Hello Followers,

Welcome to Tuesday!

The only opinion that matters is your own.

People’s opinions come and go, but self-respect is forever.

Be unapologetically you.

Life is too short to fit into someone else’s mold.

Be bold.

Be you, and do not apologize for it.

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

The only opinion that matters is your own.

People’s opinions come and go, but self-respect is forever.

When you feel stuck or face obstacles, holy basil can be a powerful ally.

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

Research shows that people who regularly consume Tulsi may be less likely to be immunocompromised and less susceptible to developing certain types of cancer cells.

According to research published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer, Tulsi, and its phytochemicals (including eugenol, rosmarinic acid, apigenin, myretenal, luteolin, β-sitosterol and carnosic acid), in some cases, may help prevent chemical-induced lung, liver, oral and skin cancers.

It is believed this is due to the herb’s anti-carcinogenic and antioxidant activity, which alters healthy gene expressions, induces cancer cell death, prevents blood vessel growth from contributing to cancer cell growth and stops metastasis which is the spread of cancer from one organ to another.

Holy basil also seems to protect the body from radiation poisoning and may help minimize damage from radiation treatment, according to research published in 2016 in the Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics.

It selectively protects the normal tissues against the destructive effects of radiation.

In fact, the journal Nutrition and Cancer published an interesting review outlining how Tulsi may cause less side effects than other cancer treatments as it is generally non-toxic.

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

DID YOU KNOW!

Chia seeds may be tiny, but they are loaded with big benefits.

Eating them every day for just two weeks can make a visible difference in how you feel and look.

Women who include chia seeds in their daily meals often notice better digestion, less bloating, and a natural glow to their skin that no makeup can match.

The magic lies in their rich nutrient profile.

Chia seeds are packed with fiber, which helps clean the digestive tract and keeps your gut healthy.

This smooth digestion also improves nutrient absorption, meaning your body gets more from the food you eat.

They are also full of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, nutrients that protect your skin from damage, reduce inflammation, and support collagen production.

Over time, this leads to softer, clearer, and brighter skin.

Plus, chia seeds are a good source of magnesium, calcium, and protein, giving you sustained energy and stronger bones.

Adding chia seeds to your diet is simple.

Mix them in water, sprinkle them over cereal or yogurt, or blend them into a smoothie.

Consistency is key, just two weeks of daily intake can make your body feel lighter, your stomach calmer, and your skin healthier.

Sometimes, the smallest foods create the biggest changes.

Dan and I welcome you to join us with the next book for our book club.

LET OTHERS GROOM YOUR HARD-TO-REACH PLACES

The undersea world has its harmful parasites, and fish, turtles, and other creatures cannot remove lice and other skin pests easily.

These animals know they can receive a healthy clean-up if they visit a cleaner wrasse, a helpful fish that specializes in grooming and de-lousing others.

A wrasse can have a queue of expectant visitors to its home spot on the reef, including predatory sharks and groupers that leave the wrasse unharmed in return for its services.
