Holiday Stress-Busters: reduce the to-do list, focus on family and closest friends, be flexible as to last minute changes, avoid double-bookings on your party calendar, invite some "Santa's helpers" to assist you, laugh every time you hear ho-ho-ho or Merry Christmas (great for the immune system), move your body ~ get some exercise, avoid multi-tasking ~ take it slow(er), set boundaries (work & home, family & acquaintances, etc.), reduce sugar intake, enjoy the gifts you receive and don't worry about the ones you didn't, be grateful for all you have received this holiday season.

Dec.22/09. Add this enzyme to fried foods to prevent cancer? Health Canada seeks public input regarding the proposed addition of asparaginase to foods that are known to contain the carcinogenic asparagine amino acid. Asparaginase is an enzyme that hydrolyses asparagine, neutralizing its cancer-inciting properties. The enzyme would be added to foods fried at high temperature such as bread and potatoes. Input by the Feb.21, 2010 deadline may be submitted by email. | Health Canada info page. | CBC news story
