Keys to Successful Brown Baggin’ It

One of the easiest ways to get off track when it comes to eating a healthy diet is being away from home. This may be especially true at work, since you most likely spend quite a bit of time there.

Typically, there are few nutritious food options available, and when those hunger pangs hit, it’s far easier to give into the temptation to chow down on an unhealthy meal or snack.

The obvious solution is brown baggin’ it. These tips and suggestions for great brown bag lunches can help you get started.

Leftovers are ideal

Whenever you cook a meal at home, store a little extra to use for your lunches. If you’ve got a microwave at work, it’s one of the easiest ways to enjoy a satisfying, warm and nutritious meal that will help you stick to your healthy diet.

Make lunches over the weekend for the following week

There are lots of things that can be cooked in large batches and stored (either in the fridge or freezer) to use throughout the next week. It saves a lot of time and trouble, and helps to reduce the stress of putting your lunch together when you’re caught in the morning rush. Preparing in advance makes things much easier.

Mix and match the following for a wide variety of healthy lunches:

• Make kebabs with your choice of meat and/or vegetables. This is even a good option if you don’t have access to a microwave, as they taste delicious cold, too.
• A salad with lots of leafy greens, avocado and other veggies, nuts and seeds. Don’t add the dressing until you’re ready to eat it. Bring a lemon and squeeze on fresh lemon juice, or some balsamic vinegar. Even mashed avocado makes a great dressing.
• Raw veggies with almond butter
• Hard boiled eggs
• Last night’s leftovers
• Free range chicken drumsticks
• Wraps – use romaine lettuce, kale or radicchio to make a healthy wrap. Stuff it with chicken or other meats (ideally organic and grass-fed) and/or veggies.
• Invest in a good thermos and bring a ready-to-eat homemade soup or chili
• Bring some snacks along to appease those in-between-meal hunger pangs, like a homemade trail mix consisting of nuts, seeds and dried fruit. A banana or apple with almond butter or a sweet potato pre-cooked and mashed up with a little coconut oil, cinnamon and sea salt is easy, satisfying and delicious.

Brown baggin’ it is one of the best ways to get closer to your health and fitness goals – you might just find that it makes the difference between success and failure, leading to a lifetime of better health.

Why Winter Sun is So Important to Your Health

While most of us are taught to fear the sun, moderate sun exposure is a must. As the days grow shorter and cooler and we’re less likely to be outside, we are getting dramatically less day-to-day sun, which can affect our health and our mood.

The sun is essential to life: we need its rays in order to survive. Of course, it’s also important to avoid spending hours and hours out in the sun without protection.

Not only is sun important for the production of vitamin D, an essential nutrient that helps to fight inflammation and protect us from cancer, research has found that exposure to the sun in appropriate amounts offers numerous other health benefits.

These include enhancing the mood and boosting energy levels through the release of endorphins, treating skin conditions like dermatitis and psoriasis, relieving the pain of fibromyalgia and inducing nitric oxide, which helps to protect the skin against UV damage as well as promoting wound healing and offering cardiovascular protection.

Of course, due to the dangers of the sun that are often talked about, many of us aren’t getting enough vitamin D, which the body makes itself, but only in response to sun exposure. This is even more true during the winter time, when we’re often stuck indoors.

According to the Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide:

“The same DNA-damaging, sunburn-causing UVB wavelengths that sunscreens are designed to block also do some good: They kick off the chemical and metabolic chain reaction that produces vitamin D. Research shows that many people have low vitamin D levels.

There is a well-documented relationship between low vitamin D levels and poor bone health. Now links have been made to everything from multiple sclerosis to prostate cancer. ‘Linking’ low vitamin D with these diseases doesn’t prove cause-and-effect, but it suggests that possibility.”

An increasing number of both mainstream and alternative health professionals suggest that sun is essential for good health and should not be avoided entirely. Again, this doesn’t mean laying out out for hours at a time under the sun, but it does mean you can stop being obsessive about covering yourself with SPF 50 all year round, or avoiding the sun altogether.

