What would you do if money, health or time were not an issue?

Drinking a cup of hot or iced tea not only pleases the senses but also has numerous health benefits. Depending on the tea, you will find various nutritional values but one constituent you will always find is the amino acid L-theanine. Some of the health benefits associated with L-theanine are eases anxiety, reduces stress, improves cognitive function and helps relieve insomnia.

Life lessons you can learn from a cup of tea: 1. Too hot, it will leave a bitter taste and be hard to swallow 2. Too cold, it will take time before all the goodness can be drawn from it 3. Too weak, it will need something added to strengthen it 4. Too strong, it will need something to help tone it down... 5. Adding fruits, flowers, herbs and spices gives it a diverse pizzazz 6. For an optimal experience, it should not be rushed Enjoy your Friday! Stay well!

Let’s plank today for RBG! Do you know she used to do planks every day? I guess that is one reason she was such a tough to the core great lady! I have such respect for this woman!

With cold and flu season knocking at our door, in addition to COVID-19 and all these crazy wildfires, it has become imperative to focus on good health practices. One of the best ways to optimize your health is through your diet. Eating a Rainbow of foods daily ensures you get a balanced amount of nutrients to help support better health. So, make it a daily challenge to see how many colors you can include in your diet every day. Kids especially enjoy this challenge. You can make a rainbow drawing and fill in the colors of the rainbow you ate that day. Eat well, stay well!
