Tips to avoid unconscious eating this holiday season.
Think "Time" when eating.
- Take time before indulging to show gratitude
- Take time to check in with yourself and pay attention to your fullness cues: Are you still hungry or are you satisfied?
- Take the time to be choosy with the food on the table. If it's something you normally don't have, it's okay; just remember to savor it! It's what you choose to eat every day that counts.
The Holidays can still be a time to select healthier alternatives like vegetables from a Snowman Veggie Tray or a colorful fruit salad!

Ways to handle stress for your health.
Continued stress can affect your health. Take 10-20 minutes to quietly reflect and relax daily. For more information on tips to help such as breathing exercises and practicing mindfulness, click below.
Make sure you don't lack sleep.
How Much Sleep is Recommended for Each Age Group?
The National Sleep Foundation’s recommendations for nightly sleep are broken down into nine age groups.
The National Sleep Foundation’s recommendations for nightly sleep are broken down into nine age groups.
How Much Sleep Do You Need?
The National Sleep Foundation guidelines serve as a rule-of-thumb for how much sleep children and adults need while acknowledging that the ideal amount of sleep can vary from person to person.
For that reason, the guidelines list a range of hours for each age group. The recommendations also acknowledge that, for some people with unique circumstances, there’s some wiggle room on either side of the range for “acceptable,” though still not optimal, amount of sleep.
Deciding how much sleep you need means considering your overall health, daily activities, and typical sleep patterns. Some questions that you help assess your individual sleep needs include:
- Are you productive, healthy, and happy on seven hours of sleep? Or have you noticed that you require more hours of sleep to get into high gear?
- Do you have coexisting health issues? Are you at higher risk for any disease?
- Do you have a high level of daily energy expenditure? Do you frequently play sports or work in a labor-intensive job?
- Do your daily activities require alertness to do them safely? Do you drive every day and/or operate heavy machinery? Do you ever feel sleepy when doing these activities?
- Are you experiencing or do you have a history of sleeping problems?
- Do you depend on caffeine to get you through the day?
- When you have an open schedule, do you sleep more than you do on a typical workday?

Get ready Alaska Teens!
Your team of astronauts is stranded on Mars. Your supplies are dwindling. How will you survive, and how will you return to Earth?
