Hmm, Jen, are you saying we should do that MMO by drinking green post? I’m game for it.

Excellent! {rubs hands together} I think this is such a dandy idea — if you’re game for a guest post, Sue, I’ll even agree to let you use the infamous frog-drinking photograph to illustrate it… How noble is that?

Interesting.

@Sue Since mint is green, feel free to blend it in.

The best way to deal with a morning after indulgence of sugar is to take a tip from diabetics who are experiencing a low, and that’s to get sugar into the body as quickly as possible. The best way is to drink an 8 ounce glass of orange juice, as you’re getting some much needed Vitamin C at the same time. So, do not grab that leftover Halloween candy, much as it may tempt you.

That, and don’t go there in the first place: I hereby resolve to sugar myself in small doses only, from this day forward. Word.

Squawkfox, that froggie-green smoothie recipe of yours is going to be World Famous On The Internet before we even hit New Year’s Day and the next mad round of good resolutions!

A quick lesson from this former Emergency Medical Services Instructor Coordinator: Insulin acts as the key to the door (our cells) that lets in the nutrition. This is why you will see undiagnosed Type I diabetics eating like a horse yet gaining little weight. Their pancreas doesn’t produce the insulin (the key) to open up the door (our cells) to let in the nutrition (glucose) so in short, their bodies are starving. That’s also the reason that excessive urination is a red flag, as it’s the body’s attempt to get rid of this excess sugar.

Thank you for providing some important nutritional information at this sugar high time of year. And it’s only the beginning…the rest of the holidays are no better. Yum…cookies, pies, more candy.
