One of the most important aspects of optimal health is a balanced state of being between the body, mind and spirit. Generally speaking, when the body is healthy and the mind is at peace, the spirit is vibrant and full of life. So how does one achieve this?
Well, even though there is no one, right answer for everyone, there are several well-known techniques to achieve this harmonious balance.
Hence aside from healthy eating and healthy thinking, many people partake in various relaxation techniques such as meditating, walking, yoga or Pilates. These prevalent activities are usually very effective at promoting optimal health by connecting the body, mind and spirit and are often greatly enhanced by music.
Thus, it is with great joy that I introduce to you a rising new artist, Cedar Jones who is the composer of the group called Hush.
Hush has recently composed a relaxation album called Quiet Music for a Loud World. The album combines ambient soundscapes with gentle, soaring melodies.
The word “autism” today has become all too common in our society. Most parents-to-be cringe at the thought of this term, while parents with non-autistic children breathe sighs of relief.
But what can be said about the high percentage of parents with autistic children?
Although I believe that everything is a blessing in disguise and nothing “bad” exists, from which does not come a greater good, I cannot ignore the struggles that many parents and family members have to face at one point or another with autistic children.
Currently it is not known what exactly causes Autism and there is no exact cure for it, but scientists are steadily working on these two areas and the latest research points to managing and perhaps even eradicating Autism through the child’s diet.
At the end of May, Evolving Wellness featured a 5 part Sun Smart Series to maximize the benefits of the sun, while minimizing the risks.
One of the consumer’s biggest challenges I noted, was to actually find a sunscreen that would protect against the harmful radiation of the sun, while at the same time not increasing the risks of skin and other cancers due to the harmful chemicals in the sunscreen.
Finding safe alternatives was not that easy, that is until now!
The Environmental Working Group’s division Skin Deep has just updated and released their list of the safest and most effective sunscreens. They investigated over 1000 brand name sunscreens and the results are in. Their findings indicate that 4 out of 5 sunscreens contain chemicals that pose risks to our health. This is obviously not good news for a product that we are trusting to protect us.
And so I am delighted to share this list with you here!
