We must take care of our mental wellness

We live in a time where things can be uncertain and scary. Families face many stressors that can exacerbate or lead to mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. On average, a person will reach for their phone every 19 seconds if they are not engaged in an activity. There are things we can do to build resiliency within ourselves and the family. It can feel good to disconnect from distractions such as the phone and social media to connect with family and friends.

Online wellness claims are often utter bunk. Here’s how to spot a fake

Much of the information about wellness on social media is utter bunk. If you believe the TikToks, all we need to do is buy a $14,900 bio charger or the odd vaginal egg, breathe a certain way or follow a certain diet. Probably one that’s gluten and sugar-free because they are the devils in sweet delicious disguise. “False health information spreads far faster than accurate, balanced scientific information because false information often comes across as novel or groundbreaking or revolutionary. It’s something new, right?” says British doctor Idrees Mughal, who has a master’s degree in nutritional research and is board-certified in Lifestyle Medicine. Read more at Sydney Morning Herald

11 Simple Ways to Focus on Whole Foods Instead of Clean Eating

Though the concept of clean eating has recently gained traction, it’s also associated with negative connotations.

To keep things simple, focus less on using trending terms and more on making small changes like eating minimally processed foods. Doing so does not have to include emptying your kitchen cabinets and starting from scratch but rather adding more fruits, vegetables, and nutrient-dense foods to your plate. Read more at Healthline

Can Wellness Shots Boost Immunity, or Are They Just Juice?

Since practically forever, people have been searching for ways to boost their immune systems, whether through supplements or their diet. While researchers continue to investigate just how possible that really is, the lack of scientific evidence hasn’t stopped new products from emerging, often with creative delivery systems. A recent one is wellness shots, or immunity shots, which claim to deliver immune-boosting nutrients via a gulp or two of liquid. To clear up any confusion, the name refers to a nonalcoholic version of the kind of shot you’d order at a bar, and not the kind of shot delivered via a needle. You can find immunity and wellness shots at juice bars and in grocery stores. Drinking a round in the name of escaping cold and flu season unscathed sounds like it could be fun, b...
