Consistent practice of gratitude can help you in times of adversity and challenges. It helps elevate your emotional and energetic vibrations, which are essential for attracting and manifesting what you want and it can free us from the ‘victimhood’ identity. Realize that everything happens for us, not to us. The Mindfulness Awareness Research Center of UCLA stated that gratitude can change the neural structures in the brain, thus enabling us to literally rewire our minds and change the body’s old response patterns to more productive ones. herewithdia.com

A study of 117,000 Welsh citizens shows that masking not only didn’t work during the campaign but that deaths and health care usage were higher among those who masked than those who didn’t. COVID infection rates were also slightly higher among those who wore face shields, leading researchers to question masking policies. They concluded that a "lack of clear impact on infection rates raises questions about the success of shielding and indicates that further research is required to fully evaluate this national policy intervention.” bbc.com

Just 15 minutes of exercise per day could actually increase your lifespan. Scientists from the European Society of Cardiology evaluated study participants over a 12-year period and found that those who exercised at a low level (or the equivalent of a 15-minute brisk walk) were 22% less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t exercise at all. And participants who exercised at medium and high levels (for just 15 minutes) reduced their risk of death by 28% and 35%, respectively. womenshealthmag.com

“Research is revealing that structural shifts in spinal alignment and the nerve obstruction they cause may be a factor in a number of disorders and can result in a host of health problems such as vertigo and hearing loss because the body’s homeostatic mechanism is thrown off” stated Dr. Matthew McCoy a chiropractor, public health researcher and editor of the journal that published the study. Other chiropractic researchers have reported on similar results regarding vertigo, Meniere’s, and chiropractic. He said, “If you damage, compress, or interfere with the neurological structures in the spine this can have far-reaching implications on the functioning of the body. Through research reports like this, we are finding that correcting (subluxations) reduces the nerve obstructions and people experience improvement.” The nervous system controls and coordinates all functions of the body. Misalignments in the spine can occur that obstruct the nerves and interfere with their function. By removing the structural shifts (subluxations), chiropractic improves nerve supply and function. chiropractic.prosepoint.net
