Since I've been working on a series of stories featuring the efforts being made on behalf of Walt Disney Wold in Florida, to provide healthier meals and a grand assortment of opportunities for physical fitness, I thought I'd share this fantastic press release I received with you. As you read it, think about the other places you patronize throughout the year. Have they taken your health this seriously? I don't believe even the local school board in the county I live in can compete with Disney's efforts on nutritious dining. Read ahead and prepare to be impressed. I'm both in love with the magic of Disney and grateful that the company is showing such high regard for the lives of their guests.
Walt Disney World Menus Evolving with Healthful Choices
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- "Do you want apple slices or fries with that cheeseburger?"
It's all about healthful choices as Walt Disney World quick-service and fast-casual restaurants refine their menus. French fries aren't going away, but menus are being revised with well-balanced options -- at least one low-fat and one vegetarian entrée at all table service restaurants, and side options to include salads and fresh fruit.
The power of desire affects our choices
Motivation, Nutrition & Supplements
On the other hand, if you're turned off by food at the moment you decide what you eat, you tend to make more 'safe' choices. This makes sense -- it explains why we turn to comfort foods when we're feeling down.
Still, choosing things that we normally wouldn't isn't necessarily a bad thing ... it's good to add variety to your life every now and then. But take a moment to think about your choices -- especially the big ones.
You have to choose to be healthy, intentionally and on purpose
I think sometimes, or most of the time maybe, we all get lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Choices and decisions get rushed and the lines between what we need, what we want, and what we're actually doing start to blur. The truth is that although it's great to have all kinds of different goals in life you have to be careful you're not trying to do too much at once. When is the last time you really thought about your priorities? Not everything can be at the top of the list. Where is your health on that list? Are you really giving your top priorities the most effort and focus? It seems many people say 'health and losing weight' is a top priority, but then they bog themselves down with so many other things they hardly have time to work on it. Whether you like it or not that means it's at the bottom of the list, not the top.So take a few minutes to think about what's important to you and to make some decisions. Make the choice to choose, and you may be surprised at how much focus, determination, and newfound success you find you suddenly have.
How to make smart decisions in 60 seconds or less
How much of your life do you waste trying to make decisions? Do you go back and forth, maybe even getting stuck and giving up altogether? Much of this is caused by not knowing what will happen if you make a change, and 'fear of the unknown' is a powerful force. But what if you could learn to make smart decisions in 60 seconds or less? And not just by picking a random option, but by really assessing who you are and what you want out of the situation?Here's an article that claims to have that secret, giving tips and perspective on why we hesitate to make decisions and how we can speed up the process. The author claims he can have you deciding whether to leave a job or not, move to a new city or not, or end a relationship or not in less than one minute. Although I think he's got some good advice, I'm skeptical. It seems some of those are major enough issues to involve more people and more thought than any 60 second brainstorming session can handle.

Flat Earth chips: Are they really impossibly good?
Healthy Habits, Womens Health, Healthy Kids, Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Reviews & Products, Alternative & Green Health, Nutrition & Supplements, Men's Health
Frito Lay is introducing a new brand of healthier chips called Flat Earth. The new line of snack crisps are made with real fruits and vegetables. Flat Earth fruit crisps and veggie crisps are available in six flavors: Farmland Cheddar; Garlic & Herb Field; Tangy Tomato Ranch; Wild Berry Patch; Apple Cinnamon Grove; and Peach Mango Paradise and retail for $2.99 (6 oz.).
The Flat Earth slogan is "impossibly good" and the logo is a flying pig. All to the suggestion that what once was thought to be an impossible task of creating a chip that was both nutritious and delicious, is now a reality. The vice president of innovation at Frito Lay, North America, Joe Ennan, says that, "Today's consumer demand for healthier options was our call to action to develop the unique brand of Flat Earth baked snacks."
