Have you ever wondered why some drinks can cause gas and bloating? This article may explain. It may be a good incentive to give up carbonated drinks!

Certain drinks contain ingredients or have certain characteristics that can upset our stomachs, from fizzy sodas to some seemingly healthier options.

Make the most of every day. Don't waste a drop of it.

Life is fragile. 🩷

We can’t change the past.

And we just don't know what tomorrow may bring.

But one thing we are sure of, is that there is a whole lot of love to be poured into today.

And there's a whole lot of love in our world.

Really there is. 🩷

Yes, life is fragile.

And love is eternal.

Let's choose love. 🩷

If you've ever wondered why you have some weird symptoms, this article might interest you. Some of them may be a sign of cancer.

Most symptoms shouldn't cause you to panic. But it's important to know what's normal for you, and to talk to a doctor if something feels unusual - especially if the symptom doesn't improve after a couple of weeks or it gets worse.

“Pooh,” said Piglet softly, “how do you know when it’s time to step away from things that make you sad?”
Pooh thought about this very carefully, because it was a question that touched both the heart and the tummy, and those were the most important sorts of questions. “Well, Piglet,” he said, “sometimes you notice that certain places or certain thoughts feel too heavy, like carrying too many honey pots all at once.
And then you remember—it’s all right to set some of them down.”
Piglet tilted his head. “But isn’t that leaving things behind?”
Pooh shook his head gently. “Not leaving, Piglet. Just choosing. Choosing to keep what makes you warm inside and putting down what makes your paws ache.
Because even in the Hundred Acre Wood, not every path is meant for every day. Some paths lead to sunshine, and some only to thistles.”
Piglet gave a little sigh of relief.
“So self-care is knowing which path to walk?”
“Exactly,” said Pooh. “It’s remembering that it’s not selfish to take care of your heart. Because when your heart is lighter, you have more to share with the friends who need you most.”
And with that, Pooh leaned back against the log, flower in hand, tea steaming beside him, and decided that the best kind of strength wasn’t carrying everything, but knowing when to carry less. ❣️🌻 Xx . . .

"Love
doesn't just sit there,
like a stone,
it has to be made,
like bread;
remade all the time,
made new."

Relationships grow in this way. 💛☕🧡

This is something of a worry! You would rather expect that they would have done some significant testing before they released these drugs onto an unsuspecting public.

Although I can see their benefit (being overweight does increase cancer risk), please be careful if you are taking these drugs. Get yourself checked regularly to ensure that, if they do cause cancer for you, you can get it dealt with quickly.

⚠️ Cancer Concerns Around Popular Weight-Loss Drugs Like Ozempic

Breakthrough medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro—all GLP-1 receptor agonists—have transformed weight loss and diabetes management by lowering blood sugar and suppressing appetite. Yet as their use skyrockets, scientists are investigating possible long-term cancer risks associated with these drugs.

The strongest concern centers on thyroid cancer. Animal studies show that high doses of GLP-1 drugs can trigger thyroid tumors, and a recent large French study found a possible link between prolonged human use (beyond one year) and thyroid abnormalities. As a precaution, people with a personal or family history of thyroid cancer or genetic conditions like MEN2 are advised to avoid these treatments.

Potential ties to pancreatic cancer remain speculative. While GLP-1 drugs can occasionally cause pancreatitis—an inflammation that increases pancreatic cancer risk—no clear causal link has been confirmed. Curiously, early research suggests that tirzepatide, a newer dual-acting drug, may even shrink certain tumors in animal models, though its human implications remain unknown.

It’s also important to note that obesity itself is a major cancer risk factor. Whether any reduction in cancer rates seen among users of GLP-1 drugs results from the medication’s biology or simply from weight loss remains unclear.

For now, experts stress balance: GLP-1 drugs offer powerful metabolic benefits, but long-term vigilance is essential as science continues to unravel their full safety profile.

Easy ways to exercise that don't cost anything are always helpful. I'm sharing this as much as a reminder to me as to you. 😉

Have you ever thought of your body as a portable gym? It can be, whether it’s squats in the park or push-ups at home.

This is beautiful. Pooh always was so wise. Remember you can always set down your problems for a while if you are struggling. 🤗

Are you looking for a boost to your treatment regime? Zeaxanthin might be the answer you need, according to recent research.

Zeaxanthin, best known for eye health, has been found to boost the tumor-killing power of T cells. Researchers showed it strengthens T-cell receptors, enhances immune signaling, and improves the effects of immunotherapy. Found naturally in foods like spinach and peppers, it’s safe, accessible, and...

Interesting. I must try to find some.

A 2005 study found that English Ivy significantly reduced air pollutants specifically reducing airborne f***s by 94% and airborne mold by 78% within just 12 hours.

English Ivy is also particularly effective at removing formaldehyde, a common indoor pollutant found in building materials, furniture and household cleaning products.

English Ivy also helps remove benzene from your air which is a volatile organic compound (VOC) also found in many household cleaning products and can be harmful to human health.

Another VOC that can be removed by English Ivy is xylene which is commonly found in paints, solvents and other products.

Furthermore, the chemical trichloroethylene, often found in dry cleaning and degreasing agents, can also be reduced by English Ivy.

The downside is, English Ivy contains triterpenoid saponins that cannot be ingested by pets so you must keep your plant hanging and unreachable to your pets!
