What We're Reading This Month

For 2010, our goal is to read several books on skin care, natural beauty, health and wellness, and summarize the main points of the books as well as our thoughts and experience regarding the book's subject.

I got inspired the other morning listening to Daphne Oz (Dr. Oz's daughter) talk about kids going off to college and how to stay healthy and eat smart while you are away. I really found her book, The Dorm Room Diet, to be good for anyone so this was the direction I decided to take for August. This would make a great gift for someone who is heading out on their own for the first time.

Although her book says this is a diet, it's really a lifestyle change. She is teaching you how to make better decisions and I like that it's not about deprivation, it's about making the best choice.

For example, do you have cookies or a piece of your friend's birthday cake? You have the cake because there is a sentimental attachment to it - you are celebrating your friend's day. She also recommends you take the last piece of cake because it will probably be the smallest. And we all know that there are parties and social meetings galore when you go off to school.

Here are 3 quick tips that you can start doing right away:

• Drink a glass of water (or 2) right before you eat any meal.
• Try not to eat while you're distracted - i.e. not in front of the TV or computer or at a party.
• Don't eat less than 2 hours before bed time.

Daphne gives tips on how to "survive" any situation in respects to food - whether it is tailgating, Frat parties or the cafeteria, she is full of tricks to keep you healthy. I am working on incorporating some of her tips into my life as well.