Even during the winter, it’s important to get outdoors. Just ten minutes a day will give your body the message to make more vitamin D, and it’s likely to boost your mood too. Consider it a nice time out, away from work or the distraction of all of those high tech gadgets.

A short sun break is a great way to destress and take a breather while upping your vitamin D levels… so get out there ASAP!

Upcycling Your Live Christmas Tree

Isn’t it remarkably depressing to drive or walk down the road after the holidays, and see old Christmas trees kicked to the curb, to be hauled away? This year, don’t let this happen to your tree.

Instead of throwing out your tree, try one of the following ideas to give it a new purpose.

Mulch and edge your garden

Old Christmas trees are great for lots of garden uses. The needles of the tree make great mulch for flower and vegetable gardens. You can also rent a wood chipper and chip the trunk of the tree for mulch.

You can cover perennial gardens with branches of the tree to help protect them from frost. As the tree branches deteriorate they will help add nutrients to the garden, as well. If sliced into pieces, the trunk of the tree makes a great flower garden edging.

Make a bird or fish castle

An old tree is a great sanctuary for lots of animals. Lay it in your backyard for a bird haven, or set it up with feeders. Birds love hiding in the branches and using a laying tree as protection from the wind. If you decide to hang feeders, try making your own by covering pinecones in peanut butter and bird seed.

If you live near a pond or lake, puting a tree in the water gives wintering fish a great place to hide. You will need to be sure you are permitted to do this in your area. Also, make sure your tree has no chemicals on it before submerging it.

Make coasters and trivets

If you are feeling a little crafty, you can use the trunk of the Christmas tree to make coasters and trivets. Slice the trunk a few inches thick, then sand and seal the wood. The finished coasters are perfect for rustic and country decor. You could even paint the slices and use them as ornaments for next year’s tree.

Have a bonfire

Old Christmas trees make great fuel for a fun neighborhood bonfire. Make sure to chop the tree into more manageable pieces, and check the burning laws in your area. The branches and pieces of trunk also make great kindling for indoor fireplaces. Chop some up and store in a dry area. Your Christmas tree could help keep you warm the rest of winter!

Donate

In some areas, you can donate your old Christmas tree. Zoos and wildlife parks will sometimes take the trees to use as wildlife shelters. You can donate your tree to some cities so that they can make mulch. A few Christmas tree companies will even haul away old trees for mulch as well.

Ask around and find the best place for your tree to go. It has so many better uses than rotting in a dump heap.

This is Your Brain on Diet Soda

Most of us have accepted by now that diet soda is not the ‘healthy’ alternative to normal soda that it’s often marketed as. You may have heard, for example, that it’s linked to high blood pressure, cancer and behavioral disorders. But did you know that it also affects your brain?

Research has shown that artificial sweeteners, which are used in diet soda, can actually change the functioning of the reward area of our brains – a part of the brain critical to controlling and monitoring eating behavior.

Here’s how it works:

Evolutionary survival mechanisms in the brain encourage us to seek out high calorie foods—like sugar and fat—so we won’t starve. That’s why the first bite of cake or the first cookie is always the best. When we take the first bite of these sweet items, the body releases dopamine, we feel pleasurable sensations, and we want to continue eating.

Leptin, the hormone that regulates appetite and notifies the brain when you are full, is also released, so that each bite after the first does not taste quite as good. This, in theory, should prevent us from overeating.

However, when we consume anything artificially sweetened, like diet soda, we disturb this system in the body. This is because when you consume a sweet beverage with no calories, your brain thinks it’s going to get energy—calories—that it can use. So, your brain expects calories, but they never come, and when your brain expects something that doesn’t appear, it becomes confused on how to respond.

This can have both short term and long term effects. In the short term, you may be hungrier that day, and specifically crave more sweets, because your brain is still craving those calories it thought it was getting earlier when you drank that diet soda.

In the long term, you may actually be re-conditioning your brain to want to eat more whenever you consume anything sweet—including anything naturally sweet like sugar or fruit.

