So you can find great deals from grocery stores trying to clear out their surplus.<br \/>And you can <u><strong>use<\/strong> the <strong>turkey<\/strong> for <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Thanksgiving<\/strong> next <strong>year<\/strong><\/u>&#8230; According to the USDA, you can keep a frozen <strong>turkey<\/strong> for up to a <strong>year<\/strong>. But don&#8217;t just stick the <strong>turkey<\/strong> in the <strong>freezer<\/strong> in its original packaging. (Most packaging tends to be permeable to moisture.) You can <strong>use<\/strong> special &#8220;<strong>freezer<\/strong>&#8221; bags or aluminum <strong>foil<\/strong> to ward off <strong>freezer<\/strong> burn.<\/p>\n<p>*** <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Turkey<\/strong> gets blamed for a lot this <strong>time<\/strong> of <strong>year<\/strong>&#8230; especially the tired feeling <strong>people<\/strong> get after eating a big <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Thanksgiving<\/strong> <strong>dinner<\/strong>. <u><strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Turkey<\/strong> contains an amino acid called tryptophan. Many <strong>people<\/strong> blame tryptophan for the drowsiness&#8230; But that&#8217;s not true.<\/u> Tryptophan is found in all meats and many other foods. <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Turkey<\/strong> <strong>doesn<\/strong>&#8216;t even have the highest concentration&#8230; You can find more tryptophan in pork, sunflower seeds, and Parmesan cheese.<br \/>What&#8217;s really making you tired is overeating. All of that rich and sweet <strong>food<\/strong> raises your blood sugar levels, which leads to high levels of insulin. The insulin (and a few other simultaneously released chemicals) causes sleepiness. And when blood leaves your brain for your stomach to <strong>help<\/strong> digest your <strong>food<\/strong>&#8230; you get even sleepier. You can learn more about the tryptophan myth in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stansberryresearch.com\/secure\/rem\/issues\/html\/201012REM_issue.asp\">December 2010 issue<\/a>.<br \/><u>To combat the sleepiness&#8230; don&#8217;t stuff yourself.<\/u> You don&#8217;t have to sacrifice eating your favorite foods. Just eat less of them. But if you&#8217;re like most <strong>people<\/strong>, you won&#8217;t be able to <strong>help<\/strong> yourself. Instead of heading for the couch <strong>right<\/strong> after <strong>dinner<\/strong>, go outside for a walk, <strong>help<\/strong> clean up, or throw a football around.<\/p>\n<p>*** On a related note, a recent study shows <u>fasting once a <strong>month<\/strong> improves long-term <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>heart<\/strong> health<\/u>. Researchers found fasting just <strong>one<\/strong> <strong>day<\/strong> a <strong>month<\/strong> can cut your <strong>risk<\/strong> of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>heart<\/strong> disease 58%. The belief is fasting shrinks fat cells and prevents insulin resistance. This helps lower your <strong>risk<\/strong> of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>heart<\/strong> disease and even diabetes.<br \/>I&#8217;ve been trying to fast once a <strong>month<\/strong>, and I like it. I&#8217;ll sip <strong>water<\/strong> and hot herbal teas and do less vigorous activity that <strong>day<\/strong>. I&#8217;ll read, walk, and meditate quietly.
