Tis the Giving Season

Want to Conquer the Holidays this Year?

The holiday season is ripe with opportunities to give back.  Consider a donation to a food bank, an adopt-a-family program, volunteering, sponsoring a child, helping out a neighbor in need–the list goes on and on.  Giving is not only good for the receiver; it also has health benefits for the giver.

Don’t Skimp on Sleep

Want to Conquer the Holidays this Year?

Consider your sleep habits. Are you getting the recommended 7-9 hours of uninterrupted shut-eye most nights? If not, look for ways to increase your zzzzs. Examine your TV and online time, caffeine intake, schedule, and the priority you place on getting adequate sleep. A lack of sleep leads to carb cravings and weight gain.
