You probably know that fasting is big in the health and nutrition field these days. But did you know about a new kind of fasting, called a “Screen Fast!” Just reduce (or eliminate) nightly screen time of all kinds – social media, computer work, TV, Netflix bingeing, etc.

Functional nutritionist Kimberley Malone recommended it in a recent newsletter as a big help for better sleep and better brain function. But it also eliminates the high-calorie snacking that often goes along with TV watching.

My addition: Replace at least some (or all!) screen time with healthy meal making time. Surprisingly, it may become apparent that there is indeed time to make good meals!
