Mixed Herbal Iced Tea for Health Benefits

Ideas and Advice for How To Live a Joyful and Empowered Life.

I’ve recently adopted a practice of make a large batch of herbal iced tea that lasts about a week until gone (I live by myself).

I started doing this because all herbs have SO many health benefits, vitamins and minerals.

Each week I use different herbs so I’m getting some different health benefits, vitamins and mineral.

I used to take coffee to work in a thermos, but have replaced it with the herbal iced tea and I seem to be less sleepy and have less aches and pains, I believe because of the anti-inflammatory effect that a lot of herbs have. Some, like mint and rosemary can keep you more alert.

The way that I make my herbal iced tea is to fill the container with hot tap water and add sugar to taste (you could also make it without sweetener, or use honey, Stevia or some other healthy alternative)…

Dream diaries

Love , laugh , enjoy .., 
Live life .., and enjoy every moment ..,
For you don’t know .., if there exists a tomorrow,
You don’t even know .., what path you are gonna follow !
Find the courage ,
To wear your scars with pride ,
To accept yourself , the way you are ..,
Find tolerance and be selfless ,
Make your flaw., your forte ,
And love yourself unconditionally!

Don’t plan the future .., you can’t foresee what lies ahead ..,
Run .., run so fast that the fear of death and darkness never pace up ..,
Breathe .., breathe the whole world .., find your happiness ,
Don’t be bothered about failure ,
It’s just another hurdle that you ought to accept and learn ,
And again fly high ,
Cuz you have to be the person hidden inside you!

Dwell on dreams .., work hard…

Zach Real, Charles Donohoe charged in Capitol riots indictment of Proud Boys – The Washington Post

An indictment unsealed Friday charging Zach Rehl, 35, a president of the group’s chapter in Philadelphia, and Charles Donohoe, 33, an organizer in Winston-Salem, N.C., alleges they were among 60 others who communicated on an encrypted channel called “Boots on the Ground” and discussed how one already charged defendant wanted to “go over tomorrow’s plan.” Charging papers allege the group feared it was so close to being uncovered by the FBI and hit with criminal gang counts that they erased, or “nuked,” their prior communications on Jan. 4.

The indictment charged Rehl and Donahoe with six counts, including conspiracy to aid and abet the obstruction of Congress’s confirmation of the 2020 presidential election and police trying to prevent civil disorder.

Miami Beach declares state of emergency amid crowds of spring breakers

Miami Beach, Fla., declared a state of emergency Saturday over concern about large crowds of spring breakers gathering in the city.

Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber (D) said during a news conference Saturday that new measures will be implemented that are “essentially purposed to reduce the number of people” coming to the area. 

Gelber announced an 8 p.m. curfew in the Entertainment District, and a restriction of east-bound traffic on city causeways that will only be accessible to residents and hotel guests.

The measures go into effect at 9 p.m. Saturday, and will remain in effect for 72 hours. Gelber said he will hold an emergency meeting with the City Commission on Sunday to address the measures.

The city later posted the emergency order to its Twitter account. According to the order, these actions are separate from those that the city has put in place to combat COVID-19.

L.A. County reports 521 new coronavirus cases, 56 deaths – Los Angeles Times (Hello! Stop killing your parents and grandparents!)

Of the cases reported Saturday, 70% were people under 50, and of the deaths, 93% were people over 50, the county public health department said in a news release. “Many younger people are out socializing with non-household members, raising concerns that asymptomatic young people are unknowingly helping to spread the virus to more vulnerable people,” Barbara Ferrer, the L.A. County health director, said in a statement. “Though we are making good progress in our vaccination efforts, we are entering a potentially perilous time if people let their guard down.”

Inhalable COVID vaccine? MIT researchers working on immunization potentially more effective than injection – Study Finds

Good news for individuals who simply can’t stand to be stuck with a needle. Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing an inhalable COVID-19 vaccine that could be even more effective than injectable ones. In fact, they believe their research also opens the door for preventing and treating cancers and other diseases.

The researchers hope that, like other vaccines administered to the throat, their development will spark an immune system response as soon as the infection is inhaled. Foundation research on mice shows that an inhalable vaccine is 25 times more effective that one injected into a muscle. That’s because sending the vaccine directly onto mucosal membranes — like those found in the mouth, nose, throat, and lungs — can get immune system cells, or T cells, to “set up shop” ready to attack an infection where it lands.
