ALGAE OIL VS FISH OIL #Algae is considered a prim

ALGAE OIL VS FISH OIL

#Algae is considered a primary source of omega-3 fats, and all fish — whether wild or farmed. Algae oil supplements are considered to be nutritionally equivalent to cooked salmon and work the same way as fish oil in your body.

A strong reason why choosing algae oil instead of fish or fish oil is that it's free from toxins and potentially harmful heavy metals, such as mercury which can be terrible for those with chronic conditions. Algae oil also seems to pose less risk of #digestive upset and — due to its neutral flavor — tends to be associated with fewer taste complaints.

Research also reveals that people with higher levels of omega-3 fats have a lower risk of certain health conditions:

. May support heart health
. Reduces depression
. May benefit eye health
. Reduces #inflammation

Try algae if you don't like eating fish or can’t tolerate the taste or after effects of fish oil. Or if you're worried about heavy metal buildup then algae may be the answer for you.

"MINDFUL EATING AND GUT HEALTH

Mindful eating is the practice of looking at your #food, smelling it, and really being present before you start eating, and even while chewing.
Those who practice mindful eating are less likely to overeat. When we slow down, we start to notice the subtler cues of satisfaction, so we stop eating at 80% full to prevent #indigestion.

Indigestion is one of the leading symptoms for people who have IBD and IBS.

So how can mindful eating become a thing?

- When you take a look in the fridge, ask yourself if you’re actually hungry or just eating out of boredom.
- Eating with someone else can slow you down. If you have someone to speak with, this will naturally slow down your eating process.
- Limit mindless distractions like the TV or scrolling on your phone.
- Enjoy your food. Switching your thoughts to the excitement and gratitude for the food that we eat will nourish our bodies.

How many times are you supposed to chew your food? The rule of thumb is that your food should resemble baby food before it is swallowed. This means a lot of chewing needs to happen.

Mindful #eating isn’t always about being perfect, but it is about focussing on all your senses whenever possible to help your body have a healthier relationship with #digesting food."

"HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES TO WHITE SUGAR

Make smart decisions while still indulging c what you crave. Healthier alternatives to white #sugar, from #antioxidants to #fiber, choose your favorite below👇

1. Fruit-sweetened #juices - Either opt for a green juice with a much higher veggie-to-fruit ratio or, better yet, go for a smoothie to ensure you're getting some fiber (and potentially fat and protein) as well.
2. Honey - look for ""raw"" and organic #honey, which tend to be less processed and contain more natural minerals. Honey is actually denser and sweeter than sugar, so you can use even less of it. (Start with half a teaspoon.)
3. #Coconut sugar - Use it in moderation as you would regular sugar, but know that you are getting an additional nutritional boost.
4. #Dates - They are relatively low on the glycemic index, which means that they spike your blood sugar less than refined sugars.
5. #Maple syrup - If you're down with its distinctive flavor, maple syrup is a great substitute for regular sugar or even honey if you're trying to cut back on your fructose load.
6. #Stevia - It's a great option, especially in the realm of calorie-free sweeteners. Those leaves are about 40 times sweeter than sugar, and the powdered form can be up 300 times sweeter—which means that a little goes a very, very long way.

Except finding sugar substitutes altogether another option would be finding #flavor from other sources such as coconut, cinnamon, coconut butter. It depends a lot on personal preference, which is why it's up to you to experiment and figure out what alternative works best for you.

HOW THE ACT OF GIVING CAN ACTUALLY MAKE YOU HAPPIE

HOW THE ACT OF GIVING CAN ACTUALLY MAKE YOU HAPPIER

Do you consider yourself happy? Sad? Depressed? Maybe you feel one of these emotions from time to time, especially in these confusing times for everyone.

There are many fluctuations in our state of mind that we can all be in. But fortunately, there is a lot of effort being focused on the #psychology of happiness — and how to implement it in your own life.

One of the biggest promoters of happiness is giving. Donating can actually cause a “warm glow” effect. It is also used the term “prosocial spending” as the main underlying factor. It defines the connection between human beings — those personal to you — as being an important part of receiving an increase in #happiness after helping someone.

Studies have also shown that giving has an effect on people’s #health. The act of giving can give even more benefits than just good feelings — its social connections can make you healthier too!

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BRAIN WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL SA

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BRAIN WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL SAFE

For decades, scientists have talked about the stress response as sort of the brain’s panic button: A perceived threat activates the alarm system, ratcheting up cortisol, speeding your heart rate, and shunting blood from your internal organs to your limbs so you can fight or flee. As a brain pattern, the stress response isn’t activated, but rather always on. Your prefrontal cortex — the brain region associated with higher-level functions like problem-solving and decision-making — works like brakes, keeping the stress response quiet but ready to be unleashed at lightning speed.

