Every year on January 2, millions of Americans go on diets. Whether it’s part of a New Year’s resolution or an antidote to six weeks of holiday eating, the January diet is as American as the Christmas binge.
But most people who gain between a half-pound and a pound during the holidays don’t successfully lose the weight and keep it off.
It might be because many Americans don’t exercise regularly, and the cold, dark winter months can be a tough time to stay motivated on a new fitness plan. But don’t let the frosty weather and short days keep you inside.
A winter exercise plan is a great tool for weight and mood management.

Potato Cauliflower Soup
What a great way to warm your bones when winter winds whistle around your house! And this low-cholesterol soup takes just 15 minutes to prepare. With the potatoes, get plenty of vitamin C, potassium and fiber. And cauliflower, which peaks this time of year through March, contains disease-fighting compounds, such as vitamin C, folate, fiber and other nutrients.

Health Term Definition

Hypothermia & Cold Temperature Exposure
Hypothermia occurs when the body gets cold and loses heat faster than the body can make it. A normal rectal body temperature ranges from 97.6 °F(36.4 °C) to 99.6 °F(37.6 °C) and for most people is 98.6 °F(37 °C).
Sometimes a normal, healthy adult has a low body temperature, such as 96 °F(35.6 °C). If the person with the low body temperature is not ill, does not have any other problems, and is not an infant or an older adult, then evaluation usually is not needed.

Spotlight On
|
|
Cauliflower
One of the milder members of the cabbage family, cauliflower is closely related to broccoli and native to the Mediterranean region. Cauliflower has high levels of pectin, the gel-like substance found in plant cell walls, and when pureed, becomes creamy and voluptuous without any added fat.
Pureed cauliflower is also delicious when blended with spinach or butternut squash for a smooth, satisfying, low-calorie soup.

The size of your abdomen may better predict your risk of heart disease than your overall body size. Women with the largest amount of abdominal fat suffered a 44-percent higher risk for heart disease than the skinniest women, while men with the largest abdomens were 42 percent more likely to develop heart problems, according to a study by Kaiser Permanente of Northern California in Oakland.

Full Steam Ahead for a Tasty New Year
The festivities are officially over, and most of us will are paying the sins of holiday overindulgence - too many second helpings of rich, fatty foods, pastries and chocolate. Enough!
The good news is that mending your ways doesn't mean cutting flavor. In fact, steaming food is a good way to retain flavor, color and nutrients, plus create a festive-looking, weight-conscious entree.

Holiday Foods Are Good All Year Long
I am struck by the health benefits found in so many of the foods associated with the holidays.
In fact, cranberries, sweet potatoes, nuts, chocolate, and even this milk shake made out of pumpkins, all deserve a place at the table throughout the year.
