Take care of yourself
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hey loves, we all know that I am a huge self care advocate. I have been loving myself real bad and one way to do it was through AROMATHERAPY.
So today let’s talk about it.
I have been looking into different ways to relax myself. From crystal baths to bedtime yoga, I am all ears to try anything. I started to read more about the Chinese Self healing method and through my research on the matter, I found out about aromatherapy!
So what is aromatherapy?
It is basically a holistic practice that uses essential oils to improve your overall well being. It is something that can be use with other practices such as meditation or visualization.
Here are few ways to do/use it
Through a diffuser: it will disperse the essential oil in your space making it easy to inhale and practice some inhalation exercises.
Through topical use: putting essential oil into body oil for either your skincare or massages.
Through your bath: adding drops of essential oils into your bath creates an aroma therapeutic experience. This is a chef kiss experience trust me!
Through compress: you basically use warm or cold compress infused with essential oils to release pain or to relax.
Because i love you guys, here is a list of essential oils and their use:
Lavender: Calming, sleep aid, relieves anxiety.
Peppermint: Energizing, eases headaches, aids digestion.
Eucalyptus: Clears congestion, antimicrobial.
Tea Tree: Antiseptic, combats acne, supports immunity.
Chamomile: Reduces stress, promotes relaxation.
Lemon: Uplifting, cleansing, boosts focus.
But my personal favourite is vanilla, its warm scent uplifts your mood and has great comforting properties.
I hope you give aromatherapy a try and discover more way to love yourself! There is so many thing we can do to improve our selves and i just want to be the prettiest and healthiest version of myself and i can feel I’m aligning there.
On that note, let’s prepare for this week with a lot of peace in our heart!

Life hack: belance in yourself
Tumblr media
Hormones are powerful chemical messengers produced by glands in the endocrine system. They travel through the bloodstream, regulating various bodily functions such as growth, metabolism, reproduction, and mood. Hormones play a significant role in maintaining balance in the body, known as homeostasis, and any imbalance can affect your mental and physical well-being.
How Hormones Work
Production: Hormones are secreted by glands like the thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, and ovaries/testes.
Transport: Once produced, hormones travel through the bloodstream to target cells or organs.
Receptors: Hormones bind to specific receptors on cells, triggering a response. This can involve altering cell activity, gene expression, or initiating a cascade of processes.
Feedback Mechanism: The body monitors hormone levels using feedback loops. For example, if a hormone level is too high or low, the body adjusts production to maintain balance.
Key Hormones and Their Functions
Cortisol: Stress hormone; regulates metabolism, immune response, and energy.
Serotonin and Dopamine: Mood and happiness regulators; linked to emotional well-being.
Insulin: Manages blood sugar levels.
Estrogen and Testosterone: Sexual health, energy, and bone strength.
Thyroid Hormones: Control metabolism and energy levels.
Melatonin: Regulates sleep-wake cycles.
Adrenaline (Epinephrine): Prepares the body for fight or flight.
Tumblr media
How to Support Hormonal Health
To feel better mentally and physically, it’s essential to maintain hormonal balance. Here are strategies to care for your hormones:
1. Nutrition
Balanced Diet: Eat whole, unprocessed foods rich in nutrients.
Healthy Fats: Avocados, nuts, seeds, and omega-3s (from fish) support hormone production.
Complex Carbs: Whole grains and vegetables regulate insulin levels.
Protein: Essential for hormone production; include lean meats, beans, and tofu.
Avoid Excess Sugar and Refined Carbs: These can cause insulin spikes and crashes.
Hydration: Proper hydration supports cellular communication and detoxification.
2. Sleep
7-9 Hours of Quality Sleep: Hormone regulation (like melatonin and growth hormone) occurs during deep sleep.
Consistency: Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily.
Limit Screen Time Before Bed: Blue light can suppress melatonin.
3. Stress Management
Mindfulness Practices: Meditation, yoga, and deep breathing reduce cortisol levels.
Physical Activity: Exercise releases endorphins, improving mood and balancing stress hormones.
Journaling or Therapy: Helps process emotions, reducing chronic stress.
4. Exercise
Moderation: Both too much and too little exercise can disrupt hormones. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity most days.
Strength Training: Boosts testosterone and growth hormone.
