Studies show that Americans consume 1/3 of their
daily calories away from home. When dining out, don't forgo healthy nutritional
practices. Ask the waiter to box half of your meal up in advance, ask for a side
of veggies, drink water or unsweetened tea instead of soda, order your meal
without the fattening extra's (i.e. mayo, butter), etc. Remember, you're the
paying customer and that paying close attention to the details makes a huge
difference. |

Be strong
It takes strength to be polite to someone who has
been rude to you. It takes strength to be truthful when a lie would be easier.
It takes strength to do what has to be done even though it is unpleasant and
uncomfortable. It takes strength to keep going in face of the obstacles, when it
would be easier just to give up.
It takes strength to build for the future. It takes strength to resist
temptation. It takes strength to do what is right. It takes strength to make an
effort when it would be easier to make up an excuse.
And at the same time, strength comes from doing what is right. Strength comes
from the truth. Strength comes from building for the future.
Strength comes from effort. Strength comes from persistence.
Be strong, and you will get stronger. Your strength will bring triumph.
Your strength will bring success. You have strength. Use it and it will
bring many good things.

"To laugh often and much,
To win the respect of intelligent people and the
affection of children; To earn the appreciation of
honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To
leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy
child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To know that even one life has breathed easier because
you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
--Ralph
Waldo Emerson. |

Top 10 Tips To Maintain A
Healthy Holiday Balance
Holidays offer temptation for party�goers to abandon healthy nutrition habits.
Late nights and the chilling cold keep most of us away from exercise regime, all
this is enough to jeopardize our fitness goals. Here are 10 tips from WF experts
that can help make your holiday season a healthy one.
Eat Sensibly: Eat more fruits and vegetables. These are packed with
powerful antioxidants which can help offset the effects of stress and possible
late night get-togethers during this time of year. If you have a party at your
house, put low-calorie and fat-free salad dressings on the menu. Pack the table
with flavorful vegetable dishes, and make reduced-fat versions of your family's
favorite traditional dishes.
Stay Active: No matter whatever might be the reason try to follow a
regular exercise routine to help regulate metabolism. Don't have an hour to
spare? Try 10� or 15� minute brisk walks at intervals throughout the day � they
all add up. Remember, after a holiday meal, to wait 60 to 90 minutes before
taking your walk.
Drink plenty of water: Water is essential to keep all our systems
functioning smoothly but it�s also essential for rehydrating the body and
recovering from a hangover. You should be drinking, on average, two litres of
water each day and more if you are physically active.

Anemia is a medical condition in which the blood
has a deficiency of red blood cells or of the hemoglobin these cells need to
carry oxygen. Nutritionists feel that blood nourishing herbs aid in the
absorption of iron as well as providing other benefits to the blood. And with
lower doses of iron, the unpleasant side effects can be avoided. Read more about
