Yesterday we hiked up to a lake. Even his two-and-a-half-year-old, Vail, made it the one-mile uphill, traversing over some gnarly rocks. As we climbed up the rugged dirt trail, we made our way through some spectacular scenery. Anthony’s wife, Saige, carried their newborn in a front papoose-type carrier. Saige has been hiking and back at the gym, lifting heavy weights, for over a week now! This is one of the beautiful things about having an unmedicated at-home birth. Both baby and mommy are usually ready to do much more than had they both been poked and prodded in a hospital. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Back to the hike. This time of the year the mountains are peppered with all kinds of beautiful wildflowers; purple, white, pink, green, yellow, and orange. I couldn’t wait to start picking them, so the small bouquet continued to grow as I carried it uphill. The small bunch of delicate lovelies also contained some wild lavender, so the smell was amazing. By the time we got to the lake, I realized that picking them on the way down would have been a better idea since all of them were at that point, wilted and sad.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I didn’t give the flowers much hope for survival, but I decided to stick them in water once we got back to the house. To my surprise, in only an hour, the happy bunch perked back up in a full display of their original splendor! As I shared my delighted discovery Anthony replied, “Mom, this is a great example of what happens to us when <i>we </i>become dehydrated!” How true this is and what a great reminder nature provided me today. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Remember to drink good, fresh, clean water as the warmer months are upon us in the Northern Hemisphere. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day. For example: if you are 150 lbs., drink at least 75 ounces of water daily. If you are very active in sports make sure to drink even more. If you start feeling tired in the afternoon, try downing a big glass of water. Your fatigue may be a symptom of dehydration, and not actual tiredness from lack of sleep. When you feel wilted, drink up!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fearlessly, Donna</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><i><span face=""Segoe UI", sans-serif" style="background-color: white;">"But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> welling up to eternal life.”</span><o:p></o:p></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><i><span face=""Segoe UI", sans-serif" style="background-color: white;">John 4:14</span><o:p></o:p></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Segoe UI", sans-serif" style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Segoe UI", sans-serif" style="background-color: white;">To purchase my newest book click this link:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Segoe UI", sans-serif" style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fearless-Women-Transform-Negative-Realities/dp/B0C47TPLG2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=37DXB1V6U3G8W&keywords=fearless+women+donna+schuller&qid=1684259418&sprefix=Fearless+women%2Caps%2C217&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Fearless Women!</a><br /></span></p>Schullerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17492785568194446403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558023412158904930.post-88865328784607821372023-05-09T14:07:00.004-07:002023-05-09T14:07:52.769-07:00New Book is Out!

With no building, no staff, and no equipment, after calling every local commercial real estate holder we knew, we got someone to allow us to meet in one of their holdings, an office parking lot. On March 29th we started our pop-up church,<i> Drive-In Church OC. </i>After several months of meeting in that parking lot, we found another place to meet in Newport Dunes and we met there for another year and a half. As of May 2022, we've been meeting at the Newport Beach Civic Center in the Community Room. It's a great, indoor, outdoor, drive-in venue that suits the needs of the freedom-loving, God-honoring, unique, and wonderful people who come to hear a message of hope, freedom, and fearlessness in Jesus. </p><p>It's great to reconnect with you.

