Morning Rituals: Nutritionist-Approved Habits to Boost Stress Resilience

Here are five-morning habits that a nutritionist might recommend for building stress resilience:

1. Hydrate with Warm Lemon Water: Starting the day with a glass of warm water infused with fresh lemon juice can help hydrate your body, boost digestion, and provide a dose of vitamin C, which supports adrenal function and helps reduce stress.

2. Mindful Breathing or Meditation: Taking just a few minutes in the morning to practice deep breathing or mindfulness meditation can help calm the mind, reduce cortisol levels, and improve overall resilience to stress throughout the day.

3. Eat a Balanced Breakfast: A nutritionally balanced breakfast that includes complex carbohydrates (like whole grains), lean protein (such as eggs or yogurt), and healthy fats (like avocado or nuts) helps stabilize blood sugar levels and provides sustained energy, which can help manage stress levels.

4. Exercise or Stretching: Engaging in some form of physical activity, whether it's a brisk walk, yoga, or stretching exercises, in the morning can help release endorphins, improve mood, and reduce stress hormones like cortisol.

5. Practice Gratitude or Positive Affirmations: Taking a moment each morning to reflect on things you're grateful for or repeating positive affirmations can shift your mindset towards optimism and resilience, helping to buffer against stressors that may arise during the day.

Rethinking Moderate Drinking: Why Abstaining Might Be Healthier

A recent Canadian study has raised questions about the supposed health advantages of moderate alcohol consumption. Analyzing 107 studies on alcohol and longevity, researchers found that previous research often compared moderate drinkers with those who abstained or drank very little, overlooking that some abstainers had quit due to health issues.

Dr. Tim Stockwell from the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research emphasized that the belief in alcohol's life-extending benefits may be based on flawed comparisons. The study, which found no clear longevity advantage for light to moderate drinkers in robust research, suggests a need for more precise assessments in alcohol-related health guidelines and policies.

Vance Sparks Fury with 'Childless Cat Ladies' Remark: Swift Fans Predict 'Armageddon

JD Vance found himself at the center of controversy this week after a resurfaced video clip sparked outrage among a vocal online community, particularly Taylor Swift fans. The clip, originally aired on Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" in 2021, shows Vance criticizing certain Democratic figures as "childless cat ladies" and questioning their stake in America's future. His comments, unearthed by the editor-in-chief of MeidasTouch Network on Monday, quickly went viral, amassing over 25 million views by Wednesday.

The backlash was swift, with Swift's fanbase expressing dismay over Vance's remarks. Some fans pointedly suggested that Vance "might need to calm down" in response to his comments about women who are both childless and cat owners. The timing of the video's resurgence coincides with Vance's emergence as a potential Republican nominee for the 2024 vice presidency, opposing Vice President Kamala Harris.

While Swift had endorsed President Joe Biden and Harris in 2020, she has not yet indicated support for any candidate in the upcoming presidential election.
