What follows are some helpful “bits” to support health and positivity adapted from Joy Brown’s, “Your Healthy Tidbits” newsletter.
Each week Joy continues to find positive light items of heavy importance to share with readers of her newsletter, which continues to be a great source of ideas for me.
TIDBIT #1 “Unlock your potential” Here’s how to start:
1. Be Thankful
“When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises. Gratitude is the practice of finding the good in each day. Life can easily become stagnant, mundane, and monotonous, but that changes depending on what we choose to see. There’s always a silver lining, if you look for it.” Source: http://paulocoelhoblog.com/2015/12/15/10-powerful-life-lessons-from-the-alchemist/
2. See further
Try to look at the world in terms of what you would like to see happen, not what already is. Remember, some of the greatest inventions would not have happened if people chose to accept the world as it is. Great achievements and innovations begin with a mindset that ignores “the impossible.” Source: Ibid (paraphrased)
TIDBIT # 2 What we eat really does matter
A healthier way to lower cholesterol: French researchers found that a flavonoid called phloridzin that is found only in apples may protect post-menopausal women from osteoporosis and may also increase bone density. Boron, another ingredient in apples, also strengthens bones. 
Additionally, the pectin in apples lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. People who eat 2 apples per day may lower their cholesterol by as much as 16% ! Source: www.healthdiaries.com/eatthis/10-health-benefits-of-apples.html

Honey for health & healing
While honey does boast higher fructose levels, it also contains a bounty of cancer-defending antioxidants, and local honey has been said to help alleviate allergy symptoms. 
Don’t limit raw honey’s use to your tea, either. Use it to speed healing on burns, and as a natural antiseptic on cuts and scrapes. Honey also has a low glycemic index, so adding it to your tea or yogurt won’t lead to energy-busting blood sugar drops later in the day. Source: http://www.rodalewellness.com/food/sweeteners
TIDBIT # 3 Staying healthier makes more sense
Between now and 2030, the combined global cost of treating the five most common diseases – cancer, diabetes, heart & lung disease, and mental health disorders – will top $47 trillion, according to a new report by the World Economic Forum (WEF). They warn that if nothing is done to curb this rising healthcare crisis, the global economy will most certainly collapse due to financial insolvency. Now, more than ever, it’s important to maintain a healthy & active lifestyle, which includes eating whole foods-based in rich disease-preventing nutrients. Integrating organic produce, pasture-based meats, healthy oils, medicinal herbs and many other health-promoting foods into the mainstream, are a surefire way to reduce disease and the global healthcare bill in the process. And remember to keep your body’s nerve system healthy with regular chiropractic adjustments! Source: www.naturalnews.com/033651_chronic_disease_expenditures.html#ixzz1YnJwG92b
TIDBIT #4 Competitive performance improved by adjustments
Participants at the US Masters Swimming Summer Nationals (USMS) received chiropractic care from senior student interns supervised by faculty and alumni of an Atlanta, Georgia chiropractic college. The positive feedback from the swimmers was tremendous. Comments included “I haven’t swam this well in decades!” 
and “This was my best time in 12 years!” The swimmers credited their improvement to their chiropractic care. Two of the swimmers who received chiropractic care set world age group records.