I 'm sure some think I'm unrealistic for not choosing to let fear live in my body, mind, and soul. I have no fear because I am a walking experiment in what faith and truth has done in my life-for my life. I've traveled into the deepest jungles in The Democratic Republic of The Congo (during Civil War and disease outbreaks), The Philippines (during religious wars), Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Paraguay, Brazil. More than once, I've crossed into the Palestinian territ<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ories, even talking with local residents cooking food outside (you think I didn't get some looks as a white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, 5'9" American) I've ventured into the outskirts of Russia, Mongolia, Kiev, and so many other countries.... these are just the ones that come to mind. All of this because of my ministry/work with my husband. All of this travel without vax Ines (misspelled for a reason). <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"type":104,"tn":"*N"}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/nocensoring?source=feed_text&epa=HASHTAG" style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: none;"><span class="_5afx" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; unicode-bidi: isolate;"><span aria-label="hashtag" class="_58cl _5afz" style="color: #365899; font-family: inherit; unicode-bidi: isolate;">#</span><span class="_58cm" style="font-family: inherit;">nocensoring</span></span></a>. I have always been proactive with my health and I have traveled with nutritional supplements, drank lots of water, eaten as healthy as possible, avoided refined sugar, and more. . Most of all, I pray every day and I believe that God answers prayers. Not always the way I want him to. No, I don't get everything I pray for. God always gives me everything I need.

That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby.<br />But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” Margery Williams<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Being authentic is one of the hardest things to do. Most everyone of us seeks approval of some kind. I grew up as a "people pleaser," and just when I began to recover I married a pastor and I suddenly became "too good or not good enough: had too much money or not enough; drove too nice a car, wore too nice of clothes, exercised too much," and the list goes on and on! Just ask a pastor's wife sometime. To make matters even worse I took full responsibility when people got angry and decided to leave the church! I remember writing letters of apology and feeling like somehow I could have stopped their departures if only I had tried harder. Wow! I'm so glad I survived those years.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /> Life and it's choices are tough but knowing who you are, what you stand for, and ultimately who you belong to is important for your overall health; emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I like the saying, "if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> I admit there are days I struggle with my greying hair, my aging skin and my body. I color my hair to keep it blonde, wear a bit of make-up, and aim to exercise at least five days a week. I want to wear stylish clothes and I try to keep up with some of the latest trends.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> I grew up in a society that rewards beauty and youth, especially here in Orange County California which is also geographically close to Hollywood. In addition, my mother was a professional model and when I was very young she got me involved in modeling too. When I was a teenager I was a homecoming princess and I was entered in and won two beauty pageants a couple of years later. I've spent plenty of hours in front of cameras and/or on "stage." Needless to say, there was a lot of attention placed on looks for as long as I can remember. <br /> Fortunately, I'm working on maturing into a person who (on most days) knows that I am a child of God and since He doesn't care about outside appearances, or what people think about me, neither should I. Being a grandmother has helped me with this too. My purpose and focus in life have changed and it's awesome! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you say “thank you”, do you really mean it or is it just politeness to which you give little attention? Neuroscientists have found that if you really feel it when you say it, you’ll be happier and healthier. The regular practice of expressing gratitude is not a New Age fad; it’s a facet of the human condition that reaps true benefits to those who mean it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Psychologists Dr. Robert Emmons of the University of California at Davis and Dr. Michael McCullough of the University of Miami published a study in 2015 that looked at the physical outcomes of practicing gratitude. One-third of the subjects in the study were asked to <a href="https://dailyhealthpost.com/top-10-natural-ways-to-keep-your-brain-healthy/"><span style="color: black;">keep a daily journal</span></a> of things that happened during the week for which they were grateful. Another third was asked to write down daily irritations or events that had displeased them. The last third of the group was asked to write down daily situations and events with no emphasis on either positive or negative emotional attachment. At the end of the 10-week study, each group was asked to record how they felt physically and generally about life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The gratitude group reported feeling more optimistic and positive about their lives than the other groups. In addition, the gratitude group was more physically active and reported fewer visits to a doctor than those who wrote only about their negative experiences. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></div>

Other research into the physical effects of gratitude report even more tangible results. Focusing on the positive and feeling grateful can improve your sleep quality and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. Furthermore, levels of gratitude correlate to better moods and less fatigue and inflammation,<a href="https://dailyhealthpost.com/4-real-risk-factors-for-heart-disease-you-need-to-know/" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(143, 203, 2); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 3px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; text-decoration: none;"> </a>reducing the risk of heart failure, even for those who are susceptible. </div>

