two of my favorite things

From a Health blog http://www.thirdage.com :

"Bernadette Latson, assistant professor of clinical nutrition at University of Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, says the best way to address stress, particularly for office workers, is to get away from the computer monitor and take a brief WALK or stretch break.

Incorporating stress-fighting foods into your daily diet can also help, Latson advises.

"A bowl of warm OATMEAL will boost a calming brain chemical known as serotonin, while foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids will help keep the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline in check," Latson, a registered dietitian, says in a statement."

And what if I ate an OATMEAL snack protein bar (My favorites are Kashi and Luna brands) while taking a WALK?

Oh, and I found this article helpful too: http://www.thirdage.com/personal-growth/how-to-get-out-of-a-slump Sounds like decent common sense advice!

I eat Quaker Oatmeal to Go bars all the time... do you think they help reduce stress? I love those damned things, especially microwaved.

I need to start eating better. I like oatmeal a little bit.
I have been avoiding eating at all lately, due to being told that I could stand to loose a few pounds, by said dude that I went out with to the Steampunk event. Guys really suck. Rejection and insults all in one. -_-
