Healthy AND Yummy Holidays!
I am often asked for healthy holiday recipe suggestions. I know that really means... can I make vegetables taste like mac and cheese or fruit taste like a chocolate cake! There's a belief that healthy and yummy are worlds apart.

6 Tips to Prevent Overeating During the Holidays

  1. Listen to your body: It takes 20 minutes for your digestive system to inform the brain that you are full. Before having seconds or dessert, ensure it has been at least 20 minutes since you started eating.
  2. Take a break: Take a break from eating during your meal by having a drink of water, or talking with your company. This will help your meal last at least 20 minutes.
  3. Drink water with your meal: Water is calorie free and helps aid digestion. Choose water over other beverages to avoid excess calorie intake.
  4. Graze during the day: Eat small meals and snacks leading up to the holiday meal. Avoid skipping meals all day to save room for the feast. Eating more often will increase your metabolism and put less stress on your digestive system.
  5. Drink hot liquids during or after your meal: Hot liquids tend to help speed up digestion. Drink hot herbal/decaf tea or hot water with your meals to aid digestion. Avoid drinking caffeine in excess such as coffee.
  6. Wait for dessert: Instead of having dessert with the meal, wait and have dessert 1-2 hours after the meal. This will put less stress on your GI tract.
Neurological Disorders and Hyperbarics

Approximately 1 billion people of all ages are currently affected by neurological disorders, with an estimated 6.8 million related deaths that occur every year world-wide. New evidence has shown how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has helped individuals regain neurological activity and functionality.
