Esteemed

If ever I am feeling gloom

Enter in to my mental room,

I turn away and close that door

And think I should be happy for

My life and health and friends and love

And goodly spirits from above.

However bleak old age may seem

There’s still much joy to be ESTEEMed!

Shine Each Day!

Today I just lost my patience.

The saying is “she lost her cool”;

While caring for a patient!

I should have known the Golden Rule:

Do NOT fly off the handle

Always try to please…

Light your good natured candle

And shine each day with ease!

Eliminate And Esteem ate

If sometimes you’re not feeling great

Here are words to eliminate:

Sad and mad and old age fears,

Grim and dim and useless tears,

Down with frowns and joyless jeers,

Up into your highest gears!

Gauge your worth and gravitate

Towards what you most can ESTEEMate.

 ”An apple a day keeps the doctor away”.  How often we have heard these words and yet probably never asked why.

The apple is a powerhouse of health benefits.  It overcomes fatigue and brightens the skin and makes it look healthy.  In ancient times it was used as a beauty product.

The Mayo Clinic in the U.S. has decreed apples as a positive anti-cholesterol fruit.  It is full of anti-oxidants which are essential for good heart health.

Its sugar content is such that it is assimilated in the body and not used up all at once, such as chocolate is for example, which makes one less hungry over a period of time. Thus hunger is controlled and weight can be lost. One feels less full.

There are many varieties and colors such as red, green and yellow. Some are sour, some are sweet and some are crunchy.  One can never get tired of eating an apple a day with such a choice.

Good health is key to our happiness and age esteem.  So, stock up on apples to maintain and improve good health!

Cruciferous Vegetables For Healthy Aging

What are cruciferous vegetables?  Well, actually, there are many.  Broccoli, cauliflower, red and green cabbage, radishes, watercress, Brussels sprouts and turnips are all cruciferous vegetables.

What is so special about them?  They are potent vegetables in what they do for your body and for your health at all ages.

Individually, they have their own valuable substances, but as a group they are full of minerals and vitamins, especially vitamin C in many.  The good news is that because of certain components in these vegetables, when broken down, they are very successful in reducing the risk of various cancers such as lung, breast, prostate and pancreatic.

In cuisine there is so much that can be done with cruciferous vegetables.  Used in salads, or added to other dishes like casseroles, as well as eating them cooked on their own, they will provide colorful, healthy meals.

The value that they bring to your body as you age is immeasurable.
