Happy Thanksgiving

With all the wonderful holiday traditions and associations with family and friends, let's not forget the fantastic health benefits we can glean from this time of Thanksgiving.

Turkey is a terrific source of healthy protein. According to Wholefoods.com;
"A four ounce serving provides 65.1% of the daily value for protein, along with 11.9% of the daily value for saturated fat, about half the amount of saturated fat found in red meat."

Turkey is also a good source of the trace mineral, selenium, which contributes to "thyroid hormone metabolism, antioxidant defense systems, and immune function." It also has been shown to help with cell repair and may contribute to cancer prevention. So eat lots of turkey and save some for later meals!

Turkey's not the only thing good for you. With over 200 varieties in the US, yams are a great source of vitamin B6 and potassium and fiber! Wholefoods reports "Yams' complex carbohydrates and fiber deliver the goods gradually, slowing the rate at which their sugars are released and absorbed into the bloodstream. In addition, because they're rich in fiber, yams fill you up without filling out your hips and waistline."

Combine yams with Bios Life Slim, and you'll really show your body how to control the sugars it releases. Yams have also been shown to help with menopausal systems. (Read more)

Let's not forget cranberries! The Cranberry Institute reminds us that they are loaded with anti-oxidants! "Recent scientific research shows that cranberries and cranberry products contain significant amounts of antioxidants and other phytonutrients that may help protect against heart disease, cancer and other diseases."

These aren't the only healthy foods in the Thanksgiving feast, so post your comments about other healthy foods you are eating this season.

Women Need Networking

Last Tuesday I went home with a case of the stomach flu. I spent the next three days as a kind of hermit, connecting with the world only through phone lines and internet connections. Friday I came back into the office rejoicing! I can talk to people face to face, connect with them and feel like a human being. I realized how much I need networking and social interaction and I would think many women and men need the same.

One of the unique beauties of this business is the opportunities it provides to create meaningful networks. Not only do we share products that improve health, but we get to interact with people on a personal, face-to-face level and create networks. Just another way that Unicity helps to Make Life Better, in my opinion.

Election Day tomorrow!

If you are a citizen of the United States, tomorrow November 3, 2009 is your election day! No national elections to race to the polls for, but local elections are around and just as, if not more important.

Why vote in local elections?

• Your vote really counts. With a smaller population putting in their say, your vote can really make a difference on who gets elected.
• Local officials make decisions on important items such as snow removal, garbage pick-up, recycling and in short, how each city is managed.
  
• Local officials are also responsible for public safety laws and enforcement of them.
  

I found a website that's awesome for helping us find where our local election offices are, who the current national and state elected officials are and more. Project Vote Smart

You can also visit Smart Voter - a site run by the League of Women Voters which will also help you find voting information.

Make Life Better and participate in your local elections tomorrow.
