🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Is Spinach a Super food?
Answer: You Got to Love the Green Leaf. It’s Awesome.
Spinach tops the chart as one of the healthiest vegetables, thanks to its impressive nutrient profile. One cup (30 grams) of raw spinach provides 56% of your daily vitamin A needs plus your entire daily vitamin K requirement — all for just 7 calories. Spinach also boasts a great deal of antioxidants, which can help reduce the risk of chronic disease. One study found that dark green leafy vegetables like spinach are high in beta-carotene and lutein, two types of antioxidants that have been associated with a decreased risk of cancer. In addition, a 2015 study found that spinach consumption may be beneficial for heart health, as it may lower blood pressure.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Optimist Creed
The Optimist Creed
Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

💡 Something to Think About
What makes you happiest? For me, it’s speaking with someone I care deeply about. It’s seeing a beautiful sunrise or sunset. It’s watching a hummingbird. It’s seeing a team I cheer for win. It’s celebrating someone’s joy filled event. It’s seeing a young boy or girl ride a bicycle solo for the first time. It’s seeing people in love. It listening to the excitement in someone’s voice when they’ve been successful. It’s being in a quiet peaceful place and knowing it’s all good. So many things make me happy. Why not make your own list. I’m smiling brightly as I write this. I think you will too.
