2. Add yogurt, whey, or dietary supplement Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) to your daily intake. 3. Drink water--lots of water! 4. Exercise--start walking and using that ab-doer you have stashed away in closet. Do any exercise you want. The important point here is to start moving. 5. Limit your calories at snack time to no more than 200-250. 6. Don’t eat for four hours prior to going to bed. If you go to bed at midnight, then don’t eat after 8pm. Never go to bed feeling full! 7. Keep a journal. This isn’t "write-down-everything-you-eat-journal." It should be a journal where you write your thoughts and feelings, successes and failures, weights and measurements. It’s your "everything-journal." You can record foods you eat if you want, but that is not sole purpose of this journal. Look for future articles where there will be more detail about aforementioned subjects. Salt intake, yogurt, water, calories, and journaling will be topics of discussion.

We know that most individuals surviving cancer will try many complementary and alternative options to lengthen their lives. But did you know that studies have shown that women surviving breast cancer can double their survival time if they are involved in a close, intimate support network? These and many other studies confirm fact that healthier relationships lead to better health, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Most of us did not learn effective interpersonal skills at home. So why do so few individuals consider relationship skills training right from start, before stress becomes chronic? Probably because we haven’t been made aware of facts. The good news is that anyone can improve their relationships through learning simple skills including active or reflective listening, conflict resolution, behavioral changes, and thought management, among others. If you want less stress, and more fun and fulfillment in your life, consider exploring options for relationship skill building. Whether relationship is past or present, personal or professional, you can make it better and get healthier in process.
