What could cold feet mean?

👣 Poor circulation: Blood vessels narrowed by stress, low blood pressure, or atherosclerosis – blood doesn’t reach the feet.

👣 Iron or vitamin B12 deficiency: Anemia hinders oxygen transport, so your feet stay cold even in warm 🧦 socks.

👣 A “sleepy” thyroid: Hypothyroidism slows metabolism – the whole body, including the feet, remains constantly cold 🥶.

👣 Lack of B vitamins and minerals: Low levels of iron, iodine, or a low-energy diet weaken thermoregulation.

Reflexology helps warm the feet and stimulate circulation.

The thymus symbolizes vital and emotional strength. Its "tonization" through smiling, positive thoughts, or tapping the sternum strengthens muscles and mental resilience.

A weakened thymus correlates with chronic stress, anxiety, or low energy; activation restores vitality and energetic harmony.

Simple advice:
Place the tip of your tongue steadily at the centering reflex point on the palate (just behind the upper teeth) – it tonizes meridians, strengthens muscles, and boosts life energy.

Sharing a meal at one table, without the TV and phones, is not just a tradition but an investment in health and relationships.
Studies show that regular family dinners are linked in children with better well‑being, a lower risk of overweight, depression and eating problems, and better performance at school.
In the spirit of the Danish hygge philosophy, it is all about truly being together: talking, looking each other in the eyes, savouring the food and creating a warm, safe atmosphere at the table.
By eating more slowly and mindfully, we give the body time – only after about 20 minutes from the start of a meal does the brain begin to receive strong signals of satiety, which makes it easier to avoid overeating.

“The family table is the place where everyday life turns into closeness.”

Slow down, switch off the screen, light some candles, sit with your loved ones and let an ordinary meal become a daily ritual of peace and tenderness.

BOOST YOUR B VITAMINS

B vitamins are particularly important for maintaining a balanced mood and therefore for feeling positive. Among their many functions, B vitamins are involved in the body's contral of tryptophan, a building block for serotonin. Vitamin B6 is essential in the production of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which helps boost mood in a similar way to serotonin. A lack of these neurotransmitters can lead to low mood, which in turn can lead to serious psychological problems such as depression. The main vitamins to pay attention to are B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9 and B12, all of which can be found in a balanced diet. If you eat a lot of processed foods, or are a vegan, you may be lacking in certain B vitamins, in which case adding a B-vitamin supplement to your diet can have an excellent effect on your overall health and mood.

Proteins are made up of amino acids: the essential building blocks from which our body produces almost everything, In particular, the amino acids tryptophan and phenylalanine are great for the mood, as they are used in the production of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine and adrenaline. These three hormones help you to feel happier and more motivated naturalls therefore giving your positivity a boost.

What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a form of gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body. The lymphatic system is a critical part of the immune system, helping to remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up. Lymphatic drainage massage can benefit people with lymphedema, fibromyalgia, and other conditions.

🌿Reduces Swelling:
It helps reduce swelling by increasing the rate at which lymph fluid is filtered out of the tissue and back into the lymphatic system.

🌿Detoxification:
By promoting the flow of lymph through the body, it aids in the removal of waste products and toxins from the bodily tissues, which can improve overall health.

🌿Boosts Immune System: Improving the flow and drainage of lymph can also boost immune function, potentially helping the body to fight off infections more effectively.

🌿Relaxation:
Although it is primarily used for health benefits, it can also be relaxing due to its gentle nature.
