Sugar and Healthy Weight
Can you eat sugar and maintain a healthy weight? You might be OK in the weight department, but you won’t have a healthy body. Did you know that Americans eat an average of 32 teaspoons of sugar a day?! Thirty two teaspoons equals 2/3 of a cup (48 teaspoons = 1 cup, just an FYI).

Mermaid or a Whale?
This came across my email yesterday. How about a dose of self acceptance no matter what our weight is currently. Nothing will change until we love and accept our self completely. Read on, dear reader and love yourself, every last inch!
Recently, in a large city in Australia , a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym.
It said, “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?”
Health and wellness, big topic. So far we have looked at physical, emotional, and mental wellness. But the picture is not complete. How are you…. Spiritually?
Did you ever think of that spiritual aspect of yourself? You are in fact a Spiritual being who is having a human experience!
We have talked about physical and mental wellness. Emotional wellness is closely tide to both physical and mental well-being.
According to Wikipedia, emotional intelligence is the ability for a person to identify, assess, and manage their emotions.
Yesterday we looked at wellness from the physical point of view. I discussed foods, diet choices, exercise. Today let’s look at our Mind health.
The mind has to do with thinking. No big news there. How are you thinking. Is your mind clear? Are you distracted or stressed out?
Wellness is the sum total of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. These areas are all intertwined. This means that our mental health can and will effect our physical health. Over the next several days, I will discuss each of these and then put it all together. For today lets look at physical health.
Wellness of the body occurs when all the body processes, physical and mental are functioning at the peak levels. What does it take to achieve a complete body wellness? It requires more than simply taking a trip to the gym, or a walk in the park.
