permission to indulge. Indulge in all of the food that’s available from Halloween right up
until New Year’s day.

more than just expand your waistline, it also increases depression and blue moods.

in gravy and sweet beverages not only blocks blood flow to the heart, but to the brain
as well.

nutrients that are critical to balancing the hormonal systems that govern
emotional well-being.
