Schedule time for yourself: Make it a point to step out of the office to recharge during a crazy day… and actually put it on your calendar. Go to a coffee shop, walk in the park, go to a bookstore, get a manicure… Whatever it is, these recharge "appointments" should be just as important as any other client or team meeting you have during the day. goodthinkinc.com

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued updated guidance on the use of dental amalgam ("silver" fillings), including a safety warning to health care providers and the public. They are recommending certain high-risk groups avoid getting dental amalgam whenever possible and appropriate because these groups may be at a greater risk for potential harmful health effects of mercury vapor released from these fillings. The following groups should avoid getting dental amalgams because of the potential harmful health effects: Pregnant women and their developing fetuses; Women who are planning to become pregnant; Nursing women and their newborns and infants; Children, especially those younger than six years of age; People with pre-existing neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease; People with impaired kidney function; and People with known heightened sensitivity (allergy) to mercury or other components of dental amalgam. So, if it's potentially dangerous for these groups, what is it doing to the rest of us?? healthnutnews.com

At breakfast, go ahead and drink orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water instead of juice or soda. The average American consumes an extra 245 calories a day from soft drinks. That's nearly 90,000 calories a year... or 25 pounds! And research shows that despite the calories, sugary drinks don't trigger a sense of fullness the way that real food does. rd.com

There's good reason why, for years, professional athletes (including Michael Phelps, Jerry Rice & Joe Montana) have made it a point to regularly get chiropractic adjustments. In fact, over 50% of NFL teams have a chiropractor on staff so the players always have access to adjustments, stretches and exercises when needed. Because it is so effective at pain-based and pathological conditions, one of the most overlooked aspects of chiropractic care is that it enhances functionality in everyday life, and also athletic performance. Studies have shown that when it comes to supporting recovery and improving physical performance, chiropractic is helpful because it: Reduces inflammatory cytokines; Boosts the immune system; Enhances pulmonary function; Decreases mental and oxidative stress; Relieves muscle tension; and can naturally increase energy levels. "Chiropractic care can help with a multitude of sports injuries… The goal is to help reduce inflammation, enhance joint function and reduce pain. It will also help improve range of motion, minimize recovery time, and maximize athletic performance." draxe.com

Beets boast an impressive nutritional profile. They are low in calories, yet high in valuable vitamins and minerals. In fact, they contain a bit of almost all the vitamins and minerals that you need. Beets are a good source of fiber, which is beneficial for digestive health, as well as reducing the risk of a number of chronic health conditions. Studies in isolated human cells and rats have shown that the pigments in beets may help reduce the growth of cancer cells. healthline.com
