Try these high protein breakfast recipes with milk to power your day (Family Features) Everyone knows breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but the chaos of trying to get the whole family ready in the morning can sometimes make it fall by the wayside. That’s why it’s important to have quick, easy and nutritious breakfast ideas and recipes on hand, especially ones even picky eaters will enjoy. Eating a breakfast with enough protein can help start the day off right with energy and focus. Many experts now recommend getting 25-30 grams at every meal, including breakfast. However, a typical breakfast only contains an average of 13 grams of protein. One easy way to increase the protein content of your morning meal is to add an 8-ounce glass of milk. Every 8-ounce glass of milk – whether organic, flavored or white – provides nine essential nutrients, including eight grams of high-quality protein to help start the day on the right foot. So, power up with protein in the morning with recipes like this herbed cream cheese and egg sandwich. When paired with a glass of milk, it provides 27 grams of protein – a perfect start to those busy days. For even more easy breakfasts powered with protein, visit milklife.com.

The NHS said on its website in advice published last year that there was “increasing evidence” linking excessive sitting with being obese, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, and premature death. It recommends an active break from sitting every 30 minutes, citing expert Professor Stuart Biddle saying: “Sitting needs breaking up.” “Do some tasks standing, like having coffee and chats, or even writing a letter –- Ernest Hemingway Read More …

Bossa Nova Queen Sitti (MNS photo) MANILA (Mabuhay) — Five months after her wedding, Bossa Nova Queen Sitti launched her album “Singles Bossa Nova Trio.” “Sobrang saya ko na makapaglabas kami ng bagong album this time, ‘yung compositions ko ang bida sa album na ito,” Sitti told members of the entertainment media during the CD launching. The singer said her newest CD, with its carrier single “Ligaya,” is the last album she recorded before she tied the knot with Joey Ramirez last May 29. Sitti admitted that there’s been lot of changes in her life after her wedding but stressed that she still has time for her music. “I feel deeper, parang mas may kabuluhan lahat, may hugot lahat, mas masaya, mas panatag,” she said. “What I love about my husband is he still pushes me to work, to sing. So kung mawawala man ako ng ilang linggo for his work ay nakakabawi naman sa singing ko….Whatever I do, he will support [me], [he’s] very supportive,” added Sitti. Asked when she and her husband will have a baby, the singer said: “Kapag ibinigay ni Lord, go!” (MNS)