Cardio: Supports circulation and reduces stress.
5. Avoid Endocrine Disruptors
Limit Toxins: Avoid products with BPA, phthalates, and parabens (found in plastics and cosmetics).
Clean Water: Use filtered water to avoid contaminants.
Organic Foods: Reduce pesticide exposure, which can disrupt hormones.
6. Maintain a Healthy Weight
Excess body fat can increase estrogen levels, while too little fat can disrupt reproductive hormones.
7. Regular Medical Check-Ups
Hormone Testing: Regular blood tests can identify imbalances early.
Thyroid and Reproductive Health: Monitor specific hormones like TSH, estrogen, and testosterone as needed.
8. Natural Supplements (Consult a Professional First)
Vitamin D: Supports mood and immune function.
Magnesium: Regulates stress and supports sleep.
Adaptogens: Herbs like ashwagandha and maca root can balance stress hormones.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Reduce inflammation and support brain health.
Signs of Hormonal Imbalance
If you're experiencing persistent symptoms, consider consulting a healthcare provider:
Fatigue
Mood swings or anxiety
Unexplained weight changes
Irregular periods
Sleep disturbances
Low libido
Tumblr media
Conclusion
Hormonal health is essential for overall well-being. By prioritizing proper nutrition, stress management, exercise, and regular medical care, you can support your endocrine system and feel better both mentally and physically.

Seventh Body - The Auric Body
In the teachings of Kundalini Yoga, the human being has 10
bodies, not 1. Each body has its own attributes, and the 7th body is the Auric Body.
Seventh Body: Auric Body
The aura is the electromagnetic field that surrounds your body; it contains, projects, and interacts with the energetic life force, it usually extends three to nine feet beyond the physical body.
Qualities: Mercy, security, love, celestial charisma.
Key phrase: “Platform of Elevation”
Mastery: Projects positivity and repels negativity, like a shield; illness cannot penetrate your physical body; radiates magnetic security and an inspiring, merciful presence
If weak: constrictive, paranoid, lack of self-trust; negativity can penetrate into the psyche and physical body; there may be a tendency to conform to please others by overexpressing yourself
Key to Balancing Auric Body: practice meditation, pranayama, vigorous yoga, and martial arts. Wearing white clothing made of natural fibers gives about a 12-inch boost to the aura. Work on the Eighth Chakra. A strong auric body sustains the health of the pranic body. And it is the health of the pranic body that allows the auric body to emanate out as a magnificent force field to be reckoned with. The two together keep our physical body and immune system strong and allow us to walk and work fearlessly as who we are. Be mindful of the positive effects of water, internally and externally.
Each of the ten bodies relates specifically to the qualities of one of the ten Sikh gurus.
Guru Har Rai the seventh Sikh Guru. Read and study the life of Guru Har Rai Sing out loud, often, and joyfully. Elevate others with your singing. Wear white clothing made of natural fibers. A question to ask the Seventh Body? Do I allow myself to elevate myself and others?
FEELING In a challenging position, this may manifest as a person with low self-esteem. They may feel that shine comes from outward appearance rather than from within. They may also feel that people expect them to be more independent and nurturing and that they have to live up to their expectations.
Threatened by other’s energy or situations, overwhelmed by other’s energy, not true to own principles, has “Thin skin” can be Isolating, not able to uplift oneself, have weak boundaries, lays awake trying to fix loved ones and overwhelmed with all negative aspects of their life.
The inner desire is to be oneself, regardless of anyone’s expectations.
In a strong position, this will manifest as an intelligent person, a wise person. They are independent. They like to read, and they like music. This may represent a nun or priest living in seclusion. This is someone who has obtained intense knowledge through many lifetimes. They also have learned to uplift themselves, and they can be good teachers and very good parents because their presence uplifts environments and circumstances. They can work in relative seclusion, i.e. a scientist in a laboratory, a park ranger in the forest, a priest, or a nun.
They may seek financial security, a platform of elevation, security, mercy self-contained, secure, like to sing, uplifting to self and others, elevates themselves with ease, self-contained, and has strong boundaries.
The seventh body is the auric body, which is the electromagnetic field that surrounds a person. Most children are able to see auras at a very early age between 2 and 4. After that, the pituitary gland changes and this makes it more difficult to see them. You can do certain meditations to develop this quality.
