Cholesterol-Lowering Diet



From Jennifer Moll, your Guide to Cholesterol
There's been a lot of news lately about the benefits of adding fiber to your diet -- with good reason. Adding fiber to your diet has many healthy advantages, such as improving your digestive health and making you feel fuller after meals. Another added benefit is that high fiber foods are also heart-friendly foods.

Do All Types of Fiber Lower Cholesterol?
Eating high fiber foods has been a very popular topic in the news. But what you may not know is that there are two main types of fiber: insoluble fiber and soluble fiber. One of these types can help lower your cholesterol, whereas the other type of fiber has other healthy benefits.

How Much Fiber Do You Need to Eat Each Day?
Studies have shown that consuming certain types of fiber can help you to slightly lower your cholesterol. There are certain dietary recommendations in place that ensure you get plenty of fiber in your diet -- without overdoing it.

Sources Of Soluble Fiber For Lowering Your Cholesterol
Including foods high in soluble fiber can play an important role in lowering cholesterol and reducing your risk of heart disease. While there are many foods -- especially fruits and vegetables -- that contain fiber, some foods contain a higher amount of soluble fiber than other foods.

Can I Use Fiber Supplements to Lower My Cholesterol?
In some cases, you might feel that it's impossible to get all of the fiber you need in a day. This is when fiber supplements -- much like the ones you see on the digestive health aisle of the grocery store or pharmacy -- may seem tempting to take. But do they really work as well as consuming fiber-rich foods?

Poses & Workouts



From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga
By popular demand and just in time for the Tour de France, here is a yoga routine by cyclists.

Yoga for Cyclists
Cyclists often experience tightness in the major muscle groups used in riding a bike: the calves, quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, hips, shoulders, and neck are particularly in need of regular stretching. This short series of yoga poses is designed for the recreational cyclist and intermediate yogi.

Yoga Props Illustrated
It's useful to have a few yoga props handy so you can adjust this sequence to fit your flexibility. Don't worry if you don't have "official" props. A belt works just as well as a yoga strap, and storage boxes can stand in for blocks.

Prana Wanderlust Contest
Are you lusting after a trip to Wanderlust yoga and music festival? Wanderlust 2010 is happening July 29-August 1 in Squaw Valley, California. The yoga line-up includes Shiva Rea, Baron Baptiste, Seane Corn, Duncan Wong and Elena Brower, while Moby will be headlining the musical acts. Lucky for all you procrastinators, yoga wear company Prana is having a great contest where you can will a trip for two to the festival, including airfare and lodging. Get yourself to the contest details!

Pose of the Week Crow Pose - Bakasana
Crow pose is usually the first arm balance that yoga students learn. It can also be the start of a yoga home practice. If you've set your sights on crow pose, my advice is to try the pose every day at home. Consistency is important here, as is freeing yourself from the potential embarrassment of falling. Warm up with a few sun salutations and then work on your crow. You never know, the habit of doing yoga at home just might stick.
