2/1/2019 8 things to remember when going through tough times ** Everything can - and will - change. ** You've overcome challenges before. ** It's a learning experience. ** Not getting what you want can be a blessing. ** Allow yourself to have some fun. ** Being kind to yourself is the best medicine. ** Other people's negativity isn't worth worrying about. ** And there is always, always, always something to be thankful for.
12/4/2018 Helathy holiday tips **Don't skip meals - skipping a meal in the hopes of saving calories prior to a holiday event can often backfire, leading to overeating. Instead, have a small healthy snack prior to the event. **Choose your splurges - scan the buffet or holiday dinner and choose a couple holiday favorites to splurge on, leaving foods you have all year long for a later time. **Think color - create a festive looking plate by adding fruits and vegetables, aiming to fill half the plate with these. **Choose drinks wisely - try to choose calorie-free drinks like seltzer, tea or water. Since alcohol is empty calories, drink in moderation, drinking a glass of water after each alcoholic drink. **Visit the people, not the food - try moving the socializing away from the buffet or appetizer table to prevent mindless snacking. **Eat until you are satisfied, not full - eat slowly and pay attention to when you are satiated. ** Savor seasonal treats - having treats once a year won't make or break your weight; make sure to really taste that treat when you have it. ** Don't feel guilty - if you do overindulge, don't beat yourself. Make sure your next meal is a healthy one and focus on adding exercise into your routine. Happy Holidays!

Exercise

Regularly Use Your Body To Avoid Breakdown

There are 1,440 minutes in every day. Schedule 30 of them for physical activity!

Regular exercise is a critical part of staying healthy. People who are active live longer and feel better. Exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight. It can delay or prevent diabetes, some cancers and heart problems.

Most adults need at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five days per week. Examples include walking briskly, mowing the lawn, dancing, swimming for recreation or bicycling. Stretching and weight training can also strengthen your body and improve your fitness level.

The key is to find the right exercise for you. If it is fun, you are more likely to stay motivated. You may want to walk with a friend, join a class or plan a group bike ride. If you've been inactive for awhile, use a sensible approach and start out slowly.
