beat stress
Stress eating is an emotional response that over time becomes automatic, says Anne Wolf, RD, a registered dietitian and researcher at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. "Every time we engage in a behavior, the more we do it, the more it becomes a pattern, then it becomes a habit," says Wolf. "To tackle that habit you're going to have to learn a new habit.”
So the next time stress threatens to send you to the kitchen or nearest vending machine, fight the urge. "First feel the sensation of stress. Stop, sit down, do some deep breathing, feel it, then just see what happens," says Wolf.
It's important to stop and think about that: Are you actually hungry, or just craving food in response to stress? "What typically will happen is that the feeling will dissipate and then you realize you can let go and you don't feel that hunger any more," says Wolf. This is the pattern you have to follow and repeat until it becomes the new habit.
Stress Eating: Finding Food Alternatives
Managing your stress in healthier ways can also help keep you from responding to it by eating. Try these ideas:
Exercise. Regular exercise can help prevent stress, and exercising when you are stressed can help manage the emotion and burn calories, not pack them in. Instead of running to the kitchen, lace up your shoes and head for a run, or walk, outside.
Give yourself a break. Whatever you're doing that's causing you stress, just step away from it for a while. If you're thinking about a situation that's creating anxiety, distract yourself with a more pleasant topic.
Think positive. Come up with a plan to resolve the situation that's bothering you. Nothing beats stress more than solving the problem that's causing it.
Relax. Meditate, visualize a peaceful place, or listen to some music to calm yourself down.
Do something fun. Take an impromptu shopping trip, play a game of golf or tennis, call a friend, or watch a movie that you enjoy.
It may take some time, but you can retrain yourself to eat when you're hungry, not stressed. Learning to tell the difference between the two is your first step. Then, find another outlet instead of using food to satisfy your emotional hunger.

Boost Your Energy
Are You Getting Enough Sleep and Exercise?
Most people need about eight hours of shut-eye each night, and not getting enough sleep can certainly cause fatigue. In addition, a lack of sleep has also been linked to longevity-shortening diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Sleep aids can interfere with sleep by causing "rebound insomnia." That means that, after taking them for a while, you have trouble falling asleep without them. Over-the-counter sleep aids can leave you feeling tired even after you wake up. You should also avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco if you are having trouble sleeping.
Regular exercise fights fatigue and promotes longevity. Here are just a few of the benefits you can enjoy from exercising 30 minutes a day for at least four days a week:
Increased energy
Reduced stress
Reduced risk of premature death
Improved mental health
Reduced risk of heart disease
3 Easy Energy Boosters
Choosing healthy habits over unhealthy ones can help you decrease fatigue and better enjoy your life. Try some of these energy boosters:
Manage stress. Stress is a normal reaction to events that happen in everyone's life, but stress that goes on too long and is not managed properly is bad for your health. Some of the more common signs of stress include fatigue, depression, high blood pressure, trouble sleeping, and a loss or gain in weight. Some healthy habits that help many people manage stress include meditation, yoga, exercise, and social activities.
Get rid of high-sugar foods that overload your digestive system. You can do this by eliminating sugary foods like cookies, candies, and soft drinks. You can also substitute carbohydrates that cause a sugar rush with those that are absorbed more slowly. That means fewer potatoes, white rice, and white bread, and more whole grains, fruits, nuts, and green vegetables.
Schedule regular doctor visits. See your doctor for preventive health check-ups and don't ignore symptoms of fatigue that could be caused by a treatable or preventable disease.
Fatigue could be a warning of something that is making you sick or unhealthy — and ultimately affecting your longevity. In most cases, you can fight fatigue with a healthy diet, regular exercise, a good night's sleep, and stress reduction. But if these energy boosters don't help, talk to your doctor.