A regular aura can be somewhere between three and nine feet. Between three and seven is the most common. A nine-inch aura is rare. Wearing white clothes increases the aura by 12 inches.
People with strong auras can be very uplifting to be with. They put you in that state too, it’s contagious.
There are many benefits of a strong aura. The person is surrounded by this electromagnetic field that protects him/her and gives them projection. Auras are nurturing, compassionate, charismatic, and “human forklifts”. That’s why the key phrase is “platform of elevation”.
Meditation Meditation for the Aura. Sit in an easy pose and place your hands on your knees. Now concentrate on the space around your body, the electromagnetic field. Feel it getting bigger. The following affirmations should be repeated, keeping the focus on the electromagnetic field: I AM LIGHT. I AM STRONG. I AM BRIGHT. I AM BEAUTIFUL. I AM KIND. WHA HE GURU. Repeat 7 times
Aura: Electromagnetic field around the body. It protects us as well as helps us project from the heart.

Can You Boost Immunity Naturally and Heal Holistically? Discover Secrets from Nutrition to Piercings
Tumblr media
In today's fast-paced world, people are seeking more natural and holistic ways to care for their health—whether it’s about strengthening the immune system, managing high blood pressure, or choosing the right breakfast on the go. Let’s dive into powerful, natural approaches that touch on everything from eye teratomas to lower back dermal piercings, and even blood type O diets.
Tumblr media
🌿 How to Boost Immunity Naturally?
Your immune system is your body’s first line of defense. Strengthen it with:
Vitamin C-rich foods: Citrus fruits, bell peppers, kiwi
Zinc sources: Pumpkin seeds, seafood (especially oysters!)
Sleep & stress control: Aim for 7–9 hours per night, meditate daily
Probiotics: Yogurt, kefir, and fermented foods support gut health, key to immunity
Natural herbs like echinacea, elderberry, and turmeric also support immune response without harsh chemicals.
Tumblr media
🧘‍♂️ Holistic Cure for High Blood Pressure
A holistic approach to high blood pressure involves lifestyle, nutrition, and stress control:
Exercise regularly: Even brisk walking 30 minutes a day makes a big difference
Reduce sodium: Stick to 1,500 mg a day or less
Relaxation practices: Yoga, breathwork, and acupuncture may reduce systolic pressure
Herbs like garlic, hibiscus, and flaxseed: Nature’s own blood pressure regulators
Tumblr media
🐟 What Are the Health Benefits of Seafood?
Seafood is a powerhouse of nutrients:
Omega-3 fatty acids: Good for heart, brain, and inflammation
Lean protein: Supports muscle repair and keeps you full longer
Iodine & selenium: Support thyroid function
Vitamin D: Especially in salmon, vital for immune health
Bonus: Regular seafood intake is linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s.
Tumblr media
💎 Lower Back Dermal Piercings: Are They Safe?
Lower back dermal piercings, often called "venus piercings," are more than just a style statement. Here’s what to consider:
Safety: Always get it done by a licensed professional
Healing: Takes 1–3 months; requires diligent aftercare
Risks: Potential for infection, rejection, or irritation from clothing
Natural remedies like diluted tea tree oil may help soothe irritation—always check with your piercer first!
Tumblr media
🏠 Home Remedies That Actually Work
Some home remedies have stood the test of time:
Honey + ginger: Soothes sore throats and aids digestion
Aloe vera gel: Treats burns, acne, and dry skin
Apple cider vinegar: Balances pH, supports digestion, and can help with dandruff
Always remember—natural doesn't always mean safe. Test remedies on a small area first!
🍳 Nutritious Fast Food Breakfast: Is It Possible?
Yes! Here are nutritious fast food breakfast options when you're in a rush:
Egg White Grill (Chick-fil-A): High in protein, low in carbs
Oatmeal (Starbucks or McDonald's): Ask for it without added sugar
Greek yogurt parfaits: Watch for added sugar, but they offer protein and probiotics
Breakfast burritos (customized): Choose whole grains, eggs, and veggies
Pair it with green tea or water to avoid sugary drinks.
Tumblr media
🩸 What Are the Best Foods for Blood Type O?
