One of the biggest misconceptions in dieting is that eating less and less often will make you lose weight. First of all, eating more often will keep your metabolism in drive, not park. Skipping meals is a great way to trick into thinking you are starving, which in turn makes it store fat for future use. Eating often is just as important as eating the right things. For example, eating chips or processed carbs often will make you fat, but eating fruits, veggies and protein will help you shed the pounds. Each time you eat, make sure one quarter of what you eat is protein. Protein helps curb your appetite and balance your blood sugar levels.

Sometimes we can’t help it, we will be in situations where what we eat isn’t going to be ideal. If you have an event coming up and you’re fretting the extra calories, do a proactive workout. You see, when you exercise your metabolism goes up and can stay up for a long as 24 hours. A good strong workout will turn on the genes responsible for metabolism. Keep in mind, you can’t make this a routine or a free ticket to ride the binge train. Exercising does not cancel out bad eating habits. Think of exercise and nutrition as one thing, not two, because when it comes to living longer – it takes both.

Exercise can be good for your skin. It improves circulation and tones your look. If you’re a runner or choose to get most of your exercise outside, the harmful UV rays could be doing more damage than you think. Be sure to use SPF 30 when exercising outside, this will keep you looking young and ward off skin cancer. If you swim and find your skin feeling dry, be sure to use a moisturizer at night before bed. Regardless of how you get your exercise in, make every effort to keep the benefits of exercise and skin health in your favor.

Could small group meditation be the perfect answer to decreasing stress and easing depression? According to a study from Lund University in Sweden, group meditation is as effective as cognitive behavior therapy. This leaves me wondering how much money companies could save if meditation was simply offered over the lunch hour, or at morning or evening breaks. Not only will their healthcare costs go down, but employees could become happier. Happier employees are also more productive employees.
