Life just gets to us at times! We seem to be running in circles overcoming challenges, celebrating wins etc etc. More often than not, what we need is a breather - take a ‘Kit Kat” as the advertisement says……

Do you bathe in hot or cold water? Did you know that your choice had its own health benefits?
My parents who are in their 80s prefer to bathe in cold water. I prefer hot water
What about you?

WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT? CHOOSE TO EAT SUSHI

If you're not making sushi at home you're missing out on a delicious and extremely diet-friendly meal. It's easy to make, fast, nutritious.

If you are afraid of the raw fish, just know that it is completely optional.

First let's have a brief overview of sushi for those who've never had it or those who have tried it but want to know more.

Sushi is the catch-all name for a wide variety of Japanese dishes.

The word sushi actually refers to rice with rice vinegar added. Since this is a very basic and lightly flavored food, it is the many ingredients added to it that really define what dish you are eating.

The raw fish you have heard of is sashimi - an ingredient of many types of sushi. However you can create sushi with virtually any ingredient that goes with rice.

In America by far the most common type of sushi is Maki-sushi, or rice wrapped in seaweed. The seaweed is called nori and forms the green skin you can see around sushi pieces. For this reason maki-sushi are called nori rolls on many menus.

Also popular is Nigiri-sushi, small bars of rice topped with wasabi and sashimi.

It's easy to include sushi into a healthy diet. Think of the ingredients: rice, vegetables, and fish. Not exactly a heart-attack in the making, just the opposite in fact. As long as you don't go overboard on the rice it is extremely low calorie in addition to being low fat.

FOOD TO RELIEVE STRESS (continued)

1. WALNUTS
If you’re looking for a healthy snacking option which will help you to stay better in control of your stress levels, walnuts are a great choice. There is no denying the sweet, pleasant flavor of walnuts and they can be a tasty snack for in-between meals or as part of a desert.
A versatile nut, walnuts are great for salads, or add them to a sweet treat such as coffee and walnut cake.

2. PISTACHIOS
Great for snacking on and can also help to combat stress and anxiety in the long term is pistachios. Studies have found that simply eating two small, snack-size portions of pistachios per day can lower vascular constriction when you are stressed, putting less pressure on your heart by further dilating your arteries.
furthermore, the rhythmic, repetitive act of shelling pistachios can actually be quite therapeutic!

3. GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES
Should be part of anyone’s diet. Along with helping to combat stress, leafy greens are full of nutrients and antioxidants which help to fight off disease and leave your body feeling healthier and more energized. Dark leafy greens, for example spinach, are especially good for you since they are rich in folate, which helps your body to produce more mood-regulating neurotransmitters such as serotonin, which is a ‘feel-good’ chemical.
Making leafy greens a part of your diet will help you to feel happier

4.FERMENTED FOOD
Eating fermented foods such as yogurt can help to keep your gut healthy, which actually in turn will help to improve your mental health and reduce stress levels. The beneficial bacteria which are found in fermented foods such as yogurt actually have a direct effect on your brain chemistry and transmit positive mood and behavior regulating signals to your brain.

Food that help combat stress (continued)

*CHOCOLATE – Although it’s usually seen as an unhealthy treat, there is an undeniable link between chocolate and our mood. Studies have shown that eating chocolate can actually make you happier.
However, that doesn’t mean that you can start munching on chocolate bars every time you're stressed out – chocolate works best as a de-stressor when eaten in moderation and as part of a healthy and balanced diet.
Dark chocolate in particular is best for you, as it contains 2 to 3 times more flavonol rich cocoa and polyphenols, two hugely important antioxidants which can help combat stress, more than many fruit juices!

*GRASS-FED BEEF – Grass-fed beef is not only kinder to the planet and to animals, it’s also good for people, too.
Grass-fed beef has a huge range of antioxidants, including beta-carotene and Vitamins C and E, which can help your body to fight stress and anxiety.
If you’re looking for more reasons to spend a little more money on organic, grass-fed beef, it’s also lower in fat compared to grain-fed beef whilst being higher in omega-3.

*OATMEAL – Oatmeal is great in that it can be a filling comfort food, but also has a large number of healthy properties to actually make you feel better from the inside out.
A complex carbohydrate, eating oatmeal causes your brain to produce higher levels of the feel-good chemical serotonin, helping you to feel calmer and less stressed.
Studies have shown that kids who choose oatmeal for breakfast tend to be much sharper throughout the morning in school compared to kids who had other morning meals.
