Winter …The Perfect Time to Take Time for You
By Joanne O'Day
Have you been feeling a little sensitive lately?
Winter can do that to you. This season is nature’s time for quiet and rest. And so, this season lends itself as a time when you may find yourself doing some self-reflection. December 21st is the winter solstice, the first day of winter, the shortest day and longest night of the year. The cold and icy days of winter also provide us with the perfect opportunity to spend more time at home with family and friends. Sure, there’s the hustle and bustle of the holidays to enjoy but then it’s a time for finding your inner balance. This is the perfect time to take time for you, a time for self-care.
Is eating healthier or losing weight one of your New Year’s resolutions?
For many, it is. However, eating healthier or losing weight should not mean dieting. Sure, you may have tried diets. You probably were very motivated and managed to do well dieting for a few weeks or even months. However, most diets leave you feeling deprived so you have to rely on your willpower to stick to them. Relying on willpower and feeling deprived does not lead to long-term success. In other words, you eventually go back to your old ways of eating and gain back the pounds you lost and then some!
What is the alternative to dieting?
The alternative is to gain a new understanding about the importance of nourishing whole foods and to learn about the chemicalized junk foods that are contributing to existing weight and health problems. When your food changes, then everything changes. Food is information to your body. What you put in your mouth goes into your body, into your cells and sets the stage for how your cells will function. The key is to provide your body with the nutrition it needs so that it will be strong and healthy. And yes, the weight will come off. Your body wants to be in balance. It has a tremendous capacity for healing and you will move in that direction once you provide your body with the essential nutrients and building blocks it needs.
How do you take the first step towards weight loss and better health?

Joanne E. O’Day is founder and director of Basic Health Sense.
She is a graduate of The Institute of Integrative Nutrition in New York City, a Certified Health Counselor and member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. Joanne is also a licensed social worker and nursing home administrator.
“The seeds for my interest in health counseling began long ago. Being a nursing home administrator and social worker for over thirty years gave me the unique opportunity to learn from the many elders who shared their life story with me. I consider myself extremely blessed to have experienced the “wisdom of the ages”. The elders have shown me by example that life truly is what we make it. The controls for the life we desire are in our hands. At the end of our days when we look back on life, it is how we have lived our life that is most important. It’s up to us to experience our life to the fullest and of course, good health is key.”
