Broccoli
Few vegetables are as divisive as broccoli. Either you love it
or hate it--and researchers have even studied the reasons why.
Cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cauliflower
and brussels sprouts pack a serious punch
against cancer.
That's one reason why Joel Fuhrman, M.D.,
author of Eat for Health (Gift of
Health Press) and Eat to Live
(Little, Brown and Company),
recommends eating foods
from that family every day.

PRAYER
Gracious God, when the
struggles of life hem me in
on every side, open me to the
freedom of your presence
that can help me see beyond
every restriction, every limit
that binds me.
O God, give me the wisdom
to see the subtle ways people
can be enslaved and the
courage to speak for those
who have no voice. I ask this
for the sake of your love.
O God, when we wake to yet
another day of wonder and
joy in the beauty of your
creation, give us the heart to
keep our needs simple, our
desires soft, our wills pliable,
so that we never participate
in the exploitation of the
earth, which is the work of
your hands.
Got
10
Minutes?
That's all the daily exercise it takes to
increase your life expectancy,
according
to a 2012 National Institutes of Health (NIH) study.
Start with a baby step: 10 minutes of exercise three
days a week.
Do 10 minutes of jumping jacks (set a timer). Rest up.
Most adults need between seven and eight hours of
sleep to be healthy, according to the NIH. Skimping on
sleep can affect your mood and even your heart.
