Health Tip of the Day ~ Watermelon is so Good for You

Watermelon Packs a Health Punch

Though it lacks protein and iron, the nutritional value of watermelon shouldn’t be underestimated. It also lacks fat, sodium and cholesterol and is American Heart Association Heart-Check Certified. Even watermelon seeds have benefits, with magnesium, iron, healthy fats and zinc. Even more impressive, it has 170 milligrams of potassium, an essential mineral that supports nerve and muscle function, and the fluid balance in your body. And in addition to vitamin C, it contains good amounts of vitamin A. Disease-fighting antioxidants in watermelon like lycopene and cucurbitacin E, may help protect you from diseases such as cancer or diabetes. Lycopene also gives watermelon its red color.

Poem of the Day ~ Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day (Sonnet 18)

Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day (Sonnet 18)

William Shakespeare

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.
    So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Feeling Good tip of the Day ~ Create a Joyful Day

Today is in Your Hands

Create something good to look forward to. You can have a virtual coffee with a friend, a walk outside or a book to finish will give you purpose each day. Even if you’ve had a hard day, you can create something that sparks joy. Maybe it’s running yourself a nice hot bath or ringing a friend that makes me laugh. You can create something to look forward to — it doesn’t have to be a big thing. It trains your brain to notice things in the present.