For those who follow the Blood Type Diet, Type O individuals thrive on:
High-protein meals: Lean meats, seafood, and veggies
Avoid grains and legumes: Especially wheat, corn, and kidney beans
Great foods: Spinach, broccoli, seaweed, and olive oil
Limit: Dairy and caffeine, as they may not digest well
This diet isn’t for everyone, but many say it helps with energy and digestion.
Tumblr media
️ Eye Teratoma: What Should You Know?
Eye teratomas are rare tumors that can contain multiple types of tissue (like bone, hair, or muscle). While alarming, many are benign. Treatment often involves surgical removal. It's a reminder of how important regular checkups and early diagnosis are, even in unlikely areas like the eye.
Conclusion
Living a holistic lifestyle doesn't mean giving up modern convenience. Whether you're rocking lower back dermal piercings, seeking natural ways to manage high blood pressure, or picking a quick, healthy breakfast at a drive-thru, there are balanced, mindful options for every path.
Have you tried any of these methods or foods? Share your story or tips below!

do you have any idea how to deal with period cramps? I need to get my period two days from now and my insides are melting
Pain killers (ibuprofen or mefenamic acid are my faves), heat packs, gentle exercise (walking, yoga), water. Chocolate or your favourite comfort foods can help a little bit. And if you feel up to it sex/masturbation can relieve cramps for a while as well.
Comfort food all the way but don’t forget to eat healthy foods as well. You’ll feel worse if you only eat chips and chocolate the whole week. Vitamin C from fruit and veggies will boost your immune system and keep you healthy while you’re down.
Period pain sucks but it shouldn’t prevent you from doing your normal routine. If it’s bad enough to keep you home from school/work you might have something else going on (PCOS, endometriosis, anaemia)

Moving Meditation Motivations Discovering the Right Focus Technique
There are some people who can sit through meditation while other individuals simply cannot. During a passive meditation they find themselves fidgeting and unable to focus. This leads to further frustrations, and an unwillingness to try any sort of meditation again.
The advice most people hear is to try again or that they were not doing it right. Well, guess what? There are other ways to possibly reach a meditative state of mind when your body is in motion. Moving meditation, if done accurately can give a person the same benefits as passive meditation where one sits.
How to Choose Your Activity
It should be something that engages you and holds your focus for an extended period roughly anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes a day. To gain a better meditative state one must do something that is continuous, fluid, methodical, and repetitive so that the movements become more automatic in time.
For example, a walk in the park at a steady pace putting your attention on your breath, and taking in the sights that surround you such as:
how the sun feels on your skin
the clouds overhead
if there is a wind breeze
examining the trees and their own leaves
It's all about the state of mind you're able to achieve being one of mindfulness, of living in the moment, of relaxed awareness.
Other Suggestions
Walk a Labyrinth: One walks clockwise in a circle or in a particular pattern towards the center of a destination point. It should not be like a maze where you find yourself frustrated towards the end, but choosing a pattern that fits you and your needs.
Qigong: This is a 5,000-year-old Chinese health exercise technique. Its goal is to synchronize the breath with the mind's intentions. One moves with flow and grace as they further learn this skill.  A regular practice can lower your blood pressure and boost your immunity, flexibility, and circulation.
Example:
1. Relax your body, imagining that your feet are sinking deep into the earth. Your hands are in front of your lower belly, palms facing each other, forming a ball of energy.
2. Inhale. Open your arms to the sides as if to expand the ball, while raising your arms, to shoulder height.
3. At shoulder level, turn the thumbs back and the palms up and exhale, releasing any tension from your body as you drop and relax your shoulders, elbows, and hands.
4. Inhale, as you raise your arms up over your head.
5. Palms facing down, deeply exhale as you lower them, “showering” the body with cleansing, revitalizing energy. Repeat three times.
Yoga Exercises: There are several different methods of yoga, some having religious dogma attached while others focus primarily on the exercises themselves. Everyone has different preferences, but if you are looking to simply relax and reach a meditative state then I suggest trying out the exercises themselves. This is a practice to connect the body and mind into one.
Tai Chi:  Short for Tai ji quan, or T'ai chi ch'üan, is an internal Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training, its health benefits and meditation. The term Taiji refers to a philosophy of the forces of yin and yang.
Karate Katas:  A practice of detailed patterns of movements either solo or in pairs. Karate kata are executed as a specified series of a variety of moves, with stepping and turning, while attempting to maintain perfect form.
