We couldn’t be more proud of Shirley and are so happy to have her as part of Lady Fitness! In Shirley’s own words: “I signed up for the Health and Fitness challenge to lose 10 pounds before a cruise and to be accountable to someone! I loved the one-on-one personal training with Teresa; she made me “love” veggies… The more food I ate… the more weight I lost! I just shook my head in disbelief! I was also introduced to ‘My Fitness Pal’ which helped me learn a lot about calories and foods high in sugar. It was money well spent! Oh, and I lost 15 pounds not 10.” #WeightlossTestimonial #BeforeAndAfter #LadyFitness #WestHavenFitness #PleasantViewFitness #Hustle #GirlBoss #FitGirl #Fitness #FitnessMotivation #FitFam #FitnessGirl #GymLife #Healthy #FitnessAddict #Lifestyle #GirlsWhoLift

@IAmWellAndGood shows how sugar can mess with your anxiety—and what to do about it. How are sugar and anxiety related? “The problem with sugar, says hormone health educator Candace Burch, is that it causes blood sugar spikes and drops, which directly affects mood. “‘The rush of sugar leads to sugar highs, giving a lot of energy, but then the lows lead to feeling sluggish and down.’” “‘Sugar can exacerbate your feelings of anxiety because of the way our bodies respond to digesting them,’ adds Brigitte Zeitlin, RD, owner of BZ Nutrition, a New York-based nutrition practice. ‘[Sugary foods] cause your blood sugar to spike and then drop faster than they would after eating non-high-sugar-foods. This quick spike and drop causes you to feel uneasy and can even at times mimic a panic attack.’ Having low blood sugar levels can actually put the body into a stress response, which, as Zeitlin mentions, can increase anxiety.” How to keep sugar from contributing to anxiety? “One way to combat this is certainly to reduce your sugar intake, including processed foods and breads. It’s also a good idea to load up on foods low in sugar and high in fiber (think veggies, fruit like berries, and whole grains)—Zeitlin says they have a much more even effect on your blood sugar, which can help cut back on feelings of ‘increased anxiety.’ She also recommends stopping eating about two hours before you go to sleep. ‘This gives your body time to properly digest and process the food—sugary or not—and let that energy subside in time for you to actually fall asleep and stay asleep.’” “When you are eating foods higher in sugar, Burch suggests pairing it with foods higher in fiber and healthy fats. ‘This slows the absorption of sugar, preventing it from spiking blood sugar as much,’ she says, and thus making it less likely to put you in an anxiety spiral.” (Source: WellAndGood.com) #LadyFitness #WestHavenFitness #PleasantViewFitness #Hustle #GirlBoss #WellAndGood #IAmWellAndGood #SugarAndAnxiety
