Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate biochemical reactions in your body. Digestive enzymes are important for proper digestion and nutrient absorption, but the benefits of enzymes do not end there
Researchers have discovered enzymes for all sorts of uses, from boosting athletic endurance by optimizing digestion and nutrient uptake to treating cancer
A variety of spices helps to relieve bloating by improving gut motility, stimulating digestion and relieving gas
Fennel seeds are considered a natural remedy for digestive disorders, including heartburn, bloating, gas and even chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Ginger also has a long history of use as a natural digestive aid, useful for relieving nausea, indigestion, bloating and more

CO2 is typically thought of as nothing more than a harmful waste product of respiration, but it’s actually a driver of mitochondrial energy production, and it improves the delivery of oxygen into your cells
One of the simplest ways to optimize your CO2 is by breathing properly. Most people tend to over-breathe, which causes you to expel too much CO2. Proper breathing involves breathing less and breathing slower. Both of these allow CO2 to build up, and that appears to be part of why breathwork has such wide-ranging benefits
To have sufficient CO2 production, you need healthy mitochondria because CO2 is produced exclusively in the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria. If you have mitochondrial dysfunction, if you're hypothyroid or have high levels of inflammation, then you will not be producing enough CO2
Spore-based probiotics, or sporebiotics, consist of the cell wall of bacillus spores, which has a long history of successful use as an immune modulator
Sporebiotics dramatically increases immune tolerance and is often capable of resolving food intolerances in autistic children and those with neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, ALS and Lyme disease
Since sporebiotics do not contain the actual live bacillus strains, only its spores, they are unaffected by antibiotics and offer excellent microbiome support when you need to take such drugs
Dutch investigative journalist Elze van Hamelen reports on the “tsunami of fake foods” being rolled out by the biotech industry
Fake meats are not about your health or the environment’s; they’re a tool to phase out farmers and ranchers and replace them with an ultraprocessed food product that can be controlled by patents
Making lab-grown meat is “insanely expensive” and plagued by bacterial and viral contamination
Winston Churchill, 1931: “Synthetic food will, of course, also be used in the future. The new foods will from the outset be practically indistinguishable from the natural products, and any changes will be so gradual as to escape observation.”
Using the laws of gravity, a vacuum and evaporation are two ways to get rid of water in your ears
Never use a pen, bobby pin, crochet needles or even your fingers in your ears in an effort to extract water as it could perforate your eardrum or cause an infection
Swimmer’s ear is the most common type of ear infection in adults and should not be confused with otitis media, the common type of childhood ear infection
Pain, inflammation, crusty skin and a watery discharge are all symptoms of swimmer’s ear, caused most often by contaminated water in swimming pools, hot tubs, water parks, fountains, lakes, rivers or oceans