Art: painting, drawing, etc.
Crafts: knitting, crocheting, paper folding, weaving, anything rhythmic.
Exercise: stationary bike, weightlifting, elliptical machine, step climbing, sports, etc.
Playing a game that has a repeating theme and is not too difficult that one can get into.
Music: focusing on the song's rhythm, beats, and possibly lyrics. Pick something that reached out to you as an individual.

Gently Boost Your Lymphatic Flow at Home! lymphatic drainage massage 💧
Ever wonder about that system working silently behind the scenes to help clear out waste and support your immunity? That's your lymphatic system! Think of it as your body's internal cleansing network, moving fluid (lymph) that contains waste products and immune cells.
Unlike your circulatory system which has the heart as a pump, the lymphatic system relies on muscle movement, breathing, and gravity to keep things flowing smoothly. When this flow becomes stagnant (due to inactivity, dehydration, stress, etc.), you might experience things like puffiness, sluggishness, brain fog, or feel more susceptible to colds.
Supporting your lymphatic drainage is a gentle way to encourage your body's natural detox processes and feel more vibrant. Here are 4 simple ways to activate lymphatic flow at home:
Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing:
How it Helps: The pumping action of deep belly breaths acts like a powerful internal massage for lymphatic vessels, especially deep in the torso.
How to Do It: Lie down comfortably. Place one hand on your chest, one on your belly. Inhale slowly through your nose, letting your belly rise (chest stays relatively still). Exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat for 5-10 minutes daily.
Gentle Dry Brushing:
How it Helps: The light brushing motion on the skin can stimulate surface lymphatic vessels, encouraging movement towards lymph nodes.
How to Do It: Using a natural bristle brush, start at your feet and use long, gentle strokes upwards towards your heart. Brush your arms upwards towards your armpits. Always brush towards the center of your body/heart. Use light pressure – you're stimulating the skin, not scrubbing it! Do this before showering.
Simple Self-Massage (Neck & Collarbone):
How it Helps: Gently massaging key areas where lymph nodes cluster can help move stagnant fluid.
How to Do It: Using light, gentle pressure with your fingertips:
Stroke downwards along the sides of your neck, from behind the ears towards the collarbone.
Gently pump/press in the soft hollows just above your collarbones.
Repeat several times. Can be done with a light oil or lotion if preferred.
Movement & Rebounding:
How it Helps: Muscle contraction is crucial for moving lymph! Any form of movement helps. Rebounding (gentle bouncing on a mini-trampoline) is particularly effective due to the vertical motion and gravitational pull.
How to Do It: Go for a walk, stretch, do yoga, dance! Or, gently bounce on a rebounder (or even just bounce lightly on the balls of your feet) for a few minutes daily.
🚑 Important Note: These are general wellness practices. If you have significant swelling (lymphedema) or serious health concerns, always consult with a qualified healthcare professional or certified lymphatic therapist.

How to Detox Your Body Naturally with Ayurveda
In today’s fast-paced world, our bodies are constantly exposed to toxins — through processed foods, pollution, stress, and irregular routines. Over time, these toxins (known as “Ama” in Ayurveda) accumulate in the body and disrupt our natural balance, leading to fatigue, poor digestion, skin issues, and even chronic illnesses.
Tumblr media
Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of holistic healing, offers powerful yet gentle ways to cleanse the body, boost immunity, and restore vitality. Here’s how you can detox your body naturally with Ayurvedic practices:
What Is Ama (Toxin) in Ayurveda?
In Ayurveda, “Ama” refers to the toxic waste that builds up due to poor digestion and unhealthy lifestyle habits. It is considered the root cause of many diseases. Detoxification helps eliminate this Ama from the digestive tract and tissues, rejuvenating the body and mind.
Signs You Need an Ayurvedic Detox
Constant fatigue or heaviness
Sluggish digestion or bloating
Bad breath or coated tongue
Acne or dull skin
Brain fog or low mood
Poor immunity or frequent illness
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s a sign that your body may need a gentle reset.
Ayurvedic Ways to Detox the Body
1. Start Your Day with Warm Water
Drinking warm water (with lemon or a pinch of turmeric) first thing in the morning flushes out toxins and kickstarts digestion.
