Have started doing yoga before bedtime. It has been proven to reduce cortisol levels, which are linked with stress and weight gain. When I do it, I tend to naturally curb the snack monster. But I have also found that w/ a hot bath, I go off to sleep faster, sleep longer/deeper, and wake more refreshed. It's not about chanting weird syllables and twisting your body into a pretzel, but breathing, strength and flexibility. This is also a great defense against degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's due to the mind/body connection. New research suggests that brain cells can be rejuvenated through exercise, particularly yoga/Tai Chi and Pilates.
