It’s my 43rd birthday, and I’m up at 4:30. Why so early? One of my 2021 New Year’s resolutions was to get up at the same time every morning. Sticking with it has led to the best sleep I’ve gotten…
What are the health benefits of beets? The extensive list includes positive impacts on: blood pressure and vascular function controlling diabetes and insulin homeostasis kidney dysfunction and an increase in a healthy microbiome. But answering the question, “What are the…

The question of what causes free radicals has received plenty of attention since Denham Harma first introduced the theory of them to scientific circles in 1956. Today’s post provides the proven answer that explains how the air we breathe also contributes to…

That’s right! When dissolved in water and used as a spray, ordinary aspirin can help you grow healthy plants resistant to the ravages of disease.
The fundamental answer to the question, “What are antioxidants good for?” is, “They’re good for donating an electron to a molecule that’s missing one.”
The air you breathe (oxygen and pollution included) and the foods you eat are what causes free radicals that significantly impact your bodily functions…
Oxidative stress… happens to us when too many Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) molecules disturb our cells’ proper functioning.
Sharing …a daily plant-based meal with those you love could put you on a new and… healthier trajectory. The benefits of family meals can’t be overestimated!
