Greetings!
Happy, Happy Holidays!
We have a "happy" and a "holiday" article for you this month.
Also, be sure to go through your closets and find any old winter coats, blankets, sweaters, etc. We are collecting warm winter clothing for a local homeless shelter and will be accepting donations all this month!
Happy, Happy Holidays!

Happiness really IS contagious!
|
So often medical research is depressing, uninspiring, and boring. But new research published in the British Medical Journal on December 4, 2008, is anything but the norm.
This new research shows that people's happiness is truly contagious! The analysis of over 4000 people showed that when one person becomes happy, a friend living within a mile is 25% more likely to also feel happy. A spouse is 8% more likely to feel happy, a sibling 14%, and a next door neighbor, 34%.
The most surprising was that of indirect relationships. Not only does your happiness increase the chance your friend will be happy, but your friend's friend has a 10% chance of increased happiness, and a friend of that friend's friend (3 degree separation from the original happy person) is over 5% more likely to feel happy!
So, as you go out in the world this holiday season...
"Smile, and the whole world smiles with you!" |
Healthy Holiday Eating
|
|
The sheer amount of yummy food available this month is incredible. Home baked goodies, office parties, grandma's holiday feast, food given as gifts, candy on display as decoration...it's everywhere, and it's very tempting to eat all of it! And for most of us, we tend to gain a little (or a lot) of weight between November 23 and the New Year. Not to mention all the sugar and treats can lower our immune systems, making it harder to think clearly, and create general sluggishness.
Read on for some of our favorite strategies for staying healthy during the holidays. |
