Researchers Reveal Breakthrough Way To Naturally Decrease Cigarette Cravings
Smoking addiction is serious and difficult to overcome. Though the world has enjoyed a universal decrease in smoking rates in the past half-century, there are still around 40 million people in America who take part cigarette smoking. Many smokers desire nothing more than to kick the habit; most do, in fact, want to leave behind the harmful addiction for good. A minimum of 50% of all adult smokers have attempted to quit in the last year alone, but of those trying, half will relapse within a fortnight. Many people have attempted to find ways to reduce the severity of their cravings, with the knowledge of the high relapse rates. Some may indulge in harmful distractions, and not many have access to health resources to help them in their journey. Thankfully, science may have just found a way to help control these strong urges to smoke – and it’s probably simpler and stranger than you may think. New Research Reveals An Unusual Way To Naturally Decrease Cigarette Cravings The Unusual Way To Naturally Decrease Cigarette Cravings A study entitled “Pleasant Olfactory Cues Can Reduce Cigarette Craving,” published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology , and performed by the American Psychological Association, has revealed that positive smells and scents are effective at reducing cravings for cigarettes .

They also were not using other forms of nicotine delivery, such as vapes or gum. In total, there were 232 participants, who were all asked to bring a lighter and a pack of their chosen cigarettes. They were told not to smoke for eight hours before arriving for the experiment. […]

Top 5 Benefits of Meditation in the Workplace, According to Meditation Company Founder Dipanshu Sharma
The Positive Contributions of Meditation at Work, as Told by Dipanshu Sharma, and Why to Implement Regular Meditation 1. Meditation decreases stress and anxiety in the workplace 40% of working americans suffer Loneliness, Stress and Depression. A literature review conducted in 2014 assessed 47 mindfulness meditation trials that involved around 3,515 participants. The review concluded that meditation is a useful tool that helps relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression. And not only do meditators feel less stressed, their levels of the “stress hormone” cortisol decrease measurably. Stress has been linked to a wide range of medical problems, including hypertension, heart disease, substance abuse, anxiety, and depression. A study done at Stanford University School of Medicine shows that those who practice mindfulness meditation display a reduction in stress-related symptoms, and report increases in their sense of control in their lives. For instance, mindfulness meditation can produce a 30% reduction in symptoms of stress among those with a serious illness. Whether there are conflicts with coworkers or pressing deadlines, stress is not beneficial to a work environment. Stress is also linked to many health problems, including heart disease, depression and hypertension. By employing meditation techniques, employees will have clearer minds and be able to think more freely and creatively, making more positive contributions at work, said Dipanshu Sharma . 2. Meditation in the workplace helps foster relationships between coworkers “So many coworkers go about their day only seeing each other, but never interacting or bothering to learn about each other,” said Dipanshu Sharma. “Meditation provides a means for them to work together toward bettering themselves.” Coworker relationships contribute to a more happy and productive work environment. When people are able to unite over a common task, especially something they may be unfamiliar with, like meditation, they bond and will be able […]
The therapeutic benefits of reflexology for Parkinson’s
( Natural News ) Being diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease is akin to receiving a death sentence for most people. Barring the fact that many of these diseases are incurable, they also cause progressive degeneration and even death in brain neurons, which can’t be replaced by the body once they die or are damaged. Among these conditions, Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common, affecting nearly 60,000 Americans every year . Most conventional approaches to managing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease involve drug therapy; however, these are known to have adverse effects that impact a patient’s overall well-being. Levodopa, a prescription drug used for all stages of Parkinson’s, not only becomes less effective over time , but it can also result in developing involuntary movements (dyskinesia) and even impulsive and compulsive behavior. Fortunately, people with this debilitating condition can turn to reflexology to manage their symptoms , as it can bring the body to restorative balance, allowing it to heal by itself. Parkinson’s disease and reflexology Parkinson’s disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that occurs when the brain is unable to produce dopamine, which causes issues with movement. While most people know of the condition’s landmark symptom – uncontrollable trembling of the hands – Parkinson’s can progress to affect gait, motor function, and even speech. According to estimates from Parkinson’s Foundation, one million people in the U.S. will be suffering from Parkinson’s by 2020 – more than the number of people with multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease , and muscular dystrophy combined. Mother Nature’s micronutrient secret : Organic Broccoli Sprout Capsules now available, delivering 280mg of high-density nutrition, including the extraordinary "sulforaphane" and "glucosinolate" nutrients found only in cruciferous healing foods.

