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

A national study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2010, zeroed in on the deterioration in children’s health over time. From 1988 to 2006, there was a doubling of the prevalence of four types of chronic conditions (obesity, asthma, behavior/learning problems and “other” physical conditions), which rose from 12.8% to 26.6% of American children and youth. Mounting evidence indicates environmental toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides as the principal culprits, while studies link vaccines and toxic vaccine ingredients to a wide range of adverse health outcomes, including seizures, neurodevelopmental disorders and infant death. As the medical, public health, and government circles remain silent on the social and economic fallout from these toxic exposures, American children have never been so sick. childrenshealthdefense.org

Diet Tip: Get a mantra. You’ve heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy? If you keep focusing on things you can’t do, like resisting junk food or getting out the door for a daily walk, chances are you won’t do them. Instead (whether you believe it or not) repeat positive thoughts to yourself. “I can lose weight.” “I will get out for my walk today.” “I know I can resist the pastry cart after dinner.” Repeat these phrases and before too long, they will become true for you. rd.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. Who do you know who could benefit from chiropractic care? medicalnewstoday.com

Dandelion is full of vitamins A, B, C, D, and also minerals like iron, potassium, and zinc. The roots of dandelions have been used to treat liver diseases, kidney problems, swelling, issues of the skin, diabetes, eye problems, heartburn, and upset stomachs. The leaves can act like diuretics and also help with digestion and appetite. Sprinkle the leaves on top of salads or sandwiches. You can also steep the leaves and make an herbal tea out of them to get the effects. The compounds in the plant are said to help with kidney function, which can also help filter out toxins in the body that get removed along with excess water. Just make sure to pick them where no weed killers are used! thelostherbs.com
