Catching some early rays can boost your mood and improve your sleep. 🛌 It's true! Morning sunlight helps regulate our body's internal clock (Circadian Rhythm), making it easier to wake up and feel energized. 💪
But wait, there's more! 🌟 Sunlight is also a natural source of Vitamin D, essential for strong bones and a healthy immune system. 🦴
Here are a few tips for soaking up the sun safely:
- Aim for 10-15 minutes of morning sunlight. ⏰
- Do this before 10 AM
- Always be sun safe, especially if you have sensitive skin, wear a hat or light clothing to cover up. 🧢👕
Remember, a little sun goes a long way! Enjoy the glow and have a fabulous day!

This isn't a new level in your favorite game, but the idea of making direct contact with Earth's surface by walking barefoot. Sound crazy? Maybe, but it's also claimed to offer some solid buffs for your health:
1️⃣ Improved Balance and Posture: Just like mastering your gaming skills, walking barefoot enhances sensory feedback from your feet to your brain, boosting your stability and posture.
2️⃣ Better Foot Mechanics: Forget about those ill-fitting shoes, promote natural foot mechanics and toe alignment just by going barefoot - spread those toes!
3️⃣ Stress Relief: Walking barefoot can be a real-life tranquillity potion, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.
4️⃣ Improved Sleep: Some research points to better sleep!
However, every quest has its perils:
❌ Injury: Just like any real-life adventure, going barefoot comes with the risk of physical harm like cuts or scrapes, especially in urban environments.
❌ Infections: Beware of status effects! Walking barefoot might increase the risk of fungal, bacterial, or viral infections.
❌ Parasites: Just like some pesky in-game enemies, some parasites love to hitch a ride when you're walking barefoot in certain areas.
Remember, whether you get the health XP from walking barefoot depends on your environment and how often you do it. And, like any good strategy, always consult with your healer (healthcare provider) before making any significant changes to your routine.
So, how about levelling up your day with a barefoot walk in the morning sun to energize for the day? 🌅💪

There's a morning ritual that might just transform your health routine - and it's as simple as swishing coconut oil in your mouth! it's a practice steeped in ancient wisdom that promises a fresher, more vibrant start to your day.
Here's why you should join the oil pulling revolution each morning:
🦷 Boost Oral Health: Coconut oil has natural antibacterial properties that could help reduce harmful bacteria and plaque in the mouth, leading to stronger teeth and healthier gums.
🫃🏼 Assist in Weight Loss: Starting your day with coconut oil can kickstart your metabolism. The medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) in coconut oil are known for boosting metabolic rate, which could help with weight management.
🔋 Energy Kick without Caffeine: Feel the natural boost in your energy levels as your body absorbs the goodness of coconut oil without the need for that morning cuppa!
So, how do you oil pull?
1️⃣ Just take a tablespoon of coconut oil
2️⃣ Swish it around in your mouth for 15-20 minutes
3️⃣ Spit it out (in the trash, not the sink to avoid clogging)
4️⃣ Rinse well, and brush your teeth
Let's make our mornings count with a routine that's as nurturing as the first light of day. Give oil pulling a try and tell us about your experiences.

☕ Coffee or Tea
|
🚫
|
90min after waking |
|
🚫 Dont have Tea or Coffee within 90 minutes of waking and a few hours before or after your meals.
1️⃣ Cortisol Levels Peak in the Morning:
Our body naturally produces more cortisol, the “awake” hormone, in the morning. Consuming caffeine (from tea or coffee) when cortisol is high can make caffeine less effective and might lead to increased tolerance over time and potentially leading to poorer sleep quality and difficulty waking up in the future.
Instead, in the morning, have filtered water with a pinch of Sea Salt and a Squeeze of Lemon, and wait 90 minutes after waking before having a Tea or Coffee.
2️⃣ Coffee and Tea have effects on nutrient absorption! 🤓💡
Why It Happens:
Both coffee and tea contain caffeine and other compounds like tannins. These can:
🔗 Bind to certain minerals (like iron and calcium), preventing your body from using them.
💧 Act as diuretics, leading to increased excretion of water-soluble vitamins (like B-vitamins and vitamin C).
Issues with Coffee:
☕️ Increased calcium excretion with each cup.
🚫 Potential depletion of B-vitamins due to diuretic effect.
🧲 Magnesium absorption may be hindered.
Issues with Tea:
🍵 Iron absorption is notably affected, especially with green tea.
🔒 May impact calcium utilization.
🌀 Some teas can lower the concentration of certain vitamins.
How to Avoid This:
⏰ Enjoy your coffee or tea a few hours before or after your meals to prevent interference with nutrient absorption.
🍊 Consider adding a vitamin C source to your meals to enhance iron absorption.
🥤 Stay hydrated to counteract the diuretic effects.
🍵 Moderation is key, and in some cases, reducing or even stopping the consumption of coffee or tea may be beneficial.
Remember, balance is key! Adjusting when you indulge just slightly can lead to health rewards. 🌞🌿
