Fruit Fear
Fear Not! Throughout the centuries, fruit has been known to be one of the most healing foods available to us on this planet. In the past couple of decades, however, you may have noticed a shift in our perception of bananas, apples, melons, and mangoes. Many people have begun to fear fruit so much so that they avoid it altogether.

Itâs time to set the record straight on the powerful healing properties of this food group and the countless critical benefits they can bring you and your family.

The Eight Glasses of Water a Day Thing Is Bullshit
Itâs true that Americans donât drink enough water. A study conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 43 percent of American adults drink less than four cups of water per day. You probably heard that youâre âsupposedâ to drink 8 glasses of water each day, but what if that was just bullshit? Just a marketing ploy by the bottled water industry.Â

The Critical Importance of Time Restricted Feeding in Weight Loss
There have been two main changes in dietary habits from the 1970s until today. Prior to 1970, there was no official government sanctioned dietary advice. You ate what your mother told you to eat. But the other major change was in when we eat. From the NHANES study in 1977, most people ate was 3 times per dayâââbreakfast, lunch and dinner. By 2004, the world had changed. Most people were now eating almost 6 times per day. Could this be a major contributor to the obesity epidemic?

Can an Introvert Ever Change?
If youâre an introvert wishing you had what it takes to tip the scale a bit towards extroversion, this new research will show you how. All it takes is determination and a specific plan of action. You have what it takes to change your brain, which means youâre in charge of your personality. Knowing this is key to having your personality suit you instead of define you.

Of course, Introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world! Like Susan Cain, we believe that introversion should also be encouraged and celebrated. We are, after all, a company of introverts at heart. âșïž

You should be sleeping more than eight hours a night. Hereâs why.
For something that we spend a third of our lives doing (if weâre lucky), sleep is something that we know relatively little about. âSleep is actually a relatively recent discovery,â says Daniel Gartenberg, a sleep scientist who is currently an assistant adjunct professor in biobehavioral health at Penn State. Do we really need that much sleep? What makes sleep so essential for our wellbeing comes down to three main things: to save our energy, to help our cells recover, and to help us process and understand our environment.Â

Fun fact: Humans used to sleep in two shifts. Should we think about adopting this pattern again?

The Environmental and Human Cost of Making a Pair of Jeans
Americans do love their denim. So much so that the average consumer buys four pairs of jeans a year. In Chinaâs Xintang province, a hub for denim, 300 million pairs are made annually. Just as staggering is the brew of toxic chemicals and hundreds of gallons of water it takes to dye and finish one pair of jeans. Who knew even our trusty pair of blue jeans were also polluting rivers, ecosystems, & our own bodies?! Fortunately, there is a company creating a better jean with new, improved technology.

Cleaning out our closets. We think of it like a party. A mid-year âget rid of all things Iâve never wornâ party. Because it is worth celebrating! Itâs important to ask yourself why youâre holding onto things you havenât worn in ages. And throwing out old stuff makes room for NEW stuff. Do the clothes you own align with the person you wanna be? If not, BYE.
