W e all know that we should be making smart choices when we shop around

for the right foods to support our health and vitality. Your body is a machine that runs best on quality fuel — here are some tips on keeping your engine in tip top shape!

Eat Avocados

Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, both of which sup-port healthy skin. Try them on salads, sandwiches, and even in smoothies.

Pack in the Potassium

People who stick to diets that are rich in potassium may be less prone to high blood pressure. Besides reducing sodium and taking other heart-healthy steps, eat potassium-packed fruit such as bananas, cantaloupe, and oranges.

Grab the Garlic

Adding raw or lightly cooked garlic and onions to your meals may help keep you healthy. Garlic has antiviral and antibacterial properties and is believed to boost immunity.

Hydrate with H2O

It improves oral health, promotes weight loss and provides energy. Studies show drinking water raises alertness. Next time you need an energy boost, skip the coffee and energy drinks and take in that H2O.

Drink Green Tea

Hot or iced, green tea is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have pow-erful effects on the body. The benefits include but are not limited to: improved brain function, increased metabolism, and a possible lower risk of cancer.

The Optimist Creed

This month focuses on ambition. You should al-

ways ambitiously take care of your mental health. The Optimist Creed may help to remind you of that.

The Optimist Creed

• I promise to be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

• I promise to talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet.

• I promise to make all my friends feel that there is something in them.

• I promise to look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

• I promise to think only the best, work only for the best and to expect only the best.

• I promise to be as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

• I promise to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to great achievements of the future.

• I promise to wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature I meet a smile.

• I promise to give so much time to the improve-ment of myself that I have no time to criticize oth-ers.

• I promise to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Fuel for Your Body … Cont’d

Don’t Skip Breakfast. Good fat and fiber in the morning means less hunger late in the after-noon, when you’re most likely to feel tired and binge on simple carbs and sugary sweets. An early start on eating also keeps your metabo-lism more active throughout the day. Try steel cut oatmeal, farm fresh hard boiled eggs with some whole grain toast or a fresh fruit smoothie.

Chia Seeds

They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and the omega-3s in chia seeds can help reduce inflam-mation, enhance cognitive performance and re-duce high cholesterol. In addition, chia seeds are also high in fiber, and contain 18 percent of the daily recommended intake of calcium.

Eat Organic

Avoid processed and refined foods as much as possible and focus on quality. Eat more good fats, complex carbohydrates and whole grain foods and consume organic products when possible.
