"Great minds discuss ideas.
Average minds discuss events.
Small minds discuss people."

There are three kinds of people-
Those who make things happen,
Those who watch things happen,
And those who wonder what happened.

Folic Acid Deficiency
For the Sake of Women and Children


 
CDC recommends that all women who are capable of becoming
pregnant take 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) of folic acid every day in the form of a multi-vitamin, in addition to food folates  from a varied diet.
.
  *Men need  folic acid to maintain integrity of heart, blood vessel walls, and immune systems.  Most all can benefit from intake of more micronutrients such as the antioxidants (vitamin A, C, E, zinc, selenium, etc.) and the family of B vitamins, especially folic acid in a balanced combination with B-6 and B-12. As Harvard Experts and Godfrey P. Oakley, Jr., M.D. of the  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states, "Eat Right and Take a Multivitamin."  (Fletcher RH, 2002).

 Natural Beauty Tips
(by Audrey Hepburn)
.
.For attractive lips, speak words of kindness..
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. 
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.. 
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, 
revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. 
 Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, 
you will find one at the end of each of your arms. 
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; 
one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others. ..

..-Audrey Hepburn (read at her funeral years later)

I hope you have time to look at this one!
