Eat Healthy Day - November 2, 2022

DIANE'S CORNER .. 

Celebrate Eat Healthy Day

It’s no secret that your diet plays a vital role in your overall health and your ability to recover from injuries and illness. Every year we find more and more that what you eat can have dramatic effects on your quality of life, and every food choice can have lasting repercussions that stay with you throughout the years. Eat Healthy Day was established to remind people of the importance of managing their diets, and to stay aware of what they put in their bodies.

History of Eat Healthy Day

The movement to Eat Healthy Day goes back nearly as far as the Food Pyramid, though conversations about the important role food play in our health have gone back much further. As health science advances we have learned how including certain elements in our diet can improve our health, or be detrimental to a long and healthy life. Salt has been a central ingredient in many recipes and styles of food, and that, in turn, has led to problems with heart health as a high-sodium diet can lead to high blood pressure in those with sodium-sensitive blood pressure.

The food we eat contains the building blocks that go into our body, and just like any construction if we use low-quality materials, we can’t expect the building to last the ages. There’s a common misconception that healthy food has to taste bad, but the truth of the matter is that healthy food can be some of the most delicious you put in your mouth! Rich fruits, savory low-fat chicken, crisp, tasty salads, and a myriad of nuts, seeds, berries, all await you taking the time to get to know them.

When Eat Healthy Day rolls around why not take the time to examine your diet and step out on a limb with how you eat?

JOKE OF THE DAY

WORD OF THE DAY

hazmat

MEANING:

noun: Dangerous material, for example, something toxic, explosive, or inflammable.
adjective: Relating to hazardous material.

ETYMOLOGY:

A shortening of hazardous + material. Earliest documented use: 1972.

USAGE:

“Charity Stinks. At least it will for Nathan Oystrick and Jordan LaVallee, a couple of AHL players who have decided to wear their hockey equipment for 27 hours because someone said it would be a fun way to raise money for a couple of charities. [They] have to play in next Wednesday’s game against Peoria Riverman then stay fully dressed overnight before practicing the next day, making appearances at a handful of Chicago restaurants and finally shedding their wretched gear at precisely 10 pm. No word on whether hazmat officials will be standing by in case of a spill.”
Allan Maki; Charity Stinks; Globe and Mail (Toronto, Canada); Dec 12, 2007.

(Not So) TOTALLY USELESS FACTS OF THE DAY

The human brain can do many fascinating things. One thing it can not do is create faces. The faces in your dreams are not figments of your imagination. They are actual people that you have seen at some point in your life. Your mind stores them away until they make an appearance in your dreams.

The 'paper' used to make money in the United States isn't really paper. It's 75% cotton and 25% linen; this is why money doesn't disintegrate in the washing machine.

When someone or something is “long in the tooth”, that means it’s old, worn out, on it’s last leg, about to give, etc. But where did the saying come from? It comes from horses. The teeth of a horse continue to grow as it gets older. So as the years go by, each tooth gets longer and longer, hence the expression “long in the tooth.”

thanks, Kris

You can use 'ice breaker questions' to build a rapport, enabling strangers to engage in back and forth conversion. With a little practice and possibly a beer or two, you’ll be breaking more ice than the Titanic.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

His mother had often said, When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action. She had emphasized the corollary of this axiom even more vehemently: when you desired a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it. -Lois McMaster Bujold, writer (b. 2 Nov 1949)
