It's all about love

"Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it." - Dr. Karl Menninger

- Eleanor Roosevelt

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." "You must do the thing you think you cannot do."

Saturated fats should be avoided by arthritis sufferers.

Saturated fats cause inflation. So, for those who suffer from arthritis pain, they should be avoided or at least consumed at a minimum. Saturated Fats are fats found in animal products. Some of the worst offenders are fatty meats like beef, lamb, poultry skin, pork, bacon, salami, bologna, beef sausage and pepperoni. Also dairy products like ice cream, whole or 2 percent milk, butter, and cheese should be avoided. Choose, instead, reduced fat or fat-free dairy products and lean cuts of meat, skinless chicken and turkey. For packaged foods, check the saturated fat content on the Nutrition Facts. It's recommended that Meal items should have less than five grams per serving. Snack foods should have less than two grams.

Live in Thankfulness.

Live fearlessly. Live boldly. Live with love in your soul. Treat each person you meet like the treasure they are. Appreciate each day for the amazing miracle it is. - Colleen McKeon

De-stress at work in five minutes or less

Breathing deeply for just five minutes a day reduces stress and you can do it right at the office! Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Bend your knees at a 90 degree angle. Sit tall with your head directly over the base of your spine and your palms face up on your thighs. Now, close your eyes. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth as you pull your stomach in. Count to four as you inhale in and count to four as you exhale out. Feel your face, neck and shoulders relax. Release all the tension there. Feel the tension leaving your body. Repeat slowly for five minutes. Do this ever day and it will not only decrease your stress, it will energize you and make you more productive, as well!
