How to STOP evening snacking

Do you raid the fridge or pantry in the evening, after supper?

Are you looking for something to munch on as you wind down for the evening, or maybe to reward yourself for another day done?

If you do and if you are, you’ve likely got yourself a nice little evening eating habit that you use to help you relax and feel good.

However, this habit isn’t without consequences.

Have you noticed that your perimenopause body is reacting to certain foods?

Maybe you’ve begun experiencing things like bloating, gas, or other GI issues with foods that were never a problem.

You’re not imagining things.

I love smoothies!

They’re an amazingly easy, and tasty, way to get in those daily servings of fruit and veggies.

And they can make a filling breakfast, or a healthy after-school snack.

So, I’ve put together a few of my favorite smoothie recipes below.

I heard a statistic this week that blew me away.

If we assume the average person lives to be 78 years old, 26 of those years are spent sleeping.

I never thought of it that way before.

26 years is an amazing amount of time to spend on one activity!

So it stands to reason that sleep is a pretty important part of your life.

Maybe even THE most important.

And no matter how old you are, you need good sleep.

But as you get older, even though you still need the same amount of sleep in general as when you were younger, chances are you’re not getting it.

And there are many possible reasons why.
