Anti Ageing Tips from Pat

Our mind is our most powerful tool. It tells our body everything to do and unless you keep positive thoughts flowing through your mind, your energy will be drained.

Studies have proven that 75% of our thoughts in one hour are negative. We all go through rough times whether it's financial, illness, relationships, divorce, unemployment or natural disasters, we have to overcome the negative. Problems are just obstacles we must overcome and take something positive from it.

In 1994 I broke my back in a fall. It was devastating for me and not only because of the actual physical limitation at the time, but the emotional issues that came with it; Loss of my marriage. But in reality it turned into a wake up call and I realized I had to change my life, let go of the past, and move on. Learning to change the negative into a positive isn't easy, but once you get it, you'll find yourself living a happier, healthier and more productive life.

That positive energy is one of the most powerful anti ageing tools we have. Embrace it!

Healthy Shopping - Tips from Pat

Earlier I wrote about how important it is to read labels when you shop. Sunday seems to be a big day for heading to the grocery store for the upcoming work week.

For those fortunate enough to live in an area where freshly picked produce is available consider yourself lucky. For the rest of us, we need to be aware and vigilant about what is available and affordable when speaking about "fresh". Some items will sit in a warehouse for weeks, perhaps months before making it to your local store. Eggs and fruit (especially apples) are items which spend time in warehouses. Try to find "fresh" eggs in your area. A local farm is your best source of fresh eggs and cheaper!

Always buy produce which is in season. And when berry season comes around, load up. Freeze those blueberries, blackberries and strawberries! Berries are loaded with antioxidants and vitamins. A great source of anti-ageing properties.

More anti-ageing tips coming this week!
