HAPPY SUNDAY! 🤗 It’s clear there are multiple benefits to be had from incorporating a regular gratitude practice into your wellness routine. ⠀ ⠀ An article published by UC Davis stated, “Gratitude is associated with higher levels of good cholesterol (HDL), lower levels of bad cholesterol (LDL), and lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure, both at rest and in the face of stress.”⠀ ⠀ Gratitude is also linked to better sleep, with both better sleep quality and duration being linked to a grateful attitude. ⠀ ⠀ This same outlook has been linked to higher levels of self-esteem and it can also help us make new friends: Thanking an acquaintance encourages them to pursue an ongoing relationship with you, as it sends a signal that there is potential for a high-quality relationship to be formed. #gratitude #immunefunction #bettersleep #sleep #drmarkhyman #relationships

True story. Every specialty in medicine has recognized the link between inflammation and chronic illness.⠀ ⠀ In an article published by The European Molecular Biology Organization, it stated that both molecular and epidemiological research has increasingly suggested that inflammation is linked to a broad range of non-infectious diseases. -⠀ ⠀ Today, we are all on fire and the effects are staggering. ⠀ ⠀ Autoimmune conditions, asthma, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and more are all inflammatory diseases. When the fires of inflammation spread to the brain, it causes depression, dementia, autism, Alzheimer’s and more. Most psychological and neurological problems are fire in the brain.⠀ ⠀ Sometimes we need to dig a little deeper with the help of a functional medicine practitioner, but often times learning how to deal with inflammation can be simple once you know how to do it. ⠀ ⠀ Make sure your eating plenty of real, whole, hormone and pesticide-free foods, that your exercising, sleeping well, taking the right supplements, and connecting with your community. ⠀ ⠀ You can also reduce inflammation by adding more anti-inflammatory foods into your diet such as turmeric, ginger, rosemary, capsaicin, green tea, and bone broth.⠀ ⠀ It all starts with eliminating the bad stuff and adding in the good stuff.⠀ ⠀ #inflammation #chronicdisease #antiinflammatory #functionalmedicine #nutrition #drmarkhyman
