believe most of you would agree that we do not eat as good or healthy as we know we should. When you look at the food we eat some of it is pretty obvious that it is of little nutritional value. However even vegetables and fruits can be less nutritious than we think. Unless you get everything 100% organic you are not getting the best possible nutrients. Much of our food is shipped around the world these days, that means it is picked pretty much before it has a chance of ripening, and then ripens along the trip to the super market. So by the time you buy it and then eat it there is little to no nutritional value left.
However having said that it is still better to eat a vegetable like that than to eat a greasy hamburger with fried potatoes and a 32 oz caffeinated soda. One meal is of little nutritional value, while the other is loaded with grease, oil, sugar and caffeine. I think you can do the math and decide for yourself which the better alternative is. So you may argue that your uncle John eats fast food every day and he is fit as a fiddle. Well you may or may not be right. Have you ever heard of the fit 40 year old, never sick a day in his life, very active in sports, not overweight even by an ounce. Yet one day while walking the dog he keels over from a massive stroke and dies.
I am trying to say that we do not know how everyone will react to what they ingest into their body. For some it may come out as acne within days or weeks of whatever is going on, and for others it may be years and be something completely different. Do you really want to take that chance?
Please consider how much you want to clear up your skin. If you are really serious about it then use this information as a starting point and find out for yourself what the best approach is for you. I am offering you some things to consider and think about, the final decision is however yours.
By eating healthy you will only help yourself and your body. There are no adverse affects. We do know that eating junk food is not good for us, it is only good for our taste buds. So get started on eating more and more vegetables. Consider eating only raw vegetables. There is one thing you need to be aware of, when you are eating only fruits and vegetables while this is great for you, you are also detoxing. And the detoxing may actually make your acne a little worse for a short period of time. So do not be surprised if you break out more while eating veggies or fruits. This will stop as your body no longer needs to get rid of the toxins. If you do this process in moderation this may not even happen, but if you do it too quickly it may.
In making this change you may not only clear up your acne, you may also lose a few pounds, get more energy and overall feel better. I ask you – what do you have to lose? Try it you may find you even like it.

Don’t Worry Be Happy" is a musical hit by the famous Bobby McFerrin. In this song, the message conveyed to its listeners suggests everyone be happy and gives reasons for it. It’s a straight forward message, and one with best of intentions. After all consider the alternatives. Is it really in your best interest to be down, grumpy or miserable? If you live your life this way you will likely become very sick, and that will compound your feeling miserable, which will make you even more miserable and spirals down a slippery slope to depression.
A happy, joyous and positive life is a wonderful journey to be on. It is excellent for physical and mental health. Happiness actually helps us keep out all the stress and depression from coming into our life. Depression and stress are can be holes you never climb out of, and can trigger illnesses such as stroke or cancer.
It is an old saying that the only constant thing in life is change, and that is true when you look into it deeply enough. It is a fact that life is constantly changing. If we do not adapt to the changes we will become anxious, miserable and sick. So decide right now, once and for all to be happy, to be positive and live life with gusto.
Keep in mind everyone is doing the best they know how to. That does not mean it is right, or it is the best possible behavior, it means they don’t know any better. So when you meet and relate with others keep that in mind. If you can try to bring a little happiness into someone else’s life you will both benefit from it.
It comes down to accepting people for who they are, and where they are at the moment. Make the effort to understand and empathize with others. As Dr. Covey states in one of his 7 principles, ‘Seek first to understand’. When you learn why someone is doing what they are doing you can share your happiness with them and watch them either leave or change.
Remember happiness is everywhere all around you and in everyone around you. When you add to it you only bring more and that results in a joyous and healthy life. And as science has proven, a happy life is a long life.
All you have to do is make a decision to be happy and follow through. You can make a choice between sad or joyous, miserable or relaxed, bright or dull and simply move on to a healthy and happy lifestyle choice.
For starters you can follow these steps:
1. Be grateful, for life, your body, your health, just flat out for everything. Look around you and you will see that there is plenty to be thankful for. Thank God for everything that is. Thank the people around you for being helpful, or any reason there may be. This will make them happy and in return give you a relaxed feeling. You are spreading the joy around.
2. Avoid starting your day with listening to the news. Remember bad news sells. Very rarely do we get reports of the good things going on. It is usually about all the negative things going on.
3. Learn to develop inner peace. Find something bigger than yourself and become part of it. Many people find support and help in a religious environment. Find what works for you and go with it.
4. Learn time management. Don’t waste time because you can never get it back.
5. Laugh from the inside and laugh well and full every day – don’t hold it back.
6. Always express and show your appreciation those around you.
7. Working out is a good way to energize yourself.
8. Avoid negativity at all costs.
These are some ways you can become a happier person and as a happier person you will also be a healthier person. It really is as simple as making a decision and then taking action. The choice is up to you, so start playing that tune in your mind: Don’t Worry, Be Happy.

Perhaps if you are a very observant person you may have noticed that people behave differently during the various seasons of the year. Many people suffer from at least a mild form of depression during the winter months. As the days get shorter and colder, the nights get longer and darker. We get less sun than during the spring and summer months. And this lack of sunshine has a physical affect on our body. They have actually now come up with a name for this ailment, it is called Seasonal Affective Disorder, (SAD for short).
