What Did We Learn This
Month?
Women’s
Health: November 2012

Women’s Health Cover Star for November:
The stunning, gorgeous, slender and talented chef Giada DeLaurentis
is on the cover and she talks about how on earth she stays so damn tiny while
coming up with fabulous recipes all day. (She merely nibbles on her creations
versus the “tasting as I go along method” I usually employ in the kitchen, by
the way.)
Plus, we get her tips on how to host the perfect dinner party as well as
her favorite party recipes including a Gingerbread Cocktail that looks out of
this world!

So what else is in the November
issue of Women’s Health?
“Weekend Warriors”
Lately I have been
having the travelling jones so this feature jumped right out at me—luggage suggestions
for wherever your heart wants to go.
(Seriously, how cute is this bag from
fleabag.com?)

“15-Minute
Workout”
Do you want a truly “can
do this anywhere” workout? Then tear out this page and try out these moves from
trainer Amanda Russell.

“Strong Body, Powerful Mind”
The Women’s Health Big Book of
Yoga comes with lots of different types of yoga poses including these
that will raise your heart rate.

“The Future is Now”
Do you love shopping pages as much as I do? How about when they feature
cool fitness things? Yeah—me too. The ones featured here have all some type of
a technological breakthrough that makes me all kinds of happy.

“Gobble Without the
Wobble”
My skinny jeans start to recede into the back of my closet sometime
around the first taste of turkey I get on Thanksgiving. Maybe this year I will
follow Women’s Health’s advice
and make more healthy choices? (Time will tell on this.)

And now the rest of the
best of this issue of Women’s Health:
- “Raise Your Game” Women’s Health asked the top ten women athletic trainers in the
country to offer their best advice for torching up your workout sessions. Great
stuff here!
- "Your Body on the Flu" You want to know why I
get a flu shot every year? Because the flu completely SUCKS.
- "True Blood” Those numbers next to all of those tests on
your doctor’s chart actually mean something and you should know exactly how to
interpret them.
- "Taking a Bite Out of Crime" Women’s Health talks about food fraud and all the ways we can
(potentially) get screwed over at the grocery store. (Like I need another
phobia, amIright?)
- “Your Second Brain” Your gut is in reality
the “command center” of your body and can determine how healthy or unhealthy
you truly are. This article is a MUST READ.
Overall Grade:
A-! Loved all of the information here—good job
