EAT REAL FOOD

 One of the best ways to improve your physical and mental health is to eat real food. You can lower your risk of cancer, type II diabetes, heart disease, dementia, gout, autoimmune disorders, etc. Single ingredient, unprocessed food is low in unhealthy chemicals (which you don't need) and higher in nutrients (which you do need).

Another reason to eat real food, the large food companies have learned a few things from the cigarette companies, mainly how to manipulate ingredients and make their products (I won't call them food) highly addictive. A chicken sandwich at Carl's Jr. has over 100 ingredients (most of these are not really good for you or remotely food related). General Mills strawberry fruit snacks don't even contain strawberries. I bet you can't even pronounce most of the ingredients.

  This mass consumption of these chemical laced fake foods can lead to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, alzheimer's, etc.....

  What can you do?  Fight with your pocket book. Buy real food, support your farmers market, shop at a local food co-op, grow a garden. Not only will you be healthier but you will also have peace of mind knowing that you are not poisoning your loved ones.

GROUNDING

 Earthing (or grounding) refers to the discovery of benefits—including better sleep and reduced pain—from walking barefoot outside or sitting, working, or sleeping indoors connected to conductive systems that transfer the Earth's electrons from the ground into the body.

Is it legit? Probably, the list of benefits includes improved sleep, increased energy, less stress, improved blood flow, improved cardiac health. It is definitely an easy thing to try.
