We're going to talk about the importance of breathing in wellness and we'll discuss an elephant in some folk's living room---bad breath! Specifically when someone's breath smells like sewer.

Breathing is the process of moving air in and out of the lungs. It involves the contraction and relaxation of various muscles and structures within the respiratory system.

T2D is a significant global health issue, affecting more than 400 million people worldwide. The condition is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and blindness, among other complications.

While there is no cure for T2D, research has shown that lifestyle changes and medication can help manage the condition, reduce complications, and even reverse the disease. Here are twenty ways to lower glucose without surgery and reverse T2D, based on the latest studies and research:

Weight loss:

Exercise:

Dietary changes:

The gut microbiome, which consists of trillions of microorganisms residing in our digestive tract, has been found to play a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels. Studies have shown that imbalances in the gut microbiome, such as a lack of beneficial bacteria or an overgrowth of harmful bacteria, can contribute to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (1).

One way to improve the health of the gut microbiome is through diet. Foods that are high in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, have been found to promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and improve blood sugar control (2). Probiotic-rich foods, such as yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables, can also help to increase the diversity and abundance of beneficial gut bacteria (3).

In addition, prebiotic foods, such as onions, garlic, leeks, asparagus, and bananas, can serve as food sources for the beneficial gut bacteria, promoting their growth and activity (4).

Here is a tasty recipe that incorporates some of these gut-healthy foods:

Rainbow Quinoa Salad

Ingredients:

1 cup cooked quinoa

1/2 cup diced red bell pepper

1/2 cup diced yellow bell pepper

1/2 cup diced cucumber

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, bell peppers, cucumber, red onion, parsley, and mint.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.

Top with crumbled feta cheese and serve.

Sleep: Sleep deprivation has been linked to insulin resistance and T2D. A study found that getting at least seven hours of sleep per night reduced the risk of developing T2D (7).

Vitamin D: Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to insulin resistance and T2D. A study found that supplementation with vitamin D improved insulin sensitivity and glucose control in patients with T2D (8).

Quit smoking

Fiber intake

Green tea

Cinnamon:

Gloria came from a broken family. Her parents separated when she was 5 and she grew up in a daycare center from the age of 2-9. Due to abandonment issues and feeling unloved and unlovable, she went through the first 40-something years lacking confidence in herself based on self-limiting beliefs. She didn't feel worthy or deserving of having the best for herself and wasn't aware of it because it was caused by subconscious beliefs. She was feeding herself lies about her worth. She knew she had a passion for performing and has been on stage since she was 9 years old. She managed to succeed as a singer/dancer, but underneath it all, she never felt good enough and would constantly compare herself with others. It wasn't until she went through a very painful breakup in her late 40s that she started being ultra-introspective and began the process of self-awareness. With New Age teachers like Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Mary Morrissey, Gabby Bernstein, and a host of other influences, Gloria discovered that there's more to us than just our physical selves and that we are not what we see in the mirror. "We have the power to create magnificent lives if we tap inward for answers and guidance." Being that she gets to live a life she loves as a performer and has learned so much about facing her fears, how the Universe operates, and how much we all deserve to live our best lives, it's now her mission to inspire, encourage and guide people to their healthiest, most purposeful, fulfilling lives.

What have researchers learned about dreams?“Everyone dreams,” says The World Book Encyclopedia (1984, Vol. 5, p. 279). “Most adults dream for about 100 minutes during eight hours of sleep.” So dreams are a normal human experience. Said Dr. Allan Hobson, of Harvard Medical School: “They are ambiguous stimuli which can be interpreted in any way a therapist is predisposed to. But their meaning is in the eye of the beholder—not in the dream itself.”When reporting this, the “Science Times” section of The New York Times added: “Within the school that places great value on dreams, there are many approaches to finding the psychological message of a dream, each reflecting different theoretical outlooks. A Freudian will find one kind of meaning in a dream, while a Jungian will find another, and a Gestalt therapist will find still another meaning. . . . But the view that dreams have psychological meaning at all has come under strong attack from neuroscientists.”—July 10, 1984, p. C12.

