HOLIDAY STRESS, FATIGUE, & FAT

Tis the Season

We all know how exciting and stressful the holiday season can be. We tend to be so focused on everyone else that we forget to take time for ourselves. Remember that high cortisol levels as a result of stress can cause us to store fat, and weaken the immune system.  How much fun can your friends and family have with you if your sick or fatigued? Make sure to take time for your health this season so you can stay in tip-top, gift giving shape!

Helpful tip: Carry snacks with you throughout the day to keep your blood sugar stable, and help you stay energized.

• Almonds
• Celery sticks with natural peanut butter 
• Grapes
• Pre-mixed protein shakes
• String cheese
• Apples

RIP TWINKIES

For those of you keeping an eye on the economy you are aware of the Hostess file for bankruptcy. Along with many other products Hostess was the manufacturer of a widely popular American treat "the Twinkie".  Whether you love, or hate them many are saddened by the doing away of this famous dessert cake. Boxes of Twinkies are selling online for unheard off prices as many scramble to snatch up the last of them. But keep in mind the nutritional value of a Twinkie is less than favorable after a quick glance at the nutritional label. Twinkies are loaded with unneccarssary carbs, sugar, and fat. As we move forward as a country in an attempt to get our nation healthy we may notice fewer demands for comparable products.
