What am I giving out this Halloween? Amazon Herb capsules. Let the parents try to figure that one out... | | We have mastered the economics of delivering nutritionally devoid calories to a nutritionally ignorant population, and we've even managed to wrap holidays around the whole consumption racket, forever imprinting each subsequent generation of children with the belief that Halloween = Candy, Thanksgiving = Turkey and Christmas = Cookies.
This holiday season, be amazed. Look around at what's happening with the eyes of a visitor from outer space (someone who has no knowledge of our bizarre customs and holidays). Then ask yourself: What the heck is behind all this? | | I only hope that you, as a skeptical consumer, join me in celebrating these holidays for their true, non-commercial purposes, and avoid being suckered into spending your money on candies and trinkets that have no real purpose other than to enrich the commercial entities that have essentially hijacked our sacred holidays and turned them into mass consumer stampedes towards disease and bankruptcy.

Let the parents try to figure that one out... | | Look around at what's happening with the eyes of a visitor from outer space (someone who has no knowledge of our bizarre customs and holidays). Then ask yourself: What the heck is behind all this?
The answer, of course, is the same thing that's behind everything else in this country, from politics to medicine: The Corporation. Halloween is big business. So is Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and every other holiday. | | All the food, candy and sodas that are going to be consumed over the next several holidays have already been made in a factory, stored in a warehouse, shipped on a truck and loaded onto store shelves, just waiting for hungry, gullible consumers to come along and shovel down their own share of processed food additives and refined sugar derivatives.
There's a kind of sick beauty in the whole thing. I'm always struck by the idea that we must actually be the wealthiest people in the world, because we have so much "food" around here that people are actually just giving it away for free. |

See book keywords and concepts |  On average, people gain a little more than one pound of weight during the holidays. But 20 percent of people gain between two and five pounds over the holidays, and 10 percent put on more than five pounds. In most cases, people do not lose this weight during the following spring or fall. It just adds up year after year.
Of course, these extra calories—think sugary and carb-rich foods— are above and beyond the regular huge portions that people eat on most days. Researchers have also found that people tend to eat substantially more on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and celebratory days (e.g. |
Dawson Church
See book keywords and concepts |  The same applies to spirituality At last Easter's sermon, attendance at my church was dramatically greater than usual, as is typical for holidays. Starting his sermon, the minister laughed and said, "Now I'm going to talk to all of you that I last talked to last Easter, and won't see again till next year."
Going to church on holidays is a symptom of seeing worship as an event. A daily prayer practice is a process that enfolds every event of the day It is in these regular daily choices that new quantum potentials are activated. |

However, if these episodes lead to gains that are not fully offset by subsequent losses, they, too, could lead to apparent incremental weight gain. Indeed, there is evidence supporting this pattern. In one trial, 195 adults were weighed four times at intervals of 6 to 8 weeks before, during, and following the winter holidays as well as approximately 1 year from the first weighing [6]. |

Nutritionist Somer also recommends using anise, cardamom, mace (the fibrous covering on the nutmeg seed, which is available ground), mint, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, and others to enhance, season, or flavor sauces and stews, as well as to spice up such foods as winter squash, soups, poultry, fish, salads, broccoli, cucumbers, and grains. |

All these excuses seek to justify continued behaviour which is, when expressed in collective terms, highly destructive.

Pause for a moment for editorial comment.
Years ago, when I was a "blond," I was having my hair bleached one day, and let me tell you, it burned. The hairdresser said, "Hey, let me put some sugar or Sweet'N Low on it; it takes away the burn." My reaction: Huh? Until she put it on. It was like magic. No burn, soothing as aloe vera gel. |

See book keywords and concepts |  We've probably all experienced putting on a few extra pounds, especially around the holidays. This is usually a benign sign of lack of restraint around the buffet table. But sudden weight gain can also signal some serious and not-so-serious systemic problems.
Putting on weight in a matter of a day or two can be due to fluid retention (edema). Many women notice that both their breasts and bellies bloat as they retain water just before

See book keywords and concepts | | The crisis caused a political furore as people accused politicians and municipal administrators of being more concerned with their long August holidays than with saving lives in the capital. Estimates vary, but across Europe as a whole, between 22,000 and 35,000 people are thought to have died.
The heatwave and drought also devastated the agricultural sector: crop losses totalled around $12 billion, whilst forest fires in Portugal caused another $1.5 billion of damage. |

See book keywords and concepts |  These little pound-packing events include vacations, holidays, travel, parties, relationship breakups, colds, moving or just about any situation that takes you out of your normal daily routine or involves stress. Since people are creatures of habit, it only makes sense that creating a routine of healthy eating and moderate exercise will improve your health and help you manage your weight. When this routine is broken, things can spiral out of control very quickly. |
Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  When it comes to your brain, stress acts as a massive amount of noise in your system-only it comes in the form of nagging tasks, job dissatisfaction, bills, and fights about who's going to which family's house for the holidays. Oy. One of the keys to having a healthy mind is to live as much as you can in the moment; that is, thinking about what you're doing right now, not worrying about the mistakes you made yesterday or the headaches that await you tomorrow. That actually helps reduce the noise in the system. |
