March 1-6 KEEP OFF THE WEIGHT YOU LOSE.pdf You’ve shed those unhealthy extra pounds time and time again. Yet no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to sustain lasting weight loss. It’s not that complex. It doesn’t require a major overhaul in personality. It takes living each day with a conscious awareness. There are places where you need to do more nurturing or out-letting of stress. This needs to be done in a healthy way rather than an unhealthy way, such as overeating.

March 8-13 BENEFITS OF TELLING THE TRUTH.pdf - Many people who lie give themselves away by their body language. This is not always the case, but it does apply to most people. Habitual liars, or people with no conscience are so used to lying that they begin to believe themselves. They may not display the gestures of a lair. People with some sense of integrity will unconsciously express guilt with their body movements when they lie. It is similar to the statue of the three wise monkeys who "Speak no evil," "See no evil," or "Hear no evil."

Sleeplessness is one of the most common health complaints, and one of the most serious. It affects a myriad of biological activities, including metabolism, immunity, cognitive function, weight gain, and adrenal, neurotransmitter, and hormonal balance.

Feb 22-27 Bottled Water Safety.pdf - Both single-use and reusable water bottles should be thoroughly cleaned and dried between uses. Reusable water bottles generally have wider mouths, making them easier to clean. Dishwashing soap and hot water are acceptable to use for cleaning your water bottle. The risks of bacterial and fungal growth are higher if you use the bottle with a drink that contains sugars. Immediately drain, rinse, and wash your water bottle after your walk if you use it with sports drinks or juices..