Gratitude and Your Brain</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The reasons why gratitude is so impactful to health and well-being begin in the brain. In a neurological experiment conducted by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles, brain activity was measured using magnetic resonance imaging as subjects were induced to feel gratitude by receiving gifts. The areas of the brain showing increased activity were the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex—those associated with moral and</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> social cognition</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">, reward, empathy, and value judgment. This led to the conclusion that the emotion of gratitude supports a positive and supportive attitude toward others and a feeling of relief from stressors.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Gratitude activates the hypothalamus as well, with downstream effects on metabolism, stress, and various behaviors. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> The hypothalamus is located at the base of the brain and regulates hormones responsible for many critical functions, such as body temperature,</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> emotional responses</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">, and survival functions like appetite and</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> sleep</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">. One of the neurochemicals associated with the parts of the brain affected by gratitude is</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> dopamine</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">, a pleasure hormone. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The positive influence of gratitude on mental health continues past a particular event if the emotion is relived:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">“…a simple gratitude writing intervention was associated with significantly greater and lasting neural sensitivity to gratitude–subjects who participated in gratitude letter writing showed both behavioral increases in gratitude and significantly greater neural modulation by gratitude in the medial prefrontal cortex three months later.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In fact, this lasting effect is psychologically protective. In adolescents, feelings of gratitude have shown an inverse correlation with bullying victimization and suicide risk. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> Gratitude affects brain function on a chemical level and its practice promotes feelings of self-worth and compassion for others. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We can perceive and experience gratitude and its many characteristics in a very broad spectrum. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Openness and willingness to experience gratitude affects not only the individual but her/his interpersonal relationships; a common strain in relationships is caused by repeated negative feedback by one or both partners without off-setting gratitude. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">

3 Steps to Becoming More Grateful</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
In times of hardship or stress, it might seem difficult to be grateful. But if you really think about it, we all have something to be grateful for. If you engage in only one prayer, let it be simply a heartfelt “thank you”. Here are three easy ways to put yourself in the mindfulness of gratitude.</div>
<ol style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 2.15em 1.655em; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Keep a daily journal of things you are grateful for—list at least three. The best times for writing in your journal are in the morning as your day begins or at night before sleep.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Make it a point to tell people in your life what you appreciate about them on a daily basis.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">When you look in the mirror, give yourself a moment to think about a quality you like about yourself or something you have recently accomplished. <span style="color: #0000ee; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: small; text-decoration: underline;">source</span> </li>
</ol>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Through the power of gratitude, you can rewrite your brain to be optimistic and compassionate, making you feel good. The more you look, the more you ca find to be grateful for. This positivity can extend to those around you, creating a virtuous cycle.<br />

