Study shows link between eating healthy and controlling depression and mood swings.

I find this study fascinating and cannot wait to see the final results.  As a matter of fact, I would really love to get a pre-finalized study copy of the findings.  I know that it would be more than helpful to me.  I have my moments with moods and depressions, though not clinical, particularly seasonal change disorder, or simply put,  "I don't like winter".  I love summer, and when the seasons begin to change, like it is doing this weekend in Connecticut, I really get anxious and sad.  I am going to fix the problem partially by moving back to the South this fall.  I'll still be in and out of CT and NYC all winter, but I hope it will not be my primary residence.

I do think there is a lot of merit in eating healthy foods will reduce many psychological disorders, and it only makes sense to me that there are alternatives to the current pharma solutions (anti-depressants) for both of us.


Whole Foods May be best choice for managing depression in many

Why Mitt Romney is Unlikable !!!

 

A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable"

or that he doesn't "relate well" to people.

Frankly, we struggled to understand why.

So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List

to explain this "unlikablility." 

Top Ten Reasons To Dislike

Mitt Romney:

 

1.

Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura.

Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.

2.

Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her,

including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.  3.

No scandals or skeletons in his closet.

(How boring is that?)

4.

Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice"

when necessary.

5.

Highly intelligent.

Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School...

and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.  6.

Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs,

not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college.

Too square for today's America?  7.

Represents an America of "yesterday",

where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around,

worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!

8.

Has a family of five great sons....

and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab.

But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom,

and that "choice" deserves America's scorn.

9.

Oh yes.....he's a MORMON.

We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion

that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic,

fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.  10.

And one more point.....

pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans.

I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....

as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad.

Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money

made you unreliable to Americans.

 

My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?

Personal Information:

His full Name is:

Willard Mitt Romney

He was Born:

March 12, 1947 and is 65 years old.

His Father:

George W. Romney, former Governor

of the State of Michigan

He was raised in

Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

He is Married to

Ann Romney since 1969; they five children.

Education:

B.A. from Brigham Young University, J.D. and M.B.A. from Harvard University

Religion:

Mormon - The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints

Working Background:

 

After high school,

he spent 30 months in France as a

Mormon missionary.

After going to both 

Harvard Business School and

Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan

bar exam, but never worked as an attorney.

In 1984, 

he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity

investment firm, one of the largest such firms in the

United States.

In 1994, 

he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost

to Ted Kennedy.

He was President and CEO 

of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games

In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of

Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.

Some Interesting Facts about Romney:

 

Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in Massachusetts,

turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people.

Bain Capital also worked to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King,

Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply and many others.

 

 

 

He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for

his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year.

 

He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's

office for eight years.

He was an unpaid bishop and state president of

his church for ten years.

 

He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake

Olympic Committee for three years.

 

He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of

Massachusetts for four years.

 

He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity.

 

Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest self-made men

in our country but has given more back to its citizens in terms of money, service and time than most men.

 

And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity,

almost 19% of his income.... Just for comparison purposes,

Obama gave 1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%.

 

Mitt Romney is Trustworthy:

He will

show us his birth certificate

He will

show us his high school and college transcripts.

He will

show us his social security card.

He will

show us his law degree.

He will

show us his draft notice.

He will

show us his medical records.

He will

show us his income tax records.

He will

show us he has nothing to hide.

 

Mitt Romney's background, experience and

trustworthiness show him to be a great leader and

an excellent citizen for President of the United States.

You may think that Romney may not be the best

representative the Republicans could have selected.

At least I know what religion he is, and that he won't

desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers,

or practice fiscal irresponsibility.

 

I know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle

that the current regime has gotten us into. We won't

like all the things necessary to recover from this

debt, but someone with Romney's background can do it.

 

But, on the minus side, he never was a "Community

Organizer", never took drugs or smoked pot, never

got drunk, did not associate with communists

or terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose pastor

called for God to damn the U.S.
