Health Tip of the Day ~ Are You Eating Enough Fiber?

5 Reasons to Add More Fiber to Your Diet

    1. Promotes Digestive Health: Fiber is essential for maintaining good digestive health. It helps to prevent constipation, reduces the risk of colon cancer, and keeps the digestive system functioning smoothly.
    2. Helps Control Blood Sugar Levels: Fiber slows down the absorption of sugar in the blood, preventing spikes in blood sugar levels. This is especially important for people with diabetes.
    3. Promotes Heart Health: Fiber can help to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It does this by binding to cholesterol in the digestive system and preventing it from being absorbed into the bloodstream.
    4. Aids in Weight Loss: Fiber helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied, reducing the likelihood of overeating. This can lead to weight loss over time.
    5. Supports Overall Health: Adding more fiber to the diet can improve overall health and well-being. It can reduce inflammation, improve immune function, and support healthy aging.

Positive Thought of the Day ~ It’s Easy Lifting

“The real great man is the man who makes every man feel great.” Gilbert K. Chesterton

 

Note: We lift ourselves when we lift others. No one is left behind.

Poem of the Day ~ I’m Nobody! Who Are You? (260)

I’m Nobody! Who Are You? (260)

Emily Dickinson

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Build Your Foundation

“Keep a source of inspiration within reach. To help you through the tough and uninspired times, keep something close at hand that will bring you happiness and connection. It may be a photo of your family or a mentor, a book or a collection of quotations that speak to you.” Source

NOTE: Each of us will face tough times now and then. It’s easier to face them if we’ve already built a foundation that stabilizes us. When I need inspiration I go to a series of sports related videos that resonate with me where the athlete triumphs during an unexpectedly hard competition. I feel as if I am channeling their energy. Discover what works for you and make it part of your foundation.