Work can take up a lot of your time and energy. If you need a quick boost, it’s tempting to just order a large cup of joe from the nearest coffee shop. But instead of drinking sugary coffee or energy drinks with harmful chemicals, it’s better to make your own nutritious, energy-boosting snacks that will keep you fueled, minus the added sugar and artificial flavors stabilize your blood sugar levels.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
On the other hand, apples are a filling fruit because they’re fiber-rich and high in water. One medium-sized apple (182 g) is over 85 percent water, with over four grams of fiber.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Carrots and hummus</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Hummus is a tasty dip made from chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and tahini. This dip goes well with carrots.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Hummus contains fiber, healthy fats, and protein and carrots are rich in beta carotene, a precursor for vitamin A that can strengthen your immunity and promote eye health.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Clementines and almonds</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Clementines and almonds are a convenient and nutritious work snack. These foods contain fiber, healthy fats, and protein that can make you feel full longer.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
A 74 g clementine contains at least 60 percent of the Daily Value (DV) for vitamin C, which promotes wound healing and boosts your immunity.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<span style="background-color: #f2f2f2;">Dried Fruits and Nuts</span></div>
<div class="entry-content" itemprop="text" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 26px;">
<span style="background-color: #f2f2f2;"><br /></span><div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Make a healthy, non-perishable snack mix by combining dried fruit and nuts.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
This superfood duo combines three macronutrients: Carbs from dried fruit and healthy fats and protein from nuts. Both foods are also full of fiber that will help you feel full between meals.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Greek yogurt</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt is a healthy work snack. It also contains more protein than regular yogurt.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
A six-ounce (170 g) container of plain, low-fat Greek yogurt contains 17 g of protein and only 140 calories. Greek yogurt is also a great source of calcium, a mineral that keeps your bones and teeth healthy.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
If you need a more filling snack, add a handful of fruits and nuts to your yogurt.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Hard-boiled eggs</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Hard-boiled eggs are another convenient and healthy snack that you can enjoy during your break. A large egg (50 g) contains more than six grams of protein, along with nutrients like calcium, choline, and iron. Eggs also contain vitamins A, B6, B12, and D.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Homemade energy balls</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Energy balls usually contain natural indgredients like nut butter, oats, a natural sweetener, and additional foods like dried fruit and coconut. These fiber-rich energy balls also contain healthy fats, protein, and some vitamins and minerals.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Make energy balls by combining the following ingredients:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">1 cup (80 g) of rolled oats</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">1/2 cup (128 g) of peanut butter</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">1/4 cup (45 g) of dark chocolate chips</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">1/4 cup (85 g) of honey</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">2 tablespoons (14 g) of ground flax seeds</li>
</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Roll spoonfuls of the mixture into bite-sized balls and store leftovers in an airtight container. Refrigerated energy balls will last for about two weeks.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Homemade granola</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Prepare granola at home, then store it in an air-tight container on your desk so you always have a healthy, quick snack. Avoid store-bought varieties that contain added sugars and unhealthy vegetable oils that can aggravate inflammation.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
To make granola, mix melted coconut oil and honey. Then, combine rolled oats, cashews, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries in the coconut oil and honey mix. Spread the mixture on a lined baking sheet and bake for at least 40 minutes at low heat. You can also use other nuts, seeds, and dried fruits if you wish.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
These ingredients provide complex carbs, fiber, and healthy fats. Additionally, the soluble fiber in oats can help lower cholesterol levels and boost your heart health.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">
Make these snacks at home to save money and lower your intake of junk food that only contains empty calories. Eat healthy, energy-boosting snacks at work to improve your productivity.</div>

<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Ever since fat was demonized, people started eating more sugar, refined carbs and processed foods instead.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5pt; margin: 18.75pt 0in;">
<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As a result, the entire world has become fatter and sicker.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">However, times are changing. Studies now show that fat, including <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/saturated-fat-good-or-bad/"><span style="color: #01adb9; text-decoration: none;">saturated fat</span></a>, isn't the devil it was made out to be (<a href="http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1846638" target="_blank"><span style="color: #01adb9; text-decoration: none;">1</span></a>, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20071648" target="_blank"><span style="color: #01adb9; text-decoration: none;">2Trusted Source</span></a>).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">All sorts of healthy foods that happen to contain fat have now returned to the "superfood" scene.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Here are 10 high-fat foods that are actually incredibly healthy and nutritious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5pt; margin: 18.75pt 0in;">
<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The avocado is different from most other fruits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5pt; margin: 18.75pt 0in;">
<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Whereas most fruits primarily contain <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-many-carbs-per-day-to-lose-weight/"><span style="color: #01adb9; text-decoration: none;">carbs</span></a>, avocados are loaded with fats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5pt; margin: 18.75pt 0in;">
<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">In fact, avocados are about 77% fat, by calories, making them even higher in fat than most animal foods (<a href="http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fruits-and-fruit-juices/1843/2" target="_blank"><span style="color: #01adb9; text-decoration: none;">3</span></a>).The main fatty acid is a monounsaturated fat called oleic acid. This is also the predominant fatty acid in olive oil, associated with various health benefits (<a href="http://atvb.ahajournals.org/content/26/5/995.abstract" target="_blank"><span style="color: #01adb9; text-decoration: none;">4</span></a>, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15642702" target="_blank"><span style="color: #01adb9; text-decoration: none;">5Trusted Source</span></a>).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5pt; margin: 18.75pt 0in;">
<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Avocados are among the best sources of potassium in the diet, even containing 40% more potassium than bananas, a typical high potassium food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 19.5pt; margin: 18.75pt 0in;">