Diet hacks to make you a more productive entrepreneur
Being an entrepreneur is not easy and if you are reading this, then you probably do not need us to tell you that either. There’s just so much expectation around you and a bulk of those expectations possibly come from your own self, which is the reason why you have taken this route of building businesses and making them succeed in the first place, when you could have just settled for a 9-to-5 job like so many others at your school did. Unfortunately, there is a limit to what and how much we can do, and that limit was set by our genetics even before we came to know what the term actually meant. The good news is that if you are already into entrepreneurship, the required intelligence and abilities are there already. The only thing you need are a few hacks to make that intelligent brain of yours work to its full capacity every day, which is precisely what we are going to guide you with next. Maximize caffeine The modern world loves coffee and while most of us do not realize it, we are sincerely and practically addicted to the caffeine in it, rather than just being coffee connoisseurs! You probably already know and depend on your morning and evening cups of coffee heavily, but there are ways to maximize caffeine’s potentials to make you even more energetic, efficient and alert, without the jitters that come with having too much caffeine in your system. Go through the following few methods to understand what we are suggesting here. Take caffeine supplements in pill/capsule form to maximize the effects, while reducing the side effects. DO NOT take too much caffeine (more than 200mg – 250mg) at once, because it will shock your brain into counterproductivity. Caffeine is a slow […]
9 Wellness Factors That Directly Affect Beauty and Anti-Aging
Photo Credits: Westend61/ Getty Images | Image Used for Illustrative Purposes Only Large breasts, flawless skin and full lips may play leading roles in the modern-day beauty equation, but there is something deeper that transcends beyond what we see in the mirror: true beauty radiates from within. There is no denying that the most beautiful women in the world are far more than a product of external beauty. Inner spirit, positive emotions and healthy relationships produce a natural beauty that cannot be found in a bottle—even the most expensive treatments cannot conceal negativity, fear, anxiety or the emotional toll of a toxic relationship. Inner beauty is the secret that is often forgotten on the quest to remain forever young. Here, nine wellness elements that enhance inner beauty and reflect an all-natural glow. You May Also Like: NewBeauty 2019 Award Winners: Best Wellness Products Preventative health maintenance It may not sound as sexy as the latest and greatest facial rejuvenation procedure, but before making that Botox appointment, have we scheduled our yearly mammogram or seen our internist? External beauty means nothing if our internal organs are not well maintained. Poor nutrition, excess alcohol consumption , smoking or lack of exercise do not do a body good. Annual physical examinations—including age appropriate screening tests—are necessary to allow for early intervention and lifestyle adjustment to maintain quality health. Preventative health care not only saves lives, but it is vital to living life to the fullest and remaining young at heart both literally and figuratively. Exercise Movement is the key to health. It also contributes to happiness, weight loss, increased libido, brain function and memory. Regular exercise and strength training can boost circulation, improve bone density, increase energy levels and release endorphins, making us feel as good as our body looks! There are […]
What you should be eating and drinking to best prepare for GCSE, A Levels and exams
Find out how the new GCSE grading system will work in England It’s that time of year again, when the school and university students are preparing for their exams. Students will want to put themselves in the best possible position to get those grades by taking notes, revising and completing practice papers. But it’s not just about hitting the books or getting creative with post-it notes. What students eat and drink can make a difference too. So to help you out, we asked University of Sunderland lecturer in exercise physiology, Dr Paul Innerd for his views on the best nutrition to help see young people and students through exam season. What should students should eat and drink as they prepare for exam season? Dr Paul Innerd, The University of Sunderland (Image: University of Sunderland) Start with water. Make sure you get enough. You are roughly 70% water, so it’s important that you drink it. In fact, the brain is a mass of water, fat and some protein. Water allows brain functions to take place, such as thinking and memory. Berries such as blueberries are packed with antioxidants which are great for overall health and alertness. Studies have found that berries are brain boosters and improve brain function, memory and focus. Pop some berries on your cereal to give your health a kick. A Young’s Seafood salmon dish Fats are essential for good health and brain power. Fatty fish such as salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly one called DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). DHA forms a major building block of brain development in children. Make your peanut butter the natural sugar free variety and you’ll get the benefits of those essential fats. Nuts also contain protein which is the nutrient responsible for growth and development of the […]
Our guide to overcoming insomnia and sleeping straight through
If you’re struggling to get the required amount of shut-eye each night, these tips could come in handy We’ve all been there. Those nights when you simply cannot get to sleep. You try everything, from taking the covers off, to putting them back on again. Checking your phone in the hope a quick scan of the news pages might send you off when in reality all it serves to do is make you even more awake and alert. Even going as far as trying out old wives’ tales such as counting sheep (be honest, has that ever worked for anybody?), but nothing changes. You lie there, minute after minute, hour after hour, with your eyes wide open, until you inevitably drop off five minutes before your alarm is due to spark into action. From that point on, the day is simply one long struggle. Insomnia is no laughing matter. At least one in three people suffer with at least a mild form of the sleep disorder, of which there are two different types. Primary insomnia is when a person is experiencing sleep problems which are not directly associated with any other health condition, while secondary insomnia means a person’s sleep struggle is linked to something else, most commonly a health condition, medication they are taking or a substance they are using. The disorder varies in the length of time it lasts and the regularity with which it occurs. Short-term (acute) insomnia can affect people a few times per week, while long-term (chronic) insomnia is when a person suffers three times a week for three months or longer. A real nightmare (although you need to actually fall asleep to experience one of those). In terms of its causes, they differ depending on whether you are suffering with the acute or […]
Are You Nature Deficient?
