The food choice we make go a long way to helping us avoid cancer. According to Kate Cohen, a registered dietitian at the Ellison Clinic at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, CA., Cohen explained how diet can impact cancer development, saying: “We know that about half to two-thirds of cancers can be avoided through diet and lifestyle changes including staying at a healthy weight, increasing fruits and vegetables, limiting alcohol, and increasing dietary fiber.”

Success takes a heap of stubbornness and patience where one refuses to let go of his/her dream. No matter the obstacles, they push on. Each day they push on a bit more, never looking back until they’ve reached the summit. Then they look back in wonder at how far they’ve come.
You have to go to the starting line before
you to get to the finish line.

The typical American diet is heavy in processed foods, refined grains, and added sugars, all of which come up short on essential vitamins and minerals. But even a healthy, well-balanced diet can fall short of needed nutrients, especially among older adults, reports the June 2015 Harvard Health Letter. . . . Dietary supplements would seem to be the obvious way to plug vitamin and mineral gaps in the diet. But supplements make it easy to get too much of a particular nutrient without realizing it. With some vitamins and minerals, too much can be harmful.
It’s best to improve the diet before using supplements . . . because vitamins and minerals are most potent when they come from food. In food, they are accompanied by many other beneficial nutrients, including hundreds of carotenoids, flavonoids, minerals, and antioxidants that aren’t in most supplements. Plus, food tastes better than supplements and is often less expensive.
Your Songs
Gwendolyn Bennett
When first you sang a song to me
With laughter shining from your eyes,
You trolled your music liltingly
With cadences of glad surprise.
In after years I heard you croon
In measures delicately slow
Of trees turned silver by the moon
And nocturnes sprites and lovers know.
And now I cannot hear you sing,
But love still holds your melody
For silence is a sounding thing
To one who listens hungrily.
Step outdoors for a few minutes to pull some weeds, sit in the sunshine, or just get some fresh air. Research shows that time outside can give you more energy, a better memory, and less anxiety. Even if you’re in a city, notice trees, flowers, and parks. Soak up nature to give yourself a boost.
Let go of false fears and anxieties. Let them flow over the emotional waterfall and wash away.