You might not even realize this lack of safety has loosed the stress response all over your body. You might simply feel drained or moody or short-tempered without consciously knowing exactly why. But there are a lot of conscious things you can do to replenish your resources of safety:

° Spread some love
° Practice mindfulness
° Control what you can
° Take steps to change the future

Taking action can increase our sense that the future might be different and that your sense of safety will eventually increase. Believing can make the world a little less terrifying.

BENEFITS OF PUTTING YOUR FEET IN THE DIRT! #Earth

BENEFITS OF PUTTING YOUR FEET IN THE DIRT!

#Earthing —also called Grounding— is all about energetically connecting with Mother Earth, but there’s also a more scientific angle to the practice.

When your bare feet (where your largest pours are) or skin comes in contact with the earth, free electrons are taken up into the body. These electrons could be referred to as nature’s biggest #antioxidants and help neutralize damaging excess free radicals that can lead to #inflammation and disease in the body.

Benefits earthing has been shown to help with:

° Defuse the cause of inflammation
° Reduce or eliminate chronic pain
° Improve Sleep and promote a deeper sleep
° Increase energy and vitality
° Lower stress and promote calmness in the body by cooling down the nervous system and stress hormones
° Improve blood pressure and flow
° Lessen hormonal and menstrual symptoms

SO… go barefoot outside for at least a half an hour daily and see what a difference it makes on your pain or stress levels. Sit, stand, lay or walk on grass, sand, dirt, or plain concrete.

WHY CAN SALADS MAKE YOU BLOATED? Vegetables consi

WHY CAN SALADS MAKE YOU BLOATED?

Vegetables consistently top the "#healthy foods" charts, but some people have difficulty digesting them. Because they're high in fiber, raw vegetables, specifically, can lead to #digestive symptoms like gas and #bloating.

Once the fiber reaches the colon, it's either broken down or fermented by the bacteria that live there naturally, or it remains mostly untouched, depending on if it's soluble or insoluble.

#Solublefiber, which is found in the highest percentage in beans, oats, peas, apples, citrus fruits, carrots and barley, travels to the large intestine where bacteria finally begin to break it down. After it's fermented, it turns into a gel-like substance that helps balance blood sugar and lower cholesterol. #Insolublefiber, which is the main fiber in raw vegetables, bran and nuts, doesn't get broken down by the bacteria as much.

Because raw #vegetables contain a high percentage of insoluble fiber, they can be a little hard on #digestion. It's not that you don't digest the vegetables at all, but the indigestible fiber slows down the rate at which the vegetables move through your digestive system.

Fortunately, there are some things you can do to better tolerate vegetables. You can make vegetables easier to #digest by cooking them instead of eating them raw. Cooking helps soften the vegetables, breaking down the plant walls and some of the fiber and making them easier to digest.

WHY SLEEP IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR HEALTH

Sleep is important to both your body and your mind. One or two missed nights of sleep won’t have serious effects on your #health. But miss sleep regularly, and you may begin to see problems. Most adults need seven to nine hours of sleep. Are you getting that much sleep?

Here are 5 top reasons why you shouldn't miss sleep:
° Controls your weight
° Helps your memory
° Improves your immune system
° Regulates blood sugar levels
° Improves mood

Everyone has a bad night of sleep here and there, but constant sleep-deprivation can cause a lot of #healthissues. If you’ve tried everything, but you’re still #sleepdeprived, contact your doctor.

INFLAMMATION: HOW IT AFFECTS OUR LIVES #Inflamma

INFLAMMATION: HOW IT AFFECTS OUR LIVES

#Inflammation as a whole is our body’s way of protecting itself from infection, illness, and injury. As a part of the inflammatory response, our bodies increase its production of the white blood cells, immune cells and substances called cytokines that help fight infection.

But what about the "other" type of inflammation?

This type of #inflammation is classified as ‘chronic’, or better known as ‘long-term’ and it is a cheeky little thing, as it tends to target your insides instead. Unfortunately, this is the one we need to seriously watch out for because it can be the driving force of many #illnesses and diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, #IBD, fatty liver, and cancer. In some cases, the leading aggravator for this type of inflammation can actually be stress and many other lifestyle factors.

Diet has a huge impact as there are especially harmful foods that should definitely be avoided because they’re considered to be extremely #inflammatory. Another game changer is exercise. If you’re not exercising, you’re increasing your levels of inside inflammation.

