For the BODY, chia seeds are not only beneficial for bone and heart health, but have a ton of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. For the MIND, they help with concentration, learning, and memory. For the SPIRIT, or mood, they help boost it and help with stress relief and that’s something to feel calm about!

Why drive yourself 🍌bananas in this “fast-paced rat race”, when you can eat one instead! For your MIND, bananas help enhance memory and concentration. Bananas aid the BODY’s wellbeing with potassium and magnesium aiding heart health and relieving muscle cramps due to exercise (not to mention providing energy to exercise in the first place)! For your SPIRIT, or emotional wellbeing, bananas contain dopamine (a neurotransmitter that plays a role in how we feel pleasure) which benefits mood.

Allow yourself to slow down and fuel yourself with gentleness and kindness so that you have it in you to share with others. Everything is connected.

“Remind me each day that the race is not always to the swift; that there is more to life than increasing its speed. Let me look upward into the towering oak and know that it grew great and strong because it grew slowly and well.” Orin L. Crain

We previously posted on apples, and compared apples to apples, and now it’s time compare apples to oranges, and as it turns out, they are both good for our MIND BODY & SPIRIT! For our SPIRIT wellness, or mood, some research suggests the calming effects of oranges help with anxious emotions. To support BODY wellness, oranges support immune function and reduce inflammation, and due to their flavonoids, they support the memory and learning of the MIND. Since we were comparing apples to oranges, and mentioned the “bad apples” in the previous post, oranges can be seen as a hydrating ray of sunshine for our sometimes dry, hurt and depleted insides. As has been said, a broken heart is where the light enters us, our bruises make us more resilient and caring, and therefore, more human.

“In the hour of adversity be not without hope
For crystal rain falls from black clouds.” Persian poem

Sometimes, the “bad apples” or toxic people in our lives are revealed to us in unexpected ways. Be grateful for the learning lessons they bring you, and whenever their truth is revealed, know it is better in this moment, than any later time.

Sometimes, we don’t want to see, let alone believe the truth, but they keep showing themselves to us over and over until we finally learn the lesson they are trying to teach us!

Sometimes we don’t get it right away because it can be subtle. Be mindful of subtleties as they can negatively impact any or all parts of our Mind, Body and Spirit wellness. Listen and tune into your Mind, Body and Spirit. What is it telling you about your relationships? TAKE CARE OF YOU FIRST! When a toxic bad apple sabotages your successes, impacts your other relationships, or your finances, ask yourself, why are you keeping this toxic “bad apple” around only to spoil the rest of your good batch? We have choices. Letting go of toxicity doesn’t have to be mean. Yes, you can detach with love! You can say and act what you mean, but don’t say and act it mean! It’s also important for each of us to take an honest inventory of what kind of apples we are, and what kind we would like to be; be kind.

Good apples on the other hand as suggested by some studies nourish your MIND by helping improve your memory, nourish your BODY by lowering cholesterol and phytochemicals that decrease inflammation and nourish your SPIRIT or emotional wellbeing by increasing dopamine (the happy hormone).

A healthy 🍎apple a day just may keep the doctor away! Tomorrow, we will be comparing oranges to apples, stay tuned!🍊

🥒Persian cucumbers, as the name implies originated in the Persian empire and have now spread across continents! For the BODY, they are full of antioxidants that promote glowing skin, help regulate blood sugar, and help keep us hydrated. For MIND, they help protect the brain’s nerve cells and therefore aid memory. For SPIRIT, or mood, they contain vitamin B1, B5, and B7 that help with anxiousness and stress, and when you aren’t so anxious and stressed, you are naturally in a better mood!

“The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself and everything that you want, you already are.” – Rumi
