Healthy eating trends, healthy aging

Today the topic is about healthy eating and what fuels people who are on board with current food and healthy aging trends. It seems that more people are becoming aware of healthy or clean eating. Television programs feature more cooking shows, with particular emphasis on using healthy ingredients with specific health benefits. Being active, pro-active with fitness is encouraged in magazines, and on daytime talk shows. More restaurants feature whole wheat versus white flour pastas and breads and substitute more natural sweets mixed in with the old stand by’s. Fruits, vegetables and lean meats are on more plates, organics available wherever you shop. Popular culture (more…)

Resolve Your New Year!

You may be thinking that the holiday's are finally here, perhaps can't believe they are in full-swing already! With all the build-up, effort, social obligations, expectations and emotions associated with "the holidays", it can be quite stressful and exhausting. Christmas and Chanukkah, sometimes Kwanza are well-advertised, creep into our consciousness since Thanksgiving; Madison Avenue's onslaught can not be avoided. The  effects of "the holidays" remain a part of you, perpetually engrained well-after the New Year. So what do you do with the…

Giving During Tough Times!

Gift-giving during tough times, especially holiday times can be a tough deal! Let’s face it, everyone’s strapped, the economy’s suffering, people have less to spend, it’s harder to make a buck. You want to give as much as you can, your budget may be limited and telling you otherwise. Cost of living is higher, food, gas, higher education are at all-time highs. People are working harder, changing careers and trying to survive in a down-economy. Personal and business obligations take over and there’s less to go around. The thought of over gift-giving can be a daunting proposition, for some. For others, holiday gift-giving is (more…)

De-Stress Your Holidays with Nina!

How are you feeling as you experience this holiday season? It’s perfectly normal to experience stress, overwhelm, social pressure, some emotional up’s and down’s, decreased productivity, burn-out and the “holiday blues” during this time.

Stress in itself comes from a variety of stressors, big life events or a series of smaller events and issues calling for your attention. Typically, stress comes from outside sources beyond your control. Your reaction to stress is largely (more…)

For Your Well-Fare!

When you think about wellness and work-life balance, what comes to mind? In past decades health, wellness and beauty were perceived to be enjoyed largely by ego-driven narcissists, health club enthusiasts, athletes, and for celebrities in the public eye.  Being a “gym rat” took on its own meaning and still does to this day with a slightly different slant, more positive and socially accepted now. Those who watched their calories, ate carefully and intentionally were in the minority, maybe seen as a little extreme in some cases, at least to the mass majority. Wonderful now (more…)

Find Light in the Darkness!

The day’s murky grey color and softened quasi-rainy dampness makes me think of how you can see and work with dreary relationships and still find a place of comfort and peace. Depending on your point of view you can learn to manage a difficult relative, boss, co-worker, ex and other difficult people in your life and still enjoy the day! It really depends upon your point of view. Essentially it comes down to what you focus on, what you resonate with and what direction you choose to go.

You go through the reality of the day and what appears before you, it may feel dark and chilly at first. You then realize that (more…)