<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Even though they are high in fat and calories, one study shows that people who eat <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/12-proven-benefits-of-avocado/"><span style="color: #01adb9; text-decoration: none;">avocados</span></a>tend to weigh less and have less belly fat than those who don't (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23282226" target="_blank"><span style="color: #01adb9; text-decoration: none;">9Trusted Source</span></a>).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="color: #f0533a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; text-transform: uppercase;">BOTTOM LINE:</span></b><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Avocados are a fruit, with fat at 77% of calories. They are an excellent source of potassium and fiber, and have been shown to have major benefits for cardiovascular health.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This makes sense, given that an <i>entire</i> cup of milk is used to produce a single thick slice of cheese.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Cheese, like other high-fat dairy products, also contains powerful fatty acids that have been linked to all sorts of benefits, including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21173413" target="_blank"><span style="color: #01adb9; text-decoration: none;">11Trusted Source</span></a>).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Dark chocolate is one of those rare health foods that actually <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/15-health-foods-that-taste-better-than-junk-foods/"><span style="color: #01adb9;">taste incredible</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Dark chocolate is 11% fiber and contains over 50% of the RDA for iron, magnesium, copper and manganese (<a href="http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/sweets/10638/2" target="_blank"><span style="color: #01adb9;">12</span></a>).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 2px;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Unless you practice balance exercises you may lose it sooner than you need to. Loss of balance may start as you get a bit wobbly getting in and out of the bathtub, or need to walk down the stairs more slowly. It happens as we age, but your balance may be “off” for other reasons — injury, illness, poor posture, poor vision, obesity, weak core muscles, or a brain that is not properly trained to stay balanced.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Balance is your body and your brain’s equilibrium, or stability. It’s at the core of nearly every physical and mental action you perform. In fact, building your “core” muscles — those that surround your trunk — is the key to staying strong and upright as you age. Without a strong core, you’re more likely to suffer back pain, lose your balance and fall, or be more prone to injury during exercise. In the same way, maintaining and building balance in your brain is just as important for your overall health.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Test your balance: Stand on one foot with your eyes closed. If you can’t hold still for at least 10 seconds without becoming wobbly, it’s time for some easy balance training. Don’t forget to wear supportive shoes and keep a chair nearby to rest your hand if need be.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<b>Eyes-Closed Balance Routine</b></div>
<ol>
<li style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">On one leg, arms out to each side, eyes closed, balance for 30 to 60 seconds. Switch legs and repeat.</li>
<li style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">On one leg, arms hugging your chest, eyes closed, balance for 30 to 60 seconds. Switch legs and repeat.</li>
</ol>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<b>Eyes-Closed Balance Hop</b></div>
<ol>
<li style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">On one leg, hop-forward and back 10 times; stabilize between hops. Switch legs and repeat.</li>
<li style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">On one leg, hop-side to side 10 times; stabilize between hops. Switch legs and repeat.</li>
</ol>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Also, when possible, make sure that you always opt for stairs instead of using the elevator. This too will help keep your body and your mind sharper and more balanced!</div>

