CBD Oil for Dogs: Everything You Need To Know
CBD oil for dogs? Yes – your fur babies can benefit from CBD oil in much the same way you do! You may be familiar with the natural wellness properties of CBD oil for yourself, but did you know that CBD supplements for dogs might also benefit your furry loved one? In our complete guide to CBD for dogs, you’ll learn about CBD and the types of CBD products available for dogs, how to give CBD products to your pet, and how CBD can improve your dog’s health and overall wellness. What is CBD? Cannabidiol or CBD is one of over 100 cannabinoids, naturally occurring compounds found in cannabis plants. CBD is found in significant levels in hemp, a type of cannabis plant. Unlike marijuana (hemp’s cousin), hemp is federally legal in the U.S. We’ve discovered how to extract CBD from hemp in order to make all-natural, non-intoxicating CBD products for both humans and their pets. Benefits of CBD Oil for Dogs With studies and anecdotal evidence continuing to reveal more exciting natural benefits of CBD oil for dogs, many pet owners have begun to incorporate CBD oil into their dog’s diets to promote general well being. This is because dogs, just like humans, have an endocannabinoid system that interacts with cannabinoids like CBD. The endocannabinoid system is a naturally occurring regulatory network responsible for maintaining homeostasis in the body’s many functions, some of which include appetite, sleep, immune response, and metabolism. All mammals, including dogs, have this endocannabinoid system that keeps systems in balance. It’s crucial that the system functions properly in order to maintain health and well being. While there are countless benefits of giving pets daily CBD , here’s a list of the top 5 reasons to try CBD for your dog: 1. Supports Healthy Joints […]
Recovery Workouts: Two Simple But Powerful Ways to Speed Fitness Recovery
0 Comments For my entire athletic career, I considered the gold standard of recovery to be sleeping, resting on the couch watching T.V., and generally being still and inactive. Come on, what could be more effective than couch potato mode to recover from the hormonal and inflammatory stresses of marathon training runs or long days of extreme swim-bike-run workouts? I’m kidding (mostly), but it’s not a total exaggeration. Our understanding of fitness recovery has grown exponentially since I was in the elite arena, and it’s exciting to see new and better approaches taking root that genuinely speed recovery and stave off burnout. I’m sharing two such techniques today. They’re simple, mostly free, and accessible to anyone with the most basic fitness opportunities and venues. Note: Here’s the thing…. This is the stuff you should focus on before considering advanced techniques like exposure to cold or heat, Theragun treatments (although I happen to be a fan of this device), hyperbaric oxygen chambers , etc. “JFW” The first recovery technique is to move more instead of just sit around. That’s right, science is validating the idea that if you make a concerted effort to increase all forms of general everyday movement in the hours and days after strenuous workouts, you will help minimize the inflammation and oxidative stress caused by strenuous workouts. Let’s call this strategy JFW—Just F—ing Walk. Moving your body through space helps you burn fat better, which will maximize the fat reduction goals of your workouts. Walking also helps boost brain function. A 2017 UCLA study comparing MRI scans revealed that active older folks (over 60 and walking more than three kilometers per day) have faster brain processing speed, better working memory for quick decisions, and better memory consolidation than inactive folks. In his book, The Real Happy […]
Not a Morning Person? Here are 17 Ways to Rise and Shine Every Day
Healthy Living Even if you’re not a morning person, adding these steps to your morning schedule will improve your mood, energy level and overall health. Photo: Shutterstock 6:00 a.m. — Stretch in bed Try this even before you open your eyes. Lift one arm and begin by stretching each finger, then your hand, then your wrist, and then your whole arm. Move on to the other arm. Then stretch your toes, feet, ankles, and legs. Finally, end with a neck and back stretch that propels you out of bed. You’ve just limbered up your muscles and joints and enhanced blood flow throughout your body, providing a shot of oxygen to all your tissues. Take up the entire length of the bed when you stretch. According to Harvard University psychologist Amy Cuddy, this “power pose” mimics the position of a bold person, making you feel more confident all day long. Photo: Shutterstock Open the blinds When natural light from the sunrise creeps into your bedroom, it signals your brain to slow its melatonin production and boost cortisol, both of which tell your body to wake up. A flood of sunshine isn’t just an instant morning pick-me-up: A Northwestern University study found that people exposed to moderately bright light in the morning have a significantly lower body mass index than people who get the majority of their light exposure later in the day. Did you know your body does these gross (but normal) things every morning ? Photo: Shutterstock Take a breather No matter when you do it, meditating has numerous benefits, such as fighting insomnia, reducing stress and anxiety , increasing energy levels, boosting your immune system, and providing mental clarity. Meditating in the morning helps you set a peaceful tone right off the bat so you are less likely […]
