Everyone likes a good nap now and then, right? Whether you nod off during a boring movie, or rest your head on your desk at work for 20 minutes or so to fight the afternoon slump, naps can revitalize you in a major way. One study even showed they can boost performance and memory regulation better than caffeine. This all sounds great in theory, but many people — myself included — find naps do the opposite. I wake up from naps feeling like I’m in the throes of a New Year’s Day-strength hangover. It takes me at least 20 minutes

In a near-death situation, nearly every being would fight for their lives. This brown-and-white cow named Bonnie isn’t any different. At just 4-months-old, the brown-and-white cow fled her home in Holland, New York, which raises cattle for slaughter. She was likely scared by other cows’ bellowing as they were herded into a livestock trailer.

By Dr. Mercola Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) is a perennial herb related to the ever-popular oregano, mint and lavender, all members of the Lamianceae family.1 The plants are native to Malaysia and the Philippines.2 Since it doesn’t produce seeds, it’s grown by taking cuttings from another plant. The plant has a bushy growth and produces pale pink flowers. For centuries patchouli has been cultivated for the essential oil. Both the leaves and flowers are fragrant, but it’s the leaves that are harvested to produce the oil.3 The strongly scented oil is produced through steam distillation. It is one of the most

The weighted blankets are very popular recently, especially on social media as they offer a lot aside the needed comfort. They are called weighted as they weigh more than the standard blankets, in the range of 4 to 30 pounds. The reason for that is that they are filled with natural substances such ashemp, buckwheat, and hypo-allergenic fillers like glass beads. All these substances bring many benefits for the body, but the additional weight does something even more it offers a deep touch pressure therapy (DTP).

People enjoy the sound of the pouring rain, many find it romantic and soothing, and others find its smell pleasant for the nerves. Walking in the rain can be a healing experience, as it calms the mind, and releases the suppressed thoughts and emotions. The scent of the rain has a special name, Petrichor, so named by two Australian scientists in the 1960s. The fragrance is a combination of chemicals released by soil-dwelling bacteria, oils released from plants during dry spells, and ozone created when lightning occurs. The rainy days are ideal if you are a bit stressed, feel blue,

Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease traditionally have been considered a concern for older generations. But recent spikes in early onset of these conditions in Americans as young as 30 suggest a different story. Between 2013 and 2017, early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s diagnoses increased by 83% among commercially insured Americans aged 30 to 44, according to a report released by the health care insurer. That age group includes the oldest millennials. Overall, early-onset diagnoses increased by 200% among commercially insured Americans between ages 30 to 64. That included a 50% jump among those 45 to 54 and by 40% for those aged

If you’re a parent, the idea of adding the care and feeding of an animal to your responsibilities might feel like too much work. But having a dog, cat, bunny, hamster or other animal as a part of the family benefits kids in real ways. Studies have shown that kids who have pets do better — especially in the area of Emotional Intelligence (EQ), which has been linked to early academic success, even more so than the traditional measure of intelligence, IQ. Even better news is that unlike IQ, which is thought by most experts to be unchangeable (you can’t

The ‘gold standard’ in nutritional and medical studies is the random controlled trial (RTC) which relies on the fact that neither the experimenters nor the subjects are aware of which subjects are getting the actual intervention or are receiving a placebo (an inert preparation that is indistinguishable from the real substance being tested, be it a pill, an injection, etc.). The idea is that this will control for the bias of both the experimenters and the subjects so that their preconceived notions don’t affect the results of the trial. But a recent controversy has lead many to question the validity

By Sara Tipton It’s been close to 10 years since the devastating Fukushima Disaster where there was a meltdown of three reactor cores at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Plant. Over 1 million tons of radiation-laced water is stored in tanks so it won’t escape into the ocean or elsewhere. But now, government officials have seen fit to release that water slowly into the Pacific oceans with most (but not all) of the radioactive materials removed. The Japanese government has said that dumping the radioactive water into the ocean is “the only option.” On March 11, 2011, a terrible earthquake struck

By Dr. Mercola Sleep is a curious thing. For decades, many considered sleeping to be a poor use of their time. Yet, a growing body of evidence now points to the importance of sleep in relation to many facets of health and wellness. Sleep deprivation has been linked to heart disease,1 accidents2 and cognitive impairment.3 A lack of sleep increases your risk for Alzheimer’s disease4 as well as insulin resistance,5 which is the root cause of many chronic conditions. Sleep quality and quantity are important to your health, as demonstrated by one study that showed that interrupted sleep may …read

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Metabolic syndrome makes the “who’s who list” of bad health conditions, yet most people remain uneducated about its details. This “syndrome” significantly increases your risk of potentially serious chronic health problems like cardiovascular disease, including a heart attack or stroke. Fortunately, as is usually the case with good nutrition, it turns out that reducing the impact of metabolic syndrome is just one of the many benefits of eating the right amount of blueberries, on a regular basis. For example, a 2019 study from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition offers great incentive to eat

By AdminM by Dr. Robert J. Rowen In case you plan to rush out and get a flu vaccine, you might want to read this abstract, and also share with your pro vaccine friends. It appears that getting a flu vaccine will make you more prone to coronavirus infection. This is hot off the press. My interpretation of this is that when you receive (or your child) a vaccination, your immune system is artificially deranged by the vaccine so that it will not respond normally to secondary challenge. This is one of the missing elements in alleged …read more Source:
