The Truth About Fat
We need fat in the diet. Fat is a necessary nutrient that we cannot live without. It helps the body use vitamins A, D, E and K. Fat is necessary for healthy skin and body organs. It also helps you to feel full after eating. After a low fat meal, you will be hungrier sooner. With this in mind though, too much fat in the diet can lead to health problems such as heart disease, some types of cancer and obesity. All fats are not created equal. Knowing the difference between the types of fat can be helpful in controlling cholesterol as well as weight.

Yoga: Not Just for Flexible People
As a Yoga teacher, I’ve met many people who say things like, “I’d like to try Yoga but I’m not very flexible.” Maybe they think Yoga is only for people who are very limber and can twist themselves into pretzel-like positions. Or they think you must be able to do the poses perfectly – whatever perfect is – to even try Yoga. But nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, being too flexible is not always a good thing. Going right into a pose without focusing on the strength of the muscles often leads to injuries.
