Having trouble staying positive ? It seems like everyday our minds can come up with a reason to get us in a funk. Here is a simple effective trick to use:
When you inhale through your nose you will feel a slight cool sensation. When you exhale you will feel a warm sensation. When you "feel" the breath for that moment without a pause in between the breath you actually stop 'thinking' for brief period of time.
When negative thoughts come up switch your awareness to the feeling of your breath; this will help ease the intensity of the negative thought.

Seasonal Allergies ?
If you have seasonal allergies like I do it can be a real pain and throw off your body.
Try taking a natural alternative supplement to help out. I've had some great success with an Eyebright complex from Natures Way that contains goldenseal and cayenne pepper; both which are known to combat seasonal allergies.

Love Salmon ?
If you enjoy eating Salmon and recognize the beneficial properties of omega oils it offers
remember to ask the restaurant if they are serving "wild caught" salmon. This is a much healthier choice because of the reduced pollutants/contaminants found in farm raised salmon.

Hair Loss supplements/foods of the week.
Most men and women are going to experience some hair loss and/or greying beginning in their mid thirties or early 40's.
Some vitamins to target to prevent or possibly improve this are specifically Biotin and MSM. Both of these have properties that enhance qualities of skin, hair and nails. MSM is a sulphur that is also good for joint health and reducing inflammation.
Other food sources to consider are Flax Seeds/Oil, wheat germ and brewers yeast.
Brewers yeast and wheat germ both contain naturally occurring B vitamins that will help keep hair growing strong.
Mix these ingredients in your protein shake or sprinkle them on your cereal/oatmeal.
