Take Care of Yourself

It is so good to be back on the blog. It's been a few days. I want to tell you about my experience over the past weekend.

I attended a conference in Atlanta, Georgia, where the conference centered around cardiovascular disease. At the conference, it was driven home again and again that we need to take care of ourselves. Although the conference was aimed at African Americans, the information can and is applied to everyone.

It is so important to take care of yourself. Everyday you are able to wake up, get up and do things on your own is definitely a blessing. There is a renered drive to get people to pay attention to food labels and learn how to properly read them and apply them to our eating habits. Also, exercising is being stressed more and more. I believe that in these trying times, we all need to do something to help ourselves out. We need to do something to relieve stress and we have to be careful that we do not find ourselves eating into happiness.

Why not make a decision to do just one thing this week that is different and helps your health. Eat some baked chicken, rather than fried. You know the routine so I don't have to put it down here (smile).

I wish each of you good eating and good health.