1. Dreaming is most common in the morning. You might find you remember your dreams better just after awakening in the morning. This is because you spend more time in the REM stage of sleep right before waking, leading to vivid and longer dreams. It’s possible to have dreams during the deep sleep common throughout the night, but they’ll likely be a little harder to remember once you wake up hours later.

2. Less stress leads to better dreams. Stress and other negative emotions lead to problems like depression, high blood pressure, and bad dreams, too. If you notice yourself only having negative dreams or even nightmares, consider seeking mental health care to see if there might be an underlying issue you need to resolve. Once you achieve a greater sense of inner tranquility, you’ll likely have better types of dreams, too.

3. Memories inform your dreams. Waking life experiences seep into your subconscious, laying the foundation for your future dreams. Some neuroscience professionals believe short-term to long-term memory consolidation happens during the dreaming process. Others insist dreams are a way the brain prepares human beings to handle future events as well.

4. Men and women dream differently. While everyone can dream about all sorts of different things, there are some core differences in common dream themes between men and women. For instance, men dream more often about having to act aggressively, while women tend to have dreams about hard conversations or experiencing rejection.

5. Negative dreams are more common. Bad dreams are unfortunately far more common than good ones for most people. This is partially due to the amount of stress many experiences in their daily lives. This might be because of the neurons and neurotransmitters flooding in and out of the amygdala (the fear center of the brain) often during sleep. Some sleep doctors use antidepressants or forms of sleep medicine to help treat nightmare disorders of this variety.

6. Part of your brain shuts down while you dream. The prefrontal cortex—or the part of the brain that makes sense of the wide array of stimuli you encounter while awake—shuts down while you dream. This leads to dreams taking on their bizarre and sometimes nonsensical quality, as you lose out on the ability to sift through your brain activity rationally.

Indira Safadid-Bertarioni is a conversation moderator who holds a Masters degree in Mental Health. She is a trained professional who helps people engage in productive and meaningful conversations, particularly around mental health and wellness.

In today's world, where we are often isolated and disconnected from others, open conversation is more important than ever. Meaningful conversations can help break down barriers and foster connections, creating a sense of community and support. By having open and honest conversations, we can learn from one another, gain new perspectives, and build empathy and understanding.

Here are five surprising health benefits you can gain from meaningful conversations:

1. Reduced Stress: Engaging in meaningful conversations can help reduce stress levels by providing a safe space to share thoughts and feelings. This can lead to a decrease in cortisol (stress hormone) levels in the body.

2. Improved Immune System: Positive social interactions and social support have been shown to improve immune system function. Meaningful conversations with loved ones can help strengthen the immune system and increase overall well-being.

3. Better Cognitive Function: Meaningful conversations require active listening, critical thinking, and mental flexibility. This can help keep the brain sharp and improve cognitive function.

4. Increased Happiness: Meaningful conversations can lead to increased feelings of happiness and fulfillment. Connecting with others on a deeper level can provide a sense of purpose and belonging.

5. Lower Risk of Mental Health Problems: Social support and positive social interactions have been linked to a lower risk of depression and anxiety. Engaging in meaningful conversations with loved ones can help protect against mental health problems and promote well-being.

In conclusion, engaging in meaningful conversations with others can have a significant impact on our mental and physical health. Indira Safadid-Bertarioni is an experienced conversation moderator who can help individuals and groups engage in productive and meaningful conversations, fostering understanding, empathy, and community.

Loving people and partnering with them to get healthy is who Leslie is. She had a very long career as a physician assistant, mostly in primary care and women's health, ending up with working in gastrointestinal medicine and food intolerances. It was very satisfying to find the reasons for people's symptoms, but it was a lot about prescribing more and more drugs. She had very little success in helping people lose weight and change their lifestyle, even though that was her goal.  In 2012, Leslie found a program that really WORKED, and had both the science and the behavioral component she was looking for. She lost weight easily, changed some bad habits, and has kept her weight off for 11 years! Now operating out of her strengths and passion, Leslie has helped hundreds of people recover health, confidence, and joy.  She wants to help people get free from yo-yo dieting forever.

Learn how to change your relationship with food by starting right where you are, practicing healthy habits, and learning to fuel your body properly through the day for weight loss and energy.
