Daily 5 by Latham Thomas
1. Practice Phone-Fasting
It only takes a pinch! Adding spices like turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, saffron, rosemary and ginger add color and flavor to our food, while each possesses brain-healthy and even mood-boosting properties. A tip: using a pinch of black pepper with turmeric significantly increases its availability in the body and brain.
2. Create a Bedtime Ritual
Go to bed at roughly the same time every night, in the same place. Avoid sleeping in different areas of your home, like on the couch or in an armchair. Wind down by lighting an aromatic candle, taking a warm bath, cleansing your face, following with moisturizing your skin, turning off all electronic devices, taking a few minutes for mindfulness, and getting into bed.
3. Schedule Around Your Monthly Cycle
Do you follow your menstrual cycle? Learning to honor your feminine cycle can help promote harmony. Use your cycle as an opportunity to rest, slow down and nourish yourself. In the days leading up start to thin out your schedule. Minimize the number of meetings you take, social outings and go really easy on exercise. Map out your month and plan out the big things- working around your monthly cycle. Slow down on your list of tasks so you can feel rejuvenated on the other side of your cycle and prevent burn-out.
4. Keep a Vision Journal
Splurge on a notebook and a nice pen to record the dreams you summon forth. Write the date, and leave the entry blank before going to bed. Leave the book open with your pen inside, setting your intention to remember your dream.
5. Ask for Help
You can change how you feel both emotionally and physically by the small choices you make every day. We eat, and we eat several times a day – so why not make that your smart advantage by nourishing your noggin! Healthy whole foods are important for maintaining tissue, keeping inflammation down and good moods up!

Fiber and Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs)

They support immune system function, help nourish intestinal tissues, and stimulate the growth of some types of good bacteria in your gut.
