Could herbs help you get a good night’s sleep?

Sleep is a bodily function which is vital to our health and wellbeing. We are awake and busy for two thirds of our life. And we need the other third to restore: to help the brain and immune system to function and to maintain the microbiome in the gut. But during the pandemic, many of us have found it harder than usual to get a good night's sleep - perhaps because of the extra stress of worrying about infection, missing loved ones or loss of income. If you read a magazine article or an internet feature on sleep, it may talk about good 'sleep hygiene', such as not using screens in the hour before sleep and the importance of having a dark and quiet bedroom. It might also suggest using sedative herbs such as valerian or chamomile to promote a restful state. Read the full article at edp24....

Apparently, there’s a ‘vibe shift’ coming, but what will it mean for wellness?

Have you heard the news? According to a now-viral article published by The Cut, there is a ‘vibe shift’ coming – and it’s set to shake-up life as we know it. This isn’t the first ‘vibe shift’, the article says, but rather, just the latest in a series of ‘vibes’ that describe the dominant social wavelength of the day. Struggling to compute a) what the hell is going on, b) whether your early morning yoga and oat milk latte ritual is still a ‘vibe’ and c) if you even care? Let’s break it down… What is a ‘vibe shift’? Remember ‘normcore’, when everyone wore dad jeans and sneakers without a hint of irony? Well, that was a certified ‘vibe’ during the 2010s, coined by Sean Monahan, founder of trend-forecasting consultancy 8Ball, and former co-founder of art collective K-HOLE. Read more at...

What is a bioengineered food and why do some food packages now have that label?

You may have noticed a new label on some foods from the grocery store with a word that some people are finding disconcerting or at the least confusing — “bioengineered.” So what is a bioengineered food ingredient and why are those labels suddenly showing up on food packaging? In 2016, Congress passed the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standardrequiring food manufacturers, importers, and certain retailers to disclose foods that have been bioengineered, and Jan. 1, 2022, was the date for mandatory compliance. You may be more familiar with the terms “genetically modified,” or “GMO.” The new standard replaces those terms with “bioengineered,” or “BE.” Are bioengineered foods safe? A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committeeexamined in-depth the potentia...

Boost your iron levels with these natural remedies

Iron is an important micro nutrient. It is needed for proper functioning of cells and also for a healthy immune system, brain function and muscle strength. Iron deficiency is the top most cause of anemia. The micro nutrient is an important component of hemoglobin (Hb), which carries oxygen from lungs to transport it throughout the body. Hb represents two-thirds of the body’s iron. Lack of sufficient iron means that your body will not be able to make enough of oxygen-carrying red blood cells. According to UNICEF, India has the largest number of young people, aged 10-19 years in the world – 243 million out of 1.2 billion. This age group comprise one-fourth of India’s population. However, 56 per cent of girls and 30 per cent of boys in the age group of 15-19 years in India suffer from anemi...

Whole-Foods Diet 101: A Complete Beginner’s Guide

When it comes to diets, people often gravitate toward those that feature a strict set of rules about what you can eat, how much, and at what time. A whole-foods diet is not like that. That’s because it’s not a traditional diet. Instead, it’s an overall approach to eating that can be used to guide your food choices over the long term. What Is a Whole-Foods Diet? A whole-foods diet is not a formal or commercial diet, says Lisa Young, PhD, RDN, author of Finally Full, Finally Slim and adjunct professor at New York University. Rather, a whole foods–based approach to eating is designed to be a long-term, sustainable plan. It’s about as self-explanatory as possible: You fill your plate with whole foods and, as much as you can, avoid those that are processed. Who...

Kratom, a substance made from Southeast Asian tree, has fans, foes

Evan Garcia is quick to praise kratom, a finely-ground powder made from the leaves of Mitragyna speciosa, a tropical evergreen tree in Southeast Asia, as a life-saver. The Colorado Springs native developed an addiction to opiate painkillers around 2009, after two shoulder surgeries thanks to playing high school football. Soon he was buying $100 worth of pills every day. His friends dropped out of his life. His family didn't talk to him. It wasn't a good life. But then a fellow painkiller addict told him about kratom, and how it helped him break free from his addiction. "When you’re on opiate painkillers or heroin, the government teaches you you can only get off with their medicines," said Garcia, manager of Laughing Lion Apothecary. "You’re substituting one for the other. I was taught y...