Tending your self
Excerpt from I Timothy 4: 10 - 20
"Tend to yourself and to your teaching; continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers."
Reflection by Anthony B. Robinson
Out in my neck of the woods, we've enjoyed a completely unexpected playoff run by our heretofore hapless football team, the Seattle Seahawks. I've been interested in listening to new Seahawk coach, Pete Carroll.
When asked by media about the week’s upcoming opponent, Carroll typically says something like, "It's not about them, it's about us. It's about us playing our game. We have to stay focused on our own work. We just need to play the way we’re capable of playing and the rest will take care of itself. Our focus is really ourselves."
When Paul wrote to the young pastor, Timothy, he urged something similar. "Tend to yourself," Paul advised, "and to your teaching." Paul was definitely not urging that Timothy coddle himself or be self-absorbed. He was saying, "Mind your calling and work, do those faithfully and well. That's the first order of business."
In some ways, it’s odd advice, whether for a football team or for Christians and church leaders. We want to pay attention to others, whether to an opposing team or the many needs of other people. We imagine that being Christian means being concerned only about others and their needs. And at other times we pay far too much attention to how or what other people are doing, to their advancement or income, especially when they appear to us to be doing better than we are!
More important, as Paul tells Timothy, is to focus on your own particular work, your own particular calling. "Tend to yourself," be responsible for yourself and the service to which God has called you. Pastors, tend to your work as leaders and teachers of the faith. Do your own work and leave the rest to God.
Prayer
When I become scattered, preoccupied with others, call me back, dear Lord, to your calling for me, your purpose for me. Help me to "tend to myself" in the right way. Amen.

women and alcohol
The effects of alcohol are stronger in women than in men, and women who drink too much alcohol are more likely to suffer from significant alcohol problems than men, studies show. In addition, women who have alcohol problems have higher death rates due to suicide, accidents, and other health related issues — more than twice the rate of men. Given these facts, you may be wondering: Why do women drink, and what can you do to enjoy alcohol without risks to your health?
Understanding Why Women Drink
Women drink for many of the same reasons that men drink: to relax, to gain confidence in social situations, to get to sleep, and to relieve stress.
Other reasons why women may drink alcohol include the following:
Women are more likely to drink if they have problems with a loved one.
Alcohol problems are more common in women who are unmarried, divorced, or separated.
Women whose husbands have alcohol problems are more likely to drink themselves.
Women who have been sexually abused are more likely to drink to excess.
Women may start out drinking more. Seventeen percent of ninth grade girls admit that they had more than five drinks at one time in the past month. This is a higher rate of drinking than for boys of the same age.
Alcohol Affects Women Differently Than Men
The blood alcohol level in a woman who just drank the same amount of alcohol as a man will be higher because women are usually smaller, have less water in their bodies, and metabolize alcohol more slowly than men.
This means that the brain and liver of a woman who drinks are exposed to more alcohol pound for pound than a man's brain and liver. Women who have alcohol problems may drink less than men but still experience the same level of impairment. They can also develop liver damage and other alcohol-related health problems more quickly than men, even though they may be drinking less.
Benefits of Alcohol in Women
If you are a woman over the age of 55, one drink per day may lower your risk for heart disease. Moderate drinking for a woman is defined as one alcoholic drink per day. This translates to one 5-ounce glass of wine, a 12-ounce bottle of beer, or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor.
On the other hand, women who drink beyond moderation may increase their risk of heart disease. If you are younger than 55, there may be no health benefits to alcohol consumption.
Risks of Alcohol in Women
Too much alcohol consumption clearly has risks for both men and women. Other risks to women who drink alcohol include:
Cancer: Women who drink alcohol may increase their risk of breast cancer and head and neck cancers.
Brain damage: Alcohol kills brain cells and women are more susceptible to this alcohol effect than men.
Pregnancy: Alcohol can affect a woman's ability to get pregnant. In addition, alcohol use during pregnancy can have serious harmful consequences on the unborn child. No amount of alcohol consumption is safe during pregnancy.
Victimization: Women who have alcohol problems have a higher risk of becoming victims of sexual assault or other acts of violence.
Depression and personal injury: In addition, alcohol consumption can contribute to depression, sleeping problems, heart failure, falls, and poor nutrition in women, especially older women.
Warning Signs of Alcohol Problems
If the effects of alcohol are causing problems for you or for others, you may have an alcohol problem. The risk of developing an alcohol problem is greater if you have a family history of alcoholism. Some warning signs of alcohol problems are:
Missing work or school because of drinking
Driving while impaired by alcohol
Having a strong urge to drink
Needing more alcohol than you previously did to get a pleasurable response
Finding that people who care about you are concerned about your drinking
Having more than seven drinks per week
Finding yourself drinking alone or early in the day
If you think you might have an alcohol problem, it's important to get help. Experts believe that the hardest part of getting better is admitting you have a problem. Contact Alcoholics Anonymous or talk to your doctor if you are concerned that you may have an alcohol problem.