by Hannah Aylward: How much time do you spend outside on a daily basis? Let’s break it down. Your average workday may look something like this: wake up, commute to work, sit at work for eight hours, commute home, and then spend the rest of the evening unwinding at home and preparing for the next weekday. You may not have thought of it in this way before, but that is a lot of time spent inside. Our bodies were designed to run, jump, and play. We intuitively crave movement. Before modern advances, if we had to get somewhere we walked. We know how important exercise is for our bodies and souls, but we often overlook the importance of actually spending time outside. When it comes to exercise, most of us try to make time to move, but we do it on a treadmill, in a classroom, or in a studio. We are still lacking that beautiful touch with nature. So why is spending time outdoors so important? For example, city dwellers have a higher risk for anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses than people living outside urban centers. Various studies have found that urban dwellers with little access to green spaces have a higher incidence of psychological problems. But get this — stress hormones decrease immediately after visiting natural environments. Isn’t that amazing? Plants give off airborne chemicals to protect themselves from insects. These chemicals are called phytoncides. Phytoncides have antibacterial and antifungal qualities. While we breathe in the fresh air outdoors, we take in these chemicals. Our human bodies respond to these by increasing the number and activity of a type of white blood cell called natural killer cells, or NK. These cells kill tumor- and virus-infected cells in our bodies. Talk about magic. So, exposure to forests […]
Are Your Ready to Introduce Nootropics into Your Life?
You may have already heard of nootropics, as they have been steadily growing in popularity for a number of years now. Lots of claims are made about nootropics, both for and against them. As always, working out what nootropics are capable of, what they do and what their limitations are is important if you are going to get the most out of them. But how is the beginner supposed to know where to begin with nootropics? It’s a jungle out there for the newbie, with different advice and conflicting information abound. This guide aims to arm the beginner with everything they need to know in order to dive into the world of nootropics. Are Your Ready to Introduce Nootropics into Your Life? photo from pexels.com What Are Nootropics? Nootropics are substances that are purported to offer various benefits for the user’s cognitive functioning. You can either take nootropics individually or in different combinations. These combinations are known as stacks. Stacks can deliver multiple nootropics in the form of a pill, a liquid or a capsule. There are numerous recommendations available online for different combinations that you can stack together, so you can experiment until you find one right for you. You can always customize it further if you want to. There are no dangerous interactions between known nootropics, but you should always do your research first. Nootropics are often known as ‘smart drugs’, although most users object to the term ‘drug’. However, this is an accurate description of what nootropics claim to be. Nootropics gained a boost in popularity since the movie Limitless, in which Bradley Cooper was able to unlock the full potential of his brain with a nootropic called NZT. Just like NZT from the movie Limitless , nootropics are purported to improve the functioning of the […]

Ñ If you’re like many people, you may have decided that you want to spend less time staring at your phone. It’s a good idea: An increasing body of evidence suggests that the time we spend on our smartphones is interfering with our sleep, self-esteem, relationships, memory, attention spans, creativity, productivity, and problem-solving and decision-making skills. But there is another reason for us to rethink our relationships with our devices. By chronically raising levels of cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, our phones may be threatening our health and shortening our lives. Until now, most discussions of phones’ biochemical effects have focused on dopamine, a brain chemical that helps us form habits — and addictions.

