Solar Flares and how they affect us

I recently sent out my Center's newsletter and received an overwhelming response to the Solar Flares article. I wanted to post it here for those who don't receive the newsletter since it does have some valuable information.

What is a Solar Flare?A solar flare is a brief eruption of intense high-energy radiation from the sun's surface, associated with sunspots and causing electromagnetic disturbances on the earth, as with radio frequency communications and power line transmissions. Solar flares release vast amounts of high-energy particles and gasses that are tremendously hot.

Why speak about Solar Flares?I have been having conversations with people, lately, that have a reoccurring theme going on and statement. The statement, "I thought Mercury Retrograde was over." As I spoke with a colleague, the other day, she had mentioned solar flares and how they effect electronics and thought this could be the culprit for the electronics still on the fritz. She got me thinking, so I researched a bit on solar flares. Come to find out, they affect more than that.
I found an article that has some wonderful research in it and have the link for you to check it out for yourself. Click here

In the article it gives you symptoms of how you are being affected by the solar flares and what it could be causing. Here are the symptoms from the article itself; Solar Flares affect the Central Nervous System (stomach lining), all brain activity (including equilibrium), along with human behavior and all psycho-physiological (mental-emotional-physical) response. Solar flares can cause us to be nervous, anxiousness, worrisome, jittery, dizzy, shaky, irritable, lethargic, exhausted, have short memory problems and heart palpitations, nausea, queasiness, and to have prolonged head pressure or headaches.

In my conversations with people, they have expressed some of these symptoms and we only attributed it to the energy shifts that are occurring. Part is true but with the solar flare activity increasing, this could be the added to what we are experiencing.

Superfood that extends your life

I thought this was an article that I had to share since this food gets such a bad wrap. People tend to forget valuable nutrition and only focus on the fat grams. People are starting to learn that there are healthy fats that our body does need.

Original post from Prevention Magazine

Pick a nut. Any nut. From pistachios to pecans, popping a handful every day is enough to fend off death, shows a comprehensive study from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and the Harvard School of Public Health.
After tracking the diets and health outcomes of more than 100,000 people for three decades, the study team found those who tossed back roughly 1 ounce of nuts each day were 20 percent less likely to die during the 30-year study period. Breaking down those findings, nut eaters were 29 percent less likely to die from heart disease. And, somewhat surprisingly, those who ate nuts regularly were actually slimmer than those who did not, the research shows.

There was already a hefty pile of medical evidence indicating nut consumption can protect you from heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. But this new study is the most compelling evidence yet that eating nuts can extend your life, says the study's senior author, Charles S. Fuchs, MD, MPH, director of the Gastrointestinal Cancer Center at Dana-Farber.

Why are nuts so healthful? "The short answer is, we're not sure," Dr. Fuchs says. Nuts are a complex food. There are a number of nutty compounds -- amino acids, phytochemicals, fiber, and several vitamins and minerals -- that, alone or in combination, could explain the food's health benefits, he adds. But smart money's on nuts' generous quantities of monosaturated fat, a key component of the Mediterranean-style diet that more and more research shows can safeguard your health and your waistline.

Try to eat an ounce of nuts everyday, Dr. Fuchs advises. "We really didn't see a difference across nut types," he says, so feel free to snack on your favorite. One ounce is equivalent to roughly 20 almonds, 18 cashews, or 30 peanuts. If you can't manage a handful a day, try to get at least some nuts into your diet. Even people who ate them just a couple times a month experienced a 7 percent drop in all-cause mortality, Fuchs's research shows.

For the biggest benefit, throw some nuts into a smoothie. The more you break nuts down before swallowing them -- whether through chewing or blending -- the more healthy nutrients your body absorbs, finds research from Purdue University.

And it makes you skinnier, too? Yes, please!
