Women
who had sufficient amounts of vitamin D are 32 percent
less likely to develop fibroids than women with
insufficient vitamin D, according to a study from
researchers at the National Institutes of Health.
Spending more than one hour outside per day is
sufficient for decreased risk of fibroids. The body can
make vitamin D when the skin is exposed to the sun, or
vitamin D can come from food and supplements.

Just get started
Instead
of worrying and complaining about how difficult it is,
just get started. Rather than wasting your time and
effort on excuses for not moving forward, just go ahead
and get started. There are a thousand good reasons to
delay, to procrastinate, to avoid making the effort.
Forget about them all and just get started.
As soon as you begin, you put momentum on your side. And
momentum is a powerful force to have working in your
favor. As long as you're standing still, time and
momentum work against you. Yet the moment you get up and
get started, you turn that momentum around and put it to
work for you.
The small effort it takes to get started will pay off
many times over. Why just sit there when you could be
getting wherever you desire to go? Why let time work
against you when you could be using every moment to your
advantage?
Even though conditions may not be perfect, now is the
perfect moment to start. In an instant, whenever you
decide, you can be firmly on the path to success and
achievement. Just get started, then keep on going, and
before long you'll have it done.
