Everything we take in impacts our health for either positive or negative effect.
A few examples to consider:
What we take in with our mouth:
Quality of water (and quantity)
Quality of food including nutrition, unhealthy additives and contaminants like glyphosate.
Qualities of liquids including sugars, high fructose corn syrup, caffeine and alcohol
It’s worth taking the time to think about and include the concept of moderation. Some things are ok in moderation, and some are always counterproductive.
Consuming purposefully, knowing how what we take in, nourishes us, is neutral or harmful, is a great early step toward improving Healthspan.
One approach: Keep a 24 hour food and drink log- write down everything you eat or drink without trying to ‘be good’, and take a look at what is there that is not useful, what you could use more of, and congratulate yourself on whatever nutritious things you consume.
Take the time to nurture relationships and establish new ones. It's easy to let time slip by and lose touch.. We support our communities and they support us
Nature follows cycles whether we are watching or not. These salmon know where they are going. I invite you to sit mindfully with them , and if you wish, share what that is like.
A dear friend is helping others with significant challenges today, and this is posted for her,

Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
