Strong relationships are a core component of any fitness program. The stronger your relationships, the more support you will have to do good things for your body, mind, and soul.

Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you.

Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company. — Booker T. Washington, educator

A strong relationship starts with two brave people who are ready to sacrifice anything for one another.

Heart Attack Warning Signs

Most heart attacks start slowly with mild pain or discomfort. Here are signs that a heart attack is happening:

Upper Body Discomfort: Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.

Shortness of Breath: This symptom can come with or without chest discomfort.

Other Signs: Nausea, lightheadedness, or breaking out in a cold sweat.

If you think you are having a heart attack, call 911 right away or have someone drive you to the hospital.

On a diet? Want to be healthier this holiday season? Need to lose weight? Check out these recipe substitutions. Cut a quick 50 to 900 calories.

You can still make your favorite holiday treats while presenting healthier and trimmed-down cookies, biscuits, pies, muffins, breads, puddings, and more.

Whole Wheat for White — Replace 2 cups of white flour with 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour. This cuts 50 calories and adds 3 grams of protein.

Applesauce for Oil — Replace 1 cup of oil with 1/2 cup of oil and 1/2 cup of applesauce. You could also use dried plum or pumpkin puree. This saves almost 900 calories.

Less Sugar — Simply replace 1 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup of sugar in most recipes. Most people won’t notice. This saves 387 calories.

Egg Whites for Eggs — Replace 4 eggs with 2 eggs and 2 egg whites. This trims 10 grams of fat. A few drops of water will make up for the 2 missing egg yolks.
