Health and Diet
Low-fat mayo. It's best to use super-low calorie condiments, like mustard, but when you need that creamy taste and consistency, substitute low-fat mayonnaise -- it contains just 1/4 of the calories and one gram of fat (compared to 11 in the original). With this smooth stand-in on supermarket shelves, there's no reason to reach for regular mayo, which is also higher in sodium.

Sometimes the best way to take care of the world is to be sure you are taking care of yourself. You are an environmental hazard walking around as a stressed-out time bomb. Learn to recognize your own signs of being overly stressed, and do something about it before it seeps out while driving, at work, or at home. Although its great to care for others, it is essential that you make yourself a priority.
