Have a Snack

Snacking is often looked on negatively, but it is not a bad thing. In fact, snacking can actually help you better control your appetite and weight.

When you allow yourself to become too hungry in between meals, you often overeat at your next meal. Eating small, healthy snacks between meals can keep you from getting overly hunger.

If you have a hard time making it from lunch to dinner, plan in an afternoon snack. A good example of a snack might be a low-fat yogurt, dried or fresh fruit, nuts, trail mix, or a granola bar.

Over Training

Is there such a thing as too much exercise? Yes!

Repeatedly performing the same exercises too often or training at high intensities with few rest days can lead to over training.

While some people think the more the merrier, excessive exercise can actually lead to decreased performance and muscle injury rather than increased strength and stamina. Other symptoms include exhaustion, prolonged recovery times, poor coordination, headaches, disturbed sleep patterns, agitation, and depression.

Brain Power

We know that exercise makes our bodies stronger, but our minds?

That's right! Research has shown that exercise can improve cognitive function. This includes increased learning, improved memory, faster reaction times, and improved ability to establish schedules and switch between tasks, or multitask.

Not only does exercise improve brain function, but it has also been shown to combat against cognitive decline, or aging of the brain.
