Eating healthy fats is essential for overall well-being. Healthy fats provide a range of benefits for the body, including supporting brain function, promoting heart health, and aiding nutrient absorption. They are a rich source of energy, help maintain healthy skin and hair, and assist in hormone production. Incorporating foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish into your diet can increase your intake of these beneficial fats. However, it’s important to consume them in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Remember, not all fats are created equal, and opting for healthy fats can contribute to a healthier, more nourished body.

Allergy Season Is Back
Many people suffering from seasonal hypersensitivities, such as head pressure, itchy eyes, and a runny or stuffy nose this allergy season will find only temporary relief, or no relief at all, from over-the-counter remedies. Alternative approaches, such as nutritional supplementation and Biofeedback focus on more than just symptomatic relief. They enable the body’s ability to remove existing allergens embedded in the sinus tissues, thereby minimizing the histamine and inflammatory reactions. This stops the over-production of mucus that the body makes to try and push the allergens out. Take a different approach this allergy season – treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
Resilience Is Critical For A Happy Life
Charles Darwin once said: “It’s not the strongest or the most intelligent that survive, but those who are most adaptable to change”. Control is an illusion that we all wrestle with in our own way. The “good” and the “not so good” comes and goes in everyone’s life, with the only real constant being change. One of the biggest source of unhappiness lies in not being able to adapt to the change that comes into our lives. When we dwell and cling to the dissappointment of unmet expectations of what was supposed to happen but didn’t see coming, it makes it more difficult to adapt, shift and change course. Being able to shift gears, grieve and welcome new direction and possibility opens flow. What we choose to focus on affects our happiness and how empowered we feel in the world.
