THE ART OF BALANCE: FOUR WAYS FENG SHUI CAN IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH
Have you ever decluttered a room and felt an overwhelming sense of calm? That feeling isn’t a placebo effect – it’s feng shui. According to the principles of feng shui, clutter is a negative obstacle that must be fixed in order to promote the flow of natural energy. This is even rooted in psychology, with the belief that leaving a room cluttered leaves the brain feeling frustrated, anxious, and overwhelmed.
SEVEN FOODS THAT REDUCE CORTISOL LEVELS: DESTRESS YOUR DIET
Cortisol is a stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands. This hormone is key in helping your body deal with stressful situations.
Short-term cortisol release helps you to run from danger, and cortisol levels are meant to drop once the stressful event is over, such as getting away from a lion that was chasing you. When cortisol levels remain high – when the body doesn’t recognize that stress isn’t a physical threat – your body remains in “fight or flight” mode and ends up paying the toll.
