From November 20 – December 31, 2019, we will be running a shoe and sock drive at Plattsville Natural Health Clinic!
During
this time of year, we want to take the opportunity to give generously to those
in need by making use of one of our amazing services – Pedorthic Care through
Danielle Molnar.
Bring
in your USED shoes that you no longer need, and our Pedorthist Danielle will
repair them where needed. Also bring in a NEW pair of socks to go with it.
Both
the USED SHOES (that have been repaired) and the NEW SOCKS will be donated to a
local homeless shelter or center for those in need.
Contact
us today for more information on how you can contribute and be a part of this
drive!
Thank you for your
generosity, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us here at PNHC!
Halloween and Healthy Eating: How to Stick to a Diet/Healthy Eating By Dr. Elisha Cook ND
For anyone trying to lose a couple of pounds or keep
healthy, Halloween can be a tricky holiday. You want to have treats available
for the ghouls and goblins visiting, but do not want to be stuck with the left-over
temptation. We recommend trying some of the below strategies to help you make
it through this tricky holiday and keep in check with your health goals
Have treats available you do not care for
Buy only the treats that you
can easily say no to or portion more easily. If you are a sugar fiend, but can
easily avoid chocolate – stick with chocolate and chocolate bars you can easily
avoid.
Consider non-edible treats
Consider offering stickers,
pencils, or other surprises for your visitors. These treats will help you to
avoid the temptation of sugary treats all together.
Offer healthy alternatives
Offering healthy alternatives
for trick-or-treaters can help you to practice moderation and resist temptation.
Some options might include Pur gum, coconut water, fruit packaged in water, or
pre-packaged trail mix.
Balance your protein and carbs
Balancing your plate with
proteins and carbs helps to keep hunger in check and keeps you from reaching
for those high sugar items to keep the energy up.
Eat regularly
During this time, avoid
fasting and stick to 3 meals per day to help keep hunger in check to avoid the
temptation of a sweet treat.
Drink enough water
Drinking enough water can curb
those cravings and keep hunger at bay, making it easier to resist temptation. When
you are tempted to have a sweet treat, drink water first.
Forgive easily and get back on track
It is important to recognize
that you are only human and it is okay to make mistakes. Do not let one missed
opportunity to do “well” set the course for the rest of the day. If you slip up
and over indulge, recognize your error, and get back on track. Set your mind to
continue to make healthy choices and to get back on track quickly.
At the end of the day, it is important to recognize that
everything should be taken in moderation. It is okay to have a treat, but not
over-do it. From all of us at Plattsville Natural Health Clinic, we want to
wish you a safe and Happy Halloween.
