Christmas and the festive season has been known to expand many a waist size but it doesn't need to be that way. The Best You gives you some tips to get through the holidays without a crash diet in January.
➊ Don't go to a party hungry. Christmas parties have lots of delicious-yet-fatty treats. Eat before you arrive and the temptation to hog down mince pies won't be so hard to resist.
➋ Watch your portion. Sure, drink and feast on all those yummy pastries and sugary snacks, but go for smaller portions. This way you get to try everything without going overboard.
➌ Think about what you are eating, especially high fatty foods. Yes, it is Christmas time but calories don't take a holiday.
➍ Drink plenty of water. Not only because alcohol, coffee and caffeinated soft drinks dehydrate your body - but also because drinking water can give you a feeling of fullness, making you less likely to fi ll up on high-calorie treats.
➎ Get out and take a walk. Enjoy the company of your family and friends by going for a wander and pre-empt the New Year's weight-scales shock.
#christmas #TheBestYou GOOD NEWS Innovation in the World
of Innovation A new technology graduate school in New York has come up with a fantastic innovation for its students that will smooth the path between research and entrepreneurship. As well as offering great classes,
Cornell NYC Tech applied school has a US Patent and Trademark Offi cer as a member of staff, and the school is set to enrol its fi rst class next year. In a step that brings innovation to the innovators, the 'innovation and outreach coordinator' at Cornell NYC Tech is a novel effort to help innovators on campus— and in the city at large—get advice on capitalizing on their ideas. The intention is to "tear down the walls
between university research and the federal support that has the power to help move that research from the lab to the marketplace." The staffer may consult one-to-one
and give classes on such topics as how to best write a patent application, what fi nancial help might be available and what commercial strategy to pursue. It's a great way to foster and nurture the next generation of innovators!
