Need another reason to take the stairs??
A new study shows that taking the stairs
not only burns calories, gets your heart rate and breath rate up -
( as in... its physical activity)
it is also faster than taking the elevator.

What goes into potato chips....
A campaign from the British Heart Foundation...
Reminding us that what goes into our snacks goes into us.
1 in 5 kids in the UK eat 9L of oil a year
from eating two bags of crisps (chips) a day.

Holiday Weight Gain
During the Holidays (American Thanksgiving - New Years)
The average North American gains about 1 pound
Not 7-12 like some people might have you think (i.e. gyms with new years deals)
And 1lbs doesn't sounds like a lot.
But most people don't LOSE the 1lbs they gain during the holidays
And since Most Adults gain about 1-2 pounds a year
that means that much of midlife weight gain can be attributed to holiday weight gain.
Watch what you eat this holiday season
Stick to water instead of high calorie beverages
Go easy on the sauce, gravy and butters
Never go to a holiday party hungry
Take small portions the first time around so if you go back for seconds you don't feel too guilty
Don't Hang out by the Food
And Get 30 Minutes of Physical Activity a Day.
-try going for a walk, getting on the stationary bike, go tobogganing or skating
Or Split it Up through out the day
Its Okay to get 3, 10 minute bouts of exercise during the day.
