Here are 5 tips for doing just that

The people over at the online publication, Greatist, offer a lot of clever ways to deal with the little things in life. Earlier this year, writer Susie Moore wrote a little piece about how to stop overthinking everything and find more joy in life. Here are her 5 top tips to doing just that.

First tip: Imagine 2019 is your last year to live. What are three things you’d make non-negotiable: spending time with your parents? Writing that book? Visiting the Grand Canyon? Sitting down to have an intimate talk that you’ve been putting off? Make them real!

Second tip: Risk more in your routine. Can you test a new recipe you’ve always wanted to try and not be married to the outcome? Just give it a whirl with an open, curious mind? If it’s good, great! If not, how bad can it be? What’s the worst that can happen? The point is, don’t be afraid to change up your routine—you might be pleasantly surprised.

Third tip: Sign up for something new. Can you show up for a new workout without being embarrassed? Every expert was once a beginner, and even the triathlon pros had to learn to ride a bike and swim. People aren’t watching, don’t worry (they’re too focused on themselves). Most classes have beginner options too—including barre, Zumba, SLT!

Fourth tip: Make something you’ve always wanted to do a priority instead of leaving it on the back burner. It can be anything. Can you ditch the reason that’s stopping you, and just book that trip to India? Try cryotherapy? Go trapezing? What are you waiting for, exactly?

Fifth tip: cleanse yourself of perfectionist tendencies. Expect nothing. Or expect awful. Anything above awful can be a bonus. When you take yourself a little less seriously, ideas and creativity will flow a whole lot better. READ MORE

12 tips for a stronger immune system

Posted on

How to boost your immune system naturally, according to an immunologist

Your immune system is much like the muscles in your body: you have to train it to do its job correctly. With that said, here are 12 key things immunologist Heater Monday says you should do to strengthen your immune system.

  1. Take a probiotic that has a broad array of species. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are two of the most important families of bacteria that populate our gut from birth, and they have been shown to positively affect our immune health. Remember, probiotics are full of live organisms, so it pays to spend a little more on a good-quality brand.
  2. Avoid drugs and over-the-counter medications. Get this: it takes three to six months for our microbiome to recover from one week of antibiotic treatment, so best to avoid it.
  3. To fend off sickness, take the following three vitamins and minerals each day: zinc (15-30mg), vitamin D (2,000 IU), and vitamin C powder (1,500mg).
  4. Try colostrum—the “first milk” from nursing mammals, which is rich in protective antibodies.
  5. Incorporate bone broth into your diet. The natural gelatin, collagen, and amino acids in them tend to the gut, improve wound healing, and help support the health of individual immune cells such as lymphocytes.
  6. Make fungi a part of your diet. Reishi, Shiitake, and Maitake have all been found to boost the immune system.
  7. Harness the power of the sun. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased frequency of infection, so get some natural vitamin D from the sun.
  8. Sweat it out in a sauna. A regular visit to the sauna not only improves the health of our protective white blood cells but also makes it harder for bacteria and viruses to survive through the increase of body temperature.
  9. Use natural antimicrobials to ward off infection. By eating superfoods like raw garlic and Manuka honey, you strengthen your immunity.
  10. Exercise!. With regular exercise, you improve your antibody response to infections.
  11. Take to your bed. Chronic sleep deprivation and disruption of the sleep-wake cycle cause an activation of the inflammatory immune response. Get your rest and avoid this.
  12. Manage your stress: Chronic stress suppresses our immune response which is why it’s vital to find ways to de-stress is vital. Meditation is a good place to start with this. READ MORE

Avoid the Waste

These 5 tips will give you a new approach to cutting down on food waste

Cutting down on food waste helps the environment in a number of key ways. Most obviously, it saves the resources and energy that go into producing unneeded food at every step of the supply chain, from farming to packaging to shipping. Plus, food that winds up rotting in landfills produces methane, one of the most potent greenhouses gasses.

Need some tips on how to cut food waste in your kitchen? Here are 5 clever ones.

First tip: Buy only what you need. Think critically about what you buy, avoid buying on impulse, and don’t buy too much fresh food that will go bad before you have time to eat it. If you need to buy in bulk, go for frozen or canned produce, which can be stored much longer and is often just as nutritious as fresh fruits and veggies.

Second tip: Get your pantry and refrigerator organized. Put the more perishable foods up front, so that you’re reminded of what needs to be eaten first. And don’t forget to store perishable items in a place where they won’t spoil quickly.

Third tip: Learn what labels really mean. A study published earlier this year found that the majority of Americans sometimes toss packaged food when it gets close to its “sell by” and “use by” date, even though these labels are not federally regulated. A better strategy, the USDA says, is to look for changes in color, flavor, texture or smell, which may indicate that a food has gone bad.

Fourth tip: Consider a meal kit, which comes with pre-portioned ingredients needed to make home-cooked dishes. Although extra packaging is involved with this, it will make sure you don’t waste food.

Fifth tip: Keep portions moderate. Overeating is also a “form of food waste”- with excess body weight corresponding to 140 billion pounds of food waste globally. READ MORE

Do It Yourself

Study finds self-administered acupressure can help ease your back pain

You’d be surprised how much relief you can bring to your aching back without having to seek professional help. In a new study from the University of Michigan, researchers found out that self-administered acupressure can alleviate chronic pain in the back. Acupressure is similar to acupuncture, but instead of using needles, “pressure is applied with a finger, thumb, or device to specific points on the body.”

Acupressure works in two ways. The first is that it massages and stretches out the muscles, increasing blood flow and healing oxygen to the problem area. Secondly, it helps improve the flow between the different energy channels, also known as meridians, to help relax the nervous system.

If you’re suffering from back pain and don’t feel particularly crazy about someone sticking multiple needles into your body, as is common in acupuncture, perhaps it’s time you try some self-administered acupressure. READ MORE
