The premise of an alkaline diet is that the nutrients found in supplements, alkalizing foods, and water can bring the body back to balance. These vitamins, minerals, and herbs infuse the body with new energy, vitality, and better health. Alkaline foods and water must be consumed in order to provide nutrients the body needs to neutralize acids and toxins in the blood, lymph, tissues, and cells. When pH balance inside the body is out of balance the body tries to correct that sensitive pH balance. That process shows up as uncomfortable symptoms, including colds, flues, allergies, diseases, viruses, and bacteria. When the pH level in our body is unbalanced, almost any area of the body can be affected. For example when the nervous system is effected as the result of unbalanced pH balance it shows up in the form of the depression. When cardiovascular system is effected we could have heart disease or experience other heart-related problems, including thickening and hardening of the arteries, ...

Today turned out to be one of those textbook beautiful days. The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing softly and the temperature is just right — the perfect day. Even with all the challenges I have to face, I still look up at the sky and smile as the clouds chase one another across a “picture-perfect”, blue background. But I know that all the days to come will not be as beautiful and comfortable as this day is. Yesterday was dark and dreary, pierced with giant streaks of lightning, which generated thunder that rattled the windows. Yes, I know that all the days that follow today will not be as bright as this one, nor as dark as yesterday. Some days will be better than others. Some will be worse. And I do not know which ones will or won’t. But this one thing I know: There will be change. There will be ups and there will be downs. That’s how life is — there are good times and not so good times. The good times will not last forever. Every now and then, there will be rough times. But remem...

But when you stepped back—not out of anger, but out of clarity—everything shifted. In this video, we’ll break down what really happens when a grounded, Stoic man walks away without drama or explanation. This isn’t about revenge. It’s about realignment. It’s about choosing peace over performance, and silence over chasing. You’ll discover: Why disappearing calmly creates the deepest emotional impact How your silence becomes the loudest message What happens in her mind when the man she took for granted is suddenly gone How to protect your peace, build your life, and become unforgettable—not because you forced it, but because you embodied it Remember this: A Stoic man doesn’t chase validation. He builds value. And sometimes the most powerful move isn’t to argue for your worth—it’s to leave quietly and let your absence speak. Sto...

Amazon.com Review With so much attention paid to maintaining optimal health these days, the distinguished list of "alternative"medicines now includes homeopathy. In The Complete Family Guide to Homeopathy, author Christopher Hammond tells us that "Homeopathy does not have treatments for diseases. It has remedies for people with diseases." Different from the conventional, allopathic approach, homeopathy offers the opposite method of treatment. Natural substances trigger the symptoms of the disorder or disease; therefore, remedies "work at the level of energy and not of matter." The resource covers homeopathy's fascinating history--it was developed at the end of the 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, a German doctor--in the first section. Names and sources of homeopathic remedies follow. Section 3 offers remedy charts with instructions on how to observe the symptoms of a case, take notes, and choose a remedy, and what results and reactions to expect. An e...

1. "Everything in life happens for me, not to me." Shift from a victim mindset to a growth mindset by seeing challenges as opportunities. 2. "I am in control of my thoughts, actions, and reactions." Take responsibility for your life and focus on what you can control 3. "Small daily improvements lead to massive success over time." Consistency beats intensity; progress compounds. 4. "Failure is not the opposite of success: it's part of success." Embrace mistakes as learning experiences instead of setbacks. 5. "I attract what I focus on, so i choose to focus on the positive." Your thoughts shape your reality; cultivate optimism. 6. "My past does not define me, my present actions do." Let go of past regrets and build the future you desire.

Some people spend their entire life chasing shadows never realizing that they are the light that casts the shadow... ~ atomio ↡ sharing is caring...

A public face, a hidden mind, We wear our masks for all to find.  To shield our pain, to play a part,  A sculpted smile, a guarded heart. Behind the guise, the truth unseen,  A silent struggle, sharp and keen.  But whispered hopes, a fragile plea,  Long for the moment to be free. ~ atomio  ↡ sharing is caring...
