Daily Quote: It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. E.E.Cummings
Body: Walking day 25 min. A JAMA study found that regular exercise and a good diet reduced hypertension rates by as much as 69% among patients who had a family history of the condition.
Mind: Move often. According to the American Council on Exercise, one 30-minute exercise session generates 90 to 120 minutes of relaxation response.
Spirit: For a bit of enlightenment on what spiritual paths or practices might be of interest to you, take a look at the fascinating, in-depth “Belief-O-Matic” quiz on Beliefnet.com. It’s a thoughtful exploration of how your personal beliefs reflect the tenets of myriad philosophical systems, just about all the world’s religions and many denominations within them. Your “score” will give you a 1-to-20 lineup of how your way of seeing things stacks up against these various teachings. If you find, for example, that you already think like a Buddhist, looking into Buddhist meditation might be just what the doctor ordered
Emotional: Be in the present. You may be ruminating about the future or anxiously review the past. Being mindful is like hitting reset in your brain, and be achieved in as few as five slow deep breaths. Try it today; you will be amazed at how much stress you can dissipate.
Day Fact: Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated fats, such as olive oil, sunflower oil, nut oils, linseed oil etc., are healthier for you. Olive oil is one of the healthiest forms of oil available and it is considerably better for you than more traditional cooking oils. The main benefit of olive oil is that it contains the omega-6 essential fat which is vital for both cellular and cardiovascular health. Unfortunately all fats and oils are still a high energy food, and are significant contributors to weight gain.
