TIDBIT #1

Accept and let go: If something negative from the past is still on your mind, then accept it and let that feeling/thought in instead of trying to push it away. When you accept that, that's when it starts to lose power. And while the facts may still be there in your head, the negative feelings become a lot less powerful. At this point, let that thing go like you are throwing out a bag of old clothes and direct your focus to the present moment and something better instead. positivityblog.com

Dogs are better than tests at detecting COVID-19 in humans. In a recent French study, the canines detected 97% of 109 people whose PCR test subsequently proved positive, and 91% of those whose PCR test was negative. In comparison, laboratory tests can identify 72% of symptomatic people with the virus and 58% who don't have symptoms. Although the dogs will not replace PCR testing, researchers said dogs could be trained and used for mass virus screening in crowded places such as airports, train stations and concerts. Australia, Germany and Britain have experimented with dogs to detect COVID-19, while Finland and the United Arab Emirates have tried sniffer dogs at Helsinki and Dubai international airports. theguardian.com

There is a growing body of evidence that wellness care provided by doctors of chiropractic may reduce health care costs, improve health behaviors, and enhance patient perceived quality of life. Until recently, however, little was known about how chiropractic adjustments affected the chemistry of biological processes on a cellular level. In a landmark study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research (JVSR), chiropractors collaborating with researchers at the Univ. of Lund, Sweden, found that chiropractic care could influence basic physiological processes affecting oxidative stress and DNA repair. These findings offer a scientific explanation for the positive health benefits reported by patients receiving chiropractic care.

Tomatoes are loaded with the antioxidant lycopene (especially when cooked), which has been linked to reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. They are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and vitamin K. Tomatoes also contain beta carotene which is converted into vitamin A in your body; Naringenin- found in tomato skin has been shown to decrease inflammation and protect against various diseases in mice. Chlorogenic acid, a powerful antioxidant compound in tomatoes, lowers blood pressure in people with elevated levels. healthline.com
