WEBE Wellness: The Best Diet You Haven’t Heard Of

WEBE Wellness: The Best Diet You Haven’t Heard Of

If you’re worried about the calories you’ll be consuming this holiday season, you may be considering a new diet that best fits you – whether it’s simply weight loss, or how easy it is to follow, or how healthy they are overall.

But if you’re simply looking to lose weight, the Flexitarian diet may be for you.

You’ll eat lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and plant-based protein. But if you’re craving meat, you can have that too!

It’s similar to the popular Mediterranean Diet – that’s where you’ll eat lots of produce and seafood, but dairy and meat are limited.

No matter what direction you want to go in, make sure you consult with a health care provider first, but if you’re looking to make some healthy choices, the right diet is out there for you!

WEBE Wellness: Maple Syrup In Coffee??

WEBE Wellness: Maple Syrup In Coffee??

If you like your morning coffee sweetened, instead of grabbing sugar, grab something else – maple syrup!

A new study shows that there are lot of health benefits to using syrup – you get antioxidants that boost immunity and help with inflammation that you don’t get from refined sugar.

You’ll also find better blood sugar levels, which can help avoid diabetes. Plus, the study found that when people switched from sugar to maple syrup, their blood pressure dropped, they lost weight and had less harmful bacteria, so their digestion improved.

But the only catch is that it needs to be real maple syrup – Log Cabin won’t cut it.

WEBE Wellness: The Best Fruit For Your Bones

WEBE Wellness: The Best Fruit For Your Bones

When you go for fresh fruit, it’s usually because you want a quick and healthier snack option. But did you know there’s a fruit that can help you with your bones? Next time you’re in the produce aisle, grab some prunes.

Prunes are rich in minerals, vitamin K, phenolic compounds, and dietary fiber—all which may be able to help counter some of the effects of osteoporosis.

However, while prunes may be known for their superfruit status, they can be high in sugar. Always pay attention to serving sizes and try a combination of prunes with a fat or protein to prevent a spike in blood sugar.

Since they’re so portable it’s convenient to snack on any time of day. But you can mix them trail mix, salad, or your favorite yogurt.

You can also put them on top of pizza – they mix well with arugula and balsamic vinegar.

Contest Line: 800-WEBE-108

‘Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil is a Christmas themed show inspired by the joy of giving and the wonder of the holiday season, with something for everyone in the family to enjoy. Whether you are a child of 5, 50, or 95 years old you are sure to be wowed by incredible acrobatics and a heart-warming story this season at Toyota Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, CT, for a strictly limited engagement, November 29 through December 8, 2024.

‘Twas the NIght Before… is Cirque du Soleil’s first Christmas show, based on the classic poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore. Memorable lines from this cherished classic inspired Cirque du Soleil’s story about a jaded young girl who rediscovers the magic of Christmas. A festive flurry of love and cheer created especially for families, ‘Twas the Night Before… features thrilling acrobatics performed by a cast of 26 artists sailing from all over the world, lovable characters and a soundtrack including Christmas favorites re-invented by Cirque du Soleil.

It’s the holidays, but this year, things are different. For years, Isabella and her father have read A Visit from Saint Nicholas together. However, this year Isabella feels like she’s outgrown the family tradition. But then the magic of the poem comes to life, and Isabella and her father are unexpectedly separated by a snowstorm that sends them on a fantastical journey. In a winter wonderland inspired by the poem, they discover whimsical characters, acrobats, children and reindeer who reunite father and daughter in the holiday spirit.
