 According
to researchers from the University of Iowa, An apple a
day, along with a natural food diet void of refined
carbohydrates and hydrogenated fats may be just right to
control obesity and prevent metabolic syndrome and fatty

weight loss and improves metabolic dysfunction.

Failures lead to Success
 All
success stories you hear about are stories of great
failures. The only difference is that every time they
failed, they bounced back. This is called failing
forward, rather than backward. Learn good from your
failures and keep moving forward. Keep going and one day
you will be successful in your goal. Learn from your
setbacks, to become victors and not victims.
Ask yourself after every setback: What did I learn from
this experience? Only then will you be able to turn a
stumbling block into a steeping stone.

 "Finish
every day and be done with it. You have done what you
could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept
in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new
day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a
spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day
is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its
hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
