What we are reading now? The Stress-Proof Brain
Master Your Emotional Response to Stress Using Mindfulness and Neuroplasticity
“For people suffering from stress, this book is a godsend.”
—Kristin Neff, Ph.D., author of Self-Compassion
“Highly recommended for mental health professionals and consumer health readers looking to manage stress.”
Modern times are stressful—and it’s killing us. Unfortunately, we can’t avoid the things that stress us out, but we can change how we respond to them. In this breakthrough book, a clinical psychologist and neuroscience expert offers an original approach to help readers harness the power of positive emotions and overcome stress for good.
Stress is, unfortunately, a natural part of life—especially in our busy and hectic modern times. But you don’t have to let it get in the way of your health and happiness. Studies show that the key to coping with stress is simpler than you think—it’s all about how you respond to the situations and things that stress you out or threaten to overwhelm you.
The Stress-Proof Brain offers powerful, comprehensive tools based on mindfulness, neuroscience, and positive psychology to help you put a stop to unhealthy responses to stress—such as avoidance, tunnel vision, negative thinking, self-criticism, fixed mindset, and fear. Instead, you’ll discover unique exercises that provide a recipe for resilience, empowering you to master your emotional responses, overcome negative thinking, and create a more tolerant, stress-proof brain.
This book will help you develop an original and effective program for mastering your emotional brain’s response to stress by harnessing the power of neuroplasticity. By creating a more stress tolerant, resilient brain, you’ll learn to shrug off the small stuff, deal with the big stuff, and live a happier, healthier life. Read more about the Amygdala, the prefrontal cortex (PFC), the adrenaline, and many more.

10 tips on how to eat well and live healthy
1. Take liquids before solids. Foods that are less difficult to digest and require less time should be eaten first. After the easier swallow food has been consumed, start with harder to chew foods that need more time for digestion. The food, which is more solid and has lower water content, should be taken after the food, which has the highest water content. Soup and vegetables should be taken before the main meal.
2. Do not eat until you are genuinely hungry. When you are hungry our stomach will tell us that it needs food. This means the stomach is empty from the previous meal and is ready to digest a new meal. If you eat when you are not hungry or continually eat and mix semi digested foods with new ones, it will cause the mixture to stay in the stomach pouch for a longer time. This causes the purification and fermentation of foods leading to health problems.
3. It is best to chew each bite of food 20-30 times. Chewing food is a very important process in proper digestion. Dieticians recommended chewing solid food to the extent. This ensures proper breakdown and causes the food to change to the more liquid before making for a more simple digestion process. Many problems and diseases are caused by not chewing food adequately.
4. Do not overeat. The stomach has a limited capacity for food and needs some space for mixing and digestion. If it is completely full, it cannot function properly. The stomach is located beneath the heart, and when the stomach is full it expands and applies pressure on the heart. The process leaves very little space for the heart to beat at its proper place. Too much pressure can cause the heart to palpitate or to beat at irregular intervals. Always stop eating before you feel full. It takes approximately 20 minutes for the stomach to let your brains know you are in fact full and that it is best at that time to stop eating.
5. Do not drink while you are eating. Water, juices or carbonated drinks should not be taken with a meal as they dilute the stomach juices and enzymes and interrupt the digestion process. This causes gas, bloating, pain, constipation and toxicity of the whole body. Undigested food goes into the intestines and then into the colon where it putrefies and ferments to create more gas and acid, which is then re-absorbed, into the bloodstream. Water and all kinds of drinks can be taken half an hour before and about two hours after the meal.
6. Do not mix different food groups together and try to eat a single food group at one time. There are different groups of food in nature, for instance, fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Most of the food we consume is complex, but in order to have better digestion, it is best not mix proteins with carbohydrates or fats with proteins. For example, the traditional North American dish of steak and potatoes is not a good mixture for healthy digestion and nutrients absorption. If a potato, which is carbohydrate, gets served with vegetables it makes an ideal food combination. Carbohydrates and vegetables also make a good combination. A proper combination of the right foods makes for overall healthy digestion.
7. Do not eat any processed or manufactured foods. Any food that has been altered by the process using heat or the adding of chemicals to preserve or add flavor or is vitamin enriched is not healthy to eat. For example, white bread does not have any food value left in it nor does cold cuts which are full of chemicals and coloring. All added chemicals are hazardous to your health.
