Did you know that when we experience stress, our bodies release cortisol - the hormone responsible for regulating stress? Whether it's a physical or psychological challenge, our adrenal glands secrete cortisol into our bloodstream to help us cope. But when we're under constant stress, our cortisol levels can become imbalanced, leading to symptoms like low energy and trouble sleeping. That's where adaptogenic herbs come in. Studies show that these natural remedies can help to lower cortisol levels and reduce stress in the body. So if you're feeling overwhelmed or fatigued, consider incorporating adaptogenic herbs into your routine.

As we reflect on the impact of colonialism on African borders, it's important to acknowledge the detrimental effects that still linger to this day. The improper design of colonial borders has led to various issues, including borderland conflicts and the marginalization of certain communities.

The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 was a key event that saw European powers carve up Africa with little regard for the continent's cultural and ethnic boundaries. The result was a hodgepodge of artificial borders that grouped together disparate groups of people and ignored traditional trade and migration routes.

The arbitrary borders have caused much pain and conflict in African communities, including the Banyarwanda, who were split between Rwanda and Congo. Additionally, the colonial borders have led to a dependence on colonial languages and governance structures, resulting in the suppression of indigenous languages and cultures.

But all hope is not lost. African leaders have recognized the importance of border governance and are working towards creating better border policies. The African Union has developed a Border Governance Strategy that aims to promote regional integration and the free movement of people and goods.

As we continue to strive towards a better future for Africa, let's remember the impact of colonialism on our borders and work towards creating more inclusive and effective border policies. Let's use hashtags like , , , , , , , , , , , , , , to keep the conversation going and raise awareness about the impact of colonialism on African borders.

Wellness is a multi-faceted concept that encompasses different aspects of our being, from physical to emotional and spiritual. Every individual's journey towards wellness is unique and personal, and it's important to understand and embrace the different types of wellness that resonate with us.

In this journey, it's crucial to pay attention to our physical wellness by taking care of our bodies through exercise, proper nutrition and self-care. Additionally, we need to focus on our emotional and mental wellbeing by practicing mindfulness, seeking support when necessary and engaging in activities that bring us joy and happiness.

Spiritual wellness, on the other hand, involves connecting with our inner selves, discovering purpose and meaning in life, and exploring our beliefs and values. This can be achieved through meditation, prayer, mindfulness practices, or simply spending time in nature.

Incorporating traditional wellness practices such as Ayurveda, African and indigenous healing methods, can be especially beneficial as they offer a holistic approach to wellness that encompasses the mind, body and spirit.

Remember, finding the best wellness routes for yourself is a journey, not a destination. Embrace the journey and make it a priority.

Nourishing the soul means feeding it in all the ways that bring us joy and balance. It's about building connections with loved ones, taking time for rest and rejuvenation, and giving ourselves the mental and physical nourishment we need to thrive.

When we prioritize our soul food - the experiences and relationships that bring us happiness and fulfillment - we are able to create bonds that deepen our sense of purpose and belonging. And when we prioritize rest, whether through sleep or simply slowing down, we allow our bodies to recharge and renew.

But our journey towards wellness doesn't stop there. It's important to also prioritize our mental health, seeking out support and resources when we need them, and engaging in self-care practices that keep us grounded and centered. And let's not forget the power of movement - whether through dance, yoga, or simply taking a walk in nature - to invigorate the body and uplift the spirit.

So let's come together to nourish our souls, to create wellness circles that lift us up and sustain us through all the ups and downs of life. Let's embrace the journey and trust the process, because when we prioritize our well-being, we are able to show up in the world as our best selves.

Treating a whole generation with herb 🌿

Last year, the proportion of adults 65 or older who reported recent cannabis use jumped by 18 percent, according to the 2020 National Survey of Drug Use and Health released last week, rising from 5.1 percent in 2019 to 6 percent in 2020.

The spike comes on the heels of a steady trend of increased cannabis use among seniors over the last five years.

What’s more, in 2020, more older adults also reported using ma*****na sometime in their lifetime — a jump from roughly 32 percent to 36 percent — signaling a possible cultural shift in older adults’ willingness to open up about past tokes.
