Being Mindful During Brain Awareness Week
March 11th – 17th, 2024 is Brain Awareness Week and, compared to other days or weeks dedicated to great causes, this week is one of the most important for many reasons. While many kick off the new year with dedication to exercise or learning a new skill, many forget that behind the scenes, for everything involved with being human, it’s our brain that makes it all happen. A healthy, stimulated and ultimately rested brain that’s kept in optimal condition, will reap the benefits of having peak use throughout our life.
Understanding Processed Food Addiction
February is National Snack Food Month, but that doesn’t mean that we’re suggesting you run out and celebrate with your favorite chips, crackers and cookies. This is a month for awareness about how these addicting snacks are triggering compulsive thoughts, adding pounds and leading us back to the cupboard over and over. The consumer-targeted snacks that we love, strategically developed by food scientists and engineers, can act powerfully like a drug, and many snack favorites are widely misunderstood due to the packaging and advertising which are often intentionally misleading.

Learning More About the Gluten-Free Lifestyle
One commonly discussed topic is gluten, which is a collective of proteins found in grains, including wheat, rye and barley.

How to Balance Foods and Sweets This Holiday Season
The Conundrum
With the holiday season now in full swing, one thing we can count on is an overabundance of food including high glycemic baked goods, candy and other sweets available at our fingertips. On the heels of Thanksgiving, the end-of-year gluttony begins and puts us in the mindset of eating more than usual.

In the spirit of the holidays, how do we balance our desire to celebrate with maintaining a healthy weight?
Today Is World Food Day – Let’s Talk About Healthy Foods and Weight Loss
World Food Day:
World Food Day is October 16 which celebrates the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Over the decades, the organization has gained worldwide awareness for providing an education on improving diets with the overall goal of eradicating hunger by 2030 (UN News, 2018). Our team finds this day to be important, as we stress the significance of a healthy diet to live a healthy, fulfilling life. However, there has been paradoxical consequences of these efforts. According to the World Health Organization, “Most of the world’s population live in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than being underweight.”2
