Not only is dancing a form of creative expression that can help build a person’s creativity and imagination, but it can also positively affect physical and mental health.

Old injuries and muscle adhesions can also contribute to poor posture. As the shoulder slump, the head moves forward of the body creating changes that cascade all the way down the body.

Although posture may seem difficult to fix and improve, there are many different methods and ways to help achieve good posture and balance.
Studies show that touch therapy is efficacious. Though, it is unclear how exactly it works. Many who practice touch therapy offer an explanation based on energy, which is sometimes referred to as chakra.

"[G]rounding is literally putting your bare feet on the ground. When you do that, you're in contact with the Earth, and mother Earth is endowed with electrons, and these electrons are literally absorbed through your feet. It's like taking handfuls of antioxidants, but you're getting it through your feet."
Grounding or earthing is defined as placing one's bare feet on the ground, whether it be dirt, grass, sand or unsealed, unpainted concrete (especially when humid or wet)
When you ground to the electron-enriched Earth, an improved balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems occurs.
Paying attention means watching and noticing without comment. It doesn't mean judging, criticizing, or feeling guilty. You are just seeing yourself as you are, observing your body, your mind, and your feelings, and how they interact with one another.
When you are mindful in this way you notice the ground beneath you as you walk, the sound of the birds, or the feel of the wind. You are in the present moment rather than lost in thoughts of the past or future.
"Life comes together when we seek out the sublime in the the ordinary"

Saturated fats and cholesterol have been a part of people’s diets since the beginning of time as they were acquired through animal fats. Healthfully sourced saturated fats are not harmful and are a necessity in everyone’s daily life.
Saturated fats found in well-sourced animal products are much easier for the body to break down, hold up better under heat, and are a better option for maintaining a healthy weight. Polyunsaturated fats found in nuts & seed oils do not hold up well under heat and create more free radical damage in the body, thereby creating more inflammation. While the oils in fatty fish are essential for brain and heart health, their oils go rancid easily and should be consumed from fresh sources, avoiding fish oils that tend to go rancid.

Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS) is a major cause of disease and dysfunction in modern society, accounting for at least 50% of chronic complaints, as confirmed by laboratory tests.
In LGS, the epithelium on the villi of the small intestine becomes inflamed and irritated, which allows metabolic and microbial toxins of the small intestines to flood into the bloodstream. This event compromises the liver, the lymphatic system, and the immune response including the endocrine system.

In a review of three studies of over 85,000 women and 42,000 men, individuals who consumed the most magnesium lowered their risk of developing diabetes by more than 30 percent during the next 12 to 18 years compared to those who consumed the least amount. The studies suggest that magnesium influences the action of insulin in the body. A lack of magnesium may worsen insulin resistance, triggering the onset of diabetes.
One of the complications of diabetes is peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is a result of nerve damage which often causes weakness, numbness, and pain, usually in your hands and feet.
The most common drug prescribed for people suffering from diabetic-related leg pain is Lyrica®. But it comes with a huge price.
Sometimes the answer could also be as simple as fixing a vitamin B1 or B6 deficiency. It all depends on what the person is low in.
The key to staying young lies within the cells. According to anti-aging doctor Al Sears, each cell has a set of “clocks' ' called telomeres. These are the vital end caps that seal off the tips of your cell's chromosomes to prevent DNA strands from unraveling. The shorter your telomere the “older” the cells. Slowing the loss of telomeres may extend lifespan and keep us feeling younger longer.
Suggestions for helping us reach a younger state of mind:
Challenge yourself to try new things
Bring attention repeatedly to the present moment. This keeps us from becoming lost in regrets of the past or imagining future deterioration
Develop a sense of meaning in life by focusing on something larger than yourself
Commit yourself to a hobby you love
“Obtaining a comprehensive thyroid panel is essential to rule out thyroid disorder as a possible cause of depression. The medical literature has discovered a link between low T3 and long-standing depression. In fact the common treatment of hypothyroidism with Synthroid (a T4-only thyroid medication) may be contributing to an increase in depressive symptoms due to its inability to address a deficient T3.”
