A wonderful story from our terrific team at Healdsburg Hospital!

Ana Fernandez hadn’t told anyone she was pregnant until she walked into the emergency room of Healdsburg Hospital in early December. The next morning, staff there did what they haven’t done in years: Delivered a baby.

Interesting article about weight loss but exercise is more than just a way to lower a number on a scale. We now understand that exercise is the antidote to stress and burnout.
We are lucky to live in a place with a mild climate and an abundance of trails and parks to spread out and move in.

Whatever your motivation, today is the perfect day to get outside and move around!

Physical activity plays a role in energy balance, helping with weight loss and keeping extra weight off once it has been lost.

Great news - that warming cup of tea or coffee on a foggy Sonoma County morning can actually be good for your health!

A study released today by researchers at Tianjin Medical University says healthy individuals between the ages of 50 and 74 who drank two to three cups of coffee or three to five cups of tea per day — or a combination of four to six cups of both per day — had the lowest incidence of stroke and dementia among 365,682 study participants.

Experts say people who drink a moderate amount of coffee or tea on a daily basis receive a number of health benefits from those beverages.

So many great tips from Nest Wellness and this one just had to be shared!
Follow Beth and you will unlock the secrets to eating a balanced diet!

🧡This decadent Chocolate Torte is a perfect example of food combining

➡️I have been using the Levels app and Freestyle Libre continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for the past 3 weeks to learn more about how my blood sugar levels affect my energy, mood, headaches, hot flashes and skin health

➡️Poor blood sugar control is associated with insulin resistance, development of type 2 diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and poor metabolic health

🧡What I have learned so far:

➡️DON’T EAT SUGAR BY ITSELF! And by sugar I mean refined sugar of course but also anything that turns into sugar in your bloodstream like: fruit and grains

➡️FOOD COMBINING IS KEY! What you eat with your carbohydrates is just as important as the source when it comes to blood sugar levels. Combining a carb with protein, fiber and fat will lessen the glucose spike after a meal

🧡This simple, no-bake dessert contains a perfect ratio of healthy fat from coconuts, fiber and sweetness from dates, 90% dark chocolate, and protein from nuts

🧡We don’t normally eat dessert every day, but for the sake of experimentation, my husband and I have enjoyed a slice of this rich and delicious Chocolate Torte several times over the past weeks and I am happy to report that it is a “level” and balanced treat!

Be well,