Your body also may not know whether or not to release leptin when you eat sweet foods, which means your brain may not know when you’re full, making it a lot easier to overeat. In this way, diet soda doesn’t only affect your brain—the overeating it causes also affects your waistline.

If the brain confusion and potential for weight gain isn’t enough to put you off the falsely sweet stuff, consider the fact that even diet soda drinkers who are a normal weight have shown an increased risk of developing the top three killers in the United States: diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

Without a doubt, we need to stop drinking this stuff entirely.

Take the Bloat out of Your Diet

Take the Bloat out of Your Diet

By Kristen Stewart | Medically reviewed by Lindsey Marcellin, MD, MPH

If you often feel bloated after eating, simple changes to your diet can help.

We all know the pleasures of a good meal, and how that can be followed by discomfort around the waistband when we've eaten too much. While occasional episodes of feeling bloated after eating are the price we pay for overindulgence, for some people this unpleasant sensation is an all too common occurrence.

But don't throw down your napkin in surrender just yet. There is hope. With the proper diet adjustments and simple changes in eating habits, it is possible to enjoy food and feel good afterward.

Why Am I Bloated After Eating?

In a nutshell, that uncomfortable, bloated-after-eating feeling is typically caused by too much intestinal gas and/or excessive contents in the intestine. This in turn makes the stomach swell and feel tight.

The exact cause of bloating, however, can vary from individual to individual. Some people feel bloated after eating because they simply ate too much. The more a person eats, the longer it takes for the food to move from the stomach to the small intestine for digestion and the more bloated after eating you can feel. Other people may be sensitive to certain types of food.

For people who are lactose-intolerant, consuming regular milk and dairy products can cause discomfort. In addition, too much fiber in your diet can contribute to bloating after eating.

"High fiber intakes are not a problem if you are used to them, but going from a low to high [fiber diet] too rapidly can cause temporary discomfort in some people," says Susan B. Roberts, PhD, professor in the nutrition and psychiatry departments at Tufts University in Boston and author of The Instinct Diet (Workman). You definitely want to enjoy the health benefits of a high-fiber diet, but add fiber to your diet more gradually if you think that's the source of your bloated feeling.

The number of calories you eat can also be a trigger. The body secretes hormones from the walls of the intestines that can cause nausea and bloating when too many calories are consumed. Try eating four to six small meals rather than three large meals a day.

How to Eliminate That Bloated-After-Eating Feeling

"Eating smaller meals can help prevent bloating," says Joan Salge Blake, RD, clinical associate professor in the department of health sciences at Boston University. "And slow down!" Eating or drinking too quickly can cause excess air to be swallowed, which contributes to the problem, she says.

In addition, watch what you eat. "Fatty foods take longer to digest," says Lona Sandon, RD, assistant professor in the department of clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. "Also, vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and beans can cause more gas to be formed when digested in the small intestine." Of course, this doesn't mean you should avoid these healthful choices, just try to eat smaller portions of them at each sitting to see if that helps your body digest them more easily.

Here are some other ideas to relieve bloating after eating:

Drink plenty of fluids, like water, to aid digestion. Sip slowly throughout the day, however; don't chug. as that will defeat the purpose. Carbonated beverages and drinks like coffee that have a diuretic effect don't count.

Consider adding probiotic yogurt — Dannon is one brand to try — to your diet to encourage a healthy digestive tract. Keep in mind it may take a few weeks to notice its positive effects.

Take a walk after you eat and get adequate exercise on a regular basis; both can ease bloating and help with overall digestion.

As for over-the-counter aids, "they're really only Band-Aids," says Dr. Roberts, "whereas eating the amount of calories your body needs and no more is a real cure."

