Your resting heart rate is one factor used to identify potential health conditions and gauge the health of your heart; by maintaining your resting rate from 60 to100 beats per minute you lower your risk of cardiovascular disease and improve your overall health.
When a healthy demand is placed on your heart muscle it grows stronger, but an unhealthy demand may increase the risk the muscle will weaken.
A healthy nutritional intake has a positive impact on your heart health and resting heart rate; conversely, nicotine and alcohol intake will negatively affect your heart health.
Aerobic exercise is a stress reducing activity, as is yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi; Buteyko breathing improves your oxygenation and reduces stress, while Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) help reduce stress and improve your weight loss efforts.

(Unfortunately the article this originally linked to is not longer available, so here’s the gist of it.)
Definition of Triage: Medical screening of patients to determine their relative priority for treatment: the separation of a large number of casualties, in military or civilian disaster medical care, into three groups:
1) those who cannot be expected to survive even with treatment;
2) those who will recover without treatment;
3) the highest priority group, those who will not survive without treatment.
I read a very interesting article some time ago that talked about the body doing a triage function on nutrients. Summarized, if you feed it too few nutrients it does not reduce the nutrients needed to fuel basic functions like the heart, lungs and brain, it defers things like cellular repair (like cancer fighting) until the nutrient levels improve. Unfortunately, with most people, they don’t improve their nutrition so we suffer for it and die earlier than we need to.
This is absolutely HUGE! This is the evidence I needed to support the nutrition philosophy I have incorporated into my daily dietary routine for the last decade. I have had people look bug-eyed at the 30 odd supplements I take with breakfast and ask if I notice any difference in taking them. When I say no they ask why I still take them. Well, this is why. If you are noticing a difference in the way you feel with what you eat you are WAY undernourished! Your body has been “running on empty” for way too long!

This is EXACTLY what happened with the No Jab No Pay Senate hearing – thousands wrote in opposition to the legislation including medical bodies-but it was predetermined that Parliament would vote the way their pHarmaceutical masters had told them to vote – regardless of the will of the people.
About 90 percent of rainwater samples collected from the Denver-Boulder area of Colorado contained microplastics. Microplastics have invaded nearly every part of the environment.

Hi Tom,
It’s been more than 2 years since we hit the road to create this documentary…
…and we’re finally ready to release it into the world.
Grow Food follows the inspiring story of Jim who left a “safe” yet unfulfilling career cleaning pools to pursue something more meaningful.
He became a farmer.
With literally no experience growing food, and no land to grow it on, Jim began hanging signs around town looking for people willing to transform their front lawns into vegetable gardens.
We follow the ups and downs of his incredible journey. We get to experience his struggles and his wins.
We also visited experienced farmers and growers across the country who are truly making a difference in their communities, and are a part of the larger solution worldwide.
What we learned from these leaders was invaluable.
We’re so excited to bring this feature documentary to you, our Human Longevity Project tribe for free.
So without further ado… click here to watch Grow Food! https://growfoodfilm.com/order-nbgf/
There is a lot of philosophical truth behind the good Chief’s words. It is true that you do not fear that which you can confront and with which you can communicate.
The job of the media is to make it all so bad over there that you cannot confront or communicate with it. But that just drags us downscale.
Why is the suicide rate going markedly up? Lack of confront and ability to communicate. So, face up and speak out!
