There is a virtual cornucopia of foods, herbs, and other forms of nourishment that are readily available to lower high blood pressure, or hypertension, naturally. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts are just a handful of healthy things you can eat to promote healthy blood flow. Learning the benefits of these foods and determining which ones are best for your diet may help to lower your blood pressure and maintain circulatory health.
“Blood is a very special juice,” wrote the famous 18th-century author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, but it is more than just “special.” Blood is the fuel that sustains human and animal life. It enables the body to stay alive by carrying oxygen and nutrients to living cells, taking away waste products, and transporting immune cells to fight infections. The average human adult body contains more than six quarts of blood which travels through the blood vessels and…

According to guidelines set by the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines, nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure. If you don’t have high blood pressure yourself, chances are you know someone who does. Being aware of high blood pressure and hypertension is critical. When left undiagnosed, it can lead to heart attack, stroke, or other dangerous health conditions. The first step towards preventing or mitigating the risks of high blood pressure is recognizing the issue. While it is often called the “silent killer,” there are some common signs and symptoms of high blood pressure you can watch out for.
Blood pressure is the pressure or force of the blood as it moves through your circulatory system. It is most commonly measured using a tool called…

Feb 2 marks the solar point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. It’s the pagan holiday of Imbolc, the birthing of the lambs, also called Candlemas. And a time for divination about weather, hence Groundhog Day.
If Candlemas is fair and bright,
winter has another flight.
If Candlemas brings clouds and rain,
winter will not come again.
And
If Candlemas Day is bright and clear,
there’ll be two winters in the year.
Wishing you a peaceful Imbolc,
Susan

Excitement is the word of the day as Venus trines Uranus. If you were expecting a typical Saturday, then expect the unexpected. Our Page of Wands shows exciting changes are indeed possible. And, of course, with Uranus in the mix, you can never be quite certain what will happen.
The Page is a Messenger, signifying inspiration and new beginnings. It is true that the changes you wish may not be here just yet, but it is inevitable that they will occur. Our dancing goddess depicted here may have a good idea. Go out, socialize, and dance the night away. You should like today, and, if single and mingling, Venus may just send a surprise your way.
See you here tomorrow!

Hidden life beneath the snow and ice…… What discovery could fit Imbolc better than this? Scientists in Antarctica have discoveredliving bacteria, as well as animal bodies, in the permanent darkness of pockets of water beneath hundreds of meters of ice in Antarctica! Unlike our winter which is months long for most of us, these have not seen the light of day for thousands of years!
The life exists, hidden beneath the snow. Gathering strength, yet hidden in many ways. How long and harsh will this winter be? Can traditions of groundhogs or candles tell us? I recently saw a Pagans personalized Wheel of the Year, and they had Imbolc labelled as “Brightening”, opposite the sacred holiday of “Dimming”. I think these are great names – though the change does start at the Solstices, it’s later that the change begins to be noticeable. These and many other themes…

Beware of trigger happy or rather trigger angry, mad, pissed off, revenge energies February 1 as Mars in Aries where he is the warrior on fire squaring Pluto in Capricorn.
This can be a dangerous day of shootings bombings and angry mobs. The Energy is high and aggressive. Mars and Pluto both rule Scorpio so the overall theme here is one of transformation, change, death and rebirth.
This is very sexual heavy energy too. Urge to rape and be primitive aggressive and animalistic is high. Women be on the defense and men too.
If you can channel this competitive aggressive Dominating BDSM carefully and both parties are clear this could be rewarding for you.
Mars is the planet of the Masculine and Pluto’s square to it indicated a transformation in the aggressive male warrior energy. The Patriarchy’s time is up. Their self-imbued self- proclaimed hierarchical power over women, the earth…

Welcome to February! Today it is time to pick up the reins of your life, jump in the driver seat, and get this show on the road. It does not matter that it is Friday, you can resume control of something today, and begin to feel as though you are putting life back on track.
I have been speaking of a square between Mars (action) and Pluto (transformation), and today you may feel compelled to take charge. However, keep it to your own self and situations, for messing with the higher-ups simply will not work today. Victory in an important area is totally possible now, and you should become clearer, as in black and white, with no gray areas. Good moves on your part today can be a much-needed confidence builder, pushing you toward the changes necessary to have the life you desire.
See you here tomorrow!

Our curious Page of Swords possesses the type of restless mental energy that reminds us of Mercury, the planet of thinking and communication, which, tomorrow, will be making several aspects. We always seem to see energy creeping in the day before, and today is no exception, especially with a square forming between Mars and Pluto. Can you say power plays?
I believe if you stick to the personal challenges before you today, pertaining to your life and your work, then you will navigate all of this quite fine. The Page of Swords can be a bit impulsive, scattered and easily distracted, so if you want to achieve success with a project today, you may need to shut out the outside world. Seems like just the other day I was saying don’t poke the bear. With the Mars/Pluto square tomorrow, and the New Moon in Aquarius only a few days a…

Your spiritual beliefs are highlighted today, not only by the Hierophant card itself, but thanks to the Sagittarius Moon, Jupiter in Sagittarius, and a sextile building toward tomorrow between Saturn and Neptune. Saturn demands hard work and Neptune is all about your hopes and dreams, and the optimism provided to you today should help carry you far in your quest for your true desires.
And what of your beliefs? Sagittarius allows you to see the bigger picture, perhaps expand on your spiritual horizons. This card is very much about those spiritual beliefs, and it is even possible under the Aquarian influence of the Sun and Mercury, that you are considering new affiliations which resonate deeply with your soul.
In the more worldly scope of things, this card represents teaching and learning, very much a Sagittarian thing, and, it could be as simple as hearing of massive school closings in the…

New treatment approaches are needed to prevent cognitive decline and dementia in the growing elderly population. Several traditionally used medicinal plants have been reported to enhance cognitive function and improve brain health through their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. Among those plants are sage (Salvia officinalis, Lamiaceae), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis, Lamiaceae), and Melissa (lemon balm; Melissa officinalis, Lamiaceae). Although study findings support the traditional use of these plants individually for cognitive function, no study has examined the clinical effects of a combination of sage, rosemary, and Melissa (SRM) on memory. These authors conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial to evaluate the effects of an SRM combination on verbal recall in healthy participants.
The study was conducted at Dilston Physic Garden Centre and BodyWorks Therapy Center in Northumberland, United Kingdom (the dates of the study are not given) and included healthy participants who were aged…

Snow fungus (TF; Tremella fuciformis, Tremellaceae) is a mushroom with a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. It is used for enhancing cognition, promoting healthy brain aging, and preventing neurodegenerative disorders. The bioactive polysaccharides in TF have demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, lipid-lowering, and hypoglycemic effects. According to the authors, TF has not been studied clinically for improving cognition. Subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) is defined as having a self-perceived cognitive problem, despite cognitive test measurements within a normal range. This population is thought to be a target for early intervention to prevent future development of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease. The authors conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral TF in participants with SCI.
Participants (n=75, aged 40-65 years) were recruited through local advertisements in Seoul, Korea. Included participants had ≥12 years of education and SCI, but no…
