Health benefits of eating all-natural, organic foods

Though some prefer non-organic products as these are cheaper, switching to all-natural and organic foods may prove to be more cost efficient in the long run given their health benefits. Antibiotic resistance The use of antibiotics is banned in organic agriculture but is still common in conventional animal rearing. Using antibiotics in agricultural settings can add to the development of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria that can be passed on to humans.

Organic foods boost the immune system as you get the full value of vitamins and minerals minus the foreign chem...

Health and wellness: Are flip flops aggravating your plantar fasciitis?

Now that summer is here - it’s flip flop and sandal season for many. Unfortunately, this also typically results in a rise in foot pain and plantar fasciitis cases. One of my readers recently wrote to me and asked about this. Here’s what Jennifer wanted to know: “Now that I’m wearing flip flops again, I noticed that my plantar fasciitis is acting up. Is there anything I can do? Do I need to stop wearing flip flops?” This is a great question Jennifer. In order to answer your question, let’s look at a few reasons why plantar fasciitis occurs in the first place. Ideally, if you can stay on top of your plantar fasciitis and/or prevent it all together, flip flops won’t even be an issue. Read the full story at seacoastonline.com

How to Get Rid of Ants from Your Home Using Natural Remedies

Ants are generally harmless, but that doesn’t mean you want these tiny insects crawling all over your kitchen. Here are some natural ways to get rid of ants in your house. According to National Geographic, there are more than 10,000 known species of ants in the world. Often confused with termites, most ants are harmless. But carpenter ants can damage wood, and ant varieties like fire ants, harvester ants, field ants, and crazy ants can bite or sting people and pets. Ants are also a common household pest that are drawn to food. While each is typically half the size of a paper clip, a large infestation of ants, called an army or colony, can be an unsightly nuisance. Worse, a study showed that Monomorium ants can carry pathogenic bacteria harmful to people, and another study indicat...

Oregon County Considers Banning Legalized Psilocybin Therapy

Linn County, a mostly rural area of Oregon, is considering banning psilocybin services. In November 2020, Oregon voters approved legalizing psilocybin therapy through Measure 109. Currently in its implementation phase, itauthorizes psilocybin “service centers,” where trained and licensed “facilitators” will administer psilocybin to patients, who will need no specific medial diagnosis. But under the law, individual counties have the right to vote to opt out. On June 21, the three-member Linn County Commission unanimously decided to put the issue on the general election ballot this November, giving voters the option to ban psilocybin services. The county is less favorable to psilocybin than the state as a whole: Roughly 55 percent of county voters said no to Measure 109 in 2020; statewide, ...

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...

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...
