Today’s Health Tip ~ Cherries, Sweet or Tart are Healthy Choice

by

It’s Almost Cherry Season

Whether you like them sweet or tart, these deep red fruits pack a healthful punch. Cherries are low in calories and chock full of fiber, vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and other good-for-you ingredients. You’ll get vitamins C, A, and K. Each long-stemmed fruit delivers potassium, magnesium, and calcium too. They also bring antioxidants, like beta-carotene, and the essential nutrient choline. . . . Cherries are rich in antioxidants. These are natural chemicals that can help your body deal with day-to-day damage to your cells. The havoc may come from normal metabolism, inflammation, exercise, smoking, pollution, or radiation.

Today’s Poem ~ My Star

by

My Star

Robert Browning

All that I know 
Of a certain star 
Is, it can throw 
(Like the angled spar) 
Now a dart of red, 
Now a dart of blue; 
Till my friends have said 
They would fain see, too, 
My star that dartless the red and the blue! 
Then it stops like a bird; like a flower hangs furled: 
They must solace themselves with the Saturn above it. 
What matter to me if their star is a world?  
Mine has opened its soul to me, therefore I love it

Something to Think About

by

Life is what it is, it is not always what we want it to be or what we think it should be. Life is like a huge experimental laboratory where we find ourselves in a continuous learning process learning how to deal with life. The more we learn, the better we become at navigating our way through life. It’s not always easy. There are lots of rough patches. If we patiently endure, we get through the rough patches and take the lessons with us. Don’t fear life or its challenges. We learn as we go and we get better as we go along.

A Better Life ~ Our Shared Experiences

Teardrops and laughter are a shared experience of every human being. To love and be loved are a shared experience of every human being. There are many other experiences we all share. Our shared experiences are reasons to cooperate and act compassionately toward each other. When we build each up we are also building ourselves. We’re all sharing this great ride on planet Earth, why not work with each other, build each other, and celebrate together at day’s end? It will make all the difference.

Today’s Good Word ~ Vitality

by

Vitality – Def: energy and strength

I like being around people whose being exudes vitality. They’re contagious. They are excited about life. They’ll jump two feet into the deep end. Life is a dance and they won’t sit out a dance. You’ve seen them. They don’t need coffee or sugar. They’re high on life. They’re high on being around other vital people who want to face challenges, conquer the challenges and move on to the next challenge. They are confident that whatever the world tosses at them, they’ll scoop it up and toss it right back. They’re not sleepwalking through life. They’re soaring. C’mon, show your vitality. It’s there waiting for the door to be opened. Dance on!

Today’s Health Tip ~ Are Hydroponic Vegetables Healthy?

by

Hydroponic vegetables are grown suspended in a liquid solution containing the minerals the plant needs to thrive. In most cases, a hydroponics farm is enclosed within a greenhouse, but hydroponics systems can also be set up outdoors. The water used in hydroponic farming can be recycled through the system. Because there is no exposure to the outdoors, hydroponic vegetables may not need the same levels of pesticides to protect the plants against insects or pathogens. Some hydroponics growers do not use pesticides, and they employ organic farming methods, which allows them to meet the standards required to be labeled as organic produce.

Nutrition

In general, the nutritional value of hydroponically grown vegetables is about the same as that of conventionally grown produce. The ability to precisely control the levels of minerals in the water when using hydroponics makes growers able to maintain a consistent level of minerals within the plant, unlike farmers of soil-grown vegetables who may have to fertilize heavily to make up for poor soil quality.
