Staying Mentally Fit
by CheriAtBettyCrocker 7/21/2009 11:19:00 AM

I ran across this article recently, as I was looking for something else.  I wrote it as I was researching the Betty Crocker Cookbook for Women.  (yet another reason I am so committed to exercise--I need all the mental fitness I can get these days). Need a problem solved? Work out for 25 minutes! Physical exercise may be as healthy for your mind as it is for your body. This was the finding of a 1997 study at Middlesex University in England; participants scored higher on a creativity test after a 25-minute aerobic workout.  Physiological changes in our bodies, enhanced by exercise, such as increases in metabolism, cardiac activity and oxygen flow to the brain heighten ...

by CheriAtBettyCrocker 4/10/2009 10:19:00 AM

People often ask, "If there was just one thing I could do to help me lose wieght, what would it be?"  My answer is to pay attention to portion sizes, it's more about how much we eat than eliminating certain foods.
