How to Stop Taking Things Personally: After someone offends you, here are a few techniques you might use so you don’t go home feeling upset. 1) Give people the benefit of the doubt because it's possible that you misunderstood what they were saying. 2) Ask the person to clarify what they've said. 3) Stop worrying about what others think about you. Of course, if you're experiencing verbal abuse or notice that someone is actually trying to hurt your feelings, it's time to re-evaluate your relationship with that person. verywellmind.com

Lab-grown (cultured) meat is being promoted as the wave of the future, the “green, sustainable” way to eat. No animal suffering, no greenhouse gas emissions, just meat-like protein that will taste like the burgers and steaks you’re used to. BUT, it’s all a lie. Beneath the greenwashed façade, lab-grown meats are not about your health or the environment’s. They’re a tool to phase out farmers and ranchers and replace them with an ultra-processed product controlled by patents. Cultured meats are ultra-processed products and likely to cause health problems such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, Type-2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, cancer, mental health problems, and increased all-cause mortality. These fake meats are more harmful for the environment than conventional ranching. Since synthetic biology relies on genetically engineered (GE) monoculture, it creates the very things they claim to counteract, namely environmental degradation that promotes climate change. organicconsumers.org

Doing 10 push-ups every morning (or jumping-jacks, or crunches, etc.) is a small enough number to commit to each day but a regular enough activity to make a difference. Over time, you can add five more, ten more, and so on. onegreenplanet.org

A study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research (JVSR), showed that chiropractic care can reduce oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress is the damage that occurs when free radicals outnumber the body’s antioxidants. 76 individuals participated in the study including a group that received short-term chiropractic care, a second group that received long-term chiropractic care, and a group that received no chiropractic care. Individuals were qualified for age, sex, and nutritional supplements. Results showed that individuals that received chiropractic care for two or more years had higher serum thiol levels than those without. In fact, some of the patients receiving chiropractic adjustments had serum thiol levels much higher than what is understood as normal. Thiols are sulfur-containing compounds in the body that act as antioxidants. They react with free radicals to neutralize them. Who do you know that could benefit from chiropractic care? thetruthaboutcancer.com

Watermelon is not only great on a hot summer day, this delectable thirst quencher may also help reduce the inflammation that contributes to conditions like asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer, and arthritis. Watermelon is an excellent source of vitamin C and a very good source of vitamin A, notably through its concentration of beta-carotene. healthline.com
