Have you ever found yourself reaching for the fridge during your down time? A survey by the Priory Group in the U.K. found that more people ate when bored than when stressed.
Water you talking about?
The human body is 50-75 percent water, depending on a person's age. Sure, you’ve probably heard something like that in grade school, but think about it. It goes a long way towards explaining why water is so important to us mostly liquid beings. In general, if we should lose more than 3 percent of our water content, we become dehydrated. If we lose 20 percent of our water content we won’t just dry up like a piece of toast, we’ll probably cease to exist. So how do you keep from depleting your body’s precious water supply? Drink at least 8 eight-ounce glasses of water each day. IF YOU MUST BUY HEELS, try to buy short, chunky heels with plenty of room for your toes. Lower heels usually give you more stability, better shock absorption and greater comfort.

Boots made for walking
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse6 found that casual and comfortable clothing workdays promote increased physical activity. Specifically, study participants took an average of 491 (or 8%) more steps on Jeans Day than on those days in which they wore normal business attire. It is also estimated that study participants burned an average of 25 additional calories on Jeans Day with the extra steps and miles walked. Wearing casual clothing every day for 50 weeks of work translates into burning an additional 125 calories per week and 6,250 calories per year. So ditch your heels and grab some flats!
