Chronic stress has been recognized as a major healthcare crisis of the 21st Century. Even before the global coronavirus pandemic, the vast majority of us have been burning the candle at both ends. Unfortunately, the current situation has added more stress to our already overextended lifestyles. Unemployment rates at an all-time high, schools and businesses closed, vacations cancelled, families taking on new roles and responsibilities, financial concerns escalating, and so on. This great pause has forced us to slow down and reflex on the stressful lifestyles we were just weeks prior juggling. Now is an opportune time to work on new and improved ways to get a handle on stress. Our bodies were not designed to be in a state of chronic stress. Long term chronic...
The holiday season can be difficult for anyone trying to make healthy choices. With the added time constraints, many of us struggle with exercising, maintaining healthy sleep habits, or limiting the intake of processed and sugary foods that abound at this time of the year. The added burdens of 2020 - COVID, political and social stressors-have cracked our resolve and discipline even more. Many will be entering the holiday season with some extra padding. The pandemic lockdown has introduced bad habits into our everyday life. Many of us are entering the 2020 holiday season with an extra 10-20 pounds. Americans gain an average of 5 -10 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas and rarely lose this weight. The weight adds to the slow gain many experiences in...

The holiday season is marked by food, family and of course gifts. Gift-giving is not only a big contributor to the stress of the season but also a big contributor to trash and waste. Americans throw out 25 percent more garbage between Thanksgiving and Christmas and some of the trash includes new Christmas gifts. A little mindfulness during gift selection can not only help to reduce this waste but may also please the recipients more than that last-minute holiday tie purchase.
