Health and Diet
Every day is a new day. If tough times send you reeling for the refrigerator, find other ways to deal with your problems. Try to cope with negative emotions in positive ways. Write in your journal, read, take a warm, relaxing bath, call a friend, walk the dog, play with the cat… whatever de-stressor works for you! The trick is to not “feed” into negativity.

Fitness
Don’t exercise with a fever. Fever (a body temperature above 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) signifies you are doing battle with a virus. When you exercise under these conditions it increases your risk of dehydration, heatstroke, and even heart failure. Wait for your fever to subside prior to resuming moderate physical activity.

Reduce your sodium intake! Rinse and drain all canned vegetables, beans, and legumes before eating. Put the saltshaker away and use fresh or dried herbs and sodium-free spices! Try combining: 2 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. basil 1 tsp. oregano 1 tsp. anise 1 tsp. powdered lemon rind or dried lemon

Fitness
Avoid the 3 P’s, pills, powders, and potions! There is no magic bullet for weight loss and health. If it sounds too good to be true it is. Your money would be much better spent on a personal trainer or a virtual one like those available on eDiets.com.
