Learning to wear a #respie when out and about seems like a big ask… but once you get in the habit, you hardly think about it at all.

Prevention is still the best option. You’ll not miss your energy, tastebuds, ability to concentrate etc… until it is gone.

Fibermaxxing If you want to maximize your healthspan, fibre is your friend. In fact, new research shows that eating more fibre improves gut health and overall health, while increasing the number of disease free years you have as you age, roughly the equivalent of 9 extra healthy years!

Eating more soluble and insoluble fibre can extend your healthspan by as much as 9 years. Remember get your fibre from food and only plants contain fibre.

The immune system is not a muscle.

It is a cleansing fire.

It causes collateral damage.

It has a limited supply of fuel.

It can get out of control.

Don’t burn your whole house down every time by catching every disease without caution.

In 1921, they told Agnes Macphail her nomination was a mistake. That she should step aside and let a man do the job.

She refused.

She became the first woman elected to Canada's House of Commons. She helped build the movement that became the New Democratic Party. (1/2)

Tweet from Jerome Adams that reads, "Why do you care?  Honestly asking. I thought the original mantra was β€œto each their own.” It sounds like you’re wanting to impose your priorities/belief systems on others while saying they shouldn’t impose theirs on you? What am I missing?
