Did you know that strong social connections are the ONE common denominator among those who live the longest? It’s not their healthy diet, not their exercise routine (although there is evidence that can help), but simply it’s their social connections.

Social connectedness is essential for humans well-being. We are social creatures.

Interesting that “social distance” has been the theme of the past year, isn’t it? Almost as if it goes against the very fabric of our well-being as humans. Kind of feels like a crime against humanity, doesn’t it? Chew on that for a minute.

An analysis of dozens of longitudinal studies bolsters the belief that strong social relationships contribute to longevity.

It’s flu season.... so what’s the true about fever management and how should we address it?

Take a look at the evidence-based research vs current practice of fever management :

Dear FDA,

“Thank you for telling us the risk of coconut oil and recommending GMO canola oil. Wow. Synthetic oils over natural God given coconut oil. Whew! Almost ate something natural, there! 😰

Thank you for recommending Frosted Flakes over fruit! Of course, dead food in a box coated in sugar would be healthier than enzyme, fiber rich, nutrient dense delicious fruit. What was I thinking?😱

Thank you for the blessing of artificial sweeteners! We now know of their toxic effects on the brain and ability to cause cancer. Man, if we would have simply stuck to natural God given sweeteners the pharmaceutical companies would have gone out of business. 🤥

Thank you for processed dairy loaded with hormones and antibiotics! It does a body good...even the 7 year olds with breast buds and behavioral issues..... thank you! 👍🏻

Thank you for Red Dye #40 and Yellow #5 linked to cancer and proven to cause hyperactivity in kids...we mom's especially thank you. Big hugs on that one 🤗

Thank you for all the synthetic preservatives, additives, BHT, palm oil, high fructose corn syrup and so many others...so our food can last on the shelf for up to 20 years.
Friggin awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It feels so good to have a government agency NOT influenced by money that simply looks out for the greater good of America and the health of the people. 🦄🦄

Eat up America!! Chemical crap storm for everyone!!”

Love this!

Our brain is not designed to create happiness, as much as we wish it were so. Our brain evolved to promote survival. You can end up with a lot of unhappy chemicals in your quest to stimulate the happy ones, especially near the end of a stressful workday.

I love this, and know it to be true 💖

Gratitude is a funny thing. In some parts of the world, somebody who gets a clean drink of water, some food, or a worn out pair of shoes can be extremely grateful. Meanwhile, somebody else who has all the necessities they need to live can be found complaining about something. What we have today is [...

Unbelievable!

Ensure is a brand by Abbott that makes medical “nutritional shakes and drinks.” It makes big claims to customers such as “ #1 Doctor Recommended” and “Worldwide Leader in Nutritional Science” but in reality their products are as far away from a healthy meal as you can get.

While it may seem obvious that a good hike through a forest or up a mountain can cleanse your mind, body, and soul, science is now discovering that hiking can actually change your brain… for the better! Hiking in Nature Can Stop Negative, Obsessive Thoughts Aside from the almost instant feeling of...