Worms are cool: They can regrow their brains if they lose their heads
( Natural News ) There are some animals that can grow back specific parts of their body when they have been cut off. Lizards, for example, are known for their ability to grow back their tails. However, experts have found something even more fascinating. New research published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B has revealed that some species of ribbon worms can re-grow their heads . Some species of worms can re-grow their heads, brains and all Researchers from different institutions collated information on 35 species of ribbon worms from the phylum Nemertea . From that roster, the researchers chose 22 species to investigate. The researchers then proceeded to cut off their heads and tails. Results showed that all 22 species could re-grow their tails. However, a few could also regenerate their entire heads. In another study published in the Journal of Experimental Biology , researchers from Tufts University found that planarian worms can also re-grow their heads. During the experiment, the researchers trained the worms to find food across a rough surface. They also measured how long it took for each worm to find food. Then, they decapitated the planarian worms. After two weeks, the researchers found that the worms regenerated their heads and even re-learned the ability to find food. (Related: Superhuman abilities: Scientists find link to worm DNA that could allow humans to regrow limbs. ) Other animals that are known to regenerate body parts Experts believe that re-growing body parts are an ancient trait that is passed on as species evolve. Many animals, not just worms, are known to re-grow lost body parts. Here are five more animals known for their incredible regenerative abilities.

Healthy and Vibrant — At Every Age
Nearly 8 in 10 women and 7 in 10 men in the U.S. take dietary supplements, says Trisha Sugarek MacDonald, BS, MS, sr. director of R&D/national educator, Bluebonnet Nutrition Corporation. Needs change throughout our lifespan, and while there’s no one-size-fits all approach (making it key that each individual consult a healthcare professional), we asked the experts to give an overview of some main concerns that affect both men and women throughout the years, and the nutritional support that can help keep us feeling forever young. For women Taking a broad look at what’s trending for women, Vincent Tricarico, VP, Contract Manufacturing, NutraScience Labs, notes: “With respect to women’s health, we’ve found that brand owners are focusing on creating high-quality sleep support products, stress reduction products, and formulations that address gut health. Additionally, we’ve noticed that beauty from within is a surging category right now—collagen is absolutely huge. We’ve also recently worked with a few high profile brands that have created new products intended to reduce bloating and boost metabolism.” Read on for a closer look at top interests and needs for women’s health. 20s and 30s “When women are young and in their 20s/30s, they are typically immersed in their education or in the early stages of their careers,” says Sugarek MacDonald. “These women are focused on being healthy, maintaining a healthy weight and some may even be considering starting a family.” In terms of supplements, she adds, these women may gravitate towards a daily multivitamin and mineral formula. Bluebonnet offers Ladies’ ONE Whole Food-Based Multiple, a one-a-day with coenzyme forms of the B vitamins, plus Albion chelated minerals, an organic whole food vegetable blend and a plant-sourced enzyme blend. The multiple also contains extracts from ashwagandha, red raspberry, cranberry, tart cherry, cinnamon and rose hips (to help address […]
Brain-Protecting Supplements To Stay Focused And Calm
