Improve your gut health with MCTs Did you know MCTs - Medium-chain Triglycerides in coconut oil have antifungal, anti-virucidal, and anti-microbial properties, which are easy to digest and may help restore the balance of gut bacteria? How can you improve your gut health with MCTs? A poor diet in general, or after festivities, can trigger increased symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a proliferation of harmful bacteria, and an imbalanced gut microbiome. Adding MCTs to drinks or foods can help to increase the levels of healthy bacteria in our guts by improving the body's ability to absorb vitamins and minerals and have the ability to reduce bloating and symptoms of IBS. Great news for anyone like me who has to undo the top button on jeans and pants. Coconuts contain many chains of triglycerides; however, the main types are from MCT. These are

Massages can do wonders for our well-being, yet time and expense can get in the way of regular massages. Self-massage, on the other hand, is something that we can do ourselves every day to create and maintain feelings of well-being and self-care. Give yourself a self-massage using the techniques below as often as possible, with or without oil. I like to incorporate a self-massage before and after my shower in the morning. Pre-shower, which is usually a few minutes after waking. I slowly and gently bend forward (as far as my body allows). Using long strokes, I massage the top of my feet, past the ankles and up my legs while gently coming up to standing. Next, I massage my wrists up to my shoulders and neck, and then I have a warm shower. This helps my body and mind wake up

A neti pot is a small pot with a slender spout that is used to treat nasal congestion. It has been my go to every May for the last few years, since moving from Sydney to Melbourne. Every year I experience nasal congestion and at times sinusitis, which I have been able to manage better with the use of a neti pot. I'll be honest it takes a bit of getting used to, but once you become accustomed to the sensation of water running through one nostril and out the other you'll look forward to doing it. The benefits far outweigh the awkwardness.   How to use a neti pot. Always use pre boiled water or distilled water. Do not use tap water as it can lead to a very serious, even fatal infection. When using boiled water, always allow it to

Detox. A prevalent and well-search word every new year. It's a period when people want to make changes by removing the old to make room for the latest trend: a new body, new attitude, new home, new relationships and more. I regularly do cleanouts at home. I have this habit of doing a "new year clean" to eliminate broken, unused, unloved things - essentially clutter. This has been a habit of mine for a very long time. It helps me mentally to start a new year and appreciate clutter-free rooms. Detoxing the body became my top priority. During the gazillion lockdowns, I was a little too carefree with my food and drink choices. I resolved to drink more water, sleep earlier, drink less, and eat less unhealthy food. I also had surgery recently and have had a lot of medication which has

Adaptogens or adaptogenic herbs are medicinal herbs that have been adopted into Ayurvedic, Chinese and naturopathic medicines. "Adaptogens are non-toxic plants that are marketed as helping the body resist stresses of all kinds, whether physical, chemical or biological. These herbs and roots have been used for centuries in Chinese and Ayurvedic healing traditions, but they’re having a renaissance today. Some, like holy basil, can be eaten as part of a meal, and some are consumed as supplements or brewed into teas. Each one claims to do something a little different, but on the whole, “adaptogens help your body handle stress,” says Dr. Brenda Powell, co-medical director of the Center for Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic’s Wellness Institute. “They’re meant to bring us back to the middle.” (Source: time.com/5025278/adaptogens-herbs-stress-anxiety) Our bodies deal with stress, ranging from a mild reaction to something that