8. Add lots of fiber to your meals. The human digestive system is a long tube that should be filled with a large number of fibrous foods. Fiber absorbs water and cleans the digestive tract. A lack of fibers in your diet causes many kinds of disorders and diseases; from constipation to cancer.
9. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Our body is made up of 65% to 70% of water. Without an adequate amount of water, the body does not function optimally and there is a general lack of energy and concentration. All nutrients and vitamins must be dissolved in water in order to be absorbed into the bloodstream. The amount of water to drink is based on the bodyweight of the individual; for each kilogram of weight, one ounce of water is needed. Note that too much water is also not recommended as it flushes the nutrients out of your body.
10. Exercise. Exercising makes the muscles strong and keeps the bones dense. It stimulates the lymphatic system keeping the fluids moving so it works better at keeping us healthy. Our lymphatic system is responsible for waste collection and immunity protection. It does not have a pumping system like our bloodstream has to the heart; therefore, the speed of fluid movement is very low. Regular exercise keeps the continual appellation of toxins through the lymphatic system removing them from the body.

Cleaning the organism
There are several organs that expulse invading toxins from our remarkable organism – the human body. The most important role in this process belongs to the liver, which is responsible for all chemical activity in the body. In particular, it is active in the processing of digested food. The liver makes the most serious “decisions” in food absorption. The most significant and remarkable organ has the capability to regenerate itself. I f we only had half of our liver, it would still be capable of performing all its functions.
The liver has a very important role in our organism:
-
Deprives the organism of toxic substances as well as from adverse fat in fried and chemically processed foods
-
Fulfills 24 regular tasks
-
The emotions such as anger, irritation or stress have a negative impact on liver activity
The other very important organ is the intestine, which escorts waste (the mass of sediments) from our body. Our health depends, among other things, on regular elimination. If sediments stay too long in our intestines, toxins are being created. After a time they get into our bloodstream which results in the poisoning of the organism. This can lead to various illnesses such as migraine headaches or even cancer.
The kidneys also play an important role in toxin removal (in liquid form). In Chinese medicine, the kidney is called the “essence of life” which suggests our vital energy originates from this organ. We can view the entire state of our organism functioning on the surface of our skin. Skin blemishes and irregularities indicate that there are problems with digestion and toxicity. Almost all skin illnesses originate from inside our organism and are signaled by various inflammations and eczemas.
The face is particularly revealing about our state of health. Skin disorders on the upper lip give information about current stomach conditions and the lower lip points to adversities and intestines. Blemishes found between the eyes alert to adverse conditions of the liver and stomach; if found on the tip of the nose, it can signal a heart problem. The eyes are considered to be a reflection of the state of health of the body.
On the basis of iris research, many illnesses can be diagnosed, even in their initial stage before any symptoms are known. The clarity of the eyes reveals the condition of the liver; if they are congested it means the liver is stressed with toxins. If there are corners of the eye filled with veins it points to the heart being in less than optimum health. If crusts appear in the corner of the eyes, it indicates that the liver is attempting to get rid of excessive amounts of fat.
It is necessary to observe the organism attentively because it informs us about all illnesses and balances disturbances so treatment can be administrated early before any serious damage occurs. Traditional treatment of illnesses often depends on the successful elimination of symptoms. This is only the suppression of the illness from an outside observance and only good for a short time period. As the cause of illness is not clearly understood, it is difficult to be cured. Ailments will continue and often in an intensive form. It is necessary to look for a treat the cause and not only eliminate the effects.
As we know, the majority of civilization illnesses are the result of an improper way of life and excessive quantities of toxins in the organism; and to treat only the symptoms will never provide good results. Intra is an ideal herbal product that helps prevent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Intra Herbs will clean and nourish our organism, creating a balance.
The causes of imbalances in the organism:
-
Hypoxia of particular organs
-
Environmental pollution
-
Consumption of processed food containing chemical substances
-
Toxic compounds in our organism
-
Overeating
-
Insufficient physical activity
-
Shortage of vitamins and minerals
-
Stress, intensity, and concern
-
Inability to relax
Herbs prevent illness and keep the organism healthy because:
-
It is natural
-
Acts positively for the gastrointestinal tract (Siberian Ginseng, Alfalfa)
-
Supports digestion processes and the absorption of nutrients (Cardamom, Passionflower,)

High Blood Pressure and Herbal Alternatives
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
According to the American Heart Association, nearly half of North American adults now have blood pressure levels that would be described as high.
