Wear Purple for Peace Day - May 16th

From the Healing Bridge Physical Therapy
May 2010 Wellness Notes

by office staff Leila Irwin and Gina Rogers

One would think that Wear Purple for Peace Day originated in protest of a particular war or conflict. Or, perhaps it should have been conceived by the UN, or another peacemaking or peace keeping group. There is no evidence supporting the origin of this holiday stemming from these sources. Of course this holiday intrigued us at HBPT since our logo colors are purple and teal.

Some unknown originators decided to promote world peace by establishing a Wear Purple for Peace Day. The main goal is to make the world a peaceful place.

Here are some of our peaceful healthy purple tips for you:

1. Call your best friend to take a long healthy walk together, but remember to stop and smell the lilacs.
2. Gather up your family and/or friends to go check out the Tumalo Lavender Farm this summer. The lavender scent can help put you in a relaxed, peaceful state of mind. Lavender has been used for ages for its calming benefits.
3. Add blue berries (even though they are blue, they leave a lovely purple stain) several times a week to your daily diet. The USDA has determined blueberries contain the highest levels of antioxidants.
4. Wear purple while shopping for heart healthy purple foods such as eggplant, purple cabbage, purple peppers, purple potatoes, purple onions and even purple basil. They all contain flavonoids which are heart-healthy, beneficial to the cardiovascular system and can lower your risk of heart disease.
5. Meditate in shades of purple. A purple aura (also known as violet and indigo) means that you are in a good space spiritually, and that you are close to experiencing a state of open awareness contributing to a relaxed state.

We would love to share with you this quotation:

If we have no peace,
it is because we have forgotten
that we belong to each other.
-Mother Teresa-
