Want Less Stress? - Write it all down. Use your mind for better things than remembering what to do. The mind is often like a leaky bucket. So write down all your great ideas, insights, and thoughts before they go missing somewhere. Then, add what you need to do to a to-do list. positivityblog.com

TIDBIT #2

In a recent study, published in July 2021, researchers enrolled 191 COVID patients and 203 healthy individuals and found that 84.4% of the patients were deficient in vitamin D as well as albumin. Albumin is a protein produced in the liver that helps carry vitamins through the blood. Another study posted in July 2021 showed that active forms of vitamin D3 can inhibit replication and expansion of SARS-CoV-2. And a third study, published in August 2021, showed that vitamin D levels strongly correlate with the severity and survivability of COVID-19. In that study, researchers looked at several comorbidities besides vitamin D status and found that "among all variables, age, diabetes, hypertension and clinical severity were associated with the worst outcome." The outcomes were so compelling that the study's authors called them "statistically significant," adding, "Vitamin D status appears to be strongly associated with COVID-19 clinical severity. After COVID-19 confirmation, Vitamin D level should be measured in all patients and curative plus preventive therapy should be initiated." journals.physiology.org

TIDBIT #4

This is a case study of a 29-year-old female who decided to seek chiropractic care for the primary complaint of cold, stiff hands with discoloration for the past 10 years (Raynaud's Syndrome). She was also experiencing occasional stiffness in the upper and lower back and seeking care for these conditions as well. There was no family history of Raynaud's beforehand. She proceeded to get her spinal misalignments (vertebral subluxations) corrected by a chiropractor for 11 weeks (for this study). Thermography assessments (heat patterns in the body) were performed at each of the 15 chiropractic visits. X-ray studies were utilized to show the correction of abnormal curvature of the neck and abnormal positioning of the pelvis. The results of the thermography scans at the 15th chiropractic office visit showed significant thermal response resulting in improved neurological function and reduced symptoms due to Raynaud's Phenomenon. Chiropractic helps improve function in the body. Who do you know who could benefit from Chiropractic care? vertebralsubluxationresearch.com

Pumpkins are very high in beta-carotene (a carotenoid that your body turns into vitamin A). They contain antioxidants that can neutralize free radicals, stopping them from damaging your cells. Studies have shown that these antioxidants protect skin against sun damage and lower the risk of cancer, eye diseases and other conditions. Pumpkin is also high in vitamin C, which has been shown to help immune cells work more effectively and make wounds heal faster. It's also a good source of vitamin E, iron and folate, all of which have been shown to aid the immune system as well. healthline.com