A number of factors contribute to elevated blood pressure, such as:
-
genetics
-
stress
-
diet
-
smoking
-
lack of exercise
Because it’s largely symptomless, hypertension is known as the “silent killer.” This is why it’s so important to have your blood pressure checked regularly. Having high blood pressure increases your risk of several health problems, such as:
-
heart attack
-
stroke
-
diabetes
-
heart failure
-
kidney disease
-
vision loss
-
metabolic syndrome
Due to its lack of symptoms, high blood pressure can inflict damage before you’re even aware you have it, so don’t neglect regular blood pressure screenings. Sometimes treating this condition involves medication.
If you’re thinking of trying herbs for medical reasons, whether it’s the whole herb or a supplement, speak to your doctor first. Currently, there are no herbs regularly recommended by high blood pressure specialists. Some herbs, especially in large quantities, may produce undesirable side effects or interfere with other medications. Discuss your specific herbal medications with your prescribing doctor, so that they will be aware of, and monitor closely for any potential interactions.
Read on to learn more about herbs and the research surrounding them.
Flaxseed
Flaxseed may protect against atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease by reducing serum cholesterol, improving glucose tolerance, and acting as an antioxidant. Flaxseed is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and has been shown in some studies to lower blood pressure.
Basil
Basil might help lower your blood pressure. In rodents, basil extract has been shown to lower blood pressure, although only briefly. The chemical eugenol, which is found in basil, may block certain substances that tighten blood vessels. This may lead to a drop in blood pressure. More studies are needed. Adding fresh basil to your diet is easy and certainly can’t hurt. Keep a small pot of the herb in your kitchen garden and add the fresh leaves to pasta, soups, salads, and casseroles.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is another tasty seasoning that requires little effort to include in your daily diet, and it may bring your blood pressure numbers down.You can include more cinnamon in your diet by sprinkling it on your breakfast cereal, oatmeal, and even in your coffee. At dinner, cinnamon enhances the flavor of stir-fries, curries, and stews.
Cardamom
Cardamom is a seasoning that comes from India and is often used in South Asian cuisine. A small study of 20 people investigating the health effects of cardamom found that participants with high blood pressure saw significant reductions in their blood pressure readings after taking 1.5 grams of cardamom powder twice a day for 12 weeks.
Garlic
Garlic may have the ability to lower your blood pressure by helping to increase a substance in the body known as nitric oxide, which can cause your blood vessels to relax and dilate.
This lets blood flow more freely and reduces blood pressure.
Hawthorn
Hawthorn is an herbal remedy for high blood pressure that has been used in traditional Chinese medicines for thousands of years. In rodents, extracts of Hawthorn seem to have a whole host of benefits on cardiovascular health, including helping reduce blood pressure, preventing hardening of the arteries, and lowering cholesterol. You can take hawthorn as a pill, liquid extract, or tea.
Celery seed
Celery has long been used to treat hypertension in China, and studies in rodents have shown that it may be effective. You can use the seeds, or you can juice the whole plant. Celery may also be a diuretic, which may help explain its effect on blood pressure. Researchers believe that a variety of substances in celery may play a role in lowering blood pressure. However, human studies are needed.
French lavender
The beautiful, perfume-like scent of lavender is not the only useful aspect of the plant. Lavender extracts have been shown to lower heart rate and blood pressure in rodents. Although not many people think to use lavender as a culinary herb, you can use the flowers in baked goods. The leaves can be used in the same way you would use rosemary.
Cat’s claw
Cat’s claw is an herbal medicine used in traditional Chinese practice to treat hypertension as well as neurological health problems. Studies of cat’s claw as a treatment for hypertension in rodents indicate that it may be helpful in reducing blood pressure by acting on calcium channels in your cells. You can get cat’s claw in supplement form from many health food stores.

Remember!
Talk to your doctor about the best treatment options for you, which may include medication, lifestyle changes, or alternative treatments. It’s important to discuss any herbs or supplements with your doctor before taking them. Additionally, don’t stop taking any prescribed medications without speaking with your healthcare provider. It’s important to remember that there’s not enough evidence to recommend taking herbal supplements instead of prescription medications to treat high blood pressure. Very few studies with plants and herbs have been done in humans. Research has not been able to establish side effects, doses, or long-term effects of these supplements.
