Don't be afraid of good fats. Always include a serving of "good" fat at each
meal. Good sources of fat can help balance blood sugar, control appetite, and
provide essential fatty acids that are needed to help keep your hormones
balanced. Some of the best sources of good fats include raw nuts and seeds such
as almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, and sunflower seeds, as well as
olives, olive oil, salmon and fish oil, and avocados. Use monounsaturated fats
as your main source of fat and use saturated fats sparingly.

Can or Can't
The word that could determine the success in your life has only three letters-
it is CAN. The word can is one of the most powerful words in the English
language. In fact, as you may know, we've developed the "I Can't" course to
accentuate the power of believing in our ability the reach desired goals.
The addition of the letter t to the word can means the difference between
success and failure. Significant achievements have been made in spite of the
word can't. We are glad that men like Edison and Wright brothers didn't accept
the word can't. Try to substitute the word can for can't and see the change of
performance in life.

Top 10 health benefits of Blueberries
A new University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center
study suggests that blueberries may help reduce belly
fat and risk factors for cardiovascular disease and
metabolic syndrome.
Blueberries are the fruits of a shrub that belong to the
heath family, which includes the cranberry and bilberry
as well as the azalea, mountain laurel and rhododendron.
Blueberries grow in clusters and range in size from that
of a small pea to a marble. They are deep in color,
ranging from blue to maroon to purple-black, and feature
a white-gray waxy "bloom" that covers the surface
serving as a protective coat. The skin surrounds a
semi-transparent flesh that encases tiny seeds.
According to a study presented at the 2009 Experimental
Biology conference, a diet rich in blueberries lowers
blood cholesterol levels while improving glucose control
and insulin sensitivity, lowering the risk of subsequent
heart disease and diabetes.
Not only are blueberries yummy, they have some fantastic
health benefits which include:
-
The highest antioxidant capacity of all fresh fruit:
Blue Berries, being very rich in anti oxidants like
Anthocyanin, vitamin C, B complex, vitamin E,
vitamin A, copper (a very effective immune builder
and anti-bacterial), selenium, zinc, iron (promotes
immunity by raising haemoglobin and oxygen
concentration in blood) etc. boost up your immune
system and prevent infections. Once your immunity is
strong, you won't catch colds, fever, pox and all
such nasty viral and bacterial communicable
diseases.
-
Neutralizes free radicals which can affect disease
and aging in the body: Blue Berries bring you the
brightest ray of hope, for they are laden with anti
oxidants and rank number 1 in the world of anti
oxidants. This is mainly due to presence of
Anthocyanin, a pigment responsible for the blue
color of the blue berries. The abundance of
vitamin-C is also a big factor for this as well.