“INSIDE MY LIFE” - sarah, moxie co-founder. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Recently I was asked to be interviewed by Jen Swiss, from @shetakesfive to explore ways in which I balance my moxie life, while having a chronic illness. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, my gastroenterologist said to me ‘you’re going to be married to this for life’. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
At the time, I had just met a sexy Russian man and I certainly was not prepared to start an open relationship with him and my butt issues, but I had no choice. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In a blink of an eye, my diagnosis had just rewritten my entire future, and all I could control was my attitude towards it. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, I opened up my life to this new relationship and began learning everything there is to know about gut health. Fortunately, my forever passion in health was reignited again and this was the beginning of a new kind of chapter for me...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I met my very intelligent, supportive and hilarious business partner @louise_camilla and together we launched moxie. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And I married that sexy Russian, who has helped Louise and I build out the entire ‘tech’ side of moxie. Big things to come on that front! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So what has helped me balance my work life through chronic illness? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
- I’m passionate about what I do ⁣⁣
- I have a strong support ⁣⁣network
- I’m open minded to change ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Who else has a chronic illness while owning a business? I’d love to hear how you’re what your strategies are?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you want to read the interview, the LINK IS IN BIO @moxie.health ⁣⁣

Peace out, Sarah ✌🏼 xx ⁣

WHAT IS THE REAL BURDEN OF CHRONIC ILLNESS?⁣
⁣
Having a #chronicillness comes with a huge burden of 'new' kinds of conversations. Like the first time you tell someone you've got ulcerative colitis and next minute there's a bunch of violins opposite you playing sad songs. Or when you try to explain that it's 'incuraaableeeee' yet coffee enemas, or the "hujubaka bing bang" herb from the amazon rainforest seem to be the answer to a quick fix. So what can be done to kick the white elephant out of the room...? ⁣
⁣
Pity is super awkward: One of the most complicated and weird parts of chronic illness is pity. Living with chronic illness involves the necessary rituals and routines that allow the chronically ill to care for themselves. There is not a single person living with chronic illness — or disability, who enjoys the weirdness of pity. What is appreciated though, is empathy and respect for how our living experience may differ from others. ⁣
⁣
Take chronic illness seriously: Often times, chronic illness is invisible. There isn’t always a clear signal that someone lives with illness. It is also near impossible to imagine a chronic #health condition: an illness without relief. ⁣
⁣
Having a chronic illness can lead to anxiety in anticipation of the next awkward conversation — maybe not all the time, but it’s ever-present. So remember, although we can teach others how to communicate, soometimes its okay to have those weird conversations. We need to have those conversations with those around us, so that we can all help each other understand what's up. ⁣

TOP 5 NATURAL DIGESTIVE ENZYMES TO HELP YOU DIGEST

TOP 5 NATURAL DIGESTIVE ENZYMES TO HELP YOU DIGEST YOUR FOOD

To keep it simple, our body naturally produces #digestiveenzymes (a complex protein) that help with the breakdown of foods within your #digestivetract.

Although our body has its own ability to produce digestive enzymes when our digestive tracts aren’t working so well, the #enzymes need extra support to help break down foods, so we can avoid #tummyissues.

So, where can we get our digestive enzymes from?

° PINEAPPLE
° HONEY
° GINGER
° KIWIS
° PAPAYA

Click the link @moxie.health to find out how digestive enzymes can support #digestion, and which one of the above natural sources works best for you.

CAN TOILET FLUSHING SPREAD CORONAVIRUS? ⁣ ⁣ Wh

CAN TOILET FLUSHING SPREAD CORONAVIRUS? ⁣
⁣
When someone goes number two and flushes the toilet, the turbulent activity can send a cloud of tiny droplets three feet or more above the bowl, where they can be inhaled or fall to bathroom surfaces. ⁣
⁣
If the person using the toilet is infected with #Covid19, the suspended droplets could carry the #coronavirus. Since studies have found that #SARS-CoV-2, 19, can survive in human feces, this could potentially be another path of transmission for the #virus.⁣
⁣
Given this possibility, it behooves us to be more careful, especially in settings where people have an increased risk of morbidity and death due to #COVID-19. ⁣
⁣
Toilets in public restrooms typically don’t have lids. If you must use one, bring a face mask, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and be extra careful not to touch your face.

WHAT ARE VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (#VOCS)? ⁣
⁣
Consumer products are steadily becoming a severe air pollution-related #healththreat. The specific pollutants are called volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are gases emitted from various solids and liquids. ⁣
⁣
It is estimated that consumer products may emit equivalent amounts or even higher concentrations of VOCs than outdoor sources. Unfortunately, VOCs come with their own #health risks, even without reacting with other air pollutants outside. These gases cause eye and throat irritation, headaches, nausea, skin rashes, #dizziness, liver and kidney damage, and several types of cancer. ⁣
⁣
To reduce your current risk of high VOC exposure and work on improving the indoor air quality of your home, there are some precautions you can consider: ⁣
⁣
° Increase airflow throughout the home.⁣
° Buy most of the products listed above in quantities you will use right away .⁣
° Place more plants inside of your home⁣
° Try alternative insect-control techniques, such as integrated pest management, instead of pesticides⁣
° Reduce tobacco use⁣
° Never leave your car running in the garage⁣
° Minimize how often you dry clean your clothes⁣
° Follow directions on the labels extremely closely.⁣
