Women's Health Detective - "Good Carbs, Bad Carbs – Which Do You Eat?" - Nan Kathryn Fuchs, Ph.D.
If you're on a strict high-protein, you still need carbohydrates. The good ones. In "Good Carbs, Bad Carbs – Which Do You Eat?" Nan Kathryn Fuchs, Ph.D. explains that good carbs are whole foods from plants that contain both sugars and fiber, such as beans, whole grains, starchy vegetables, and fresh fruit. Substitute some of them for saturated (animal) fats and they can help lower your cholesterol. Their fiber binds to cholesterol, carrying it out of your body, and also keeps your blood sugar level.

Soul Currency: Investing Your Inner Wealth for Fulfillment and Abundance - Ernest D. Chu
In tough times, we look outside ourselves for things to change instead of looking inward, where true abundance resides. It’s tempting to downplay important values like generosity, integrity, and intuition. These niceties can take a backseat because we think the world needs to change before we can find wealth. But they are what make it possible to find prosperity, no matter what happens in the world around us. These inner traits help us reach our outer goals.

Kick the Caffeine Habit This Year! - Destress with Teeccino Caffeine Free Herbal Coffee
Coffee drinkers may be surprised to learn that herbal coffee actually has nutritional benefits which help nourish and keep the body healthy. Coffee, on the other hand, only supplies the drug, caffeine, which stimulates your adrenal glands but does not provide energy - actually it could deplete the body's energy reserves. Teeccino is the first herbal coffee on the market - a blend of herbs, grains, fruits and nuts that are roasted, ground and brewed just like coffee. Dark, rich, and full-bodied, Teeccino brings you all the satisfaction of a robust brew with no caffeine reaction. Teeccino tastes mildly sweet from dates and figs, with only 15 calories per cup.

Wholistic Spiritual Healing - "The Healing Potential in a Word (Part 1)" - Daniel Benoir, MD
The words we use shape our perceptions and our interactions with the world. In "The Healing Potential in a Word (Part 1)" Daniel J. Benor, M.D. points out how we take our perceptions of the world for granted because our family, friends, and nation validate our perceptions by consensual
agreement. The words and labels we learn to use come to identify who we are, what we do, how we do it, and how we relate to each other individually and collectively, and how we interact with to the environment. View more
Mind Over Matter: "The Glass That's Half Full: Optimism and Longevity" - Barry Bittman, MD
According to an article in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, the actual difference between optimists and pessimists just might amount to about 12 years of life. There is now proof that it's not the stress that kills us. Rather, it's our perception of stress that makes the difference. In "The Glass That's Half Full: Optimism and Longevity" Barry Bittman, M.D. encourages us to begin with a healthy dose of determination, add willingness to develop a positive belief system and sprinkle in a comforting sense of hope.
