Did You Know?

 Citrus fruits

Citrus fruits, including grapefruit, oranges, and lemons, have powerful blood-pressure-lowering effects. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and compounds that may help by reducing heart disease risk factors like high blood pressure.

A study with participants demonstrated that a daily lemon juice drink along with walking significantly reduced blood pressure, an effect that the researchers attributed to the citric acid and content of lemons.

Studies have also shown drinking orange and grapefruit juice may help reduce blood pressure. Although grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interfere with several common blood-pressure-lowering medications, so consult your healthcare provider before adding this fruit to your diet. It is always best to check with your primary healthcare.

Workout Tip For The Day

Cooling down tip…
After you exercise, let your body cool down for five to 10 minutes. Places to stretch are your calf muscles, upper thighs, hamstrings, lower back, and chest. This post-workout stretch will allow your heart rate and muscles to recover and return back to its normal.

Poem

Frozen by MwsR

Can you feel it?

Can you feel it way down deep?

Or has it haunted you in your sleep?

You have become numb and changed

The pieces that were once limber are stiff.

Why is it that we stay on that frozen cliff?

Too many things have been affected

Your goals and your visions have become neglected.

It’s as if your own soul has been rejected.

You can no longer see clearly now there is a haze

You try to get back what time tries to erase

When in all actuality you cannot continue the chase.

Waiting for that one rock to knock you and shatter you into many pieces

Hoping that the Sun will warm you and bring you back to living

Where once breath was inside of you now you have nothing that’s giving.

You are frozen.

You are frozen in time.

You are frozen in time because you have grown cold.

No spark has left no flame will burn

Until this curse has risen

You need to realize what it is you have to give and how much more of your life you have to live, just listen.

You don’t have to be frozen

Time doesn’t have to freeze

You can avoid being cold…

The spark is there it will ignite the flame

The curse will rise and you shall remain

You can give and continue to live.

9/11

Where was you when the world stopped turning?

Well… Lots on my mind. Too much to write.

Love Is by MwsR

Love is so complicated…yet simple.
Love is looking at my granddaughter’s dimple.
Love is cotton candy sticking to your finger.
Love is taking the phone off the ringer.
Love is possible if ever something were to be.
Love is for you and it’s for me.
Love is ignorant and foolish and blind.
Love is the clock you want to unwind.
Love is a strand.
Love is not numberable like sand.
Love is great.
Love is passion and a full plate.
💘love love……
