 KEEPING YOUR HEALTH
ON TRACK
(StatePoint) The holiday season can be an indulgent one,
full of cookies, candies, heavy meals and eggnog. While
no one wants to rein in the fun during the merriest time
of year, there are simple ways to keep your health on track
during this indulgent holiday season.
• Stick to Routines. To the best of your ability during this
hectic time of year, attempt to stick to routines that promote
wellness. Do whatever it is that keeps you grounded and
feeling your best.
• Drink Up. In winter weather it can be especially easy
to forget to stay well-hydrated, especially when you’re
indulging in alcoholic beverages at all those holiday parties.
Soups and purees made from hearty winter vegetables, as
well as citrus fruits do the trick, too, and their nutritional
properties can help keep you healthy in winter.
• Keep Things Organically Sweet. Instantly boost the
flavor of your favorite meals with organic honey. One great
option is Organic Honey In The Raw. Just one tablespoon of
organic raw honey provides the right amount of sweetness
and flavor for any dish or drink, including year-round
staples like oatmeal, yogurt, tea, and more.
• Make Substitutions. Other healthful substitutions you
can make this holiday season include topping pies with
Greek yogurt instead of cream, using apple sauce in
place of oil and nut flour instead of white flour in baking,
and serving vegetable mash as an alternative to mashed
potatoes.
• Be Mindful. The holiday party circuit can be dangerous
when it comes to making nutritious choices. When you
enter a party with a buffet set-up, it can be tempting to
reach for the richest foods first. Before indulging in the
canapes and Swedish meatballs, try filling up a plate with
crudité first. While you’re doing so, get a good look at all
the options available. This way, you’ll be more likely to
savor choice items you’ll truly enjoy.
A joyful holiday season doesn’t mean you must pack on
pounds or feel under the weather. By keeping your health
on track throughout this indulgent time of year, you can
start 2019 with your best food forward.

 Find Your
Christmas Tree
REAL VS ARTIFICIAL?
(BPT) - Here comes Santa Claus ... and a sleigh full
of confusion about Christmas trees. Is it better to
buy real or artificial? Popular myths are that real
trees are bad for the environment and a hassle
while artificial trees make more financial sense.
If your number one concern is the environment,
your number one choice should be a real tree.
Growing, using and recycling real Christmas trees
is good for the environment. Research shows that
when compared on an annual basis, the artificial
tree has three times more impacts on climate
change and resource depletion than the natural
tree. Real Christmas trees are biodegradable and
can even be recycled or reused for mulch, and
every year the circle of life continues. Artificial
trees are petroleum-based products and most
are imported from overseas. Many are thrown
6
away seven to 10 years after they’re purchased,
and every year the landfills where they will stay
(literally for centuries) get a little bit bigger.
Still don’t like the idea of cutting down a tree?
Remember that just like the Halloween pumpkin
you carve with your kids or the fresh-cut flowers
you buy for a loved one on special occasions, real
Christmas trees are farmer-planted and hand-
harvested specifically for people to enjoy. And,
for every real Christmas tree harvested, a new
tree is planted.
Ultimately, with all of the myths aside, a real
Christmas tree is a choice you can be proud of.
Whether you prefer to shop at a neighborhood
store or a local farm, there’s a real Christmas tree
available for everyone.

 START YOUR NEW YEAR’S
RESOLUTION EARLY
(StatePoint) Chances are, if you’re contemplating a New to Cornell University’s Food & Brand Lab. If you can adopt

is sharing four good reasons to make a pre-New Year’s better health.
resolution.
Here are her insights to consider, and, if you add the
help of Jenny Craig’s Rapid Results, you can lose up to 16
pounds in the first four weeks (average weight loss was
11.6 pounds for those who completed the studies), making
it a great way to start an early weight loss resolution.
1: You’ll Love Your Holiday Photos. Whether work party
snapshots or the chronicling of special moments spent
with family and friends, the holidays are loaded with photo
ops. But how often have you avoided pictures because you
didn’t feel good about being in front of the camera?
“A common refrain we hear from members is that they
avoided having pictures taken of themselves because
they weren’t happy with their weight,” says Carrie Elkins,
division manager for Jenny Craig Anywhere.
By making a commitment now, you can feel healthier and
more confident during the holidays -- and have the photos
to remember those moments.
2: You’ll Be More Proactive and Procrastinate Less.
Let’s face it: If you know you want to lose weight but are
waiting until January to start, you may just be delaying
the inevitable. Waiting can set you up for procrastination,
and procrastination can actually be harmful, according to
the Association for Psychological Science, causing people
higher levels of stress and lower well-being. Resolve to
start losing weight now before the holiday madness begins
and while you have the drive.
“Motivation is key when it comes to preparing the psyche
for any important behavior change,” says Peeke.
3. Starting Now Means a Different Resolution in January.
Beginning your weight loss journey now can give you the
confidence to tackle a different resolution in January. So,
make a new New Year’s resolution! Use the motivation
gained by following through on your weight loss goal to
fuel your next challenge.
4. The Time is Right. For many Americans, the holiday
season starts with Halloween. That’s three months of
potential overindulgence. In fact, the average American
starts to gain weight around Thanksgiving, with weight
gain peaking around the December holidays or the New
Year and it can take up to five months to lose it, according
