Yes, already mid-February! It can be a good time for a check-in to see how we are doing or even re-setting ourselves if need be too! So as this year is a year towards wellness, I noticed something interesting and relevant in my last reading of one of my favourite magazines: Success Magazine, February 2013 issue.

What I found to be of interest and also relevant, be it for making time for us as this could be near that time of the year where we are being healthy yet are stressing that the gains are not as big as we would like them to be, or conversely on the other side of the coin where we are still catching up from the holiday season just 8ish weeks ago! The interesting article was from Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen entitled “Take a Deep Breath”. In this article there great suggestions about lifestyle tips for managing stress. The one that I really liked whats about vitamins and minerals that can help with stress. Those that were mentioned in the article are foods that contain the specific vitamins and minerlas. Those foods are:

• avocados, any type of berry, nuts (watch out for allergies), oranges, and salmon

With these foods listed, check out the next few posts starting next week for recipes with these foods!

Happy kitchening, cooking & cuisine!