Walk More!
Why Can’t We Just Walk More?
I was recently on the prowl for news items for my most recent column, and I came across a research study in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. It was about how Americans have fallen behind compared to many other countries in terms of walking.
According to the study, adults in western Australia, Japan and Switzerland averaged 9,695, 7,168 and 9,650 daily steps, respectively; adults in America averaged just 5,117 steps each day.
The study also pointed out that the “median weight gain in U.S. adults is 1.8 lb per year, and this type of ‘creeping weight gain’ is a serious problem.” It sure is a problem, especially considering we live into our 70s.
Simply adding 2,000 steps per day, or about 1 mile of walking, can make a huge difference. We all surely have 20 extra minutes.
America on the Move, a non-profit group actually came up with a list of 100 ways to add 2,000 steps to your day — here are the first 12. You can read all of them here.
Circle around the block when you go outside to get your mail
Walk the outside aisles of the grocery store before shopping
Walk the track at a nearby high school — four laps is roughly 2,000 steps
Make several trips up and down the stairs doing laundry or other household chores
Pass by the drive-thru window and walk into the bank or restaurant
Stroll the halls while waiting for your doctor appointment
Listen to music or books on tape while walking
Invite friends or family members to join you for a walk
Accompany your kids on their walk to school
Take your dog for a walk
Start a walking club in your community
Walk to a nearby store, post office, or dry cleaner to accomplish errands
And yes, while some of them may seem pedantic, obvious and nearly silly, it’s worth reading, digesting and thinking how you can come up with ways to increase your walking. Walking is clearly one of the simplest, easiest way to keep fit, lose weight and feel good.
Bottom line: Walking works. In fact, a study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that people who live in the suburbs — and therefore drive everywhere — weigh 6.3 pounds more than urbanites who are able to walk more in dense cities. Think about Manhattan, the heart of New York City, which has one of the lowest obesity rates in the country, and many experts attribute this to the fact that so many of its residents walk regularly.
Here are a few of my own tips:
Get creative. Parks, paths, trails — find them and use them on a regular basis. If you know where they are, map them out using mapmywalk.com or google maps. Also check out Trimbleoutdoors.com, Localhikes.com, Trails.com, Recreation.gov, and www.traillink.com for interesting walking ideas.
On rainy days, use the shopping malls — again, while window shopping you will have walked the entire mall before you know it.
Make it scenic. Even in your own area there are things to see, there is beauty or interesting things everywhere. Sightseeing is very distracting, and before you know it, you’ll have walked a few miles while discovering more about your neighborhood or even a new neighborhood.
Research shows that the more scenic your walks are, the more you’ll want to take them. Seek out the best-looking walking routes. Some parks offer trails specifically designed for hikers.
Make it practical. A common complaint is being too busy to exercise. So fit in your walking with things you need to do anyway. The dog has to get out, so why not take him for a walk? The kids need to go to school — why not walk them to the bus stop?
If it’s too far to walk all the way to the store or wherever you need to go, drive or take the bus halfway and walk the remaining distance.
Buy a pedometer. What? You don’t own one? They’re not that expensive and there is a ton of research showing how accountability works. Check out this article I wrote on pedometers and buy one today.

Depression and Exercise
Q: I've read a lot in the past few years about exercise as a valid treatment for mild to moderate depression. How much exercise should I get to help me manage depression? How does exercise help with depression in the brain?
A:
It is true that exercise has mood-lifting effects, and in several clinical trials these effects have been comparable to those of antidepressant medications. Most of the studies have evaluated relatively light programs of aerobic exercise; even brisk walking may be sufficient for some people.
Usually, these programs begin with relatively brief periods of exercise (that is, 10 or 15 minutes every other day), then increase the duration gradually over several weeks. Regular swimming sessions could serve the same purpose. The most important thing is to find a form of exercise that you like and that you can work into your schedule; the right “dose” of exercise is the one that works for a particular person!
There are several explanations for the therapeutic effects of exercise, including the so-called runner’s high, which is thought to result from endorphins (naturally occurring opiate-like substances in the brain) whose release is triggered by the activity, and a simple improvement in morale derived from initiating an active, healthy change in one’s lifestyle.
The beneficial effects of exercise should not be thought of only as an alternative to conventional forms of treatment: Although there haven’t been a lot of studies, there is every reason to believe that the addition of an aerobic exercise program can enhance the effects of a range of treatments.
