9 To help your brain to operate at peak performance it is important to The Positive Pulse With Laura Vollink, RD LD, Chartwells Dietitian Balanced U: Brain Boosters fuel it with the right types of foods. Food can play a major role in how well we comprehend, retain, and recall information. Although there is no one food that claims to increase concentration or build memory, eating a balanced diet can help enhance learning and maximize brain function. Brains use a lot of energy and need a constant supply of fuel. Water and fats also play critical roles by providing the insulation and fluid needed to conduct signals between nerve endings. To help incorporate all of these essential elements in your diet here are some tips to follow and foods to include: Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables. Dark colored fruits and veggies are important because they contain antioxidants. These compounds help keep your brain in top form by fighting off free radicals that can damage brain cells. Make half of your grains whole. Whole grains are digested more slowly than refined grains thus providing your brain a steady energy supply rather than a sudden gush. Vary your proteins to include fish and nuts. These provide Omega-3 fatty acids that are good for your heart and your brain. These good fats provide protection for nerve endings in your brain and allow you to connect your thoughts more effectively. Stay hydrated. Our brains contain a lot of water. Even being just slightly dehydrated can cloud our thoughts and interfere with comprehension. Balanced Bite Enjoy your favorite holiday foods and treats, but limit your portion size. By eating smaller portions you can savor each bite and your pants will still fit on New Year s Eve!

Toss gently to evenly dress the salad. Serve with your leftovers from Turkey Day. Yields 4-6 servings Laura is a registered, licensed Chartwells dietitian.

11 Building Healthy Holiday Habits What s holding you back this holiday season? Rather treats at holiday parties are calling your name, you are exercising less due to cold weather, or those gingerbread men are too good to have just one; stay in control this holiday season! The good news is that the holidays don t have to mean weight gain. By focusing on a balance of food, activity, and fun, you can enjoy your friends and family without creating excess fat! Here are a few tips to help: Take the focus off food. Turn cookie and candy making time into non-edible craft time like wreath decorating or making Christmas ornaments. Plan time for exercise. Exercising will help relieve holiday stress, take your mind of what is in the cookie jar, and help to keep you from over-eating. It can be as simple as calling a friend and asking them to go on walk. Don t skip meals. When you skip meals, you are more likely to overindulge at your holiday gathering rather than save any calories. Try eating a light snack of raw carrots or a piece of fruit before going to a party. Eat until you are satisfied, not stuffed. A great trick is to fill and eat your plate but wait 20 minutes before getting seconds. This allows your body enough time to tell your brain you are full. Practice Healthy Holiday Cooking. Preparing favorite dishes lower in fat and calories will help promote healthy holiday eating. Try using margarine instead of butter and reduced sodium broth. Instead of using a whole egg, try to use two egg whites to cut down on cholesterol. Add in more vegetables as these little gems are packed with nutrients but add few calories to dishes.
