Peppermint tea is a refreshing way to drink up more antioxidants and dial down caffeine. Other benefits may include easing congestion, nausea, and headaches.
Like all the members of the mint fam, peppermint tea contains the cooling benefits of menthol. But peppermint packs a much bigger punch compared to its delicate cousin spearmint.
Steeping dried peppermint leaves in hot water makes a zippy tea bound to wake you up even without caffeine. It may also help your head and stomach woes.

For more than a decade, researchers have been turning out studies to show that more time spent sitting correlates with a greater risk of mortality. Today’s research materials are a recent example of the type, the analysis carried out in a sizable study population. The most obvious cause to suggest is that people who spend more time sedentary also spend less time exercising, and it is the amount of exercise that actually matters. There are studies controlling for exercise level that show that sitting time correlates with mortality independently of exercise level, and there are studies that claim the opposite, that it is all about the degree of exercise rather than the time spent sitting. This is business as usual in the field of <a href="…

Inflammaging describes the raised, unresolved inflammation characteristic of old tissues, a dysfunction of the immune system that in turn produces failures of tissue maintenance and function. It arises from issues such as the inflammatory signaling of senescent cells and the reaction of the innate immune system to DNA debris from age-damaged cells. That senescent cells can be cleared, and that clearance will soon enough become a part of everyday medicine, means that the burden of inflammaging for future generations will be diminished. As a result, many age-related di…

“Refuse to inherit dysfunction. Learn new ways of living instead of repeating what you lived through.” ~Thema Davis
For anybody that experienced a chaotic childhood, stability in adulthood is unfamiliar territory.
When you grow up in an environment where shouting is the norm, unstable relationships are all you observe, and moods are determined by others in your household, it’s hard to ever feel relaxed.
As an adult dealing with the long-term effects of childhood instability and chaos, I jump at the slightest sound now.
And I know I’m not alone when I say instability is all I have experienced.
I recall one recent occasion when my flatmate asked jokingly, “What’s wrong with you? I live with you!” as sh…

Dry brushing won’t get rid of cellulite, but it may have a smoothing, exfoliating effect on your skin.
There are a plethora of peeps who swear dry brushing can help cellulite. But there’s actually no scientific evidence to support brushing your skin with dry bristles will banish those rimples and dimples.
If you don’t like the look of your skin, just remember: cellulite is an incredibly common and normal part of being human. And while you can’t just get rid of it with dry brushing, the practice may offer other skin benefits.

So much of our difficulties can be entangled with our sense of self worth — from whether we take care of ourselves with good habits to how we are in relationships to how much confidence we have at work.
Think about your biggest difficulties (other than problems at a national or global level) … how many of them could be resolved if you had an unshakable confidence in your self-worth? If you felt whole, complete, and incredibly worthy?
You could create and put your creation out into the world with confidence, and even market it to others.
You could launch a business or venture, create an organization to serve others, teach something you care about.
You could speak confidently in public, put your ideas out there, stand for yourself. You could set boundaries, express your needs, take care of yourself.

“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” ~Rumi
“Isn’t this a miracle?” I asked myself in the milk aisle at Whole Foods.
It was a Wednesday night after work, and I was buying a few staples to get us through the week. It was a completely ordinary moment in a completely ordinary day, and it was miraculous.
Rewind a few years, same Whole Foods, same shopping list, and you’d find me absentmindedly wandering the aisles, lost in a head full of worries. I couldn’t tell you now what I was worried about then—the house, the kids, money, probably.
My body would be tense, with a hint of tears right behind my eyes.