Brain-protecting supplements are vital for your concentration and keeping calm. Have you ever experienced plunging levels of energy, happiness, and focus? Don’t worry, you’re not alone because this is a worldwide phenomenon that we’re about to help solve for you. You know those ‘off-days’ when you wake up feeling tired and distracted? Or the ones where you can’t face the gym or get out of bed? Yup, I know them too well. But it’s not always an option and you’ve got to push through those days sometimes. However, it can be pretty difficult when you’re struggling to focus, and on top of that stressed out. The problem with many supplements for reducing stress levels is that they can make you really sleepy. That just defeats the purpose of helping you concentrate on getting important tasks done. With so many responsibilities, to-do lists and stresses, coffee automatically becomes the go-to pick me up. Unfortunately, in the long term, this just makes you more exhausted. Things have to keep moving forward though. Sometimes looking at our diet, catching up on sleep or over-training and under-training is just not enough. It means you need to supplement a possible deficiency! Sadly, this is not a quick fix article but it is a step in the right direction. Fueling your body with the right nutrition is a massive factor, but it’s a lot more complicated than just calories in versus calories out. Nor is it just about getting enough sleep. If your hormones are out of alignment, it could be why you’re feeling fatigued and stressed. Too much caffeine also makes things worse. We all love a good cup now and then, but once you grow resistant to it it doesn’t work as well and can turn into an unhealthy habit. Having said that, […]
Skip the Sheep: Sleep Tips for Back to School
Sleep Tonight, Thrive Tomorrow Sleep deprivation. Droopy eyes at breakfast, the irresistible urge to roll over and snuggle back to sleep, mentally shaving items, compromising your day’s tasks, to make up for those additional delicious minutes of dream time. We’ve all experienced a sluggish morning, but for growing children and adolescents, it’s more than an annoyance to get out of bed without enough sleep, it’s detrimental to their health. With school just around the corner, it’s important your family focus on the benefits a healthy night’s sleep can provide. Help your kids sleep on a schedule. Here’s why. Your Child’s Brain on Sleep In the transitional years of late childhood and adolescence, your child’s brain benefits from plentiful NREM sleep—the deep sleep waves that cycle throughout the night as we sleep. While young children and babies need maximum hours of REM sleep to create neural pathways in their brain, NREM refines and individualizes the brain neurons developed in early life. Your Teen’s NREM Sleep Experience During mid to late childhood, the growing brain transitions from taking in a large amount of REM sleep, tipping the scales toward NREM as it reaches adolescence. Deep sleep increases as the brain’s neural network connectivity decreases, shifting from growing connections to shedding them, giving way to a more mature brain. NREM sleep is a key component for the transition into early adulthood. NREM coincides with the stage in an adolescent’s life where cognitive skills, reason, and critical thinking have more demand. The growing brain accepts new challenges in relation to the increase in NREM. The adolescent brain is typically less rational than an adults’ and has poorer decision-making skills. This can help explain the awkward transitions we sometimes see in adolescence. Developing a rational brain takes deep sleep. And lots of it. A […]
Eat more fruits: These 12 nutrition powerhouses are high in health benefits and low in calories
( Natural News ) Eating fruits offers tremendous health benefits — a fact supported by many studies. These are rich in vitamins and minerals, great for keeping diseases at bay, and have high levels of soluble and insoluble fiber, which improves digestion, increases satiety, and lowers cholesterol. But did you know that some fruits might be better than others, in terms of micronutrient content? Meet the 12 “powerhouse” fruits In a study published in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease , lead researcher Jennifer Di Noia ranked these “powerhouse” fruits according to their nutrient density and calorie content . Topping the list are lemons, followed by strawberries, oranges, limes, and grapefruit. This article will detail just some of the nutrients and health benefits you can get from these fruits. (h/t to MedicalNewsToday.com ) Lemons Calories per serving: 11 These yellow citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, and pectin. Lemons also contain compounds that have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants protect healthy cells from dangerous substances called free radicals, which makes them great for preventing cancer. Lemons also contain flavonoids which are believed to have antibacterial, anticancer, antidiabetic properties. Strawberries Calories per serving: 17 Although the fruit has the word “berry” in it, strawberries aren’t really berries — they’re considered an aggregate fruit.

