Today’s Thin Thought:  Understanding is Power

Welcome to Week 6 of Thin Over 40! This week marks the halfway point in your journey to lifelong health and viability. You've been staying with your commitment for a month and a halfcongratulations! There's great information still ahead. This week, we will be looking at hour our brain functions and how that functioning affects our body and our body's ability to maintain a healthy weight.

Watch your intake of unhealthy fats
Move more during the day

Setting The Day for Success

The Key Concept for Week 6, therefore, is Brain Power. For many of you, this is going to be new information. You have a basic understanding of how your body works but you've probably relied on doctors to explain any definable injury or illness. After sharing your concern or complaint, you came away with a prescription or an admonition not to do again whatever caused the problem in the first place. I venture to say that few of you have had an in-depth discussion with your physician about the effects of neurotransmitters.
