🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Are Oats a Healthy Choice?

Answer

You Bet!! Oats are a winning health option

A half cup of raw oats has around 150 calories and is packed with nutrients, including high amounts of phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, folate, and vitamin B1 (thiamin). In that same cup you get 25 grams of carbs, 5 grams of protein, 2.5 grams of fat, and 4 grams of fiber.

Factoid: The world’s estimated population is 7.6 billion. Life is not about you or me. It’s about us. Imagine 7.6 billion people working together to build a better planet. Imagine 7.6 billion people reaching out and helping each other. I think I’ll continue to imagine. 

Today’s Smile 😃

A young woman went to her doctor complaining of pain.
“You hurt all over?” asked the doctor. “Be more specific.”

The woman touched her right knee with her index finger and yelled, “Ow, that hurts.” Then she touched her left cheek and yelled, “Ouch! That hurts, too.” Then she touched her right earlobe, “Ow, that hurts”, she cried.

The doctor examined her and gave her his diagnosis, “You have a broken finger.”

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ What Foods Do You Need to Eat To Heal?

Answer: Eat foods high in protein, vitamin C, dairy and calcium leucine rich foods. Protein is key to help with healing, so increasing protein to 0.9 grams per pound body weight may be a good idea. Try to divide protein intake out evenly over the day, aiming for at least 20 grams of protein per meal and including some protein in snacks as well.Ideally, include foods that are high in leucine – the amino acid that stimulates muscle protein synthesis – such as dairy foods, beef, poultry, pork, fish, eggs, tofu and beans.

✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Gaining Writing Perspective

This fact was something I also learned from this first novel that I needed personal experience to invent, to fantasize, to create fiction, but at the same time I needed some distance, some perspective on this experience in order to feel free enough to manipulate it and to transform it into fiction. If the experience is very close, I feel inhibited. I have never been able to write fiction about something that has happened to me recently. If the closeness of the real reality, of living reality, is to have a persuasive effect on my imagination, I need a distance, a distance in time and in space.”

~ Mario Vargas Llosa
