Tidbit #1

If you don’t remind yourself often about what you need to focus on and why you are doing it, then it’s easy to let hours and days slip away or to spend too much time on less important things. So create a simple reminder on a piece of paper. Example: write down… Your top 3 priorities in life right now; Your most important goal or new habit for the next 30 days; A motto or quote you want to stay focused on and live by at this time in your life. positivityblog.com

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) played a direct role in policing permissible speech on social media throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Confidential emails obtained show that Facebook moderators were in constant contact with the CDC, and routinely asked government health officials to vet claims relating to the virus, mitigation efforts such as masks, and vaccines. After Elon Musk took control of Twitter, he permitted several independent journalists to peruse the company's previous communications with the FBI, the CDC, the White House, and government officials elsewhere. These disclosures, which have become known as the Twitter Files, reveal that government bureaucrats put substantial pressure on Twitter to restrict alleged misinformation relating to elections, Hunter Biden, and COVID-19. When we, the people lose the right to hear and read both sides of a story, we no longer have freedom of speech! reason.com

Diet Tip: Be aware of physical hunger. Pause between each bite of food to ask yourself, “Am I really satisfied? Can I stop here?” We often eat a whole plate of food before even taking a pause or a breath. Decipher between being hungry and satisfied to guide your decisions. health.clevelandclinic.org

In a study published in Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, researchers looked to see if a single chiropractic adjustment (which affects the Central Nervous System) could have a positive effect on the immune system. And they found that it did! Your immune system is responsible for killing the virus that causes the common cold and supporting it is the only way to speed the healing process and stay healthy. Good hygiene, proper diet and nutrition, and getting enough sleep, all play an essential role in supporting your immune system. If the master control system of the human body (the Central Nervous System) is being stressed, then those systems intimately involved with it (the immune system) will also be affected. If we support the nervous system through proper spinal function and alignment, then we will ultimately support and strengthen the immune system.