These Specially Formulated Nootropics Enhance Both Mind and Mood
Billions of dollars a year are spent on phones, computers, and other smart devices with the goal of increasing productivity. But more often than not, these devices end up becoming just another distraction. That’s because we fail to realize that our productivity problems usually stem not from a lack of time or technology, but rather from a lack of focus. And without focus, even the most advanced smart-phone might as well be a rock. But what if there was a tool that allowed us to improve our focus and unlock the potential of our minds? Well, that tool may exist in the form of Nootropics. Nootropics, also known as smart drugs, are substances specifically designed to boost cognitive function, particularly executive functions like memory, creativity, and motivation. While they’re certainly not yet at a Flowers For Algernon level of effectiveness, these brain boosting supplements have demonstrated great potential, and various companies are already marketing nootropics to people looking to gain a mental edge. And now a a company called ALTA is taking things to the next level with a special blend of nootropics which are not only specially formulated to enhance your brain’s focus and memorization skills, but also to enhance your overall mood .

Monkeys with human brain genes: has it crossed an ethical line?
Monkeys with human brain genes: has it crossed an ethical line? © Getty Images When it comes to gene editing, how far is too far? Chinese scientists have been pushing the boundaries, most recently by creating rhesus monkeys with a human brain gene linked to intelligence . This isn’t the first time that China’s gene-editing research has drawn criticism. In November 2018, He Jiankui of the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announced the birth of two babies altered with the gene-editing tool CRISPR to give them a natural resistance to HIV. In response, the Chinese government announced tighter regulations on gene editing in human subjects only three months later. In January 2019 came reports from the Institute of Neuroscience, Shanghai, of macaques cloned from a monkey lacking a gene controlling its sleep-wake cycle . With this gene disabled, the monkeys were predisposed to psychiatric disorders, and they displayed anxiety and ‘schizophrenia-like’ behaviours. Read more: Next came rhesus monkeys carrying a human gene for brain development, created by researchers at Kunming Institute of Zoology. These monkeys developed a better short-term memory than their non-altered peers, as well as showing a human-like slower brain development. Research on primates is highly regulated in the UK and Europe, and experiments on them must meet stringent welfare standards. Professor Julian Savulescu, Uehiro Chair in Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford, believes that these standards should be used as a guide for what can be considered ethical. “I think if those standards are being side-stepped, then that’s unethical,” he says. It is not the experiments themselves that could be considered unethical, Savulescu explains, but the way the test subjects are treated. “Is it unethical to make an animal more intelligent? Not in itself,” he says. “Already mice have been genetically modified […]
16 Little Things To Make Your Desk More Pleasant
Fotolia A severe lack of color. No natural light. Cold, hard surfaces. No, it’s not a prison cell. It’s the standard American office. If your workplace is still proudly displaying overhead fluorescent lights that totally kill your selfie game and miserable windowless offices, you’ll want to consider these 17 little things to make your desk more pleasant . Not to be dramatic, but the typical desk is a recipe for disaster. There’s the tendency to clutter, effects of excessive sitting , and, for a lot of us, the concern of getting too much screen time — something to really think about, considering most of us are in front of our computers and phones for the majority of the day. Meanwhile, you’re expected to produce high-quality work day in and day out. Yeah. Sure. No problem. In the words of Sue Ellen Crandell in Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead , "I’m right on top of that, Rose!" Some companies are trying to evolve with open office workspaces, and while we can applaud their good intentions, recent studies conducted by Harvard and the University of Sydney have already found they don’t really improve the situation. While the typical desk probably isn’t undergoing any huge makeovers in the near future, at the very least, you can try keeping these 17 little things nearby to help you feel better mentally and physically. 1. A Lamp Harsh fluorescent lights beating down on you for eight hours or more a day? Thanks but no. While fluorescent lights probably aren’t bad for your health (as many rumors suggest), they certainly aren’t fun to look at. Lamps are the perfect solution. Also, they’re pretty. 2. A Mini Christmas Tree If your office is OK with it, you might even consider putting that teeny tiny tree up […]
The Pleasure of Being Mediocre
