Aging brings challenges. My least favorite one, so far, has been the attack of persistent UTIs. Menopause seemed to have opened that door. Anyone who has experienced a urinary tract infection will know immediately if she gets another one. How can we avoid UTIs without using antibiotics?
Are you wellness-wise? Healthy living encompasses making wise choices that promote our overall wellness, including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Sadly, many individuals disregard their overall health by indulging in unhealthy food, living a sedentary life, neglecting their mental well-being, and giving little importance to soul care. We desire complete wellness while neglecting the disciplines to achieve it.
We’re neurodivergent, not broken. Perhaps we’re superhumans who don’t need gimmicks to achieve productivity because we achieve it in a way most people don’t understand. Neurodivergents think, react, and plan differently. Remember, these “expert” recommendations are often based on an ideal rather than reality.
As we embark on our journey toward a healthier and more spiritual life, it is vital that we make informed choices about the food we bring into our homes and how it aligns with our values of wellness. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) annually releases two crucial lists for health-conscious shoppers like us—the “Dirty Dozen” and the “Clean Fifteen.” These lists, updated every year, help us discern the fruits and vegetables that are most and least contaminated with pesticide residues, guiding us in making choices that honor our bodies.
Did you know that a family history of conditions such as cancer or dementia doesn’t automatically dictate your health future? The concept that our genes determine our health is outdated, thanks to advancements in the field of epigenetics. This promising area of study demonstrates how our behaviors and environment can profoundly impact gene activity.
