than 16.5 cm, you have a medium frame; if it is 16.5 cm or over, you have a large frame. Measure your height without shoes and weigh yourself without clothes.

Chapter 2: Healthy Eating

You need to eat a varied diet that includes all the different food types. They recommend that you cut down on sugar, refined foods, and animal fats, replacing them with more fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grain cereals, and unsaturated fats.

Buying and Preparing Your Food

1) Always choose ingredients that look and smell fresh.

2) Fruit and vegetables should not be wilted or discolored. Cracked or wilted vegetable leaves indicate a mineral deficiency in the plant: avoid them as they will not provide you with the necessary minerals.

3) Cut down on red meat, eat white meat and fish instead.

4) Choose brown rice, whole wheat bread, whole wheat flour, and whole wheat pasta in preference to their white equivalents.

5) Whenever possible, eat fruit and vegetables raw.

6) If you boil vegetables, a lot of the vitamins will be destroyed. Some of the vitamins will pass into the cooking liquid, so keep it to use as stock.

Try to eat at least one salad a day.

7) Steam fish instead of deep frying.

8) Cook foods without adding fat wherever possible, i.e. boil, bake, steam, or grill instead of frying.

9) Replace foods high in fat with a low-fat alternative, e.g. use plain yoghurt instead of cream.

Vegetarianism

A properly planned vegetarian diet is high in fiber and low in saturated fats. In order to be sure of getting all the essential amino acids they need, vegetarians must plan their meals carefully, mixing incomplete proteins with carbohydrates to give the necessary balance. Vegetarians and vegans include a lot of seeds – sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, etc – in their diet, as these are high in minerals, vitamins and protein.

Additives

Whether or not you eat a certain food depends to a large extent on its eye appeal. Many manufacturers use additives – emulsifiers, stabilizers, artificial colorings, flavorings, preservatives, and so forth – to give processed foods eye appeal. No one yet knows the long term effects of these additives on our health, but there is some evidence that links them to allergies, hyperactivity in children, and similar problems. Some countries have banned some additives altogether, although they are still permitted in other parts of the world. No additives are necessary in a healthy diet, so you will not come to any harm by omitting them entirely from your diet.

Caffeine

Coffee, tea, cocoa, and certain soft drinks all contain the drug caffeine. It is a stimulant, and in excess can cause restlessness, sleeplessness and palpitations. It is also a diuretic, i.e. it increases the flow of urine from the kidneys. Some people become emotionally dependent on caffeine. Experts recommend that we limit our caffeine intake and that we drink fewer than five cups of coffee a day (or their equivalent in other caffeine drinks). Try changing to decaffeinated coffee or a cereal-based coffee substitute, or choose from a wide range of herbal teas.

In recent years experts have pinpointed four factors in Western diet that seem to have a direct – and often adverse – effect on health: too much salt, too much sugar, too much fat (especially saturated fat), and too little dietary fiber.

Dietary Fiber

This is the indigestible cellulose found in fruits, vegetables, and unrefined cereals. Fiber is essential in a healthy diet, even though it passes through the gut virtually undigested. The digestive system uses the undigested fiber to remove toxic substances from the body quickly, before they can pass into the bloodstream. Diets high in fiber help to produce soft, bulky, and easily evacuated stools. Cooking vegetables and fruit tends to break down the cellulose in the plant cells, so they are better eaten raw whenever possible. Refining and processing also removes fiber, e.g. whole wheat flour and brown rice have higher fiber contents than their refined white equivalents.

Fats

Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is found in the blood. The body needs some cholesterol, but if the level becomes too high, fatty deposits can form on the walls of arteries, reducing their efficiency. Reducing the amount of fat in your diet will help to reduce the level of cholesterol in your blood. Diets high in fat are also a major cause of overweight: keeping down the fat level will help you keep your weight down. As well as reducing the overall level of fat in your diet, experts recommend replacing saturated fats and foods high in saturated fats with unsaturated fats as far as possible.

Salt

Salt occurs naturally in many foods. It is essential to life, but the daily body requirement is very small – just over one hundredth of an ounce. It is widely thought that too much salt in the diet may be a contributory factor in hypertension, strokes, and coronary disease in general. A great deal of salt is still used in the canning and curing industries, so check the labels on all packets and cans before adding more salt to processed foods. In fact, if you add salt to your cooking you may end up eating 30 times as much salt each day as your body actually needs.

Sugar

Refined sugars (whether white or brown) and refined sugar products are unnecessary in a