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? If you are like most people you have dreams, goals, and aspirations that have not yet been met. Maybe fear of failure is holding you back or maybe it’s a little thing called money? Sometimes it’s even the fear of success and you don’t really want to change things up in your life. Or perhaps you’re thinking, “I’m too old.” </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14.000000953674316px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Whatever it is that is holding you back from accomplishing your goals and m<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">oving into a more successful future, you can take that first step. Set a goal, make a list of all the reasons you should go for it, and then start. Just do one thing today that will move you closer to your feelings of success in reaching your goal. Then, as soon as you accomplish step one, go to step two, then three, and so on. If you miss a day don’t dwell on your failure, keep focusing on what you do want and keep moving forward. Soon you will see that the goal becomes clearer and more possible. Make sure you ask trusted people to help you along the way. At first, it might seem a tough thing to do but most people like sharing worthwhile goals. Once you get the positive feedback you will create momentum for a positive cycle of success. I ask again, “what would you do if you knew you could not fail?” Make a list and start today!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">How many times have you been told, “don’t forget lunch,” or “don’t forget the birthday,” or how about, “don’t forget where you parked your car?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The world is full of negative messages and even well-meaning parents, grandparents, co-workers, or friends can innocently speak words of doom and failure into us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Here’s the truth: our brains cannot properly decipher a negative. If you tell yourself what <i>not to do</i>, your brain really hears the action word and it will more than likely do that! When you or someone else says, “don’t forget_____(fill in the blank), your brain hears…<i>forget!</i>And there’s a good chance you will forget whatever it is.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Recently, when parking at my local airport, as I got on the elevator, I saw a sign that made my day (and helped my brain!). The signs mounted on each floor of this parking structure read, “Remember Level Three,” “Remember Level Four,” etc. Whoever thought-up and had those directives prominently posted understood brain health and comprehension much better than others who are responsible for the typical signs I read in most public places. Most people and places always tell you not<i></i> to forget<i>!<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">It’s really simple once you get it. The well-known motivational speaker Denis Waitley calls it the “R2-D2.” In his best-selling book, “Seeds of Greatness,” he uses the example of a professional baseball player who typically tells them self where to hit the ball when they’re up at-bat. Not where not to hit it! They have a much better chance of the ball going wherever their mind tells it to go. Guess what? Your life is the same way. Tell yourself what to do and start seeing positive results. Tell yourself to “remember” (this, that and all things in life). Always remember that your thoughts are way more powerful than you know. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">It’s July, and 2019 which means you still have almost 6 months to accomplish the goals you set for yourself back in January! Here are some simple steps that will help you finish a productive year:</span></strong><span style="color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;"><br /></span></strong></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">1) Write your goals down. Remember- “if you’re failing to plan, you’re planning to fail.” Handwrite them first and then put them on a word doc. Your brain will process the goals differently if you engage your motor skills. It’s like writing them on your brain.</span></strong><span style="color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;"><br /></span></strong></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">2) Prioritize and categorize. Always list what you do want.</span></strong><span style="color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;"><br /></span></strong></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">3) Keep your goals visible. Post them in a few different areas where you will see them several times a day.</span></strong><span style="color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">

<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">4) Be accountable. Share your goals with your family and your best friend. Accountability helps you stay the course.</span></strong><span style="color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">

<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">5) Review your goals periodically. As weeks and months go by, scrutinize your goals. Your circumstances may change in any number of ways throughout the year. Update individual goals or eliminate those that are no longer essential.</span></strong><span style="color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">

<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">6) Reward yourself for achieving each goal. Upon accomplishing a well-earned goal, treat yourself with something you’ve wanted. Maybe it’s a new pair of shoes or lunch out at your favorite restaurant. Maybe it’s making a donation to the charity of your choice. Celebrate your accomplishments.</span></strong><span style="color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">

<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">7) Rework goals that seem too difficult to reach. If you find a goal that seems impossible to initiate, re-write that goal in a way that makes achievement possible.</span></strong><span style="color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">8) Be a goal-setter for life. It’s never too late to start, or, to start over.</span></strong><span style="color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;"><br /></span></strong></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">By following these steps, you will be more likely to achieve whatever you set your mind on!</span></strong><span style="color: #818181; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
As of today, there are 296 days left in 2019! So much time and so much to accomplish. I sure hope by now you've not only got your goals clearly written (on paper and in your heart). If not, it's not too late! Your goals should include categories like mental, spiritual, and physical health, as well as relational and professional goals. If you need help with this, it's what I love to do...help people determine, proclaim, and then implement their goals for the year. </h3>

