7/15/24: 🤸🏼 98-Year-old gymnast, simplest sprouts, and music brain

Happy Monday my friend,

Have you ever experienced a tremor in your hands? It isn’t always a sign of something serious, but it might be worth evaluating your stress, stimulants (caffeine or other substances), and any consistent anxiety. If it’s ever happened to you, THIS video might offer a helpful non-invasive approach to seek relief.

👵 BE THE CHANGE: It’s never too late to improve your body and physical health. Watch 98-year-old gymnast Johanna Quaas complete a remarkable parallel bar routine, including an inspiring inverted shoulder stand! She’s quoted as saying “If you are fit, it is easier to master life.” Do you feel that saying is true for you, too?

🍝 RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Artichoke fans, you’ll love this artichoke and spinach pasta recipe. Dairy-free and packed with flavor, this is straightforward to whip up, and only requires one pot to assemble (which means after dinner clean-up just became even easier.)

🌱 SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT: Growing broccoli sprouts is one of our favorite ways to savor nutrients like sulforaphane, a powerful anti-inflammatory superfood. (We’ve been loving THIS sprout growing kit next to our kitchen sink, if you’re looking to grow your own.) Click here to read more about how broccoli sprouts are 50-100 times more potent than big broccoli bundles!

🧠 MIND: Can music make you smarter? Results of a new study compared the brain activity and cognitive performance of musically trained children and non-musically trained children, and found that musical kids had better attention and working memory, and that these improvements were linked to changes in their brain waves. Keep the music playing!

🌳 BODY: What’s one of the best ways to improve anxiety, self-worth, and increase optimism? Data from a new study in the UK says “The Green Gym” formula provides “evidence of the wellbeing benefits of community-based nature sessions,” where participants plant trees, sow meadows and improve wildlife ponds together as a group.

🎋 SPIRIT: The Japanese word “yutori” loosely translates to “the space to have peace of mind.” With room to breathe and a concept of spaciousness in your spirit, you can experience deeper fulfillment. TIP: If you suspect you’re lacking yutori in your life, this article suggests to make “a conscious effort to divorce yourself from your mobile devices every evening and engage in activities that will make you feel content.”

📲 Over Tech-ed

Feeling drained in our tech-saturated world?

Modern life surrounds us with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by devices we use every day (wifi-routers and cellphones at the top of a long list).

While the long-term health effects of EMFs are still being studied, some people – including myself – choose to take precautions.

This collection offers a variety of EMF-protection strategies to help you manage your exposure. Find phone pouches, laptop shields, and anti-radiation blankets designed to reduce your exposure to this minimally tested radiation.

Here are some of the benefits of using EMF-protection products:

• Peace of mind: Whether the science is conclusive or debated for another few decades, you can find comfort in taking steps to reduce your EMF exposure, before the long-term data is truly analyzed in an unbiased way.

• Improved sleep: EMFs can disrupt sleep patterns. Using an EMF-blocking blanket might help you achieve a better night's rest, and therefore could improve overall health.

• Increased focus: If you find yourself feeling drained or weak after using electronic devices, an EMF-protective laptop shield might be worth a try.

If you're concerned about EMF exposure, this is a potential solution to reduce how many of these frequencies pass through your muscle, organs, and brain tissue.

P.S. The telecommunications industry is one of the largest on Earth, and if you’ve seen corrupt data manipulation in fields like Big Pharma, Big Oil, etc…consider that the potential negative impacts of EMF would be devastating to large multi-national companies. While the debate on the science continues, I find it best to use the ‘precautionary principle’ and reduce my exposure just in case. These products can help.
