Blood Sugar

Have you been enjoying the hustle and bustle, the parties and leisure time spent eating and drinking with family and friends this holiday season? Are you ready to start the new year with healthy habits as your main focus? Many people tell me that the extra weight they carry around is their main concern – they want to look better and feel better. As a nurse and a health coach I understand that what’s at stake isn’t just how our reflection looks in the mirror, it’s how our future health will be 5 or 10 years down the line. The connection between the foods we eat and the health we get to enjoy is very real. Every time that we eat or drink something it affects our internal biology for better or for worse. During the holidays we get our fill of sweets, Xmas cookies, cakes, breads, chocolates, alcohol, cheese, crackers, candies, you name it!
