The heart of a child is perhaps the most precious thing on earth. As parents and teachers, we want them to grow strong and whole. To do so in a fractured world of harm and fear and apathy is an immeasurable feat that takes resilience and courage. It also takes focus, discipline and respect. As challenging as it is to build strong children, there are few things more important in life.

A study from the University of Washington, in Seattle, tested the relationship of immune system functioning to lack of adequate sleep. To rule out genetic factors, which experts say account for 31 to 55 percent of individual sleep patterns, researchers tested blood samples from 11 pairs of adult identical twins (genetic matches) with differing sleep habits. They found that the immune system was depressed in the twin that slept less.
Becoming a new mother is one of the most beautiful things in the world. However, the task involves a lot of physical and hormonal changes. The abdominal muscles and pelvic floor are two muscle groups that are most affected by pregnancy. The abdominal wall stretches to allow the fetus to grow and the pelvic floor is constantly challenged to support the new weight. This sometimes will cause the abdominal wall to separate, which is called diastasis recti.
Breathing happens naturally, without effort or forethought. Aren’t we lucky?
Think again. The cost associated with relying on this unconscious system is that we know little about the physical benefits of focused, intentional breathing. As a result, the body becomes undernourished. There’s not enough oxygen to provide energy for every cell in the body. You may experience this as sluggishness and brain fog. While the brain thinks it’s in charge of the wellbeing show, other parts of the body are the truth tellers.

Every second of every day, we are constantly exposed to toxins that could potentially harm our bodies. They’re in the air we breathe, the foods we eat, the beverages we drink—they’re even in the products that we use. While most of these toxins will do us no major harm, and our bodies are more than capable of dealing with the vast majority of them, some of these toxins and free radicals can lead to more serious problems. This is why it is so important that we carry out regular detoxes and detoxify our entire bodies.
