Tis Your Season...to Watch Your Weight

Can you believe it?  2009 is almost gone...the Holidays are fast upon us....and the partying mood is about to commence. This is the time of year when we over indulge our children, our stomachs, and our credit limits. Then sadly repentant, we try to atone with New Year's Resolutions that never fly...

So maybe it is time to remember to be more considerate of our budgets and appetites, and have more joy now and less remorse later.

The American Institute for Cancer Research released some pretty upsetting data that links the propensity of certain types of cancer to excessive body fat. 

Did you know that being 30 pounds overweight (a BMI of 30)is considered being obese?

Below are percentages of specific cancers attributed to obesity:

• Endometrial   49%
• Esophagial  35%
• Pancreatic  28%
• Kidney  24%
• Gallbladder  21%
• Breast  17%
• Colorectal  9%

The message is pretty darn clear: "Take care of yourself... Take care of your weight."

Listen and live by that and you've got the  best holiday gift you can give to yourself and to those who care about you.

So, enjoy the season in moderation.....if you splurge, don't feel guilty...but don't lose sight of the fact that you need to resume healthy choices....one splurge doesn't have to be the excuse for a month of bad behaviors.

• Take the best women vitamins that already include your essential vitamins & trace minerals 
• Exercise daily
• Meditate and be grateful for the opportunities to share good times with friends and family
• Don't stress yourself out with unrealistic expectations

And above all,  don't forget that it tis the season to be a living, healthy, happy gift... Take your women vitamins and ....Be blessed, Kersten
