HEALTH & FITNESS | HEALTHY STUFF WE HEART

Go ahead, feast with the fam!


 
Turkey day is here, ladies! And it turns out that the ever-popular day of thanks and feasting carries along some added weight: the benefits of family dinnertime. 


Sure, family meals may seem like just yet another one of those trivial traditions, but MSN New Zealand is throwing out some new deets that say otherwise. 

Apparently, the nightly gathering does more than just the obvi in improving parent-child relationships, it even encourages teen wellbeing. 

Makes sense, doesn't it?  A better relationship with your folks means a better, stress-free home environment.  Such a small concept goes a looong way, chicas. A recent study shows that noshing with the fam can lead to less risky decision making, less alcohol/drug use or abuse and fewer instances of mental health issues. Now that’s something to be thankful for!

Mod!
First of all, happy Thanksgiving! Second, is skiing a good fat burning activity? I've heard it is a real leg torcher but what about the rest of the body?




Hey girlie,

Skiing requires lots of control, both in the legs and in the "core," aka your abs/torso. It's cardio too, which is an added bonus. It's a great calorie burner - and super fun! Smile

Hey girl,

As you said, today is Thanksgiving! It's a big holiday so, naturally, our editors aren't at the office. Please be patient and wait some time for everything to be updated. Enjoy your holiday and try not to worry about it!

tomorrow I might go Black Friday shopping for the first time! I'm prob going with just my mom, and I'm 12.I was just wondering what to expect, and how everything works? Like is it crazy big crowds, and fights? Last year I heard someone was killed in a stampede sort of thing Frown How do all the sales work? Do stores like Aeropostale have sales, and how big of sales? 1 more thing, how could I convince me mom to go a little earlier to get the best deals?




Hey girlie,

It's definitely a crazy day. At some stores, people have been camped out since YESTERDAY AFTERNOON just to get these deals! Stampedes and trampling is really rare, but you should be prepared for large crowds, pushy people, and some aggression. It's really greedy and kinda horrible, but that's the way it is because the deals are pretty good. And each store has different deals, so I can't really explain all of them - you just have to scope it out (check their websites or look in the newspaper ads). Try waking up early, making mom breakfast, and getting ready to leave. The earlier you get ready, the earlier she'll probably take you!

Mod mod mod! So I recently had a minor surgery, but I can't exercise for a week or so. How can I work out without stressing my leg too much? Thanks Smile I am afraid of gaining too much weight on thanksgiving today!




Girlie, no worries.  Even one day of indulgence can't give you much extra weight at all.  It's most likely best for you to not put any strain on your leg and just rest it.
