i need to tell myself this every day!
What is up with the different kinds of bread?
The bread section of a store can be overwhelming because there are TONS of options to choose from! How can you pick your bread? Learn a bit about the different types mentioned below:
White bread: White bread is made from wheat flour, however the germ and bran are removed, leaving the endosperm. When the germ and bran are removed, fiber, vitamins B6 and E, magnesium, zinc, folic acid and chromium are all also lost. White bread is a lot less nutritious than whole wheat options due to the loss of these nutrients. Even though white bread is enriched, it does not contain nearly as many nutrients as orignial wheat bread does. According to Vegetarian Times, “theres so little fiber left after processing that youd have to eat eight pieces of white bread to get the fiber in just one piece of whole wheat bread.”
Wheat Bread: Wheat bread is not the same as whole-wheat because it could have been refined and lost many of its nutrients.
Whole Wheat Bread: Whole wheat is one kind of whole grain, so all whole wheat is whole grain, but not all whole grain is whole wheat.
Multi-Grain Bread: Mutli-grain bread is not necessarily healthy. While it may use different grains, they could be refined grains so it is not as healthy a choice as a 100% whole wheat/grain option would be. Check the ingredients to see which grains have been used in it.
Whole Grain Bread: Whole grain bread is made from whole wheat flour and it is processed including the endosperm, bran, and germ. Since it includes all of them, it contains more fiber, vitamins B6 and E, magnesium, zinc, folic acid and chromium and therefore is a more healthful option.
Sprouted Bread: Sprouted grain bread has a few advantages over whole wheat bread.Sprouted-grain bread is made from wheat kernels that have been sprouted, grounded and baked into bread. This process retains more of the nutrients. Many sprouted grain breads contain legumes and a variety of healthy grains, providing a wider variety of nutrients and amino acids. Sprouted grains have also been said to be easier to digest than whole grains.
How to tell if it is vegan?
Unfortunately many brands are not! Breads often contain eggs, milk, honey, or other non vegan ingredients. While you could look through all of the ingredients or google to see if a brand is vegan, my favorite tool is an app called ‘Is It Vegan?’. I just recently discovered this app and it is amazing! You simply scan the barcode and it tells you which ingredients are/are not vegan! It is so helpful and perfect on the go tool for when you are shopping!
How to tell if bread is healthy?
The color and the name of the bread used to be a good determinant in whether bread was healthy, however it is not so true anymore. It is best to do some research on breads ahead of time to pick out a good one! My favorite is Ezekiel bread! You should definitely check the ingredients of the bread before buying it- many breads may say whole wheat but have enriched flour as one of the primary ingredients. Look for whole wheat or whole-grain flour listed first on the product’s ingredient list. Make sure that your bread or bread product says it is 100% whole wheat or 100% whole grain rather than just “wheat bread” or “multigrain bread”. So be careful and select a good brand for you! Another option would be to cook your own bread! There are tons of recipes out there so take a look!
For the Operation Health New Years Challenge - we encourage you to choose healthy options when you are buying bread! It is a simple change you can make in your diet and it will make a difference!

Running Tips:
Wear spandex shorts under your regular running shorts so you don’t chafe
Cotton socks will only lead to blisters; invest in socks designed for running.
Join your local running club—check with your local running store fitness center and/or recreation department to find one
Find a committed running partner. It is much harder to skip a run when you have someone else depending on you
Remember that- It gets easier.
Accept and appreciate the fact that not every single run can be a good one
Do not compare yourself to others. Run within yourself and for yourself first.
Even a bad run is better then no run at all
If you normally run with music try skipping it and listening to your feet to hear your pace and your gait
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t experience weight loss immediately
Start a running blog, to see your progress and set goals
Hydrate. Make it a habit to drink water throughout the day
On long runs eat something every hour—whether you feel like it or not
During longer runs if you don’t like to carry water take some cash in your pocket pouch or a shoe wallet. Run a route where there’s a corner store that you can use as a pit stop to pick up your water and maybe use the bathroom
To aid recovery the most crucial time to eat and drink is in the hour immediately after you run
Use Vaseline or BodyGlide wherever things rub. They will help prevent blisters and chafing
Do not increase your mileage more than 10 percent per week
If you are prone to shin splints and lower leg pain try running soft trails for your Training runs and save the asphalt for race day
Do not run two hard days back-to-back
Ice aches and pains immediately
Pay attention to your form. Try to run lightly to minimize impact that could lead to injury
When running don’t forget the bug spray, sunscreen and a hat- BIG TIME!
Neosporin (or another antibiotic cream) is good for chafed areas
Make sure you cut your toenails short enough so they don’t jam into your Shoes
Be careful about running on paths that force you to run consistently on a slant. It’s hard on the hips knees
Don’t stretch before a run. Warm up by walking briskly or jogging slowly for several minutes
Do not ice for more than 20 minutes at a time
For beginners, set mini goals to keep you motivated. (Can be minutes [run 5, walk 10], run between street lights then walk between street lights, run till the next bus stop, until you pass a car on the street)
Do not use the hot tub after a race. It will increase inflammation and hinder healing
Be aware of cyclists approaching you from behind and try to keep to the right. Try to pay special attention when running with music
Run facing traffic.
Never assume a car sees you
Doubleknot your shoe laces so they will not come undone when you run\
If you listen to music, put earbuds in the go inside your ear, if you are usuing the ones that sit in your ear, it will fall out
Buy yourself some actual running shoes from an actual running store because running in junk “sneakers” will destroy your feet and your legs
At first keep your runs short and slow to avoid injury and soreness so you do not quit.
If you are breathing too hard slow down or walk a bit until you feel comfortable again
Pick your route close to home (out your front door)—the more convenient it is the better chance you will have sticking with it.
Set realistic short term and long term goals
Remember Soreness one to two days after a run is normal (delayed onset muscle soreness).
There’s no shame in walking
Four laps around the local the high school track equals one mile
Vary your training routes. This will prevent boredom and prevent your body from getting acclimated
Push through rough spots by focusing on the sounds of your breath and feet touching the ground
Do abdominal breathing to get rid of side cramps
Run on trails if at all possible. It will be easier on your body and you’ll love it
Dress as if it is 10 degrees warmer than the temperature on the thermometer
Run early in the morning or later in evening to avoid mid-day heat
To keep cool in hot weather soak a bandana in cold water wring it out a bit and tie it loosely around your neck
In the winter dress in layers (coolmax or other technical clothing) and wear a headband over your running hat to cover your ears
These are SO helpful! I’ve finally started running and these tips will help me and get me more motivated! (: follow: http://health-freeak.tumblr.com/
