Stress Reduction Tip of the Week - Make Love
You’re going to love this week’s suggestion: Make love. It made the cover of Time Magazine: How Your Love Life Keeps You Healthy. It boosts your heart spiritually and physically, relieves pain and raises immunoglobins. Sex is aerobically heart smart and burns about 200 calories. During peak arousal the body releases endorphins and corticosteroids temporarily numbing the pain of migraines, arthritis, etc. Making love increases longevity, lowers depression and anxiety and frequent sexual activity has been tied to lower the risk of breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.

Food of the Week - Dried Plums
Dried plums are rich in anti-oxidants, minerals and high in fiber. Five of them constitute a nutritious serving. They will help you be heart smart and keep your bones strong. They have no fat or sodium and can be taken anywhere. Toss them in a drawer at work or in your gym bag for a great pick me up. Serve with cheese, nuts, or toss in salads or stir fry them in a wok with other vegetables and chicken. Children like them stuffed with peanut butter.