Laura Lippman was raised to excel, which meant dropping sports in favor of school work. Decades later, she returned to the tennis court to conquer her fears once and for all. Getty I have no natural athletic ability, although I have always looked as if I might— tall, broad-shouldered, with muscular arms and legs. I run slowly, with an awkward gait. To say that I throw like a girl is unfair to girls everywhere. P.E. class, to me, was something created to jeopardize my precious 4.0 grade point average. (I managed to eke out an A-minus, thanks to written tests and the credit given merely for showing up and suiting up, which turned out to be a pretty useful life lesson.) I swam well enough to be a lifeguard, but not swiftly enough to be part of Baltimore’s ubiquitous swim team culture. I learned to ice skate, but only after two miserable years of walking on my ankles. We had a word for kids like me in the 1970s, a decidedly non-P.C. one, derived from the term “spasmodic.” I heard that word a lot. But when I was 14, I joined my mother for a tennis lesson and it looked, ever so briefly, as if I might have found a sport for which I had some aptitude. For a couple of weeks, we met with an instructor at the public courts near our house. The plan was for us to take lessons together, play together, improve together. Then my father put a stop to it. I was in an accelerated program at school that had a reputation for being difficult. He wanted me to focus on my studies. My mother continued her tennis lessons; her skills quickly outpaced mine, and she found a new partner. For the next 40-plus […]

Why Your Grandma Should Play Xbox
“You don’t still play a lot of those videogames, do you?” This was the question my grandfather asked me several weeks ago over dinner, quite literally out of the blue. As a child, both my cousins and I spent a lot of time at Grandma and Pop’s house, where we would often turn their finished basement in to an arena for Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart. My grandfather may not have necessarily came right out and said it, but you could hear the hint of disdain in his voice. What he wanted to say is, “Are you still playing games? What a waste of time.” Most gamers have had this conversation at one point or another, usually with a family member who’s out of touch with the hobby. As such, I don’t blame my grandfather for feeling the way he does. Plenty of people his age hold similar views, which really comes as no surprise. Mainstream media organizations love to weave stories of how the past time has led to an increase in violent tendencies from today’s youth or point the finger at them when discussing America’s obesity epidemic. More often than not, they are depicted as the epiphany of a waste of time and genuinely bad for you, so it is only natural that those outside of the gaming community think of them in a negative light. I find this to be especially sad though, because games also can be incredibly beneficial, especially for the older generation. It may be hard to imagine that there even exists this community of ancient gamers – those above the age of 63, but I assure you that they are real, and they are living richer, fuller lives as a result of their gaming habits. Over the years, videogames have been […]

Here’s the lowdown on swordfish and its health benefits
( Natural News ) Swordfish, which has a long, flat bill, is a type of oily fish. Swordfish provides many nutrients and health benefits . Eating swordfish can: Help improve your sleep quality – Swordfish contains high amounts of magnesium, which is a mineral that helps reduce sleep problems. This mineral has a soothing effect on the muscles and thus helps people get a good night’s sleep. It also improves both the duration and quality of sleep. Lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases – Swordfish is rich in B vitamins, such as B3, B6, B9, and B12. Vitamin B12 , also referred to as cobalamin, aids in blood formation and DNA synthesis. In addition, it helps in the production of energy and the formation of myelin, a fatty substance that forms a coating around the brain cells. The vitamin B3 or niacin in swordfish also helps increase the levels of good cholesterol and lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Help regulate blood pressure – As mentioned earlier, swordfish is a type of oily fish. It contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and omega-6, which helps fight inflammation and lowers high blood pressure . Reducing high blood pressure can reduce the strain on the cardiovascular system and lowers the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke. Omega-3 fatty acids also help prevent arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, certain types of cancer, and some mental health problems. In addition, these healthy fats help in memory retention and improve the cognitive performance of old people. Because the body does not produce omega-3 fatty acids, they must be obtained from foods. Provide good amounts of protein – You can get good amounts of protein and all the essential amino acids that help maintain an active […]
The Power Within by Corey Daniels book available for only $2.99
Mind has both conscious and subconscious halves. These are likened to a driver and the truck he drives. The driver plans the destination and observes road conditions, while the truck provides motive power. Your subconscious mind is like the truck and it only goes in the direction in which is a steered. This can be the road or off a cliff. Likewise, the consciousness paints a picture of what the world is and what your goals are and the subconscious acts on them through emotion, physical response and energy, whether these are correct, rational images or false negative ones. The subconscious is also like an emotional reservoir which your body and mind draw responses from to external stimuli.
The Power Within lays out a method of programming your subconscious and tapping into the Holy Spirit, God voice or what the Greeks called the daimon (godman).
