Not only is it important to
cool down after you work
out, it’s important to chill
out too. Athletes have
been using ice and ice
baths to aid in recovery
for years.
But researchers have
discovered that
lowering your core
temperature for even
small amounts of time
has big benefits,
including weight loss.
Start by using ice on the
back of your neck and
the top of your hands.
DANGERS OF
BINGE EATING
THE FACTS
The prevalence
of Binge Eating
Disorder affects about
1-5 percent of the
general population, and
BED affects women
slightly more often than
men. Estimates indicate
that about 60 percent of
people struggling with
the eating disorder are
female, and about 40
percent are male. BED
is often associated with
symptoms of depression. People struggling
with BED often express
distress, shame, and
guilt over their eating
behaviors, and report a
lower quality of life than
those that do not suffer
from BED.

5 AND 5 FOR BREAKFAST

A light, healthy breakfast can keep you from overeating at lunch. Five grams of protein,
like a 1/2-cup of fat-free milk, leads to a slow increase in blood sugar and does not stimulate
hunger later. Five grams of fiber, such as piece of fruit or a slice of whole-grain bread, makes your
stomach feel full longer. Research indicates that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