2. Follow a Simple Detox Diet
Eat light, easily digestible, and nourishing foods for a few days:
Kitchari (a mix of rice, lentils, and spices) is the ideal detox meal.
Avoid dairy, sugar, processed foods, caffeine, and fried items.
Focus on fresh fruits, steamed vegetables, herbal teas, and spices like cumin, ginger, and fennel.
3. Use Detoxifying Herbs
Triphala: A mild laxative that cleanses the colon.
Neem: Purifies the blood and clears the skin.
Turmeric: Supports liver detox and reduces inflammation. Always consult an Ayurvedic expert before using herbs regularly.
4. Practice Abhyanga (Oil Massage)
Daily self-massage with warm sesame oil boosts circulation, relaxes the body, and draws out toxins from deeper tissues.
5. Sweat It Out
Gentle activities like yoga, walking, or even a warm bath help open the pores and eliminate toxins through sweat.
6. Follow Dinacharya (Daily Routine)
Consistency is key. Waking up early, eating meals at regular times, and going to bed before 10 PM help align your body’s natural rhythms and support detox.
7. Panchakarma — The Ultimate Detox
For deeper detoxification, Ayurveda recommends Panchakarma — a series of personalized, therapeutic treatments under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner. It involves techniques like oil therapy, enemas, steam, and herbal cleansing, and should be done seasonally or as advised.
Final Thoughts
Detox doesn’t have to mean harsh diets or extreme fasting. With Ayurveda, you can support your body’s natural cleansing process in a gentle, nourishing, and sustainable way. By following these Ayurvedic detox practices, you’ll feel lighter, more energized, and more in tune with your body.
Listen to your body, detox with care, and embrace holistic wellness the Ayurvedic way.

The Role of Breathwork in Los Angeles’ Holistic Health Movement
Tumblr media
In recent years, breathwork Los Angeles has become a key component of the city’s growing holistic health movement. As more individuals turn to alternative therapies for stress relief, mental clarity, and emotional healing, breathwork is gaining attention for its powerful impact on both the body and mind. This practice, which involves conscious control of breathing patterns, is now widely used in wellness centers, yoga studios, and therapeutic retreats throughout Los Angeles. From busy professionals to wellness enthusiasts, people are discovering how breathwork supports healing, mindfulness, and balance in everyday life.
Understanding Breathwork as a Holistic Practice
What Is Breathwork?
Breathwork is a form of intentional breathing that helps regulate emotions, reduce stress, and enhance mental clarity. Unlike regular breathing, this technique involves deeper and more controlled breaths to influence the nervous system and promote relaxation. Various methods of breathwork exist, including transformational breath, rebirthing, and holotropic breathing, each offering unique benefits.
Why Does It Matters in Holistic Health?
Holistic health focuses on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Breathwork fits perfectly into this approach by addressing emotional blocks, mental fatigue, and physical tension. In Los Angeles’ holistic wellness community, breathwork is valued for its ability to naturally align mental and physical health.
The Rising Popularity of Breathwork in Los Angeles
Where to Find Breathwork Classes and Sessions?
From Santa Monica to Silver Lake, breathwork sessions are available in various wellness studios, healing centers, and even outdoor spaces. Practitioners often integrate sound healing, meditation, or body movement to enhance the breathwork experience.

The pandemic revealed a major blind spot in healthcare: we focused on vaccines and external solutions but largely ignored nutrition—the foundation of a strong immune system.
Whether or not you chose/choose to vaccinate, the truth remains: immunity is built from the inside out. A robust immune system is your body’s frontline defense, and it needs proper care to thrive. This is that much more applicable if you have any kind of health imbalance or disease.
Here are 5 ways to strengthen it:
🥗 Eat Whole Foods: Focus on colorful veggies, fruits, lean proteins, & healthy fats.
💊 Support Gut Health: Load up on fiber, fermented foods, pre & probiotics.
😴 Prioritize Sleep: 7–9 hours nightly helps repair your body.
🏃‍♀️ Move Daily: Moderate exercise reduces inflammation & boosts immunity.
🧘‍♀️ Manage Stress: Incorporate mindfulness, yoga, journaling, or meditation.
Imagine if we had prioritized these tools during the pandemic. Let’s not wait for the next crisis to take control of our health.
