‘Flower Power’:This was a slogan used during the ’60s

and early ’70sas symbol of passive resistance

and non-violence ideology,rooted in opposition to the Vietnam War.The use of flowers and other props were

meant to turn anti-war rallies intoa form of street theater,

thereby reducing thefear, anger and threat

inherent within protests.(Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Tart Is SmartNational Cherry Month in

Februarygives you a good reason to choose

cherries— specifically tart cherries.

This sweetly sour snackcontains anthocyanins,

compounds that contributeto the fruit’s flavor,

bright red color,and numerous health benefits.

Research shows that tart cherriesmay lower the risk of heart

disease;fight inflammation

in arthritis + gout patients;provide relief to sore muscles;

and promote better sleep._______

Switch Hands for aBrain Boost!

Exercising your brain can be as easy asswitching hands.

Doctors advise engaging in a familiaractivity

using your non-dominant hand.Try brushing your teeth,

eating, combing your hair, orwriting or drawing

with your “wrong” hand.Forcing your brain

to help with your “wrong” handrequires your brain

to create new neural pathways andcan stimulate the brain’s

cognitive and creative functions.
