Hello Followers,

HAPPY HUMP DAY!

What is the most important relationship in your life?

You might answer with a partner, a family member, or a friend.

But the real answer is that the most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself.

After all, there is nobody you will spend more time with!

Too many people neglect their own self-love, feeling like they are not deserving of it or that it is bragging to say you love yourself.

Dan and I learned that it is totally not true!

You are the most deserving of your own love, simply by being you.

Go ahead and embrace it!

It is time to dive into the incredible health benefits of garlic and explore easy ways to incorporate it into your lifestyle today.

Garlic is the secret weapon that adds a touch of enchantment to every recipe.

So, again do not underestimate the power of spices and herbs in promoting health.

You may not love the idea of rubbing garlic oil all over you, but research has shown that garlic oil is a potent anti-inflammatory.

It contains compounds that fight inflammation, such as:

Fresh Garlic Bulbs: S-allyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide (alliin) and γ-glutamyl cysteine derivatives

Garlic Powder: diallyl disulfide (DADS) and alliin

Ground Garlic: dithiines, sulfide family compounds, and (E–Z)-ajoene compounds

The Arthritis Foundation recommends rubbing garlic oil on inflamed joints to prevent cartilage damage and reduce pain caused by osteoarthritis.

KNOWLEDGE IS A TREASURE, BUT PRACTICE IS THE KEY TO IT

DID YOU KNOW!

Did you know that children’s developing brains are far more vulnerable to radiation than adults?

A child’s skull is thinner, which allows radiation to penetrate deeper into brain tissue.

As a result, kids can absorb up to ten times more radiation than adults, making exposure from devices, medical scans, or environmental sources a significant concern.

The developing brain is highly sensitive because it undergoes rapid growth and neural network formation.

Excessive radiation during these critical stages can interfere with normal development, potentially affecting cognitive functions, memory, and attention over time.

This heightened vulnerability underscores the importance of monitoring and limiting unnecessary exposure, especially in everyday activities involving screens, X-rays, or other sources of radiation.

Parents, caregivers, and educators can take practical steps to protect children.

Using radiation-shielding measures during medical imaging, keeping devices at a safe distance, and encouraging limited screen time are simple yet effective ways to reduce exposure.

Additionally, public awareness and updated safety standards play a crucial role in ensuring children grow up in environments that safeguard their health.

This fact serves as a reminder that children are not just smaller adults, their bodies and brains react differently to environmental factors.

Protecting their developing brains today lays the foundation for healthier, more resilient adults tomorrow.

You get to decide what today becomes and this morning meditation helps you do exactly that.

In just 8 minutes, you will ground gratitude and spark genuine excitement for what is possible today.

With simple prompts and calming guidance, you will shift your energy, reconnect with what matters, and begin your day with intention.