Make dietary changes to manage your underactive thyroid naturally
( Natural News ) Hypothyroidism occurs when your body is unable to produce enough thyroid hormones. These hormones help control the body’s growth, repair, and metabolism. Hypothyroidism is often linked to symptoms such as fatigue and weight gain. If you have this thyroid condition, consider making dietary changes or take herbal remedies and supplements to manage your symptoms. Hypothyroidism affects at least one to two percent of people around the globe, but the condition is ten times more likely to affect women than men. What happens when you have hypothyroidism? The thyroid gland , a small, butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck, produces and stores thyroid hormones that affect almost all of the cells in your body . When the thyroid gland receives a signal called thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), it releases thyroid hormones into your bloodstream. This signal is sent by the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of your brain, when thyroid hormone levels are low. Sometimes, the thyroid gland doesn’t release thyroid hormones even when you have TSH. This condition is called primary hypothyroidism , the most common type of hypothyroidism. About 90 percent of primary hypothyroidism occurs because of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis , an autoimmune disease wherein the immune system attacks your thyroid gland by mistake. Primary hypothyroidism can also be caused by a genetic disorder, an iodine deficiency, taking certain medications, and surgery that removes part of the thyroid. If you have secondary hypothyroidism , your pituitary gland is unable to work properly. This condition occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t receive enough TSH.

Thrivous Upgrades Clarity with Bioavailable Vitamin B Complex
"I’m excited to announce Clarity formula 2," said Lincoln Cannon, CEO at Thrivous. "Thrivous has expanded its line of nootropics to offer superior supplementation strategies for some of the ingredients that were in Clarity formula 1. So now we can combine the nootropic benefits of Clarity’s main ingredients, Bacopa and Rhodiola, with the brain function support benefits of Vitamin B Complex." Guided by science, Thrivous identifies nootropics with the greatest potential to promote mental performance beyond what can be achieved through traditional lifestyle choices alone. Clarity contains ingredients at concentrations and amounts based on high levels of evidence for notable effect from peer-reviewed, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies on humans. Thrivous makes Clarity from substances in the human diet, including vitamins, minerals, and herbs. It does not contain substances derived from animals. All ingredients and capsules are vegan. Clarity now includes Vitamin B Complex to support brain function. Thrivous carefully selected bioavailable forms of the B Vitamins. For example, L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate is a B9 vitamer that may be more effective than typical Folic Acid, particularly for persons with the MTHFR gene mutation. Adenosylcobalamin and Methylcobalamin are B12 vitamers that may be more effective than Cyanocobalamin. And Sulbutiamine is a dimer of B1 that may traverse the blood-brain barrier better than other forms of Thiamin. Clarity continues to include Bacopa, Rhodiola, and Zinc, with clinical doses of their primary bioactive constituents. The recommended serving of two capsules provides 150 mg bacoside (from 600 mg of Bacopa Monnieri), 6 mg salidroside (from 300 mg of Rhodiola Rosea), and 11 mg of Zinc (100% of the daily recommended value). At these dosages, Bacopa may increase memory, Rhodiola may improve focus and mood, and Zinc may support mood. Thrivous publishes the Clarity formula openly and completely, and strives to improve the formula continuously. This contrasts sharply […]
The Doctor Prescribes: Sleep And Exercise – Here’s Why And How Much
Most of us would agree that sleep is important for everyone (of course), but especially for those of us who work out several times a week. There’s a big difference between a morning workout after a solid night’s rest and a workout where you’re running on fumes. No matter how many caffeinated gels you consume, it’s just not the same — and it’s not sustainable over time. If sleep is such a crucial part of fitness, why then is it usually the first thing that’s sacrificed when you have too much on your plate? Sleep is how training manifests itself in the body, but it’s often neglected to the detriment of fitness performance and results. Enough is enough. Dr. Meeta Singh has a thing or two to say about why athletes and avid exercisers need to prioritize sleep as much as their individual workouts. She specializes in sleep disorders, obstructive and central sleep apnea and, you guessed it, sports medicine. Singh has worked with athletes in the biggest sporting organizations in the world, including the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, and MLS, where she educates athletes about the importance of sleep and how to make informed sleep-friendly decisions. Here she breaks down everything from how lack of sleep impacts fitness performance, recovery and the results you get from working out and shares her go-to tips on how to improve your sleep quality and how to figure out your personal sleep need. Long story short, counting sheep should be prescribed daily on every athlete’s and exerciser’s training calendar. How does lack of sleep affect fitness And Performance? This list isn’t comprehensive since we’re learning more and more about how sleep affects every aspect of human performance. Because sleep is important for optimal reaction times, motor function, focus, motivation, glucose metabolism, memory […]
