Day 3 of 12: Serve More, Eat More Veggies
Serve three vegetables with dinner tonight, instead of just one, and you’ll eat more without really trying. Greater variety tricks people into eating more food — and eating more fruits and vegetables is a great way to lose weight. The high fiber and water content fills you up with fewer calories. Cook them without added fat. And season with lemon juice and herbs rather than drowning their goodness in high-fat sauces or dressings.

Coffee For Depression?
Drinking coffee not only helps you start your day, it just might make you feel better too, according to a recent study that found that depression risk decreases with increasing caffeinated coffee consumption. How much did it take to see a difference? The women who consumed as much as 4 cups a day saw the greatest results — a risk reduction of 20 percent. “We shouldn’t rush to the conclusion that I should drink more coffee if I don’t want to be depressed.” says Dr. Scott Bea, Cleveland Clinic.
We who live in the dark, gloomy, Vitamin D deficient Pacific NorthWest have known this for decades!!! Don’t we have a coffee shop on every corner?

Induction For Convenience?
More and more births are being scheduled ‘a little early’ for non-medical reasons. Experts are learning that this can cause problems for both mom and baby. If possible, it’s best to stay pregnant at least 39 weeks.
There are lots of important things happening to your baby’s brain and lungs in the last few weeks of pregnancy… they are still growing.
Remember, this is not your birth… it’s your baby’s birth!
