2. NUTRITION NEWS YOU CAN USE
A Hidden Benefit of Cold Winters--It May Induce Weight Loss
New evidence suggests that regular exposure to cold air may contribute to weight loss, because people expend five times more energy when shivering than when they are resting. Researchers at the Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands found that subjects spending six hours a day at 59 degrees for 10 days, had more brown fat than controls who were exposed to warmer temperatures. (Brown fat burns energy, rather than storing it.) The researchers advocate "temperature training" as a healthy sustainable alternative strategy for increasing energy expenditures.
ACTION STEPS: Help your patients become more knowledgeable about different types of effective weight loss strategies. When you enter the keyword "weight control" in the search field at www.easyCPEcredits.com you will find 17 different CPE programs on this topic.

4. HOW TO CONQUEOR STRESS--PART II
By Wolf J. Rinke, PhD, RDN, CSP
Once you have mastered the most powerful stress control system of all time:
--Change the changeable
--Accept the unchangeable
--Remove yourself from the unacceptable;
which I shared with you in my previous eNewsletter (need link here) you will be ready for 15 specific strategies to help you kiss stress goodbye:
1. Hang Out With Positive People
Negative people drain your battery. Positive people charge your battery. So minimize the time you are together with "stinking thinking" people.
2. Recognize That You Are Not Your Job
Although we define much of who we are by what we do, you are a lot more than your job. You get paid what you are worth in the market place, based on supply and demand, not based on who you are. Getting little pay does not mean that you are not a worthy person. In fact, you may be the most worthy human being on this planet.
3. Get Your Life in Balance
If you're experiencing problems at home and at work, you'll accelerate the burnout process. So think creatively, and develop a strategy for balancing personal and professional demands. For example, if you know you'll be working late all week, arrange to meet your family for dinner one of those evenings at a nearby restaurant or plan a weekend outing. Recognize that the most important things in life are relationships--not stuff! So make time for the real important things in your life: your spouse, your children, your parents and your friends.
4. Cut the Electronic Umbilical Cord
Too many of us simply no longer know how to recreate. When we leave work to go home or on a vacation, we not only take work with us, we are still tied into the office, via e-mail, cell phone, and other electronic gadgets. Discipline yourself to turn those things off. (You are not nearly as important as you think you are.) Better yet, don't even give out your cell phone number. I use mine only for bona-fide emergencies. Also, leave work at work, so that you can set aside time to relax and recharge--recreateyourself.
5. Reduce Your Commuting Time
If you are commuting more than one hour a day it's time to move or get another job. One hour a day means that you are wasting about 30 working days per year. Plus, you are already stressed by the time you get to work. If you must commute, get in the habit of listening to motivational and educational CDs--it will reduce your perceived commuting time dramatically.
6. Find A Boss Who Knows How To MBA--Manage By Appreciation
If you report to a toxic boss, someone who constantly "builds you down," or who practices Seagull management, it's time to look for a new boss, or at least stay away from your current boss as much as you can. (Seagull management is when the boss flies in, makes a lot of noise, eats your lunch, craps on you and flies out. [Finally I got you to laugh.]) If you are a manager and the shoe fits, you owe it to yourself to devour my powerful book or CD album: "Winning Management: 6 Fail-Safe Strategies for Building High-Performance Organizations." Both formats are approved for CPEUs, see http://www.wolfrinke.com/CEFILES/cemgt.html.
7. Move Your Body
We've made our lives too simple. Make yours more difficult by parking in the farthest spot on the parking lot, taking the stairs, standing at your desk, walking to the store, conducting meetings while walking, and so on.

6. HUMOR BREAK
Senior Thoughts
Now that I'm older here's what I've discovered:
1. I started with nothing, and I still have most of it.
2. My wild oats are mostly eaten with prunes and all-bran.
3. I finally got my head together. Now my body is falling apart.
6. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it?
7. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.
8. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.
9. The world only beats a path to your door when you're in the bathroom.
10. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he'd have put them on my knees.
11. When I'm finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess.
12. It's not hard to meet expenses . . . they're everywhere.
