🌸 The Essence of a Woman 🌸
By Madeleine’s Health & Wellness Tribe – Women’s Day 2025

In the quiet of morning, before the day starts,
She prays for her family, with love in her heart.
Her hands prepare meals that nourish and heal,
Every choice made with wisdom, every plate full of zeal.

She stirs in the kitchen, with laughter and cheer,
Keeping her loved ones strong year after year.
When they sigh at the thought of a workout to do,
She smiles and says, “Come, it’s good for you!”

She juggles her work and the chores of the day,
Keeping the home warm in a gentle way.
She brings balance and order, yet her spirit stays light,
Her patience a lantern that glows through the night.

Her wellness is more than the body alone,
It’s the kindness and goodness in actions she’s shown.
Her joy is a fountain, her peace like the dove,
Her life is a mirror of God’s perfect love.

She shows self-control when the world says “indulge,”
Her faith is a treasure the storms cannot smudge.
Through gentleness, goodness, and patience she stands,
Holding her home in her capable hands.

For the Essence of a Woman is not just her grace,
It’s the strength of her heart and the light in her face.
A temple of health, a guardian of truth,
A mother’s devotion, a spirit of youth.

So here’s to the women who live life this way,
Shining God’s fruits in their words every day.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

🍋🍇🍓🍊🍉🍐🍎🍑🥝

Against such things there is no other thing as beautiful as the essence of a woman that reflects the fruits of the Spirit of God ." – Galatians 5:22-23 🌹

🌟 Wednesday Wisdom 🌟
Meditate on this thought today… ✨

💭 "We teach people how to treat us by what we allow."

It’s time to protect your spiritual values, your mental health, AND your nutritional goals. 🙌

👉 Learn to say NO to anything that does not serve your growth – whether it’s negative influences, toxic foods, or habits that pull you away from the healthiest version of YOU.

💡 Discipline is hard… but here’s the science-backed truth:
Every time you resist temptation or say "NO" to something harmful, your brain literally rewires itself! 🧠✨

🔬 Through a process called neuroplasticity, your brain creates NEW pathways that strengthen your ability to make better choices. The more you practice discipline, the easier it becomes—your "willpower muscle" grows stronger! 💪

✅ Each NO today = a stronger YES tomorrow for your health, peace of mind, and transformation journey! 🌱💚

🚫 Say NO to what drains you.
✅ Say YES to what builds you.
You are in control of your choices AND your brain is cheering you on with every step! 🎉

🌿💡 NI****NE & AUTISM? YES, REALLY???

Scientists discovered something surprising… link to the study in comments

🧠 In a study on autism-like mice, low doses of ni****ne:
✔️ Helped them become more social
✔️ Reduced their repetitive behaviors
✔️ Supported better brain balance

But only in mice that showed autism-like signs — not in typical ones!

⚠️ Note: We’re not saying go out and smoke! 🚭
Ni****ne (in the right form & dose) affects brain signals — and this gives us hope for natural therapies that calm the brain and boost social connection.

🧪 Future brain & behavior support might come from plant-based or targeted nicotinic receptor therapies.

Did you know that you get ni****ne in certain veggies naturally??? 💁🏻‍♀️ I can’t make this up found this medical studies on ni****ne which I will add to my comment section.

🌿 Top 5 Natural Foods That Contain Ni****ne (Found in Food)

Eggplant (Aubergine) 🍆
➤ The highest natural source of ni****ne among common foods!
➤ ~100 µg/kg — gives a gentle nudge to those brain receptors.

Tomatoes 🍅
➤ Especially when ripe or cooked (like in sauces).
➤ ~7.1–7.3 µg/kg of ni****ne.

Cauliflower 🥦
➤ A cruciferous veggie with a little surprise!
➤ ~1.8 µg/kg of ni****ne.

Tea (especially black & green tea) 🍵
➤ Contains small amounts of ni****ne and compounds that calm the nervous system.

Mesquite Bean Powder 🌰 (your fave)

➤ While not officially listed in ni****ne studies, it stimulates the brain and supports neurological repair, especially beta cell healing — so it fits beautifully into your protocol.

🧠 Fun Fact:
Ni****ne from food is not addictive and gets broken down quickly. But it may mildly stimulate the brain’s focus and attention centers, especially in people with lower acetylcholine.

Here is the revised article:

*The Hidden Link: How Low Magnesium Levels Contribute to High Blood Pressure 💊🔬*

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a widespread health issue affecting millions of people worldwide 🌎. While there are various factors that contribute to high blood pressure, a growing body of research suggests that low magnesium levels play a significant role in its development 📊.

*Understanding Magnesium's Role in Blood Pressure Regulation 💡*

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including muscle contraction, nerve function, and blood pressure regulation 🌈. It helps to relax blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and improving overall cardiovascular health ❤️.

*The Mechanisms Behind Low Magnesium and High Blood Pressure 🔍*

Research has identified several mechanisms by which low magnesium levels contribute to high blood pressure:

1. *Blood Vessel Constriction*: Magnesium helps to relax blood vessels, allowing them to dilate and reduce blood pressure 🌊. When magnesium levels are low, blood vessels constrict, increasing blood pressure 🚨.

2. *Increased Inflammation*: Low magnesium levels can lead to increased inflammation in the body, which can damage blood vessels and contribute to high blood pressure 🔥.

3. *Disrupted Calcium Balance*: Magnesium helps to regulate calcium levels in the body 📊. When magnesium levels are low, calcium can accumulate in blood vessels, leading to increased blood pressure 💸.

4. *Impaired Endothelial Function*: The endothelium, a layer of cells lining blood vessels, plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure 🌈. Low magnesium levels can impair endothelial function, leading to increased blood pressure 🚨.

*Risk Factors for Magnesium Deficiency 🚨*

Certain individuals are at a higher risk of magnesium deficiency, including:

- Older adults 👴
- People with gastrointestinal disorders, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis 🤢

- Those with type 2 diabetes 🍰
- Individuals taking certain medications, such as diuretics or proton pump inhibitors 💊

*Conclusion 🌟*

Low magnesium levels can contribute to high blood pressure by causing blood vessel constriction, increasing inflammation, disrupting calcium balance, and impairing endothelial function 🌈.

Maintaining adequate magnesium levels through a balanced diet, supplements, or lifestyle modifications can help to mitigate this risk 🌱.

*Recommendations 📝*

To support magnesium intake and overall cardiovascular health:

- Consume magnesium-rich foods, such as dark leafy greens, nuts, and seeds 🥗

- Consider taking a magnesium supplement, especially if you are at risk of deficiency 💊

- Maintain a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle 🏋️‍♀️

- Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice 👨‍⚕️

By addressing magnesium deficiency and promoting overall cardiovascular health, individuals can take a proactive step towards reducing their risk of high blood pressure and related complications 💖.
