Having an optimistic mindset creates room for AMAZING health benefits! 💖
There is a field of research called psychoneuroimmunology. What this means: pyscho (mental)-neuro (nervous system)-immunology (immune system). 👍 The field of research has uncovered some of the mysteries of how these systems work together! Effects of having a positive outlook can create a better natural killer cell activity (NK cells keep cancer in check and help you fight infections), have better ratios of helpers to suppressor T-cells (T-cells tipped out of balance means autoimmunity), and is shown to create better gut health due to the increased slgA function! ❤
⭐We understand that maintaining a positive attitude can be a challenge for those who are sick. Here are some ways to improve you mental outlook:
- Volunteer
- Write and send thank you cards
- Meditate
- Practice gratitude
- Random acts of kindness
Always look for the silver lining! There is always room for more positivity! ❤ ... See MoreSee Less

Is someone you love in complete denial over their unhealthy lifestyle habits?😢
Consider this: You are entering a new relationship and notice that you're misaligned when it comes to your health practices. Having different levels of concern about wellness can lead to tension and stress in a relationship. It's not easy to watch someone you love disregard their physical and mental well-being day in and day out. It can even feel a bit frightening knowing that your partner's life now or in the future might be fraught with illness or suffering. So what do you say to this other person you care so much about? ❤
If making "gentle nudges" like encouraging the person to help you cook or exercise with you do not work (or are met with hostility), here are some suggestions for what to say next:
- Try saying, "I love you, and I'm very scared that you might get sick or—if worse comes to worst—that I will lose you. It can be really devastating to see you (eating poorly, ignoring exercise, or state what the unhealthy habit is)."
"I want you to not only think about how this is impacting you, but how it impacts me and our children."
"I need to know that you care enough about me to do what you need to do to stay healthy."
