I Believe, I Believe!

Remember when Tinker Bell and Peter Pan flew high in the sky and anything was possible?  It was because they BELIEVED they could fly; they believed that anything was possible.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Believe in yourself.  Believe you can be healthy and happy.  Believe that, if you try, you can achieve greatness - no matter how large or small the endeavor.  When you believe in yourself, you become an inspiration to others - they will believe in themselves because they believe you.  BE your WORD.  If you say you will exercise, then do it.  If you say you are the possibility of fitness and health and will eat accordingly, then DO IT.  No excuses...those are for losers.  You don't want to be one of those, do you?

Eat That Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Cress

The cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, cress) all possess Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a chemical that could be effective in the promotion of weight loss and weight control.  Nutrition, 27:463-470, 2011, published the results of a Taiwanese study on obese mice.  The researchers found that when the specimens' diets were supplemented with I3C, their overall weight, body fat, blood sugar, insulin and markers of inflammation were greatly reduced.  These same cruciferous vegetables have been also linked to the prevention of cancer and heart disease.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Listen to, or remember what your mother told you...eat your broccoli!  It's not only good for you, it will fill you up while helping you to lose some weight!
