Heightened focus on social isolation has resulted in more research, greater concern. Since the initial correlation between loneliness, social isolation and poor health outcomes, new reports have emerged to try and understand why people are lonely and what can be done to mitigate it. AARP, which has been researching the subject since 2010, released new survey results in 2018 confirming the same percentage – 35 percent of adults age 45+ are lonely – but with a growing number of older adults in the population, this represents an additional five million adults based o…

Curcumin is a flavonoid antioxidant isolated from turmeric, the spice used in Indian curries, among other foods.
It is about as overhyped as any ingredient I have encountered lately for its “proven ability” to fight Alzheimer’s, heart disease, cancer, and anything else that ails you. If only this could be true. If it were, people in India who use this in their cooking would all live exceptionally long and healthy lives.
But to convince skeptics like me—and to sell curcumin supplements of course—the makers of such supplements fund studies.
I learned about this study from the industry newsletter, <a href="https://www.nutraingredients-latam.com/Article/2019/07/30/Longvida-curcumin-shows-cognitive-function-and-mood-benefits-in-older-folks-RCT?utm_source=newsletter_daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=01-Aug-2019&c=16HhEPC…

“You only see in others what you have in yourself.” ~Annette Noontil
I now recognize, after observing painful patterns repeat many times, how things that trigger me are just lessons I need to learn that are often delivered through other people. The more painful the experience, the more I can see (in retrospect) I learned from it.
Every now and then, when I find myself getting sucked into thoughts about the rightness or wrongness of a situation and how much pain it’s causing me, I take a step backward. I can see that people are just the mechanism to my growth, and painful experiences are just big Wrong Way signs redirecting me to my best life.

“Smile, breathe, and go slowly.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh
I felt everything, from my lower back pain flaring up to tightness in my jaw where I clinch and carry my stress. With my eyes still closed, I rolled my shoulders and repositioned the pillow under my butt. Five minutes had passed, and I had no idea how I would ever make it to forty.
I opened my left eye to see if anyone around me was fidgeting as well and saw rows of people sitting in perfect, cross-legged lotus position with straight necks and relaxed jaws next to me.
Our teacher, mindfulness author David Richo, sat in front, a relaxed calm floating around him like morning mist. I sighed, shut my eye again, and tried to concentrate on n…

As plant-based athletes, we’re all on a journey together:
To find the best vegan creamy sauce to use on all sorts of dishes, including mac and cheese.
Okay, maybe that’s not the only journey we’re on, but that smooth, silky sauce is one we all long for, and a hard one to replicate.
Many of us have found an acceptable alternative through the use of cashews… soak those nuts for a while, blend them with your choice of spices, and you can have nearly whatever sauce you’re hoping for.
But, let’s face it — cashews are pricey. And churning up a pound of them for the simple pleasure of a comfort food can be a hard pill to swallow.
Then when you start to consider some of the other factors — including environmental and ethical considerations that we’ll discuss below — that pound of cashews may begin to weigh a little more heavily on your conscience.
