Summer Inspiration: In Full Color

My favorite season is summer. I enjoy waking up in the morning and overhear the mowing of the lawns, albeit in the far background, the sound of the sprinklers watering the gardens. Wild turns beautiful in the form of wildflower fields that when driving by make me smile and wish I lived in a place where it was always summer. Yesterday I took my son to the zoo, and we were able to experience a handful of different experiences where we fed the giraffes, got sunburned one minute only to be showered by the unexpected torrential rain. Summer season is exceptional. Here is to an eternal summer attitude.

Freezing Ovaries For Preserving Fertility Is On The Rise and Other Stories

The thought of freezing ovaries for preserving fertility is mind-blowing. There have been several success stories of women having children after retransplantation of their ovaries. Ovary freezing is used most often to preserve fertility on cancer patients who don’t have time to freeze their eggs before undergoing chemotherapy. The procedure has nearly a 40 percent global success rate. Read more about it here.

I love to run. I never thought I was going to be able to run since I was never an athletic child then I discovered that if I tried harder or alas push myself by running for 5 straight minutes the first week, 10 the next and so on, it could get myself to do it for straight 40 minutes. I know that’s nothing for professional runners, but for me, that is enough. And towards the end of those 40 minutes, my body lets me know it’s time to stop, so I listen. I noticed that after I run I feel better in general, more relaxed but at the same time more excited, I feel more powerful and capable. All mindfulness-based practices that make us concentrate on our breathing and being present can give us psychological and cognitive benefits. I was happy when I came across this article about What Does Running Do To Your Brain. It explains with scientific facts how running can improve the functioning of our general being.

And while you are there, working on your body while working on your brain, work some more and learn how to improve your memory, Science tells us the key.
