Don't you just love it when something truly great and unexpected happens? The next time you're surprised by something going unexpectedly your way, make sure to mentally thank the universe - and have an attitude of 'I can't wait to see what exciting and brilliant new things happen for me next!' thelawofattraction.com

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are important to know about since they mimic natural hormones in female and male sex hormones, estrogen and androgen and also thyroid hormones. They can interfere with development, reproduction, neurological functioning, metabolism, satiety and your immune system function, and much more. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported the that effects of EDCs on your hormonal systems "can lead to obesity, infertility or reduced fertility, learning and memory difficulties, Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease, as well as a variety of other diseases." There may be no safe level of exposure for many EDCs, and the health effects are so great everyone needs to take proactive steps to avoid them. The worst and most widely used ones, identified include: Bisphenol-A (BPA); Dioxin; Atrazine; Phthalates; Perchlorate; Fire retardants; Lead; Mercury; Arsenic; Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), and Organophosphate; and Pesticides. Switching to certified organic and/or homemade personal care products, filtering your water, buying products that come in glass bottles and jars rather than plastic or cans, eating organic produce and grass fed animal products can minimize exposure to EDC's, herbicides and veterinary drugs. Even thermal paper has BPA so request paperless receipts. healthnutnews.com

Diet Tip: Instead of mindless munching, tune in to the foods you eat with all of your senses and make it an experience in pleasure. Once you start eating mindfully, ditch the foods you don't really like and slowly savor the ones you do. The slower and more attuned you are to your meals, the greater the likelihood you'll eat less. sheknows.com

Chiropractic is based on proven scientific truths. There is one undisputed aspect of chiropractic often overlooked by most patients: that the nervous system is the master system that controls and regulates virtually every cell, tissue, organ and system of the body. It is potentially earthshaking to patients, who are far more likely to believe genetics exert greater influence over their well-being than the integrity of their nervous system. Most people have no idea that a stomach problem could actually be a nerve communication problem. The sensory nerves (nerves that carry the pain messages) make up a minute percentage of their nervous system. Many chiropractors use technologies that measure and report the integrity of the nervous system. Many people have no symptoms, but a very compromised nervous system. Chiropractic is about nerves and not bones; about function and not feeling. chiropracticfortheworld.org
