Nutrition is more than consuming the correct combination of grains and vegetables.
This holiday soak up all the season has to offer. Accept all the gifts of life by way of hugs, laughter, prayer, music, intimacy, and fun. When you are truly fed by these primary foods(relationships, career, spirituality & physical activity), the rest of your food will take care of itself. Come January, you’ll be feeling satisfied, refreshed and fully nourished to start the new year.
This is a great article about relieving holiday stress written in 2009 by my colleague Andrea Ramirez who I admire so much. She owns a

holistic business called True Nourishment. I enjoyed it so much and the tips are timeless so I thought I would share them with you today.
Have a great stress free holiday season!

Overeating, over-planning and overspending. The end of the year, which is supposed to be a time of joy, reunion and celebration, ends up being, well, not. Here are 10 simple suggestions to help you truly celebrate and stay sane and healthy through January – and beyond.
1. Watch the sweets. It is easy to overindulge, but after the sugar high comes the sugar blues. Make a conscious effort to moderate your intake. And look for healthier dessert options. A cheap grocery store apple pie is not as satisfying as a home-baked one, full of healthy ingredients and love. If baking is not your thing, buy from a quality shop.
2. Eat with the season. There is a reason why there are so many apples, pumpkins and squashes around. Starchy vegetables and fruits deliver the right kind of carbs to keep you warm and help you cope with sugar cravings. The more satisfying your everyday diet, the less susceptible you’ll be to overeating at celebration dinners.
"Rose Payne has truly found her calling! She is generous and gentle, kind and considerate. I turned to Rose when traditional physician prescribed remedies failed. I turned to Rose when I could barely swallow water. Rose taught me everything I needed to heal, hope and get healthy and whole.
I lost more than twenty (20) pounds without dieting. On the contrary, I eat well. I take no medication. I have never felt better about myself.
Rose, when I find a way to adequately thank you, you will be the first to know.”
