Rethink Your Drink!

Trying to lose weight? Watch out for those sneaky liquid calories! Sodas, juices, and alcoholic drinks are packed with hidden sugars and calories. Try to limit these or find low-sugar alternatives to keep your calorie intake in check.

Also be mindful of fancy coffees and teas which can be high in calories due to syrups, creamers, and whipped toppings. Choose black coffee or tea whenever possible. If you need a little sweetener add in a splash of milk with a small amount of honey or maple syrup.

Feeling SAD?

Feeling down and low in energy as the days become shorter is a real thing. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects roughly 10 million Americans and is a form of depression that occurs from mid to late fall through to the early days of spring.

This season, improve your mood by ensuring you get outside each day during daylight. Considering light therapy may also help, as will staying connected socially, and maintaining a regular exercise routine. It’s also important to eat foods rich in Vit D and speak to your doctor about supplementation.

How’s your sleep? Do you feel well rested?

The darker days that come with late fall can disrupt sleep patterns. Maintain a consistent sleep schedule, create a calming bedtime routine and limit screen time at least 1 hour before bed.
