 POLLEN IS NOT THE PROBLEM

Have you ever noticed that a lot of adults say that they developed seasonal allergies all of a sudden one year where they never had them before?

Well, the pollen hasn’t changed has it?  The excuse that “the pollen is really bad this year” is not the reason either.

Development of seasonal allergies all of a sudden or those that get worse each year is a sign that gut health is deteriorating with age and that steps should be taken with the diet to rectify the situation.

The good news is that even if you or your children have seasonal allergies now, you can deal with it effectively with a change in diet!

MINDFULNESS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TO BUSY TO MEDITATE

“……..researchers have found that mindfulness can reprogram the brain to be more rational and less emotional. When faced with a decision, meditators showed increased activity in the posterior insula of the brain, which has been linked to rational decision making. This allowed them to make decisions based more on fact than emotion. This is good news since other research has found that reasoning is actually suffused with emotion. Not only are the two inseparable, but our positive and negative feelings about people, things, and ideas arise much more rapidly than our conscious thoughts, in a matter of milliseconds. We push threatening information away and hold friendly information close. We apply fight-or-flight reflexes not only to predators but to data itself.“—-Maria Gonzales for The Harvard Business Review
