21.01.2022 BE A LOVING PRESENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS People start to heal when they feel heard and held. When you attempt to save, change and control another it only leads to more suffering. The greatest challenge is when you bare witness to a loved ones pain and suffering. You can see them hurting but how to not carry that pain as if its your own burden... Well, with a complete surrendering and letting go... by placing full and complete belief, trust and faith in the power of L...ove. Simply love the other just where they are in full acceptance and meet them there with no judgements; free of your own mental afflictions being projected out. Its being able to completely be present with anothers suffering and allowing your heart to gape wide open regardless of whats happening. To simply BE A LOVING PRESENCE. This is the most powerful transformative action to take that will bring about true lasting healing and change not only to the Healing of your loved one but also to yourself. People start to heal when they feel heard and held.

13.01.2022 Obesity linked to the gut and oral microbiome The gut and oral microbiomes play a crucial role in obesity progression, according to recent research. Evidence ...indicates a close association between obesity and both the bacterial community of the gut and the bacterial community of the oral cavity. A recent research review highlighted the following recent findings in the link between microbiomes and obesity: * Obese participants have a reduced bacteria richness and abundance in the gut, leading to gut dysbiosis and disturbances in metabolism. * Reduction in some gut bacteria increases systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. * Oral microbiome alterations can induce dysbiosis in the gut, leading to disruption of the intestinal barrier and systemic inflammation. * The oral and gut microbiomes modulate metabolic balance via a complex cross-talking, involving the immune system, which regulates metabolic functions. * As Body Mass Index (BMI) increases, the diversity in bacterial species in saliva and the sublingual plaque decreases. Research suggests that therapeutic strategies to alter the gut microbiome can be used to improve and manage obesity, these include: -Dietary changes -Faecal microbiome transfer -Probiotics and prebiotics These strategies can restore balance to the gut microbiome and improve many functional aspects of obesity such as systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, and fat accumulation. Obesity is a major risk factor for many lifestyle diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Genetics and lifestyle are known contributors in the onset and progression of obesity, and now recent studies indicate the link between dysbiosis of the gut and/or oral microbiomes with obesity progression. The oral microbiome is a colony of microbes within the oral cavity and prevents the colonisation of the mouth, teeth and gums by pathogenic microbes. The research highlighted in the review also indicates the role of the oral microbiome in obesity due to its modulating effects on the gut microbiome. This research indicates the importance of establishing and maintaining gut and oral microbiome health in the prevention and treatment of obesity.

11.01.2022 Lutein and zeaxanthin: Eye and vision benefits By Gary Heiting, OD Good nutrition is important to keep your eyes healthy and functioning their best throughout your lifetime. Two very important eye nutrients that may reduce your risk for macular degeneration and cataracts have names you may not be familiar with: lutein (LOO-teen) and zeaxanthin (zee-ah-ZAN-thin).... Lutein and zeaxanthin are two types of carotenoids (kuh-RAH-teh-noids), which are yellow to red pigments found widely in vegetables and other plants. Though lutein is considered a yellow pigment, in high concentrations it appears orange-red. Cooked spinach is one of the best natural food sources of lutein and zeaxanthin. In nature, lutein and zeaxanthin appear to absorb excess light energy to prevent damage to plants from too much sunlight, especially from high-energy light rays called blue light. In addition to being found in many green leafy plants and colorful fruits and vegetables, lutein and zeaxanthin are found in high concentrations in the macula of the human eye, giving the macula its yellowish color. In fact, the macula also is called the "macula lutea" (from the Latin macula, meaning "spot," and lutea, meaning "yellow"). Recent research has discovered a third carotenoid in the macula. Called meso-zeaxanthin, this pigment is not found in food sources and appears to be created in the retina from ingested lutein. Lutein and zeaxanthin appear to have important antioxidant functions in the body. Along with other natural antioxidants, including vitamin C, beta-carotene and vitamin E, these important pigments guard the body from damaging effects of free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can destroy cells and play a role in many diseases. In addition to important eye and vision benefits, lutein may help protect against atherosclerosis (buildup of fatty deposits in arteries), the disease that leads to most heart attacks. Eye Benefits Of Lutein And Zeaxanthin It is believed that lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin in the macula block blue light from reaching the underlying structures in the retina, thereby reducing the risk of light-induced oxidative damage that could lead to macular degeneration (AMD). A number of studies have found that lutein and zeaxanthin either help prevent AMD or may slow progression of the disease.

11.01.2022 Did you know? The following are some self-care tips to improve mitochondrial function and energy. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)... Stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle. A sedentary lifestyle leads to reduced muscle aerobic capacity and mitochondrial apoptosis which leads to muscle atrophy. An active lifestyle can reverse this. Swim in the ocean Sea water stimulates mitochondrial function and biogenesis. Fun fact: mitochondria have bacterial origins and to this day maintain their own DNA. It is thought that the mitochondria came from the ocean. Yoga Intense muscle stretching and conditioning stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis. Turn off the climate control in your home and car Exposure to heat and cold is known as hormesis which also stimulates our mitochondria. Alternatively, try an infra-red sauna.

02.01.2022 Where Do You Store Stress in Your Body? My boss is a pain in the neck. My co-worker gives me a headache.... "My ex-boyfriend makes me sick to my stomach." Often we attempt to push unwanted feelingssuch as irritation, fear, sadnessout of our awareness. We associate such feelings with hopelessness or powerlessness. So, in an effort to blot them, we forcefully engage in denial or repression. We drive them out of our consciousness and deny our emotions. Instead of acknowledging, processing and releasing these unwanted feelings, we bottle them up. To read the full article click here: https://www.psychologytoday.com//where-do-you-store-stress

The federal government tells us that milk is a perfect food that Americans should lap up da...ily, three glasses to be exactin spite of a large (and growing) body of research showing its lack of benefits and awful side effects. I agree, it is nature’s perfect foodbut only if you are a calf! Humans are the only species that continues to drink milk after weaning.