Mind over matter: How the brain says “no” to overeating
According to an interesting study conducted by researchers from The Rockefeller University , specific brain cells in mice curb their impulse to eat . These cells help regulate memory. They are also an integral part of a larger brain circuit that encourages balanced eating habits. The mental processes linked to feeding habits Food is essential for survival, and animals have evolved tough physiological systems that attract them to food. These systems ensure that animals keep coming back for more nourishment. Scientists have long considered feeding as a visceral and instinctive process. When animals see or smell an appetizing food, they will immediately consume it. But the results of this study imply that certain mental processes affect animals’ decisions to either eat or ignore food. To illustrate, a human may choose not to eat a snack because it’s almost time for their lunch break at work. While other mammals don’t have a similar internal monologue, researchers believe that eating habits are influenced by complex cognition. Other studies have found that defects in the hippocampus, a part of the brain linked to memory, can change feeding behavior. This hints that past experiences affect an animal’s attraction to food. Using data from this study, Estefania Azevedo, a postdoctoral associate from Rockefeller University , was able to identify a group of hippocampal cells called hD2R neurons . These neurons become active whenever a mouse is fed. The neurons respond to the presence of food by preventing animals from eating it.

6 Brain-Boosting Nootropics to Improve Productivity
Nootropics are the latest buzz word in the supplement industry. Even if you’ve never heard the term before, you’ve probably consumed at least one type of nootropic without even knowing it. Also known as “smart drugs,” nootropics are a class of chemicals – both natural and humanmade – that promise to give a cognitive boost. Here are six nootropics that you can use to boost your productivity today. 1. Caffeine The most common and popular nootropic on the planet. That morning cup of coffee – which usually turns into four or five cups – tricks your brain into feeling less tired by blocking adenosine receptors. Caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance on earth, and it’s not just found in coffee; you can also get caffeine from tea, cocoa, guarana, and kola nuts. 2. L-Theanine L-theanine is an amino acid that affects brain nerve impulses and the release of neurotransmitters like GABA . This amino acid is considered a nootropic because it has a unique effect on the brain: it acts as an anxiolytic. It means that it has a calming, soothing effect on the mind without making you feel drowsy. L-theanine is useful for people battling anxiety or sleep issues. You can supplement this amino acid, but you can also get it naturally from tea. 3. Aniracetam A humanmade nootropic, aniracetam acts as a cognitive enhancer and a stimulant. Its effects are similar to caffeine in that it can help you stay more awake and alert. It may also improve concentration and memory. This nootropic is sometimes used in the treatment of: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Alzheimer’s disease Anxiety Depression Sleep disorders Motion sickness A few clinical trials have shown that aniracetam may help manage autism, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sleep disorders, and ADHD. Supplement ingredient […]
Researchers enhance neuron recovery in rats after blood flow stalls
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine report in a new study that they found a way to help rats recover neurons in the brain’s center of learning and memory. They accomplished the feat by blocking a molecule that controls how efficiently genetic instructions are used to build proteins. If the approach described in the study can be applied to humans, it may one day help patients who’ve suffered a stroke, cardiac arrest or major blood loss and are thus at higher risk of memory loss. In the study, to be published online Aug. 19 in eNeuro , researchers induced extremely low blood pressure —as would happen when the heart stops beating—in rats. These rats lost neurons in a specific region of the hippocampus critical to learning and memory, but the researchers improved the animals’ recovery of the cells by injecting a molecule that blocks a microRNA: a short molecule that tweaks gene activation by preventing the conversion of genetic blueprints into proteins. Interestingly, the scientists found that a microRNA blockade potentially causes astrocytes—cells that support neurons and make up 50% of the cells in the brain—to turn into neurons. The findings demonstrate that neurons, with some assistance from their astrocyte neighbors, recover in a region of the hippocampus not known to have a local stem cell population that can replenish lost neurons. Enhancing this recovery in humans could help those who’ve suffered a temporary loss of blood flow to the brain. "There’s currently no treatment to improve brain function in patients with heavy blood loss, cardiac arrest or stroke," said Creed Stary, MD, Ph.D., assistant professor of anesthesiology, perioperative and pain medicine. "This is the first study to show that the natural process of post-injury hippocampal recovery can be substantially improved with a […]

