One simple change can have such a dramatic impact.
Getting enough sleep is perhaps one of the most important things we can do for our health and body. Sleep is a chance for the body to repair itself and to reenergize.
Ever since I read the book “Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker (not an affiliate link), I became more aware of how sleep virtually impacts every cell in our body and how not getting consistent and adequate high-quality sleep can severely impact our body.
I made a promise to myself that I would try to get at least 7 hours of sleep if not more every single night…
Toxic people are just not worth your time so don’t waste your time on them.
In this fast-moving world where everyone is trying to craft a perfect life for themselves, it makes sense that you have probably met a person that…
- Tries to gain an unfair advantage over others
- Acts like a dictator to twist people into their line of thinking
- Tries to bring you down to make themselves appear superior
- Doesn’t care whatsoever about your personal feelings
- Avoids taking responsibility for mistakes and shifts blame to other people
All 5 fingers on our hand are not the same length which makes each finger unique. As such, every person on this planet has his/her own…
There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Stress is everywhere you look.
People are stressed about everything.
Some people don’t earn enough money from work.
Some people have lost their loved ones.
Some people are going through a divorce or a break-up.
Some people have lost everything and have nowhere to turn to.
The COVID-19 pandemic has only made things worse. It has led to lockdowns, lost jobs, deaths, loss of a source of income, etc.
Because of this, stress levels, depression, and anxiety have skyrocketed this past year. With so much uncertainty and anxiety, we naturally look for remedies or ways to alleviate our tensions.

You’d be surprised how this can change the scope of your decision making.
You’d be surprised how effective it is to change your thinking to long-term.

It still is one of the hottest health food trends.
Avocado toast may have started around in the early 1990s when a chef started slathering avocado onto toast and adding it to his menu. Other chefs soon followed suit.
Avocado toast has become a breakfast trend with it ranking as the top trendy breakfast option in 2017. The popularity of this breakfast increased by more than 50% and has also appeared in almost 534,000 Instagram posts.

These small changes can add up to something very big.
After a long, tiring, and stressful day, everyone just wants to go to bed and sleep all night long.
But…
What if you have trouble sleeping at night?
What if you periodically wake up throughout the night?
What if you keep tossing around your bed?
I don’t know about you, but I don’t call that high-quality sleep. It doesn’t matter if you slept for 8 or even 10 hours last night if your sleep wasn’t high quality.
You can’t expect your brain and body to support you each and everyday if you don’t get enough AND high-quality sleep.
For most…
#1 — They are super high in antioxidants.
After strawberries, blueberries are the second most popular berry in the United States.
In fact, the United States is the world’s largest producer of blueberries with a total of 690 million pounds of cultivated and wild blueberries produced in 2016.
With so much production and consumption, blueberries have their health benefits to back up their demand.
Here are 4 reasons why blueberries wear their royal crown:
They are super high in antioxidants.
When I say blueberries are super high in antioxidants, I literally mean super high. In fact, blueberries are thought to have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all fruits and vegetables.
But what…
Think of it as a massage for your brain.
First, let me define what napping is.
Napping is to sleep for a short period of time typically during the day. Almost one-third of U.S. adults nap on a typical day.
The #1 rule for napping is to sleep between 10–20 minutes. The reason is because if you nap for longer than 20 minutes, chances are very high that you will fall into a deep sleep. If you wake up during your deep sleep, you will feel groggy and more tired than when you first when to sleep.
This is called sleep inertia.
This mainly happens because during deep sleep…
Who came up with this nonsense?
There are so many nonsense theories and claims out there in regards to health and fitness. Unfortunately, many of these claims make logical sense and may convince someone to give them a try.
However, these nonsensical myths and claims are downright false and thus, people should be more aware about what ideas they choose to follow.
Here are some of the most commonly believed myths:
Lots of sit-ups will make your stomach as flat as a pancake (spot reduction)
Sit-ups mainly work your core abdominal muscles which are the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, obliques, hip flexors, etc. Doing sit-ups helps tone and strengthen these muscles.
However, it’s completely wrong to assume that you can…
It literally jolts your entire body from head to toe.
There is nothing more refreshing than taking a shower to cool yourself down and to feel more refreshed.
Well, using the restroom to relieve yourself, drinking water on a hot day, getting a massage, etc. are also equally refreshing but that is a topic for another day.
The rule that most people stick by is to take their showers at normal temperature. If it is cold outside, use warm water and if it’s hot, use cold water. This makes sense because these temperatures allow us to feel comfortable in whatever environment we are in.
However, sometimes it’s okay to step…
