Smoking is harmful! You may know an adult who smokes on a regular basis.
Show your friend or relative through your actions and words that you love them. Give him or her the message that you care about their health.
Ask about their smoking history. When did they start? What got them started? Have they tried to quit before and how? Be tactful. It will help if you understand how difficult or how easy it might be for them to quit, and do they really want to. Many smokers are ready to consider quitting.
Be aware of and research techniques for quitting smoking. Ask them how they feel about chewing nicotine gum or a lozenge instead of smoking cigarette.
Offer to buy the first batch yourself, if the response is positive, or if they have expressed interest in quitting! Just surprise them to give nicotine chewing gum as a gift.
Be encouraging and positive. Always tell them they can do it.
Do research on the harmful effects of smoking and some of the ingredients.
After learning about cigarettes and smoking, confront this person and share the information.
Get someone else that cares about them to help.
Introduce him or her to a new friend or hobby you think they can enjoy instead of cigarettes.
Tell them that they might have to try quitting several times until they are successful.
Tell them the dangers of smoking-it contains rat poison and hydrogen cyanide.
Tell them that it will make them look older and give them a series of strokes of they don't stop.
Be prepared for the long haul, as much as they may want to quit, nicotine addiction can be hard to overcome. Many attempts may be necessary! Stay positive and supportive.
Always keep in mind that it is a life choice that your friend or relative have made. Smoking is an addiction and may be very difficult for one to give it up completely.
Some smokers just simply don't want to quit, and in some cases its unfair to keep pushing them.
If you breathe in the smoke, you will actually be worse than the smoker.
Just walking into a smoke-filled room for 30 seconds can damage your arteries.

How to Cook a Ham
This is a simple method which will ensure the most juicy cold ham imaginable.
Soak the ham for about 12 hours in cold water, then drain.
Put the ham into a saucepan and cover with cold water.
Bring to the boil and simmer gently, allowing 20 minutes per lb (45 mins per kilo).
Top up with boiling water as necessary so that the ham stays covered during cooking.
Remove the skin and trim the fat neatly.
If the ham is to be eaten hot, then sprinkle with brown sugar and serve.
If the ham is to be eaten cold, then after skinning, return to the pan to cool in the water as this will ensure that the joint stays moist and succulent.

Avoid the Temptation to Eat Unhealthy Foods
Are you trying to avoid eating unhealthy foods but can't fight the cravings? Some foods are just addictions, so breaking them are difficult. Here is a good starting place to put you on the yellow brick road to healthy eating .
Identify your craving. You might be hungry just because you are bored, you have an addiction to food, or your body lacks something it needs.
* Chocolate- Magnesium; women should be careful, during menstruation, magnesium levels drop. Instead try fruits, nuts, or vitamin/mineral supplements
* Sugar/ Simple Carbohydrates - Protein & complex carbohydrates. A little science lesson: Carbohydrates break down into sugars. Sugar is a very fast metabolized molecule so its not a good source of long term energy. Your best sources of energy are protein and complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates come from unprocessed grains.
* Fried food- Calcium/ OMEGA 3 Fatty Acids; This is good fat! Try eating more fish, or check your grocery store for milk, cheese, or eggs, that contain theses fats plus they have calcium (they will say they do)
* Salt- Dehydration/ Vit B/ Chloride. This one is a bit harder because it could also be due to stress which could lead to Vit B deficient. When you want something salty try to drink a glass of water and relax.
Remove the rituals You don't need dessert after dinner. You don't need the candy at the movies. You don't need a donut with your coffee. Before theses rituals try to be prepared with a healthy alternative.
Remove temptations.Just get rid of it, and to keep yourself from buying more never go to the grocery store hungry. When you don't have anything to eat except healthy food, going out of your way for a candy bar will be too much work
Avoid Boredom + Food. There is a lot more to do than eat.
H2O Drink it, its good. The water intake recommended does NOT include the water you receive from food. If you feel thirsty, this means you are already dehydrated - and dehydration can often be confused with hunger.
Most of us need to lower our cholesterol levels to remain healthy or become healthy. To do that we need to understand the foods we eat and which ones affect our cholesterol but we also have to understand weight, exercise, and genetics and how all of these elements are part of our overall health.
Eat your meals slowly, with other people, and at a table made to hold a plate and have chairs around it.
There are many other things you can do instead of snacking. A short list includes: read the paper, watch a ball game, draw a picture, cut the lawn, plant some flowers, drink a cup of tea, call a friend, take a walk, groom your dog, watch a sitcom, learn a foreign language, do a dance routine, read a book, or research something. So get up off your lazy rear!
"Nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels"
Start slowly, its easier to stick to.
Eating healthy is a lifestyle, not a quick fix to a problem
Eating disorders affect 15% of young woman and men. This number is on the increase. They are very harmful. The most common are Anorexia Nervous and Bulimia Nervous. Anorexia Nervous is when you do not allow yourself to eat or when you induce vomiting, take laxatives or exercise excessively in order to lose weight, causing the body to starve. Bulimia is characterised by binge-purge behavior- you consume large amounts of food seemingly uncontrollably, but force yourself to vomit or take laxatives, exercise or fast (purge) in order not to gain weight from binges. Both can kill you, so always consume food sensibly. If you really want to stay healthy, the best thing to do is eat good food with nutritional value. If you suspect you have an eating disorder, seek professional help immediately.
"In Moderation" does not work for everyone. Some foods trigger people, and just like an alcoholic cannot have just one glass of wine, a sugarholic cannot have just one piece of candy. It is better to eliminate the foods you binge on or find a good substitute for them. That way you can eat normal portions of healthy food, instead of craving and eating bad junk.
