I am thinking of buying time release vitamins. Are they helpful?

No, time release vitamins are ideal for people who are forgetful, not compliant and ill. The time release vitamins once absorbed release a small amount of the vitamin over the course of 24 hours. However, these vitamins are many times more expensive and are of no practical use. If you are too lazy to take your vitamins, then you certainly are too lazy to exercise. For you the problem is not a time release vitamin but a kick up the backside.

Are whole grains good for health?

There is no doubt that whole grains are great for health because they contain many vitamins, minerals and fibers. You can eat cereal, whole grain bread, brown rice, bulgur, whole wheat pasta and so on. You can even add fruits to this diet. Unfortunately whole grains are not very appetizing or palatable. After a week of whole grains the food does become dull and monotonous. So the best method is to eat a little of the processed foods at the same time or take a break from whole grains every once in a while. If you are trying to lose weight, then you also need to eat less and start walking more.

Can I lose weight by drinking more water?

Well, many people seem to think that by drinking more water it can help get rid of the excess fat. This is a myth. If you drink water instead of the cola beverages, you do save a lot of calories. But if you continue to supersize your foods and do not exercise, drinking more water does not do anything. The only way you can lose weight by drinking water is if you do not eat anything else. This way you will lose weight within a week, but you will also end up in hospital completely dehydrated. Upon discharge you will also be faced with an enormous medical bill. If you want to lose weight, start to eat less and walk more.
