hmm? drinking?

this is a great link that is less harsh for people that drink, that gives a survey and suggestions about drinking habits after you've taken the survey. I saw this on CBS news. Serious drinking problems impair a lot of things, but its also empty calories and toxins...

A lot of these foods do double duty! at this point try to remember some of those high quality foods, and eat them for snacks instead of "snack foods"
:) enjoy

Feeling hungry?
There are many studies that show what happen to the brain when we exercise, but what happens when we eat? Everyone's heard of women who run to chocolate to comfort them, but besides high fat, high sugar foods, there are some that are mood lifters. Another common example are cranky children who need a snack.In general, whole grain foods and a good breakfast will always help maintain a constant blood sugar level which aids in maintaining a good mood!
When you treat your body with respect, and take care of what you put into it, you feel better about yourself!

news from the BBC on how global warming, supermarkets and producers' impact on food may need to be adjusted for the future. This says a lot for the UK,but can also be seen in the USA, where we have places in the CA central valley that have no residential water limits, but then can't water their crops, also draining water needed for crops in Northern CA.

This is your brain on...

One of my favorite KQED fundraisers, Dr Amen, shows brain scans and tells people what to eat/not eat and methods to help their neuroanatomy. Below is a link to brain scans of people on and off alcohol/drugs. During one of his segments called "your brain on love" he was discussing the behavoirs of a person who drinks a lot, and how it affects their relationships with others. I vote for a healthy brain. I also like what he lectures because one of his top recommendations for brain health is exercise! true story
