Worrying: Self induced agonizing

We are never certain about what the future will bring us. Our mind becomes occupied by worrying until the future unfolds. Left in a situation we cannot control or are unable to take action upon, we resort to worrying about the possible outcome ahead. Uncertainty is not easy to embrace. In fact, sometimes we envy other people who can be so go with the flow and care free. But worrying only makes us more anxious and miserable. Worrying doesn’t just have a simple off switch for s

Tortilla Chips: Can you only have a few??

This snack food made from corn tortillas is a favorite crunch for many to consume, especially during football season. These wedges are pretty basic…. corn, vegetable oil, salt, and water, fried or baked. Yellow corn is the popular staple, but they can also be made from white, blue, or red corn. Originally considered only a Hispanic style food, this chip is a main attraction for any party, dip, or occasion. Today, tortilla chips sell at a much higher rate than regular potato c

Cinnamon: Healthy holiday spice

Cinnamon is a spice found from the bark of certain trees. The strips from the bark roll up into cinnamon sticks. The sticks can then be used ground up. The oily part of this spice, called cinnamaldehyde, is where the smell comes from. It’s a nice addition to foods and has an aroma many enjoy. Sprinkled on toast, a little on the latte, or the smell of a candle….cinnamon is a popular additive. There are actually two types. Ceylon is deemed “true” cinnamon and cassia is the othe

Relationships: Do's & Don'ts during your fitness journey

Whatever the goal(s) of your fitness journey, the adventure is mental and emotional. To succeed, certain behaviors, priorities, and choices do change. These new habits also affect our spouse, partner, best friend, siblings, parents, and so on. Our attempt to change means what was done in the past will not continue. With this change in ourselves, we find change in the dynamics of our relationships. We want people on our “good side” as we fight this fight. As we assert ourselve

White Bread vs Wheat Bread: a carbohydrate comparison

Carbohydrates are classified as either simple or complex. This has to do with their chemical structure. Here’s the science…. for a simple carb, there are one or two sugar subunits and complex carbs have thousands of subunits. Complex carbohydrates contain complex chains of the simple sugars linked together. They break down much more slowly in order to be able to release their stored energy. The body uses both simple and complex carbs by converting them to glucose and which th

Coconut Oil: Solid at room temperature but is it a “solid” choice for our body??

Coconut oil has certainly made its debut lately on our grocery shelves, in recipes, and it’s all over social media. It is the new trendy healthy fat of choice. Cook with it, use it for you skin… this oil seems like the new greasy answer to all. Origin Coconut oil comes from pressing the fat from the inside of this giant nut. About 84% of its calories come from saturated fat. To compare, 14% of olive oil’s calories and 63% of butter are from saturated fat. This is what makes c

CALORIES: No need for a receipt, they always count

We have to eat to live. Food is a necessity and with its consumption comes constant decision making. Consider how many times per day you think about food. All these choices have a label on them (even on restaurant menus now), that include how many calories per serving each item contains. A calorie is actually a unit of energy. Our body needs this energy to function. Scientifically speaking, a calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise 1 kilogram of water from 0 to 1 degr

BREAK UP WITH YOUR SCALE

BREAKING UP WITH YOUR SCALE CAN BE HARD, BUT YOU WON"T REGRET IT! The glaring number Oh the scale. That number. That statistic. The games that nasty measurement tool can play. Why does it matter so much?? How has our society equated weight to being confident, comfortable, or “in-shape”?? Data can be motivating and an indication of progress when trying to lose weight. It can also be a major deterrent and psychological destroyer. The scale has a lonely glare, luring you in to s

Get Up For Your Health : Standing Vs Sitting

Sitting. Life is meant to be in the driver’s seat, but not for hours on end. As the onset of technology, convenience, and work have led to many lives being consumed by sedentary hours, our health continues to be put at risk. Children today come home from school, having sat all day school minus maybe 45 minutes of P.E., only to continue to sit more for homework, T.V., dinner, then off to bed. Adults have the same habit. Maybe they hit the gym for 1 hour, but the rest of the da
