Root Concealer Sprays – Safe or Not?

Does ExerGaming Motivate you or Perplex you?
I empower my clients to successfully meet their customized health goals through information and lifestyle changes. One of the things I encourage my clients to do is to “exergame”. Movement is critical to overall physical well-being. Theoretically when buddies are striving for maximum movement each day, they can playfully compete with each other on the number of miles they walked/ran or the number of steps they took each day. Exergaming gear (Fitbit, Jawbone, wrist pedometers, etc) seems to be very current on trend, and it seems to help people measure their progress with others. That seems to be beneficial for the most part when the buddies are similarly active.
Sugar, Sugar!! The highs and the lows
“Sugar” refers to several molecules that belong to a family of carbohydrates. They are short carbohydrates. “Sugar” includes glucose & fructose (monosaccharides), and sucrose (1 glucose + 1 fructose). Ultra long carbohydrate chains (glycogen) are not considered “sugar”. Longer carbohydrate chains are unrefined fuel, and the body has to “burn” them by first breaking them down. So our bodies prefer to STORE longer chain carbohydrates and burn the more efficient shorter chain carbohydrates.
Holiday Stress Mediation… what’s your method?
Biologically, a certain amount of stress is a necessary for survival. If we feel in danger, our parasympathetic nervous system (“fight or flight”) activates to stress our bodies and mind, so we can gather our full potential for running for our lives or for fighting like our life depends on it. Stress can impact our hormone production, which in turn can affect virtually every process in our body.

This is a refreshing light dessert that can be prepared ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator ready to assemble just before serving. Assembling takes a few minutes. It consists of coconut milk and “ice cream” base – coconuts are so powerfully good for us!
