GOOD TO KNOW-GOOD TO EAT FOODS 

C.S. Lewis pointed out many years ago- “You are never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream.” That being said, what can we do to reach an old age where we can  still  appreciate and enjoy our new dreams. Here are some useful tips –
Anti -Aging Foods

·        Cereal – more than 3 grams of fiber per serving
·        Bread with fiber
·        Watermelon – protects skin from sun
·        Apples with skin
·        Pure pumpkin (canned)
·        Blueberries (brain food)
·        Green/ black tea
·        Tomato paste/ sauce

Super Foods

·        Beans – control blood sugar and appetite
·        Broccoli – cuts cancer risk, broccoli sprouts even better than broccoli
·        Oats – lower cholesterol level
·        Oranges – vitamin C
·        Wild Salmon – lower rate of cardiac arrest and death (3 oz four times per week) may be canned
·        Soya – complete protein
·        Spinach/ leafy greens – loaded with vitamins
·        Raw/ cooked tomatoes (lecithin)
·        Raw nuts – lower cardio disease risk (keep in sealed container in fridge, 1 handful per day

General

·        1 aspirin per day – keeps artery elasticity, lowers cardio problems
·        1 oz real chocolate/ day (with real cacao, the more cacao,  the better) helps keep skin elasticity and sheen

Since your brain is 60 per cent fat support your brain

 health by eating good fats as often as possible such

 as olive oil, coconut oil, eggs, avocado, 70-80%

 chocolate, nuts,  and seeds.

New research has shown that a good, restful sleep

 help prevent dementia.

While you sleep your body rinses your brain with fluids that actually wash away the plaques that cause Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The plaque build up will also lead to heart attacks and strokes.

Why We Should Curb Our Use of Bottled Water

  Why We Should Curb Our Use of Bottled Water Globally 154 billion litres of bottled water was consumed in 2004.  This was up 57% from five years earlier.  In 2006, an astounding 30% of people in Ontario who had access to regularly inspected municipal water supply primarily drank bottled water.  Many people believe that bottled water is purer and safer than tap water.

As I was picking up all kinds of litter such as license plates, chairs, discarded clothing, plastic bags, lots  of cigarette butts, and a myriad of discarded coffee containers, I began to reflect on all the problems triggered by litter. Here in Canada, we are very lucky to have an organized system where most municipalities and cities  make sure that there are regular pick-ups for your garbage, compost, and recyclables. So it boggles my mind why so many Canadians do not use the readily provided containers, but instead  treat Mother Earth like a gigantic garbage bin. I simply cannot understand when someone buys a cup of coffee, they then go for a long hike, they  manage to carry the cup full of coffee, but the minute it’s empty, they simply cannot manage to carry  it back home a
