Instead of using these chemical filled air fresheners, try a diffuser with essential oils!

If you are at home you can also try boiling a quill or two of cinnamon on the stove, which will make your place smell amazing. This will leave you with a delicious, homemade cinnamon tea to drink!

Yoga May Help Kids’ Mental, Physical Health

Millions of people practice yoga as a way to stay fit and relaxed, but this ancient exercise could also help children battling health issues, such as chronic headaches and attention deficit disorder.

Aaron Schaefer spent years battling debilitating migraines caused by stress. Since starting a yoga class, the headaches are gone.

“When I started taking that, it was like a cure from heaven,” said Schaefer.

Researchers at Duke University are studying whether a program that combines yoga and other therapies can help children’s mental and physical health.

“It calms you down. It relaxes your body. It lowers your heart rate. It lowers your respiration, and in general, it reduces the effects of stress on your body,” said Dr. Murali Doraiswamy, a professor of psychiatry.

Doraiswamy says these relaxation responses can help mild depression and sleep disorders. Yoga may also provide additional benefits for people with schizophrenia and ADHD when combined with standard drugs.

“The benefits were of the same magnitude of the benefits we see with psychiatric medications,” said Doraiswamy.

Previous studies have shown yoga-based techniques can help individuals cope with anxiety, stress and low mood. Researchers are also studying whether these methods can be adapted for children and teens.

thegreenveganchick:

One of the most common misconceptions is that one must eat animal products, such as meat, eggs and dairy, in order to get protein. If you are eating a plant food diet, you’re probably used to non-vegans asking you where do you get your protein on a plant based diet.

High-protein diets, in general, cause premature aging, disease and shorter lifespans in humans and other animals, so I would not recommend anyone to eat a lot of protein. High-carb / low-protein vegan diets, on the other hand, are associated with health and longevity.

As a matter of fact, we have zero dietary requirements for animal protein. Animal protein is one of the worst things a human could eat. Animal protein is also the main cause of cancer and osteoporosis.

Protein in Plant Foods:

Most green leafy veggies have from 10-15% to 25-30% protein. Some greens have even more protein. Brussels sprouts, watercress, kale, broccoli, Romaine lettuce and other types of lettuce, spinach, asparagus, collard greens, mustard greens, cauliflowers, parsley, okra, chicory, cilantro, alfalfa, etc. are some of the best protein sources among green leafy veggies. Not only they are great sources of protein, but they are also excellent sources of calcium.