How to Naturally Avoid Dry Skin this Winter

It’s that time of year again – the season when cold winter weather leaves you with dry, patchy skin. Fear not: these natural remedies will have your skin feeling softer and rehydrated in no time.
They are also less expensive than their commercial counterparts, and they don’t contain any mystery ingredients.
Avocado

Moisturizing your skin with an avocado mask will have your face feeling soft and refreshed. Using a food processor, puree one half of an avocado, then add 1/2 teaspoon of raw honey and one teaspoon of olive oil or yogurt. Cleanse your face of any dirt, and then apply the mask evenly to your skin. Leave it on for approximately 30-40 minutes. Gently rinse and pat dry, so you don’t draw the moisture out with a towel.
Castor oil
Castor oil contains a high concentration of fatty acids that can quickly penetrate and moisturize the skin. A little goes a long way with castor oil. Just a small amount can work wonders for removing dry patches and renewing hydration in the skin.
Simply apply a few drops and gently massage it into your skin at night to wake up feeling revitalized.
Honey
Organic raw honey contains many wonderful properties. As mentioned above, it can be paired with avocado for a refreshing mask, or it can also be used by itself to permeate and soothe the skin.
Simply apply the honey directly to problematic dry areas and gently massage it in. Once it has been applied, let it sit for 3-4 minutes before gently rinsing it off. You will have softer skin in no time.
Aloe vera
The aloe vera plant has such amazing qualities that it was known to the ancient Egyptians as the “plant of immortality.” Inside this plant is a clear gel that is full of medicinal properties which help heal wounds and moisturize.
Particularly for people with oily complexions, aloe vera is great for hydrating the skin without leaving a greasy residue like some commercial products. It also acts as a good moisturizing base when applied to the face before the application of mineral-based makeup.
Coconut oil
The great thing about coconut oil is it can replace moisture in the skin all by itself, right out of the jar with no prep work needed. You just open the lid, and apply it wherever you have dry patches of skin.
That being said, coconut oil also works great in conjunction with other natural ingredients. For a luxurious sugar scrub, mix 1/2 cup of coconut oil, 1 cup of brown sugar, and a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Any of these natural remedies will work wonders for keeping your skin soft and supple despite the cold weather. Experiment a little to find out which ones will work best for you.

Tips for Staying Fit After 50

Once you hit 50 years old, your body starts to naturally change, and your current fitness methods may no longer be as effective. If you currently live an active and healthy lifestyle, you can simply make a couple changes to stay fit.
The following changes are easy, and they are proven to work.
Eat a whole and unprocessed diet

You’ll want to ditch all of the processed foods, and stick with foods that are fresh and packed with nutrients. Make sure that the majority of your diet consists of fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats and proteins, and unprocessed, gluten-free carbohydrates. Incorporate weight training sessions
Weight training is critical as you get older because it promotes the strength and health of your bones and joints. You can choose to do bodyweight exercises, use weights or do a combination of both. You should strive to target all major muscles groups each week, and this requires about three sessions.
Do your weight training every other day as follows: one day for upper body, one day for lower body and one day to work your core.
Perform cardiovascular exercise most days of the week
Ideally, you should perform at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise five days per week. You want to hit your maximum heart rate with each session once you build your endurance, because this ensures optimal cardiovascular benefits.
Walking at a moderate to brisk pace is a very good option for this type of exercise, as are water aerobics, cycling and swimming. If you are an avid runner, this is also a good form of exercise, but if you have joint problems, you’ll want to stick with the low-impact exercises.
Make sure to get the right nutrients
As you get older, there are certain nutrients that you want to focus on, because they are necessary for things like promoting energy and bone health. Talk to your doctor about making dietary changes, or taking a high-quality supplement to ensure that you are getting enough of these nutrients:

• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin D
• Antioxidants
• Iron
• Calcium

Improve your balance and flexibility
Everyone is at risk for arthritis and joint stiffness as they age, but you can help to combat this with regular flexibility and balance exercise. Ideally, you’ll want to perform this type of exercise two to three days per week, with sessions averaging 30 minutes each.
Tai chi and yoga are two fun and easy ways to improve your balance and flexibility simultaneously. These workouts are low impact, and you can tailor them to your needs.
Take the above-listed five tips and start working them into your week. Before you know it, you will find it easier to stay fit even as you get older. All of these tips are easy, and they help you to maintain optimal health.
