When you can see the winter months comming its important to keep your health attitude psoitive.
There are thousands of studies linking good health to positive attitudes. Here are some simple ways to stay positive when the days are getting shorter:
1. Look for the positive in everything. Yes the glass "half-full" attitude will increase your chances of a longer healthier life. Optimists have a 23 per cent lower risk of heart disease and a 55 per cent lower risk of death from all causes, compared with their more pessistic peers.
2. Have faith in your innate ability to be healthy. Here is an experiment I don't suggest you try. Cut your arm and look at the cut for 1 hour. Almost immediately your body will begin to heal that cut and return you to your optimum health. This same process of innate health is with you your whole life - trust it.
3. De-stress with exercise(s) that are enjoyable but require some effort or disipline. This may include light walking, YOGA, reading, or meditation. Whatever it is, it is something you do for you.

As the autumn days roll in, look to the following fruits and vegetables that are full of summer yet preparing us for the cooler months ahead. Fruits
Apples, bananas, figs, grapes, kiwifruit, lemons, limes, oranges, papayas, passionfruit, pears, plums, and pomegranates. Vegetables
Beetroot, broccoli, cabbage, capsicum, carrot, celery, cucumber, eggplant, leek, lettuce, mushrooms, parsnip, peas, potato, pumpkin, silverbeet, spinich, sweet potato, and zucchini. During the transistion months from summer to Autume it is important to transition what you are eating. As you do this ensure you eat what is in season. For the diet that Heidi and I follow you will need to know your blood type and then read "Eat Right 4 Your Type" by Dr Peter J.D'Adamo.

The Biology of Belief
by Bruce H. Lipton
(faculty member of the NZ School of Chiropractic) This groundbreaking book gives us remarkable insight into the interaction between mind and body. Where previously we have always believed that genes and DNA solely control our biology, we are now beginning to understand the link between mind and matter that will have a profound effect on our personal lives.
"A fasinating book looking at the dynamics of DNA, our environment, and previously held false beliefs about how we influence our health. I reccomend this book to everyone who wishes to understand how and what they do and think will affect the health of their very own cellular function." - Dr Matt Short
