This article quickly explains some of the history and what is currently up with the words "high fructose corn syrup". Bottom Line: the American Heart Association is making strong recommendations to limit ADDED sugar in our diets, in whatever form they come in! Limit processed foods and enjoy foods which are naturally sweet, like fruit. P.S. Good News: High Quality Dark Chocolate is very low in added sugar!!

Exercise Bulimia is difficult to detect, especially in yourself, in a society that praises fitness. At what cost are you dedicated to your fitness plan? Do you become irritable and emotionally upset if your exercise routine is disrupted? Do you find yourself sacrificing time for relationships in your life so that you can stick to your plan?

“ It is also the first time that a behavioral intervention (ie, yoga postures) has been associated with a positive correlation between acute increases in thalamic GABA levels and improvements in mood and anxiety scales."
This means a great deal if you are eating when you are anxious. The next time you are heading for the pantry when your stomach is not hungry, experiment with taking 15 minutes to do a few restorative yoga postures. See if you still feel the need to eat!! IT'S WORTH A TRY!
