TIDBIT #1

One way to find happiness... Stop comparing yourself to others: Comparing yourself with others won't do you any good. You will either feel proud when you are above, or feel jealous and frustrated when you are below. None of them brings true happiness. So stop comparing yourself with others and simply be your best. lifeoptimizer.org

A new, large-scale Spanish study demonstrates not just a correlation but a causal relationship between high-dose Vitamin D treatment of hospitalized Covid patients and significantly improved outcomes for their health. The pre-print paper in the Lancet shows there was an 80% reduction in admission to intensive care units among hospitalized patients who were treated with large doses of Vitamin D, and a 64% reduction in death. The possibility of these being chance findings are infinitesimally small, note the researchers. And to boot, the study found no side-effects even when mega-doses were given short term to the hospitalized patients. Most developed countries, even those with lots of sunshine, have large sections of their population that are Vitamin D deficient, especially among the elderly and housebound (the very groups most affected by Covid). The role of Vitamin D (produced in the skin by sunlight) should have been at the forefront of medical research for Covid anyway, given that the prevalence of the disease, as with other respiratory infections, appears to slump through the sunny, summer months, and spikes in the winter. counterpunch.org

TIDBIT #4

Recording artist and World Wrestling ringmaster Lilian Garcia's pollen, dust, and food allergies were getting her down. Her allergies were even affecting her job as her voice wasn't achieving optimal performance. But while she was cutting a record with singer-songwriter Jon Secada, he suggested chiropractic care. Garcia was desperate for a solution so she set up an appointment. The test of efficacy came soon after she started regular chiropractic care, during a moment of weakness in the mall. "I saw an ice cream cone and I went for it," Garcia remembers. "I ate two and I had zero complications. It was my first ice cream cone in 12 years." The connection between her allergies and chiropractic care seemed natural. "Something's flowing better." Many factors affect the body's ability to maintain optimal balance. Nutrition, posture, exercise, stress, and fatigue are important, but so is the health of your spine. Who do you know that could benefit from chiropractic care? psychologytoday.com

Artichokes are packed with vitamins A, C, K, along with potassium, magnesium, folate, zinc, calcium, and iron. They're also a stellar source of fiber (a type of carb that fills you up), promotes normal bowel movements, and lowers your risk for diseases such as diabetes. More specifically, one medium artichoke has nearly 7 grams of this key nutrient, which provides about one-third of your daily fiber needs. shape.com
