Nutrition Tip



Meal Replacement. Can you really replace a meal? The hectic demands of daily life sometimes leave us very little time to plan and enjoy meals which has resulted in a growing number of meal replacement options. Meal replacements come in liquid and bar form. Unfortunately, very few of them completely satisfy our nutritional needs. The downside of most "replacements" is that they lack fiber and phytochemicals - compounds found in plant foods that aid in disease prevention. Also, they don't provide the enjoyment factor that a "sit-down" meal provides. Attempt to plan and enjoy most of your meals and make sure you always have nutritious and tasty food available.



Health Tip



Lucky you. Being happy and optimistic can keep you healthy. Find ways to emphasize the positives, both large and small, in all aspects of your life. Be grateful for what you have and you will feel better about life as a whole. Be kind and considerate to others; random acts of kindness increase happiness. Find time to be with friends and family, it provides socialization and supportive relationships. Smile at a coworker or stranger, it will elevate happiness for both of you. Move; exercise is a powerful mood elevator. Rest; take time to "zone out" once in a while. Staying happy will also minimize your chances of catching a cold or virus.

On Meal Replacement...I agree with this one Stel!

>>"very few of them completely satisfy our nutritional needs. The downside of most "replacements" is that they lack fiber and phytochemicals - compounds found in plant foods that aid in disease prevention. Also, they don't provide the enjoyment factor that a "sit-down" meal provides."

On mood/activities....oh yes, it makes such a difference!


"Being happy and optimistic can keep you healthy".
Thanks for these articles Stel! Hope you're having a great Monday!

well, that made me smile :)

I think I'm a pretty happy person...quick update from my weekend...it was a busy one, but really good. I spent a lot of time with my family..they are all so great. Ryan met my parents..he is so so great..and just treats me sooooooo good! We haven't had much time to hangout over the past week, but he's coming to homecoming at my college this saturday ad the weekend after we're going to the shore with a big group of people so that will be fun.

I saw matchbox twenty last night with my best fried and my sister, they ended with my absolute favorite song....long day....the whole show was awesome, that was the 3rd time I've seen them and I can't wait til they come back!!!!

Nothing really good to say about working here, but it's paying the bills so for now it'll have to do. Still searching for a roomate..UGH. Guess that's about all that's new with me....time to get rid of some dots!!

i hope you all have a great monday!!!

HUGS

What a great weekend! He sounds like such a sweetie too! :) And a concert too with a close friend and sis sounds like the icing on the cake . I see Matchbox20 is going to be on Jay Leno on the 4th next month. ;)
Hope you find that roommate soon. :)

Awww Stel ..
You're such a sweetie for doing this .. I really appreciate it hon ..


Meal Replacement. Can you really replace a meal?
I don't think you can really *replace*
Maybe a better choice of words would be *substitute* for a time .. JMHO of course