<br />My late, great father-in-law used to say, "if you're failing to plan, you're planning to fail." If you have no firm goals then you will be tossed this way and that, never having your mind, your heart, and your all, committed to anything. </h3>

<div class="m_-195229153072228986revue-p" style="font-size: 18px; margin: 0px;">
A new study by the Centers for Disease Control finds that not only is it common for us to get food at work, but that the food we eat while in the office is “high in empty calories, sodium, and refined grains, and low in whole grains and fruit.” Respondents averaged 1,080 food calories at work in a given week, with soda, sandwiches, chips, donuts, and pastries making up more than a third of those calories. </div>
<div class="m_-195229153072228986revue-p" style="font-size: 18px; margin: 0px;">
The way we work can also make us more aware of our food choices. It’s common now for folks to eat lunch in front of their computer, but doing so makes us less aware of what we’re eating.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="m_-195229153072228986revue-p" style="font-size: 18px; margin: 0px;">
The moral of the story: bring your own food to work and exercise discipline when passing by the donut bar. If you are a supervisor or own your own business, be concerned for your fellow employees' health. Clean up the workplace and provide only nutritious food and drinks. If someone wants to bring junk food from home, that's their choice. Don't provide it!</div>

Dieting is looked at as common-place. </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Aspiring to be more physically healthy is wise and admirable, but caution should be used when discussing your weight or dieting, in front of your children. According to Maura Hohman, as written in People Magazine, “<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Research has shown that kids whose parents talk about weight are more likely to have negative feelings about their bodies and experiment with unhealthy dieting behaviors. </span>One study<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"> looked at fathers and mothers with sons and daughters around 14 years old, finding that kids are more likely to control their weight in unhealthy ways and binge eat if their parents talk about weight loss in their presence. </span>Another study<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"> indicated that parents who talk about controlling weight are more likely to raise high schoolers who are dissatisfied with their bodies. </span>‘When parents are over-focused on weight, body image, and dieting, it can lead to disordered eating, and can worsen [your child’s] weight status’ explains Dr. Stephen Cook, associate professor of pediatrics and internal medicine at the University of Rochester & Golisano Children’s Hospital.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I<i>f you have weight-loss goals state them in terms of health and not appearance. For instance, “I’m going to start going to the gym because I need to get stronger and have more energy and exercise will help me.” Or, “I’m going to replace my morning donut with eggs because the sugar in the donut is making me have a stomach ache and I want to feel great.” </i></span><i><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Set your weight-loss goals but be careful how you talk about them in front of your children. One way is helpful, the other may hurt your children in the long run. </span></i></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Many of us feel stressed, worried, overwhelmed, and exhausted. We live in such a fast-paced, world of unrelenting pressure and expectations and there’s no sign of it letting up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Information can create anxiety and the use of the actual device takes a physiological toll too. The National Toxicology Program and World Health Organization, reveal to us that the Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and the radiofrequency radiation have devastating effects on our health and especially for children. The results of this radiation also cause stress on the nervous system, which erodes our sense of peace and calm, causing us to feel overwhelmed, stressed, and filled with anxious thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Here's a recipe for something that will help with a cough. <br />
<br />
<br />
2 TBSP. Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
2 TBSP. water<br />
2 TBSP. Raw, local, organic honey<br />
1/4 tsp. Ground Ginger<br />
1/4 tsp. Ground Cayenne (red) pepper<br />
<br />
Mix all of the above and take a few teaspoons. It will paper your throat with heat, while it subdues your hacking. Also, consider adding two teaspoons of this completed recipe to a "hot toddy" if you aren't opposed to alcohol. I'd suggest rum or whiskey.<br />
<br />