7 Surprising Health Benefits of the Ketogenic Diet (Besides Losing Weight)
It’s impossible to take a step into the world of health and fitness without hearing about the keto diet. It’s made big waves all around the world. It’s introduced us all to the idea of ketosis and how it helps people lose weight in a whole new way. But what else is there to this popular dietary regimen? What are the other health benefits of the ketogenic diet? Is there more to this diet than losing weight? The answers may surprise you! Keep reading to find out more. Reduces Frequency of Seizures One of the biggest ketogenic diet benefits is for those who suffer from epileptic seizures. About 70% of people use anti-epileptic drugs to help control their seizures, but what about those who can’t use those drugs? Or what about people who prefer to live a more natural life without heavy medication? That’s where the keto diet comes into play. Keto was first used years ago for the treatment of children with epilepsy, and now it’s used to help people all around the world. The act of using ketosis to burn energy works is what makes the seizures far easier to control. In the past, the main focus has been upon children with epilepsy. But now that keto is so mainstream, it’s something people of all age groups can utilize in their lives. If you suffer from epilepsy, make sure to learn more about the diet and how it helps against seizures. Lessens Internal Acidity If you often have trouble with heartburn or acid reflux after a meal, the keto diet could be the answer you’ve been looking for. Many foods based on grains or rich in carbs are the cause of high acidity within the body. But with keto, you cut out those foods. Instead, you focus […]
Eating 2 Spoons of This Food Every Day Could Ward Off Dementia, Study Suggests
Age-related mental decline is a problem that can be life-altering, but it’s never too late to start making small changes that can help keep your brain cells safe. In fact, new research suggests that adding in one tasty snack to your daily routine can make all the difference in helping you protect your brain and ward off diseases like dementia. Macadamia nuts, pistachio nuts , brazil nuts — we love them all. And researchers from the University of South Australia have found that adding just two teaspoons (10 grams) of nuts to your daily diet might be all you need to protect and even enhance your mental functioning. The study analyzed data from 4,822 Chinese adults aged 55 years and older over a 15-year period. According to their observations, the simple addition of two teaspoons of nuts to the participants’ diet was associated with improved thinking, reasoning, and memory. Lead researcher of the study, Dr. Ming Li said, “By eating more than 10 grams of nuts per day older people could improve their cognitive function by up to 60 percent compared to those not eating nuts. This can effectively [ward] off what would normally be experienced as a natural two-year cognition decline.” Considering that the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the current amount of people living with dementia globally is 47 million, these findings are pretty exciting! So what type of nuts, exactly? Well, in this research, most of the participants consumed peanuts, and they were prepared in different ways: raw, fried, and roasted. Other nuts consumed included walnuts , chestnuts, pine nuts, almonds, and hazelnuts. But Dr. Li suggests that the type of nut isn’t actually so important. Instead, she claims focusing on nuts locally to you can help to improve brain health. “China is such a […]
Doodling at work could help you be more productive
The next time you’re stuck on a project, stymied by a problem, or just stressed out at work, you might want to break out a pen and paper and start doodling. Research shows those random shapes, lines, and figures scrawled on the margins can help memory and cognition, boost creativity, and even just help us relax. In the last decade, those benefits have spurred a growing interest in more sophisticated forms of the practice in classrooms and workplaces. Sketchnoting , graphic recording , infodoodling, and other visual thinking applications, which combine words, pictures, symbols, and sketches, all aim to help people process information in a similar way to doodling. “It’s such a simple tool,” says Sunni Brown, author of The Doodle Revolution , which documents the benefits of doodling and visual language, “but it has so many implications and so many areas where it makes a real difference for people.” From the earliest age, we’re taught to sit at attention when someone is speaking to us. Scribbling random pictures in our notebooks has long been considered rude or disrespectful—just ask your middle-school history teacher.
