Try these natural remedies if you need to recover from jet lag

After three years of uncertainty and restrictions, 2022 is the year of travel. Whether it’s a city break to Paris, a beach holiday in Europe or an overseas luxury stay in the Maldives, Brits are holidaying more than ever this year, with long-haul trips proving especially popular. And who can blame us? After three years trapped on this island, it’s no surprise people are looking to go as far away from the UK as possible. But there is one problem with long-haul flights: jet lag. Jet lag, which leaves us feeling lethargic and unable to regulate our sleep cycle, is what happens when we fly across different time zones. It’s a temporary sleep disorder caused by our circadian rhythms being interrupted, among other factors. Despite being short-lived, jet lag can be a nuisance, especially whe...

Buy Kratom Online: The 5 Best Products

If you’re looking for a product that may be able to ease anxiety, help you sleep better, and relieve pain, you might want to try kratom. We believe this healing supplement is a more natural way to deal with mental health issues and pain management than seeking out a prescription (though it’s not meant to replace any prescriptions you already take, and it’s always a good idea to ask your doctor about potential interactions with medications). Even better: You can easily buy quality kratom online and get it delivered to your doorstep for the ultimate in convenience. The only problem is that it can be overwhelming to pick the best kratom vendors for you, since a quick search will reveal hundreds of results. While you can buy kratom powder and kratom capsules from a variety of brands, some are...

Women and wellness

March and May are two months of the year when women, especially mothers, are honored and celebrated. We cornered a group of strong J&J Philippines executives and asked for their insights on women and wellness. “Women are natural caregivers and decision-makers, and I take it to heart that I am responsible for ensuring that my family’s health and well-being are always at its best,” said J&J Philippines head of technology Therence “Tet” Lim. “It’s important to expand this further to our communities to ensure that they can act as a strong support system, so that women can feel more assured that their families are healthy in all aspects. Empowering women to get involved in the health and wellbeing of families is crucial to the success of elevating the health and well-being of all famil...

Coriander, parsley: the best cold-loving herbs to grow this winter

Basil called it quits in my garden early this year, courtesy of too much rain and not enough sunshine. But there are plenty of other herbs that will carry on through winter, flavouring whatever is going on in the kitchen. Hardiest of all is rosemary. All of the various cultivars are edible, whether tall and upright or low and spreading; or whether they flower white or pink instead of blue. But some are tastier than others. The cultivars each produce a unique oil. The varieties with oils higher in camphor have a fragrance similar to pine and a bitter flavour. These tend to be the prostrate varieties. The upright varieties tend to be sweeter, and more “rosemary-scented”, such as the popular “Tuscan Blue”. The two renowned for especially fragrant oils are “Herb Cottage” and “Gorizia”. The la...

What people consider ‘wellness’ is changing, MindBody CEO explains

The fitness industry is recovering from the shock of COVID-19, and gyms are finding that some pandemic-era trends are subsiding while others are sticking around. "It starts with how the consumers think about wellness," Mindbody and ClassPass CEO Josh McCarter said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). "And we say that COVID really created this global wellness imperative where people think about wellness differently." According to Mindbody's 2022 Wellness Index Survey of 16,000 individuals, 78% of respondents said that wellness was more important than ever and nearly half of those surveyed cited mental well-being as a top reason to exercise. These findings suggest that the definition of wellness has broadened: It's now more about "integrative wellness," McCarter said, which encompasses ot...
