Accordingto various medical journals, people who get eighthours of sleep nightly take in, on average, 200 fewercalories per day. By simply ensuring that youre well-rested, you can vastly reduce your amount of caloricintake over an extended period of time.Your body derives energy from both food andsleep, said Lisa Scheetz, Director of Operations at theVineland YMCA. So naturally the two are connected.If youre getting the proper amount of sleep eachnight, youll be less inclined to feel hungry the nextday, and that absence of hunger will cut down onunnecessary snacking, helping to reduce your intake.Not only does sleep help reduce the amount youconsume, but it also recharges your immune system,helping you avoid sickness and gear up for a workout.So, good newssleeping regularly could become akey contributor to your fitness.9) DRINK MORE WATERThe benefits of drinking more water are threefold.First, by replacing your usual drink of choicewhether it is juice, soda, tea, or alcoholicwith water,youll reduce the amount of calories you consume.Water holds a grand total of zero calories, so even themost health-conscious drinkers can reduce their dailycaloric intake by 500 simply by switching to water.But water has another, even more important bene-fit. It can reduce the amount of food you eat daily.Serving sizes have gotten out of control in the U.S.,said Scheetz. When you look at the chain restaurants,their typical meals are three times the standard servingsize, and this is what people have become accustomedto eating. So when you cut down to a normal servingsize, you still feel hungry when youre done yourmeal. One way to help yourself feel more full after ameal is to drink a big glass of water beforehand.Continued on page 8Inspired by someone who has made ourcommunity a better place to live and work?Heroes can be found in every walk of life,in every neighborhoodeveryday.Nominate a friend, family member, coworker, neighbor,or acquaintance using the form on page 25 or...Nominate online: www.grapevinenewspaper.com/hometownheroesEXTENDED deadline for nominations: January 11, 2012.NOMINATE A HERO TODAY!Grapevine 1-9 010412:Layout 112/30/117:45 PMPage 1{2}thegrapevine|JANUARY4,2012Grapevine 1-9 010412:Layout 112/30/117:45 PMPage 2Waterhouse atMillville Public LibraryStorytellerRichardWaterhousepresentedtheholiday show"SamDiscoverstheHolidays"onDecember10attheMillvillePublicLibrary.Thirty-two childrenand15adultsenjoyed thisholidayprogramonHannukah,Kwanza,andChristmas.WWW.GRAPEVINENEWSPAPER.COM|thegrapevine{3}Faces in the NewsITHINK THIS ISYOUR ONLY OPTION?If C-PAP doesnt work for you, there are alternatives!)5$1.$ 3(77,6$1, '0')$0,/
