****************** Things do not change; we change. Henry David Thoreau ************ Eat Whole-Grain Bread In a recent study, people who consumed more white bread than whole-grain breads tended to have the highest risk of adult-onset diabetes. Other foods made from highly refined flours or sugars, such as cookies, crackers, and cakes, also were associated with an increased risk of the condition. Fill your plate with fruits, vegetables, whole-grain breads, brown rice, and whole-wheat pasta, which help keep blood sugar levels steady. These foods have a low glycemic index, which means that they are broken down slowly by the body, helping keep blood sugar levels stable. On the other hand, foods made from white flour and refined sugars are high-glycemic-index foods; they tend to cause spikes in blood sugar levels. In addition to eating a balanced diet that focuses on low-glycemic-index foods, other ways to reduce your risk of diabetes are to exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight. Glycemic index and dietary fiber and the risk of type 2 diabetes. Hodge, A. M., English, D. R., O'Dea, K., Giles, G. G., Diabetes Care 2004 Nov;27(11):2701-2706. -- Onions Pungent shallots and certain varieties of yellow and red onions are highest in flavonoids that have potent antioxidant and cancer-fighting abilities, a new study determined. Sweet onions have lower concentrations of flavonoids. Add onions to soups, salads, and sandwiches for an antioxidant boost. Flavonoids are antioxidants that mop up free radicals. Free radicals can damage cells and potentially contribute to chronic diseases such as cancer, heart and blood vessel disease, and diabetes. A recent study revealed that strong-tasting onions and shallots are highest in flavonoids and may inhibit the growth of liver and colon cancer cells. If you want to maximize your intake of antioxidants, choose scallions, shallots, and yellow and red onions over sweet or white varieties, which tend to have a lower concentration of antioxidants. Dark chocolate, tea, apples, and cranberries are other good sources of flavonoid antioxidants. Varietal differences in phenolic content and antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of onions.

And what does this mean? Sometimes the word “try” is used to mean “I really don’t want to do what you have asked, and I don’t know how to say no to you,” or “I don’t have sufficient confidence in myself to make a full commitment to getting this done,” or “I don’t know what I really want in life.” When I hear people express their dreams or outcomes with the word try, I usually ask myself, “How serious is this person about achieving their dreams?” What messages are they sending to their unconscious mind? I see this as having one foot on the playing field and the other foot in the stands and hoping to score a touchdown. Highly unlikely! Trying is a waste of energy. Other equally noncommittal words that we use are want, hope and wish. “Try? There is no try. There is only do or not do.” Take a moment to review your “to do” list – the one you keep in your head or the one that you actually write down. Do you find the sheer number of items on your list overwhelming and demotivating? How many of the items fall under the category, “I will try to get this done”? What do you think is possible and how would you feel if, right now, you followed Yoda’s advice and identified those that you are clearly prepared to do (and have the time and resources to do so), while removing the others from the list? For each of your dreams, identify clearly what it is you want; define it in measurable terms with time frames and commit to doing it.

"Our flag symbolizes our taxes," he said. "We get red when we talk about them, white when we get our tax bill, and blue after we pay them." "That's the same with us," the American said, "only we see stars, too." -- A fine is a tax for doing something wrong. **************** For more information, please visit our website or contact us at 613 692-1424 or info@renewal.ca Copyright © 2006, Renewal Technologies Inc.
