Hello Followers,

Welcome to Monday!

And to the first official day of Autumn.

Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.

✨

This time of the year has always been Dan’s and my favorite season.

The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.

Life is like the ocean.

It can be calm or still, and rough or rigid, but in the end, it is always beautiful.

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

In some belief systems, ginger is thought to promote healing and protect against negative energy.

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

While the traditional uses of ginger for better health are numerous, today we can easily add to it the multiple beneficial properties discovered and confirmed by research.

Let us look at some of the most popular health benefits of ginger.

Frist it may relieve nausea!

The consumption of fresh ginger has been shown to be effective in reducing various forms of nausea, including morning sickness, motion sickness, and chemotherapy side effects.

This may be due to its ability to increase gastric motility and block serotonin receptors in the gut lining, which can help to silence the nerves that trigger the vomiting reflex.

Although a study published in Nutrition Journal reveals that ginger may help in relieving nausea during pregnancy but was not seen to be as effective in treating problems of vomiting.

Significantly, it did not show any side effects, an important factor when treating pregnant women.

Ginger is not recommended for use during pregnancy, especially for people close to labor, with a history of pregnancy loss or vaginal bleeding, or with clotting disorders.

Its quick absorption and rapid regulation of body functions cure nausea in people who have undergone surgeries, without any side effects.

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

DID YOU KNOW!

Studies find meditation can slow, stall or even reverse brain aging with brain scans revealing that the brains of long-term meditators look on average 7.5 years younger than non-meditators.

Meditation can help with brain aging by promoting neuroplasticity, helping the brain form new connections and maintaining its flexibility.

Meditation also activates networks in the brain that affect a range of mental and emotional processes.

Meditation also increases gray matter density in areas of the brain that affect attention, emotions, and self-awareness.

Meditation also helps maintain the length of telomeres, which are protective caps on chromosomes that can dwindle over time and contribute to aging.

Meditation also reduces inflammatory markers that contribute to accelerated brain aging.

Meditation can also slow shrinkage of the hippocampus, which is the part of the brain responsible for learning, memory, and emotional regulation.

Meditation can also increase cortical thickness, which is associated with memory and decision making.

Furthermore, meditation can increase alpha brain waves, which are responsible for sustained attention.

Meditation also lowers cortisol levels, a hormone that makes it harder to create and recall memories.

Additionally, meditation can activate the frontal lobes of the brain, which help regulate emotional responses and concentration.

Long-term meditators have larger frontal lobes than non-meditators.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE OCEAN, soothing wisdom from the sea – By Richard Harrtington

TAKE TIME TO BREATHE

Imagine being a sea fish, left high and dry by the tide.

This can happen twice every day, with wind, freshwater rain, and hot sunshine added.

It sounds terrible, but this is what the common blenny, or shanny, thrives on.

The fish can encounter tens of feet above the low tideline, and if you peer into holes and crevices in rocks you are sure to find one within a short time.

While the fish must keep moist, it can take in air through its skin, and gulps air through its mouth too.

It can stay alive for several days out of water.

As soon as the tide returns, it can get back to swimming, feeding, and taking its oxygen from the water like any other fish.

Let go of stress, anxiety, and unwanted emotions with this calming 10-minute guided meditation.

This session is designed to help you clear your mind, ground your energy, and let go of negativity bringing you back to a state of peace and balance.

Until Tuesday, ginger is one of strength and power.

It is said to be a very protective herb and can help shield against negative energy.

Welcome to Autumn!
