New Year’s Resolution Blog Carnival. 

Do you make any New Year's resolutions? To share the truth with you, I don't. What I believe deep in my soul, I live it (constantly reminding myself!) that each day needs our close attention. When we infuse our decision-making with emotions and feelings of the moment  where we make such, our life unfolds the gifts and unexpected encounters to celebrate.

Resolution is something that we resolve, something we liberate ourselves with.

What is it that you would like to liberate yourself with... or from? This is only you who can answer this question. Take a moment to reflect and begin this year on a more energized platform. And when you need support, just ask, and you shall receive.

Celebrate Woman Today would like to bring you an absolutely amazing giveaway to your doorstep to cheer you up!

Birthstone Family Tree

Recently, I have discovered a wonderful way to reflect on who you really have in your family tree. Often, I would ask my grandmas who's who and how we were related to such-and-such. And they would quickly provide an answer to my frequent inquiries.

To make it a bit easier, we can actually build our Family Tree. And do it in a nice and delicate way.

One of the unique ways is with an Engraved Family Tree Stand. It is elegant, with birthstones for each of the family member, and could be a great gift for anybody who would like to preserve memories and have a quick look at their ancestors. I find such creations not just a decorative thing, but part of who we are in our daily life.

Why Celebrate Woman Adores Engraved Family Tree Gift:

• Celebrates all the members of the "extended" family who came before us
• Reminds us of our roots
• Makes an excellent and thoughtful gift
• Brings versatility to our interior design

Would you like to celebrate who you are based on your family history and traditions? Well, you could do it here today! The Birth Stone Tree Company has gracefully provided two (2) $100 gift certificates for Celebrate Woman Today readers. Thank you much! There is nothing to wait for – enter this easy Rafflecopter!

Go For Foods Rich in Real Nutrition

Tweet

One more day, another chance for you to begin it with your decision to give your body, your mind, your life a huge break. Such breaks are available any time you consume foods rich in ingredients that are bio-available to your body and serve as catalysts to many chemical processes taking place 24/7.

What are those foods, you'd ask. Here are some foods and ingredients in them that will give you and your body a huge break in achieving your goals this season.

Oysters, almonds, brazil nuts, eggs, cucumber, fish, turkey, baked beans – this group of food is rich in zinc! Without zinc, your leptin levels won't be sufficient to feel full. You see, zinc is paired with hormone leptin. If you don't get enough zinc into your body, you add one more chance of disruption in your chemical reactions inside. The word is out – eat zinc-rich foods!

Bananas, salmon, chicken, spinach, hazelnuts  – these foods give you Vitamin B6 which is a huge helper in releasing glucose into the blood stream from the stored in liver glycogen. And you need that sugar to go on during your busy day! So, grab those smoothies with bananas, and chicken strips wrapped in lattice – and these foods will get you going!


Avocados, bananas, oranges, cabbage, cauliflower, tomatoes, apricots, tuna, halibut – oh, what an amazing family of foods! What a wonderful source of Potassium! If you think you don't need potassium, you are deadly wrong! Potassium is an electrolyte that has its hand in regulating our blood pressure, kidney, heart, adrenal functions, bone mass, nervous system, and muscle function. Once deficient in potassium, your body will ring all kinds of alarm systems to get it back in. Load up your diet in foods that boast in potassium.

This is for starters. But be a pro-active starter!

Your 5 Top Health Foods With... Negative Calories

Tweet

The title says it all. So, this post will be short and easy.

Mind the fact that all of these foods are water and fiber-rich!

The phrase "negative calories" refers to the fact that it takes more calories to digest these foods than to consume them.

Here's your 5 Top Health Foods With Negative Calories:

1. Celery
     •  anti-inflammatory (all diseases are some sort of inflammation in your body!)
     • cuts ovarian cancer (apigenin found in celery contributes to this quality!)
2. Lettuce, onions, greens
     • immune boosters
     • anti-inflammatory properties
3. Kelp Noodles
     • rich in minerals (made out of sea kelp)
4. Pickles, kimchi, sauerkraut
     • fermented foods are rich in prebiotics (food for your internal flora) + probiotics (good gut flora)
     • anti-inflammatory
5. Grapefruit
     • rich in antioxidants
     • naringenin in this fruit breaks up fat in liver!
Plus...
      • Sea Salt

Why Sea Salt? It has "live" ions in it! Which, in turn, contributes to your real Energy feel during the day. Ions help with supplying your blood stream with real electrolytes. You could also put a real Sea Salt into your drinking water bottle for your workouts at the gym! The do make a huge difference in your workout output.

Where to find REAL Sea Salt, not the white processed salt that claims to be "sea salt?"

Here's a link to a tremendous website that has an amazing collection of various sea salts! You will be surprised what is out there in the sea salt market!

How Hard Is It To Eat Healthily & Exercise Regularly – For Your Kids?

Tweet

How hard are you trying to influence your child to eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables? How frequently do you actually do it?

As the studies prove it, it takes about 20 times to introduce a new food item into a child's diet. With that said, if you wish your offspring to indulge in green beans, it may take at least 20 times to offer this item during her meal.

And this is not all. It takes a personal example to eat in front of your children the same foods that you would like them eat. Yep. Eat your green beans and offer them at the same meal to your precious!

One more thing to keep in mind. All the eating habits, the kids – both boys and girls – pick up from their mothers. All the exercise habits are influenced by the children's fathers.

So, if you would like this year to start on a vibrant healthy foot, do all three:

1. Offer healthy new foods to your children (as much as 20 times it takes! to be liked by the kids)
2. Consume those healthy foods at the same time when your children have their meals
3. Remind your hubby to get into a regular exercise routine, as you are being a stellar example of healthy eating to the whole family!

That's it. And a bit of your willing Effort!

Just have a spectacular 2011!
