Worried about eating too much over the holiday!

It is said that your nose could hold the answer to weight loss, as taste is really smell.

To help you to taste your food you need to take certain actions so as to make yourself feel fuller.

Make sure that you chew your food well and slowly.

Eat your food whilst it is hot to help release the smell.

Doing these couple of little things could help prevent you putting on too much weight over the holiday season.

But it is still said that exercise is the best way to lose weight.

Happy Thanksgiving

Some stress busting tips

Stress nowadays is a major problem, life is so fast moving. Some stress can be good for you but too much stress is a definite no no.

Here are some tips to help you feel calmer and more in control.

1. There never seems to be enough time in the day to do all that you want to do but even so, give yourself 20 to 30 minutes each day, this is your time. A time for yourself – you can do nothing if that is what you want to do or you can pamper yourself, it is up to you.

2. Go for a walk or go window shopping to help clear you mind, walking can sometimes actually help you think a problem out.

3. This one I like and use sometimes – visualise yourself by a stream, you can hear the tinkle of the stream, the birds singing in the trees above, feel the warmth of the sun on your body and the cool grass beneath your feet. Make it feel as real as possible, concentrate for a few minutes on how it makes you feel, the calmness and the peace.
If this does not work for you then you can always visualise something else, for example being on the beach.

Try one of these tips and see if they can work for you – help you feel calmer and not so stressed.

Stress is one of the most important thing to help you age quickly. If you are trying to do too much, rushing here and there, then you need to de-stress.

Meditating can be a great way to de-stress. There are many ways that you can meditate, there is not a right way or wrong way, you just need to find the one that works for you.

Regular meditation has many benefits including feeling calmer and relaxed, sleeping better and feeling less anxious.

Meditation is a time for you, a time when you can relax. It does not have to take long; you can make it as long or short a time as you want.

We all need to take time out and relax, as nowadays life is very fast and furious and eventually you will need to find a way to cope.
