Everyone loved the ride through these beautiful canyons One of our own ORPS residents, Kristi is a wrangler there so mention her when you call.
Keep your Brain and Body Healthy The brain is like a muscle that needs constant exercise to remain strong. Your central nervous system controls everything in your body from digestion and assimilation of food eaten to movement and even breathing. The brain is at the very center of this complex connection and therefore needs extra care. Exercising your brain helps not only with optimum function of connected systems but also with improved cognitive function. This means improved alertness, concentration, memory and even the ability to solve problems. One way to keep the brain healthy is by giving it your favorite foods. These include healthy fats like Omega 3, vitamins, minerals and of course water. You could also keep your brain healthy by challenging it. Try reading a book, solving a puzzle or whatever else you need to get it fired up. Food is also the fuel that keeps your body and mind strong and functional. It can also be the poison that slowly destroys and incapacitates you. It all depends not only on what you eat and drink, but how much and how often you eat it. To keep your body healthy, it is important to avoid anything that could cause it harm. And so far, nothing consumable has been proven to be as dangerous to the human body as drugs and alcohol. Like junk food, they fill your body with toxins, kill healthy cells and eventually reduce your body ’ s functional capacity. The best thing to do would be to avoid these substances completely. Ditch the whiskey and try some healthy fruit juice instead, and of course lots of water . Give up the cigarettes and get a load of all the crisp, clean and fresh air around you. Whatever your ‘ poison ’ is, give it up and watch how fast your mind and body will transform into a flawless machine. While you adopt a balanced, healthy diet, it is also im- portant to stay away from unhealthy processed foods. There is a very good reason why it is referred to as junk food as it will fill your body with unhealthy toxins and excess fats. One mind and body, take care of it
